#drowning while scuba diving

[curmudgeonness]

Off to school/work!

In six days, there will be seven teenagers in the household.

[llamagoddessofficial]

As a scuba diver I can confirm how quickly a peaceful dive can turn scary; on a sea dive I was so caught up in the moment that I completely forgot to watch my oxygen gauge. Thankfully my buddy was there to let me use his air supply and take me to the surface.

What would the siren boys do if MC got into danger while diving, such as very low oxygen? Maybe MC was pulled by the current and drifted away from other divers? Would they help her or take advantage of the situation?

Sans: Her life entirely depends how serious the 'trouble' in question is.

He'll save her if it's a very easy problem for him to solve. Like... if she's near the surface but runs out of air, he can rush her up the last couple of metres. If she drifts away from her friends and is struggling hard against the current, he can loop her arms around his neck and swim her back to them. Things that are emergencies to her, but slight inconveniences to him, he'll help with - especially since saving her life is a very easy way to get a LOT of favour with her. He likes the way she looks at him after he saves her. Beautiful, breathless, exhausted, staring like for a moment she adores him as much as he adores her.

However... a more complex issue? He'd let her drown. Maybe she's too far away from the surface and taking her straight upward wouldn't be safe. Maybe she's entered a state of panic and is making things worse for herself and he can't convince her to hold onto him. Maybe, even, she's in trouble but she simply hasn't seen him. If she never knew he was there she wouldn't be upset he didn't help.

He'll watch. It's just a little bit of discomfort. Then? They can be together forever.

Red: Come on. It's our boy. Our respect women juice chugging world champ - of course he'll rescue her, no matter what.

Her dive buddies definitely recount the story to her. Red was goofing off like he always does, nipping and shoving people he doesn't like, making it clear he's the 'alpha' around here. But suddenly, something about him flips... something in his disposition instantly changes. He becomes completely serious, and beelines into the near distance.

... And it's only once he's with her that everyone else notices she's silently struggling. They wouldn't have known to help if Red hadn't drawn attention to her.

He acts silly and stupid. But he's always paying attention to his mate, even when far away, using his incredible senses to keep tabs. He can sense her heartbeat with his electroreception, hear her breathing in the regulator, smell her blood in her veins. He's much smarter than he acts, and if the situation gets messy, there's not much better help underwater than a massive aggressive shark who'll move mountains to keep her safe.

Skull: Surprisingly, he'll do his absolute best to save her.

You'd expect the big lug to be the one actively pulling her down. But Skull doesn't really have a plan, so to speak, with his beloved little diver, he isn't plotting her death like Sans. He just wants to be around her; he wants to court her, show her what a good mate he'll be, show her pretty rocks and gifts, win her love and pull her back no matter how many times she tries to swim away from him. So it doesn't really matter what's happening - if Skull sees her struggling, he just sees his mate in distress, and he wants to rescue her. He doesn't like seeing her in visible pain or terror.

He might be delayed in helping if she's under the effects of nitrogen narcosis, because that just makes you act silly and drunk, so he wouldn't actually know anything was wrong. But as soon as he notices something off (she takes out her regulator, passes out, etc) he'll do everything he can to save her. He's a good boy underneath all those scars and deadly tentacles.

Stupid Shit I’ve done/Gotten myself into by accident/been dragged into as Twisted Wonderland Characters:

Leona: Slept through an earthquake and 3 ambulances coming to my house bcs my sister was hurt.

Ruggie: Waited for families going inside to pass by and asked them to hold the door for me so I could sneak into a VIP rooms for free food. (Usually only at fancy hotels but luckily this strategy is flexible when your 5’2 with a baby face.)

Jack: Used to Smash open large rocks containing Crystals or Quartz at the beach as a kid, and now I have a large collection of them.

Bonus: I have extremely good hearing, to the point I hear into the negative decibels up to -15 - -20 (according to the audiologist this is rare but i literally don’t know shit about audio and decibels) so my old dormmates used to try and bribe me to tell them what I heard about certain things or themselves.

Bonus 2: Almost got shot by an illegal hunter while in the woods with my sister.

Floyd : Cracked my skull open at the pool, lost consciousness for a few seconds and woke up in the water calling for help, then got confused on why I was calling for help.

(I had covid and was A-Symptomatic)

Bonus : Lived in the Woods for 7 months (in total), had a large bag of mica and Almost Drowned in a tent when there was no moving water nor rain. (Basically, I was asleep, Woke up underwater, nearly went back to bed, then shot out of my tent screaming “My Tent Titanticed!” )

Bonus: I lived on a middle of fuck knows where island during the spring and summer up until covid, yet I absolutely despise eating fish or Shellfish, and the smell often makes me nauseous.

Kalim : Got distracted by a cool leaf while at a fancy resort in Xatapa, Mexico, and waddled off from my parents and explored around to try and find more, somehow managed to get extremely far and ended up lost in a whole different city for 6 hours while trying to find my way back.

Bonus 1: I had an obsession with Kiwis for awhile as a kid, and our neighbors house had a Pangium tree that reached over to our yard. (It was planted before either families moved in so we didn’t know) I thought it was some kind of strange Kiwi and ate one. I didn’t like it and was like “Oh maybe its not ripe” and waited 3-5 months then tried it again, same reaction, repeat process one more time.

I went to my parents out of curiosity and asked them what it was, and so after some process I am unaware of but I think my mom brought one of the fruits somewhere, we discovered what it was.

Pangium contains Fatal amounts of Cyanide if not properly prepared. I was fine but for the love of anything please don’t try eating it like little me did.

Bonus 2: I’ve Almost died more times than I can count on both hands and feet. Im not an heir or something fancy I just have wackass luck.

Jamil: Once had to talk my sister out of jumping off a tour boat because our cousin dared her to.

Bonus : Managed to make French Toast in the middle of the woods with Dehydrated Milk, Cinnamon, Three Eggs I stole, and a loaf of bread we got once a month. Also made 3 kinds marinated chicken in the middle of the woods.

(My Cooking Style is literally “just trust me bro.” I’m like Lilia except it actually works and is edible)

Epel : Whenever we went applepicking at my Grandfathers house, I’d climb into the trees and throw or pass the apples down. Sometimes I actually wish I could sit in trees more often shits comfy.

Bonus: My Mom was a Champion Horseback Rider as a kid, and sometimes took us to this Ranch I shall not name for my own privacy, but I’d run around with this group of kids and this one herding dog like a damn movie protagonist, sometimes go riding horses, or the one time we stole a tractor and near crashed it (THE REGRETS I STILL HAVE-) etc.

The WHIPLASH from that to going back to a whitewashed Northeast suburban town is insane.

Rook: My Cousins and I, and sometimes the kids at the priorly mentioned ranch, would play the most intense games of manhunt (basically really intense hide n seek at night) ,

I mean wearing camo if you had it, alliances, little dollar store walkie-talkies, code words, binoculars, climbing in trees or hiding in bushes/tall grasses/Hay to “scout”.

I hid in a large pot/vase more than once and another time on a roof, and (ONLY ONCE, DO NOT DO THIS IM STUPID) under a car.

I still remain the top in last man standing points. Mostly bcs I’m stingy with rescues but shhh

Vil - Accidentally poured a lot of liquid eyeliner into my eye, was literally crying out Eyeliner for 30 minutes. Also taught myself to run and jump in heels as a kid because I thought it looked cool in movies.

Ortho : Unknowingly was Hacking my Elementary School Databank for several years,

I genuinely thought it was normal to go on the school website, press a few buttons and be able to find a friends address if I had a playdate and needed to tell my mom where the house was, a parents phone number if needed communication with my friends parents , and mostly ignored the other general info.

I didn’t even know I did this until my dad told me a few months ago that I almost got suspended for it but by the time they found out it was the end of my last year there. ;—;

Edit: I feel I should elaborate that my dad had somewhat recently told me that I almost got suspended for that in elementary school, but all that happened 5 YEARS ago. Hence why I was so surprised because I was never told back then.

Idia: Accidentally acquired both a Nahida and Eula in Genshin and was genuinely annoyed at the time, they are now my most powerful DPS’s…

Bonus : I own a shit ton of original Japanese first edition Pokemon Cards my cousin gave me, (they are probably worth more than me which is neat), and I have a giant pile of Pokemon plushies I have infact fallen asleep on or in on multiple occasions.

Bonus 2: I was playing Breath of the Wild, and my very first thing I did after getting off the plateau was beeline for the castle. I actually got all the way up and took out 2 blights but the Wind one kicked my ass.

Bonus 3: Got confessed to and asked out by a guy I did not like nor knew very well, and I panicked, said “Maybe, Sorry no.” And ran into a wall. Also have crawled through a chute to avoid an awkward situation as a kid (do not recommend its dusty and definitely not safe)

Bonus 4: Once didn’t sleep for 5 days.

Malleus : Accidentally attended a Private Party and a Private Funeral in the same week. I was not invited nor knew anyone present. Stayed there for most of it because I was too nervous to say I wasn’t supposed to be there. Whoop.

Bonus: Got nicknamed the “Trip Curse.” By my Old Dormmates because everytime I went on a trip with them everything seemed to go to shit or get hella chaotic.

Bonus 2: Another camping one: Once woke up at night with a shit ton of fireflies just chilling in my tent. It was serene but also I genuinely thought I was hallucinating for a few minutes.

Lilia: Literally will hang upside down anywhere I can, its so fun bro.

Bonus : I know an extremely large amount of useless historical information, and once genuinely realized I know more about poison than what flour and eggs are used for in baking.

Silver : Once befriended a wild horse ( Im like 90% sure he was a Chestnut).

I called him Clover the Dog like horse because he was honestly just a golden retriever in the body of a horse.

This is great and theres alot of sweet moments, but then theres the times you have a giant horse galloping full speed at you for attention or trying to nudge you affectionately and nearly pushing you into a creek in the process.

Sebek: Got groundstruck by lightning once. Also I am often told I have a loud voice.

Che’nya : a good friend of mine and I have an inside joke at school where if we see eachother through a window (my school has alot of indoor windows for some reason?), we’ll text the other “Behind you.” Or “To your left.”

——————-

Theres more things I can think of but I have run out of characters and this is getting too long, so ye!

[morbidology]

Tina Watson, born Christina Mae Thomas, was a 26-year-old woman from Alabama who had recently married Gabe Watson, her college sweetheart. The couple had a shared interest in scuba diving, and they chose the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, as the perfect destination to kick off their new life together. Gabe, an experienced diver, had over 50 dives under his belt, while Tina was relatively new to the sport.

On October 22, 2003, the couple joined a group of divers for an expedition at a site called the SS Yongala, a shipwreck popular among divers. According to Gabe Watson, shortly after the dive began, Tina began to experience difficulties. Gabe later claimed that Tina panicked and knocked his mask off, causing him to swim to the surface to get help. When he returned, he said, Tina was already unconscious on the ocean floor.

Tina was rescued by another diver and brought to the surface, where attempts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful. She was pronounced dead on the scene, and what had begun as a dream honeymoon had turned into an unimaginable nightmare.

Tina’s death was initially ruled an accident, attributed to drowning and possible inexperience with diving. However, as the investigation progressed, authorities began to suspect foul play. Witnesses reported seeing Gabe Watson act unusually during the dive, and questions were raised about the couple’s relationship and the circumstances leading up to Tina’s death.

The most damning evidence against Gabe Watson came from Tina’s autopsy, which suggested that her death might not have been accidental. It was determined that Tina’s air supply had been turned off during the dive, and her body was found in an area where the current was not strong enough to have caused the kind of panic that Gabe described. Additionally, investigators discovered that Gabe had increased Tina’s life insurance policy shortly before the wedding, with himself as the primary beneficiary.

Furthermore, fellow diver, Dr Stanley Stutz told authorities that he had witnessed David giving Christina a “bear hug” as she was flailing in the water, clearly distressed, before he saw David reappear at the surface as Christina sunk to the bottom. Another diver, Gary Stempler, snapped the disturbing above photograph which shows Christina lying on the bottom of the ocean. The photos were developed a few weeks after her death.

In 2008, five years after Tina's death, Gabe Watson was charged with her murder by Australian authorities. Watson agreed to return to Australia to face the charges, and in 2009, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, claiming that he had failed to fulfill his duty as her dive buddy. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, a sentence that many, including Tina’s family, felt was shockingly lenient.

Following his release from prison in Australia, Gabe Watson returned to the United States, where he faced additional charges of murder in Alabama. U.S. prosecutors argued that Watson had plotted to kill Tina in order to collect on her life insurance, and they sought to try him for capital murder.

The case drew significant media attention, with debates over whether Watson should be tried again for the same crime he had already been convicted of in Australia. In 2012, the Alabama judge overseeing the case dismissed the charges due to insufficient evidence, concluding that there was no proof that Watson had intentionally killed his wife.

My Roommates from Atlantis

Prologue

A FNAF ☀️ & 🌙 Mermay AU

Ever wonder where mythical creatures originated from? How did they come about? Myths and legends had to come from somewhere, surely it wasn’t just people making up stories to occupy their time… right? Across cultures there are similarities between the mythical beasts that men encountered throughout history. Yes there are differences but the core traits remain the same. For example, dragons existed in Norse mythology as well as Asian legends, Greeks also had dragons that came in many shapes and forms. Such similarities between cultures, myths, and legends HAVE to have some truth to them. Surely some of the creatures that you imagined as a child were real, somewhere. At least that’s what you used to think a few months ago.

If someone told you that your little island tourist town off the coast of Athens was a refuge for sirens, would you have believed them? Probably not. There are many so called “sightings” of mermaids or sirens in the area but you had always chalked it up to just being a tourist attraction, ways to bring money in and hype the guided reef and ruin tours your island home is known for. You’ve done hundreds of dives and never seen any indication of intelligent human-fish hybrids, they are just myths… or rather WERE myths. Now you know better than to doubt the existence of any magical creatures that scientists declare were never real. They are real, they are very powerful, very dangerous, and really, really annoying sometimes.

What started out as photos for tourists grew into a hobby of yours, marine photography. Taking underwater photos of people doing lame peace signs while scuba diving around the reefs was dull and quite boring until you became fascinated with the buzzing life behind the people. The communities that the reefs hold and the many mysteries behind each fish, mammal, or crustacean captivate you every time. Though you’ve seen these reefs and ruins countless times, there is always something new to discover.

Life eventually gave you a break and you were able to afford your own small boat. Rickety and probably not the safest but it is yours nonetheless. You took it out often to go take photos of the marine life around your town, mostly for yourself but you do sell them to local shops as postcards, prints, or larger framed decor. After developing photos several months ago you began to notice a figure in the background. Large like a shark. Well hidden. Almost unnoticeable but definitely there once you found it. It wasn’t like any normal creature you had seen, at first you could never come up with a logical explanation. After spending all your savings on an underwater camera, hiding it, then recording clear footage of the creature did you devise a plan to get a closer look at it. That was your first mistake.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat or in this case, the dumb human.

After several attempts you finally got the face to face introduction you wanted but you injured yourself in the process and nearly drowned. He still hasn’t let that one go either, teases you constantly for it. You had made friends with a siren that you didn’t think really existed, it was cool. You learned a lot from him, a lot about the society of reef life and some other oddities like a dolphin that had a crush on one of your coworkers. One thing lead to another and you found out your new friend had a brother, a brother who preferred the night over the day. That was one meeting you were NOT prepared for.

Kraken. Leviathan. Giant squid. Any of them would suffice but none are less terrifying and easy to greet without freezing with fear, especially when he’s a trickster and loves scaring you half to death any chance he gets. You tried not to ask questions when the siren (who is about the size of a great white shark) introduces the kraken (who is easily the size of two large fishing boats) as his beloved brother. Family is family you guess, even though it made no sense whatsoever. Now you had one siren best friend and one gigantic, mischievous urchin who loved annoying you.

Everything was great for a while, you got VIP tours of areas you’ve never been to, seen treasure from multiple eras, and learned how to be friends with one mean looking “pet” shark. Life was pretty good until you had the pleasure of meeting siren hunters. You didn’t know such people existed, let alone how extreme they were. They were willing to do whatever it took to capture sirens at the expense of nothing, not even trading human lives for information would stop them. Why they are so desperate to capture sirens is still a mystery, one you aren’t willing to dig to find the answer to. Unfortunately you learned the hard way that getting noticed by them usually leads to death and although your new friends saved you, the price for such a deed cost you your life as a normal human.

Yep. You’re officially a scaly sea dweller. Perfect.

Which now brings you to the predicament you are currently facing. Conveniently sirens (and krakens) can live on land for periods of time disguised as humans which is just great and totally what you needed. To make matters worse, you’ve discovered they are no ordinary fish people either, they are gods, THE gods. The rulers of the seas, creators of the mermaids and sea creatures of legend, Poseidon and Neptune. So now you have two “cousins” staying with you, sleeping in your living room, eating your food, spending your money, taking up what minimal space you have at your shack of a house all while trying to hide your secrets from the crazy, psychotic, siren hunters who want to skin you alive.

This is going to be one LONG summer….

Sorry for wasting your time just wanted to give a crossover art idea .

Baby Jane Splicer scuba diving underwater using her meat hooks to swim around while getting snout nuzzles by the Small Bull Shark Pup aka the shark protagonist from the game Maneater

as Baby Jane gently pets it’s snout with her other free hand.

Headcanons: the reason why Baby Jane is surviving the underwater pressure while out in the open of the underwater city of Rapture is cause she found a old left over prototype Adam Plasmid case in a abandoned lab and of course she immediately took that due to her obsession

with adam and being a star but since she didn’t have a adam needle for it. she decided to drank it all down unknowningly giving her genetic evolution to withstand deep oceanic pressure’s.

so when the area of the city flooded underwater she didn’t immediately drown and was able to handle the pressure quite surprising her in the process but still didn’t help her air issue a lot as she still panicked even at the sight of other drowning splicers.

Jane would almost be attacked by a random hungry great white shark until she would be saved by a mysterious coloured bull shark pup who helped fight off the great white despite its small size.

as it would friendly like help lead over Jane to abandoned unknown area while underwater leading her to left over not found scuba equipment and allow Jane to use and breath from but she still highly wasn’t used to it but thankful she didn’t drown

As Jane decides to put on the other swim wear stuff things just to least fit in the underwater environment.

Jane would have odd unique small shark companion but slowly to curiously like it and how it seems to not mind her as a splicer and especially is friendly and keeps her safe underwater.

tho occasionally Baby Jane recklessly crazily would try to use her scuba diving advantage to try and fight Subject Delta

while muffled underwater cursing it out lmao.

while underwater only for the Bull Shark Pup to prevent her and distracts her with underwater nuzzles since fighting a Big Daddy Is death sentence.

Baby Jane would be muffled underwater pouty

but notices her scary underwater situation.

but she thankfully takes advantage swimming or climbing on things while underwater catching adam slugs to satisfy herself and even slowly grows bit of humanity as the Bull Shark Pup is quite friendly and helps keep her alive underwater tho Jane is quite crazy and a splicer.

she is slowly learning to careful tho she for fun takes advantage in showing off while scuba diving underwater and being the star she wishes to dream to be Despite the Bull Shark Pup curiously doesn’t mind until Baby Jane crazily starts adoring the Bull Shark Pup and cuddles it close while attaching herself to a wall.

my own art ref’s to show what I mean and other refs. 🦈🤿🪸🫧

awe this is a cool idea, and the Baby Jane befriending the shark is really nice and sweet. Ty for sharing this :D

[lucifer-imaginaryfriend]

Just a mini cute drawing request I thought of sorry and hope it can be possibly done pls ! and it’s ok if you can’t do it but thank you tho for checking it out and pls have a safe day or night !

Jaws my 12 year old human kid oc snorkelling underwater alongside Millie from Helluva Boss as she is scuba diving underwater and protective adoptive parent like keeping Jaws safe close by holding his human kid hand gently

while swimming alongside and petting the Bull Shark Pup aka the shark protagonist from the Game Maneater and in a peaceful underwater coral reef environment.

Also secretly Moxxie is there while scuba diving just to keep a close eye on both Millie and Jaws protectively caring like while being cautious.

The ref images I sent were to help show the design of my oc Jaws including the Bull Shark Pup

and what Millie wears while underwater.

a black red long sleeved zip swimsuit diving fins and scuba tank on her back while breathing from the oxygen mouthpiece in her mouth

and armed with a sharp dive knife in her other hand and diving mask on her face. Jaws has greyish ruffled up hair freckles on his face grey red eyes light skin tone .

wears a grey white short sleeved wetsuit grey diving fins and grey diving mask on his face with a snorkel attached to it while carrying a mini waterproof handmade great white shark plush.

the reason behind this mini cute scenario is that Millie and Moxxie were sent to do some scuba diving immediate murder professionals tasks basically killing or drowning bad people known for some terrible shit or for selfishly screwing over other people in the past for their own gain. but in the process Millie and Moxxie would come across a mysterious 12 year old human kid alone underwater in the ocean with no parents or even no siblings and decide to secretly adopt him due to his cute silent mute curious nature of things and due to Jaws’s feral ability to survive on his own and silent selflessness

Secretly they would eventually found out Jaws been surviving on a very old abandoned fishing boat in the middle of the ocean for a long time increasing their worries and protectiveness towards him alot 🦈🤿🫧.

I really like the concept behind all that! Thank you very much for your request! Some parts I had to modify but I hope you like the final drawing!

I hope it's okay in doodle form, I thought it looked cute this way

[princescar]

would it pls be okay if I can give this drawing request pls if possible and thank you! and it’s ok if you can’t do it but thank you for checking it out

Himiko Yumeno from Danganronpa V3 Killing Harmony

swimming underwater in the academy pool and alongside the Bull Shark Pup aka the shark protagonist from the Game Maneater and petting it’s snout.

Details: the image ref’s I sent were to help show what Himiko wears while underwater and the design of the Bull Shark Pup

Himiko wears a dark red long sleeved zip up swimsuit while wearing black red diving fins on her feet and black red diving mask on her face.

Scenario: Himiko would sneak out late at night while in Hope’s Peak Academy and go to the academy deep end swimming pool to sneakily recklessly practice her underwater escape acts in the pool.

Himiko would wear mini underwater hand cuffs and ball chain attached to her leg as she is at the bottom of the pool using a mini lock pick and carefully holding her breath

and focused on getting herself out and not drown to prove why her Ultimate Student Talent as Magician .

meanwhile Junko be secretly scuba diving in the pool and notices Himiko Praticing her underwater escape act and decides to have despair fun by firing a loud harpoon from her monokuma like speargun towards Himiko as it got embedded into the swimming pool wall

shocking Himiko a lot as she lost grip of her lock pick

and tries to swim and grab it even if her hands are still hand cuffed Himiko would try to swim upwards but weighed down by the ball and chain on her leg and Just As Himiko was about to drown

Junko laughs crazily despair like until she gets surprised by the sight of a uniquely coloured Bull Shark Pup swimming around in the pool for unknown reasons

but Junko cares less and smugly crazily believes it’s about to attack and eat Himiko

until the Bull Shark Pup fast like swims toward Himiko and helps bite the handcuff’s off Himiko’s arms causing her to be surprised but still struggling to hold her breath

The Bull Shark Pup was about to swim down and help bite off the. Ball and Chain’s rope attached to Himiko’s leg preventing her from swimming up to the surface of the water until the shark slowly turns in Junko’s direction surprising her a bit as she waves in normal Junko fashion.

until outta nowhere the shark pup secretly has glowing glare in its yellow eyes and fast like swims towards Junko and bites onto her scuba tank ripping it off shocking and surprising Junko a lot in the process

the shark swims back towards Himiko as she still is struggling to breath

and The Bull Shark Pup spits out the scuba tank from its small jaws and let’s Himiko see it as she quickly grabs onto the once to be Junko’s scuba tank and straps it on as she takes quick deep breaths from the oxygen mouthpiece and stares at the Bull Shark Pup in surprise but thankful curious smile behind the oxygen mouthpiece

the shark would swim down to the bottom of the pool and bite onto the rope of the ball and chain that’s attached to Himiko’s leg and help tear it apart allowing Himiko to swim freely as she curiously

swims close to the Bull Shark Pup and hugs and strokes it’s snout in thanks while doing a happy underwater Nyah gurgled sound effect tho the Bull Shark Pup is shy of human affection and nuzzles against Himiko

meanwhile Junko attempts to try and sneak up on Himiko with a crazy despair look in her eyes while holding her breath as Himiko is to busy being curious about the shark and finds it’s so cute and especially its colour patterns but that’s all interrupted by Tenko as she loudly dives into the pool and swims down worriedly to Himiko hugging onto her while yelling underwater muffled words

of where the hell were you !!?!?

While Himiko isn’t phased and swims over and continues stroking the Bull Shark Pup and Tenko looks utter flabbergasted at the sight of a shark in the pool and isn’t a threat but also strangely surviving it’s pool conditions Tenko would be confused and yells a gurgled FUCKING HOW!!??

While Himiko casually takes the oxygen mouthpiece from her mouth while petting the Bull Shark Pup’s snout and says a gurgled underwater muffled smug happy M a g i c

and Junko she sneakily got out of the pool before anyone noticed her.🦈🤿🫧

Didn’t know if you wanted a single piece or a comic, so i'm doing both! The comic is going to take some time, so have this first! (I also don't want the ask to get lost)

[drawn-twogether]

felt like leaving this cute silly crossover art request idea. and pls take care and it’s understandable if you can’t do it.

Baby Jane Splicer splicing scuba diving or snorkelling underwater in a flooded section of Rapture

while The Young Small Bull Shark Pup from the game Maneater cutely accompanies Jane and nuzzles it’s small snout against her. and helps swim alongside her to get her used to using the unfamiliar stuff while underwater.

Cute Headcanons: Jane would definitely take advantage of being underwater and show off cutely But in this cute au she quite still have her sanity intact despite being a splicer while the Bull Shark Pup keeps her company even her sanity intact and is innocently friendly.

originally Jane was crazily jealous of Big Daddy’s being able to go into the underwater environment outside of Rapture and was unable to herself. But cutely enough the Bull Shark Pup helped in finding things from the flooded areas of Rapture and found the things to

allow Jane to be able to go underwater and not drown. this surprised Jane but caused her to be crazily in awe as she put on the things.

and pet the Bull Shark Pup in thanks.

While Jane was scuba diving underwater alongside the Bull Shark. a few different splicers took notice behind the glass

and be utterly trying to process how the fuck and utter gobsmacked shocked- Idk why I came up with this just thought cute and that’s it

left my own art ref’s cause why not and I believe Jane be type of aquatic enemy splicer class called Diver Splicer in game lore.

🦈🫧🤿🪸⭐️or This would be Jane’s Bioshock dlc campaign story mode taking place from a perspective of a splicer and survival they must go through and make their own free will choices.

Hi there! Thanks a bunch for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, requests from either of us are closed at the moment. However, we both do have commissions open if you were interested in getting a drawing from one of us. Feel free to reach out for more info if you would like!

Love to see fellow Bioshock fans on here, it's such a great game and seeing other's OCs, headcannons, and contributions to the fandom is always awesome :D

Luz Noceda scuba diving underwater while holding onto her harpoon gun and aiming it forward.

but letting the small young bull shark pup from the game Meaneater to swim alongside her and Luz gently pet’s its damaged scarred small dorsal fin protectively.

while Hunter is snorkelling and using a underwater camera to take pictures of Luz try and train the Bull Shark Pup.

but sneakily proud of his girlfriend to do this.

Cute Headcanons: Luz be pretending to be a scuba diver threat and

playfully pretends to attack the bull shark pup and help teach it fend for itself and even how it intelligently counters back Luz with shark tail swings during the mini underwater training fight.

Fun Fact: Luz uses mini fake rubber harpoons that don’t hurt but playfully stick the real ones are secretly back on the boat.

she uses fake ones to train the Bull Shark Pup and real ones when not training.

Luz pretended to scuba dive drown during the training fight

and float life less like causing Hunter to get extremely worried.

until the Bull Shark Pup swim closer helped use its small snout intelligently to nuzzle Luz’s scuba regulator mouthpiece back in her mouth to help her breath air back in.

then Luz sneakily woke up underwater cuddled the Bull Shark Pup proudly

and Hunter swam over worriedly hugging Luz and kissing her on the cheek.

The Bull Shark Pup cutely imprints on Luz as its parent and stays close to her. and is able to survive in different water conditions. 🦈🤿🫧🪸left my own art Ref of Luz Noceda scuba diving

It’s a birthday card!

The front of the card has a print of a bunch of cartoonish shrimp wearing party hats, though it’s been drawn over with orange marker. One shrimp is now wearing Dave’s signature glasses while another has acquired a DJ set up. A drawn-in sea horse is being ridden by a cowboy scuba diver. Of course, Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff are present in the scene. Hella Jeff appears to be drowning while Sweet Bro encourages him to “drink water faster, numbnuts.”

Bright text at the bottom reads, “I hope your birthday is shrimply amazing!”

On the interior is a printed message that came with the card which reads, “You’re one in a krillion!”

Surrounding this is a lengthy handwritten message that covers both sides of the card. It even extends onto the back.

It reads the following:

“Hey bro,

I couldn’t find any bird cards and all the dinosaur shit was for literal babies and not even remotely accurate, so I chose this one. Why the fuck does it make a krill pun when the front of the card states that they’re shrimp? Or maybe it’s the other way around and that these are krill and it’s incorrect for calling them shrimp.

Will we ever know the truth? Why are we being lied to under the guise of well wishes? This misinformation is spread to hundreds, possibly thousands of people who receive this card. These poor confetti covered souls will forever be convinced that shrimp and krill are one and the same. This, however, is incorrect.

Listen to me, Dave. They are not the fucking same. That’s like saying a goddamn daddy long legs is a spider just because it’s got those spindly ass legs. It’s not a fucking spider. It’s in a class of its own. The same applies to krill and shrimp, while they are both crustaceans they are not the same species. Appearance does not always equal relation.

Anyways, happy birthday, Bro. I hope you’ve had a kick-ass day. As I’m writing this I’m imagining that you are sitting on a pile of presents. That shit towers so high it’s like a goddamn throne. You could sky dive off that with a parachute made from wrapping paper and ribbons. And when you touch down after leaping from your mountain of loot, you will be hailed with even more to add to your hoard.

Or something like that.

Regardless, Pecky and I are wishing you all the best. Hopefully I’ll be on my way to Sinnoh if I can ever get out of this shitty forest.

See you in an indeterminate period of time,

Dirk Strider.”

Dave smiles even wider. The card brings back a few more memories - he swears to himself he is going to draw more Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff if it kills him.

Your turn! 😁

How many words have you written this year?

What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year? 😈

What’s your longest work of the year?

What’s your shortest work of the year?

Which work of yours have you reread the most?

Biggest surprise while writing this year?

Finally done with my homework, as set by @more-better-words! 😁

How many words have you written this year? 116,922 published, but outside of that? Probably double, looking at my document list, though I'm too lazy to confirm.

Because I suck at brevity (who knew, right?), the rest of this long-ass answer is under the cut.

2. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)? As ever, I don't have just one, but I narrowed this down to three, since it's not specifically about my favourites. Going Under, which required a combo of logistics and feasibility, as well as considering types of panic attacks vs Malcolm Reed's character. And then a lot of checking with my scuba diving/first responder friend. I think it's one of my best works, especially since I very deliberately did not want to drown the man, and wanted to show how competent Hoshi can be, too. AND my friend then wrote a coda for it from Malcolm's POV, which sadly remains unpublished, but still! Nothing To Fear, even though it's not complete. I just kind of love everything about it at this point, even though it takes weeks or more between chapters (apologies to my readers). I generally don't spend too much time writing anyone outside of Malcolm & Hoshi because I struggle with other voices, but I low-key love how I wrote Jhamel, Shran, T'Pol, and Phlox. Plus it has one of my favourite lines I've ever written: He would, without demur, lay down his life for anyone on the ship - even the MACOs, if it came to that - but for Hoshi, he would walk through the gates of hell itself and challenge the devil to single combat.  Outrun, my first action piece, first real banter, and one that also required me to think a bit because the shuttlepod would not work like a modern plane or helicopter under such circumstances. So I had to research both the disaster type and the shuttlepod characteristics to a) see if they'd have time to flee and b) if the shuttlepod would do what I wanted, and then get my resident science/physics/detonation expert to talk me through the logistics to make it plausible (Malcolm is not the only one who likes things that go boom but aren't necessarily weapons).

3. How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year? 😈

... 32 ... (so far) (shuttup, stop laughing!)

4. What’s your longest work of the year? Money Or Nothing (19,434 words) (warning, it's E-rated)

5. What’s your shortest work of the year? Bedtime Stories (388 words)

6. Which work of yours have you reread the most? I don't have the numbers since I can't find these in my History, but the ones I reread at least weekly are:

Dynamite Comes In Small Package (I don't enjoy fight scenes for nothing! I was able to bring in quite a few of my favourites, and apparently I can write those in a fairly entertaining manner, too.) Outrun (and its E-rated sequel Outrun - Outtake.) Going Under Revisiting Risa (I love all my E-rated stuff but this one makes me super happy because they use their words and it's also hot AF IMNSHO.) Better With You (And The Angels Sing coda) (it's fluff, Hoshi & Malcolm in their 40s, with the comfort of a long-established relationship, there's a little half-Vulcan godson, it's in your 'verse, and it's a warm hug of a fic.) Money Or Nothing (it took me 9 months of writing, refining and polishing, trying to be as sex-work-positive as possible, and while it will never be my best work, I don't care, I love it and I adore their interactions in it.) (E-rated, naturally) Nothing To Fear (yes, it's not finished, I still enjoy it.)

7. Biggest surprise while writing this year? Just how much people enjoy Hoshi kicking MACO ass. Dynamite Comes In Small Packages far outstrips my other fics in terms of kudos (31, with 19 the next-closest) and is in the high end of hits to kudos ratio at 17%. And then how much people enjoyed my menstruation fic, A Hint of Salt, A Taste of Sweet - it has as many bookmarks as Going Under, despite the latter being tense and action-driven, and Salt being slice-of-life and fluff and comfort. That's probably it, tbh - the comfort factor and Hoshi's friends looking after her.

So there you have it!

National Park Nightmare: Jane Constantino

April 18, 2023

Jane Constantino was born in 1947 and grew up in Long Island. Jane moved to New York to attend college, and after graduating she worked for several years as a social worker. 

Jane soon grew tired of her life and knew she wanted more -- she wanted to travel around the world and see things, experience things, live life to the fullest. Jane traveled to Europe, where she met a man there who was from Denver, Colorado. 

Jane fell quickly and the two returned to the United States and continued their relationship, eventually getting married. Jane moved to Colorado, but unfortunately their marriage only lasted two years. 

The end of her marriage though did not mean that Jane was going to leave the Denver area, she actually loved Denver and had loved the area so decided to continue living there by herself. She rented a small apartment and took up a job as a waitress, working 6-7 days a week to be able to afford this apartment. 

Jane lived minimally, driving a new car, wearing second hand clothes, while saving most of her money. She wanted to use the money to travel and explore. Jane earned a lot of tips, some saying she was one of the best waitresses they had. 

Jane began getting feelings that she was not going to live to be an old lady, instead she felt that her time on Earth was short and that she was going to die young. Because of this premonition, Jane wanted to live life to the fullest and have as many experiences as she possibly could. 

She would work like a dog for the majority of the year, and then take a few months off so that she could travel. Due to her having all of these wonderful experiences exploring and travelling the world, Jane had run into a few near death situations. 

In 1974, Jane was 27 years old and went to Wyoming to climb the Teton mountain range. She was struck by lightening at 14,000 feet, and she clung to the side of the mountain. She walked down to the nearest ranger station, where she had been burned incredibly badly. 

Jane had to stay in the hospital for almost a month, leaving with a huge scar which she called her “Badge of Life.” 

Jane actually had a fear of drowning, and water, despite her seemingly fearless in nature. Jane actually began kayaking, despite almost drowning in Alaska. She also conquered her fear of water by scuba diving. 

Her third brush with death happened when she fell in Yosemite, while climbing, only leaving with a broken ankle and a concussion. 

Jane took up bicycling, wanting to bicycle from Nova Scotia to New York. She almost died during this, getting hit by a truck. She was only in the hospital for a few days, and then left and finished her bike ride to New York. 

In 1979, she was 32 years old, and kept climbing mountains and bicycling. Jane then began to feel like she was slowing down, her previous injuries starting to ache. Jane then rode from Denver to New York with her brother. Jane then wanted to ride from Denver to Washington in the same summer. 

Jane was going to ride solo from Denver to Cape Alava, in Olympic National Park. Jane made plans with her friends in Seattle, to meet up with them on July 24, 1979 after she had finished this journey on Cape Alava. 

On July 23, 1979, the park had a lot of hikers, and a group of hikers noticed a woman who appeared to have fainted in the middle of a trail. The woman had not fainted, she had actually been stabbed multiple times. This woman was Jane Constantino. 

The hikers notified authorities immediately. Authorities discovered Jane had been stabbed 6 times in the chest, she was still clothed and there appeared to be no signs of sexual assault. They initially believed she must of known her killer, that this was a crime of passion or had been stalked. 

Authorities believed a man was her killer, as Jane was extremely strong and fit due to her physical activity, they determined it was unlikely that a woman would not be able to have overpowered her. 

News quickly spread about the fact that a dangerous person was likely still in that area, as it appeared Jane had recently died when the hikers found her. Other hikers were notified of this, especially women hikers who were travelling alone. One woman told authorities that before Jane was discovered, she was hiking alone in the same area when a weird man approached her from behind. 

She described him as being in his 30′s-40′s, wearing a purple t-shirt, but had a dark demeanour. He had curly hair that was sticking out from a cowboy hat and he was large, over 6 feet tall. The man told her he was a photographer from Playboy and offered $50 for her to pose nude for him right there in the park. 

As she was about to say no, the man noticed another woman, and immediately dropped the conversation, leaving the original woman free to get out of there as quickly as possible. The woman said she was almost sure the other woman the man noticed was Jane Constantino. 

The authorities soon came across this man wearing a purple shirt, and although the shirt did not appear to have any blood on it, it was soaking wet. They searched the man but he refused to answer any questions, only stating that his name was Dale Harrison. While searching they found Dale had rope and a hunting knife with him. 

Dale was arrested and because the crime took place on national property, the FBI took over the case. Dale was visiting the park that day, and originally lived in a small farming town in Washington. He had been arrested several times before, 20 years ago, including molesting young girls. 

Dale’s purple shirt had been dunked in ocean water, but there was blood on some of the fibres. The hunting knife matched the wounds on Jane, and several hikers picked him out of a lineup. Dale played dumb at first, claiming he didn’t know a murder had taken place. 

He then changed his story and said he had witnessed the murder, but was not a part of it. He said he did not come forward because he thought he would be looked at as a suspect. 

One of Dale’s friends came forward claiming Dale had told him about a fantasy he had about finding a woman alone in a park, tying her up, and making her his sex slave. Dale’s friend also claimed Dale had asked him to join in on this fantasy, though the friend did not want to be a part of this. 

Dale went to trial in 1980, and was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole. Ann Rule, famous true crime writer who wrote about Ted Bundy, also wrote about Jane’s case in one of her books, theorizing that perhaps Dale did not intend to actually murder Jane, rather he wanted to play out this sex slave submissive fantasy, and perhaps Jane fought back due to her being incredibly fit and strong, and Dale was not prepared for this, making him angry and lashing out to kill her. 

 Jane was the first person in the Olympic park’s 42 year history to be murdered, she died at 32 years old, meaning her premonition of dying young was right.

Thomas and Eileen Lonergan, a married couple hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States, had recently completed a two-year tour of duty with the Peace Corps in 1998. Following their service, they embarked on a journey to Australia.

On January 25, 1998, the Lonergans decided to indulge in their passion for scuba diving at St. Crispin’s Reef in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Despite being experienced divers with 80 dives each, tragedy struck during their outing. Accompanied by 26 fellow passengers and five crew members on the boat "Outer Edge," the couple anticipated a fun day exploring the underwater wonders under the supervision of presumed experts.

The final dive at "Fish City," a vibrant reef teeming with marine life, began around 2:20PM. However, by 3:10PM, the engines of the Outer Edge roared to life, and the boat departed, unknowingly leaving Thomas and Eileen submerged beneath the waves. The Lonergans were never seen again.

The discovery of their bag on the Outer Edge, two days later, raised alarm. Hotel staff, upon checking the bag's contents and contacting the Lonergans' accommodation, learned that the couple had not returned from their dive. News of their disappearance quickly became an international horror story, prompting an exhaustive air and sea search over the next three days.

Diving gear items washed ashore miles from the dive site, suggesting a tragic drowning. A diver's slate found by fishermen bore a desperate message: "Monday Jan 26; 1998 08 am. To anyone who can help us: We have been abandoned on A[gin]court Reef 25 Jan 1998 03 pm. Please help us to rescue us before we die. Help!!!"

The safety procedures on the Outer Edge were revealed to be chaotic, with crew members unsure of responsibility for head counts and dive log entries. No records existed for the Lonergans' depth or time spent underwater. Alarmingly, a mere three days before the ill-fated dive, a Workplace Health and Safety inspector had issued a warning to the boat. While speculation emerged that the couple might have staged their own disappearance, the absence of subsequent bank activity and unclaimed insurance policies refuted such theories. Suicide was also considered but ultimately dismissed.

Jack Nairn, the skipper of the dive boat, faced charges of unlawfully causing their deaths but was later found not guilty. The Lonergans' mysterious and tragic disappearance inspired the movie "Open Water."

While it is expected that Crowe would opt to put himself away from anything that gives the mindset of his job, he finds himself drawn to the hobby of scuba diving. Despite all the prep and the like for such an activity, he finds it...therapeutic...? He knows it seems odd but it is and it is pretty to look at. He isn't inclined to invite his friends because he worries of something going wrong.

But also that the waters give him a peace and what he can only describe as 'feeling right.' He prefers dives that are in or connected to the ocean rather than freshwater. And he has been considered something of a 'lucky charm' to diver friends since despite some very, very close calls, no one has ever been lost during his sea dives.

His inclinations are a bit of an unconscious draw of his divine nature. While his grandmother is lurking as one of the Gorgons, his great-grandparents are alive and kicking too. They are sea deities that are usually associated with the danger in the waters.

They have never formally been introduced to Crowe not his sister but they do know of them from both his grandma and mother. They watched from a distance and get a sense of Crowe since his childhood, as he did grown up in a coastal town. Because of this watch, they provide protection over him and those he goes with...so that even if one should have drown, they will not because of the sea watching out for them in a sense. So they are the reason for Crowe's good luck status.

It is their presence that gives him the comfort and likely because of their and other familial genes, is why he has good ability with depths. Of course, Crowe doesn't know this but because of his troubled feelings over his divine heritage, his great-grandparents continue to not make themselves known. They worry that Crowe will reject the blessings, which would leave him vulnerable...he's a demigod, so not truly immortal and they don't know if he'd survive the transition. For now they are content with his 'visits' when he goes on dives.

I think Crowe could really get over it for them specifically. Mainly because they technically don't have much to do with the actual problem he had with his divinity. And also because 'it's like being an ass to an old couple. I can be a bastard but not that kind.'
