Merformer femme reader (more like a siren) trying to lure MTMTE Soundwave to her because she has a crush on him?

You had been watching him from afar for quite some time already. This Mer, Soundwave as they called him... He was perfect mate material.

Not only was he big and strong, but he was also caring, always looking after these smaller Mers of his pod and making sure to chase away any possible dangers.

You could tell that when the mating season, followed by nesting season would come, he would be there for you, protecting you and your eggs and then the future pups that would hatch from those eggs of yours.

You bet that the pups that came from you and him would have the best chances to survive, grow and find future mates.

Now you only needed to lure him in.

You inhaled and let out the loudest and most beautiful sound you could muster from your lungs.

The whole pod turned to look where the gorgeous sound came from and they saw you, resting on a rock and singing this love song of yours.

The smaller Mers with Soundwave awed and slowly started to swim toward you, but you didn't want them, you wanted their guardian.

You looked and to your surprise, you saw Soundwave just staring at you from the distance.

You tried not to show your disappointment and instead, you abandoned your spot by the rock and swam towards the blue Mer.

You started to swim around him while singing, showing off your beautiful fins and colors. You were displaying yourself shamelessly, and while you were at it, you put more feelings in your voice and sang louder.

You swore you would sing until you would lose your voice if that was what it took to charm him!

You started to pump your eager body against his and each time your would touch, you would peep in submission.

Finally, Soundwave seemed to react, as he raised his hand and you stilled and peeped quietly.

"Courtship display recognized." He said with the most monotone voice you had ever heard, but that didn't chase you away.

No, you peeped a little louder and he started to swim around you instead.

"Initiating a dance of approval." He said and you blushed as you watched him swim around you and then he started singing!

Little did you know, he was like you. His voice didn't sound so monotone anymore when he sang, and it made the blood in your veins burn.

Finally, Soundwave stopped and the two of you introduced yourselves to each other. You smiled and flicked your tail bashfully, "Would you like to, uh, grab some crabs and talk over food?"

Soundwave was about to reply, but the smaller Mers from earlier who had turned quiet at the sight of you two dancing for each other, decided to suddenly speak.

"Can we get some too?" The two of them asked and you blinked, realizing that they were just big pups.

Soundwave looked at you and you smiled, "I don't mind."

He nodded, "I'm... Glad."

(I apologize if someone already had this idea)

So Akechi's Metaverse attire gives him a bird like mask and his codename is "Crow".

I propose two funny ShuAke scenarios....

Did you know that birds have a special mating ritual? Where they dance?

So 1: Akechi embracing his codename and performing a Crow mating dance to woo AkiRen

Or----

Akiren/Joker performing a literal Crow dance in front of Akechi for either pure funzies just to see his reaction if they are just Friends/Frienemies

Or the Romance route, Joker having feelings for Akechi, does a dance because "I will confess my feelings in your language!"

And Akechi is just---

"What the hell are you doing?"

The rest of the Phantom Thieves are equally bewildered, frozen, just silently in the background while watching their leader Unapologetically make a fool of himself, dancing in the middle of what was originally a battle.

Visited the Sage Grouse again on Sunday. I think my friend Corey enjoyed it as much as I did. Just one of the many places we visited.

today I have learned that in fact I wear pink and purple and bows and ribbons and I have dyed my hair because my genetic predisposition is having me engage in a complex ritual dance to woo a boy to my nest because I am in fact a bird

March 2024: Melanoma & Approaching Spring

Back in December of 2023, I had a biopsy performed on a dark spot on my nose that had suddenly appeared in November. It turned out to be melanoma. Here is a pic of the healed biopsy scar:

Bandaged up after the Mohs surgery to remove the melanoma. The wound was about the size of a quarter & there were some places where cartilage was visible. I have photos of the raw wound but decided to spare the Internet that grody image... it has enough already:

Post reconstructive plastic surgery bandages. They had to take skin from my shoulder & cartilage from my ear to do the reconstruction. The stitches are out now but it will be weeks before the bandage on my nose can come off permanently:

That's enough about that. Here, have some Spring portents.

Backyard garden:

Not as sharp an image as I'd like but this little guy was putting on a mating dance for a girl was in between those flower pots:

Front yard:

This is what I call our front flower bed's peninsula:

This new planting of daffodils is a bit sparse but it is coming in nicely considering this is their first Spring here. The foliage on the irises looks really good too. We've been moving those irises around the property for years trying to find a spot where they are happy. I think we might have found it:

Warning for spiders!

I wanted to show a video of a dancing spider called "Australian peacock spider." I was reminded of it when seeing the gif of a dancing stick bug :3

The big dance

Inspired, no doubt, by the urgent rhythms of spring, the local turkeys have begun their breeding dance. 

The mature toms puff out their chests, strut like runway models and gobble their love songs The jakes (immature males) observe the action from a respectful distance, knowing they don’t have a chance at the real action but picking up pointers on the ways of courtship.

Meanwhile, the females do their best not to notice. Typically hens will lay one egg per day over a two-week period. Their poults will be hatch by mid-summer.

WIP Wednesday - O14

Look who remembered to use the queue function for the first time ever!!! The beginning of the next O14 fic which is a sequel to Mating Dance.

Osiris woke as he usually did: curled on his right side, Lightless. His right arm was numb from sleeping on it most of the night and his right hip hurt as well. With a deep breathe, he groaned as he rolled slowly onto his back and stared blankly at the ceiling.  

The only difference this morning was that he could not tell what time it was based on the slant of light beams in the bedroom. He was used to sleeping well past noon, but today he was greeted with an amorphous grey light through the curtains which left him blind to the time. After a moment of focus, he could hear the soft patter of rain against the bedroom windows. Beyond that, he heard clattering in the kitchen, a tell-tale sign that Saint was home, as he was everyday when Osiris woke up, regardless of the time. 

A smile tugged at his lips unwillingly. Rainy days reminded him of simpler times. Of tea and cinnamon cookies, confessions and first kisses. The memories dissipated like steam once Saint cracked open the bedroom door and stuck his head inside.

“Are you awake, beloved?” The Exo asked softly as he stepped into the room, a steaming teacup on a saucer in his hand. It was the same question, everyday. Osiris was always awake, of course. At this point he was convinced Saint had installed some sort of sensor in their bedroom to alert him the second Osiris stirred. Or perhaps Saint had Geppetto monitor him while he slept. 

Osiris inhaled sharply as he once again felt Sagira’s absence in his chest, as though a vital organ had been removed. He masked the sound with a wince as he slowly sat up as Saint approached.

“Indeed, I am,” Osiris replied drily as he pushed his pillow back against the headboard and leaned against it, all while scouting to the side to allow Saint to sit on the edge of the bed. His body moved of its own accord at this point, as this ritual was ingrained in his psyche after so many months of it. 

Saint dutifully on the edge of the bed and was about to hand Osiris the saucer and teacup when he paused. 

“What is wrong with your right hand?” 

Osiris raised his grey brows in question. Then he looked down and realized he had reached for the saucer with his left hand. He grimaced as he dropped his left hand into his lap. Damn Saint and his keen observational skills that bordered on neurotic when it came to the once Warlock. If sitting at his bedside keeping vigil while Osiris was unconscious for the better part of a year was not enough to make Saint hyper aware of any change in Osiris’s physiology, then caring for him day in and day out since he woke definitely had. There was no use in lying, though Osiris doubted he could if he tried.

A male sharp-tailed grouse performs its mating dance, known as “drumming” because it involves the birds tapping their feet rapidly against the ground while fanning out their wings and tail.
