#every day is mermay

[loveofbots]

I love the way you write misfire so much!!!! I think short fin mako! Misfire is literally perfect for him. Like I'm imaging him accidentally getting stuck on the deck of your boat out at sea.

Also my brain is empty only thinking about giving merformer! Misfire an energy drink for the first time. You let him have ONE sip of your monster and he chugs half the can in one gulp and makes it EVERYONES problem.

The first time you meet the captain of the scavengers is because he begged you to "never do what you did again. I don't know what kind of fish you gave him, or special bubbly land water you put in his mouth, but NEVER do it again. He was like a dolphin after playing volleyball with a puffer fish."

((also on the topic of merformers thinking about Megalodon! Grimlock and banana eel!Spinster.))

maybe the scavengers help fight pollution efforts by picking up litter off the bottom of the ocean. That's how the meet reader!!! Who's diving to pick up litter and nets and fish lines.

Misfire, the precious little boy, the ultimate baby girl, thinks reader WANTS these strange items and gives them to them as courting gifts but reader is OBLIVIOUS to his intentions.

He's the orange cat of the ocean.

Anyway I just thought I'd share my thoughts maybe they'd make you laugh or something

SPINISTER THE BASTARD MORAY EEL???

Also I’m questioning if you did this because moray’s look constantly astonished by something

Spinister-core.

I like that you gave Grimlock the prehistoric shark! I think Megalodon fits his dino ass well.

Scavengers being scavengers and in the process cleaning up the ocean, what a way to get along well with the reader!! This also may mean they have a little mermaid type of misconception about the land world, thinking forks are combs and stuff like that. Instead of the W.A.P. Being a ship of some sort, it could be like a home cave for them. Also nickel is a shrimp. They are sassy and clean creatures that deserve the world.

Also I’m making Crankcase a stone fish for no other reason than the fact they look like this:

Since it's MerMay for a few more days yet, I colored ND Stevenson's sketch of the BFS as mermaids for my own amusement.

[seijorhi]

Are there any themes or tropes that you find interesting but haven't got the chance to try them out/ pour them onto your fics?

Oh absolutely!! I still haven’t really done a proper ‘escaped and being hunted down’ fic, which I wanna do at some point, I’m also a sucker for the reader faking their death only for their yan to realise they’re still alive and living happily without them (unacceptable)

I sort of touched on it a little in tailspin but I really, really wanna do either a reincarnation and/or Groundhog Day-esque fic because those are just endlessly fun.

Also also, I wanna write poor reader stuck as the unwilling third in a super toxic marriage (and also more yan girls in general), just… ugh :))

i'm probably not going to get this done before mermay ends so here's another wip from my sam/antiope the little mermaid AU

[whumperofworlds]

Mermay Whump thought:

A sea witch/wizard/whatever kidnaps Mer-Whumpee and ties them up, before they began to experiment on Whumpee with magic and other tools.

"Saw something weird when I came back from the docks... like a woman's face just sitting there in the water, staring at me."

Mermay aka thinking of little mermaid Steve who loves to lie in the sun till his long hair is dry and feel the wind blow through it, wishing he could run through fields and forests, watching the humans Make Things. When he feels brave, he swims close to a small fishing town at night and watches as the lights flicker in windows and laughter and music spills from houses he can only imagine what they look inside.

He rarely gets close during the day to avoid the fishermen spotting his shiny scales. One of them in particular, who he knows is his own age. He remembers the man, has watched him grow up as Steve's tail grew longer as well, always keeping track of what was once a little boy he saved from drowning. 'Billy' the others call him. He's already spotted Steve once, when he wasn't careful enough! His entire face lit up, a childlike wonder that made Steve's stomach do little somersaults in his belly.

But no matter how much he wants to talk to Billy, learn all about the jokes he tells the other fishermen, the evenings he spends at the tavern, the few times Steve has spotted Billy walking by the shore, bare feet in the water and curls wild around his head... He can't. He has to keep his and his kind's existence a secret.

Until one day, he hears whispers among the sirens. That a sea witch has set up shop in the crevasse far out at sea. That she offers potions and spells that can fulfill any wish you could think of. For the right price.

And sure, Steve owns pearls and jewels, shiny trinkets and stones he could offer in exchange for time spent on land. But he knows that's not an equivalent payment for his wish. So he brings nothing but himself when he sets out for the journey into the depths. He follows a trail of eerily glowing glass bulbs, to the stall of a being shrouded in flowing algae and whispy fabric. The sea witch has no hands, no face, it offers no assurances or comfort. Only a green pearl, swirling with the shades of a tree canopy where the sun shines through the leaves, set on a seashell saucer.

Silently, Steve accepts the offer. He knows the price he has to pay before he even takes the pearl and carries it up, up, up, to the surface and a rocky beach near the town. He holds the pearl to the light and delights in how it catches and refracts the sun onto his face.

Then he swallows it.

On a hike to his favorite reading spot by the shore, where the trees hang over the cliffs and you can catch a hint of the rose hip blossoms on the breeze, Billy Hargrove finds a beautiful man with no clothes and no memory. But when the man smiles at him, he knows. Somehow he knows that they have met before.

Lyka, but she’s in a modern day setting

Continuing on with Mermay, I thought it was about time I redrew some of the outfits I made for Lyka if Treasure Planet was set in modern day 💜🧜🏻‍♀️

Redraw of these:

[loveofbots]

HI HELLO HI

YEA just the scene I was thinking of actually

Y/N: I'm so dead

Misfire: Sloooowly, slooooowly, sloooowly swimming away

Spinister: You're swimming closer!

Misfire, practucally nose to nose with Y/N: Oh! Hi! Sorry I meant to swim the other way

Y/N, absolutely terrified: Okay

Misfire: So, I, uh, I'm gonna go back now

Y/N: Okay

🦂

Oh my gooooood misfire is so cute

He is so stupid, his little fish self. Part of me wants to make him a marlin, but that doesn’t quite fit his vibe. You know what does? One of these.

Shortfin Makos!! I have a bad habit of making Decepticons sharks, but it fits him. They aren’t the brightest fish in the ocean and have a really bad habit of breaching and landing on boats, which just spells Misfire. As he’s known for getting the gang into bad situations. He’s impulsive, speedy with his lips, and overall kind of a show off.

He’d adore his little partner though. Always tailing their boat or looking around for you. He’d flash his sharp teeth in a ‘hey look at how good of a mate I’ll be!’ Way. It just comes off as a really weird smile.

More mer scavenger rambles soon?

Mermay Mythology

Very quick sketch I threw together for today's Mermay prompt Mythology. Thought it would be cool to do a Siren for this prompt.

Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!✨

i just realised ive never shared my art before, which is sad cause this is an art sharing platform (mostly lol)

i do traditional art tho and i guess my brain is so used to seeing only digital art on here that it automatically assumed i wasnt qualified (which obviously isnt true)
