⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 -- Kingdom

Mouteka is an island nation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean consisting of three islands; the main island, Sultagi, and two smaller islands, Kostwa and Hiaksa; and an atoll off the northern coast of Sultagi.

The largest island, Sultagi, contains a wide variety of environments including beaches, jungles, mountains, and a volcano. Most major cities of Mouteka are located on Sultagi's shores with most inland settlements being smaller towns. The capital of Mouteka is Kubyoult. It is located on Sultagi's southern coast and is extremely culturally significant as it houses the Royal Palace. Kubyoult is a mix of traditional Moutekan architecture and some modern buildings. Sultagi also harbors Mouteka's largest city, Seitoung. Seitoung is essentially the second capital and has been greatly modernized, resembling cities from other countries. Seitoung is located on Sultagi's northern coast.

Although it is the second largest island, Kostwa is significantly smaller than Sultagi, being only a fraction of its size. The environment of Kostwa resembles Sultagi's but on a smaller scale. The jungles are smaller, leaving room for large shorelines, and the mountains are much more flat. Kostwa does have some of its own large cities to varying degrees of modernity, although none are as large as the ones on Sultagi.

Hiaksa is the smallest of the Moutekan islands with a population of about only 100 people. Hiaksa has no cities and consists of traditional Moutekan villages. It has a small jungle and is surrounded by a barrier reef. Mouteka is trying its best to conserve Hiaksa's natural state and has no plans of modernizing it.

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 -- Royal Family

The Sela royal family has ruled over Mouteka since the 1500s. When the Pacific first started to be used for transportation and trade, an ancient Sela ancestor rallied up the mermaids of Mouteka to use their abilities to fend off the impending colonization. With their home safely secured, the Selas established a trading post in modern day Kubyoult and were able to control trade across the Pacific Ocean, greatly increasing Mouteka's wealth.

Modern Moutekan government operates on a constitutional monarchy meaning the monarch has limited power and is accompanied by a group of elected officials. Monarch status is granted to the oldest willing child when the current monarch steps down.

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 -- Mermaids

Mermaids are an important part of Moutekan culture and are so widespread even the most skeptical of people have encountered one in some way. Mermaids make up a significant portion of Mouteka's beachside population. To tourists and foreigners mermaids are treated like an urban legend to keep them safe from exploitation with the truth about mermaids being a secret known only to Moutekan natives.

While inexperienced mermaids will transform when in contact with large amounts of water, with practice they can learn to transform on command. It is said that there are pools in Hiaksa and the Northern Atoll that are capable of turning humans into mermaids. It is theorized this is how the original mermaids came to be.

Abilities : enhanced athleticism, enhanced senses, water manipulation, weather manipulation, temperature manipulation, telekinesis, hypnosis, enchanted singing, ethereal beauty, aquatic zoolingualism, spellcasting

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 -- Culture

The native religion of Mouteka is Akoism, an animist belief that everything in nature from animals to rocks hosts a deity within it. Akoism comes from the Moutekan word 'ako' meaning soul.

A fundamental belief of Akoism is that the moon is the mother of everything. According to legend, the moon used to be as lively as the earth and as bright as the sun. Every year she would give birth to a new concept such as the ocean, mountains, or sky and as she did this she became dimmer and grey. Due to this she is greatly respected within Akoism.

The moon is also the center point of two Moutekan holidays. The first being a monthly celebration on the first night of the full moon to celebrate her return that is accompanied by loud parties and a day off for the whole country. The second is a yearly week-long festival leading up to Moutekan lunar new year to celebrate the moon giving birth to a new concept. This festival includes parades, concerts, and parties. New year's is a big deal in Mouteka and everyone is expected to participate, especially the royal family.

I may have gotten too into the worldbuilding 🙃 I couldn't stop myself the ideas just kept coming 😭

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I hope I did okay on explaining the lore 🤞

[obae-me]

Help I submitted that "MC's immune to Luci's siren song" ask and the brainrot has gotten so much worse- There's just so much substance to it! It inherently messes with Lucifer's ego and sense of pride, at the start of his and MC's relationship he's probably silently seething 24/7 cause what do you mean this random human he's never heard of before is entirely immune to all of his hypnosis magic???? In my headcanon of this whole AU the MC's on the more oblivious side when it comes to Lucifer's plan to keep trying to seduce them into the water, not to the point of stupidity, like no matter how much Lucifer insists they take a dip in the water they refuse unless it's like a tidepool or something cause they are aware of a sirens reputation, but still you know what I mean they're under the impression that after their first encounter Lucifer just innocently wants to be close with them and nothing else Agh and the SCENARIOS you can get with this. Okay- Like imagine with me if you will, Lucifer and the MC are spending time with one another in a secluded shallow pool of water (think like a tidepool or something similar where the waters are too shallow to properly drown in as a full grown adult), the two are kind of goofing around with one another and something something bam! MC finds themselves pinned down by and completely underneath Lucifer, and Lucifer has a thought... He could kill them right now. It's not the typical way for sirens to hunt their prey but he could use his razor sharp claws and teeth to kill and eat them like he had intended to since he met them. But, despite that being the extremely obvious solution to his "problem", Lucifer hesitates, and he finds that he's unable to will his body into harming MC, he just can't do it. And how ridiculous is that?!! The Lucifer, one of if not the most fiercest hunter of all the sirens, the man responsible for countless human deaths, finds himself unable to kill one. simple. human. How ridiculous is that?! Honourable mention the angst you could get in a situation where the MC finds out Lucifer was just planning to drown and eat them the whole time even if that's changed ("So.. Nothing we had was even real...?" type stuff) or say other sirens (not the other brothers/dateables just some random npc type characters) catch wind of MC and while they know they can't hypnotize them into the water they're not above using more forceful ways to drown them. There's so much fun to be had with this AU!!! My undying love for Luci and mermaids compels me to brainrot about it!!!!!! Monster forbidden romance for the in baybeeeeeeeee-

Screaming from the rooftops till my throat goes raw.

Drowning in a pool of my own tears.

The brainrot is real!!

Oh my god... I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful this is.

There is so much ANGST potential! Say, for example, the reason why MC was out there that first night was to run away from something that happened in their life. They made it all the way to a rocky beach with no one but them and the water, and then all of a sudden, they hear the singing...and it's the most beautiful sound in the world. It immediately makes them feel better. And then of course, it came from one of the most beautiful beings they'd ever seen.

Sure they'd heard stories about sirens and their calls, and so they keep themselves safe in the shallows. However, they maybe thought that he kept coming to see them because...maybe there was something there. Anytime they were sad or stressed, they came to see him, and he made everything feel better. God, the way he smiled at them when they talked about their day. The way he asked questions to get to know them better.

That was all a lie? An elaborate manipulation? Just waiting for their guard to lower enough? How...horrible...

And so they stop going to see him. But they hate being away from the water when they're sad, so they head to different locations.

Only, there's several other sirens who have heard of rumors of the human who resisted the famous Lucifer's songs. If they managed to steal Lucifer's hunt...well, that appeals to more than a few.

They're in danger now, and they hardly even know it till they're in the thick of it.

And there's only one person who can help them.

Anon, this is so good. I can't take it.

Warnings: Descriptions of blood, drinking blood, eating people

Prologue/ Lore:

For the purposes of this story, the concept of siren is a combination of a mermaid and a harpy. The siren is a shapeshifting humanoid creature with an appetite for flesh to fuel its transformations. They can appear as a winged humanoid, a mermaid, or a winged mermaid. As long as the siren has fed, it is able to transform at will. The flesh of other creatures is metabolized into energy that feeds stem cells to rapidly divide and turn into the wings and/or tail of the siren. When the appendages are damaged severely, they remain damaged until the next transformation. The blood and saliva of sirens can be used to promote rapid healing.

As the siren is an entity of the ocean, devil fruit users taste horrible to them and will make them sick if they consume their blood or flesh. Sirens are very rare, thought of only as a myth. They are beings that have split off from Fish-men and are thought to have the blood of Lunarians flowing through them, hence the ability to form wings and a tail. They do not possess the abilities to control water or flame as the Fish-men or Lunarians do. However, they do possess superhuman strength, senses, and durability. In the water, they are faster than a Fish-man. Both of these things aiding in their capability as a top tier predator.

In addition to shapeshifting into a harpy or mermaid-like form, they can force themselves to appear more human, without sharp teeth or nails. Though to an experienced eye, their canine teeth appear much sharper than a normal human, even when they attempt to blend in. A siren normally has slitted pupils and varied shades of yellow to orange irises, but can make them appear rounder and more green so as not to alarm their prey. If using any of their siren 'powers', it is extremely difficult to hide these features.

Sirens are very beautiful by nature, thought to have evolved the shapeshifting traits in order to lure their three favorite types of prey, humans, Fish-men, and Lunarians. Often it is said that their voices have hypnotic powers over any being that hears them, though it is more of a suggestion than full-blown mind control. Pheromones given off by the skin of a siren and their mysterious aura only improve the efficacy of the hypnosis.

Sirens are found only in the New World, in very secluded areas. They are extremely territorial and only come together to reproduce. It is unknown if they can reproduce with other races.

(Starts at the tail end of Thriller Bark)

Chapter 1: Prey

What was that irresistible smell? 

Inky black wings cut through the foggy, damp, air. You had been flying around aimlessly for some time before being swallowed by fog. Echoes of a battle sounded somewhere in the distance, originally luring you in this general direction. But then, oh, but then! Then there was this intoxicating stench that pulled you, reeled you in. It had been days since you last ate and you were so hungry. The scent alone was making saliva pool in your mouth and causing your teeth to sharpen in anticipation. It was getting stronger as the wind carried you closer and closer. You heard bits of a conversation, the words chopped up by the changing winds. The fog broke as you descended into the treetops. Silently and gracefully, you landed on the side of a tree, holding a branch to keep you steady. 

You pulled your goggles onto your forehead so you could look with your naked eyes. Below you, there was a scarlet red stain on the ground, like a giant had wounded the earth. The sharp iron essence made your mind hazy with bloodlust. Focusing further, you saw two men standing in the center of the stain. One was frantic and yelling. The other was standing completely still. The second man seemed to be the source of this red stain. Your eyes widened. It shouldn't be possible for someone to be standing with that much blood loss. You would know. You were experienced in helping people lose blood, an expert even. The first man, a blond, half-carried the other away from the scene. 

When some time had passed and you could safely investigate, you swooped from the tree to alight on the surface. It was more than you had anticipated. There was no way that man would survive. Which was a shame, since this was the delectable scent you had honed in on. A clawed finger ran through still-wet blood that had collected in a divet on a stone. You admired the way the liquid ruby substance clung to your finger, refusing to drip to the ground. It was starting to clot and dry. Your pupils turned into slits when you popped your finger into your mouth. So good. It might be the best you'd tasted. No wonder the smell alone had you in its clutches. If it was this tasty after sitting, you got goosebumps thinking about how good it would be fresh from the source. 

Flitting from tree to tree, you maintained cover, following the trail of blood leading to your prey. You frowned when you saw that he was surrounded by his comrades. There was no way to get close. But you were patient. They were having some kind of celebration. All you had to do was wait until they were completely drunk and stuffed full of food and they would pass right out, which is exactly what happened. 

Under night's cover, with snoring all around you, you silently stalked between sleeping bodies to get to your target. He had been bandaged up and was surprisingly still alive. The pulse of his heart softly thumped in your ears. It sounded poor. You took inventory of the man: mint-green hair, tan skin, broad shoulders, muscular, and he had swords lying next to him. The sickly tone to his skin told you that he scarcely had blood enough to power his vital organs. You could receive instant gratification by draining the rest, put him out of his misery. It would be quick. Another thought punctuated that one. Or, you could bet on him. He looked strong. Maybe he could pull through with some help. Then you could really savor him and take your time draining him dry. The doctor that patched him up was clearly skilled. The gluttonous side of you decided to take a chance. 

Kneeling by his head, you brought your wrist to your mouth, drawing a red line down it with your teeth. A voice that sounded like many soft voices speaking at once left your mouth, "Open." The man's lips parted slightly, enough for you to let the blood run down your hand into his mouth. "Swallow." When you thought he had had enough, you closed the wound on your skin with a slow drag of your tongue. The super-powered blood running through your veins would jump start his body into making more of his own. You gently pushed his chin up to close his mouth, sliding your clawed fingers tenderly along his jawline. You hadn't noticed before how handsome he was. A plus. His heartbeat slowed, but became stronger. A good sign compared to the shallow, rapid beat that he had had before. 

With a leap into the air and one strong downstroke of your oil-slick colored wings, you disappeared into the foggy sky once more.

For those interested in AU with Siren Wilbur and Captain Quackity from the lower post

this AU has quite a rich lore and plot, it is mainly based on psychology and is quite difficult to understand, there are a lot of characters and they all went through a lot of suffering. If I talk about EVERYONE then it would take a VERY long time, but I can talk about the main characters: Techno, Tommy, Wilbur, Sally, Puffy, Quackity.

Everything begins with the kingdom of mermaids and sirens in the Black Sea.

A quick explanation about mermaids and sirens.

Mermaids have the tails of river and lake fish, such as salmon, herring, etc. That is, almost everyone, except predators.

Of course, there are always some cases-exceptions, so sometimes there are mermaids with the tails of predators. Also with sirens, sometimes you can meet a siren with a tail, for example, a goldfish (like Tommy).

Mermaids themselves are smaller than sirens, also dangerous, but mostly weaker.

Sirens are always predators, such as sharks, killer whales, piranhas, etc. (Although piranhas live in fresh water, they still belong to sirens that live in the sea). Sirens can use their voice in hypnosis, have very sharp claws and teeth, they are the strongest creatures in the black sea, so there is racism in the kingdom, where sirens humiliate mermaids.

An interesting point: pairs of sirens and mermaids.

Both sirens and mermaids are very jealous and loyal. They can only have one partner for life (or polyamory - 2 partners for life). That is, when a pair of sirens/mermaids dies, the other dies as well. The only way for one of the partners to survive is to have a child.

I can tell more about lore in other answers and posts, because there is a lot, a lot of information (after all, AU is exists more than a year, I came up with a lot lol)

Now plot & lore.

Technoblade is the eldest son, he is a siren with a white shark tail, and despite the fact that he is older and should be the heir to the crown, he joined the ranks of the knights of the kingdom.

Wilbur is the middle son, has a killer whale tail, he became the heir to the crown, so he has a lot of responsibility and interest in his every action. By himself, Wilbur is quite calm and wise, tries to be fair, but sometimes he breaks down and runs wild.

Tommy, the youngest and last son, he is pretty childish and in refers to things from a positive point of view. Wilbur doesn't always share this, and is more inclined to listen to the advice of Techno and their father Phil.

Tommy and Wilbur are often called the sun and the moon in the kingdom.

Sally is a river mermaid with a salmon tail. She, like other mermaids, unfortunately succumbed to humiliation from sirens and even other "privileged" mermaids. In the course of the story, she became Wilbur's girlfriend, which was greatly disliked by the other mermaids and sirens of the kingdom and eventually killed Sally, but Wilbur was able to survive because he had a child, Fundy/Tallulah, by Sally at the time. (I used to think that they would have a son Fundy, but now I think it would be better if it were Tallulah, because then Fundy would be a human child, and Tallulah would be a siren). But even though Wilbur managed to survive, he began to slowly lose his mind and go wild, due to which Phil had to put Wilbur in the kingdom's prison for a while.

Puffy. She plays quite a role in this story because she is a loyal knight of the kingdom and the best friend of the king and his sons. She is quite wise and compassionate, Puffy plays the role of a psychologist in this story. She is a siren, but I haven't decided what kind of fish her tail will be XD

captain Quackity. A cruel and influential man, he has been hunting sirens and mermaids for a long time. He is not a pirate, he is a hunter.

Pirates and hunters are a little different: pirates do not affect the inhabitants of the seas, they attack other ships, and hunters attack both the inhabitants of the seas and other ships.

after capturing Wilbur, the captain will treat him more gently than the other sirens and mermaids, because this is the first time a blue-blooded person has been on his ship. Despite this, he will still be quite cold towards Wilbur, and will try all kinds of methods to find out as much secret information as possible.

By the way, at the moment when Wilbur is on the hunter ship, Stockholm syndrome will happen and Wilbur will start to think that he loves the captain :(

so now there will be a spoiler for the ending:

The ship will be caught in a severe storm, sirens will attack their ship, killing many of the crew and tearing the ship apart. Quackity will drown when he tries to save himself and others, he will be stuck in the closed cabin. Wilbur will look for the captain and then he will find him, but it will be too late.

Wilbur will drag Quackity's body to the shore, there will be a difficult scene with Wilbur tearing his own body to pieces in front of Tommy, who will be hiding behind a rock nearby.

Tommy becomes the new heir to the throne.

The kingdom despises Tommy and Phil for his choice. The kingdom is in chaos, Tommy will have to make up for all his wrongdoings and prove that he is a good king.

Here's the story in a VERY short summary. I wanted to do it in the form of a fanfic, but I understand that I will not be able to, because it's too difficult mentally, I still need to study psychology.

I hope you like the idea if you're still here XD

Also, English isn't my native language, I apologize for possible mistakes in the text.

I hope I haven't exceeded any word limits here...

here is another sketch and art of this AU, which I drew in 2022:

lol I noticed that Quackity is on the right side in each illustration.

TY FOR READING ALL THIS HAHA...

My superhero school dr! PT1

pt2

A man is talking to me, I’m not quite sure why I’m here or what he’s talking about to be completely honest, its not really his fault because I’m not exactly listening; instead, I’m staring at the large mirror behind him that takes up the entire wall.

It’s important to note that I’m currently sitting on a metal chair in an integrating room and chained to the table in front of me…like completely chained not even just my hands-my body is actually wrapped in chains, my mouth is also kindly taped shut…great

“I’m sure you’re wondering why you’re here”

Yes, yes, I am

“I apologize for the chains, but we can’t take any chances with people like…like-uh you” He says this apologetically and looks away from me awkwardly and shuffles in his seat.

Another important note is that I am what you would call a mutant-a rare type of human that was born with a slightly different gene like that show my hero academia but like super rare…not unheard of and pretty common knowledge but not a lot of people, think heterochromia or vitiligo.

My ‘power’ is what I like to call SIREN basically to keep it short this is what it is:

Pathokinesis: the power to sense and manipulate the emotions of others

Hypnosis: the power to create hallucinations

Siren song: the power to use one’s voice (whether singing or not but more powerful if singing) to control someone (typical used for males in the more traditional sense but can be used for anyone no matter gender or sexuality)

Telepathy: To read the minds of one’s targets

Hypokinesis: the control of water

Shapeshifting: to transform from a human into a mermaid

Enhanced agility

Superhuman strength

Beacon emission: the power to create an incredibly enchanting effect that lures and summons anyone perceiving it towards the user

Marine telepathy: to be able to communicate and control to all marine life/animals that live in water

Supernatural beauty

“The team and I apologise for the rude…invitation” he laughs scratching the back of his head. I wouldn’t call it an invitation; they broke into my share house and kidnapped me from my room but no hard feelings.

“But we would like to invite you to attend and enrol our school Titan Valor Academy”

What

The

Fuck.

“We’ve been watching you for a long time Dove and we think you’ll make an excellent fit”

…

Obviously, I said yes.

this is part one so next part I will be introducing you guys!!! <3

[ Alright, here’s the second post to my Deep Sea AU! ]

[ this one is separately just about the Kinito Crew, just some basic info about em! PS: this post is gonna be RLLY long, and before I rlly get to them, I just wanna talk about some basic stuff! ]

I recommend to read this post before diving into those there’s some important base info about this AU in it: LINK

/// like before, slight mention of violence and Manipulation, nothing major, but just incase! :)

Now for this crew, what are they, they are a type of Mermaid/Siren species, mixed in whit other types of Sea/Water based life, they are around double as big as a normal human [let’s say average human being 5 feet tall].

They are very prone to attack humans, most of the time they would attack small ships to boats that would just be out at sea, they aren’t much afraid to come close to humans, so even small boats on the shore aren’t safe, this was one of the reasons why the company had to capture them.

——————

They have siren like powers, where they can potentially manipulate humans to do what they tell them to, it can either be done over the eye‘s or voice!

Voice manipulation: based around the „singing“ I rather want to use something based on the idea of „Binarual Beats“ which a normal human can’t hear, but can have an impact on the brain.

Here they have sertain soundwaves in their voices, that when telling someone to do something for them, they have an incredible strong impact, not rlly like hypnosis cause the person is still awake and aware, but feels more like „if I don’t do this my heads gonna explode“.

For this, the company has developed special ear buds, which allows the wearer to hear, but it kills and Sound waves which could have a negative impact on the brain.

Eye manipulation: this one rarely gets used by them, for this, let’s use kinito as an example, needs to keep full eye contact for a while, which then can put the affected in a type of trance, or if done shortly, can again have affect on the brain. [which can causea panic like feeling]

Just like before, the company came up which glasses/contact lenses, which keeps someone from being put into a trace.

Workers are required to wear both at all times when handling anyone from the crew, so sayd worker is aware of his surroundings at all times and doesn’t get distracted!

Now let’s get a bit more into these three!

But before I start, I wanna say I had to ignore real biology a bit, mainly because I’m making mermaids here, and this plays in the Sea, if I would make kinito fully and axolotl, he would not sieving in such salty waters, so while all of them still have parts of their original species, they are still mainly mermaid like creatures! Okay let’s go!

——————

Kinito

Species: Part Axolotl Sea creature

Size: 11 feet tall

Specific ability: extremely quick, glows under fluorescent light.

Kinito is a good in between Sam and Jade, Thinks before he act‘s, but still has quite the short temper when he doesn’t get what he wants, but will put up an act to have a better chance to get his way!

—————

Jade

Species: Part Jellyfish Sea Creature

Size: 9 feet tall

Specific ability: can glow in the dark, tentacle can stink and paralyze victim.

Jade is the calmest of the group, thinks before she act‘s which even in her scared up state kept her out of a lot of trouble, she‘s more quiet, and in captivity only attacks when she feel threatened, that doesn’t mean she’s gonna be nice…

—————

Sam

Species: part Anemone Sea creature

Size: 10 feet tall

Specific ability: tentacles can sting and paralyze victim, strongest of the three.

While naturally being more layed back, Sam is VERY aggressive towards humans, and will straight up just attack out of the blue, mostly being kept back my Jade.

[ okay that’s it for now, hopefully get to have some time to work on this AU a bit more! ]

[ See ya!^^ ]

Who do you think would be a werewolf and who would be a vampire in atla? Or what do you think their nations would mainly be

or any other monster

Thanks for the question, Amor!

I like the idea of Azula witch, Mai vampire and Ty Lee female werewolf, that's cool.

But if we talk about all Nations and that monsters exist, well here it goes!

For the water tribes, women would be mermaids, while men would be werewolves, but there are always exceptions.

The air nomads would be mummies, because they are already dead.

The Earth Kingdom would be vampires, you know, because of Ba Sing Se's hypnosis, and because of the fear of the sun.

And the Fire Nation would be witches, why? for an inside joke.

(Link to previous part)

The drive to the boardwalk took longer than Steve since there was no direct outlet from their private beach house, and the boardwalk was a bit further down the beach than Steve had anticipated. Because of this, it was nightfall when he arrived, but he supposed that didn’t matter as there was no one waiting up for him at home. Night. Also, seemed to be the time when the most people visited, given that the lot was packed with barely any open spaces.

Steve noticed that most of the tourists were heading up the walkway towards the amusement park on the pier, but there were others dressed in heavy chains and black leather were heading towards the beach. He could hear muffled music in the distance, so Steve curiously got out of his car, only to be assaulted with loud screaming accompanied by blaring guitars. Covering his ears, he knew he should walk away from the sounds making his eardrums ache, except his feet began moving in the direction of the beach before he could stop them.

Throngs of people moved their heads, tossing their hair as they danced to the music. Steve made his way through them until he reached the makeshift bandstand at the edge of the water. A group of four men stood atop it while fires blazed on both sides of the stage, giving the venue a devilish atmosphere. They played their instruments with such passion and vigor, that Steve couldn’t stop himself from becoming enthralled, especially the lead singer in the center of it all.

Strumming wildly, the lead singer screamed into the microphone as his long, curly hair spilling down his back in untamed waves. Steve pushed through the crowd to get closer to the man, unable to take his eyes off him. The singer looked so free and unrestrained, and Steve couldn’t help but wonder what that felt like as his parents micromanaged his life, wanting to make certain that he followed their plans for him perfectly.

The singer seemed to sense Steve’s eyes on him as his gaze flickered from the crowd down to Steve. A devilish grin passed over the other man’s face before he winked in a clearly flirtatious way. Heat filled Steve’s cheeks while his stomach flipped. He’d been on the receiving end of such advances previously, but they never made him feel quite as warm or enraptured in the same way as the singer did as he began to play as if directly to Steve, seducing him from afar.

Steve wasn’t certain what would happen if he stayed until the end, though it didn’t seem as if he was going to find out as a meaty hand gripped his shoulder and a thinner man stepped in front of him, blocking Steve’s view of the stage. It was then that he realized that he’d been surrounded by a gang of several men, dressed similarly to the ones on stage except they didn’t look as dashing, especially when compared to the lead singer.

“You lost little tourist?” the thinner man asked. “We don’t accept preps on our beach.”

Glancing down, Steve didn’t think he was dressed particularly preppy. He only had on a loose, blue-and-white-striped polo with the collar open, not wanting to feel too restricted as he drove. His jeans were a light blue acid wash that were a bit old and a little snug, though that made them good for being on the road since he’d broken them in already. Maybe his watch was a little preppy with its brown strap and gold dial, but that was a gift from his grandpa, who given it to him shortly before he passed.

“I didn’t see a sign,” Steve replied, jerking his shoulder out of the goon’s weighty grip.

“There doesn’t need to be a sign. It’s clearly implied that we rule the beach and squares like you stay up on the pier unless you want to pay the toll.”

“Pay the toll? Like you want money or something?”

“Nah, we don’t want your cash. We just want to see you bleed a little bit. That’s all.”

“Oh, that’s all. Why didn’t you say so?” Steve squared up his shoulders. “You first.”

A quick jab from Steve’s fist took the thin man by surprise, allowing Steve to duck under the arm of the gang’s muscle, so he could begin pushing his way through the crowd. However, he was swimming against the current as the concert-goers wanted to be closer to the stage, while Steve wanted to go in the opposite direction, towards the parking lot. He could also see the others in the gang doing the same, only quicker as they were roughly shoving people out of their way in order to continue their pursuit of Steve.

Bodies continued to bump into Steve until he finally reached the back of the crowd, which was a bit looser than in the front. He slipped through them, but it was too late. The others of the gang had caught up with him and shoved him down onto the ground, into the coarse sand. They approached slowly, looming over him with menacing grins.

Grabbing Steve by his hair, the muscle pulled Steve up until he was on his knees. Some sand had gotten into Steve’s mouth, so when the thinner man approached, Steve made certain to spit it out at the other’s face. It was a direct hit, causing the gang leader to sputter and blanch while he wiped the spittle off his face.

The thinner man gripped Steve’s shirt and growled. “You’re going to regret you did.”

“I don’t see why you’re so upset,” Steve said. “The spit was an improvement compared to the shitshow that’s typically your face.”

Laughing, the thinner man replied, “What about this, funny guy? Think this is funny?” He then punched Steve hard in the mouth and kept punching Steve, wanting to inflict as possible. More laughter sprung from the thin man, who seemed to be enjoying the way he was making Steve bleed, getting a sick pleasure as Steve’s lip split open and his nose steadily bled.

The thinner man pulled back his arm to hit Steve again, only for his wrist to be caught by a pale, slender hand. Silver rings dug deeply into the other man’s skin as a deep, hoarse voice then said coldly, “I should slit your fucking throat for trying to ruin such a pretty face like his.”

Meet Me at the Sea Teaser

Pairing: Jake "Hangman" Seresin x Reader

Summary: Your best friend, Bob Floyd, had insisted you join him for the summer at his family's summer home along the Carolina coasts. You had been hesitant at first, but ultimately agreed to his request. Now, here you were in a new town with strange locals who spoke in hushed whispers and cryptic retellings about glistening scales, glowing eyes, and haunting songs that echoed from the sea. You didn't believe them at first, but when you wake up on the beach one morning after having fallen overboard the night before, you can't help but think that maybe you hadn't imagine the strong arms and deep, green eyes of the man that had saved you.

Series CW: Supernatural elements, Siren songs, Death, Accidental drownings, Near death experiences, Swearing, Violence, Mermaid/Sirens, Hypnosis, Attempted murder, Eventual smut, Fluff, Angst, Jake Seresin. Think that's pretty much it. Chapters will have individual warnings.

A/N: As with Fool's Fare, this is the teaser! Some elements of the story are subject to change as I write this, but I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak! As always, reblogs, comments, and likes are greatly appreciated. 18+ ONLY!! You can find me on AO3 under sailor_aviator where I post all of my updates as well!

"You've heard the stories from the locals."

It was more of a statement than a question. The cool, sea air caressed the warmth of your skin, and you shivered. You could see the lightning off in the distance as the storm rolled in from the sea behind him.

"I have," you replied, arms crossing to maintain some warmth. He watched you, studied you, like you might run away at any moment. His eyes were like sea glass, a frosted green that seemed to shine in the near pitch black of the night. "What about them?"

"What if I told you they weren't just stories?"

You scoffed, shooting him a glare. "You dragged me down here to ask me about those dumb stories about mermaids and sea monsters? You going to tell me that Davy Jones is real next, Jake?"

"I'm serious, Skipper," he frowned. You rolled your eyes at the nickname. He had called you that when you first met out on the docks after the accident, and it had stuck much to your annoyance. "Haven't you been wondering how you made it back to shore without more than a few bumps and scratches? Haven't you been wondering how you survived?"

"Yes," you murmured, feeling a sense of unease. "But I don't-"

"It was me," he stated, eyes clouded with a haze of desperation and desire. You could have sworn his eyes began to glow as he started taking slow, deliberate steps towards you. You felt a warm hum roll through your body as he maintained eye contact with you, seeming to almost pull you in. "I was the one that grabbed you when you fell overboard. I was the one who brought you to shore, watched over you until I knew you were okay. I was the one leaving pearls and seashells on the sides of the ship for you to find."

He was standing in front of you now, hands moving to cup both sides of your face as he stared down at you. You thought you heard shouting from up by the wooden ramp that led off the beach, but all you could focus on was the glowing green of his eyes and gentle caress of his words on your mind.

"Why?" you asked breathlessly. He chuckled, leaning his forehead against yours. The voices grew louder in the distance, and you faintly felt the lapping of the water at your calves. Were you moving deeper into the ocean?

"Because," he whispered, nuzzling his nose against yours. "I want you."

Spooktober 2024 Event!

Running from 9/22/2024 to 9/30/2024 is my Spooktober Event!

A Halloween Party!

Which if you've been on the lookout, you'll have been given a spoiler for very recently!

It’ll be a lot like my Shake Date Event, actually.

Here’s how it’s going to work!

You, or if I’ve done it for you before, an OC, are going to a Halloween party! And you’ve been given a ride with a character (or two!). Maybe you dressed up, or maybe they did, but you find that there’s a candy bucket (or something close) waiting for you in the car. A little treat for coming out with them—how sweet!

This means I will only write your OC if I have done so before!

(Those of you who have already sent in an ask with new OCs, I'll get to you if I haven't already. New OC asks from this point on will be deleted. Handling someone's baby for the first time in a mass event is stressful).

You are to send me an ask in my ask box who was dressed up (they’ll be the ‘monster’ they’re dressed as), what candy bucket you’ve got, and what was in it! As for personal descriptions, you’re to tell me what you want me to know! I don’t know what you look like, after all. So let me know if you prefer a particular style of dress, your basic details, and something you want to have attention drawn to. Whether that’s your serious personality, or freckles! This is easier for OCs, as I’ll already have a frame of reference.

When doing the candy, feel free to have it be ‘given’ to someone specific if you want them to have that in particular. It’s nice to share, after all!

If you’re +18, you can drink at the party with your partner. Keep in mind the ‘costumes’ when asking for shots and who’s ordering them!

I also will not be breaking any previous boundaries in concern towards the smut. So rest assured, there will be no coprophilia, water play, whatever fancy word for vomit there is, tickle play, age play, real people fiction, non con, or underage relationships. Requests to the contrary will, at best, be politely ignored.

This is not up for debate.

B-52 – Toys/Objects (Also functions as the BD/SM shot, exact details contingent on other selections)

Jellybean – Anal (functions as the BD/SM shot, if the ‘giver’ is a human AFAB, a toy or strap is assumed. Ask for ‘Mini Jellybean’ for anal play but not full anal. Regarding AMAB characters, anal may be assumed regardless of this shot not being ordered)

I know there’s a word limit for an ask, so feel free to be a bit dry if you have to. If I REALLY have to, I can always ask for clarification through DMs, but I’d like to avoid it if possible. To that end, have your dms open so that I can actually ask. If I can’t get clarification and the ask is impossible to complete without it, I may just delete it.

Driest example possible:

“I, X (AFAB, Masc), go with Shanks (Vampire). I prefer casual dress, I have short blond hair, I’m a professional athlete (weights) but a bit chubby for off season, tan, and dark eyes. There’s a paper bag with Chocolate nuts that I give to him, with Jolly ranchers, sour patch, and tootsie rolls. He drinks a sangrita and we share Jager bomb, gladiator, brain hemmorrage, and cement mixers.”

It doesn’t have to be super detailed if you prefer to be straight forward to keep it within the word count. And it could also be very detailed if you’d like to play with it a little! As long as it’s clear, I don’t mind at all!

In relation to characters dramatically taller than what is realistic, I may tweak their height to something less… daunting without having to be asked. So, someone like Katakuri from One Piece may not be 16+ feet in a normal, ‘mostly human’ setting.

Other than that, I look forward to seeing what ya’ll come up with and hope it makes for a spooky good fun time for everyone!

More questions for mermaids:

Do they have siren like abilities from mythology, like magical singing or maybe control over water or are they purely non magical biological in their world?

Also is their world magical

Hmmm sort of. They have more hypnotic abilities with their colors. It’s almost like a cuttlefish. Looking into their eyes also causes hypnosis.

They have a song, but it’s not for luring sailors. It’s for finding each other should they get separated.

Highway Hypnosis

Chapter 9: Cicely

I met an old woman in a movie theater queue in Chicago right after I graduated college. She was there alone, like me, trying in vain to make her day mean something. I noticed her immediately; in a sea of denim and cotton, she was in a sundress and sandals, the kind you wear to wade through a river when you’re hiking. She noticed me too, though I’m not sure what it was that stood out about me. She asked me where I was from; for some reason I didn’t strike her as a local. I leaned into it, just for a secret to keep, and told her I was from Seattle. And what a coincidence, she was too. “In my past life,” she explained, “I was a mermaid. It kills me to be out here with no water.” I reminded her of Lake Michigan, and she just shook her head. It wasn’t the same.

That woman stuck with me. Maybe I was projecting onto her, but I swore from that moment that I could feel her living deep inside the throes of my body, with her fist curled around my spine, dictating my every move with a benevolence I resented. I grew restless, too big for my mother’s home and entirely too small for whatever lay beyond its front door. There was an inevitability to the woman’s words; she and I would make it back home. Maybe we’d go somewhere and be mermaids together, just jump into the freezing northern waters and reject the world that had brought us up.

As I emerge from the Evergreen river’s icy current, I wonder if this counts. Is it that you can’t be a mermaid in freshwater, or is it more a matter of affinity? Regardless of how the movie theater woman would answer, I think she’d be proud of me. For some reason her hypothetical opinion of me matters more than I’d like to admit.

Jasper’s sitting on a large rock on the river bank, letting the late afternoon sun evaporate whatever cold water is left on his skin in transcendent drops of gold. He spent the night at my place last night, high on life after cracking the library code mystery. There have been remarkably few times throughout my life when I’ve been completely, genuinely at a loss for words, but waking up in his arms this morning was one of them. His face is turned toward the sky, and then suddenly it isn’t. I swim leisurely toward him as his gaze focuses on something on the beach towel to his right—my cell phone, I realize, which must mean it’s ringing. By the time I reach him and haul myself up onto the rock beside him, it’s almost too late. I don’t bother with the caller ID in my hurry to pick up the call, and the regret that washes over me immediately after the damn thing goes live is palpable.

“There you are! Thank goodness, Andie, do you know how many times I’ve tried to call you?”

“Mom? What’s going on, is something wrong?”

“Is something wrong?” My mother asks, incredulous, as if I should already know. “I have called you eight times, Andrea. Eight! And you haven’t picked up once. Care to explain?”

I don’t, but I’ll try. “Service is spotty up here, I honestly didn’t realize you’d even tried calling,” I say, followed by a weak “sorry, Mom.” I realize I’ve unconsciously pulled my knees to my chest, a position I often assume when talking to my mother. A therapist I once saw said it was part of a fawn response, which I suppose is understandable aside from the fact that it happens even during the most benign conversations.

“I don’t want your excuses, it’s not why I called,” she snaps. I figure it would be better to just let her talk, as anything I have to say past this point will be under the lens of her scrutiny, so I wait for her to continue. “I’m coming up to visit,” she says, “on the first of September. I’m staying four days, and I’ll need a ride to and from the airport.”

“Okay,” I say, cautiously, “will you send me your flight details in a text so I know what time to come get you?”

“They’re in your inbox already,” she replies, sounding exasperated. Once again, I guess I should have read her mind. Silly me. I inhale, sitting up straighter as Jasper slides an arm around my waist, his hand coming to rest on my hip. I’m not sure if he can hear anything more than my side of the conversation, but he seems attuned to my stress regardless. I cover his hand lightly with my own, resisting my body’s urge to move closer to him.

“Okay, I mean—,” I start. I can’t exactly tell her not to come; I can’t even lament that she didn’t warn me further ahead of time as, per her own testimony, she tried. “—Okay. I’ll see you soon, I guess.”

“Don’t sound so eager, it’s only your mother,” she replies sharply.

“Okay, I’m sorry,” I sigh, “I’ll see you in a week. Can’t wait.” She hangs up the phone without saying goodbye. Manners only matter when it’s mine that are lacking. I set the phone down, staring straight ahead for a moment as I close my hand around Jasper’s, lacing my fingers through his.

“Your mom?” He asks after a beat, in his soft way which, infuriatingly, makes me want to simultaneously tell him my deepest secrets and break down sobbing in his arms. How on Earth does he do that?

“Mhmm,” I hum, deciding on a dime to keep the conversation light, “she’s coming up in a week. She didn’t tell me why.”

“Sounds like a real piece of work,” Jasper says, leaning in to kiss my temple before I finally look at him.

“Yeah,” I nod, “you could say that.”

I don’t know if it’s residual teenage rebellion or the fact that I know inherently that my mother will hate him or what, but in this moment, looking at Jasper, I’m hit by a wave of Something that knocks the breath out of me completely. He is truly, completely perfect.

It occurs to me that I’ve been staring at him a moment too long when, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead, he says “What?”

I kiss him, and his small noise of surprise is submerged in a current of that sweet, slow darkness that envelops me whenever we’re together.

Jasper and I, in a rare moment of extraverted unison, have agreed to spend the evening with Joshy and Janie at her apartment above the cafe. It was Janie’s idea—she said it would be fun to have “couple friends,” but I get the distinct feeling she’s just curious about what exactly a relationship with the infamous Moss might look like—and, while she vaguely mentioned card games, I know for a fact she’s made no plans beyond sitting around on the floor and passing a bottle of gin back and forth. It’s a refreshingly low-stakes concept; in Chicago, if I wanted to socialize with anyone I needed to go to at least three bars and one late-night taco truck before we settled down for the night. I don’t think I’ve done the old “split a bottle of gin” routine since senior prom.

For some reason I expected Jasper to be nervous about the outing, but he’s not. He’s actually anything but. He even snagged some snacks from the general store on our way to Janie’s because “you can’t show up empty-handed, who raised you?”

The door to the apartment is unlocked, and upon opening it I’m met with an almost-tangible wave of sound. Music, laughter, pots and pans banging around in the kitchen.

“Hello?” I call, “We’re here.”

“Coming!” Janie responds, shortly before rounding the corner with two cocktail glasses hanging from her right hand. “Nice tat, Andie,” she grins devilishly, and after a moment of confusion my hand flies to my neck. I spin to look at Jasper, swatting him with the back of my hand.

“Oh my god, did you give me a hickey?” I hiss, a spark of satisfaction overcoming my embarrassment as his face flushes red.

“Sorry, sorry—ow, Jesus!” He mumbles, stifling laughter and backing away from my attacks until his legs hit the arm of Janie’s couch. “Okay, okay!” He says, finally allowing himself to laugh fully. “Okay, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again, I swear.” He’s holding out his pinky finger and, with a raised eyebrow, I link mine through it. As long as he swears.

Janie has disappeared back into the kitchen, replaced by Joshy, who’s apparently been banished for burning the popcorn. “Boys,” I say in lieu of a goodbye, sweeping into the kitchen to let them entertain themselves while I endure Janie’s inevitable bout of relentless teasing.

“I cannot believe he did that,” I mutter softly, coming to stand beside her, “I’m going to kill him. You know my mother’s coming to town in a week? Kill him for me, Janie.”

She laughs. “Spoons are in the drawer closest to the fridge,” she says. I understand her meaning; anyone who’s been the unfortunate victim of a hickey is familiar with the cold spoon trick. I search the drawer for the biggest metal spoon I can find before submerging it in a glass of ice water. Janie’s stirring a jar of something gorgeous and purple. She turns to me and says, “Honestly, I’m impressed. I didn’t think he had it in him.”

I roll my eyes. “I don’t think anyone’s given me a hickey since high school. What’s that?”

“Gin, I infused it with this blue tea stuff. It’s supposed to be good, we’ll see. So, have you…?” She asks casually.

“Yep,” I reply, trying to match her tone so she doesn’t shriek in response. It’s no use.

“Yes!” She squeaks, “How was it? Was it good?”

I feel myself flush and press the cold spoon into my neck in the vain hope that it’ll bring me back to a normal temperature. “Janie, I don’t even have the words to describe how good it was.”

“Really? Oh my god, Andie! Tell me everything, I can’t believe you didn’t text me immediately,” she says, bringing her tone back down to a whisper-shout that’s no less suspicious than her high-pitched shriek.

“It literally happened last night!” I whisper-shout in response, unable to keep the grin from my face.

“No excuse!”

“Fine, fine! ‘Kay, so first of all, he has a tattoo above his knee—,”

“Ladies?” Joshy asks from the doorway, eyebrow quirked in an amused expression. Shit.

“Coming!” Janie answers brightly, shooting me a look that says plainly “we’ll talk about it later.” I almost wish it was just the two of us tonight, just Janie and I. There’s nothing like a debrief between girls, between friends; I knew I missed having non-men around, but now that I know I have at least one to count on, it's like forbidden fruit. I don’t want to hang out with the boys, I want to dish with my friends. I make a promise to myself, then: I’ll call my college friends tomorrow. I’ll tell them everything. I won’t let go of my adolescence just yet.

Concept art for Jack Thunder n' Friends.

In the land of Altairus, there is one force that holds all beings together. This force is known by many names, but most call it Anima. Anima is the magical force that flows through all living beings and imbibes them with a magical essence that allows them to perform great feats not possible on Earth. The Sigil of Anima consists of a star with six points with a lightning bolt in the center, representing the essential spark of life that Anima gives to Altairus. The six points represent the six elements of Anima; Air, Water, Dark, Earth, Fire, and Light. This sigil is often carved on the walls of dojos; buildings protected by magical wards made for the express purpose of providing students of magic the opportunity to study and practice. The elements of Anima are not mutually exclusive; they are all the same kind of magic at their core, and many magical occurrences involve more than one element.

The Elements (Clockwise from top):

Air

Sigil: A swirly-topped cloud

Colors: Sky blue, white, azure

Associated beings: Storm gremlins, weather wyverns, tengu, sylphs, wind spirits

Associated powers: Weather control, throwing electricity, creating tornadoes, summoning wind spirits

Associated locations: Tempest Island, anywhere located in the clouds or on top of a tall mountain

Water

Sigil: Three droplets of water

Colors: Indigo, teal, sea green

Associated beings: Mermaids, sea dragons, naga, sea witches, kappas

Associated powers: Hypnotic singing, creating sea storms/tsunamis, purifying/polluting water, commanding sea creatures, healing spells

Associated locations: Anywhere underwater, swamps, marshes, riverbeds, springs

Dark

Sigil: A crescent moon with the dark part on the bottom left

Colors: Black, violet, dark blue

Associated beings: dark elves, satyrs, kobolds, vampires

Associated powers: Commanding night creatures, bending darkness, hypnosis, inflicting/relieving pain psychically, divination, necromancy

Associated locations: Dark forests, underground, anywhere at night

Earth

Sigil: A tree with five branches

Associated locations: Volcanoes, tropical climates, mountains, deserts

Light

Sigil: A sun somewhat resembling a compass rose

Colors: White, yellow, orange, sky blue

Associated beings: High elves, unicorns, valkryies, astrals

Associated powers: Healing, light blades, neutralizing opponents through enlightenment, creating wards

The Null Element (????):

The Null Element, shown on the far left, has a sigil that consists of two question-mark shapes, the left one inverted. While it is similar to the elements of Anima, it is not an element at all. In fact, the Null Element has negative Anima, meaning that rather than emitting Anima, it draws Anima in and consumes it. It is associated with beings known as wendigoes; twisted, empty beings that live their lives in misery, devoid of any ray of happiness, unless they are actively consuming Anima. While Null Element spells can make good copy of spells associated with any of the elements, it can seem attractive for spellcasters to use it; however, using Null spells drains both the user and their surroundings of their Anima, weakening them and lessening their ability to protect themselves from the wendigoes' influence, and tearing holes in the veil between Altairus and the Flipside (the home of the wendigoes). It is for these reasons that using Null spells is highly discouraged and stigmatized throughout most of Altairus - it is an element that promises power and wealth, but delivers on neither, and owns one's soul in the end.

I saw the mermaid AU and got an idea. I didn’t know that the person behind the AU was going to add to it. I’m glad they did because it’s great! I don’t know what this would be, but I wrote something and I’m going to share it. (It sadly has less hypnosis than what actually happened, but it still hints at a future polycule.)

When Mumbo saw Cub leave the house, it wasn’t the first time Cub had left in the middle of the night. Months ago, as Cub was collecting some water samples, he heard a song. Cub is a scientist, he’s curious, he quietly follows the sound. The small town had an old folktale about a mer, who wanted to see grass up close, and a man, who brought him some grass growing in dirt. The mer rewarded him by luring lots of fish to the coast, then other people moved in and that’s the origin of the town. Cub never put any stock into the folktale, but here’s this creature that he could only describe as some sort of mermaid or siren. Shining green eyes, green gills, and scars that looked like they came from propellers. Anyways, Cub and the mer, Scar, end up talking to each other on a regular basis. Scar sings to let Cub know that he’s outside. Cub is tired, but it’s worth it. He talks about his mustachioed partner, their work, and the town. Scar talks about his home, his friends, and the fish. He even shows Cub his pet sea catfish (yes there’s jellyfish, but there are also salt water catfish and catfish puns). They are falling in love. Scar’s friend, Grian, gets concerned because Scar has a tendency to get too close to humans and their boats and their garbage. So Grian checks out Scar’s new friend and learns that Cub and Mumbo are actually nice (they pick trash off of the beach, they don’t scare the wildlife) and incredibly good looking. So Grian hangs out with Scar and Cub sometimes.

awww AWWW I LOVE THIS!!

Scar and Cub getting closer, Grian being concerned but finding out these two guys are actually really nice and care about their home.. WAAH

Mermaid headcanons in Diabolik lovers

(The following headcanons are exclusive to my personal lore since, so far, there aren’t a lot of canon information from the games for races and clãs other than vampires, founders and ghouls.)

Just like the main four clãs (bat, snake, eagle and wolf) are born from the founders, mermaids were born from the vibora clan;

They can use magic, but are not as powerful as the other races;

They can have familiars in the form of different sea creatures of their choice;

Mermaids can shapeshift into humans at will;

They are more vulnerable to fire and need to need to keep themselves hydrated, drinking more water on a daily basis than a human normally needs;

Their singing can cause hallucinations, illusions and hypnosis;

They can manipulate the water and it’s temperature, being able to cause small storms with the proper training and skill;

Their power increases with the full moon;

Mermaids feed on human flesh, but can eat human food without issues;

They are not immortal, but can live considerably longer than humans due to the high resistance of their bodies;

In their regular form, mermaids have two rows of sharp teeth and are able to extend their jaws out of their mouths for bigger bites, much like many species of sharks;

They are cold blooded creatures;

Their blood is copper based, giving it a blue color;

Mermaid tears contain healing properties;
