@arcvmonth Day 18 D/D/D- Different Dimension Day!

Even though its a little late (because I wanted to color these lol) I wanted to talk about my Mermaid AU- concepted while I drew my big piece for Mermay this year! I was originally going to turn it into a series basing them on the En cards, but I didnt have time (maybe next year?)

This is a high fantasy AU, of course, and each of the stories happen around the same time-which Ill get into later. All of the Bracelet Girls, Dragon Boys and Zarc + Ray are in their 20's here, with romantic interactions between the expected couples (Fruit, Apple, FallenAngel, Predator, Genesis). All of the stories are unrelated but take place around the same time, with the the exception of the Genesis which takes several decades before.

Just slapping the word 'Mermaid' on a character and not basing them on a sea creature has never been an option for my autism brain, so I based the girls off of sea creatures I thought suited them!

Yuzu is based on a Betta fish- the only freshwater mermaid out of the five- mainly because I think theyre gorgeous with their lovely flowing tails, but also because theyre highly territorial, which I will get into later.

Rin-Rin is based off of one of my favorite sea creatures, the Lionfish. Bright and beautiful, but venomous and a ruthless predator. She's also Siren.

Ruri is based on a Parrotfish. Beautiful, iridescent scales and placid nature who live in coral reefs. Also, bird pun becuase I couldnt resist.

Serena is a Human-Mer hybrid whose based off an Angler fish. Scary creatures who use beautiful light not to illuminate their surroundings, but to draw in prey. She requires more oxygen than a normal mermaid, so like a mudfish, she can chill out near the surface of the sea and take in oxygen when she needs to.

Ray is based off of a Sea Angel, which is apparently a sea slug. It's pretty and I dont know much about it, which is the exact same thing I can say about my girl Ray.

Under the cut ill get into my thoughts for each of the AUs! Including a minific which kind of adds a little context to my piece from Mermay!

Ill go over all my ideas for the different storylines - marked by their ship- and at the end is minific! Sorry for any punctuation/spelling mistakes!

Genesisshipping:

Zarc is an apprentice boatsman on his first voyage on a big ship. After smashing into rocky bluffs, the boat he's on capsizes and falls into the ocean. Almost drowning, he is rescued at the brink of death by Ray, who takes him to an uninhabited island to bring him back to life. Over a year or so, the two fall in love and while Zarc does want to escape the island he beleives its futile and doesnt even try. Eventually a ship does come to rescue him, and he promises Ray that he'll make it back to the island one day to be with her.

After hes back on land, people ask him what happened, howd he survive, ect; he eventually lets slip that a mermaid saved him. This makes it around, and eventually wealthy prospectors hear. Entranced by money and power wished to him, he leads hunters to the island to capture Ray.

Thinking that hes back to start a life with her, Ray's shocked when other people come from the boat and try to capture her. Realising Zarc had sold her out, she escapes to the sea, never to be seen again. Realising the error of his ways, Zarc decides to stay on the island after the disgruntled hunters leave in an attempt to attone for his greed and to hopefully see Ray one more time.

Appleshipping:

Hugo had always heard tales about sirens in books and wanted to if they were real or not. After attempt of humours faliures to become part of an actual reputable ship crew, he falls in with some pirates who decide to take him out to the seas. On his maiden voyage, he is so nervous that he cant fall asleep on his first night. Thats when he hears it. A siren's song in the distance.

The rest of the crew asleep, he steals a rowboat to find the source of the singing. He finds it- the most beautiful girl hed ever seen, singing the most beautiful song hed ever heard. He falls head over heels for her at first sight.

While Rin just wanted a meal, she now has to put up with idiot pirate trying to woo her. She is severly displeased about it, and makes it known. Then she realises- this dude is a grade A idiot with the luck of god on his side and now has to live with a human taking up her favorite rock. Ridiculousness insues

FallenAngelShipping:

Ute grew up in a port town that had a great relationship with the fellow merfolk. He and Ruri grew up together, and eventually became a couple. One day, the village was raided by hunters, who both killed and captured the humans and merfolk, burning the town to the ground.

While hed somehow escaped from the raiders, he knows he has to break in to the enemy camp as they transport prisoners and set everyone free.

After weeks of planning and watching them from afar, he finds the perfect moment and storms the encampment, setting everyone free, including his best friend Shun and his lovely Ruri.

While they are displaced, remaining survivors help rebuild the city, and they try to rebuild their lives. Now with round the clock border security :)

Predatorshipping:

Joeri is a wealthy buisness man who found success selling various snake oils in his teens. Feeling bored of scamming people out of their cash, he goes to a beah town in an effort to refresh, regroup his thoughts, and figure out his next buisness move.

While walking a beach in the dead of night, he notices a glow coming from a little cave in the distance. Sneaking a peek, he notices Serena stting, resting, and his mind races. Mermaids are uncommon, but not unheard of but most people havent seen one, so what if he could show her off?

Practically smelling the money from the buisness opportunity, he approaches her. She startles, and draws a weapon on him. That night he tries to talk her down and using all of his sales knowledge and charisma, tries to get her to warm up to him.

While it ends up in faliure, the next night she is in the cave again. And he makes up his mind to convince her to join him, whether that be by convincing her with his words, or bribing her with anything he can get his hands on. He has a goal and wont stop until it's realised.

Fruitshipping:

Feeling wanderlust in his early teens, Yuya decides to dedicate his life to becoming an adventurer to see all the beautiful sights hes read about in his beloved father's old travel diaries. After about a decade of seeing what the continent has to offer, he takes a wrong turn (not the first time) and accidentally stumbles into a serene clearing blanketed in cherry tree blossoms nestled in between foothills. In awe, he explores the adorable little field, picking wild dasies as he goes, and spots a lake fed by mountains. As he investigates, he is jumpscared by a mermaid who warns him to leave immediately or face the consequences.

After a breif moment of shock, he starts to laugh. Yuzu is flabbergasted, as most humans would have fled at that point. He tells her that meeting a mermaid was always on his bucket list and that hes pleased to make her acquaintance, which leaves her even more shocked.

While she is standoffish at first, Yuya sets up camp near the water's edge to really drink in the scenery, subbornly telling an annoyed Yuzu that it was the best vantage point in the clearing.

While he'd oly planned to stay for a couple of days, as he talked to Yuzu- her sharing enchanting stories about the depths of the lake and the merfolk who lived there and in turn, her avidly listening to Yuya's travel stories- he decided to stay through the end of spring... and then summer... until eventually autumn's chill prompts him to eventually- begrudgingly- forces him to start packing up his temporary home.

Over the months the two talked and talked and became best friends. Through the wilting daisy chains they made, to the silly splash fights they shared on hot days, to almost sombre monitoring of deciduous leaves starting to fall as the lake theyd made memories in starts to slowly develop its winter shell, baring the aquatic from the terrestrial.

As they say their goodbyes, Yuya noticing Yuzu shivering slightly as she sits above the water, he promises her to come back in the spring with even more travel stories, handing her one of his earrings in a jesture of his vow. And she is overjoyed.

As they part ways, he catches her tightly gripping the blue crystal of his earring before she slips below the water, and he wishes that winter would just leave and never come back.

Over the winter, Yuya can't stop thinking of his time in the clearing. The curiosity that Yuzu would have for the camp meals he'd cook. The sparkle in her eye as he'd describe one of his adventures. Her concern over even the most miniscule of old wounds hed accrued over the years. Her witty remarks that never failed to get a laugh out of him. That no matter where he went, he'd always wonder what Yuzu would think if she'd been there with him.

As the weather started to turn from hail and snow to bright skies and sunshowers, he practically made a mad dash to the little clearing tucked away on the forgotten road near the foothills, hoping that the ice had melted in the area- if not for the whole pond, at least around the crude dock he'd put together to sit with Yuzu on, so close to where he'd set up camp.

As he approaced the sea of sakura, the blooming daisies, the grass rejuvenated after it winter hibernation, he noticed a figure waiting where she always was early in the mornings before he awoke, brushing her beautiful magenta tinged hair, facing toward the mountains in the distance.

He grinned and picked the prettiest of the wild daisies he could see on the bushes around him.

He was back home and couldn't be happier.

The Little MerQu (Word Game)

Fandom: Blackstar Theater Starless

Pairing: Qu x gn!Reader

Warning: None

Requested by: @choconanime

Prompt: Hello!💕 Thank you for your hard work may i request Qu with Gen!Mc. mermaid. Hairstyle. Love.

A/N: Hi! 🥰 I couldn't stop myself from using that title. 😂🙈

Word Count: 772

———————————————

This time you were going to catch the person red-handed. Though their intention wasn't bad, the thought of someone doing something to you while you slept disturbed you. Sitting on your favorite beach blanket, you scanned the small area for signs of motion.

Who could it be? As far as you knew, this area was off-limits to the public, and not many knew about it, which made it the perfect place to take an afternoon nap. Lying on the blanket, you stared at the clear blue skies. 'What a perfect day.' You fought to keep your eyes open, but eventually, you dozed off.

"They are here again."

'Is someone nearby?' You slowly opened your eyes but quickly shut them to shield them from the bright sky. 'What is that sound? Is someone dragging their body across the sand? Are they touching my hair? They...are touching-'

Your eyes shot open, and you sat up with a jolt before turning your head. "SO IT'S Y-"

His warm honey-colored eyes stared back at you in shock. His tan skin contrasted perfectly with his silver strands. His features were soft and refined, giving him an air of delicacy and elegance. His well-toned physique contrasted with his feminine features. The more your eyes traveled down his body, the more you thought you were dreaming.

'A merman?'

The purple scales on his betta fish tail shimmered in the sunlight; the thin layer of water coating the scale added an iridescent glow, drawing you in. With a shaking hand, you reached for his tail and gently grazed your fingertips across it. The merman curiously watched, his heart racing out of control the more you touched him.

"You are not afraid." His voice was like a melodic whisper, yet it was alluring.

He was right; you were afraid, but why? Mermaids were creatures of myth - they weren't supposed to exist, yet there was a merman in front of you, a handsome one too.

"I am sorry for waking you."

Without moving your gaze from his tail, you gently touched your hair. Once again, he decorated your hair with what you assumed to be sea shells, starfishes, and pearls. "Why?"

"Why...am I making your hair?" He asked. "Do you not like it?"

"Um...it's beautiful, but..." You didn't have the heart to tell him his actions could be considered creepy. His intentions were such, or at least you hoped. "Could you please tell me why you make my hair when I am asleep?"

"I assumed you would be afraid if I showed myself to you," he chuckled.

You shifted your eyes from his tail to his face and nodded, "That answers why you waited until I was asleep, but why make my hair?"

He averted his gaze, his cheeks turning crimson. "My answer may not make you happy..."

"I still want to hear it."

"Very well. I saw you here a few months back and felt drawn to you. I wished I could speak to you, but I didn't want to frighten you. Then one day, I overheard what you said..."

Tears escaped your eyes and fell into the water, disrupting your reflection. "Why can't I be like them? It's so unfair. No matter how much makeup I wear...no matter how many different hairstyles I try...no matter what diet I go on...I never feel pretty. I hate my appearance. I hate myself.'

"I couldn't understand why you said those words. I wanted to tell you that you are beautiful. Since I couldn't appear in front of you, I waited until you were asleep and made your hair. I thought maybe you would like one of the hairstyles and feel pretty," he gave a small smile. "But it seems like I failed."

Your lips parted as your shoulders tensed. You had to ask if you heard him correctly. "You think...I'm beautiful?"

"I do," he smiled. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"

Your bit the corner of your bottom lip and lowered your eyes to your lap. "(Y/n). W-What is your name?"

"Qu," he softly said.

"Qu..."

"Yes?" He playfully smiled.

"Thank you."

"My pleasure," the merman touched his fingers to his lips and chuckled, his heart doing flips in his chest. He wanted to tell you many things but wasn't sure if it was appropriate to do so in the first meeting, like how he was fond of you and had been since the first time he saw you; or how his fondness had slowly developed into love; most of all, in the world of merfolks, mermen were only permitted to touch the hair of their significant other.

Ello \(⁠*⁠꒪⁠ヮ⁠꒪⁠*⁠)\ 💙

[uhh idk if i'm using tumblr correctly-]

I wanted to ask,

If Desmond and his main ancestors or generally any Assassin's creed character [+anyone you want to add], were part marine creatures , what would it be?

[Since i am not tht creative and not really an expert and deeply hands on in Assassin's creed franchise]

I'm just interested in your and anyone's opinions really-

Plus since it's May and I just found out about the mermay challenge aaand I am currently havin the biggest art block ever [help me], maybe I could take somethin out of this idea and draw it :D

[cuz I could feel myself slowly becomin restless- srsly help me--]

[and i don't even know if you had answered this qns before. [sht, srry if you did alr]]

I haven’t exactly been asked about what marine creature would Desmond and the others would partly be before but I had been asked about a merman!Desmond before and my mind got away with me in this one

From there, there’s the selkie AU from @twitcherpated that brought to life this little Ibn-La'Ahad Selkie AU

Now, as for my thoughts on which marine creature they could partly be:

Desmond:

A part of me wants to say angel fish because he’s our angel (awwww) and also because angel fishes have bright colors. But, I know this might be a bit ‘wtf?’ but, how about an anglerfish? (and no, this is not an "I can be your angle..." joke) I know they have a bad rap for being, well, not really pretty, but if it’s a human top-fishy bottom deal, look at this photo of an angler fish and focus on the bottom half.

It’s a distinct look, for sure, which worked well with how ‘special’ Desmond is to the eyes of the Isus and the way its fin glows is a nice-ish callback to how the Reader glows in AC Valhalla. You can even make the latern-like antenna be part of his bottom part as some kind of tail.

If the angler fish is not to your liking, how about the Mariana Hadal Snailfish? They’re known to be strong enough to withstand lots of ‘abuse’ and they have wing-like fins as well (they don’t glide/fly though as they’re in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench).

Honestly, for me, marine animals that glow are a good match for Desmond. (Glowing marine animals in the deeper parts would also work well for the Isus and making Desmond be one of them would show his ‘deep’ connection with them)

Altaïr:

Altaïr’s probably the easiest to think about for me. Since his name doesn’t just mean eagle but ‘soaring/flying eagle’, it’s gotta be the flying fish (even if they just glide).

If you want him to have fuller wings though and don’t mind basing it on extinct animals, the Thoracopteridae is usually described like this.

Ezio:

Okay, let’s get this out of the way. Ezio would be one of the prettiest ones out there, like a beautifully patterned goby or, if you really want to make him fabulous, a betta fish and, honestly, any of those fishes would work. I am a sucker for koi though, especially a white and red patterned koi that would remind us of his mentor robes in Brotherhood.

Alternate suggestion would be a Leafy Seadragon because, goddamn, just imagine Ezio swimming like he’s sashaying with that kind of bottom. It’s definitely eyecatching.

Ratonhnhaké:ton:

Ratonhnhaké:ton would make an awesome orca. It’s one of the best predators in the ocean and their closeness with their fellow orcas will be a good show of how much Ratonhnhaké:ton treasure his people. An apex predator that deserves respect is definitely a good combination to a part-marine Ratonhnhaké:ton.

My alternate suggestion would be a Lionfish though. Mainly because it’s beautiful and metal af. They move with grace but a certain deadliness to them that reminds me of Ratonhnhaké:ton.

#so i’m basing the aquatic creatures mostly on their bottom half #because i am imagining they’re like mermen #i love how i gave each one two possible ideas #one that’s more ‘conventional’ and one that’s a bit ‘???’#then you have desmond’s choices which are either ‘wtf’ and ‘seriously teecup wtf????’#esama drew a cybermermaid!desmond a few weeks (months?) before based on a goldfish #and that worked really well too #ngl #i only learned about mermay challenge because of the merman desmond artworks here in tumblr XD #i hope this was helpful for your art block :)#even if it’s already been asked #i’d either try and find the post or maybe answer it differently if i get a new idea #so just asks away XD #ask and answer #assassin's creed #desmond miles #altaïr ibn la'ahad #ezio auditore #ratonhnhaké:ton #connor kenway #does this count as #teecup analyze more than necessary #or #headcanon: assassin's creed #idk i'll tag both #if it seems like there's quite a lot of aquarium fishes (sorta)#blame my childhood friend

if the avpol mermaid au was reversed, what kind of outfit would pirate avdol have and what fish would be merman polnareff's tail?

I really wanna draw Avdol as a pirate so I'll probably doodle him later! About Polnareff, idk why I immediately pictured him as a Betta fish, they look very flamboyant and a bit cocky, I think it suits Polnareff's personality haha (also the colors here match perfectly)

Too bad Betta fish are freshwater fish 🥲

jorge, howard, & my first guppies (bc i cant possibly do All the fish ive ever had)

[ID: three pixel drawings of fish. the first is a brown pleco sucking on the glass with blue gravel and colorful plants behind him. the second is a betta fish, mostly in shadow but with the red of his tail visible, swimming in front of a window with a tree outside. the third shows three guppies, two blue and yellow and one yellow with black spots, swimming in front of colorful plants.]

#digital #animals #i wasnt sure about the pic of howard i used but i really like it #he wasnt very photogenic so that was pretty much the only one i couldve used #i was gonna like fake the colors but the shadows are kinda fun

I think it’s about time for me to make a pinned post!

Hi there! I make cat drawings and sometimes bunny OCs too! I also REALLY love betta fish, so please send asks about betta care, colors/patterns, pictures of your bettas, or questions about mine!

Here’s my commission info :D

Please use he/him pronouns for me and call me Onion :) (Not my irl name, but anonymity is important!)

Here’s all my comics in order!!

Aaaand here’s my Artfight!

Some things to know about me:

- I draw almost exclusively with Google Drawings and have been doing so for about seven years now! If you ever need help with anything regarding Google Drawings, I can probably assist you.

- The colors in my art might look a bit... off? This is because I always have blue shade on. Basically what it does is make everything orangey for me, so it can be a bit hard to get the right colors.

- My only fandoms are Warriors and Pokemon, so if that’s what you want then you’re in luck!

My sideblogs are @google-drawings-warriors (alphabetical Warriors designs), @thewarrencomic (where I reblog my OC stuff), @stan-diesel-wc (where I reblog wc art from small artists), and @sakew-region (where I post about my Fakemon region).

I try to trigger tag stuff, but if I miss something then please let me know! All of my text posts should be tagged with “onion peels”.

Warriors characters I love/just find interesting: Flywhisker, Cloverfoot, Whitethroat, Diesel, Blackstar, Nightstar, Ravenpaw, Barley, Graypool, Squirrelflight, Crookedstar, Oakheart, Briarlight, Turtle Tail, Gray Wing, Flipclaw, Brambleberry

My favorite ships: Ravenbarley, Firesand, Brightcloud, Hollywillow, Violettree, Featherfern, Talljake, Fallingdappled (Falling Feather x Dappled Pelt), Grayturtle (Gray Wing x Turtle Tail), Crookedwillow

My current to-make list, which you may notice does not include the things that were on my to-make list a week ago. It’s a known problem lol - finish lemon armadillo (probably tomorrow? I either messed up my thumb or am allergic to something, but either way crocheting isn’t happening tonight) - a teddy bear but it’s an opossum (next after lemon armadillo. I have ideas and like everything but the head, ears, and tail patterns already made. I’m stealing them from my bunny pattern) - a betta fish? If I can decide on fabric color or colors and which fin configuration. There seem to be a lot of different betta fish fin options, but I pretty much know how I’d make one and it wouldn’t even be that difficult (probably) just a lot of top stitching - a penguin! Gotta admit I have no idea how I’d make one. Might do some sketches tomorrow once I figure out opossum face construction. Suggest your favorite kind of penguin for me to base a plushie off of for inspiration lol - a variety of tiny hedgehogs (kinda want to make a purple one?) - something else? Please send suggestions, I’d love to draw a bunch of plushie pattern options. I’m in a pattern designy kind of mood

#what to sew next?#I am undecided on the opossum's hands and feet #because they have bright pink very distinctive toes that stand out against the dark fur of their limbs #okay not like BRIGHT pink but still pink #and I caaaaaan do that? I can have toes attached #but they will be weird looking on a teddy bear shaped opossum #I think they'd look creepy #so I might just have no toes just simplified limbs like teddy bears do #buuuuut if I do that would it not look like an opossum?#like...are the weird opossum toes necessary to the opossum-ness in the teddy bear form?#these are questions I can't ask my dad and my brother #I mean I can but they just look at me like....are you okay?????#and the answer is yes I'm fine I just can't decide about opossum toe construction #which is apparently not as reassuring an answer as I think it is lol

Happy late birthday dude! I hope you enjoy this silly art of your OC's as betta fish!! (because I saw that one drawing and went feral over this idea)

Eranar: dragonscale halfmoon (the prettiest of the betta imo and therefore the pretty elf boi)

Varelo: elephant ear betta (a sweetie like he deserves the cutest betta- also they tend to be the sweeter ones from my experience)

Terelion: angry crowntail (they tend to be the most aggressive- and I'm 100% sure Terelion would do nothing but flare all the time)

(save for dar-ma. Then They wiggle and makes bubble nests for her)

Meneil: halfmoon plakat betta (they were originally the type used for fights(unfortunately) for their tiny tails and stronger stature which I think fits for your self insert :) Also the dots are wild marks! Meaning he's closer to the wild betta than 'domesticated'

Fish sticks: copper twintail with some crowntail in him (hence the ragged fins)- (copper is a rare coloration and very pretty! And of course twintails are adorable to me, and their heart shaped fins make it all more fitting for him)

(also sorry for Eranar being the only one colored- I wanted to color them all but I realized I couldn't do them justice and it was too late to erase Eranar's coloration )

#submission #THANK YOU SM I LOVE THEM ALL #eranar #varelo #terelion #fish sticks #meneil #forme

BNHA QUIRKS!!!

I'm organizing my notes for a character-insert story I'm writing and I felt like sharing them here!!! I think people would be interested in what I came up with.

FEEL FREE TO USE ANY OF THESE FOR YOUR OWN CHARACTERS!!

No credit needed. I made Flourish specifically with Shigaraki in mind because I know a lot of people would like to have a quirk complimentary to Decay so that Tomura can touch them safely.

and hey, self-shippers? I love you so much!! you're so awesome, pls send me some self-indulgent stuff sometime soon!!

also! Quirks that are present in my stories will be marked as IN-USE. this just means that what the quirk entails might change in the future.

FLOURISH - EMITTER (IN-USE)

touch-based quirk. complimentary to decay, rendering the user immune to decay. decay users are unaffected by flourish (cannot be healed). touching something with all five fingers heals/reverses any damage

i like the idea of decay and flourish canceling eachother out because they're complimentary quirks. shigaraki can touch you and??? you don't die?? and???? you touched shigaraki but he's not healing????? fun times

BOND - EMITTER(?) (IN-USE)

user has the ability to use a diminished version of someone's quirk if they share a strong bond with said person. Most commonly found in mutated individuals with animalistic features.

This isn't really a stand-alone quirk but more of an ability, but I still decided to include it because it has really specific requirements.

JACK OF ALL TRADES - EMITTER(?)

user can give themselves ANY quirk they desire (meaning that they can copy someone else's quirk, or create a new one entirely) this ability requires a lot of energy and while in-use, will tire the user out until the stop using the quirk or pass out. (think of it like charging your phone. eventually, the battery power will lower and you'll have to plug it in. Or you're one of those people who doesn't plug it in until it dies.) The more powerful the chosen quirk is, the longer the user will be out for. "OP" quirks like take more energy to replicate/use, and consequentially, will require a longer recovery period. Quirks like Overhaul or Decay will put the user into a comatose state. This quirk is literally just All For One Juniour Edition.

so basically like? all for one but fair. also the quirks aren't "saved" or anything, so if u want to use bakugou's explosion quirk, but ur already using tsuyu's froggy quirk to restrain something with your tongue, you'd have to stop using it and let go so you can use explosion instead.

NULLIFY - EMITTER

Touch-Based quirk. Touching someone with all five fingers will render them quirkless for 24 hours. Only works on one person at a time, and cannot be used on the same person twice in a row. Made with Shigaraki in mind.

i made this purely because i want to hold shigaraki's hand without turning into dust. also... imagine having to constantly remind yourself to keep ur pinky/middle finger off of whatever you touch. idk about you, but that's too much work for me. I'd rather just wear those gloves made for drawing tablets.

GRIM REAPER - EMITTER (IN-USE)

Touch-Based quirk. touching someone with all five fingers immediately kills them, allowing the user to harvest their soul (souls manifest as little cheeseball sized lights. they're all different colors, depending on who's soul it was.) souls can be eaten (they taste like gummi bears) whoever eats it has their body revitalized instantaneously, each and every individual cell replaced by a new and perfect copy. souls can only be captured in jars. they act like fireflies.

firefly rave... also this is literally decay but it only works on living things and also u get a snack. and a corpse. although idk i guess a corpse would count as a snack to someone. also if someone doesn't have a soul, they just die. lol

VAMPIRE - MUTANT TYPE

user is easily sunburnt, does not have a reflection, allergic to garlic (regardless of genetics) and cannot be killed unless the heart is damaged. User must drink a certain amount of blood regularly to avoid loss of inhibition (will attack nearest person to feed) and severe malnutrition, known as "bloodthirst."

honestly? this isn't really that beneficial... sunburns, no garlic bread, if you cant get enough blood you suffer and go apeshit... but I mean at least you've got circumstantial immortality.

HIGH ELF - MUTANT TYPE

user has pointed ears and is considerably taller than regular humans. naturally skilled archers, and have a strong connection to nature.

i couldn't help myself, i love DnD.

BETTA - MUTANT

fish subtype. user has fully-functional gills. The user's hair reflects the different kinds of tail types (plakat = short hair, crown tail = dreadlocs/separated strands, rose tail = long and flowy) and are naturally bright colors like red or blue. lethal close-combat skills and impressive speed. natural beauty is also a bonus

im surprised i'm not including this in my character insert story. it's my personal favorite so far. fishy!!!

WEREWOLF - TRANSFORMATION

exactly what it sounds like. full moons trigger the shift. user cannot control the shift. it's basically like periods except instead of bleeding out of your uterus, you turn into a wolf.

... yeah, i don't know what influenced this the most. the fact that i made vampires and felt obligated to also include werewolves, that i'm a furry, or that this gives me an excuse to push alpha beta omega dynamics onto bnha

GHOST RIDER - TRANSFORMATION

based on that one marvel comic series. when transformed, the user takes on the appearence of their skeletal structure engulfed in flames. the user is able to control flames and a vehicle/form of transport of their prefrence. when user establishes eye contact, the opponent will suffer the pain they have caused for others (if any.) cannot transform in direct sunlight.

i am incredibly ashamed to admit that it was only yesterday that i saw the 2007 ghost rider movie for the first time in my life. i fucking loved it. it was funny, freaky as hell, and so fucking awesome. i love ghost rider, i mean, cmon, like? that's literally what being a punk is about in a nutshell. skeletons. fire. leather jackets. metal spikes. chains. motorbikes. anti-heroes. also i really enjoyed the addition of genuine demon names. i got so excited when i recognized the name mephisopholes. the movie also gave me ACAB vibes so bonus points for that. and the little details like how johnny's fire turned blue whenever he focused on roxanne. god fuck it was a great movie i will be thinking about it for the next week or so. TL;DR THE 2007 GHOST RIDER MOVIE IS AWESOME I CANT BELIEVE I NEVER WATCHED IT. i always end up getting more attatched to the manga instead of the anime and this was no different.

P.S. lmk if you wanna know more about my character insert! i post a lot about him on my twitter account and i'm generally more active there anyways!!

Well.. I don’t know exactly where that idea came from. I was just imagining a scenario where a Mamba (an SF! Sans lamia bitty created by @vex-bittys) “falls in love” with the beauty and grace of a purple Betta fish and I imagined that such an animal would be great as a UL! Sans bitty… only I didn’t really like the combination Sf!SansxUL!Sans.

So I thought about replacing SF!Sans with HT!Sans… but I could only imagine Blood/Axe seeing the little fish as a quick snack. So the idea wasn’t working out in my head.

While I was imagining as a UL!Sans Betta would look like, I thought about the mixture of colors that it could have and somehow it turned into something that looked like the painting of a galaxy. From there it was a leap to turn Lust into Outer which immediately made me think of the adorable KillerxOuter drawings from @itsxroxannex and that was what followed.

(so I kind of know how I got here, but I swear I didn’t plan anything, just let the story come out word for word)

There is also a reference to Killer “adopting” a kitten that came from the drawings of @h0da and @rahofy-sketch.

I never thought of a story with these boys, or did I read more than a few drabbles with Killer or Outer (and I’m sure none with that particular pair).

Summary: Killer did not expect anything from that day/night, much less receive a gift from one of his “coworkers”.

Killer was sitting in his room at Nightmare Castle looking out the window, not that there was anything to look at. Outside the castle’s existence, there was only darkness surrounding the domains of the sticky skeleton, just like the monster itself.

No. This was not a good comparison. As dark, cruel and scary as Nightmare was, he was still “something”. The darkness outside was more like himself. Just a dark void, with nothing to offer or desire.

A knock on his door made him turn. Standing in the doorway was Cross, Nightmare’s newest minion, or rather, his new slave, not that Cross saw himself as either.

He stared at another version of him(one that was as “white and shiny” on the outside, but as stained and broken on the inside as everyone there) and imagined that he should be curious about the surprise visit.

Cross was not look for his other versions in the castle, in fact he rarely stayed in the shadowy castle, preferring to jump from AU to AU doing … whatever he had to do. So he wondered what he was doing there in his room .

Surely he hadn’t been there for a chat (even if between a crazy killer, a killer maddened by hunger and a sadistic megalomaniac, a murderer without feelings perhaps was the best option for a conversation … at least he wasn’t crazy) and if Nightmare wanted something to do with him, he would “summon” him and not send Cross like a errand boy.

Cross coughed and moved uneasily for be stared at in silence for so long. Killer just tilted his head, he might not be curious about what Cross was doing there, but he still remembered how to pretend to be.

Not that he was going to try too hard to fake a decent reaction. It wasn’t as if Cross didn’t know what he looked like, and he didn’t have to struggle to “please” or deceive him, so a simple gesture would do. Just a small mechanical movement, something your body did without your mind having to think too much… a conditioned response for the benefit of others and not for yourself.

-Uh… I… I… here!

Cross held out a transparent bag to him. The bag was stuffed and there was something dark about the size of a large apple floating inside. At that distance it was difficult to say what it was.

Killer wondered what he should do. He could ignore the other skeleton, but Cross had a volatile temperament, which could explode at any moment, and as much as he didn’t mind fighting, he figured Nightmare wouldn’t be happy if he ended up killing his new toy. Better to take whatever it was and get it over with.

He got up and walked over to Cross who just looked at him quickly before shifting his lights to the floor. There was a faint purple glow on his face and Killer quickly went over the feeling options he should have felt in that situation: embarrassment? Fun? Curiosity for sure. But since he didn’t feel them, he really couldn’t decide which one to express.

He held out his hand and Cross passed the bag to him. It was heavier than he expected and he held it up to see what it was. It was full of water and…

It took his mind a second to process what he was seeing. Was it… a fish? It kind of looked like a heap of blue algae floating like a drowner’s hair. He moved a little closer and the tail, if that was it, moved away with a flourish revealing the rest of the creature. A small skull attached to a tiny torso attached to a shiny ecto-tail. It was another version of them, but tiny and half attached to a fish (or some species of sea creature).

A tiny version of a Sans… something tickled his mind. There was a name for that, wasn’t there? Ah yes! A bitty! A miniature version of a monster that in many universes were considered pets. But shouldn’t they have legs?

He looked away from the creature and looked at Cross. Still without looking at him, he began to murmur.

-There was nothing useful in this world. Just… these little things… bittys. Nothing worth using… Error should end this… madness, soon.

It was almost difficult to understand the murmured words, especially when he partially sunk his face, hiding it in his robes.

Okay, so he went to an AU, but he didn’t find anything he could steal to “rebuild” his own destroyed universe. Apparently Nightmare had also found no use for it and had handed it over to Error to destroy it. Nothing new, but why the “gift”?

-And? - He lifted the bag to Cross. It’s okay to get a little souvenir, but why were giving it to him?

-Well, Nightmare killed your cat… I thought… there was nothing… feline there, and, well… that’s not quite a substitute! But maybe… you would like… it…

Cross finally answered looking at him. His speech going from shy to embarrassing and then to defensive and back for the embarrassed. Maybe because in the end he noticed the ridiculous thing he was talking about.

Killer tried to piece together this explanation with no apparent meaning.

A few weeks ago he had found a cat wandering around the castle, a thin, elusive little thing, most likely one of Ax’s “snacks”, and on a whim he picked it up. The cat stayed in his room and he just fed it mechanically, until one day he must have escaped and Killer found him dead at the feet of Nightmare

That meant nothing, he just let the animal stay there and fed it when it demanded it, not because he cared or anything, it was just another automatic reaction from his body, something he knew he should do, not what he wanted to do. And now Cross had gone to some bizarre AU and brought a small version of them to “not replace” the dead cat.

A part of his mind told him that he should laugh at “maybe he was going to like it” (or even more from the stupid notion that he might be offended by Cross’s attempt to replace the dead animal with another).

He knew it was difficult for people to understand that he didn’t feel anything (how could they when they were full of feelings? Even more so Cross, so full of pain , bitterness and hope), but he didn’t feel amused and pretending was a big effort to just tease Cross.

-Ok. - He replied before Cross continued trying to explain their motivations.

The skeleton looked at him suspiciously, looking for something in his face, which he certainly wouldn’t find. Cross shifted his weight from one foot to the other as the silence stretched on until it became too much for him, who just nodded (agreeing with what Killer had no idea,) and turned down the hall and disappeared into the shadows.

Killer stood still for a moment in front of the door, holding the bag up before lowering his arm and turning slowly. He stared at the interior of his room without really seeing it, thinking about what he should do now.

The most logical thing was to get rid of it… but how should do it? Should kill him? Throw it in the toilet (that’s what they did with dead fish, wasn’t it? Except he wasn’t dead yet, and he didn’t have a toilet).

He thought about dropping the bag on the floor. Perhaps the creature would die in the fall and it would be less of a problem. Or should he give it to Axe? It would certainly be of more use to Axe than to him.

He blinked slowly, returning to see the room. It was almost a copy of the room he had once in the Underground, only much more empty and clean. There was only the mattress, with no pillows or sheets, the broken lamp and the magical hurricane, now without trash in a corner. There was no dresser, garbage or socks lying around, much less an answer to your question.

Suddenly the hurricane jumped and moved to its mattress where it seemed to belch before sliding back into its corner. Perched in the middle of the mattress, already half filled with water, was an aquarium.

Killer shrugged at the strangeness and went over to the object. He tore the bag and let the bitty drain with the water into the container below. The creature fell with a “plop” and a protest. So the creature could speak, it was to be imagined.

He bent down to watch him.

Now that he was no longer squeezed into a bag he can see it much better. It was definitely a fish, although its fins were so wide and thin they looked like hair dancing in the water, moved almost as if they had a life of their own.

He had a vague memory of knowing what kind of fish it was, but he couldn’t remember and the effort in trying was a waste of time (even if time was something he had left over). He just remembered that it was something decorative.

And decorative he looked.

Its upper part was nothing special, smooth bones and round lights, both white, a Sans Classic like thousands of others scattered in the Multiverse. But your bottom? Oh! It was a separate show.

The ecto-body was a deep blue, in the low light of the room it looked almost black. Much darker than any magic he had ever seen in a Classic, with spots of a lighter shade, almost iridescent and full of tiny bright yellow points. Its tail and fins were long and looked so thin.

They were of the same dark blue tone, but as they approached the tips, they lightened and took on a more purplish hue. They were also splashed with yellow spots.

He thought that if he felt something he should be fascinated or even envious of something so beautiful.

The little skeleton was staring back at him through the glass, he didn’t seem to be afraid, and he even swam closer to the glass, touching with his tiny hands to the barrier and tilting his face to face him better.

He swam in a somewhat “nervous” way full of quick movements, with his fins moving as if they were floating in the water. The movement made the colors tremble and blend and Killer remembered photos in a book long seen, in another world, another life.

-Galaxies… - he spoke without thinking. The bitty swam in that agitated way to the surface, his skull breaking through the water. - Are you an Outer Sans?

He had never been to the Outer universe before (he was, after all, one of the few that Error “liked” and Nightmare hadn’t wanted to create a friction with the Multiverse Destroyer for it… yet). But he had heard reports about it and imagined that a pattern that resembled both pictures of the universe and galaxies should belong to a Sans from that universe.

-Hum… I’m a Sansy type and in my tank it said that I was a Starlaxy, it seems that I’m based on a Betta HalfMoon or something.

Betta… yes, that’s what these little fish were called. Small, showy little things… there was something else, something with puddles and fights, but he did not delve into the memory.

Starlaxy… Star+galaxy? It was a good description of its tail. Already Halfmoon didn’t say anything to him, but there were 3 spatial factors, it was enough for him to classify him as Outer (and if not, who cares?).

-Are you my new master? - the “little fish” asked.

Killer considered the question. Well… Cross had given it to him, he supposed it made him his. Even though “master” made him think of Nightmare and he couldn’t imagine giving orders to the bitty (or that the bitty could do anything useful for him). Owner, maybe it was more accurate… at least until Nightmare or Dust found it and destroyed it, or Axe found it and devoured it.

-You can say it like that… - The position was bothering him. He was supposed to get the aquarium out of bed, but it looked heavy and a useless effort. He mentally shrugged and lay on the floor beside the mattress facing the ceiling.

-And what’s your name?

Killer. - he replied without looking at him.

He thought how strange these bittie creatures were. The creature didn’t look scared of him. Maybe it was too stupid, or maybe the Outers were more like the Swap (or the bitties are) and had no sense of self-preservation. If they were like that, Error could end up “adopting” some of these little creatures before destroying their universe (and “losing” them somewhere in Anti-Void).

He wondered if he would see any of these universes, but he believed not. Nightmare was focusing on Cross and didn’t need him at the moment. What left him there, with nothing to do.

Well, he supposed that for a being that was fed by negative feelings, it was more interesting to be beside another being that he could feel than one that was just an empty vessel. Bonus point he thought. Feed on both the “victims” that Cross left behind, and Cross himself.

With nothing to do, all he had to do was wait and the only advantage of having no feelings or desire was that he did not feel bored or anxious.

-So… what’s mine?

Killer turned his head and faced the bitty who had rested his arms on the edge of the aquarium and stared at him with his head resting on his crossed arms, his tail floating lazily below him.

-Your what?

-My name. - It answered.

Was it some kind of prank?

-Starlaxy? - he tried. The other snorted looking at him with mild indignation.

-No! that’s the name of what I am. Not who I am.

When he got no response from Killer, he continued.

-You know… Bitty species, type Sansy … - he enunciated moving a one hand in the air - I need a proper name. You are my master, so you name me.

-Why don’t you name yourself? - He replied.

It made sense to name a dog or a cat, but a being who could think and communicate alone? Why didn’t you name yourself?

-Hum… well I’m a bitty… it’s tradition that the owner names us. - But he himself sounded a little uncertain of that.

-Starlaxy is fine.

Killer closed the orbits while the little fish moaned.

-I’m too lazy to think about something. - It was a standard answer, something he would say whenever asked in the past and didn’t have or didn’t want to answer, so it seemed like a good answer now. - If you don’t like, name yourself.

And turned around turning his back to the aquarium. Everything was silent and he had almost fallen asleep when Bitty spoke again.

-Outer.

Killer turned to face him again.

-That’s what you called me the first time. - The little fish replied with a sleepy smile.

-Outer is also just a “rating”. - He replied.

The then self-appointed Outer just shrugged before answering.

-Yeah, I’m also too lazy to think of anything better. - He winked before letting go and sinking back into the water. He swam to the bottom of the aquarium, where he crossed his arms and leaned his head on them, closing the orbits and seeming to fall asleep in a few seconds.

Killer watched him. The little bubbles that floated from his skull from time to time, his fins dancing softly around him, making the colors mix and the golden spots seem to blink like tiny stars. Those little things rocked him to sleep while he thought the little fish was really beaultiful.

He fell asleep with the image of that cheeky wink and the memory, long forgotten, of the feeling of his own smile.

***

I don’t know if there are betta type bitties (probably there are), but the one described here was imagined by me (both the appearance and the name) and I don’t get it from some bitty site.

I always imagined that Killer would be more difficult to write… but until it flowed very easily (and I can’t believe I wrote this and am posting it, all in one day!)

Comments, questions and criticisms are welcome and thank you for reading!
