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

What if Blurr was not a tiny pointy swordfish but a giant dude.

This is based off Keferon’s mers AU but I did my own thing with it so I don’t think I need to tag them X) there’s already a looooooot of fanarts for the AU I saw everywhere hehe

Also what if the diver is swindle or swerve.

Wasn’t going for a tumblr post at first but I lowkey slayed with this one so it’s your treat, my friends

“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.

Inspired by this ⬇️

AU by @keferon :)

[the-starry-lycan]

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!

YAY! I am so happy reading this! Shockwave is so chill and picking up children while the kids are freaking out, well mainly Damus, but still very fun!

Although... when the kids do end up traveling with Shockwave, how would Ravage fare? He's a cat and doesn't like water, poor thing is so NOT suited for the pirate life the kids will be picking up in the meantime. Maybe they could put together a raft so Shockwave can take them around with him?

Pt.2 Apocalyptic Ponyo AU ft. Shockwave and his menaces @keferon

If there was something you learned while living in the ugly, rotten and forgotten parts of the city your whole life, it was that trust was to be given away scarcely and returned fiercely. 

Damus learned this lesson fast. Abandoned beside a squalid garbage bin after his guardian couldn't afford to take care of him anymore- not that they tried in the first place anyway. Life got only more complicated from there: food and shelter were always scarce and had to be fought for, especially if you were a scrawny kid like him and had to tussle and shove middle-aged junkies daily, to be able to scavenge inside the most recent load of trash from the local shitty restaurant in hopes for some lukewarm scraps. 

And then years passed and he became less and less alone. Other kids joined him and life became just a tad bit more bearable. He slowly warmed up to them, feeling for maybe the first time the warmth of what could resemble a family, even if his was little and a bit broken. They looked out for each other: yes the older kids obviously held the most authority and weight out of all of them, but it wasn't unusual to see the twins putting on their best intimidating appearances and stand tall in front of any adult after they dared pick on one of their older siblings- he had seen the scratches and bite marks covering the poor soul who tried to steal Windcharger's lunch...

It had always been left unsaid, but it was clear they loved and cared deeply for each other- that sort of care that looked rough and jagged from an outsider perspective, but it was their kind of love and nobody- adult or whatever could ever have a say in this. 

The beast followed the gaze of its small prisoner and finally locked eyes with the new arrivals. Sharp cat-like blue eyes curiously took in the presence of the remaining kids, with its mouth slightly open in surprise, the monster tilted its head and from its throat came forward a small melody of clicks and trills. 

But it was when you cared so intensely that even at the mere prospect of losing something so dear, your body and soul started betraying you.

He felt it when the apocalypse hit and now... as he watched Blue- young, naive and kind Blue, caged behind a massive wall of sharp teeth and even sharper claws, smiling happily, without a care in the world.

Damus felt his heart sink. God, what did he do in a previous life to deserve this? When he caught himself moving forward on shaky legs, it was already too late. His brain was in overdrive. He had to get the kid out of this situation now. 

"...Blue, buddy, I want you to listen to me very carefully." His throat felt dry and the hands that were clutching his weapon were clammy with sweat. 

"Uh? O-okay." The younger kid briefly looked at his captor before returning his focus on his brother. 

"...walk slowly towards me and hide behind us." 

"What?! Dee I'm not in danger yeah I know Sir. Pancake can be a bit intimidating at first even *I* was scared but he patched up my knee with some sea moss I don't know *how* he knew how to do that but-" 

"Buddy please- just- sigh come here Blue!" He hated interrupting his littlest brother during one of his spiels, but now was not the right time. Stress and frustration began eating up at him from inside: why couldn't he see how dangerous this thing really was?! 

"No." 

Wait. 

"WHAT?" 

"I said. No."

Bluestreak huffed, crossing his arms in a pure show of defiance. "I'm perfectly safe where I am, you're being a jerk." To everyone's absolute horror the child lifted his right hand and patted one of the beast clawed fingers to prove his point- in return he got a quiet happy trill. 

"If he really wanted to hurt me he would've done so already and I'm not letting you shoot him." 

He hated to admit he kinda had a point. When the twins left the scene they left the two alone, leaving the youngest completely unprotected against a beast several times bigger than himself. If that thing really wanted to see them all dead, he wouldn't even be here to ponder the possibility. 

Oh for fuck sake, he knew where this was going. They were NOT going to adopt a random fish person. 

Were they?

 \\\

Well wasn't this quite the situation he found himself in? 

Honestly, he had been only searching for a place to finally experience some peace and quiet, away from the grubby hands of the Senate and, consequently, his very dear colleagues. If he had to speak with esteemed senator Tyrest again and entertain him as he blabbed away about 'Rectitude' and 'Order', while an impressive persistent piece of algae clinged on his front teeth- he was going to lose it and offer himself as lunch to the first frenzied monster he found. 

As he reached the surface he began to notice the utter and total destruction around him. Apparently a massive cataclysm had hit a few days prior, leaving the city in utter squalor- he wondered how many lost their lives in the wreckage. Wondering the landscape now engulfed by water. He passed what were once streets, houses and parks- ordinary places where people like his spent their time just... living. 

He wasn't unfamiliar with humans, of course: little hardy creatures, with a knack for destroying everything they came across, even themselves. But he would be lying if he didn't admit he came to favor them- oh, yes! Their utter lack of self preservation had wholly endeared them to him. How depressing things turned out to be. 

He let his train of thoughts race aimlessly as he finally let himself breach the water and slowly heave himself on a random slab of abandoned concrete, perfectly warmed up by the midday sun and he prepared himself to doze off the the calming lull of the waves around him...

A voice- oh no, a couple whispering voices reached his audial fins. They sounded young, very young, but he could not discern the meaning of their words. Too entranced by the new language he didn't notice that one of the speakers was getting quite close to his face, until he felt a sharp poke on his cheek that abruptly made him open his eyes and stand on alert. 

What came after happened too quickly for his still foggy brain to follow entirely: three small humans, most likely guppies, scrambled away from him. The two he presumed were the oldest sprinted as far as possible, while the runt of the bunch got his tiny final caught on a stray rock and fell miserably on the hard ground. 

The other screeched once more as they hurried away to who-knows-where, leaving him and their tiny companion alone. Surely not the best wake-up call he ever had but it can only go better from here, can it? 

A tiny whimper woke him up from his stupor as he once again focused on the small pile of human still plastered on the floor before him. Poor dear must have hurt himself, well that won't do. Slowly, gently he caressed the back of the little darling as he kept softly hiccuping- it was a shame humans skin wasn't as tough as his, it would prevent such inconveniences to happen, not that he blamed the little thing for his own poor biology, of course. 

"Oh sweetheart, it's going to be okay I promise. Your a very tough small fry, I got you." He let himself coo softly like he heard parents do to their own off-spring. Still minding his own size and sharp points, he dared to nudge the guppy over and inspect the damage himself- turns out the little one had only grazed his right limb, nothing a small dab of sea moss cannot fix. 

As he tended to the guppy's injury, he witnessed the little thing's mood change completely: from an inconsolable heap on the floor to a lively chatterbox- even if the meaning still escaped from him, the constant stream of sound made for a pleasant background as he continued his ministrations. And anyway, the guppy was happy just talking his audials away, who was he to stop his fun? 

Once he deemed his work acceptable enough, he gently prodded the little one to stand beside him, close enough to cover him with one of his fins as a make-shift blanket, and keep him cozy and warm against the evening ocean breeze. Sleep crept closer to him once more, as he listened to his new small ward rant about this and that, while the last rays of the sun warmed his back. Content and at ease he felt his body betray him as he recognized a familiar pleased rumble start in his throat. 

He let himself relax further, knowing this far out nothing would dare attack him and his little guppy. However, he was pleasantly surprised when from the rubble emerged three more small humans. 

Well, he counted six unattended little ones so far- this was getting quite awkward really, who was leaving all these children lying around? They were clearly sporting some sort of weapons, he guessed- although he felt that was reasonably natural, considering humans didn't have any claws or sharp fangs to defend themselves with. 

He watched as the two parties shared a fairly animated conversation. These were most likely his guppy's little friends or... siblings? No matter really since they were all way too young to be wandering around alone in a place like this. 

It was final then! He ought to protect and care for these little ones, until they wouldn't need him anymore.

Hi hi! I just want to say I really like your artwork (though I’m a bit of a lurker so I’ve been a bit nervous to say anything until now 🫣). I can’t draw but I guess I can colour, so I decided to colour this sketch of yours! (I promise I didn’t repost it anywhere or pretend it’s mine I just wanted to show my admiration for your work 😭) I hope you have a good day!

Oh sweetie your coloring is (I almost said lovely ahah) intimidating in the most possible compliment way, I love it <3

[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]

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]
