Simu!Ken thought— he beaches off for you after one of the Kens or Barbies makes a mean comment about you. And ofc he wins
a/n: HAHAAAAA anon, your mind!! 😭🤌🏻 I decided to make this with both (mean) Ken and Barbie, and did my own lil 'thing' here ;))) thanks, sweetie!! (open to be read as Ryan!Ken, as usual!)
warnings: fluff! (+ teaching meanies a lesson & strong language!)
» fancy reading something new? check out my full m.list!
It's one thing to genuinely get on Ken's bad side, but it's another if the rest of the Barbieland follow suit.
Mean Barbie and Ken simultaneously arrived months after your Ken’s departure to find you, becoming the talk of the town in an instant. Though, 90% of the time, it was all for the wrong reasons.
Mean Barbie was demeaning, having a keen interest in insulting others for their interests and even their appearances. Mean Ken was no better, laughing in the Kens' face and Alan for liking anything that was, in his words, 'too girlish'.
Basically, they weren’t the best people to vibe with.
While both Weird Barbie and President Barbie tried their best to be civil with the two, the former was more vocal about her distaste, always giving them the stink eye as though she knew their words only went in one ear and out the other. President Barbie was more subtle, though she made sure to drop reminders about their actions here and there.
So when the mean match overheard the cheers and excitement over the infamous Ken coming back for a visit with his sweetheart, oh, they were not having it.
But soon, they were going to learn that their actions would, in fact, have consequences.
'Cause as the human saying goes; the more you fuck around, the more you find out.
President Barbie was there to greet you and Ken at the entrance, giving you a motherly hug before giving you a heads up and whispering in your ear about the notorious duo.
Though their behaviour wasn't nearly as bad as what you're used to in the real world, it didn't make them any less unpleasant to be around. Kudos to the Barbies and Kens (+ Midge & Allan!) for trying their best not to leave you alone with the two of them, though!
And it only took your Ken two days to do everyone a favour.
"Hoo, boy, here we go." Mean Ken scoffed at the sight of your Ken excitedly telling you about the surfboard he oftentimes used back when his whole purpose was to be Ken, "That was the cool guy around here?"
"Right? And I just don't see what's so special about her." His girl sneered.
"Tell me about it. Should've stayed where she came from like she was supposed to."
The rest of the Barbies and Kens froze up. They gave Pompadour Ken a quick glance, who was now uncharacteristically quiet.
Oh no.
Who were they to insult you for being you?
You've also noticed the two literally talking crap about you, though you were more concerned about Ken.
"Ken," You gently stroked his face, hoping it'll ease the sudden tension in his jaw, "Hey, don't listen to them."
"Hey, pal!" Mean Ken called out to him, "Wanna show us your lil' beach moves? Maybe tell us what's so special about your girl?"
Ken didn't speak up. He has millions of reasons why you were extremely special to him, but he learnt from you that losing his cool would be a total win for his opposition.
But the mean twins didn't take being ignored too kindly.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" He barked, pushing your Ken. He nearly lost his balance, almost hitting you with the surfboard he was holding.
It wasn't long before Ken finally lost his cool, swinging the surfboard square in Mean Ken's face. He flew away at an immense height and questionable physics, falling on his back just by the sea.
Some laughed, others cheered. By now, everyone was watching, even Mermaid Barbie and Ken showed up after hearing about a possible showdown on the Malibu Beach. They shook their heads the way disapproving parents would before waving at you, happy to see a nicer face in town.
"Oh my gosh, Ken!" Mean Barbie squawked, running to her man and shaking his unconscious body a little too aggressively, "What did you do?!"
"I just gave him what he deserved." Your Ken shrugged, running his fingers through his hair that had messed up when he lost his cool.
"You didn't have to like, punch him!"
"It was gonna happen eventually," Alan murmured to himself, only to earn sounds and nods of approval from the rest of the Kens and Barbies. Even if Pompadour Ken wasn't the one putting them in their place, someone would've.
Sure, maybe a dance-off would've been sufficient.
Buuut, then again, it was probably the real-world air that he's been breathing in for so long, so it was only a matter of time before his patience snapped, and it did when they started running their mouths about you.
After all, Mean Ken preferred 'manlier' efforts.
"You're in huge trouble, weirdo!" She hissed, believing your Ken's (necessary) violence could easily banish you two from Barbieland.
"And what're you gonna do about it?" It was your turn to challenge her, standing closer to her with your arms crossed. You weren't just going to stand there and let her spit venom at your boyfriend, much less at your new friends.
Just a reminder that your hands were rated E for everyone.
"I'll… I'll…! I'll tell Psycho Barbie!"
"That won't be necessary." Everyone's heads turned to the side to see Weird Barbie approaching, boots off as she walked on the sandy floor with a delighted smirk on her face, "And that's Weird Barbie to you, missy."
She turned to Pompadour Ken, patting him on the shoulder with a grin, "Good job, kid. Didn't think you had it in you but it's probably that wild human air," She then turned to you with a wink, "You got quite the keeper."
Ken mirrored her proud smile.
"A little help, doc?" She nodded at Doctor Barbie, who immediately rushed to her side. Weird Barbie pointed behind her with her thumb, "Give that guy a quick scan before the President gets here, will ya?"
Weird Barbie was no doubt beyond excited to report the two, and with tons of eyes as witnesses.
"Hey," Your Ken placed his hand on the small of your back, "I'm sorry about that. You wanna head home or…?"
Ken was less than pleased by the thought of the day being ruined but he'd understand if it had because of the mere presence of the two. Some may call him dramatic, but to you, he was just making sure of your comfort.
"No, no," You shook your head, resting your head on his chest, "I'm okay."
The groans and whines of Mean Ken and Barbie respectively as President Barbie berated their actions were just bonuses to the feeling of you against him. Softening him up from what had happened prior like kneading dough ever so gently.
"I recall a certain someone promising to play his guitar around a campfire for me?" You teased him, hoping to lift his spirits.
"I did, didn't I?" He hummed, grabbing his guitar bag that lay on the beach chair before wrapping his other arm around you, "C'mon, I know the perfect place."
He brought you to the spot furthest from the 'busy zone', though that didn't stop his friends from dropping stuff like a blanket, sausages and marshmallows to roast as a thank you for his service.
All in all, the night ended on a much higher note, with your boyfriend serenading you with romantic and cheesy songs he learnt back in the real world and stuffing yourselves with some good campfire food.

Carnival mermaid Steve where Steve works at the medieval festival and working as a mermaid doin maneuvers and tricks, using his co-captain swim team skills. (Plus if u wanna sprinkle is some HoH Steve in there where he signs at robin while he’s in the tank or something)
With this comes pirate Eddie, putting on a whole show with music n sword fights. Being as dramatic as possible n just having fun. (Plus I just wanna see him with all the shiny earrings n being a lil gremlin like this)
Just imagine them meeting up like this, mostly because Chrissy got the mermaid job as well (n now imagine robin meeting her). Eddie would have a full on gay panic cuz, let’s face it, it’s Steve in a mermaid outfit. So they become friends, Eddie ends up gifting Steve just a bunch of random shiny/pretty stuff that he finds (cuz that boy is a crow, u can’t tell me he doesn’t collect the most random stuff). N then steve finds random shiny thing that reminds him of Eddie n finally gifts him something like this in return.

Yandere! Azul Ashengrotto General Headcanons
OCTO NOTE: Okay I know I said that I would work on the Cloud Strife hcs but then I got sad and thought about Azul lmaooo
Think of this as a celebration post for the live action The Little Mermaid release!! Has anyone seen it yet??
Warnings: NOT PROOF-READ, Yandere behaviour, manipulation, obsession, OOC madness, blackmail, insecurities, Jade and Floyd, this is a mess lmao I’m sorry.
**WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR TWISTED WONDERLAND
REMINDER: Yandere behaviour of any kind is unhealthy behaviour. It should not be something to seek out in real life. If you are experiencing any sort of inappropriate behaviour, please contact help/seek out help.
**The reader will ALWAYS be Gender-Neutral!
ps. HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TO MY FELLOW LGBTQIA+ <3333
———————————-••———————————
- Azul can be described as a greedy, manipulative, and intelligent individual who uses logical reasoning and sometimes solid ‘evidence’ to succeed, whether it be his business or his education.
- At least on the outside.
- On the inside is an insecure, isolated, and paranoid little octopus that when cornered, just can’t help but slowly become unable to contain the facade he worked on for years.
- Now imagine this sad lil’ octopus as a yandere
- Not good lol
- I mean yes, the manipulative and intelligent nature of Azul are probably the main reasons as to why he’s one of the more terrifying yanderes in the TWST cast.
- But it’s because of him being very self-conscious of everything, as well as years of being isolated from his peers at a young age, Azul can be very much a clingy type as well. Especially to ones he cherishes the most.
- Which is unfortunately you! :D
- At first, Azul thought nothing of you
- Only seeing you as a pawn for his own selfish gain.
- But as Book 3 progressed and the on-going reports from the Leech twins, Azul can’t help but become curious of your character, dear prefect.
- Why do you care so much about those 3 fools? You haven’t even known them for a year and yet here you are! Sacrificing your well-being to save them.
- It sickens him.
- The thought of your selflessness makes him sick to his stomach.
- But despite that, he starts to think about you more.
- And begins to imagines
- What if he was the one you were going all out for?
- The one you were taking care of?
- The thought of that shell-shocked him for a bit.
- He shook it off and proceeded to his planning once more.
- Once everything ended with Azul’s overblot, you decided to personally talk to him.
- Telling him that you also went through some of the same issues that he had as well.
- Pointing out your flaws, outwards and inwards.
- It’s just you trying to show Azul that he wasn’t alone when it came to these problems. That’s he’s not the only one who’s worked so hard to cover up their past in order to move on.
- To say that Azul was shocked was an understatement.
- In fact he didn’t really say anything while you were talking to him.
- All he did was listen to you.
- And for the first time
- He felt that he wasn’t being made fun of or mocked.
- It was…comforting.
- Azul is clingy.
- Be it in his human form or his octopus form.
- During the museum scene in Book 3 (when the gang looked at the field trip photo), you couldn’t help but hug him after seeing lil’ smol and chubby Azul.
- He looked soo cute and cuddly!!
- Bby Azul!!
- He was in shocked
- He couldn’t move
- But didn’t try to leave your embrace.
- He just stood still.
- He didn’t understand
- For the first time in a while, he felt at peace.
- But at the same time, his heart was starting to beat uncontrollably and his breathing was becoming heavy.
- Ace was weirded out.
- Deuce had no idea what was going on .
- Grim was hungry.
- Jack wanted to leave.
- Floyd and Jade were snickering in the background while this unfolded
- Azul was fuming out of embarrassment when he heard them snicker.
- It was at this point where Azul fell in love with you.
- So ever since then, he secretly longs for your company.
- Walking beside you
- Asking if you’re in needs of favours that only he can fix for you
- If you give him a hug, that man will hold onto you for a while.
- He doesn't even realize it until you mention it to him.
- Even if you’re in the Monstro Lounge, as long as he knows you’re somewhere in the same vicinity as him, he’s at peace for a bit.
“Ah! D-dear Prefect! I didn’t even notice you’ve arrived at the lounge. W-well I know! I know that I wasn’t in the lounge when you came in, I was in my office working on our marriage contract— I mean—! Contacts for fellow peers who need some assistance. And— Floyd! Jade! I can hear your mocking from here! Stop it!”
- Speaking of Floyd and Jade,
- They very much enjoy having you around the lounge.
- Or just when you’re around in general.
- You provide so much entertainment for them, it’s amusing to watch.
- Especially if Azul is around.
- They haven’t seen Azul like that since he was a lil octopus.
- But, like Azul, they also grown fond of you.
- Not like that tho
- Like a sibling
- A lil Shrimpy for them to protect and play with!
- As they grow more fond of you, they start to see you as a pitiful and defenceless Shrimpy.
- Despite you saving them from Azul’s blot form but oh well—
- They have to protect you!!
- So don’t try to run away from them
- It’s pretty much useless at this point.
“Hey hey, Shirmpy~ Let’s play together!! You know it’s useless struggling! Especially since you’re soo puny~ *Giggles* C’mon! I promise that if you stay good, I’ll squeeze you less tight than usual~”
“Fu fu fu~ Floyd please be gentle. You don’t want to scare them more than they already are. Dear prefect, don't be alarmed. We simply want to spend a little quality time with you before Azul orders us to bring you to the lounge.”
******
- Despite Azul being a very cunning and manipulative individual, he’s also very self-conscious.
- Azul puts these precautions and restrictions on you because he’s scared that you’ll leave.
- He’s paranoid that you’ll just run off and find another person that’s better than him.
- He’s always been casted aside for almost all his life.
- That’s why he made sure to cover up all of his past self.
- He doesn’t want to be that ‘octo-twerp’ anymore.
- He doesn’t want you to think of him as that twerp he was years ago.
- He doesn’t want you, the person he loves so much, to see him like that.
- Even with all the reassurance from you.
- Believe it or not, Azul takes your opinions of him in high regards
- Meaning if he finds out about something you don’t like about him (beside the obvious problematic traits he has), he would make sure to change, if not conceal them, in order for you to stay happy with him.
- As long as you’re happy, he’s happy.
- He just doesn’t want you to leave him, is that so hard to ask for?
- So please just stay
- For the sake of his own being entirely.
- And if you don’t?
- Hoo boy—
- You thought Azul was bad during the 3rd book with his contracts?
- It’s gets worst
- Especially since it’s business mixed with love.
- Let’s get this outta the way, this man will search high and low for any flaw or problem you have.
- He’ll find anything and I mean anything.
- Whether it be you’re struggling with (school, education, etc) or something you did.
- If he can’t find worthy material, he’ll just make up something believable. Then will exaggerate that shit till you can't even defend yourself.
- He will find a way, he'll find something to use against you.
- And once he has all of the information he needs to trap help you, all he has to do is call in one (or both if you’re slippery lmao) of the tweel twins to ‘kindly escort’ you to his office!
- This is Azul we’re talking about. He’s always ready to lend a hand to a fellow peer in need.
- And it’s totally out of the kindness of his 3 pure and selfless hearts.
- What a saint.
- 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
- Whatever problem Azul decides to blackmail you with, the only way for him to solve it is for you is to give your unconditional love and devotion to him.
- He will also give you his love and devotion as well. But he didn’t say that out loud.
- At this point, you just have to give in.
- I mean, look at what could happen if Azul leaks out the blackmail material he’s using against you.
- You could possibly get kicked out of Night Raven.
- Where would you and Grim go? You’re not even from here! You don’t even have enough money saved up.
- Even if you could threaten Azul with fraudulence (if the accusations he presented were false), there’s nothing that Floyd and Jade can’t do when needing to silence someone.
- And both are glad to do so if you’re planning to leave them.
“My dear Prefect! Why are you looking so downcast? Is it because of what I said? Oh, don’t worry! If anything happens to you, it will be alright as long as you sign this contract I have provided before you. You don’t want to? Then hopefully you don’t mind Floyd and Jade kindly convincing you to do so? I promise you, prefect, you’ll be fine with me as long as you do what I say. My generosity and unconditional love holds no bounds when it comes to you.”
———————————-••———————————

Oh my god, Frenchie and Jim coming to Ed and Stede like they’re kids asking if their cousins can sleep over
The crew going shoppiiiiiiiiing!!!
Frenchie’s lil dancey dance added many years to my life

“Don’t pirate kids” well listen okay I don’t have HBO Max it’s the only way I can watch this show
MY QUEEN
Wee John you’re so beautiful and amazing and we don’t deserve you
Jim’s lil mustache, like yeah me too <- Non-Binary person
Stede looks so happy about seeing Wee John!! He’s so proud of his son!
Izzy is gorgeous. I’m actually so happy to see him explore more sides of himself, and to find things he can indulge in. This whole season has really just been Izzy’s big therapy arc
His hair makes him look a bit like Cinderella’s evil stepmother though
Oh he can sing too! Izzy!!! <- A person who did not like Izzy in season one
Wee John X Izzy? Roach X Fang?
YO THE
POLYCULE DANCING?!
Ed protecting Stede….just, immediately putting him behind himself…I just…
I rewatched that clip five times
“Because I only hang out with cool pirates” Stede’s face!!! He’s just like Oh Snapppp
Despite it all, Stede and Ed are still the cutest couple that has ever graced the TV screen. Like hell yeah, make fun of people together!
Ed keeps being protective…..okay I need a moment…
Roach you’re a lunatic and I love you
“Whatever this is it’s just gonna turn me on” Izzy you’re a shining star
Also I just now noticed that Black Pete and Lucius aren’t there. I’m guessing they eloped somewhere and are currently taking care of their adopted cat
Nope okay, literally the second I unpaused there they are. That’s the worst timing
Hell yeah my dudes, I hope you broke whatever bed you used
“I’m just doing it for the lolz” Yeah that’s sounds like something someone from the 1700s would say
I know this is a pirate ship but why do they just have so many knives and swords laying about
Who is this fanged torture queen, and how do I acquire her number?
Stede remains best employer, while Aziraphale is the best landlord. Can these two people just run the world please and thank you
Hell Cat Maggie is my soulmate
I feel like there needs to be a pirate workers union
The crew of the revenge is the best found family of all time
Stede Bonnet can rival Steven Universe in reforming villains, like he’s just such a genuinely nice dude
“Alright gang! Let’s talk profit sharing”
Oh protective Stede, alright let’s go mate defend your mans
Okay but why is Stede kinda 👀 in this scene
Oh Stede, love…
OH THEY FAWHKING
That French? Izzy speaks french?
I want to see that man get dicked down
I guess the revenge now has a pet goat
Episode 7
Okay Ed is a soft boy again, aight
NO NOT THE LEATHER JACKET
The anime toast in mouth thing. He’s officially been baby girl for a long while, but we’re really solidifying it
OH THEY FUCKED
Isn’t there an anime where a mob boss becomes a house wife? Yeah that’s Ed
Oh we’re telling him about the mermaid fantasy, okay
Izzy what the fuck, you’re amazing
“He’s jealous” my darling
The polycule is going strong, and I love the absolute lack of jealousy. This is the best representation I have ever had
Oh they’re going on a date! That’s so sweet actually
It’s really sweet that they’re talking about their time apart
Stede’s famous now? Good for him!
I need to stop falling in love with every pirate lady In this show. That being said, I hope we see more of the fangirl lady
I’m reinforcing my claim that Stede and Ed are cuter than anything that has ever been on screen
OH MY GOD SWEDE
The Söt Och Saftig, my love. Also this far in and this is the first time the character “The Swede” actually says something in Swedish
Scammer Frenchie is back in business, love that
Jim and Archie trying to get their boyfriend set up is very sweet actually
The character development of Izzy going from wanting Ed to remain “Blackbeard” to him saying if being a softie makes him happy then he should do that, like I get it now, I know why you all love this man
OH MY FUCKING GOD STEDE
Can’t believe Stede is an official Slut now
Open communication? Like genuine conversation about their relationship, and the pace they’re taking it? Ed being honest that he’s not ready for the steps they’re taking in their relationship?
What is this argument
I live for Lucius and Black Pete’s nicknames for each other
“I’ve only known you for a few hours Bonnet, but I’d fucking die for ya” Same random dude. Same
Izzy🥹
Zheng and Olu are really cute actually
Oh my god the polycule will end my fucking life
DONT BRING ED INTO THIS ZHENG
“That was really mean” YOU TELL HER STEAK KNIFE
Protective Jim my beloved
Oh my god
Roach and Fang friendship?
Roach is the queen of self care

I love your posts, think if i slid you some funky bones like say i don't know, a rib cage and some vertebrae i could get some story about something that danny does in gotham affecting damien specifically?
I like the stories where damien is suddenly inexplicably nice due to simethung danny did, and it scares the other members of the batfam.
Ya know… I wouldn’t be opposed to some extra rib bones.
Ok ok let me put on a 10 min timer and just write as many prompt concepts as I can and hope that appeases you in exchange for some ribs:
Danny is unaware that as the ghost king, he is able to command liminal beings. After being mockingly harassed by Robin he just says “Geez man. Can’t you be nice for once?” Robin can’t disobey. He can’t say no to any asks for a favor. He can’t tell anyone when they’re making him uncomfortable or distressed in any way. He can’t speak his mind because it could be considered rude to that person. How long does it take for the Bats to figure out what’s happening and how does Damian let the batfam know that something is wrong.
Danny starts dating Damian. The bats don’t know shit about it. Damian meets Jazz who helps give him tips on how to interact with people because he doesn’t really know how normal interaction works. The Bats don’t know how this change happened but it’s kinda weirding them out.
Danny is a Mermaid that lives in one of the underwater caves in the same cave system that the Batcave is in. Damian goes exploring and finds Danny. Why Damian spends a vast amount of time exploring the caves and why he suddenly is very politely asking for vast amounts of raw seafood to be brought to the house is beyond the rest of the family.
Damian has a new dog. Shame that the poor guy seemingly got dipped in glow in the dark green paint. He dotes on the lil guy like a child and it’s adorable.
Damian somehow knows information about various crimes and crooks in Gotham. He says he has a new source he contacts to get info from and refuses to let any other Bat to meet them. Apparently if they do it violates their agreement and he will be unable to meet this person ever again. That person is Danny. The fucker is omnipotent after becoming the Ghost King and he’s grown a liking to Damian so he tells him whatever he wants to know in exchange for just hanging out together.
Damian knows a bunch of rare human customs on Ghost King Worship. The practices have been lost to the Ghost Zone’s side of the realm so Danny just pops on over and asks Damian about it. Damian, confused yet intrigued, tells this strange glowing boy about the League of Shadow’s customs.

lil mermaid prey story. enjoy
content: size difference, oral vore, fatal vore, digestion, unwilling prey
Felicity couldn't hear the conversation happening between the two giants above her, but she could tell it wasn’t good news. Trapped inside her water-filled jar, she swam nervously back and forth, tail swishing, as she watched the shopkeeper and customer chatting amicably with each other.
Money exchanged hands. The customer gestured to a jar next to Felicity, which contained a similarly trapped mermaid. The shopkeeper took the jar and handed it over.
Felicity wasn't sure how she'd gotten herself caught or what her purpose was here. Her memories were foggy and chaotic: one moment she'd been swimming happily with her friends, then the next she'd been scooped out of the water and plopped inside a jar, and carted off too… where was she, even? Some kind of market? She could see giants bustling around to different stalls, carrying bags and boxes, excitedly buying things. There was fresh produce, books, art…
And whatever her stall was.
Felicity returned her attention with growing dread back to the customer and their captured mermaid. She had a horrible feeling she knew where this was going.
The customer grinned and unscrewed the lid of the jar. The mermaid inside, a pretty thing with a sparkling teal tail, frantically tried to pull herself up over the rim of the jar, desperate to escape while she had the chance, but couldn't get a grip. And then the giant was lifting the jar to their lips, tilting their head back, and starting to drink.
Shit, Felicity thought, her fears realized.
The other mermaid flailed and splashed in fear as the giant drained the water steadily, but there was nowhere to hide. Out the mouth of the jar she went and into the mouth of the giant. The last Felicity saw of her was her terrified thrashing tail vanishing between the giant's lips - then she was watching a large bulge travel down the giant's throat and disappear behind his collarbones. Vanished to the depths of his stomach, doomed as nothing more than food.
Panic writhed in Felicity's chest. She was to be sold and eaten. This market was full of hungry predators who wanted nothing more than to swallow her up and digest her. Her life was a novelty snack here, and chances were she would soon be sliding down someone's gullet and settling into their groaning stomach. To be digested.
She bashed against the glass of her jar, and bashed against the lid, frantically trying to break out any way she could. What she would do if she did manage to escape, she wasn't sure - it wasn't like a mermaid could get far on dry land like this. But anything had to be better than becoming a tasty morsel in someone's belly.
Despair settled in. One by one, she watched the mermaids around her be sold and devoured. One by one, jars were upended and mermaids sent screaming between hungry lips. Living bulges rippled down eager throats. Giants patted their stomachs in satisfaction. How long would it be until someone bought her? How long before she found her place on the food chain?
/
Miller was hungry. In his rush to get to the market, he'd skipped out on breakfast. Luckily for him, there was no shortage of food stalls to peruse, and one in particular caught his eye immediately. A beaming shopkeeper presented rows and rows of tiny jars, each containing an adorable little mermaid. They swam and swished around anxiously.
Miller's stomach growled and grumbled. They weren't his usual sort of food… in fact, he'd never eaten a mermaid before in his life. Such exotic delicacies were hard to come by. He wondered what they would taste like, what they would feel like, their pretty scales gliding over his tongue, their wriggling tails thrashing as they slipped down his throat.
"Hi there!" the shopkeeper said cheerily, beckoning him over. "Are you interested?"
"Yes, please," Miller said.
"Go ahead and pick whichever you like!"
Miller crouched down in front of the table to get a closer look at the little treats. His gaze trailed over them, taking in each one fully. The pink-tailed one looked delicate and sweet… but that one on the left had an especially long tail, and she'd surely feel magnificent as she went down his throat… Miller bit his lip, indecisive.
"How about this one?" the shopkeeper suggested, and plucked up a jar containing a beautiful golden mermaid with a thick, powerful tail. "I just caught her this morning. She's an especially fiesty one, so she'll struggle very nicely for you."
Miller peered at the tiny creature. She was twisting about in her jar, her tail slamming into the glass walls, trying to break out. She did look fiesty, and absolutely delicious. She was yelling, her voice nothing more than a series of shrill, anxious squeaks.
"Perfect," Miller said. "How much?"
/
Felicity shrieked in terror as the shopkeeper passed her jar to the customer. She caught a glimpse of the giant's face as he took her: his eyes gleaming with hunger, his tongue tracing his lips. He clearly had no ethical qualms about gobbling her down.
"No! Stop!" she yelled. "Don't eat me, please! I'm not food! I'm not food!"
She had a name, a life! She had friends! She had family! She had dreams for the future! How could all that be so easily reduced to nothing? What right did he have to devour her? Why was filling his stomach more important than her existence?
An enormous finger tapped on the glass, and she heard the muffled voice of the giant speaking to her.
"Aw, how cute!" he cooed. "I know just what to do with you, you delicious little thing."
"I'm begging you!" Felicity cried. "I don't want to be eaten!"
The giant just smiled at her. She saw his hand reaching for the lid of the jar, and knew she would only have one chance to escape. As soon as he unscrewed the lid, she'd have to hoist herself over the lip of the jar and out. Would she die if she fell from this height? And if she didn't, would she be able to drag herself to safety? She knew her chances were slim, but she had to try.
The giant's hand closed down around the lid and unscrewed it, and then there was open air above her. Felicity pushed herself upward with all her might, throwing her arms over the lip of the jar in an effort to clamber outwards. She was so, so close -
She heard a rumble of laughter from the giant and then a huge finger pressed down on her head, forcing her back down into the water.
"Cheeky thing," the giant said, amused. "Oh, you will struggle just wonderfully in my stomach, won't you? Putting all that energy to good use."
Then, to Felicity's horror, her jar was being raised, heading towards those colossal lips, heading towards her doom. The giant's lips parted eagerly and the jar became a neat slide right between them; water began to flow out from her jar and into the warm depths of his mouth.
Glp. Glrk. Glck!
Swallow after swallow pulled her ever closer, the water spiralling and vanishing down that constricting gullet. Felicity squeaked in terror and fought to stay in the jar, to no avail. Her tail swished frantically as she slipped past the rim of the bottle and rushed into the giant's mouth. The water carried her swiftly towards his hungry gullet, which was pulsating rapidly as he greedily gulped.
She let out one last terrified shriek as she was sucked straight into the clutches of the giant's contracting throat. She threw her arms out to the side in an attempt to stop herself, but the water simply carried her right on through, down into the dark, sucking recesses of the gullet. The giant didn't hesitate - he gulped her happily down. Felicity cried as his hungry throat sucked her down, down, down, slick fleshy walls funneling her deeper into his digestive system. Water gushed around her as she slithered rapidly down her captor's uncompromising gullet, towards his waiting, deadly stomach. She had been eaten.
/
Outside, Miller continued gulping the water, feeling the sizeable bulge of his little guest pressing down through his chest, towards his craving stomach. He could feel her powerful struggles, the thrashing of her tail as she fought her fate as his breakfast, but she was no match for the muscles of his throat - and the authority of his hunger. The bulge of her delicious body trailing down his throat felt exquisite and his stomach growled in anticipation. He was already quite certain she would be one of the best meals he'd had the pleasure of devouring. That powerful tail would massage the inside of his stomach wonderfully and aid him in digestion.
Miller finished draining the water, and sighed contentedly as he felt the poor mermaid drop down into his belly. Immediately she began to scream and struggle, slamming desperately against the interior of his stomach. Her fists hit his stomach walls, pounding wildly, and her tail thrashed. He could feel the water sloshing around inside his belly, stirred by the mermaid's frantic struggles - she felt incredible. Not only would she be a filling and nutritious start to his day, she would provide him with a fantastic internal massage. His stomach rumbled happily.
/
Deep inside the giant's stomach, Felicity sobbed out in fear. The water around her was hot and already prickling with acid, and the stomach walls were shifting and groaning with deadly, eager purpose. It was pitch black, and all she could hear was the deafening machinations of the body around her: the thudding heartbeat, the rush of breath, the wet squelch of the shifting stomach walls. It all felt so surreal - she had been eaten, and she was trapped helpless and alone in a giant's stomach. No one would come to her rescue. Every giant here at this market thought she was exactly where she belonged, and wouldn't have even batted an eye at the sight of her bulge rolling down this giant's throat and disappearing into his body. They would not think of her terror as the belly churned - she was food, and food belonged inside bellies, churning. Her fellow mermaids were powerless to help her, too, and it was only a matter of time before they too were sliding screaming down someone's greedy gullet.
Despair washed over her. The giant's stomach let out a deep groan, the sound rumbling and awful, a hungry, desperate noise heralding oncoming digestion - the stomach had become aware of the tiny, helpless creature fluttering about inside it, and it was ready to begin performing the one job a stomach was built for. Felicity scrambled to find the entrance, but the walls were slippery and she tumbled back down. The stomach squeezed in and she squeaked in shock as she was bumped around in the unstable dark.
"Help me!" she screamed. "Someone help me! Get me out of his stomach! He's going to digest me!"
GROWL, went the giant's stomach, rather hoping no one would come to her aid. It squeezed in on its panicking meal, ready to churn her up and digest her, turning her life into valuable nourishment.
/
"How was she?" the shopkeeper asked, while passing a bottle that contained a shrieking mermaid to another hungry customer.
"She was delicious," Miller said, rubbing a hand over his tummy. "I've never eaten a mermaid before. She feels fantastic in there."
"Mermaids always put up a wonderful fight," the shopkeeper said. "They lash out with their tails and they can go without air for a long time - they'll struggle hard well into the digestion process, they'll continue giving your belly a nice massage long after other prey would pass out. If you ever get the chance, you should gobble down three or four at a time. They'll be the best full belly of your life."
"Thanks for the tip," Miller said. "I think this little snack will keep me busy enough for now though." As if on cue, his stomach let out a low gurgle, resulting in a new flurry of panicked motion from the poor creature trapped inside it. Miller ran a hand over his belly, pleased. "My stomach is keen to get acquainted with her."
"Digest well!" the shopkeeper said cheerily.
Miller patted his belly and grinned. He always digested well.
/
"No!" Felicity screamed as the giant's stomach churned and squeezed more violently. Acid sloshed around her, biting at her skin, and the stomach began to contract rhythmically. She cried as loud as she could for mercy, but the sound was drowned out by the intense gurgling and groaning around her. What cause would he have to listen to her, anyway? She was a delicious snack, and she was doing the one thing a delicious snack was meant to do: being digested. The giant's stomach walls crowded hungrily in.
/
Miller continued about his day, enjoying the feel of the light, squirming snack in his stomach. He remained pleasantly aware of the powerful thrashing and struggle taking place inside his groaning tummy as his food fought for its life, fought to avoid becoming his breakfast. His stomach gurgled and groaned, and he knew the happy sounds heralded the beginnings of proper digestion. Miller prodded his belly with a playful finger. He relished in her fear, her fighting. Didn't she understand? They were predator and prey - it was his body's right to crush and squeeze and churn hers into nutrients.
/
Glrp. Grmble. Felicity punched and lashed out as acid sloshed and swelled higher and higher, as stomach walls kneaded her like food, as deafening groans and grumbles thundered around her. Glck. Groan…
/
Miller rubbed at his busy stomach, letting out a quiet moan. She was losing her battle, of course - as all live food he gulped down did. Food was no match for a stomach, especially one as powerful as his.
"Too bad," Miller cooed to the doomed meal squirming frantically in his groaning tummy. "My tasty little snack. What a wonderful breakfast you are. Have fun in there."
At some point, she stopped struggling. Miller's stomach groaned and churned hard, massaging her into sustenance, as he wandered through the market.
A while later, he settled down for a bite of lunch and piled more food down on top of her, smiling and rubbing at his stuffed stomach. His stomach churned and squeezed gleefully. The mermaid was sludge, churning through his belly, unrecognisable from any other food.
She had served him very well indeed.

This is exactly where you'll find Riley Burns every evening. In a lawn chair. "it's my 'fancy dancy' lawn chair", he passionately professes. He is a few beers in and feeling all the better for it. "Please don't pixelate them!" he exclaims. I ask for some clarity. "my mermaid tattoo. I hate censorship. And I love titties." I ask him to tell me a bit about himself and he has no hesitation in beginning to tell me his life story. He's definitely a talker.
"That rinky dink trailer you passed on your way here? I was born right on the floor. Thank god it wasn't on the carpet, nice goin' ma! She left soon after. Prolly cuz she ruined the gotdamn linoleum and grammy was PISSED." Riley was raised by his grandmother, who in his words, "was simultaneously the sweetest and most grumpy woman imaginable". While extremely loving towards him, she was also a bit naïve and preoccupied with her weekly bingo meets and book club.
Riley mostly had free reign of Strangerville as he grew older, which ended up getting him into some sticky situations and more than one mugshot before the age of 21. "Y'know, felons are a really valuable voting base... we all have a lot of conviction! Heh. That was bad, m'sorry." If you let him, he will rattle off every single interaction he has ever had with law enforcement, grinning from ear to ear the entire time. He likes to say he is a 'reformed man', despite still openly smoking spliffs in his front yard. "they could give a shit less about my spliffs, all the damn things I've done in this town.."
In his late 30's now, Riley has decided he's ready to settle down and live out the simple life he's always imagined. "I need me a lil' partner to settle down with, and we'll live the good life together right here. I'm a simple man at heart, all I really want is someone to love my dumb ass! I may be a lil' rough around the edges, but I'll treat my honey right. I have three gold teeth, y'know. I'd happily take a few out to go and buy a wedding ring. Do you happen to know anyone?.."
I ask him for some parting words. "When you live the life that I've lived, you really need some time and space to just completely experience YOURSELF, y'know? It goes by so quick, sometimes I wonder if I'll even have the time to wipe my damn ass. Well, here's to new beginnings and big laughs!" Riley then cheers with me, hands me a 'spliff for the road', and tells me to get the fuck off his property please.
Welcome to Living a Nightmare! This is a brand new Nightmare Legacy Challenge by yours truly. We are following these rules (story mode) by @matchacake. Riley Burns is our loving founder, a bit confused but ready to conquer whatever comes his way. How fast can we reach ten generations with our lifespan on short, and will Riley's lively personality live on through his descendants?
Riley's goals are to complete his aspiration before he becomes an elder, max two skills, have at least one child, and reach level 10 of his career. Will Riley be able to accomplish all of his goals and live a fulfilled life? Stay tuned to find out!

You Are My Mj
Zoyet (Zoya X Monet)
Pairing - monet de haan x zoya lott
Summary:
Zoya: Monet you are my MJ
Monet: What is an MJ?
Warnings - none
Word count - 1,057
While in Dumbo Hall, Zoya found herself overcome with boredom. She couldn't help but wish she had remained at home, resisting Julien's persuasive efforts to join in for a "girls" night out. Standing at the bar, she impatiently awaited the drinks that Julien had insisted she orders, all the while observing Julien engrossed in a small photoshoot using Luna's phone working on her angles.
Amidst her anticipation, Monet entered the scene, and Zoya's heart seemed to momentarily cease its beat. A history between Zoya and Monet remained hidden from prying eyes, a secret romance growing since Friendsgiving's fateful night. When Zoya discovered the shocking revelation of Obie and Julien's affair. That same night she left her apartment to keep her distance from Julien and found herself at Dumbo Hall. As the pieces of her world unraveled, she found solace at the bar, where Monet, too sought refuge. With the allure of alcohol, they bonded over shared experiences of familial complexities. They ended the night in a hotel room where they let their inhibitions go and shared a night of passion. From that very night, an unforeseen connection had formed, leading to a series of secretive rendezvous for weeks.
Initially, their connection had been purely physical, devoid of emotional entanglements. However, time and proximity had conspired, causing Zoya's sentiments to shift. The very person who had once been her tormentor had unexpectedly become the object of her affection. Zoya wanted to tell her she was falling in love with her but knew confessing it to Monet would only push her away. Expressing emotions was something Monet consistently avoided, and she was aware that disclosing her love would likely follow the same pattern.
Monet had walked in with her latest hairstyle, vibrant red hair with bangs. From the very first moment, Zoya laid eyes on Monet, she believed that Monet was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. There was not a single day where Zoya didn't feel like Monet's beauty took her breath away. However, seeing Monet flaunt this new luminous appearance sparked something within her. The coloring of Monet's hair brought to mind characters like Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" and Mary Jane from her favorite comic book and superhero of Spider-Man.
As Zoya watched Monet approach, she offered Monet a drink. "I got this for you, knowing you'd show up," Zoya admitted, a slight smile on her lips.
Accepting the drink, Monet playfully remarked, "Stalking me now, are we lil Z?" Playing into the appearance of not being friends, and proceeded to savor her martini. Monet's gaze shifted towards Zoya, who found herself unable to look away. "What is it?" Monet asks, her irritation evident.
Drawing strength from her drink, Zoya mustered the words she could. Nervously, she muttered, "Monet, you're my MJ," finally allowing her feelings for Monet to see the light of day.
Monet appeared puzzled, prompting her to ask, "What is an 'MJ'?"
Zoya sighed and playfully rolled her eyes, realizing she shouldn't have anticipated Monet to grasp the comic book reference. "Forget it. Let's join Julien," she suggested, reaching for the remaining drinks from the bartender.
*****
At school, Monet claimed her usual spot at the table where she and her friends would gather. While she waited for them to arrive, she took a moment to respond to a "good morning" text from Zoya that she had inadvertently overlooked earlier in the day as she had been preoccupied with getting ready for school.
Following, Aki skated up to the same table and hopped off his skateboard before taking a seat. "Hey, Monet," he greeted, his attention immediately drawn to her vibrant red hair. A warm smile spread across his face. "I like your hair."
Monet offered a gracious nod in response. "Hey, Aki. Thanks. I wanted to try something new."
He nodded in understanding. "I get it," he remarked, gesturing towards his pink buzzcut. "Trying something new can be fun, and it suits you. Reminds me of MJ."
Monet couldn't help but roll her eyes, growing increasingly irritated by the recent déjà vu of that same comment Zoya had made. "What the hell is an 'MJ'?" she vented in frustration, causing Aki to look perplexed by her sudden annoyance.
"Mary Jane?" Aki offered with simplicity. "She's Spider-Man's girlfriend? She is the love of his life, his everything."
Monet was taken aback, a sudden realization dawning upon her as she grasped the analogy and the intent behind Zoya's words. Zoya, in her nerdy way, revealed her genuine emotions. Referring to Monet as her "MJ" was Zoya's clever way of confessing that Monet was the person she cherished most, the love of her life.
"I've got to find Zoya," Monet declared, swiftly rising from her seat at the table and scanning the surroundings. Observing Julien's presence at school, Monet guessed that Zoya must also be around. She walked over to Julien. "Have you seen Zoya?" she asked urgently, to which Julien shook her head, implying no. Monet then resumed her quest through the school premises.
Her eyes then caught sight of Zoya at a table on the far side of the courtyard, engrossed in a book and sitting alone. Monet's voice rang out across the open space as she shouted, "ZOYA!" Without hesitation, she rushed toward her, closing the distance between them.
A hint of fear appeared on Zoya's face as Monet approached. Her mind raced, thoughts spiraling with worries like, "Did we get caught?” “Is she about to break up with me?" "Is she here to criticize or humiliate me?" Zoya mustered her nerves and asked, "What is it, Monet?"
A smile began to grace Monet's lips as she looked at Zoya. "I want to be your MJ," she uttered. Zoya's face changed from nervousness to confusion as she responded, "You...wha-"
Monet's actions cut off Zoya's words as she softly cups her cheek. Leaning in, she pressed her lips against Zoya's in a tender, unabashed kiss that speaks volumes of their connection. No longer concerned about the observers around them.
Zoya is taken aback by Monet's bold move. However, she is pleasantly surprised and finds herself reciprocating the kiss.
Monet pulls back from the kiss, their eyes locking in a moment of pure bliss and realization.
Monet is Zoya's Mary Jane. She is the love of her life, her everything.
The End

thinking of danny phantom aus and just headcanon stuff
pomegranate rules: eat enough ectoplasm/become contaminated enough and you will be stuck in the ghost zone(yall come get your Persephone hades au)
frozen au: Elsa! Danny and Anna!Jaz, Danny at his coronation as ghost king accidentally does some stuff that jeopardizes the kingdom out of pure anxious nerves
what if clockwork had a human alter ego and his sole income would be from predicting lottery numbers and stock prices making him practically the god of wall street, no one wants to play poker with him and he does palm reading on the side just for fun as a treat (only he can't read palms but as a time ghost he literally is omnipotent barring time stream altering events, now if only he would give clear advice and not cryptic sestinas)
pirate and merman au: mermaid shifter Danny, his parents are still scientists and want to study 'the humanoid fish monsters' only this is like the eighteenth century so their tools are just nominal torture devices and to escape he stows away on a ship, but it sinks, but he turns into a mermaid and lives! there he meets other mermaids and deep sea creatures but they don't like him for being only half a mermaid. it takes a while and meeting both jerks and nice people in equal measure but eventually he learns to embrace a piece of his identity fully. skip forward to 'x' amount of time later and he finds out that his sister set sail to find him but somehow became a pirate along the way. they meet and they talk there's feelings everywhere and Danny after so long just being a mermaid finds balance as a mermaid shifter with a foot on the sand and one in the tide but never far from either
coffee shop au: dan must do community service as a means to make up for his crimes, it's in the form of a coffee shop (somehow)(don't question it). but apparently he gets a little too into it and when someone asks why he's still there his response is 'what do you mean I've completed my community service years ago?' so in the end he's just some ghost with a magic coffee shop that shows up everywhere(maybe across dimensions even cough cough dcxdp crossover nudge nudge cough cough)
funny summons scenarios: one book said the summoner needed two hundred cursed idols arranged in a circle, they use Furbys and it works. Danny is terrified when he sees where he is and as a consequence his eldritch powers affect the electronics within the dolls and sets them on fire which terrifies him even more. it's a vicious cycle that only ends until he's burned them down into slag
dcxdp de-aged Danny: somehow Danny is de-aged maybe it was some accident from when Danny was helping clockwork clean his house or something, or maybe the Fenton parents made an ectoplasmic vacuum and sucked away some of Danny's ectoplasm causing his body to use its remaining mass to stabilize itself by making him a kid again. and it will be too hard to explain so cue jazz running away to Gotham with Lil Danny so their parents don't dissect him because this kid can't hide his powers for the half-life of him. and somehow she bumps into Talia or Bruce (take your pick) they hit it off while talking about kids and somehow it ends up as a scheduled playdate while Jaz also somehow becomes eligible for more programs (totally not through the good-hearted intentions of a super-secret assassin or gothic detective.)
dpxdc childhood rivalries: the Fentons went to college with this guy named bruce it was a shame he left so soon into the school year but they got on really well and even stayed in touch on and off through the years which led to lots of playdates between their families. but in dicks case he was a circus kid he could do a heckabunch of stuff and jazz even when being much younger had a competitive streak a mile wide it was a lighthearted competition but they both knew there could only be one victor. only Danny at the time just thought it was regular fighting, he and Jason had a sword fight only they used the antiques off the wall (Alfred was very displeased). by the time Tim came around the Fentons had fallen out of contact for a bit but eventually they go introduced to Tim hew as nice but between college student Jaz fourteen and a half Danny that still had to come to terms with half dying it wasn't great but it was a fun summer eventually. it's a Fenton Wayne family rivalry at this point and when Damian comes along and hears about it trust me when I say that it has been on site ever since. Danny drinking his coffee? stabbed. only for his opponent to either bend out of the way or just walk away just before he stabs Danny and Danny just says 'nice swing'. Danny sitting on the couch in the library reading a book? he's dropping down from the curtains only to be snatched up like a kitten and shown memes on Danny's phone instead. and when Bernard comes into the picture just witnessing all these feats of skill and ingenuity, and this is it. this is what makes him think that 'oh god these guys could be the batclan but wait whos this guy then?' Bernard searches but gets nothing and at the point where he just asks Danny to his face about which vigilante he is, and the response? "oh that was like three or four years ago, I'm retired don't tell anyone though my secrets is so illegal and dangerous you don't even want to know' and best of all is the Fentons, they are all clueless. they have no idea that the Wayne family is the batclan. it's a surprise to Danny but the thing is that he can't even consider it after all dick screamed at finding a caterpillar in his hair, Jason sneezes like a kitten and sure he might have the rage to put ten heads in a duffel bag but that dude? no, he gets sympathy pain from the tiniest things, it was like he was the one getting stitches rather than Danny after their failed sword fight. and Tim Tim? the guy that drowns in his oatmeal and once he gets to his eighth red bull starts speaking in ones and zeros? no none of these people could be vigilantes at all. and don't even think about saying bruce is batman the 'butts match' was a shitpost eight years ago and no one wanted to talk about bruce's butt, especially after the incident of '98 there was so much blood, also Danny remembers bruces thirty-second birthday, it was an escape room and the only way they all got out was through complete dumbassery and somehow abandoning their left socks, not. a single brain cell was used that day

Using mermay to motervate meself into Finally giving my oldest (most baby cinamon roll) OC the art and reference sheet he deserves!!!
Another meet Stingray folk. This is Tim. Or Tola or Tokla, or ToklaTima, or he who speaks for his highness. He has many names and he's my sea monkey Starbucks shape-shifting mermaid.
Notes:
Tola lives and works in Pacifica as a translator to Aphony and his guests. When not doing that as well as teaching lil uns plus, hes also learning about and documenting thier culture. (He's also trying to research his own which he was separated from.)
He then gets caught up in Stingrays shenagins and gets roped in to help, becoming an occasional translater/ emissary/ messenger/ guide for the WASPs and the humans point of contact.
Originally tolka set to appear in 'Seasick' but seeing as thats on hiatus and I love him so much I've kinda a little one seprate shot to introduce him
He/him pronouns. to place his age but I put him bout 18-24 ish human wise and maturity. He does have a baby face tho.
Originally more "lister from red drawf but in the sea," in personality my sweet sweet boy became a bit less of a lad then lister but I kept his hair thou. He likes to put beads or shells in his dreads.
Soon as he hits salt water boom tails stead feet. Very H2O and not in his control. Can transform in fresh water but more control.
His spepies can normally shape-shift with more control to resemble many things. but as he is half human his abilities are limited. Has three forms, human looking and mer although they take energy to maintain. His 'true' form settles between the two although it goes cause his body to flux a bit where helis weight settles in his body and can make him a little clumsy at times. Has feather like spines in his hair and along his shoulders.
Again half human. His mother was sudued by and 'married' a sailour. She and tola were castout from her home/people because this but settled in with a nomadic tribe (disappearing ships kinda vibes). His mothers people were then under Titains rule. Tolk Tried to find his father once. Didn't work but gave him an excuse to cross the oceans.
Has studied in London, Liverpool and Manchester (that's how he ended up being called tim) as well as several other cities. Swam in the cannels and rivers.
Can breath underwater but cannot go as deep as some species for as long. Very fast and strong.
Can speak and many languages both above and below including understand Pacfica and aquaphibians.
Always curious. Loves it when people info dump. Easily frightened but is brave still. Does try to seem cleverer then he really is sometimes. Strong bit shy.
Can often take things literally, Gets his words muddled a little and funny phrases. but again MULTIPLE LAUNGUES
Surfer dude meets dark academic. He loves human trinkets and bright colours but also librarys and books. Wold wear flipflops/sliders with suits.
Has a crush on Fisher. Still a little in awe of Marina and the Stingray crew.
Aphony is fond of him and Marina takes great delight in having someone to talk and relate to. Sophia despite her no nonsense attitude treats him as she does many of her young relatives. Josker absolutely affectionatly bullies the hell out of him.
And that's my boy! Hopefully finish it soon

Vaguely shape of water AU
Kaeya’s the prince of Khaenri’ah; he’s being led on a tour of the Abyss’s laboratory; they’re waxing poetically about how Khemia is about to leap forward by decades thanks to a recent discovery—
The abyss opens the door into a lab; inside, there’s a tank, and inside the tank is—
a mermaid from Enkonomiya, a creature so rare the world thought them extinct
Kaeya is /disgusted. “You’ve created mechanical marvels so wondrous as to be the envy of the gods themselves and you debase yourselves torturing a living creature?”
The Abyss is a lil flabbergasted and can only splutter and gape as Kaeya orders his retinue to fetch blankets and bring his car around. He keys in the royal override, emptying the tank and the mermaid out onto the floor, soaking their shoes and boots with whatever goo was in there
Kaeya gingerly gathers the mermaid into the blanket, saturating it with goo, and carries her to his car
idk if they return to his residence where she recuperates or if they go directly to the ocean
As he carries her from the lab, she rests her head on his shoulder
Except he smells like health and life and *meat*
*and she’s so hungry*
But he’s also taking her away from this bad lifeless place; it would be rude to eat him
When she presses her face to his neck, Kaeya shifts her in his arms and cradles her head
and he’s a liiiil weirded out when her teeth scrape over his skin
(They don’t cut him, she’s just letting him know they’re there)
She rubs her forehead against him, she nuzzles, then ever so lightly, ever so gently, she touches her teeth to his jugular.
Kaeya … he stops walking. Something deep in the ancient, primal part of his brain is screaming *DANGER*.
But the mermaid doesn’t bite down. She just returns her head to his shoulder.
Her skin, pulled tightly over her hands and cheekbones, seems sallow, and her scales dull. But maybe that’s just the dim light of the lab corridors. Or maybe—
“You must be starving.”
Kaeya has one of his retinue track down an office phone.
Upon their arrival, there’s a somewhat confused grocer waiting outside their store with a bag of stewing beef.
(Kaeya has them paid handsomely)
Kokomi pushes herself back off of Kaeya’s lap until she bumps the wall of the vehicle and props herself up.
Kokomi tries to be tidy. She has manners, after all. (Make it clean.) if she weren’t so *hungry* she would fret as to how much *tail* she has: it’s sprawled over kaeya’s legs, the bench, onto the floor. How it’s taking every drop of self control to keep her tail from lashing, to keep herself from becoming bloody ~~by killing~~. She’s so hungry she doesn’t notice the motion of the vehicle, that Kaeya swaps out the trays when they become empty, that she nearly takes some of his fingers off when he isn’t careful that one time.
Upon returning to the palace, kaeya carries Kokomi to the swimming and oh—
Kokomi stretches out and sinks to the bottom.
This is nice.
.
Over the next few days, Kokomi is living the life: Sure, the water’s a little stale and she would appreciate some cover, but she doesn’t have to spend a drop of energy on catching prey what with Kaeya (or his staff) bringing her food, she can rest and heal and recuperate.
Kaeya drags as much of his office into the room as he can and does most of his work by the pool.
He’s dictating a letter to his secretary (who’s paid not to raise an eyebrow at Kaeya’s antics) when they hear an unfamiliar voice from the water echoing Kaeya.
They attend Kokomi; she repeats what Kaeya had just said a second time, quite pleased with herself.
Kaeya immediately shucks his work and devoted himself to teaching Kokomi words.
By the time she’s grown restless in the pool, she can label Kaeya with his name and a dozen or so objects. Kaeya, in turn, can passably trill Kokomi’s name as well as “water” (or “home”, he’s not entirely sure).
.
Kokomi tries her best not to squirm too much when she smells the sea. She knows Kaeya can tell she’s excited; he murmurs things that sound nice in her ear.
(She likes the feeling)
Wisely, Kaeya cuts free the blankets around her tail before they leave the car.
This part of the coast has a fairly long sandbar; the car drives as close to the shore as it can, and Kaeya, barefoot, sets off with her in his arms.
The water’s as deep as his shins before he lets her go, setting her down gently on the sand (and soaking himself in the process). She twists herself to be under the water, and with one powerful push of her tail, she’s—
Once in open water, she /exhales. Corkscrews through the ocean, rinsing herself of surface air and lifelessness. She coasts for a minute, and then flips herself around and zips back to the surface.
“I was hoping you’d say goodbye,” says Kaeya.
Kokomi makes grabby hands.
Kaeya chuckles, tosses his sodden shirt aside, and wades out to her.
Kokomi takes his hand and pulls him off his feet and into her arms. She swims them out far enough that—
It’s just the two of them, hanging in space.
Kokomi wraps her arms his trunk and twines her tail around his legs and holds him tight.
Kaeya slides his hands over her back, holding her just as tightly. Feels the flutter of her gills against his skin. He presses his mouth to her neck.
Kokomi purrs, tangles her fingers in his hair. She tugs, just a bit, and when Kaeya lifts his head, she strokes his cheeks.
(She’s so blurry. Kaeya’s eyes /sting.)
Kokomi presses her mouth to his.
He kisses her back.
She sighs happily and leans in.
But then, she pulls away.
Her tail uncoils from his legs though … it does linger.
Kokomi grasps his arms. Kaeya sees the muscles in her shoulders flex, and then he’s rocketing towards the surface.
He looks back when he gets his feet back beneath him.
He swears there’s a pink dot on the horizon.
He takes his time returning to the car, climbing in, claiming he’s drying off.
(He’s sure the dot’s still there.)
His retainers finally coax him in.
.
That summer, he has a courtier head to the beach the day before his vacation is to begin and announce his arrival to the ocean.
He doesn’t bother unpacking upon arrival; he tosses his rucksack on his bed and immediately makes for the shore.
She isn’t there.
Kaeya slumps on the sand and in no way shape or form spends the rest of the day sulking or moping.
As the sun sets, his retinue coaxes him back inside. He pokes and prods at his supper (but, with much cajoling, does manage a few bites), and then drags himself to his room to most certainly not continue sulking or moping.
The next day, he sighs his way through breakfast and his retinue shoo him from the house (though they do so responsibly; a guard lurks on the beach).
Kaeya’s a pile of misery upon a rock when a hand reaches from the water, grabs his ankle, and yanks him in.
Kokomi, smiling brightly, has him pinned to the sand.
She can tell the moment his eyesight resolves and when he can tell it’s her; she kisses him silly.
Kaeya tangles his hands in her hair and kisses her back.

My god your yandere azul- octavinelle in general is just,, godly,,, chefs kiss,, and the last line of the azul royalty and captivity fic u wrote just haunts me i love it. A few months must have passed before reader realized she was pregnant, but i imagine azul became more obsessed, him thinking of becoming a family and holding the half mer-kid with his lovely not yet fish wife hahsh
But also maybe a little resentful at first?? Cuz the last line makes it sound like he was glad,, maybe a lil too excited? That he could put reader in the same situation as him. A lil sadistic if i may. And i just keep thinking of reader in an air tank, or a hollow cave, watching with her growing belly helplessly at azul trying to turn her into a mermaid gsushsjsj
I know im rambling but i just really loved the fic, and your azul, and your writing in general and i have no one to talk about this but i really neded to and uhhhhh ok thx bye!!
AAA thank you thank you!!!!!!! T_T ♥️
I struggled with the ending for a hot minute because I was torn between the various ways it could go. One ending consisted of the reader running into the twins instead of Azul and another consisted of the reader never crossing paths with Azul again and living her life with Leona while Azul's baby grows inside her. That final line was also different in the draft, but I'm glad I changed it to what it is now. It's more impactful!!
But you're right! Azul does indeed become more obsessed with reader as time passes. He's very restless and dedicates all of his time and effort to mastering transformation potions for reader's sake. His separation anxiety is at its worst; he's so worried that it'll be too late and he'll never see reader again, so he works tirelessly until he can finally walk on land. He also kept the shell necklace that reader was wearing on her wedding day (it broke off in the struggle when he pulled her into the pool). But a necklace isn't the same as reader, so he definitely wants to find her as soon as possible.
Azul is also resentful of the fact that reader's family held him in captivity for so many years and then she decided to cast him aside like he was worthless, as if the time he spent with her meant nothing. Obviously he misinterprets her wanting to release him as something negative when in reality the reader just wants him to go back home so that he can be with his family in the ocean without any constraints. So when he realizes that he can take reader and put her in the same situation where she'll have to learn to adapt and love it, he's happy. Perhaps that way she'll end up falling for him like how he fell for her.
Azul's definitely going to keep her in an underwater cave of sorts that has an air pocket and a small strip of land for her to rest on while he works to transform her into a mer like him. Even if he's angry at her, he'll immediately soften up when he learns she's pregnant.

Transformation AU anon:
The picture also includes a werewolf tucker :3 (because that really does seem like something he'd do). maybe not Sam because I HC she didn't become friends with them til later, but also a mermaid halloween costume doesn't seem like something lil' Sam would do.
Loving the idea of other creatures not believing Danny exists, meanwhile all the ghosts are like "oh yeah, we all know his secret ID". upping his cryptid status even among other cryptids lol (speaking of: that's totally also Dani/Ellie's Thing). But yeah given how Amity Park seems to be ghost central but doesn't say much else about, say, yetis, I'd absolutely believe all these different supernatural factions are pretty isolated and don't believe the others exist. Like, I think I read a fanfic once where Danny was like "wait, the Jersey Devil/Mothman/etc. exist???" so that seems to be the general vibe. (Again, totally should be Ellie's thing given how much she travels. :D let's have her be the liaison to the Jersey Devil/Mothman/etc when Danny and co need something from them rather than ghosts/mermaids/werewolves/fae!)
Except that ghosts of, again, YETIS exist, so I imagine ghosts are the only ones who do know all the factions exist but it's so normal to them it's often glossed over (also, whoever discovers ghosts exists are probably already dealing with THAT crisis, figuring out others exist probably isn't really the first thing on their mind atm). Like... Wulf is totally a werewolf right? Probably died in his wolf form and got stuck in it. But people are stuck on the fact that he's a ghost to really examine the fact that he's a werewolf. It just kinda gets passed over for the idea that the afterlife exists lol.
But yeah the whole... fighting other supernatural creatures thing probably isn't... normal in their own communities. Like, humans don't really go around vigilante-ing criminals in a non-superhero-comic world, there's usually already a precedent for how those things are dealt with (ie. Walker and Pariah Dark and the Observants existing means there's SOME kinda law in the GZ). So like, werewolf packs having beefs with each other or vampires or whatever is probably normal to them and they're grumpy about it but they don't really change what they're doing, and then in comes Tucker shooting an ecto-gun at the antagonist pulling all the strings between the packs with printed proof of their crimes he hacked from their computer and resolving the issue that they were having because it wasn't really an issue it was just a guy manipulating them? Not Normal, for sure. Even Danny is probably seen as a little weird for defending the humans so much, I bet. They're all just a little Off to their respective communities and it's sometimes very little to do with the fact that they're formerly human. They just don't fit, don't act right, even if (for instance) Sam is trying to learn their ways because she's very conscious of cultural appropriation, or Jazz is learning their rules because she gotta act like them to survive. And then there's the intermingling as you mentioned--like, "a werewolf?? hanging with a FAE??" and "the new ghost king is maybe courting the potential new mermaid royalty??? wait, ghosts EXIST?" and "did you see that weird fae girl hanging with that cryptid?" the gossip must be WILD among the supernaturals.
But anyway moving on, Doyle going from a reluctant sidekick to #1 cheerleader is absolutely a perfect dynamic (I LOVE that image you described of Doyle hanging over her shoulder insulting her enemies) because y'know what Jazz needs more friends. Let Doyle be a real friend. Heck let Doyle get mad about the fact that aside from the Transformation Trio group, she doesn't really have other friends? Also Doyle being the one to teach her more about music and dancing and other fae culture stuff (I do agree she'd be able to pick up dancing pretty well! she's fairly coordinated with the Jack-o-Nine-Tails and also she does cardio and stuff!) but I love the idea that singing is something Jazz will continually struggle with. Gotta have SOME downsides and all.
And I kinda like Sam getting hit with all kinds of irony so I'm a little fond of her not really having sharp teeth... or visible fangs anyway. And I JUST had the thought that instead of the FANGS, she gets like, those serrated shark-like teeth? Like Kirishima from MHA! Since Sam is a mermaid, she doesn't really need fangs, but the other type of teeth would be far more useful! (Also looks hecka cool actually. Besides, Sam did always like being unique and individual!)
But yeah Val can be the odd-one-out, it's fine. I mean theoretically she can probably manifest her own fangs or whatever (I'm imagining black nano-bot made fangs with red techy designs!) though having the one person not smiling at all can also be hilariously scary to whoever they're threatening. On the subject of Valerie though, I was trying to figure out how she really fit into the transformation trio AU because all the others are gaining responsibilities and stuff, and she's just kinda the secondary ghost hunter next to Danny. And after Danny becomes king it's probably less necessary for her to do much of it. But then like... she's really strong, and after the need for vengeance passes she still ghost hunts anyway and proves to be wanting to do this for more noble reasons like legitimately protecting people, and she has that whole secret identity to the public thing (where as Tucker, Sam, and Jazz are all secret identities in private--yeah they don't want anyone to know, but also no one SEES them going around in public doing heroic things because of the nature of the hidden supernatural world requiring a little more stealth than Danny going out in public and having grand fights with ghosts). Valerie has all the makings of a comic book superhero. So what if she gets the DC/MCU crossover in this AU? (like, Tucker got Teen Wolf and Sam got H2O) Like, her responsibilities will lean more toward keeping people safe from HUMAN crimes rather than supernatural ones?
(It starts with a ghost hunting patrol, where it's quiet that night, and she hears a mugging going on--of course she goes to help. And it happens more and more, until she finds herself stopping robberies and murderers more than ghosts and supervillains. And it just kinda naturally becomes her Thing, and no one really notices because she does still do the ghost hunting thing too. Except Danny's got that covered, so... idk she just kinda grows into it.)
But yeah this sounds like a massive undertaking and amazing crossovers. I wish I had the skill and dedication to write it all but ;;;;; ahh I can only wish. I'm more of an ideas person haha. It sounds like it could be a cool collaboration though, like each character/perspective is written by different authors, which only authenticates the differences in narration/storytelling when crossovers between the supernatural communities do happen. That sounds like it'd be real fun. Here's to hoping someone gets inspired anyway~
lol these are just gonna keep getting longer and longer, aye? that is not a bad thing as far as i'm concerned
yes to tucker being included. i'm okay with sam not becoming friends with them until middle school. but while mermaid isn't a costume she'd choose for herself, it is something her mom would choose for her. so i could see her wearing a mermaid costume at a time before she was allowed to choose her own clothes and making a face the entire time.
dani definitely encounters weird thing and develops her cryptid person more than danny does just because she's traveling. i'd argue danny has the advantage of time just because he tends to time travel and has probably been recorded while out on missions for clockwork. but dani at very least has urban legend status and is far more likely to meet spooks that way. that could probably be her thing, knowing and interacting with urban legends. that could be a lot of fun. i'm just imagining her becoming best friends with the slit mouth woman and bloody marry. there's a lot of adventures to be had with that. especially because she's scary in her own way.
there is a certain irony once again that danny's secret identity effects mainly his human side and that the ghosts know who he is but just don't care. other creatures being rather secular and probably keeping out of amity if they can help it has vibes. i do genuinely beleive all my kids deserve to be legends onto themselves. i just can't help seeing danny as that little bit extra because how he was created was so odd. dani shares that. and jazz would be rare but not unheard of. sam is also fairly rare but not as rare as jazz. and then tucker is fairly normal among werewolves if not for the company he keeps. val is also probably the first of her kind, but not many know about her yet and i don't see her having a community the way the others do. that's a bit sad, but her friends can be her community for now. i suppose despite the bonding with the suit part she does technically count as a halfa so she can be a member of that growing circle. in a way all the halfas are unique in how they were made, and technically danny is probably the only one you could call a true halfa. dani is unique as a clone. vlad is unique in his ecto-contamination making the transformation gradual. so val letting the ghost nanites/armor become part of her can be it's own thing.
i also like the implied chillness in the ghost community about different species. there is a psychological element in the formation of ghosts so a lot of them probably just assume that different ghosts just look like that rather than make the connection that oh, no this is the ghost of a werewolf. this is a ghost of a yeti. those are real. ghosts also tend to be wrapped up in their own personal thing, so somehow racism isn't really that much of a thing in the zone, unless it's something they're bringing from when they were alive. so for instance prince aragorn brought his sexism with him from when he was alive but he probably doesn't have a problem with the various forms ghosts take. meanwhile i suspect that with how secular the various other communities seem to be, racism will probably be a thing for them in different degrees.
we talked about how sam kinda needs to earn her place among the mermaids, but since they're somewhat endangered they're more likely to welcome her into their community. they just don't respect her until she starts fighting for them. jazz is feared and disliked in equal measure as a name stealing human. tuckers community is probably to most relaxed after danny's. there's more awareness of the other communities existence, and the idea that monsters have to work together against the greater human threat. tucker is also a born werewolf so theirs less to hold against him. but i imagine there are definitely harmful stereotypes about the various different monsters and that'll come up sometimes.
you're right that they probably self police and cover their own asses when it comes to various disputes and such. and you're right that the spooks (i'm shifting towards calling this the 'spook au' instead of transformation trio because there's more in the group than the trio. and spooks cover what they are.) are weird for their respective communities. i think one of the biggest things about them is that they're loud. they are not subtle when entering situations and fighting. they are basically clumsily stumbling into what ever situation they enter and trampling over traditions and any attempts of subtlety by just being themselves. they were all brought into the paranormal first by fighting ghosts. that was never subtle. they're undeniably powerful warriors. when they fight, they win. especially when they call on their friends for help. but as far as the various communities are concerned, non have heard of subtlety in their live. ironically except when they're pulling on over on the community leaders.
their group just in general is regarded as a THREAT. they're too powerful. they're too reckless. they're weird. they seem to handle anything thrown at them. and they're friends with each other. they're legends. they probably have a whole mystique around them when it comes to the stories told about them. the whispers even in the ghost zone about the halfa have the tone of 'watch out, they'll steal your children in the night. legend says they're undefeatable and the only thing you can do when you see them is run and pray they don't catch you'. meanwhile the group are getting up to the stupidest shenanigans together at home. doing dumb little contests of powers getting stuck to things. making mistakes. and lying their ass off to explain why theirs a big dog driving their car. they're just clumsy disasters doing their best.
doyle is great. it makes me think we need more friends and characters from each world. but yes jazz deserves all the friends. she's so good. i will say spike from episode 1 can be her friend. no one expects it but them actually being quite close is cute. also has a sort of dramatic irony because she's such a prep but narratively loves rock music, and befriends people like spike and and johnny and kitty. is she secretly edgy? eh, not really, but she's hard to turn away and she's so freaking earnest. she just deserves good things.
for the other groups friend. well tucker at least can have some cousins or extended family that he gets to know and who introduce him to the monster world. i'm highly inclined to give sam and animal companion, flounder style. she could also accidentally befriend someone with an opposite personality/style to her among the mermaid. like a typical in every way mermaid princess but who's secretly a badass. similar to dora, i suppose but not naive about it. more i have a duty and can't show who i am without social consequences. danny has already been gradually making friends with the ghosts. as the story goes on they can all probably make more and more friends. it's just fun to have specific buddies.
i'm still leaning towards sam having teeth more suited towards eating vegetation. but have more teeth in her mouth than normal for a human.
superhero val, aye? i am absolutely down with that. she is motivated by justice and protecting people at this point. danny also is but as king he's kinda busy. so val taking on a role as a superhero to humans is fun and cool. i'm actually inclined to say this would happen before super heroes are considered a thing. like she would be one of the forerunners of it. contemporary with batman and superman. some of the other dc characters have been around for ages. and likewise have their own societies before becoming official superheroes, but heroes in their own right. i'm now 100% on board for sam meeting and sassing aquaman. aquaman who is the kind of Atlantis and definitely outranks her. maybe theirs some rivalry between saltwater and freshwater mers. she's definitely smaller than him just in general. i would definitely say she's scarier than him though.
now i'm imagining batman coming to recruit val to his superhero team and just everyone else coming with her. he probably only knew about danny but didn't want to recruit him because of the bad press associated with him. everyone else was probably news to him. i could see the other heroes having limited knowledge of the various societies. so aquaman knows about the mermaids. wonder woman is aware of the monsters and to a lesser extent the fairies. and so on. but yeah finding this whole group as a package deal. also their various powers being written off as being a super hero thing is always grand. so joining the hero doesn't even technically out them. they're just considered metas. the whole team would be good superheroes and strictly speaking that's what they are for their various worlds. val would be considered their leader and be the main known entity among the humans though. she ends up the face of their group to the supers because she's the one who spends the most time saving humans. well dani too, but she's a cryptid so no one's sure she exists. also val joining the science gone wrong crew. her, danny, flash, and cyborg all being the result of science is fun to me. they're vibing. now i'm also thinking about how to get an alien into their group...
it's wes, isn't it? alien wes would be hilarious. he wouldn't even be part of their group because they don't like him but as the story progresses having him reluctantly work with them because of his own shenanigans. powerful. he will receive no end of shit for it though. he was such a nuisance before that it's what he deserves. i'm also imagining a scenario where one of the crew accuse him of being an alien and just... the populars and entire school believing it without question. after years of doubting every accusation he'd ever mad, the moment a rumor is started about him it's believed fully. he hates it. thankfully no one in casper high particularly cares or is freaked out that he's an alien. they aren't going to turn him over to authorities. they deal with ghosts, an aliens not that weird. it's just so frustrating for him. especially because they still don't believe his accusations about the other spooks.
oh man a collaboration would be nice. and easier on me. because i'm not going to write the fic for this. i do enjoy bouncing ideas though. there's no shame in presenting the sketches and never making the full art piece you know. we're still putting the ideas out there. and i'm definately having fun talk about this - Hestia

This is a very and most important question.....
How does one draw such magnificent eyelashes on characters like yours!? Plz teach us your ways, oh glorious one!!
I'm flattered by the wording of this request, oh my dear anon, but- I have absolutely no idea how to make a tutorial about that :,>
All I can say is to first approach them as if it was just make-up, to have an easier time finding the shape, and then treat them as if they were 3D bits. Also go absolutely H A M.. responsibly-
If the eyes are the window to the soul then eyelashes are the curtains- which means they are great to change the feeling of a certain character!
(Under the cut there are a few of my reasonings for certain of my "eyelashes' choices"- it's the best way I could explain my process with them whoop,,)
Warden!Ingo
His eyes in game look tired yet haunted- to keep that feeling I didn't want to put too much weight on the upper-lid, so I added a white/empty streak on top for a lighter yet "droopy" feel. The weight is mostly on the lower-lid for the "tired but hasn't slept in days" look. The lil' triangle shape is just a nod to the black and white triangles the submas twins are usually represented by-! (Emmet has a smaller one, can't show it since his eyes are always covered in all my serious art of him;;)
Sayu
She is an adorable mermaid who is sweet and upbeat- so I keep her lashes lighter/empty to let them have a more open eye. The rounded bits are meant to recall bubbles, both for her bubbly personality and for well.. the sea. The longer lash is meant to be a nod to the Anglerfish' light- mostly because of their last phase where she turns into a deep-sea version of themself.
Piers (never posted them but I did sketch him a few times,,)
His eyes look tired even when he widens them, plus in-game he has them "panda eye" lids-.. I'll be real here, his actual eyelashes are the darkest bit of that whole thing, the rest is make-up. I thought it'd fit him more as the goth gym leader and elder bro he is, he is the type for dramatic make-up but not dramatic eyelashes. (this is why I put him here, he is an example of "go ham but responsibly" ahah). I still tried to have it looking weirdly soft- to fit his laid back person.
Mettaton Ex
An absolute robot diva, he absolutely needed that drop-dead stare!- I also tried to bring in a bit of the retro-manga heavy upper lash and lower sharp little lashes (well in this case "lash"). The lid is a contrast to the sharp eyelashes, it's softer- I wanted to call back to when he was still a shy ghost because his transition is very important to me <3
Pure!Lance (may you rip in the wip folder;;)
(SPOILERS for the Balan Wonderworld Novel)
This is where I went H A M. I wanted them to feel like an angel just seconds before falling. Eyelashes become wings which are losing their feathers, the lower lashes looking like tears. They're elegant but big, heavy, they cloud their vision just how his mind was clouded by love, desire to help.
This is me going all out with poetic liberties and saying "ciao-ciao" to any realism ahah.
Rouxls
Goop. I wanted him to have goop/gelatine eyelashes. White to match their hair and I just imagine them wobbling around whenever he moves. No thoughts, just gelatine eyelashes.
The white though makes them both heavy and light- permitting a wider range of emotions. Perfect for that "GODDAMMIT" of theirs.
Human!Neon
An old eye, I know it isn't that realistic but I wanted him to have overgrown eyelashes. Soft yet heavy, with a hint of eccentric, a tired yet lively captain first of an army and now of a boyband. The fluffy lashes slightly cover his vision but he doesn't care much, is not like he has the same good eye he had when younger.. or a whole ass radar on the other- yeah must be because of one of the two ahah.
Human!DJSS
A rare example from me of less is more. They already have a lot going on with both their eyes and skin, so a lighter approach is needed to not over do their face. I went with a lash that mixes with the lid, almost looking like make-up. It's simple but still striking.
Frisk
I headcanon them as blind, since their sprite looks like they have perpetually closed eyes. The overgrown/fluffy lashes come back once again! Same reasoning of Neon though- for me it gives a feeling of eyes that aren't used much. Also children are often represented with very visible lashes, so I guess it's also an exaggeration of that.
Sweetheart (rip in the wip folder- but not in peace <3)
Adorable at first glance, manipulative and blood/attention thirsty in reality- yeah I'd say it matches certain carnivorous flowers. I wanted her lashes to resemble petals and pistils (the type certain plants use to lure in insects to eat). They're quite heavy on top both to have THAT look (you know- the smug? Yeah) and also to be able to pull off a more "innocent" look if needed. The heart is just to tie in her design and name.

i have a ✨mighty need✨ to know more abt The Legend of the Old Mariner pls 🤍
Obiknights! Thanks for the ask! <3
This is a fic I've been working on and off for a little bit that dives into the lore of the Old Mariner and how he came to sell mermaid pendants on the beach-it's a story about curses and love and mermaids and I think it could be awesome if I sat down and actually worked on it properly! It's going to be told from the perspective of Will Mariner, the Grandson of the current Old Mariner, here's a lil snippet:
What are legends, if not half-truths drenched in the minds of those who are the most nostalgic for the past?
This is the story of my father, and his father, and his father's father. A cycle of men, living, dying, and returning and how the cycle itself has become legend. We exist just like the salmon that come up and spawn in the shallow waters each spring. And just like the salmon that spawn, our family has been cursed to die in the shallow waters where the river meets the Gem Sea.
