Nhmhhhnmnggh this is so cute im suffocating

Okay so like. IMAGINE it starts pretty usual. Swerve hangs out in the Aquarium for whatever job related reason and accidentally makes friends with the weird looking fish hahah

But then the big Tsunami-flood apocalypse comes and everything is destroyed and water everywhere and all the buildings turn into sharp heavy deadly rubble and now Swerve has to team up with that weird looking fish because the end of the world contains A LOT of water and he never was a good swimmer

“Good human”

When the human so clever, Blurr just has to give him praise. What did Swerve do to deserve it? Idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blurrfish for @keferon.

I know what you mean! I am currently infected by several such ideas - at first it was just Frieren, but then I found the Mecha Pilot Jazz and Monster Hunter AUs by Keferon and just couldn't help myself!😆😆😆 Currently I am also writing a chapter on the Monster Hunter AU with a time-traveling Brainstorm, but it is still under work.

I can't wait to see what you have cooking up next!

apocalyptic ponyo au!! ft. shockweaves little menaces. @keferon

One week had passed since Skids saw the ocean swallow their city whole. 

It happened during one of those lazy days in the Dead End: with the cold season drawing near, few people roamed the dirty narrow alleys, more preoccupied scavenging for a place to settle down and spend the winter. He and his sort-of-not-really-adopted bunch of siblings had the luck to find an old gazebo made of sheets of rusted metal, basically a five star abode especially when your main concerns where a) not getting pissed on by the sky and b) find an actual place able to hold ten scruffy kids.

And even with nothing, life was good- or as good as it can get. Not having to fend and fight on the streets for yourself, having someone to bicker and argue with for the stupidest little things but still knowing everyone will have your back until the very end. The nights spent huddled together for warmth while Thundercracker, being the only one who knew how to read, dramatically re-enacting the scenes from a fairy-tale book and when storms so loud the walls of their shelter shook hit the city, you could pick out the soft humming of Damus, lulling the younger kids back to sleep. 

Yeah, life wasn't anywhere near perfect but it was enough.

But now...

The partially sunken landscape could suck all hope from one's soul. The once lively and bustling city was now a wet husk of rubble and toppled buildings. Abandoned vehicles and all sorts of trash floated on the surface, littering the water for miles. He was honestly impressed at how fast it all went down- them barely making it out only thanks to their shitty shelter, that served as a make-shift raft until they eventually reached a patch of dry concrete.

They've been walking for a few hours now, trudging between shallow water and debris, never daring to test their luck and trying to swim- they all got a taste of what lurked in the deepest parts during their little trip on their rackety raft and came to a general consensus to give those areas a very wide berth and not risk their lives more than they were already.

With a last distrustful look aimed at the water, he re-adjusted the heavy weight of the shotgun strapped on his right shoulder and walked away from shore, joining the others at their new alcove. 

 \\\

Finding a place to truly call their main base of operation was surprisingly easy- the mess of destroyed and eroded buildings that titanic wave left behind made for a pretty cushy place if you ignored the smell of seaweed and moist drywall. 

They were separated from the main patch of dry land and the chance of encountering any survivors was nearly slim to none- not that he was complaining or anything, less the possibility of meeting any hostile adults and being stripped of what little resources they had. From the wrecked remains of the city they managed to find quite a few useful things, but sadly not enough for ten kids. The food was especially low, the only way was fishing and catching it themselves but they had already established it as a big fat No. 

As the evening was slowly closing in, everyone was working to start their nightly routine. The oldest kids were in charge of the fire, which usually entailed watching TC read the partially wet copy of "Little Survivalist" to a very much not interested Trailbreaker and Windcharger. At the mouth of their shelter Soundwave was meticulously arranging their sleeping mats, while Skywarp sorted their blankets. Skids was chosen to stand guard today and soon after Damus would join him to keep watch on the others while they slept. 

Main while Bluestreak and the twins where- uhm. Where were they actually?

"Yo, 'Warp! Have you seen the little goblins?" Skids approached the teen, still intent in choosing the softest blanket for himself- aft. 

"Ah-what? Uhh, i think they wanted to explore the area but it wasn't my turn babysitting them so..." The other shrugged, returning to his task. 

"I swear if they come back with another mutated crab I'm going to lose it." 

"Naaw, everyone loved Bob, why do you have to be such a grump?"

"Well, if 'Bob' had the courtesy to try and not pinch me while I was slee-" 

A shrill scream broke their conversation. 

In a second all of them were at their feet or reaching for their nearest weapon as they watched the small shapes of the twins quickly getting closer. Sideswipe and Sunstreaker were sprinting towards them at full speed, and when they arrived they almost toppled Skids over, while still screaming and shouting frenetically. 

Witnessing this, Damus came swiftly forward to try and assess the situation. 

"C'mon guys, deep breaths- what's going on?" The oldest tried to sooth. 

"BLUE IS DEAD! THAT THING GOT HIM AND IT'S MY FAULT" Sideswipe screeched snatching both of Damus sleeves like a lifeline. 

"Whoa- hey 'Sides-" 

"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! But me and Sunny wanted to take a closer look- But turns out it was napping! And we tried to run but Blue fell and he hurt himself and that thing sNATCH HIM UP!! HE'S DEAD AND- AND IT'S MY FAULT!!"

After that the thirteen year old broke into a storm of unconsolable blubbering sobs- they all looked at each other in the eyes: 'Sides and Sunny were known for two things, being unsufferable little shits and that they never cried. Even when sad or scared they were used to put on their brave faces and endure like how they were taught. 

So a crying or upset twin meant trouble. 

Damus, understanding this quickly shifted his behavior and started barking orders to the others: he, Trailbreaker and Skids would go and find Blue the rest were to remain at the shelter and prepare in case they needed to flee as fast as possible. 

With that they braced their weapons and ran into the direction the twins came. 

\\\

He felt his heart beating in his throat as they ran towards whatever had attacked the youngest children. He couldn't help but picture small innocent Blue, laying on the shore motionless, a pool of blood beneath him- NO! Blue was okay! He had to be! And they were going to make sure of that. No one was keeping him from getting his littlest brother to safety. 

When they reached the shore, the smell of blood didn't greet them like they were all secretly dreading- but something else did. 

Something much, much worse. 

Bluestreak had always been a talkative little bugger- one of his siblings would sometimes even catch him talking to himself or inanimate objects when none of them were around. He always held conversations all by himself, jumping from topic to topic without catching a breath. 

However Blue wasn't really the type of kid to talk to strangers without getting shy and ducking behind one of the others for safety. 

Apparently, following little Blue logic- GIANT FISHMEN don't count as strangers.

"...and so I thought it would be cool, you know? but then 'Sides told me that I would get worms but I don't mind worms! They can be cute if you aren't a little baby who gets scared of everything and TC reads to me a lot so I know I won't get worms but I'm still very careful you never know..." The young boy happily ranted away as he sat snugly under the fish- man? argh! The mermaids giant flippers. 

The huge being wasn't bother at all by the little morsel chatting away at him- on the contrary, it looked fond of Blue as he let the kid talk. Skids almost pulled the trigger as he looked as the fishman slightly moved his massive head to nuzzle Blue in a show of complete affection. (if Skids strained his ears he could almost hear the soft vibrations the giant fish was producing) 

Only then, as he was giggling like mad, did Bluestreak notice them as he lifted his left hand and waved frantically at them. 

"HI GUYS!! LOOK WHO I FOUND!! SAY HI TO SIR. PANCAKE!!" 

He felt Trailbraker sagging beside him as his weapon almost slipped from his grip. 

"...what the actual fuck."

Saw @keferon’s apocalyptic ponyo au, got inspired.. and drew mer-Blurr (Blurrfish...?) as a Zora from the Legend Of Zelda!

Zora Blurr is a part of the Zora Royal Guard, a noble, and is about 100 years old - so, a man of maybe 25 in human age.

He’s friendly, talks a bit too fast, and aspires to be the best guard he can be!

[keferon]

Okay but just imagine Blurr and Swerve run into some more mers who recognise Blurr & ask for his autograph, that's gotta be surreal for a human to watch

When Blurr gets access to fish twitter again he finds out he's being cancelled for messing with wildlife & he's just like

Yeah not going home until this blows over then

I think it would be fun to see the difference groups run into eachother also, like sen shockwave + his kids or jazz & prowl

LMAO

Some group of random Mers: BLURR????? OH MY GOD CAN WE GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH??? A SELFIE?? PLEASE?????

Swerve: Are you like……popular??

Mers: THE WHOLE CITY WAS LOOKING FOR HIM THIS ENTIRE TIME

Swerve: But he was just? There? Looking for me?

Swerve:

Swerve: oh. oh.

[keferon]

WOOOOAKAJAAAANDNFNNFBF OH MY GOD PLEASE YOURE SPOILING ME

Quick Blurrfish AU drawing :3

@keferon 🫡 I’m multitasking my hyperfixation, watching J Decker at the same time, I love all the team…..for what I saw they have a very strong attachment towards eachother and I love this aspect a lot

[keferon]

Idk, I think that's pretty fishy of him

I was debating if I should even do this but my friend beat me to it

Anyways I remembered that I have a fishy Knock out to redesign

GASP

SO PRETTY I LOVE IT

[keferon]

Since it's half subnautica, would Lost Light be big like an Reaper?

Wait, how big is Blurr compared to humans?

Imma be honest I know almost nothing about creatures in Sibnautica I mostly just saw it's aesthetics...

Also I'm considering making Blurr smaller because I need Swerve to be able to carry him in case of. A situation. And also because mermaids being bigger than humans is very popular trope in fanfics and I just wanna do something new.

Like imagine. Having a big Mer in a story is epic yes. But what if you could put him in a big backpack? Like the hiking one? What if Blurr is actually small and can't fight sharks and creatures and stuff? So he either has to be faster than them or go hide above the water with Swerve~

[keferon]

Do you see what i see ?

At least the first one.

Yes yes YES I was also thinking exactly the same fish for Blurr. Wait what's the...sailfish right? It's gorgeous It's pointy and it's the fastest fish in the world. Literally perfect~~

Although I can't exactly tell who you see being an octopus. Because in my head it's Swindle. It is Swindle right?

Nevermind. LEMME OFFER YOU A CONCEPT.

Mermaid/human pairing. But it's in the middle of tsunami or biiig fucking flood kind of apocalypse. There are mutated and dangerous creatures in the water. There's also other..like..aggressive survivors on the surface so it's just as dangerous.

And in all this mess we have a mermaid and a human character who have to work together to survive and escape the flooded and infested city.

I'm talking this kind of aesthetic~

Or. Well. Or don't mind me and think of something more Disney-like? Idk haha

[keferon]

RAAAAAHHHHFMFMLFKFMFKF

Is Swerve shorter than Blurr or is it the other way around?

Well. Blurr is longer than Swerve but he can't really stand up to become "tall" instead of being long haha

In my head they have roughly the same mass but Swerve is shorter and wider while Blurr is longer and thinner. He needs a long tail to swim fast after all>:)

[keferon]

The Blurrfish au just gives me Subnautica's vibes.

I imagine it being like half subnautica half platformer because everyone forced to navigate either underwater ruins or above water ruins >:D

Damn imagine like. Blurr and Swerve trying to navigate a collapsing skyscraper or something

[keferon]

A few ideas for a new name to the Blurrfish au!

---

Current race

Deep dive

Fishy business

Blue bottom

---

Just a bunch of silly ideas

Those are good but I don't think any of us will ever be able to invent something better than "Apocalyptic Ponyo" haha
