#and there was an under water ship

[sunnysidesevenup]

U gotta tell us how Neige reacted when he first saw Arlo's merform and maybe how it happened?? /Nf

Was going to make this a comic at first but then I realized I had too much I wanted to say and a lot of it wouldn’t translate well, so here’s a little scene lol. read under the cut!!

also tagging ppl hehe,,, @jadelover69 @lallopsyou @miriaocs

“You know… RSA has a pool!” Neige says, arms behind his back while he smiles at Arlo. “It can even be reserved, and there’s both an indoor and outdoor one!”

Arlo blinks at him. “Oh… that’s cool? I didn’t know you liked swimming that much.”

Neige makes a face at him, fond but a little exasperated.

“What?”

“I was inviting you.” He explains.

“Oh. Oh!” The mer tilts his head. “To… RSA? To swim? I don’t know how to swim as a human, though.”

Neige shakes his head. “That’s okay! Lots of mers use the pool in their normal forms, it’s plenty big enough and it’s maintained by magic, so there’s no chemicals! I thought it would be nice, since you said it was a bit annoying being stuck as a human all the time the other week.”

“But would it really be okay…? I’m not an RSA student.”

Neige smiles at him, “I promise it’s fine.” He reassures, and Arlo finally seems to calm down a little.

“Alright, then.”

-

“You weren’t joking about the pool being big enough.” Arlo says, staring at the outdoor pool on the RSA grounds.

Neige laughs, tilting his head at him. “We have a swim team! They usually use the indoor one, though.” He moves to sit beside Arlo, who’s on the edge of the water with a hand reached out. He touches it, feeling the temperature and humming.

“It’s not too cold, right? It’s heated.”

“The ocean is colder, and my body handles the cold well even as a human. I’m more worried about you.”

Neige giggles. Arlo’s always worrying about him, even when he doesn’t need to. “I’ll be okay!”

Truthfully, he’s not that great of a swimmer, but he’s decent enough. He’d like to improve, especially now when he plans to spend a lot more time around one particular merfolk.

“Do you need to change, or anything?” Arlo asks curiously.

“Nope! Made sure I already put on swimwear, so we can just jump right in!” Strangely, he’s a little nervous. He’s never seen Arlo’s mer form before! It’s exciting!

“Okay.” Arlo nods, and then simply jumps into the pool immediately, making sure to angle it so the splash doesn’t hit Neige.

There’s moments of still silence, the other boy not re-emerging from below the water, and although it’s irrational he starts to grow a bit worried while waiting. Nothing could have gone wrong, right? It was unlikely, but maybe he should just go in right away—

There’s another splash, and the surface breaks, Arlo re-emerging from beneath the water.

There’s a moment where Neige can’t even process what he’s seeing, the only word coming to mind being wow.

Arlo tilts his head at him, and there’s so much blue of so many different shades and the scales on his cheeks are so shimmery, glittering in the light. The color of his hair is a little different, too, the hues mixed with reds and greens and blues to match the rest of him. It’s come loose from its usual style, and the strands curl around his face, longer than Neige usually gets to see.

This is how you look? He thinks, and he knows he’s got a dumb, awestruck look on his face. He can’t help it.

“Oh… I probably should have warned you how big of a difference it is.” The mer says, and wow his eyes haven’t changed color but the sclera is red now and they’re so green. “It’s not as big a difference as some other mers, but… it’s probably a bit strange.”

“It’s not strange!” Neige immediately blurts, shaking his head. He moves closer to the edge of the water so he can see better, eyes on the swishing tail he can see behind his companion. The colors are mesmerizing, glittering under the sunlight. “Arlo, you’re gorgeous.” He says, sincerity dripping from his words.

Arlo’s eyes widen—his eyes really are so pretty—and he stares for a second before shaking his head frantically. “You— Wh—.. I—“

The mers skin flushes a darker blue (blue!!) and Neige has only a second to appreciate it before he’s ducked back beneath the water.

“Wait! Arlo, ack, come back! Don’t be embarrassed, it’s true!”

I have one (1) opinion about the hypothetical future Little playlist which is that House Of The Rising Sun should be on it. The moment I first saw Nedward I said now there is a man who should be telling me about a house in New Orleans.

Kind of want to see a panel or fic where the League shows up and helps Aquaman and Mera get a pod of stranded whales back into the sea. Between their powers and Aquaman's abilities, the whales actually make it to sea and survive.

wait this is myyyy third? betta that was just given to me bc it sucks and is ugly. As an adult, I've never paid money for a betta fish. Tbf I didn't pay for the ones my parents kept when I was like 4-5 but those were still formative creatures in my life and I assume they were paid for.

He Xuan: You always say that I can't do anything without your help, so I'm going to prove you wrong.

Hua Cheng, with raised eyebrows: Oh?

He Xuan: Yeah, I just need one thing-

He Xuan: Your help

Went on a vacation on a whim and it's my first time out in the open sea, I've never been so afraid. At least the sunrise is pretty.

[hanakihan]

man you have no idea the sheer DESIRE to write something about Titanic esque chulwoo AU

The main drill is that Sungs come from a rather wealthy old noble family (courtesy of Ashborn as their predecessor being royal knight or smth), Jin-Woo is a next heir while Jin-Ah studies to become a doctor (or a nurse depending on timeline it happens im not even completely sure with setting but probably og titanic vibe mixed with Korean Idek wheeze) and parents send them on a cruise ship for vacation (and in hopes jinwoo will meet nice noblewoman or any woman since sungs are pretty chill about bloodline)

Then there’s Jin-Chul who’s a ship engineer/captain in training courtesy of navy captain on pension Gun-Hee. Gun-Hee comes from rather humble background but managed to reach rather prestigious position of first navy and then civil ship captain but now he’s on pension, and this man is an example to Jin-Chul that you can reach your dream despite your upbringing. Jin-Chul himself also comes from rather humble background on verge of poverty but money and fame never fascinated him, but ships and sailing did. When Jin-Chul was assigned on Gun-Hee’s ship as a new engineer, Gun-Hee saw talent in boy and unofficially took him under his wing teaching him to be a captain. Then Gun-Hee left (or honestly more likely was forcefully dismissed) and Jin-Chul got assigned as one of engineers/coal workers on this giant ship, but Gun-Hee still sails under his own name as a trader or smth like that.

Cue sailing day and at evening Jin-Woo excused himself since noble parties bore him to death and anyway, evening is beautiful and sea is calm. Wandering around he stumbles upon Jin-Chul doing small repairs and who nearly hit Jin-Woo in nose with his elbow because he came too close without announcement. Jin-Chul stiffly apologizing because he knows how annoying nobles can be but is surprised when Jin-Woo is the one to apologize for being so careless and invites him for an apology tea or coffee since compared to other choices Jin-Chul seems as a perfect company thanks to his sharp tongue, wits and knowledge.

Some day of cruise pass and they become rather close friends, Jin-Woo visits Jin-Chul in lowest decks which surprises everyone here and they have a rather nice drinking and dancing session, while in turn Jin-Woo helps Jin-Chul to sneak in 1st class deck so they can chat and play chess in peace of room (and so he can introduce Jin-Chul to Jin-Ah). Jin-Woo even tries to gift Jin-Chul his sapphire brooch so he can sell it for nice sum of money and get his own ship or even open his own company or smth, but Jin-Chul politely refuses, satisfied with their friendship.

Cue disaster night. Now think about captain being an incompetent prick (maybe even on levels of Costa Concordia captain damn) and fucking up entire probably miss into sure hit (even if Jin-Chul risked it and asked people to follow his instructions despite it being a big ass discipline insubordination but no one really minded because people saw that captain gives shit orders) but since bridge was still under captains command, instructions contradicted, but it still allowed a graze hit rather than direct one. So yea this gets worse, Jin-Chul was in section that suffered from impact and got tore, barely got out of here along with most of his men. Seeing how fast water fills decks he tells people to go higher and himself runs to find Sungs or other people he knows. Apparently he finds panicking Jin-Ah and through dangers of ice cold water and falling construction manages to cross paths with Jin-Woo until they got separated again. They manage to get out of sinking shell that nearly becomes their coffin (because he promised Jin-Woo to take care of and save Jin-Ah no matter what goddamnit), Jin-Chul manages to place Jin-Ah on some drifting wood before starting to sink because of cold water.

Now, I’m a sucker for happy endings despite shit looking really bad, so let’s say Jin-Woo with others on safe boat manages to find shell shocked Jin-Ah wrapped in Jin-Chul’s coat, pointing at water and trying to say something with her teeth chattering and managing to say that he’s drowning, Jin-Woo saying ‘not on my fucking watch’ and jumps after, managing to grab him and drag on surface, man is absolutely freezing with lips blue and not really conscious but still weakly breathing.

ANYWAY they safely get back on shore, they all get medical treatment, Jin-Chul earns himself pneumonia (well fuck his sailing dreams ig), Sungs’ gratitude for saving their children and a fucking trial because captain blamed entire catastrophe on lower deck crew defying his orders and following engineer’s ones and that’s a big ass crime in navy. Things ain’t looking good because they want to prosecute him in shortest time to give people answers who’s the guilty one, Jin-Woo is really ready to throw hands with people, Jin-Chul’s patient explanations through coughs ain’t helping because no one can confirm accuracy of his words and that’s when Gun-Hee himself enters court saying smth like ‘maybe you should interrogate deck staff too to hear what commands captain was giving’ and then our sir proceeds to destroy this captain‘s whole career. Jin-Chul is cleaned of accusations and becomes a sort of a good example semi-legend, but thanks to extreme colds diving he now can’t sail on long distances but fear not Gun-Hee invites him to work for him since Jin-Chul is out of commission and Jin-Woo once again gifts Jin-Chul a sapphire brooch but this time asking if Jin-Chul will share future with him. Jin-Chul honestly having ??? reaction while Jin-Woo with the most deadpan face asks ‘You seriously think I’ll dive into cold waters of ocean at night to drag you on surface and then using my body warmth to keep you alive if i didn’t cared about you???’

[starswallowingsea]

today at work right before we closed i had a guy come up to me and try to debate with me that shipwrecks should be raised and preserved above the water because they're just rotting beneath the waves and we're losing so much history as if the water isnt the reason they preserve as well as they do half the time. things rot and decay no matter what we do with them we should leave them where they are going to be preserved the best with the least amount of money involved (ie create shipwreck/maritime sanctuaries and don't allow them to be disturbed).

also WHERE THE FUCK WOULD WE PUT THE FUCKING SHIPWRECKS

[artemistorm]

You'd think I was in the lost woods with all this brain fog.
