I did WRA headcanons, so now it's time for seablings headcanons

(Mostly worldbuilding headcanons around them)

The appearance you often associate with the Ocean Queen and Codfather are actually their “mortal forms” they use not to freak everyone out. The twos “true forms” are a lot more like biblically accurate angels, they took after their parents in the “ancient lovecraftian horror” department.

Jimmys’ magic is unstable and heavily effected by his emotions, though, so he uses the Codfather mask to keep his form in check. That’s why he was so desperate to get the head back when stolen, he was scared his body would change out of his control and scare someone (or if he’s anything like Cthulhu, drive them insane just by his appearance alone).

Jimmy and Lizzies’ mortal forms are slightly off from regular merfolk, being that they are ridiculously tall for their kind. Lizzie is 11 feet tall and Jimmy is around 7’10”, whereas most merfolk tend to max out at 7 feet. They also have some other powers that only gods and God-blessed people have, like sensing each other and being more in tune with magic than mortals are.

Jimmy and Lizzies’ parents are an ancient sea monster known simply as the Leviathan and the primordial goddess of all water. Lizzie was birthed from sea foam (à la Aphrodite) thousands of years ago as the goddess of saltwater and the Queen of the oceans. She took after her mother in being a blue axolotl.

Lizzie has been on and off as the Ocean empires queen since then; the ocean levels naturally rise and fall like what happened during the rapture and her annual memory loss usually coincides with that, so the citizens of her empire have plans put in place (an elected regent to take over) to handle their goddesses regular disappearances.

Some time after Lizzies’ birth, the leviathan laid a clutch of eggs in one of the many nurseries outside the ocean empire. Lizzie was supposed to have many little siblings, each a demi-god to rule over different bodies of water inland like ponds, rivers, and inland seas. Unfortunately, though, demigods can die.

The salmon, who had been feuding with the cod merfolk for a long time now prompting the making of new demigods, got to the eggs first and massacred all the babies. Lizzies’ grief at her fathers final clutch not surviving was so powerful, the oceans were in a perpetual category 5 storm for months. It caused tsunamis to hit coastal towns, boat travel was impossible, and the salmon living in the ocean who survived were all swept inland by the storm.

Each empire that had land near the coast at the time of this has their own name for it in their own languages, but all basically translate to "the great storm" or "terrible hurricane."

We all know Jimmy survived, though. Somehow, against all odds, he swam his way home to Lizzie. Her relief and love for her little seabling caused the storms to calm and perfect waters across the empires to last for decades after, opening up new trade routes to landfolk empires like Mezalea.

Jimmy takes after their father in being more fish-like than axolotl (salamander)

After hatching, baby merfolk (or “tadpoles”) follow the scent of their mothers to find their way home. The ocean empire has historically often been invaded by Drowned, landfolk, rogue guardians, etc, so they lay their eggs outside the empire in hidden nurseries, then let the hatched tadpoles find their way home as a ritual, believing if they survive, their goddess has chosen them to live with her children and the others to stay with her at the bottom of the sea.

For Jimmy, he followed Lizzies' smell instead since their actual mother is in hibernation with the other old gods.

Being the only surviving member of the clutch, Jimmy was dubbed the demigod of freshwater and the swamps, later establishing the codlands as a sanctuary for the last remaining cod merfolk, both sides of the war suffering massive losses.

The Codlands also have a system put in place for when Jimmy loses his memories that's a bit more complicated than their ocean cousins. The Codfather is an electoral office like a president, so while Jimmy is gone they elect a Codboy to replace him, and when he returns it doesn't always mean he returns with his memories so they hold this “fake” election and pretend everyone chose Jimmy. It's not really pretend since the Codfather is loved by his people, but the whole "we've decided you should be our new Codfather" is pretend as a way to prompt his memories to return faster.

Oceanic, the language of all merfolk, is a language often only learnt by merfolk and mer-adjacent people, as their vocal cords can make a variety of more sounds than land-dwellers, along with the language mixing body language and movement with those sounds like from their tails and fins. Despite this, Joel makes an attempt for his cool fish wife. He settles with learning the codish dialect as it is a little easier on land folk, since the cod spend more time on land interacting with them, thus their dialect adapting to compensate.

Merfolk have two sets of eyelids, the usual ones we humans have that open and close up and down, distributing moisture across our eyes, and a second translucent set that slides inward from the outside of each eye and acts like built-in goggles. The way eyes need to function to see on land is very different to how they work to see underwater. unfortunately, merfolk can't have both so they went the way of the crocodile with the two sets of eyelids.

They also went the way of the crocodile in that merfolk have loads of sharp teeth that they can perpetually lose, as a new tooth will grow in to replace it, they don't only have two sets of teeth like humans.

All merfolk also have “siren songs”, a subset of verbal spells only merfolk can cast by singing. Depending on the tune, it can do different things like healing, helping the listener sleep, sharing memories between the singer and listener, and much more. It's very volatile and dangerous magic though, it takes many years to control it around other merfolk let alone land dwellers who are much more susceptible to the foreign magic (the same way people who aren't vaccinated are affected by those diseases worse compared to those with immunity)

The song gets its name because some merfolk, known as sirens by human sailors, would use their songs the way sirens in myth would. Those “sirens” aren't actually any different from other merfolk though, just malicious in nature.

Due to this, music is highly regarded in both empires. The Musical Lizzie wrote in real life is canon to me, in that the Ocean Regent worked with the Codboy and some refugee bards from other empires to make the musical as both to honour their gods and as a cautionary tale of land dweller hubris (that's the way they spun the story at least).

Pearls (the stones) and clam shells are highly regarded in the ocean empire and codlands. Pearls are usually worn by the upper class and given as courting gifts to romantic partners or to family members depending on the style. Whereas, clam shells are exclusive for the royal family and priests of the primordial water goddess, due to religious reasons.

Merfolk having webbing between their fingers makes wearing rings nearly impossible, so instead they use necklaces – specifically pearl chokers – as their wedding jewellery. Joel proudly sports his own pearl choker from Lizzie, along with a clamshell in the centre due to being the ocean queens consort. Concurrently, bracelets and armbands are given to family. Jimmy has a cobalt wire armband with a pearl pendant.

Tadpoles who have just hatched from their egg and returned home get a mix of a baby shower and naming ceremony, part of this celebration of life is gifts from family like pearls as previously mentioned and nautilus shells. Nautilus shells are given to children as a symbol of longevity and health since they have been thriving in this world for 480 million years, which merfolk with their long lifespans (similar to elves) would be aware of.

Speaking of elves, back when Alinar was alive and just beginning his training with Aoer, the stag god had spoken to Lizzie for an alliance to fight the corruption. During this, Alinar met Jimmy and had a very brief crush on each other before Alinar left to fight Cohnal and Jimmy lost his memories soon after for a few decades, by the time the Codfather returned, Alinar was long gone. Credit to this fanfic for that idea.

Cod, like other species of fish, can change their sex if needed. I think gender is extremely fluid to Merfolk, they adopted the ideas of “male” and “female” from humans and that's it, no one cares how you present or what pronouns you prefer to use. Meeting a merfolk as one sex then seeing them change to intersex or another is very common. Jimmy is Intersex. Sometimes same-sex couples temporarily switch just to have their own eggs and then switch back. There just isn't much importance put on gender to merfolk.

And, finally, because merfolk lay eggs and are cold-blooded, thus not mammals, no merfolk would have nipples 👍

Timmy Solidarity from Empires SMP is Kenough!

[oceanbrine]

smallest sheriff of ever. he is on one singular block

[leekyrainbow]

if lizzie in season 1 of empires is some sort of ocean deity; does that make jimmy one aswell?

they're both siblings in esmp s1, and i rarely see anyone talk about how jimmys technically a fish aswell (excluding artworks, i love the art but im talking about people actually speaking about it). like okay, jimmys kinda pathetic(/j) for being a deity aswell, but he could just be weaker than lizzie. He did come from the damaged egg afterall so that could have been some nemo from finding nemo typa shit.

yeah, i dont want to elaborate more. have fun with my new headcanon
