Time for some leafy seadragon mermaids.

Available on Inprnt and in my Etsy shop!

[Image Description: A digital painting of two mermaids based on leafy seadragons. They float underwater facing each other, holding both hands with their faces close together. The mermaid on the right has her back mostly to the viewer. She is average-sized with light skin, short red hair, and a golden yellow tail. The other mermaid is slender and brown-skinned with long blue hair and a blue tail with purple accents. Her eyes are closed and she has a soft smile on her face as she leans towards her partner. /end ID]

leafy seadragons!

leafy seadragons are found off the southern and western coasts of australia!

they are extremely good at camouflage and can easily pretend to be a floating piece of seaweed

it is a fish which usually grows to be an average of 30cm long!

they eat small shrimp-like creatures called mysids, and each day leafy seadragons can eat thousands

leafy seadragons actually do not have any predators!

they’re very poor swimmers so they rely on their camouflage to protect them

they have a long snout to slurp up their food :)

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Leafy Seadragon: The name is derived from their appearance, with long leaf-like protrusions coming from all over the body that serve only as camouflage. The leafy seadragon propels itself utilizing a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent and difficult to see as they undulate minutely to move the creature sedately through the water, completing the illusion of floating seaweed. Popularly known as "leafies", they are the marine emblem of the state of South Australia and a focus for local marine conservation.

Okay basing this off the fact Eclipse can travel waters, what if Yn tells him they can't live in one cold and he just takes them to the warmer waters?

Heheh seahorse yn

Oh my gosh oh my gosh hhhhghghghhghg new Y/N just dropped

This would be one setting where it's not in the Arctic but Eclipse has left those waters to drift about, and look what he happens to find! A lovely little siren, hiding in the kelp.

A leafy sea dragon that can camouflage and even change colors to hide themselves in seaweed and the kelp formations they live amongst. Speed is not their forte. They also have a prehensile tail that can coil around or grasp things. They would live in deeper waters and have beautiful dark brown, yellow, and greenish hues to their leaf-like appendages over their tail with small, transparent dorsal and pectoral fins!

Every time Eclipse glides through the warm waters of seagrass, searching like a hungry shark, Y/N clings tightly to kelp with wide, terrified eyes. They watch him drift closer, hoping against hope that their tail colors have shifted enough to blend them into invisibility. But, somehow, he always snatches them out of the protection of the underwater forest and meadows. Y/N cannot run away, they simply lack the agility and speed, so they're stuck once Eclipse has his hands on them.

Y/N gets used to Eclipse's grabbiness—it's strange to interact with an apex predator that doesn't want to eat them (at least not right away.) They will relax enough to let Eclipse pull them along, his pace so much faster, and even coil their tail around him when Eclipse decides to stretch out on the seagrass for cuddles.

Y/N's leafy appendages are a great source of awe and admiration for Eclipse, and Y/N has never seen such a black and white fish like him before, especially not in their home. Eclipse loves Y/N's slow and drawn-out singing. Y/N doesn't often sing, especially when he's taking hold of them, but he'll keep his hands off just to let them echo a few notes while weaving in between the long kelp strands. He'll follow, much less graceful in the watery forest, but he never loses sight of them.

#ghrhghghhrhrrhrh new y/n #i'm not normal #y/n grows to accept that once eclipse grabs them he has them for as long as he likes—which grows to be more fond and gentle view #once y/n sees he's not hungry for leafy sea dragon sirens #seadragon!reader #orca!eclipse #cailaventog #apex polarity

A merman?! Yup! It has been ages since I’ve drawn a guy.

This illustration was really fun, it started in a totally different direction but once I had the lightbulb moment to draw my favourite seahorse (The Leafy Seadragon) it all started coming together. Leafy Seadragons live off the Australian coast so of course I had to go with a dashing Indigenous Australian man as the human-inspiration.

It shook you to your core. Your head snaps up at the sound of the explosion.

Then it was the message.

Your hearts picked up one by one as you stumble up from where you sat in front of the builder block.

You rush over to where the explosion was. You couldn't lose Sunny too, they just got outside. This wasn't fair.

Tears build up in your eyes as you run, even as your legs ache and your lungs were sore. You're panting and your throat burned and it sucks everything sucks!

You stumble over branches and sticks, you fall and tumble but you clamber up each time.

This wasn't fair. This wasn't fair.

She can't take Sunny yet.
