A little bit of angst won’t hurt Fanart to my mermaid AU (i have several ones) One day i’ll tell the plots of these AUs …Maybe

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

Mun has been.. battling some internal demons, of the nasty kind. Apologies if I disappeared. Anyway, back on track now~

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

Aww, man, I'm embarrassed. No, really, I am! I'm just. Ehehehehe... *blushes furiously*

What's the best thing about Alfred?

“Well… He is always happy! That is one thing I have noticed about him. And he gets the best clams for me! that too, and…He can make me relax a whole lot when he scratched behind my ears.“ He said, blushing a little.

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

"What the... what's that floating around the tank?" Alfred muttered, squinting from the other side of the glass. "Wait a second..."

He then blinked a few times, trying to be absolutely certain of what he was seeing.

"...how'd a speaker get in there???"

@ask-merman-vanya

"its called a speaker, it allows you to hear what I'm saying even if im above water" Waves happily at vanya

He pokes it. Frowning. “Well… that is nice and all. But why did you give this to me? Alfred might not like it…”

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

"What the heck? Fish cookies? Those are a thing?!" Came the exhausted grumbling from Alfred, who this time has a bucket of fish with him.

"Are... are you sure that's even safe? How can I know you're not trying to poison him???"

@ask-merman-vanya

*holds up a fish cookie* I... I wanna give this to you!

What is that? That smells nice! Please give me! Ivan chirped happily, wanting the good smelling treat.

@ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred

#when paranoia strikes #replies were made #he's just too fussy #incredibly fussy #ask-merman-vanya

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

"What? Hey! Don't look at me like that!" came the flustered exclamation from Alfred, who at the moment is currently busy cleaning the sides of the large tank.

"If you got complaints... take it to my thick-browed boss. He's the one who wanted to catch a new attraction for the Reserve..." he mutters with a grumble, leaning slightly against the long pole.

@j-birdy @ask-merman-vanya

Really shitty ask but is there anything you like about the aquarium?

Ivan does not really like being cooped up in a closed space, and he misses his family and the open sea. I don’t, I miss my family…. and my cave is too hard and it is not even rock!

@ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred

@j-birdy

#he clearly doesn't like his boss #but he got no choice #as it's the ONLY reserve miles near where he lives #he needs the hands-on experience #eeks #ask-merman-vanya #j-birdy

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

"You really don't wanna touch 'im, kid," came an exhausted voice; it was the tank keeper, Alfred. "I did it before and... well, let me just say mistakes were made. A hell of a lot of mistakes were made. And it wasn't my fault, either..." he trailed off with a grumble.

@snipertiino @ask-merman-vanya

Ohhh glowyness ontop of adorableness?? *eyes big with wonder* Vanya you're amazing! May I please touch your scales? I've always been curious about how they feel..

You made him blush! But please do not touch his scales. Ivan is very glad with the compliments though. Thank you! But please do not touch me…

@snipertiino @ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred

#yeah that's right #no touchy #especially when he's in a pissy mood #kept screeching in my face #it was #for lack of a better term #NASTY

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

More merpeople? Where?!

The outside aquarium

My dear muse is stuck in an aquarium because he got caught by @ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred but fear not! Mers outside of the aquarium can still interact with my muse~

The outside aquarium is a part of his tank that is outside in the sea. But made that he cannot easily escape. He can escape, but he does not know yet how.

@ask-merman-oliver @ask-merman-mattie @ask-monster-hunter-oliver @ask-aph-merman-arthur

#promote! #aka shameless advertising

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

So @ask-merman-vanya is lonely. And I am still of the disbelief that mer exist?

Alright, I know I'm still a skeptic. But enlighten me, o creatures of the deep.

Come out, come out, wherever you (all) are!

#so al just likes this merman #his merman #but doesn't know how to speak merlanguage #anyone who can help??

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

"Ugh. Why do mercreatures not know how to speak English... it's like the Little Mermaid, only without translations!" he muttered to himself. If only I was good at speaking their language but I can't even understand what the hell he's saying...

Sighing, he wondered if feeding the mercreature was such a good idea. He could tell that there was something clearly very wrong, but how could he express it? There was the definite issue of a language barrier between them...

@ask-merman-vanya

Okay, what the heck, why did you bite one of the other staff members? And for the record, wtf is in your fangs? Some kinda venom??? [from: ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

Ivan glared at the human, on the water-filled side of the tank. He gave an angry hiss, baring his teeth. Alfred might be one to give him food every day since he arrived here, but that did not mean he liked the American. I am not going to tell you! His expression seemed to say.

@ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred

#pissy mercreature why #i just want to know you... #:( #sad tank cleaner is sad

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

"Oy! What the hell! Kids these days... you might want to STOP tapping on the glass!" came an angry grumble from somewhere--it's Alfred!

"Seriously. You're just pissing him off!" He adds with an exasperated look at his eyes, herding the young one away.

*sticks nose up to tank and screeches* Are you real?! *begins tapping on the glass*

Stop that, you annoying creature!  Do not be so loud! Do you even call that a screech? Ivan hisses angry at anon.

#ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred #he pissed #i mean look #don't make the mercreature mad!!!

[ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred]

Intro!

Okay, so...

I'm Alfred Frederick J. Williams.

A.k.a. one of the sloppiest best tank keepers at the Kirkland Marine Reserve. While I do get shit from my boss (and his annoying-as-hell secretary) from time to time, I'm thankful that my older brother Matthew Williams works here, too.

Well, asides from Mattie... there are other people who work here, too. I'm on my way to a diploma in marine biology, so I spend my free time here as part of the additional learning experience, as well as getting hands-on interaction on how to actually, legit take care of the fishies!

I don't know about you, but... are mercreatures real?

#ask-aquariumkeeper-alfred #open! #he's the caretaker of the pissy mercreature
