Shrimply Yours~
Tumblr media
In which you invoke your shrimp privileges to cheer Floyd up.
Floyd x GN Reader! Enjoy, shrimpies!!~
—————
“Y’know Floyd, I’d say you’re the shrimp, not me.”
Maybe you really did have a death-by-squeezing wish. Or maybe your plot-armor protection had finally worn off. The eel in question lifted his head slowly at your words and side-eyed you, his golden eye glinting ominously in the Mostro Lounge kitchen’s light.
You’d been washing the dishes after asking Azul for a job in exchange for a little extra madol on the side. For the most part, your day had been as peaceful as it could’ve (the life of a magicless prefect was always maniacal), until you heard arguing from outside the kitchen. You all but jumped when Floyd slammed the door open and wordlessly stalked to the stove, and you spotted Azul walking off shaking his head to himself. Floyd shoved pan on the heat and began frying something, completely ignoring your presence. Was it even possible to fry chicken so aggressively?
In any case, Floyd seemed a little more volatile than usual at the moment, even considering it was him. The other students who’d been in the kitchen with you before had scuttled out before Floyd could snap at them too. But in any case, you knew that Floyd’s mood flipped faster than Crowley leaving all his work to you. So, you thought you’d try to lighten the mood.
At your words, Floyd slowly brought his head up from his deep-frying, golden-and-olive colored eyes zeroing in on you, baring his sharp, shiny teeth at you in a scowl. And in that split second, you suddenly remembered that Floyd was, in fact, a mer-eel. Moray, specifically. A predator. A predator that probably ate shrimpies like you. Who was now looking at you predatorily.
“What did ya just say, shrimpy?” His pupils were practically pin-pricks, and for a moment you swore you could hear the Jaws theme song in your head. You could remember, time and time again, your friends and upperclassmen telling you not to engage Floyd when he was in one of his moods. Even up until now, you’d never been on the awful end of his anger, especially alone. But you weren’t called beast-tamer for nothing, damn it, and maybe that title could extend to taming angry Floyd’s too. An angry Floyd that was still your friend.
“I said, you’re the shrimp, not me.” You maintained eye-contact with him, almost challenging him, ‘come at me, bro.’ You tried to keep a straight face, although you were deflating rapidly by the second because by Sevens this was so stupid but-
“Because you’re shrimply amazing.”
One second passed. Two. Three.
Then Floyd broke into a wide, sharp-toothed grin. He surged towards you, completely forgetting the frying food. “D’awww, SHRIMPY!!!”
He swooped behind you, wrapping his arms around you and picking you up. Your legs flailed around and now your arms were locked in as Floyd spun around the kitchen haphazardly with you in his arms. “Shrimpy knows just how to cheer me up! I knew this is why I kept you around!” He laughed cheerily, bobbing you up and down.
“FLOYD!” You cried, “PUT ME DOWN-“ the kitchen swirled crazily around you, as Floyd babbled some song or other cheerfully. Thankfully he’d stopped spinning, but began shaking you side to side while humming, “Shrimpy’s so brave n’ nice, all the other guppies left when they saw me but only Shrimpy stayed!”
He started pouting, and squished his cheek into yours. “Azul was bein’ mean to me, making me work now. Just ‘cause I roughed up a few customers doesn’t mean it was my fault! They shoulda been nice to me~”
Even though you were basically suspended in the air by him, you smiled at Floyd’s words. “Glad I could help Floyd, that was so mean of Azul,” you consoled him, hoping he’d put you down. He bent over until your feet were safely on the sweet, sweet ground, but didn’t let you go from his arms. The two of you swayed together, basking in each other’s company in the subpar lighting of the kitchen, until you frowned.
“…Hey, is something burning?”
“Ah shit, I burned the chicken.”

Hear me out:
Rich Mob Boss Lounge Owner!Azul falling in love with the pretty little lounge singer with the loveliest and sweetest voice he's ever heard.
He’s so enthralled with you! Even though he could have anyone he wanted for the right price, he’s fallen for sweet, humble you. You’re always so cordial when you greet him with a smile (although that could just be because he’s constantly flanked by two terrifyingly strong bodyguards and he himself has enough money to make you disappear forever…), and your voice is just the prettiest melody he’s ever heard. Not only does your presence bring in lots of customers, all of them equally taken with your beautiful voice and siren songs, you’re also under contract with him, which means that no matter how many other powerful and wealthy businessmen come asking for you you’re not allowed to leave for another establishment, lest you break you contract and have two moray eels hunting you down. :)
Azul always sends you home with leftovers from the night shifts, insisting you take as much as you’d like. He wants you to be content and well-fed when you’re here, so please do accept his offers! There aren’t any strings attached, or so he tells you when you question his generosity. It’s no secret he’s a dangerous head of some criminal organization. You’ve heard the rumors and seen people escorted to his office by the twins. But Azul always steers you away from the unsafe dealings that take place in his office. You need only smile and sing for him; don’t bother poking your nose where it doesn��t belong, otherwise you might find yourself ensnared in a terrible net. It’s better to remain blissfully ignorant, is it not? Azul certainly thinks so when he admires you from afar, watching his star angelfish shine on the stage. You’re beautiful, and you’re all his. <3

TW: Cheating Eels, No one is a good person, Moray eels need a warning, Yuu's perspective, ambiguous Yuu, toxic romance, female reader (Leech twins x Reader)
I suggest listening to the song while reading, great experience if I might say ♡
Tumblr media
Imagine....
Bubblegum Bitch ♡
The first time she took a step into Night Raven College, it was like seeing the embodiment of Aphrodite.
Beauty, romance, love, lust
Got a figure like a pin-up,
got a figure like a doll.
Don't care if you think I'm dumb, I don't care at all
Naturally, everyone was curious. Not to mention, a wide variety.
Her long heeled-boots would click and clack down the hallway, perfectly in rhyme. Comparable to the entrancing call of a siren, catching everyone's attention.
"Oh, goodness, shouldn't you move out the way lest you want to actually get ran over?"
The first time I saw her face to face, was when she chided Ace for blocking the way into a classroom.
"Oh— uh.. my bad! Haha..." Ace awkwardly scratched the back of his head as he gave a half-assed bow to her. It doesn't seem like she noticed when she instantly went in after Ace finally moved.
After she was gone from sight, a meager 18 feet away. Ace quickly came to me and Deuce, "Damn, so the new transfer is actually a girl!? You're telling me she was the one who threw Leona across the room at orientation two days ago?"
"Looks like it. It also seems like she's more capable than what the rumors said." Deuce let out a quick laugh, and glanced over to Ace
"Hehe, Ace was redder than a tomato I've ever seen!" Grim snickered behind my arms
"Hah? I think you were just seeing things!" inevitably Ace's ears and face became the exact same blush of red
But I couldn't help but block the sounds near me out while I stared at the entrance to Mr. Trein's classroom. The front row of seats on the right, in the middle was her, Y/n L/n. I also couldn't help but be memorized by her composure, and presence.
"Hey, you comin', Yuu?" Ace nudged me on the shoulder
......
"Oh yeah! Of course I will."
——
Oh dear diary,
I met a boy.
Who made my dull heart,
light up with joy
I was preoccupied by my journal in Alchemy class
Mr. Crewel clearly stated for us to write down the 5 steps to test if a mushroom is lethal, or not.. But I ended up drawing the two tall, and long legged men I've just seen today in the Cafeteria.
"Hehe, Shrimpy, ya'know that ain't the correct formula right?"
"Rather... b3+(8c +∆7) , would be the correct answer."
I shivered at the sudden coldness as I looked up from where the shadows on my shoulders came from.
The Moray brothers... Aka the people that almost kept my friends in captive if I hadn't intruded on their little shady business. "Uhh.. Well, thanks?"
They made me feel like an outright pitiful, and stupid person. But if it's a free answer to an unknown equation that I didn't know how to solve, especially from the Leech twins, chance is it's correct.
"If you ever feel any need to ask for anymore help in the future, we would like to recommend our house warden, Azul Ashengrotto." Jade smoothly cut in
"He's a real genius, got the answers to everything." Floyd twirled my eraser in between his fingers. A show of boredom, perhaps?
I clicked my tongue and pushed both of them away from me. "Please, you two. I've spent way more than I wanted to with both of your shenanigans."
"We were just suggesting, shrimpyy~"
"sometimes, I don't get why I like both of you.."
"What was that?" Floyd suddenly popped up real close to my face and leaned in, a mere few inches in between us
"Now, now, Floyd, you're probably making them uncomfortable."
The pumping of my heart could probably have been heard miles away as I stared into the differing orbs of both of Floyd's eyes. I opened my mouth slowly, just to close it again. I took the option to just nod in agreement to Jade.
"At last, we've wasted time enough, it's time to go back Floyd."
In the end, I was left with the exact same red, pinkish blush that Ace had once donned on his face.
——
I'm miss sugar pink,
liquor, liquor lips.
Hit me with your sweet love,
steal me with a kiss.
The chimes of the radio in the corner calmed me down somewhat. But, seeing.. the transfer talk to them worsened my bleeding heart.
I sipped, and sipped on my drink. I couldn't even taste the flavor, I was using it to relieve my stress and add some little comfort.
In the Mostro Lounge— where I came every Wednesday with my friends, the exception being Thursday today and also being all alone– was the transfer sitting on one of the chairs by the countertop getting all chummy with Floyd and Jade
"Oh please! Rid yourself of that thought now, haha!"
I think I want your, your American tan
Oh, oh, oh
my eyes narrowed even deeper, as I stared at her. What is she plotting?
"Hehe~ does Angelfish really think that we would let it go that easily?" Floyd giggled, as he poked her cheek playfully.
Angelfish??...........
I think you're gonna be my biggest fan
"Truly, she doesn't think that now right?" Jade's long pinky finger slightly grazed hers while cleaning the countertop with the small rag.
Was it on purpose or on accident?
.......
I sat on my bed. The pit of my stomach was full of dread, apprehension, fear. It was silent, dead silent. Exactly midnight, 0:00A.M
The only sounds that accompanied me in this dead night was Grim's grumbling snores. It provided no comfort at all, in truth, his snores completely crossed my mind
"Augh..."
I quickly grab my neck to cease the vomit creeping up, and sprinted all the way to the restroom.
Fortunately, I made it to the restroom without doubling over and making a mess out of the floor. I crouched down in front of the toilet.
Oh dear diary,
we fell apart.
Welcome to the life of Electra Heart.
My vision became blurry, hot drops of tears fled down my eyes, falling into the toilet.
Just like back then, she ruined it again.. Why can't I ever have my happily ever after? Why does she have to steal everything from me? Why won't she just leave me alone?
I'll chew you up and, I'll spit you out.
"W-Why won't she just give it a break...?" I slam my fist down to the wooden floor board beneath me as more tears crawled down my eyes.
"...eh, Yuu..? Are you okay?"
I looked to the doorway, to find Grim in the crack of the door.
——
"Why can't you just let go of the past already!?" I dabbed my finger into her chest, and I made it extra forceful to give her a slight grimace.
"Unfortunately, I don't understand what you're getting at."
I was behind the school, in a dark, small confined space where not much sun hit. I thought it was the perfect place to talk to the girl in question without any interruptions.
As I stare into her eyes. It reminded me of how they looked in the past. The exact same dull color, as if she's empty. There was absolutely no shine in them, nothing that can hint at her true feelings right now.
"Oh, you know damn well what I'm getting at. Don't play dumb." I hissed.
I'm miss sugar pink.
Liquor, liquor lips
"All those times, when we were younger. Dumber. Naive. Why can't you just let go?"
She was quiet. Just like back then. Her head was lowered. Just like back then. She didn't say anything. Just like back then. It was as if she couldn't figure out her own words. Just like back then.
"You stole him away from me. You played with me like I was one of your overpriced dolls. You made me think I was your best friend, just to target me and steal the boy closest to my heart."
She rises her head, something that was unfamiliar to her back then. Her eyes told me everything. How she regrets being friends with me. How she regrets letting me take him. How she regrets everything she's done for me.
"Did you not ever think that I would take revenge?" She took one step towards me.
"You'll feel what I felt back then."
She yanked my hair and pushed me down to the ground.
"Agh!"
Straight to number one...
I looked up, desperately, and opened my mouth to let out a call for help before a hand that grasped my neck stopped me.
"Heeeeehhh? What does Shrimpy think they're doing right now?" A similar sounding high-pitch voice echoes next to my ear, "It won't be that easy to escape, ya'know."
"Everything comes with consequences, dear Prefect." Both twins stood on each side of me, just like back at the cafeteria. But with more sinister reasons.
"N-no.. wait.. you have to be joking." It took all my strength to muster out that sentence. In disbelief, I looked up at Y/n.
"Maybe you should've considered your actions before. Oh well, I can't help you now." Y/n grinned. She looked almost insane with how her smile was growing second by second.
The most scariest thing is how different she turned out to be. The Y/n I knew wouldn't have hurt a fly. But as people grow older, they start becoming someone way more different than the person that used to play in mud, chase butterflies, play with water, and make flower crowns.
"If you think you could hurt Angelfish, and get away with it.. You're dead wrong, Shrimpy."
I'm miss sugar pink.
Liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love,
steal me with a kiss
"P-please believe me, i-i.. didn't do anything wrong!" I slowly start crawling away from those two, those three.
As I did so, tears started bleeding out my eyes, just like what was happening to my heart right at this moment.
"Oh, but you did? I don't understand how hard it is to just accept your wrongdoings and pay it back." Jade breathes, disappointed.
"I-I-I'm sorry, I apologize... I crossed a line that wasn't mine.!"
I could barely see the growing scowls on both twins' faces with my blurry eyesight.
It seemed like they were waiting for a call.
"I don't forgive you."
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch.
Bonus:
"Now that we've completed our side of the contract, it is your turn to complete yours, Y/n-san." Jade turned to me.
I smile and nodded. I wiped away the small glop of blood on my cheek with my handkerchief. "Thank you, both of you."
"C'moooon, Angelfish! If you really want to thank us, fulfilling your side of the contract wouldn't be that hard." Floyd grabbed me by my arms, and used enough force to make me fall into his chest
"Yes, we do deserve a reward from all our hard work." Jade let out a deep chuckle, slowly walking towards me.
"Please, go ahead. Y/n-san."
Both twins crouched to my height, expectingly.
Smooch ♡
Tumblr media
Lowkey disappointed in this one.... But fuck it. I have many other chances to feed y'all better food. Y'all can get a taste of this trashy one!

Fanfic writer asks: 16, 26, and 34.
16. A fic you're very proud of?
Can I cheat a bit and choose a few of the fics I'm particularly proud of?
5 Times The Doctor Talked About River Song With Graham (+1 Time The Fam Finally Met Her)
This one's the story where I have Thirteen opening up to Graham about her wife. Plus my Library fix-it where I managed to give the Doctor and River a happy ending.
She's Come Undone and Set Free
My current WIP. Where I deal with Elena and Caroline's trauma and give them a support system (with each other and also with Bonnie and Rebekah).
But also there's some Elejah and Klaroline.
And I torture the Salvatores.
the ones that seek and find (six years in the relationship of harry and luna)
An alternate version of canon that's basically the same except Harry met Luna in second year and the way their relationship might have developed through the next six years.
5 Times Monica and Her Mom Have Difficult Conversations About Auntie Carol (+1 Time She Plans A Parent Trap With Her Skrull Friend)
The Danbeau fic from Monica's POV which starts sad with the day Carol went missing and ends funny with Monica deciding to parent trap her mom and Auntie Carol.
Morai's Call To Hope
This is another WIP which is giving me lots and lots of guilt because I really am proud of it even though I haven't updated it in quite a while (but I'm planning to go back to it after She's Come Undone).
Basically, it's the story where pre-worst decision Anakin travels forward in time to save Ahsoka from Darth Vader and proceeds to be hit over the head with the consequences of all his WORST DECISIONS until he learns things like: don't trust Palpatine, and you should have hugged Snips more, and there's more people at stake than just your wife.
Seriously, I am going back to this fic. I've got the entire thing plotted out.
26. Do you write for yourself or for the readers?
Both? I mean when the idea for a fic strikes I NEED to write it, I want to see how it turns out and what happens and it helps dealing with all the feelings that the show and the characters have given me. But I also really really want to see what other people think of it, if they like it. If it's any good.
34: Favourite comment you ever received?
I love all of the comments I've ever received... that sounds like a very political answer but it's really true.
But. I have received some extra EXTRA special comments on occasion too which have just literally blown up my heart (I will use 'literally' incorrectly if I want to).
It would be way too complicated to go find all of them. But basically, it's the comments that tell me stuff like that the person read the story multiple times, or the person loved it so much they read it even though they were supposed to be doing homework/sleeping/working, or they didn't even ship it before but they do now, or they hadn't watched the show before they read the fic but my story made them go watch the show. Or it's a comment from someone whose fics I've read and adored and I go into a slight meltdown.
So, yeah, those are my favorite kind of comments I guess.

Slay Mayas has recently released a new studio work: "Confessional"
Slay Mayas is an artist who is all about creating music that speaks to the heart and soul of her audience. She has developed a distinctive sound, which seamlessly blurs the lines between a wide range of aesthetics. Her music could be describe as a stark and powerful combination of styles as diverse as neo-soul, R&B and Alt-Pop, but the artist has ignited her sound with the spark of a unique personality. Her most recent studio work, "Confessional", is actually a really great example of that. This compelling song touches on the idea that things aren't always as they seem. It's about how everything can appear perfect on the surface, but in reality, we are all struggling with something
Tumblr media
It is not always easy to bring so much emotion and thoughtfulness in a song, but Slay Mayas isn’t afraid to sing from her heart. For this reason, "Confessional" feels like a perfect opportunity for her to create a very meaningful and deep impact with the audience. The sound of this track has a hauntingly beautiful sound that lingers in your mind long after you've stopped listening. The gentle intro melody is accompanied by a jazzy guitar riff, creating a mellow yet soothing atmosphere. Slay’s vocals are beautifully melodic and catchy, but the lyrics are also very connected to the meaning of the song. The overall effect of the song is both melancholic and cathartic, making for a powerful piece of music that speaks to the heart and soul.
Tumblr media
Slay's creative vision went beyond just creating a music video for the song "My Confession". She took it a step further and produced a short film that added a deeper layer to the already profound concept that makes the song so special. The film captured the emotional journey of the lyrics and the idea of the meaning behind the song in a way that a regular music video alone could not have achieved. The short film was received with great appreciation by the audience, as shown by the many thoughtful comments on the film via Youtube!
"Confessional" stands out as a perfect introduction to Slay’s vision, and it is an insightful testament to what it means to make music that’s excitingly modern, yet also incredibly warm and timeless. So, who is Slay Mayas? At the core of it all, she is an incredibly passionate artist who loves to share deeply meaningful music with people! If you really want to get to know her vision, the best thing to do is to let the music tell you the rest of the story!
Find out more about Slay Mayas, and do not miss out on "Confessional". This release is currently available on some of the best digital streaming services.
https://tr.ee/uGi5PYMduu
We also had the opportunity to ask Slay a few questions: keep reading for more!
I love how you manage to render this new single so personal and organic. Does the melody come first or did you come up with the lyrics first?
First off thanks so much for the wonderful compliment and loving my new single confessional. For this song In particular, the beat came first. The beat is produced by my producer Morais Rui . He sent me the beat , and I immediately felt drawn to the track. Then came the lyrics
Do you perform live? If so, do you feel more comfortable on a stage or within the walls of the recording studio?
Yes I perform live frequently. To be honest, I feel comfy in both environments , singing in the recording studio, and live. As long as I can sing , I’m happy .
If you could only pick one song to make a “first impression,” which would it be and why?
If I could pick a song from my catalog, to make my first impression, it would def be its my time. My song I released last summer, which is also on all streaming platforms. I love the magical vibe it gives, and it really takes me somewhere every time I listen to it. I feel the same way I feel when I hear my favorite artist songs
What does it take to be “innovative” in music?
To be innovative in music , I’d say just do you . Find your lane, and ride it well. Just be yourself, the people will love you for that
Do you have any upcoming release or tour coming up?
Well I just released confessional, so my fans have that. Not gonna lie I’ve already planned the next single drop after confessional for a late July early august release. As far as concessional I plan on releasing a visualizer, and music video , so stay tuned. I’ll be touring soon too!
What is the best way for fans to connect with you online?
The best way for fans to connect with me online would be on Instagram @slaymayas , Facebook @slaymayas
My mailing list . They can join by going to my website , slaymayas.com. I’m very personable and always reply back
You can also view the short film at the bottom of this post!

*vibrates to an unholy degree* playitplayitplayi-yoooooo Sofffttt you have no idea how much it'd make my life rn if you knew about the prable and those silly gay British men. I mean I've written 9.2 k words about them now. Sarcastic summary of my fic is : Stanley wins the stupid bitch award and turns into a plant. Everything else would be spoilers. For both things. I ordered an IHOP burger today. It was good. Did you know they made those? Or do you have those where you live? Or only whataburgers as far as the eye can see. I have literally no frame of reference. I am texasless. And I hope I haven't been bugging you with the @ posting. I wanted to show you the baby stingrays and tell you crypto people are leaving your state. Let me know if I should stop. And stingrays are basically flat sharks by lineage so they are the most pettable sharks as well. Flat friends that have an eternal flat fuck Friday curse upon them. And weird eyes. I swear if anyone redesigns Big Boy at all the nose/eye thing is the only thing I wanna see. No conventionally attractive bs. Just make the dude the freaky shark man he was anatomically meant to be. I'm biased. I like my fishes to look like my fishes. I love me some spooky fish anatomy. Like stargazers. They are awesome. They're just... Like that and I respect them greatly for it. I'd give them a pet but I don't need to be poisoned. I could pet a flounder though. I'm sure they'd rather I don't though. At least I CAN pet the moray eels. If nobody else has got my back I know eels do. Song? I've got a few.... The Devil You Know by Blues Saraceno.
I will eventually I swear!!!! Soon my friend
I've had iHop, but not their burgers :0 I mostly just get pancakes. There's a number of Whataburgers, there's 2-3 in my area, but Texas is big enough that they're spread pretty evenly.
You haven't been bugging me!! Actually it's possible that tumblr hasn't been sending me notifs w/ them... I'll have to check later
Yesss flat fuck friday friends......... I love stingrays a ton. Big pancakes. They actually only attack if they feel threatened, so if you go to a place w/ a touch pool that has them you should be fine
Oh my god stargazers are wonderful. The name sounds so pretty but really they're so goofy-looking
I recommend Yumeyume by Deco*27!! Just a fun cute Miku song. It also was the intro to a Project Mirai game, so it has an equally cute animation to go with it!

Hi-hi! Can I request headcanons of Octavinele with a reader who is a representative of their species (octopus for Azul and moray for Jade and Floyd), but he spent his whole life among humans and knows nothing about the world of underwater inhabitants. Therefore boys decide to teach him about the life of the merfolk in exchange for the fact that reader will teach them about life in the human world (I was VERY inspired by the song "Strangers like me" from "Tarzan"). Thank you ~
Awww, this scenario is pretty cute! 🥺❤ ALSO OMG ANONNIE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REMINDING ME THIS SONG AND JUST TARZAN IN GENERAL!!! I love Tarzan and any scene where Jane teaches him about normal human life is so dksjkssnksnsnsnan I'M IN LOVEEEE 😭💖
Triggers: none
Azul, Jade and Floyd's teaching their male s/o who is a representative of their species about merfolk life and vice versa
Tumblr media
When you first told him that you were also the same species as him, his mouth was agape. He wasn't prepared for the second shock that you also never had an experience of living at the coral sea, which is supposed to be your homeland. Does he wonder if that's the case then what happened in your life that caused you to stay on land? Did your parents have an interspecies relationship and they decided to stay on land? Did something happen to your parents and they forced you all to stay on land for safety? Are your at least biological parents even alive? He has so many questions but he doubts that he has that many answers. For now, he'll let those questions spit out of his mouth for another day.
When you voiced out your curiosity about sea life, an idea immediately came to his mind. He scooted super close to you and excitedly tried to initiate a contract with you. The deal wasn't obnoxious or anything ridiculous at all so you don't have any problems with accepting it. Plus, why would he even hurt his boyfriend just to gain something? He's not a sociopath. You two discussed and scheduled the date of what you called "Coral Sea school trip". Don't worry, he also thinks that this is very unnecessary as well but he doesn't want to take the risk of the twins ruining the moment or anyone from the school seeing his true form.
His eyes shined when you turned into your octopus form, you're very beautiful, more beautiful than he could ever be he thought to himself silently. As it was your first time going in on water in your supposedly real form, you will be slower and clumsy, so he holds your hand to prevent anything bad from happening. This little activity went smoothly. He teaches what it's like to be a very rare species in the sea and the more he speaks, the more he envied you as you didn't need to face the potentially horrible life you could've gone through. He teaches the baby steps and anything that doesn't make much noise as he does not want to attract attention. 
When it's time you have to teach him more about human life, he's very invested. Especially if you talk about anything business-related. You also make your lessons slow since he deserves it, he did go slow on you during the Coral Sea school trip. He would ask so many questions, you might just get tired from all of it. He might even ask more questions after that day. Before you know it, he's scheduling another Coral Sea tour, he's planning to teach you how to hunt and he's expecting you to teach him more about business topics even if you don't own one.

"Oya, is that so?" My, oh my. Isn't that interesting. Day by day, you always manage to captivate Jade with your unpredictability and your sudden bomb drops of news. He's a very curious man so he'll ask you many questions like how did you find out your real form? Did your parents decide that they will live on land for reasons or did you run away from them at such a young age you completely forgot about life at the Coral Sea? If that's the case, then that's hilarious. He'll be telling you facts and how his life was back in his hometown, telling you how different it was here when it comes to getting food, the food chain, the little ways to survive there. Now that you thought about it, it kinda makes sense now as to why they're so smart and unpredictable as they're born and living in a rather unpredictable and dangerous environment in general.
The more he talked about life at the Coral Sea, the more you got fascinated. He could see your beautiful eyes sparkling and that made his eyes narrow, he was pleased with this reaction. He asked if you were interested in maybe visiting there and seeing what's there to offer? Maybe you could teach him too about human life if you want. He says if you want but it's a must in this or else..he will just be upset. He's also curious about the land life as well to the point he made a club about exploring the wilderness and collecting mushrooms. You said yes and he's very delighted to hear that. You both will visit the place together when you two have a lot of leisure time. So when you two do finally have free time, he called you right away to come to the wall of mirrors.
Surprise, surprise, he's already there, neat looking and everything as always. Since he knows that you will have struggles to swim as fast as his pace so he gently holds your hand as he leads you to the mirror. When you changed your form, you looked mesmerizing. His eyes were wide for a few seconds before going back to his soft smile, complimenting your eel form as you told him to stop the teasing. He's put a lot of lessons in one day but of course, he would be gentle because he has common sense and he doesn't want to harm you in any way. He had a thought to make you meet his parents but scrapped it as it might be too much for your first day. He takes you to historic buildings and then to the "city". While the place does feel intimidating, you felt a bit safer as Jade's with you. 
When it's time for the human life lessons, he has more questions than Azul as his questions are in so many categories but most of them are questions related to nature. You two decided to place this little private event in club time. You two hiked as you answered his little questions, it was amusing as he sounded like a five years old child. He would pick up an item he has never seen before and asked what it is if you know. As he also studied a lot about human life already before meeting you, he might accidentally educate you too in the meantime, he chuckled if he does to mock you in a lovingly matter. If you haven't joined his club, he advises you to do so as he hopes for more of these life lessons.  
Tumblr media
Floyd gives a very loud "hm?" To your confession. You've never lived in the ocean before? That's weird, especially when you're the same species as him. He wouldn't ask that many questions, not like he has many questions in his mind in the first place. His very first question would be just "Why and then that's pretty much it, he'll go back to the conversation you two were having. It's not like he's disinterested, it's pretty interesting it's just that whatever you guys talk is more important even if it's just a talk about parkour or whatever. It seems that you need to initiate the conversation about his life at the Coral Sea and he's rather delighted that you're interested in whatever he's going back then so he goes on a full story from his family to how they met Azul in detail.
You don't know how happy he is when you're fully focused on his words. Other people usually would stare into the clouds or directly tell him to stop talking so his mood is suddenly more bright than it already is. You kept asking questions about the difference between land and sea life, his opinions and such he proposed an idea, why not find out together by going to the sea? You were excited and made the mistake of saying "I cannot wait" because..he also cannot wait! He's in a good mood right now, why not just go there? Who cares about his job!? He's not in the mood for that but in the mood to go back to his hometown so let's do just that!! Besides, you don't want it postponed because of his foul mood, don't you?
Your eel form makes him very happy. He's circling you like some sort of cult ritual to check you out. He's hugging you, jolly, and surprised that his species are very squishy. Unfortunately, you are dating Floyd so you should be expecting that he doesn't go gentle or do these baby steps. He would go immediately to his unique ways of hunting for food, the extreme sports he has an interest in, and anything that's just risky in general. He will whine when you're slower than him or can't keep up with these intense lessons but of course, will give in to your complaints because he doubts he can do anything about your weaker stamina. Yet.
When it comes to human life lessons, he will always say irritating things like "I already know this" or "this isn't interesting" so be careful in what topics you will bring up. The subjects that usually perk up his ears are sports-related things or anything that requires a lot of physical activity. Fashion also gets his head up, especially about shoes. He will ask a multitude of questions about the things mentioned above because you know, it piques his interest. Maybe some human version of pranks so he can do it to his unfortunate victims, mostly Riddle. If you manage to interest him for the entire time, he might want to do this again but maybe more sea lesson times than land?  
Tumblr media
Lmao sorry for the very slow updates lately. I have been physically sick and have no motivation to write lately so expect updates to be rather slow! Sorry about that!!..

Personal Story
Birthday Suit-up Chapter 1
Happy Birthday, Floyd Leech
-Octavinelle Dorm - Birthday Party Venue-
NRC School Newspaper Special Edition Interview with the Birthday Boy ~Floyd Edition~
> —Happy Birthday.
Floyd: Oh, you came to wish us well, too, Shrimpy. Thanks~
Please tell us how you feel after celebrating.
Floyd: It was real lively and suuuuuuper fun. We’ve had parties at our parents’ house, but it was never this boisterous. I liked how this one wasn’t so stiff n’ stuffy.
—I’ve heard that you always have sweets in your room; is that true?
Floyd: Huh? Isn’t it obvious, Shrimpy? Even if you eat dinner, dontcha get hungry before bed? It’s ‘cause both me n’ Jade are still growing.
—What are your favorite sweets?
Floyd: Mmm, it kinda depends on my mood that day…… A while back I used to really like peppermint candy. A week ago it was melon soda-flavored gummies…… and yesterday it was almond biscotti. I think chewiness matters more than flavor when it comes to the stuff I like. I also like stuff I can only find on land. If you find some rare treats, lemme know will ya, Shrimpy?
I will. Semi-related— what’s your favorite food?
Floyd: That would be~...... takoyaki! Oh, do you know what takoyaki is? Eh, you don’t know, Shrimpy? I didn’t expect the people at school to know, but you’re like a walking dictionary, aren’t ya? Just the other day, after the Mostro Lounge closed, me n’ Jade got together with some other Octavinelle guys and ate some. They’re pretty hard to flip when you’re making them, but I’ve done it so many times I’m reallyyyy good at it now. Also, even though it’s called takoyaki, if you use other ingredients for the filling, you’ll never get bored of it.
What kinds of ingredients have you tried?
Floyd: First was shrimp and cheese! Then sausages, then oysters....... Tomato, broccoli, shoots, fresh cream, chocolate, anchovies, potato salad, and konjac......
You’ve sure tried a lot of things.
Floyd: Yeah, I have. In the end, it turns into a game of who can make one with the weirdest combination…… They all turn out so bad it’s funny! I ate everything properly ‘cause Azul got mad that we made all that gross food. Next time, I’ll invite you too, Shrimpy. It’s a promise.
Birthday Suit-up Chapter 2
—You often leave your collar open; do you have difficulty keeping it closed?
Floyd: I wouldn’t say it’s difficult, just annoying. Just ‘cause I’m good at squeezing people, doesn’t mean I like being squeezed, ya’know? When I first got on land, I didn’t like clothes either. It felt like there was seaweed clinging to my body all the time. And on top of that, you gotta wash your clothes every time you wear them, right? I wondered why humans would bother with such a troublesome thing. But now I like picking out my clothes. Being able to wear lotsa different colors is fun. Shrimpy, did you know? Even if it’s a flashy color on land, it’ll look dark under the sea. Besides, with stuff like clothes, shoes, accessories…… It’s fun to get all dressed up on land. But I get in trouble when I buy a bunch of stuff and load it all up in the room. ‘Cause Jade cleans the room, we got a lot of empty space, so I asked him if I could use it for my stuff, but he cut down my request with a single, “No.” Ahhhh. I wonder if I can use another dorm room for storage.
Is there anything you like to collect?
Floyd: Eh~? Well, Jade likes collecting plants, and Azul likes collecting coins, but…… I tried collecting stuff, but I got bored of it…… Oh, I guess there’s that. I don’t really collect them, but I did buy stuff with moray eels on them.
What kinds of things did you buy?
Floyd: A T-shirt with a loose sketch of one, and a mascot keychain with a goofy face. Because there’s a legend that says the Sea Witch has super-competent moray eels as henchmen, in the sea eels have a kinda rough image attached to them. They’re carnivorous fish, after all. But it’s really weird how moray eel merch sold on land is strangely cute. I wonder if that’s how eels appear to humans. Anyway, I gave the T-shirt I bought to Jade and he happily put it on. Aha. But Azul said, “Don’t you dare go out wearing that.” Even though it’s soooooo cute, isn’t he so mean~?
Birthday Suit-Up Chapter 3
—Which do you prefer - your human form or your merman form?
Floyd: When I first got into my human form, I didn’t know how to move my tail fin- er, legs- and my body felt so heavy…… “I swear I’m gonna turn back into a merman and jump into the sea right now,” is what I was thinking. But lately I’ve been thinking this form isn’t so bad. There are only fish and merfolk in the Coral Sea, but there are lotsa different types of people in the school. So it’s not boring at all. Also…… it’s fun being on land ‘cause I can do stuff like play basketball and dance. Recently, I’ve gotten suuuuper into parkour.
What’s parkour?
Floyd: Oh, you don’t know? It’s when you do stuff like kick off of handrails and walls or climb buildings…… It’s a sport where you head for a goal while keeping your movement as fluid as possible even if there are obstacles.
It sounds difficult.
Floyd: I guess I’ve never really thought of it as easy or hard. I’ve always liked doing obstacle races since I was a kid.
You have obstacle races under the sea……?
Floyd: Yeah. The goal is to swim through a sunken ship on a fixed route. The inside of the sunken ships are broken all over, which makes it complicated to get around since there’s lots of stuff that gets in the way while you’re swimming. You gotta avoid obstacles with minimal movement so you don’t lose your speed while swimming. Then, the one who reaches the goal first wins! ……See, it’s kinda like parkour, right? That’s why I like it. I’m happy I learned to do something new, and it’s fun ‘cause it’s like swimming on land. There’s no set way to avoid stuff or head to a goal, so I guess you could say it’s really…… free? I hate when there’s stupid stiff rules...... Oh, that reminds me, there was a day a while back where I overslept, and when I got to class through a window using parkour, the professor got suuuuuper mad at me. I tried real hard not to be late, so shouldn’t I get praised instead? Next time I’ll try not to get caught. Aha.
Thank you very much for sharing so much with us. And happy birthday, again.

As the sun rose red in the new morning sky, the captain told the crew of the lustrous Lilac Lark to tie themselves to their hammocks tonight. No one was to be on deck once the sky turned dark, and no one was to be left untied.
Colis was concerned to say the least. Stopping the ship in the middle of the night? What if there were rough waters? How on earth would they get their bearings from the stars? It was more than foolish- it was like mooring yourself on an island known for hurricanes during the season!
Looking around, he could see the others complaining too. Their mouths stretched in their loud complaints as they crossed their arms and got back to work. The day would be long if they had to be sure they were safe for the nightfall. Double, even triple checking that every rope was secure and every weak point of the ship was patched.
The crew sang merry songs that swam in the air like golden morays, bright and fast and fierce. They tapped their feet or clapped their hands if such limbs were free, and by the rhythm they did their tasks in unison.
A dark haired woman turned to Colis. Smile-y Lily, who was a bright flower in her own right, but never as dainty as one. When Lily first came onto the ship, she was paler than her namesake's petals, but mighty fierce with a knife. She more than demanded the captain let her onto the ship, and she'd been a huge help ever since.
She tapped Colis on the shoulder, "Oi, Collie, did you get what the Captain said?"
"I did! What did you think?"
"Not too sure what to think," she paused, her face turning sour, "I don't like it, but I trust the captain. He's never steered us wrong."
Colis smiled, "Crabs."
"Okay, yes, he did steer us into a lagoon full of crabs that got onto the ship and started having babies, but that was an accident. At least, it better have been!" Lily chuckled, waving goodbye and heaving up her bucket again.
The daylight was long. The sun lazily dragged its way across cloudless, summer sky, and burned the very sweat off of their foreheads. Their loose undershirts stuck tight their backs no matter how many times they pulled the soaked fabric off their back.
As their tanned skin got darker, and more freckles became obvious on their faces, more uncertainty sprouted. Normally the captain is very open; why won't he tell us more? Why are we trying ourselves up? Why at night?
Colis wasn't a talkative person by nature- and it was hard to talk pleasantries while firing cannons- so he didn't mention these queries. Sammy, the person checking the stock count, gave Colis a concerned nod. It was nice to know someone else felt uneasy too, even if it was Sammy. They could be a right skiver sometimes. They said they skived on gender too.
The sky was turning an ombre of yellows, blues, and purples when Martha pulled Colis to the side to talk. Being the navigator for the ship, Martha was highly respected. Her father was a well known map maker back on land (and a well known drinker), but never taught her anything. What she knows, she knows by her own right, and by the stars, she's the best navigator anyone's ever seen.
She bought the lantern in her hand up to face height, "Colis. Don't tie yourself up tonight."
"Why? I don't understand. Why is everyone else doing it? Why does no one know what's going on-"
She clenched her remaining hand on top of his, and her face pulled into a frown.
"I can't tell you. I want to, but I can't. I shouldn't even be telling you this. The captain warned me not to," she sighed, "Look. Just make sure everyone is secure, and stay up tonight. Someone else can do your tasks tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"No tying. Stay awake. Make sure everyone else is secure. Thank you, navigator." He gave a grim look, but said nothing of it.
"Yeah, yeah, have a good night, Colis." And her lantern swayed left and right as she went back to her quarters.
When Colis got back to where he was sleeping, the others were already being tied to their hammocks. It was an arduous task: the swaying making it difficult to tie strong enough knots without accidentally tossing the people out. Eventually, it was managed, and Colis tied the last man in and settled down for a long night.
Time went by. First, Colis drew in the sketchbook he'd stolen last time the crew were on land and the sticks of charcoal from the last fire. He drew fierce waves, knights with long swords and sturdy shields, the cafe he'd wanted to own before he started his life at sea.
Next, he put his head against the hull, feeling the thrashes of the waves erupt onto the impenetrable side. He could imagine in it his head. Blue darker than twilight sapphires, reflecting the brilliant light of the moon; several years had passed since his first night on the sea, but Colis could never get over the beauty of it. He could never get over the harshness of it either. The sea was a lover like nightshade a sweet berry.
The air grew heavy, and it felt incredibly loud.
Thrashing bodies stretched and writhed in their bindings at once. What was once a room of peacefully resting people quickly became tortured souls. They stretched and screamed and shouted in a sickening soliloquy akin to starvation. They looked as though bouts of pain were inflicted upon them, like a sickness taking hold of unhealthy bodies.
Stumbling in the dark, Colis tripped his way to the nearest flailing hammock. He lifted his lantern to the person's face, finding Lily's familiar smirk warped into weeping.
"Collie! Collie you have to untie me!" She said in fits of tears, "I can hear Elsie, Collie please untie me. I need to see her again."
Colis could only shake his head, placing his hand against her forehead checking for a fever. No rise in temperature, just rough skin.
"Please! Please! She's above decks! I know she's there!" Lily begged again. She was normally so strong: an unrelenting whirlwind. Words couldn't describe how jarring this was to witness.
He checked the next person. They were shouting, and Colis couldn't understand them. Some were weeping too, and between the hiccups he could make out words.
"Mam's food" one said, no fever, just rolling tears as she cried for food her mother had once cooked before she was taken. Another cried for his grandmother's shawl that was torn away in a storm, softer than the queen's silk and warmer than a beating heart. Beautiful sweethearts, the greatest alcohol, the finest music, relatives, knowledge: everyone was crying for something. Colis wished so dearly he'd extinguished his lamp and gone to sleep long ago, wished anything he didn't have to see this illness.
All of them wanted to go above deck, so that's where Colis went.
The lantern was running low now, the light dimming. It was getting hard to see and, without the usual thrum of the ship, it was getting even harder to find his way through the doors. Balance had never been Colis' specialty after all.
There was nothing on the deck. It was as empty as a bird's bones. No shadows nor silhouettes of any bodies. No Elsie, no mothers, no lovers, no one else to see.
A knock came from the side of the hull.
A knock came from right by Colis' hand.
Slowly, Colis peered over the side of the hull.
And there was a face. Close, so very close. Their noses were almost touching, and the face's breath mingled with his own, close enough to kiss. Very disgusting breath, what was this person, a fish? Colis shot back away from the person as if scuttling away from a predator. They began... Screaming? Singing? He wasn't really sure.
"Can you talk normally please?" Colis asked the person over the side of the ship, "I can't understand you, I'm deaf."
The person looked shocked and paused, before diving back into the waves. Once Colis couldn't see them, everything felt clearer. It was as though he'd been dunked underwater at the sight of the being- obviously not a human! They had yellow, slitted eyes! They just dived back into the sea!
Now, Colis had no idea on why there were fish smelling ladies who screamed in the middle of the ocean at night. Apparently stories about these sorts of things were sung, and there was the obvious problem. Singing, like shouting, is incredibly hard to lipread. Half the time Colis just gave up and drank like everyone else. While he didn't exactly know what the people in the water were, he sure as the stars wasn't going to tempt fate. He fiercely knotted a sturdy rope around his waist, and attached it to the mast.
Risking a glance overboard, he yelled (probably. It was a bit hard to tell, but his throat felt rough at the end of it, so it probably worked) "What are you?!"
The stares were debilitating. Large yellow eyes, wide as a deer's faced with a hunter's gun, slited like an alley tomcat, bored into Colis' own. Time seemed to pause. The only sign it hadn't was the still swaying ship, and the still-splashing sea.
Then, between themselves, the ladies spoke quickly. It was a flash of spitting teeth and furrowed brows and, even if any of them were facing him head on, he couldn't understand a thing. Suddenly, all of them twisted in the water, and dove back down, only to appear one by one.
The last to rise spoke what could have been a normal tongue. Colis stared, his face scrunching in frustration trying to make out words. Sensible words. Obviously they weren't talking about tyrants, or wrens. He almost slammed his head against the hull he was leaning against.
"Speak slower!" He demanded. Colis didn't care if they could kill him at this point. In his mind, they already were!
"We-" the speaker punctuated with a lofty wave of her hand, "are sirens."
"Can you leave the ship alone?"
"No."
Well, Colis never claimed to be a good negotiator. He was, however, good at throwing things. Unfortunately they were rather low on rocks in the middle of the ocean.
"Are you the ones bringing my crew pain?"
A smile grew across the speaker's face, "Yes! Their screams taste-" Colis couldn't understand the last word, but the message was clear. It was very clear, and he didn't want to know any more of it.
He sharply turned, feeling his food turn rock hard in his stomach. His crew's screams: tasty? It was horrifying. If he could swim better, he'd dive in and beat the things blue and bloody. For Lily, for his friends, for the wet rag Sammy who he'd begrudgingly call a companion. He didn't want to know what they wanted. He sure as hell hoped it was only a nap.
The ship thrashed and Colis whirled around to glare at the group.
"What?" He signed, his mouth twisted in a snarl.
"We can make an agreement?" The speaker was coming dangerously close to the side of the ship. He could smell her. "We can trade your youngest for your safe passage?"
Little Lucky. Their little girl who was kicked out of home for who she loved. What kind of man did they think he was? Colis spat into the water and bit his thumb at them. Never in a million years would he give up Lucky.
The speaker lurched up at him, reaching with her right hand. He snatched it before her talons could reach, and sliced through her wrist with the dagger from his side. The lantern clanged on the floor as the speaker unhinged her jaw. Quickly, he swung his left hand back around to tear through her lips.
As she fell back, Colis screamed and cursed, waving the bloody hand at them. They quickly got the picture, retreating back to the inky depths. Good. Colis would cut up a thousand of them if it meant his family was safe.
Maybe in the morning, he'd be cheered. Maybe he and his actions would be frowned upon. It didn't matter. Tied up, bone tired, and feeling a little safer; Colis fell asleep on the deck, loosely holding a dagger, a severed hand, and breathing softly beside a smashed lantern. The morning was the morning. Tonight he would rest.

24th July 1411 saw the Battle of Harlaw, near Inverurie.
A pretty bloody battle, by all accounts,aren't they all? Well apart from Carberry Hill, look for it in the group search box to your left if you don't recall it!
This was Scot against Scot clan battle, a feud between Donald of Islay, Lord of the Isles and Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar, fighting on behalf of the crown, and was all to do with who controlled Ross, a large region of northern Scotland.
Donald planned to strike south east into Moray towards Aberdeen, along with 10,000 of his clansmen, Stewart, forewarned of their arrival, had gathered an army of Knights on horseback, of around 1,000, and over 1,000 spear-men, heavily outnumber but better armed.
Holding his knights as cavalry reserve, Mar organised his spear-men into battle formation to face the advancing islanders near the town of Inverurie.
The islanders launched charge after charge against the close packed ranks of Mar’s spearmen but failed to break their ranks. Meanwhile Mar led his cavalry into the main body of Donald’s army, where the islanders thrust their dirks into the soft underbellies of the horses, stabbing the knights as they fell.
By nightfall the dead littered the field. Exhausted, Mar and the survivors of his army rested and waited for the battle to resume the following morning. With the dawn they found that the men of Donald had left the field, retreating back to the Isles.
The heavy losses suffered by both sides meant that neither side could claim the day; however Mar had successfully defended Aberdeen.
Among the dead was Provost Robert Davidson and many of the City Burgess's fighting on the Crown side.
The ferocity of the battle gave it the nickname "Red Harlaw". It is commemorated by one of my favourite memorials, on the battlefield near the town of Inverurie, designed by the architect William Kelly and erected in 1911.
The inscription around the top reads "To the memory of Provost Robert Davidson and the Burgesses of Aberdeen who fell here, AD 1411". There are also a number ballads and music commemorating the fight
Look for the song on Youtbe from Old Blind Dogs, the song is a traditional one and the "modern version is Child Ballad 163, the song was first mentioned in documents from 1549. Battle of Harlaw As I cam in by Denniedeer An' doon by Netherha' There was fifty thousand Hielandmen A-marchin' to Harlaw." Wi' my dirrum doo dirrum doo daddie dirrum dey As I cam on and further on And doon by Balquhain It's ther I met Sir James the Rose And wi' him, Sir John the Graham "Oh came ye frae the Highlands man, Oh cam ye a' the wey? Saw ye McDonald and his men As they cam in frae Skye? "Yes we cam frae the Highlands man An we cam a' the wey And we saw McDonald and his men As they cam in frae Skye." "Oh was ye near McDonald's men? Did ye their numbers see? Come tellm me Johnnie Hielandman What micht their numbers be?" "Yes we was near and near eneuch And we their numbers saw There was fifty thousand hielandmen A-marchin' to Harlaw." "Gin that be true," says Sir James the Rose, "Will come nae muckle speed. We'll cry upon our merry men An' turn oor horses head." "oh na, Oh na," says John the Graham, "That thing can never be The gallant Grahams were never best We'll try what we can die." As I cam on and further on And doon and by Harlaw They fell fu close on ilka side Sic strokes ye never saw. They fell fu close on ilka side Sic stroked ye never saw For ilka sword gaed clash for clash At the battle o' Harlaw. The Hielandmen wi' their lang swords They laid on us fu' sair And they drove back oor merry men Three acres breadth and mair Braves Forbes to his brother said, "Oh brither don't ye see.

🐠 ROW 1:
🐠 HUNTRESS: SOLD!
A free-spirit who's backpacked her way across the coast, she's cool and confident, if not a little unreliable- sweeping you off your feet one moment and gone the next. In reality she's a shape-shifting mermaid, and she's searching for something-- or someone-- that owes her a massive debt from long, long ago... (Based on a giant squid.)
🐠 BOARDWALKER: SOLD!
A lazy antisocial surfer kid with a dead end job at a surf shack. He tends to wander the beach with a metal detector for lost change. He doesn't do well with conflict, loud people, or spotlight- but after a massive wave washes up a strange artifact that just about the entire ocean is searching for, all of that's about to change... (Based on a hermit crab.)
🐠 YELLOWMOUTH: SOLD!
A foul-mouthed wannabe rockstar with a bad attitude to compliment his ego- he's got big aspirations and he'll step on anyone to reach his goals. As a merman, he likes to collect trophies of his battles with massive ocean beasts- and admittedly gets a little unhinged... (Based on a Yellowmouth Moray Eel.)
🐟 ROW 2:
🐟  DRAGONREEF: SOLD!
A cool jock all about the game and the team spirit. She can be a little dense at times, but her heart's good and she's stubbornly loyal. She will jump in to rescue someone, but probably kick their ass herself afterwards. (Based on a Sea Dragon.)
🐟 ABYSSAL BLUE: SOLD!
A quiet young princess of a powerful and unsettling kingdom deep below the ocean's surface. Despite being young and isolated, she's decided to seek help from other aquatic nations to stop a terrible undersea war. (Based on a Manta Ray.)
🐟 THORN QUEEN: SOLD!
She's a cool club-going goth with a day job at a popular record store. But at night, her and her siren sisters scattered across the city go out on the prowl, armed with ocean magic and hypnotizing songs... but for what purpose? (Based on a Crown-of-Thorns Starfish.)

Electro rock
'' Every trolls is the reflection of the music they listen to '' That phrase echoed in the head of that rock queen, the meaning of it was obvious. The POP trolls were cheerful and brightly colored, the funk trolls conveyed a good vibe no matter what, the classical music trolls were refined and neat, the country trolls had the face of being serious and proud but at the same time pleasant, their race, rock trolls were crazy and somewhat violent, that was their nature, and finally, techno trolls, that race where the person he loves most belonged. I know it's strange or even wrong, but the rock queen only sighed when she saw the Trollex king, everything about him seemed perfect, his face, his smile, that beautiful body, his colors, by God that hair and of course that cute personality that made her turn redder than her hair, she was not a sweetheart and much less romantic, these feelings were very confusing at the time, no one imagined that after Trollstopia was founded, the queen of rock and the king techno began to come out, many did not see it in the best way, but heck they were royalty, do you think that the whining of some trolls would prevent the happiness of both monarchs? If you answered yes, you are an asshole '' to Sometimes the love of your life can come after the mistake of your life '' that queen thought. What started with helping to rebuild techno reef turned into a beautiful friendship, which turned into laughter, fights, reconciliations and many beautiful moments, after all that, he formed a courtship, many were excited, others disapproved and many gave him Likewise, they had already been dating for 4 years, they were planning to marry at 25, they were both 24 years old at the time and as their last wedding anniversary, before joining their lives forever, Barb wanted to do something special for trollex. In recent years Barb has given several things, headphones, necklaces, nights of passion, and much more, she wanted this year to be unforgettable, she tried for hours to write her a song in the type of music that her boyfriend loved almost at the same level that she, EYE almost, Barb knew that trollex loved her more than her music, "Damn," Barb cursed, trying to put lyrics to music that she was 99% sure had no instrument was difficult. -Barb what's up? -His little brother Riff entered his room, that prince was attracted by the curses of his superior "Why is Riff difficult?" Barb asked his brother somewhat tiredly. "Why is it difficult to put lyrics to some beep and bup?" -Bip and bup? - The prince was somewhat confused, he did not know what his sister was referring to, but, looking at Barb, he could see the photo of the king of the trolls ceiling next to him, his neurons already started to work- Ohhh you talk about music ceiling "Of course I'm talking about techno music!" Barb said looking at the mess of papers next to her. -What exactly do you want to do? - -I want to write a song to trollex for our anniversary- Barb took one of the papers where she had written a song trying to imitate or at least get closer to techno -but everything I write is terrible- said that, the queen of rock made a ball paper and I throw it
-Have you tried writing him one in rock? -
-Many, I have hundreds, but I want this to be special - Barb said disappointed in herself
"You can go to Bliss Marin's house, she's a good DJ, she can give you some advice," her brother suggested. The focus of that queen lit up. (...) -Okey, okey, okey- The techno trolls read the notes of that girl with maroon hair Barb went to visit Bliss Marina as her brother had suggested, that mermaid was very happy for the queen's visit, but Barb got to the point and wanted her to help him write a song. -Barb I'll be very honest ... this is all rubbish- Marina threw all the barb notes in the trash "ARG KNEW IT !!!" Barb was upset and frustrated, her king deserved the best. -These losses girl, your anniversary is tomorrow and it is already 5 in the afternoon, I cannot teach you to be a Techno music in an afternoon, this is an art that you have been practicing for years, - affirmed Marina -Then you can't help me? - Barb asked, she was a little desperate -If you want I can write him a song and make a rhythm- Marina suggested -Of course not, this has to come from me, I will feel very bad if what I am singing for the love of my life comes from another person- reveals barb -Well, I can't do much- Both girls were thinking for a while, Marina was thinking about how to help barb and meanwhile the Queen of Rock just sat staring at nothing, she was disappointed and frustrated for not being able to give a song to her king. -I know! - Marina turned on the spotlight- you could look for the neon pearl -Neon pearl? -Barb didn't know what she meant -It is a pearl that is said to make anyone a techno expert just by having it- says Marina -That's a ... good idea? - Barb didn't know what to call it -Perfect, just go to the field of black algae and in the brightest clam you will find the neon pearl- Marina pushed Barb outside her house to start her journey. -I never leave home without my guitar- Barb took the guitar from her and said goodbye to Marina to start her journey. (...) -Where is he, where is he? - It had been about 5 hours, Barb was already in the black kelp forest, a place both beautiful and mysterious, The algae lit up since the sun set the sun, but the rocker did not know it or did not care, it was too focused on finding the neon pearl to dedicate a song worthy of the king to her beloved. She was searching the forest for that gem that would help him show her love for the techno leader. Of course, in her hair were several rock songs that she wrote with her lover in mind, but no, the song had to be techno. Barb kept looking all over the place, she wouldn't give up until she found something to help her play the same music as Trollex. Without paying attention to anything other than finding a clam, Barb did not realize that, in the distance, a moray eel was stalking her, the large fish saw her as a potential prey, Maybe Bliss Marina I didn't know that eels can eat rock trolls, but it was obvious that barb would be in danger. (...) -Hey Marina, do you know where Barb is? - The one who spoke was Trollex, the Trollex king of techno trolls, that young king was looking for her beloved, he hadn't seen her in hours and he started to worry. -Riff told me she was with me and that you were helping her with something- -She's ...- Bliss Marina tried to make up an excuse, she didn't want Barb's surprise- she's in the library -Library? - the trollex king did not believe him at all - You are right- -Marina tell the truth you are bad at lying- said trollex -well ... she is, in the Black algae forest- reveals the mermaid "WHAT?" The words of her subordinate worried the king "IN THE BLACK ALGAE FOREST?" Trollex felt that he would give her a fit. -Yes, why so worried? -THIS PLACE IS INFESTED OF PREDATORS !!! - said trollex altered -Predators? but you didn't expel them- says Bliss -I THOUGHT THAT, BUT THEY CAME BACK FOR THE REPRODUCTION SEASON- he said excitedly Bliss Marina thought for a moment and analyzed what she was thinking. -Oh shit...- (...) While all that was happening ... What was the matter with Queen Barb? -AHHHH- The poor queen of rock was fleeing from a ferocious eel, that fish only opened and closed her jaw trying to get those trolls to enter and devour her. Barb swam for her life, she was scared and with good reason, these eels have taken their lives many techno trolls, Barb did not want to be next, they not only had to look for a pearl to write a song for her lover, of course, if this I came out of this alive. -cu-cute little fish- Barb was cornered in a coral, she tried to distract the beast, calm it and thus be able to flee. The beast only growled getting closer and closer, it opened its mouth showing its sticky, blood-filled mouth, ready to eat. Barb was waiting for him but and she got into the fetal position, there was nothing else to do, she couldn't run away; until, she could feel something next to her, it was her guitar. Then she Barb remembered when she invaded Techno Reef, she remembered what her guitar did and she knew what to do ... (...) -Barb! - -Barbara!- -Her majesty of her! - All those voices were those of Trollex and the other leaders, they were looking for Barb, it was almost midnight and there was no sign of Barb. -Barb, Barbara, My QUEEN !!! - Trollex took a breath and shouted with all his might, he was worried about her girlfriend, that place was very dangerous and he feared the worst, he did not want to lose her like that, in half an hour of her anniversary. -Any new advance? -Asked the essence queen to her son D - nothing mom- answered D -We must find it, we have 1 hours looking for it and I think Trollex's heart won't take it anymore- said delta pointing to Trollex The poor man was very ill, you could see the despair and anxiety on his face, the simple fact of thinking that the love of his life, the trolls that was the cause of his smiles and his sighs, is hurt or even worse ... He was not able to say those words, he asked his ancestors not to be today the day when he says: "Barb" and "dead" in the same sentence. While the hands of the clock advanced the hopes were lost. -I found something !!! - Ramón yelled and everyone heard them. Trollex swam quickly to where Ramón was, when he arrived he desperately began to look for Barb. -Where, where is she? -Asked Trollex altered -Quiet friend- Ramón took out a handful of clothes -What is that? -It's Barb's clothes, I only found that with a little blood on a coral, - revealed Ramón- sorry Bro Trollex just took the clothes and smelled them, they still had their scent, these clothes, it may mean that their queen is gone, all those beautiful moments that they planned for the future were fading, Trollex's smile was fading, some tears were coming out From his eyes, he couldn't believe it was true, his beloved had been eaten. The other leaders lowered their heads sadly and approached Trollex -My boy- the queen stroked the head of the techno king trying to comfort him. Trollex clung to them needed maternal care. -Why-why sniff ahhhhh- the young king cried in the essence chest, he felt a lot of pain at that moment, his beautiful queen, his girlfriend and future
His wife had left his side, everything hurt, he could no longer see his beloved again, her smiles, laughter, her music, all that only lived in her memory. Her body started to go pale, her colors were fading. Everyone was sad and in mourning, until suddenly she could hear a very loud sound, a roar that made all the algae tremble and some animals came out swimming quickly. They all looked confused, but as the noise got closer to them they started to panic and raised their guard. They heard a roar even louder than all the previous ones, also a great blow, when the paraton noises were all confused. A great cloud of dust covered the gar, many coughed and others closed their eyes. Poppy opened her eyes and saw a figure. -Ba-Barb? - Saying that, everyone opened their eyes and smiled, she was the queen of rock. Barb was still alive, tired and with a guitar in her hands. -BARB! - The trollex king separated himself from his essence and swam out to embrace his beloved. -TROLLEX- -BARB- -TROLLEX- Both lovers hugged each other tightly and began to cry on the shoulders of others, the tears danced with each other, they were happy and very happy, barb was fine, Trollex had recovered his beloved, her colors began to shine, everything was fine. . The others covered their eyes, there is something that trollex did not realize. -Barb my love is it okay? -Trollex took his cheek, he was very worried -I'm fine and you? you look awful-answered Barb -I'm fine but you- -Who cares? -Asked barb -I care- said trollex hugging her Barb just laughs and trollex smiles at her, the king of techno picks up her girlfriend and starts kissing her whole face with a warm smile. -what happened?- -I'll just say that ... I tried to find something to help me play techno, I found an eel and ... I killed it to the point of rock- barb looked at the distance, trollex also looked, and could see a large eel with the exploded and bleeding ears. -HAHAHAHA- trollex laughed a little, he was happy to have her in his arms again. The clock struck 12, it was a new day, it was the anniversary of trollex and barb. -Happy anniversary my queen- Trollex kiss barb on the lips -Thank you my king ... I'm sorry I don't have a song for you-Barb said a little disappointed- I wanted to write you a song in the kind of song that you love, I wanted to show you how much I love you, the music that you love, that reminds me of you, I wanted you to know how much you mean to me
-Barb you don't need anything like that, I'm happy just to see you, you didn't have to risk your life for me, my music is not what I love the most, that's you, my music would no longer be music if you are, since you arrived my music improved, before my music was only music, it was something normal, and before it meant something to me, but, looking at the past, I realize that now, with you, that music compared to the me of the past is not music, now it's magic, that's how I feel about you- the techmo king tells his girlfriend Barb just kissed her boyfriend, they both closed their eyes letting themselves be carried away by the moment, both were happy, her love was strong, it was perfect. -Hey guys- The moment didn't last long, Poppy spoke up and interrupted them. They parted ways and Barb gave Poppy a bad look. -I just wanted to tell you that ... you can cover yourself Barb- the queen of pop pointed to Barb and she was completely naked. -AHHH- the queen screamed and hid behind trollex -Ya heart - trollex charge her to take her home (...) I was hanging out with you and then I realized I didn't think it was true I was surprised When I found out that I have fallen in love with you If I told you how I feel But i can't help it I'm falling in love with you And i can't quit Because i'm trapped in you And it could be pathetic and you could be skeptical But I just want to be with you Please tell me boy Can you give me a hint? Or it happens because I just want to be with you I am scared To tell you how i feel Maybe it's better if I try to hide the truth For me and for you But I'm still caught up in you, ooh, ooh I, I'm still falling in love with you For you Barb finished singing while she caressed the cheek of her lover, it was 4 in the morning of her anniversary, the trollex king was only sleeping peacefully in the bed of his girlfriend. Barb smiled at every move her partner made while she dreamed, seeing him, she imagined a thousand things, things would come true, a future together and the day that officially Rock and Techno would unite and form: electro rock . END -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Hahaha well this is the first one-shot of the couple, I honestly think I look bad, I would like to know your opinion, do you like it? Give ideas for more one.shot Thank you for reading. Sorry if the translation is bad, English is not my mother tongue

“Vovô Pedro”, a memory
Marina Morais
Tumblr media
2012.
I take a bus after class to go visit my grandfather in the hospital. He’s in ICU now, so visitations are limited to half an hour, one by one. There’s a whole lot of people waiting to see him when I get there. My turn comes to go in. I have to put on an apron, mask, the works. His bed is the very last one, so I can’t help but see all the other patients on my way to him. There’s a woman around 40 years old, she’s talking to someone, maybe her daughter. A very small old man with no visitors. The bed between his and my grandfather’s has the drapes shut (death or privacy?). I get to his bed. He’s barely awake, his eyes are shut. I hold his hand, but I don’t say my name. He’s having trouble recognising us lately, and I don’t want him to feel anxious. Suddenly, I know exactly how I’m going to use my time there. His time. I start singing. Very quietly, just for him. An old Cartola song from one of the many records he likes to put on the vinyl player when he comes to stay with us. Bate outra vez com esperanças o meu coração… I ask him if he knows the song, I think I see him nod, he squeezes my hand briefly. I continue to sing, finish the first song, move on to the second. Nelson Gonçalves now. Quando eu morrer, não quero choro nem vela… Do you recognise it? Nod, squeeze. By the time I sing the last verse, my five minutes are up. I tell him I’ll be back. Pray it’s true. Kiss his hand, walk to the door. The nurse helps me out of the apron and another person goes in.

Aight fam, I gotchu
@crippledtrashcan
Here’s some Fic Recs for ya, these are mainly some of my favs and ones I could think of off of the top of my head but I’ll give a quick run down (as far as I am aware none of these have been canceled/abandoned/dropped and all of them are on AO3)
Love? I Think Not - Kassykins - This one is an Action Romance with Yandere mixed in for some added angsty craziness, I was following it as it came out and HOLY SHIT was I enamoured! Reads is a badass. This one focus’ on the Fell bros with the Horror bros also playing a staring role, it’s a sweet romance that got my brain a ticking with theorizing and analyzing the chapters as time went on. There is no smut, only mentions are implied. Finished (with a sequel)
Love? For Real? - Kassykins - Said thrilling sequel; this one is set 10 years after the first when the world decides to get back on it’s bullshittery, it’s fluffy as all hell in the first bits though. Romance turned Angsty Action. This one includes the Horror bros, Swapfell bros, and the Fell bros. It’s also got some uh... scenes in it so if you aren’t comfortable with smut then skip over those sections like I did, in my personal opinion it’s 100% worth it. FINISHED <cries in happy>
Siren Song - NinaBeena - THIS ONE IS A GOTDAMN RIDE AND A HALF LEMME TELL YA-! Another badass reader but this time she becomes a siren. A word that comes to mind is ‘Gritty’, it’s got angst, lots of it, and violence (not all of them are like this I swearXD) but the satisfaction I got from reads recovering a bit from where she used to be and just- Moray, he’s the best. This one is a classic universe (kinda) And is Ongoing
Panic Room - coco_finny - RECOVERY/ANGST, there’s panic attacks and talks of abuse, it’s heavy I’m not gonna lie, even I’ve had to pause and read something else before diving back in, (ie, right now I have my place saved in its own tab) but it’s so good especially with how reads slowly gets back up and does her best to keep on moving towards recovery. There is fluff sprinkled in and I think it’s safe to say that Rus is a slut for hugs/cuddles in this one. It’s set in a SF universe with Reads as their Maid. Ongoing
Dirty Laundry - popatochisp - Fluff, so much Fluff. Rus is a fucking disaster and I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I WANNA SMOTHER HIM IN HUGS AND CUDDLES OH MY STARS- Ahem, excuse me 6w6. Anyways! Set in Swapfell dirty laundry follows Reads and Rus as they teach him how to adult (while also both falling for each other HARD). Also Black is an overprotective bastard child whom I wanna smack with a newspaper until he skitters away into his stalker hole. Update: I adore all 3 and there is now a bonus sequel (idk what to call it- it’s more good content though!). Finished
Bones, Picked Clean - lulu-writes - ITS BACK AND I AM LIVING FOR IT! I don’t know how much I’ve gushed about it but uh, it updated today and I just about screamed when I got the update. It’s one of my all time favs from when I first started getting into fanfic and that statement still holds strong! It’s a multi-skele scenario that (so far) has featured the UT, US, UF, SF, and HT bros. The most notable part being that Reads met the more... difficult skels first ;3 I used to think about that concept a lot before finding it and I absolutely ADORE how it was done! Sweets gives me life bro, and so do half the other skeletons in this fic. It’s fluffy as all hell and while it has its Action and angst moments it’s mostly fluff and schenanigans/amazing coincidences. Ongoing
Thunderstruck - MeAndMyGaster - So. Much. Pining. I Swear. To. The. Stars. Holy Shit- I love them. This one has more than moderate angst but it also has fluff and schenanigans. This one is a peculiar multi skele in that it only focuses on one skeleton, (our favorite~) Edge, And Only has 2 Sets of brothers present (UT & UF) ALSO DOOMY IS IN THIS AND I LOVE HER~! It takes a bit for her to show up but she does, I swear! I love this interpretation of Edge, he’s not the type we’re used to messing with. He’s not as bombastic with his reactions, giving me more mellow vibes over all, but worry not, he’s still a tsun. In this one Reads is a bit all over the place. She’s weird/crazy in the best of ways as well as being outgoing and overall pretty great (Edge agrees so it’s obviously true). Ongoing (another one of the 3 from my last post, THAT CHAPTER HOLY-!)
Fur a Good Time Call - popatochisp - Fluff, so much fluff, all the fluff. (With a nice pinch of recovery) When you think of Soft Horrortale- THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK OF. Reads works at an animal shelter that Sans decides to volunteer at and they hit it off from there. Paps is a shippy sibling and I’m right there with him, wishing I could just- push them together with a ‘now kiss!’ But instead I was sitting back yelling at my phone for the pining goofs to just kiss already. Finished
BEatingU - CuddlyCorpse - THIS ONE! This is the one I picked up today while surfing my feed looking at skeletons (how all the good fics are found, just look at Thunderstruck!) It’s Horrortale And it has some spoopy themes. There’s references to some not so nice things such as abuse while also being a bit more graphic in others, like violence/torture (it sounds so much worse typing it out, it’s good I swear!) Reads is a 3rd grade teacher that has the pleasure of having Francine, Sans’ adoptive daughter, as her student. As with all of these there’s romance in the air and, in this case, stalking to be oblivious to! It’s a bit of a mess but I like it. Update: So I haven’t read this one in awhile but I’m pretty sure there are smexy times? So if you’re sensitive to that just make sure to check tags! Ongoing
Six Skeletons, One Maid - RaccoonSinQueen - I know you know it, I just couldn’t not put it up here, it updated today and, once again, for the hundredth time, HOLY. HELL. Paps had me howling at one point and that ending?! Ohhhhhhh Lordy me I am ready for what happens next. This one is a multi-skele situation that includes the UT, US, and UF brothers with visits from the Gaster and SF bros, Ongoing
Their Wings - Castel - This one was finished fairly recently and takes place in the AU Heavenfell. In this one the reader is Frisk as they traverse the underground, the skeletons following along the way. HEAVY ANGST AND VIOLENCE UP THE WAZOO FOR THIS ONE, it’s not for the faint of heart. I’m currently re-reading it and almost cried knowing what was going to happen (ooo, cryptic~) and I’m just waiting for what I know will happen next. It’s graphic, but there’s amazing art for some of the chapters along with an epilogue comic on the tumblr bearing the same name as the Universe it takes place in (Heavenfell-au), it also has other parts on AO3; the last episode and the epilogue
Road to Garden - MightyLioness - also re-reading, road to garden is a Swap universe but that’s not all! It’s also set in a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. I fricken love it. In this one Reads is nicknamed Sugar and boy howdy is it for good reason! Sugar is, to put it lightly, INSANE. She is amazing and badass all while laughing like a maniac and being strong as all hell. It’s got references all over the place as well as art from the author and overall I just really like it. It gets Angsty (I legit cried at one point, it got me to that point) and is full of action so I always savor those small moments, the fluffy and comedic bits. Ongoing(?)
Housemates - YinYanChan - A multi-skele with a college freshman reader, Reads moves in looking for a quiet place to study without the humdrum of college dorms around her. It’s got UT, US, UF, SF and more? Also there’s a professor, who is amazing, I wanna be like him. ALSO BLUE HAS A BIG BROTHER MODE I ADORE THEM! Also, quick reminder to those of you who forgot the biggest life rule of all, don’t steal another man’s Candyland. Ongoing
The House Next Door - BattleMaiden13 - workaholic Reads gets some new neighbors and with time we meet her brothers and they are so vicerally siblings I swear. ALSO! The skeles Have Pets And I love Black’s pet. Bear is the best and not even doomy can change my mind. UT, US, UF, SF with an appearance from Mobtale (the one with Lil’ Pup). Ongoing
Bitty Hunt - Rnd_Injustice - THIS IS WHAT GOT ME INTO BITTYS-! Reads is a rare adult bitty who remembers who she was as a human, something completely unheard of as all memories of the bitty’s life prior is erased from theirs and everyone they know’s mind. The skeles move into Read’s house and she does not like this one bit (heh)... until she does of course. UT, US, UF, SF, HT her being smol does nothing to stop the skels from falling for her, no matter the size nobody is safe from Y/n. Ongoing has a secondary fic called ‘Bitty Hunt Schenanigans’ filled with POV switches and requests
Incoherent Screaming - Insanity777 - Angst, she just wants to be left alone but skeletons keep pulling her right back. Reads is running from her traumatic past, right out of the grips of one set of fillanges and right into the open arms connected to another. She tries to recover but mostly she’s just tired. Heavy topics and angst in this one. UT, US, UF, HT, And visits from SF and the G!Bros. Ongoing (?)
Skeletons and the Damsel - Accailia66 - multi skele with UT, US, UF, and FRESH (! I don’t mention it but Fresh is on my alternative favs list. I don’t think about him much but heelez are my jam, or would be if I had any) reads finds herself homeless when Sans Classic stumbles upon her and takes her in, her agreeing to work for her room and board by cleaning around the house and getting groceries. This reader is timid and definitely the Damsel type (hence the name) there’s also a secondary series with AUs and such but I can’t remember what it’s called off the top of my head. Ongoing (?)
Make the world Afraid - theragingprophet - In this one there are two types of monsters, Undergrounders and Surfacers as well as Humans. Not long after the monsters came out of the mountain Surfave monsters such as vampires, werewolves, and succubi came out of hiding as well. Reader is one such surface monster, with some of her closest friends being a pair of skeletal brothers from the Swapfell clan ( I can’t remember if this is one that used fell clan and such but I’m using it here). There’s also HT, US, UF, UT, MT(with lil’Pup), UL, and presumably more that we just haven’t met yet. Ongoing
Pets aren’t People - Skalicia - I really love convoluted plots ok? This one is set in a universe where the AUs are split into clans that were all instantaneously thrown into one universe. Because of this influx of new monsters they ended up enslaving humanity and over the years they basically became either workers or pets, reads is first introduced in a pound/animal shelter where skeles picked her up. She is intelligent, can fight, is a mage, and knows how to talk but chooses not to after discovering that humans couldn’t do that unless they were the pets of wealthy individuals. I’m trying not to spoil anything but ye. Shit hits the fan after a bit and this one really gets my brain working trying to figure out what’ll happen next. UT, US, UF, SF as well as OT, FS(?), And What I’m gonna dub SH (Sunna’s Home). Ongoing (?)
AND!!! For anyone who happens upon this list that took (check time)... nearly two hours (gsksnwksb) that isn’t Trashy-
Skeletons Conflict - Crippledtrashcan - A multi-skele fic with an anime protag Reader, she’s as adorable as she is successful. The story is fluffy as FUCK with the UT, US, UF, joining our lonely reads with nicknames abound. One of my personal favorites is Red/UF!Sans’ ‘precious’ I just find it endearing, they’re all a bunch of cute fluff balls and I love them. Also also, with an reverse harem anime protag comes anime cliches such as falling on a girl into an inapropriate position (=w=)b it’s good and trashy never fails to make my heart skip a beat. -Was Taken Down-
