LIFECYCLE OF A SEA SIREN

Eggs: Eggs are often lain in batches and left in the care of 'Schoalwatchers'. They are often lain in caves for their own protection. In some places, they are also harvested as a type of caviar. Some sirens will purposefully sell their eggs to gain human currency. Some will steal other sirens eggs to sell. It is a very dividing subject in Siren society. There are also false Shoalwatchers, who will use the trusted name and sell or eat the eggs entrusted to them.

Birth to 5 years/ "Fry": Between the time of birth and 5 years, sirens are known as 'fry', and need constant overseeing. They are small and at their weakest during this time. Care is to be taken when handling the fry, as while they are soft, their horns are sharp and hard. Especially their egg horn. 

If one comes across a lone fry, the best thing to do is keep it with you and take care of it yourself. It will not survive on its own.

10 Years/"Shoaling": At this stage in life, they are in the beginner stages of self sufficiency and can get some food on their own. They are very inquisitive and curious about the world around them. They often wrap themselves in seaweed and don their respective shoals colors in order to make identification easy. They also start to grow display fins and gain the ability to fluctuate bioluminescent spots on their tail. Other then that, they are akin to a regular child at this stage.

16 Years: Sirens of this age are nearing full independence. At this time, a shoal numbers around 40 to 80 young sirens.  Their egg horn has long since fallen off, sometimes kept in a collection by the Shoalwatchers as a memento. Sirens at this age often get killed by their unwillingness to stick to the shoal and wander too far. They might be nearing adulthood, but they are still naïve. Titled are also selected around this age, should the Wavemother see potential in them.

Adult: An adult siren is a force to be reckoned with. Many a sailor has fallen to sirens. At this stage in life, they are fully capable of using their voice to lure individuals to their deaths. Some gather in siren communities along various reefs, others go it alone. Some sirens keep companions or pets, such as cleaner shrimp or pilot fish.  Sirens don't regularly hunt one another, but they will turn to cannibalism if they see it as worth the trouble. The largest cause of siren death in adulthood is hunters and pirates.

VoidTouched: The most unlucky of sirens to ever swim the seas. Warped and painfully twisted by the Voidswimmer himself, they are turned into monstrosities made to torment their own kind. Very few have ever regained themselves from being turned into a Voidswimmer. The most known being The Siren of the Eclipse. Eclipse was a god among sirenkind, and had won much of the Wavemothers favor, so much so that Voidswimmer became jealous, and twisted him into the very first Voidtouched. Sometimes, eggs will hatch as voidtouched, and devour the rest of their siblings. These Void’fry’ often do not make it into adulthood.

QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME

Mermay day 7 (kinda): Breakfast

It is a perfectly gloomy morning in Siren Port, just how a certain monster likes it. This au (siren port au) does center around the ocean and some siren bois but this particular picture is just Nootmare haveing breakfast and reading on his beach. I think it counts as mermay tho

The Siren bois in question: Yes the Murder time trio are called Hook, Line, and Sinker in this au.

And Nightmare. Who The trio never seem to stop bothering. Please my man just wants to write in peace. Nightmare screaming at the sky: CAN'T MY LIFE JUST BE NORMAL! Ocean: lol no. have three weird sea creatures that are a constant annoyance to you. :D

like, i do love cahir when he's introduced, and we get to know him and his character, but also, if i was geralt, and i heard this from my little girl:

i would also beat this guy's ass into the ground and want to kill him so so badly. like this is ciri's nightmare but this is also a parent's worst nightmare

#in this moment it took all of geralt's strength to not just get up and walk directly to strangle this guy with his bare hands #'what did he do to me' ohhhhhhhhhh my goooooddd geralt heard kill bill sirens #but in the moment he had to be like 'shhh it's ok ciri you're safe now' #when she hugs him and buries her face you can see his face and it's just silent horror and rage #also like what actually happened wasn't even that much better but we don't talk about that (jk we should talk about it) #the elbow-high diaries #book: blood of elves #excerpt #AND THEN. IN TOWER OF THE SWALLOW. CIRI HAS BECOME THE NIGHTMARE!!! FOR SUCH A 12 Y.O. GIRL AS SHE ONCE WAS!!

So, when a shark gets rotated with their tail pointing upwards, they enter a state of shock and can’t move for a few minutes.

I think Dream would know this and use it when him and Killer first meet.

Just, rotate the shark siren, poke at him a little bit, then giggle and swim away before Killer is able to move again.

Do I have an obsession with this Au? Yes, I do

Am I going to stop any time soon? No, no I will not

Why? Cause this Au is perfect and I love it

Why did I make them “humans”? Cause I suck at drawing skeleton bone and I don’t have my anatomy book rn

Applebloomer1 this is your fault <3 (go check out Call of the Abyss)

(Credit for the au goes to @skumhuu )

it is crazy that ozai got 2 gay kids, but one of them is a theatre gay and the other is an anti- blue hair and pronouns redditor lesbian

i mean the real reason is bc they're not just ozai's kids. zuko was influenced by ursa, while azula was influenced by ozai. so that's why they're like that.

#mommas boy wfb theater kid drama queen vs daddys girl sirens blaring explosions blood and viscera nightmares etc. #lesboinnit #asks #azula #zuko #azula&ozai #ursa&zuko #<– idk if this post rly deserves to be in those tags. but it feels wrong not to tag it. i appreciate thoroughness too much. alas

Now that Seven Seas has launched Siren, their audio imprint, I am really hoping we get MXTX audiobooks sometime soon

#svsss #always keeping up on Seven Seas publishing news bc i think theyre a fascinating publishing house and its been very cool to see them grow #mxtx #mdzs #tgcf #seven seas entertainment #seven seas siren #siren #audiobooks #i have so many friends who ask if SVSSS has an audiobook when i recomend it and i am like 😭😭😭 no but i wish #im sure the international audio rights must be a nightmare but 👉👈 still

Y’know, I like the loading screens in BS1, with the Art Deco lining and the quotes, but BS2’s really grew on me. You had an old radio, covered with barnacles, playing music. The game version of elevator music.
