Harmony: Girl's night, done right, is about female bonding, sharing problems, origin stories, secrets...

Anglerfish Siren: Can't we just drink?

Zapple: Don't be a spoilsport. I'll start. Ummm...I started doing drag races when I was fifteen.

Rottytops: Can I come perform at your next one?

Zapple: I'll see what I can do. Your turn.

Rottytops: I used to steal caravans!

Coral Siren: Nice. Who's next?

Anglerfish Siren: FINE, I'll go. I was forged in the bowels of hell to torture the guilty for all of eternity.

Coral Siren: Huh. Interesting share.

@sunnybunny2468 Thank you for the requests!! These were such good ideas omg 👀👀👀I love the idea of a siren who, instead of luring victims with a typical song of temptation and promises, sings the most melancholy cry that draws in people feeling extremely protective over him. They find he's just as sweet as his voice leads them to believe (but watch out!) I was cracking up over the whole concept of Merfuuta, and thought this would be perfect seeing as axlotls are a type of salamander hehe. He's grumpy because no phone underwater >:(

Update!

Decided we’d have to do no flow or all the flow so I added some extra fins. Idk how I feel about them, they’re a little clunky here which might be why I don’t like them much rn… we’ll see if they stay. Luring fish in when you’re at least ten times the size of them can be difficult to keep out of their way, so the extra fins and such are meant to mimic seaweed. This is in case other fish run into his massive tail in the dark, they won’t think much of it. The extra fins are there to make that more convincing.

The lights along the sides of his tail can be controlled independently from the one on his head, and are used mostly for communication purposes.

Sirens, with beautiful bodies and enchanting voices to lure their prey, but they have the eyes and teeth of deep sea creatures

[squid-ink-arts]

Beware Sirens with a halo, it may just be a lure to bring you within striking distance. I give you, the Angelerfish mermaid!

Anglerfish Siren: "OMG how do you come up with this stuff!!!" Well, I've been plagued by visions since birth.

Bolo: I think that's called having eyes.

So I'm normal now.

Anyway

Couple months ago.... I vaguely remembered a ceremony Lev and I had in the astral. I've been.... Not misremembering but not taking it seriously lmfao. It was not a proposal, or at least it wasn't just a proposal

He took me - or more so. we both ended up there. we followed fate - down beside a river that was running through some forest. It wasn't... mental as in mindspace, it was more like Unmade world in the depths of our own names. We swore oaths in something similar to what's done on his plane, swearing things I'm not going to get into but... working with the mirrors that are our own souls. reflecting words off each other. Weaving, sewing, one needle passed between two threads. It was... absolutely words. It was not words. It was both. It was a third thing. It was a fourth thing. It was stars interacting, knitting the Sky together. It was stars that have always been touching even if they're miles apart. Scrolls of logic and coding contained in momentary dancing of lips.

We were already bound before that, but that's what the mirrors were about - we were reasserting our boundaries. We are tied, and now as separate beings we are bound. We reflect each other in each other's eyes, not just seeing through them. We were We now, a word that communicates a singularity in multiplicity and a multiplicity in singularity. Bound. Tied. Of the same thread. All the same thing. The tapestry and the weavers

The ceremony saw us putting our names into the river which. blurred together, but also remained separate. An emulsion almost, alloy, unity. We walk as one, but with two feet. We are the two wings of the Sky Bird.

So... I've been misunderstanding the ceremony and oaths as.... proposal, but the closest translation absolutely is marriage.

husbands.

Anglerfish are one of my absolute favorite deep-sea beasts. I’ll always have a soft spot for the deadly girlies. This little siren is Harriet🖤

[snowyrey]

even tho i’m (mostly) done with after hours, these two still have me in a chokehold

wanted to try making my own au after seeing how many there are here and i think i’m starting to land on something i like

fun lil fantasy world hehe- moon is a siren based on an eel and anglerfish, and sun is based on a pheonix(maybe a harpy also?? idk i thought of this maybe an hour ago)

[illarian-rambling]

I think an important and underrated part of worldbuilding (at least for me) is what higher power characters swear by

All my humans from urban areas (Twenari, Djek, Mashal, and we'll count Ivander) swear by "gods beyond." It's the most common exclamation and you'll even catch some non-humans using it nowadays.

Astra is the exception when it comes to humans. She's from an insular, rural area, so she talks a little different. You're not going to catch anyone else saying "gods a'mighty" except her.

Izjik usually goes for a simple "spirits." However, she doesn't usually swear by deities as much as the others, given her history. Best not to draw any more of their attention than necessary.

Sepo sometimes puts out a simple "gods," but more often, you'll see him sign "Great Anglerfish," which is the highest of siren gods. After his faith crisis, he quits that habit, though.

Skysheerians (Elsind and Avymere) go with a "bright gods." This is a bit of a holdover from the old Aderenon religion. The gods might not be worshipped any longer, but their linguistic marks are still there.

Nabafyrians (Nyda) don't swear by any gods, but by "glory" or, more commonly, "glory's hand." It's the highest power within their culture - with enough glory, anyone can be immortal.

Pash is also an odd duck. Fair Folk swear by their queen. "By the Queen," or "Queen's spire," are the most popular.

Anarac, being an Araunian, worships the sun and swears by its name. The Araunian word for god is actually sun - other cultures picked it up from them long ago to reference that big ball of fire in the sky, but lost the religious connotation.

Call this the Brandon Sanderson method lol
