🐟 Fishuary 2024 Day Nine: Ray 🐟
Tumblr media
Another one I wanted to have fun with. No lineart, just went to town. This is the bluespotted ribbontail ray, Taeniura lymma! Sadly couldn't draw one of my iconic smiles on this bad boy as her mouth is on the bottom of her body, but just so you know she is smiling!

Blue tang, bluespotted stingray, yellowfin sturgeonfish
Burgers’ Zoo, Arnhem
Between the bluespotted stingray, a yellowfin sturgeonfish, and all the other fish in this massive coral reef aquarium, this little blue tang had its work cut out for it defending its territory. It was making a valiant effort, despite most of its nemeses being much bigger than itself!

Hi? It's my first requests, so if you don't mind could you please do GN!MC stingrays × octavinelle?
(I'm sorry if i have grammatical mistake)
Have a great day Author-nim ♡
Octavinelle with a Stringray Reader
author note: hiii welcome! i feel like it is going to become my mission to turn every imaginable sea creature into a reader (✯◡✯) i'm up for the challenge! this was really fun to write! also, accidental sugar daddy Azul? Accidental sugar daddy Azul <( ̄︶ ̄)>
characters: Azul Ashengrotto, Jade Leech, Floyd Leech x GN!Stringray Reader
background:
You are a stringray mer, specifically of Bluespotted Ribbontail species. You are considered quite attractive, and your small stature and timid nature only add to your allure. Despite having quite potent venom, your spinal blade does not carry over to your human form.
Tumblr media
Azul Ashengrotto
Oh you poor, sweet summer child.
The first time Azul laid eyes on you, people swear they could see thaumark signs in his eyes.
It was like someone has personally delivered prey to him.
But he was doing you a favour, you know?
With your timid and tender nature, it was only a matter of time before one of the many rogues at this school took advantage of you.
But luckily for you, he can offer you protection. Just sign here and... Perfect. That was easy, wasn't it?
And that is how you began working as a server at the Mostro Lounge, in exchange for Azul's 'protection'.
You quickly became the most popular server at the Lounge, your attractive appearance and nervous, stuttery service becoming a hit with the clientele. Poor little thing, you tug just right on their heartstrings.
Azul was surprised. Whilst he was expecting you to have some popularity (exactly the reason he preyed on you in the first place), he wasn't expecting you to blow up like this.
But he isn't complaining! Celebrating, in fact. Sales have never been better, and seasonal specials have been selling out faster than normal since you joined his staff.
Anyone who goes in the VIP room after hours will see a huge grin on Azul's face as he pours over the business ledgers.
Its because of this that Azul starts to spoil you.
It starts small at first, an extra 15 minute break here and there, a side you hadn't asked for slipped on to your employee meal.
Soon enough, you are granted exclusive access to the VIP room, a perk that was only afforded to the twins up until now.
Oh and what a coincidence, you'll find a study guide for that class you are struggling with on the VIP room table as you take your break. It must have been left out after a client meeting... No harm in you thumbing through it whilst you take your break, Azul would coo.
Azul tries to be discreet, especially once the twins cotton on to your special treatment, with Jade flashing a sharp toothed eerie grin and Floyd complaining that he too wants free study guides.
Azul could justify it, of course, with that you are their best server, in order to maximise the hours you could work, he needed to ensure no other aspect of your life got in the way.
He was definitely justifying it more to himself than he was the twins.
So come, dear. Let him show you your new special uniform for the lunar new year seasonal service...
Tumblr media
Jade Leech
You make work so much more fun for him.
Watching you quiver and almost drop a glass when he creeps up behind you and places a hand on your shoulder is just precious.
"Oya, oya. Those glasses are quite delicate. Do be careful."
However, despite the fact that he slyly bullies you for fun, he is a very good manager.
He will always ensure you take your break on time, and that your employee meal is ordered far enough in advance that it is ready for you as soon as you sit down on your break.
And should any particularly rowdy clientele decide to bother you...
Then he will ensure they are dealt with <3
It is his favourite part of the night, after all. How he adores it when you hide behind him.
Jade ropes you into his sneaky work agendas too.
For example, he'll coach you into pushing the mushroom dishes to customers so that he can stop Azul from taking them off the menu.
Probably the least sinister smiles you've received from him are when he beams at you when you deliver a bunch of mushroom dish orders to the kitchen.
Jade will stand with the most innocent smile as Azul looks on in confusion through the order ledger and the sudden influx of mushroom cuisine orders, with you hidden behind Jade.
Azul: "Why are they tucked behind you like that?"
Jade: "They're tired. :) "
Considering the nature of your 'deal' with Azul, Jade's protection of you extends outside of the Lounge into your school life.
But that doesn't mean it is convenient, even if it is effective.
He terrifies you just as much as the people around you, after all.
However it has its perks.
The lunch line is infinitely easier when you have a 190cm eel ensuring that you don't get caught in the lunch crush.
He likes to tell you over lunch how his favourite food is octopus when Azul is sitting right there.
He'll then remark, with the most unassuming of smiles, how he hasn't tried stingray yet.
Funnily enough, you don't feel so hungry anymore.
Tumblr media
Floyd Leech
Oh dear.
This man terrorises you.
You're just so cute to him! Especially when you tremble and tear up when he spooks you.
He just wants to tuck you under his arm and keep you <3
Floyd is constantly on your heels when you are working. Whether he is spooking you or draping himself over you, he's always somehow impeding your work.
Azul is constantly scolding Floyd and tries his best to keep you separated, so that Floyd's behaviour does not bother you. Or effect profits.
Jade just looks on in amusement.
Despite the above, your relationship with Floyd isn't all bad.
You and Floyd take your breaks together, simply because he stops working when you do and throws himself over your lap when you sit down to rest.
He's fairly calmer then, passing the time by showing you pictures of clothes he is thinking of buying and asking your opinion on them.
You caused a few mood swings at first when you didn't give a good enough response, but after awhile you got comfortable enough to give him your honest opinion. That makes him happy!
He also shows you his basketball videos, even if most of them are just Ace getting taken out by one of his basketball throws.
He's definitely roped you in to going to practice with him one time. He thinks it would be funny watching you struggle to make the hoop.
Floyd is also the cause of one of your most terrifying incidents at NRC.
On one of your rare days off, you were taking a swim in the Octavinelle pool to relax and reacquaint yourself with the water, and Floyd snuck up on you and scared you.
And well...
You almost skewered him with your spinal blade.
You narrowly missed stabbing him right in the stomach. Even Floyd was shocked but the suddenness of it.
... Until the giddiest grin spread across his face and he started cackling.
You, on the other hand, started bawling your eyes out.
Floyd ended up carrying you to the Lounge because you wouldn't stop crying.
He sat you on a barstool whilst Jade prepared you a drink and Floyd went into the kitchen to steal you some ice cream.
Floyd then gushed to Jade about how cool you were when you almost stabbed him with your tail blade and how sharp it looked.
He looks freakishly delighted when he remarks that maybe next time you'll actually get him.
If you did, he'd probably wear it as a badge of honour and show it off to everyone shamelessly.
Meanwhile, Azul comes to check what all the noise is and pretends to be upset that the twins are giving out free refreshment, like he doesn't do that himself.

Daily Ray Fact:
The Blue Spotted Ribbontail Ray is one of the most abundant stingrays inhabiting Indo-Pacific reefs, the bluespotted ribbontail ray generally spends the day hidden alone inside caves or under coral ledges or other debris, often with only its tail showing. At night, small groups assemble and swim onto shallow sandy flats with the rising tide to feed.

Finally getting around to making a Kinito oc!!! He still needs a name and I’m working on a full sketch page, but he’s a Bluespotted Ribbontail Stingray!!! You can learn more about him under the cut!!!
Tumblr media
He doesn’t manifest hands like Kinito and the others do, so others usually help him open and hold things!! Jade would help engineer some gadgets to help him be a bit more independent though!!
He flaps his fins to stim, especially when he’s excited and is also usually mute but makes squeaks and clicks to communicate. He doesn’t speak unless he’s really really close to you!!
He’s very sensitive and easy to scare. He cries a lot, but especially when his feelings are hurt. He’ll sort of sink into himself and wrap around himself like a blanket until he either feels better or Kinito comes to help cheer him up.
He and Kinito eventually end up getting together but are friends first and slowly learn a lot about each other and gain each other’s trust <:)!!!
More coming soon, especially after I figure out a name!!! Feel free to ask me about him, I’d love to talk 👉👈!!!

Daily fish fact #637
Bluespotted ribbontail ray!
Tumblr media
It is similar to the blue-spotted stingray (Neotrygon kuhlii), but this species (Taeniura lymma) has more vibrant colours and more blue spots! They’re nocturnal predators, coming out from hiding in the night to seek prey hiding in the sand during high tide.

Video
Earlier this year, I went snorkeling on Fitzroy Island, off of Queensland, Australia and right by the Great Barrier Reef.
I saw so many cool marine species, and the highlight of that day was the bluespotted ribbontail ray chilling on the oceanfloor. I didn’t think they got this close to the beach!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m so annoyed that my iPhone camera quality is garbage, because this video nor the stills do the stingray any justice.
