48 / 1.1k / shark mermen Ghost and Soap + lionfish mermaid reader, courtesy of @porcelainpot :)

...

The moment you and Soap lock eyes, you push yourself up off the soft sea floor. Tendrils of sand, gold in the sun, trail after your tailfin all the way back into the tangle of reef coral you’ve claimed as your home.

Soap laughs behind you.

Why is he so obsessed with this? This stupid game he plays. Ghost—who rolls over near the sunny patch where you were just lazing together—doesn’t care when you’re around. You don’t bother him; he doesn’t bother you. But Soap won’t leave you alone. He all but ignores the clear warning signs all over your body—the auburn striping your tail; your bright, fanlike fins; the enormous fuckoff venom-coated spines running the length of your dorsal line, arms, and ear fins.  

You scowl. Every time you think he won’t find you when you venture out into the reef, every time you let yourself relax after the day’s hunting is done, he turns up. Watching you the same way he’s looking at you right now: too fucking closely. His eyes flash with mischief and lock onto your fins through the sparse gaps in your coral cave.

“Think she bites?” he asks Ghost.

Ghost grunts. “Most things do.”

“Saw her lookin’ at you like she might want to take a piece home.”

“Doubt it.”

“Doubt you’d feel it if she did. Could hardly kill a minnow with those wee teeth. Don’t know how she hunts with ‘em.”

You duck down back into the entrance of your cave with a flick of your lacy tail. He’s talking loudly enough for you to hear on purpose. “You’re never getting close enough to find out,” you snap.

Soap’s smirk stretches into a grin. You took the bait. “Can’t hide in your cage forever, can ya?”

Ghost rolls back over. “She’s got more sense than the ones who swim toward you.”

“Oh, piss off. Fleein’ from a predator is what prey fish do. It’s a natural response.”

You lurk a little further outside your cave. “I’m not prey. I’m just as much a predator as you sharks.”

This time, Ghost is the one who scoffs. “Sure you are.”

Soap swims up closer to your hiding spot, eyes roaming over your form. You bristle instinctively and raise your spines in warning as he drifts closer. But it doesn’t drive him away. If anything, it seems to draw his interest even more.

“Ya’ve got an impressive display, I’ll give it that,” he says. “But you’re a scrap compared to us.”

“So? I don’t need size to defend myself.” You fan your fins up higher, emboldened as you rise with the current.

Soap grins even wider at the threat display. You’re all barbed fins, colorful scales, and angry pout. His gaze reflects the challenge you’re issuing him. “Careful sayin’ that. I’ll chase you if you tease me.”

Ghost lets out an irritated growl at Soap’s flirtation, knowing very well Soap only says these things to get a rise out of you. “Those spines aren’t just for show, Soap. You know what lionfish venom feels like. Bet hers is worse. Might kill you. You think it's worth dying just to prove a point?"

“I think spines break as easy as they sting.”

Anger surges through your chest. “Brute,” you snap.

Soap laughs. You don’t seem to notice you’ve drifted some distance away from your hiding spot, but he has. Ghost shifts, side-eying both of you more closely.

“I’m just curious, gorgeous.” His senses sharpen with the thrill of your threat display and your anger. Of course he thinks it’s sexy. The more you insult him, the more he wants to see what it takes to earn more than just that sharp tongue of yours. “Think touchin’ you might be worth the sting.”

“You’d be wrong.”

“You’re cute when you’ve got a problem with me. Gnashin’ like a miniature barracuda.”

You puff up a little more, daring to swim closer. You’re smugly satisfied when he backs away a little in response.

“Try it,” you bluff.

Soap’s eyes drop down, tracing the length of your fins, and he grins. He’s just as aware of the lethality of any lionfish's wicked barbs as he is of their beauty, but he doesn’t seem particularly deterred by the threats of this particular mer wielding them. “Bet you wouldn’t bite me too hard.”

“Soap.” Ghost’s voice is calm, but a warning lurks in his tone. “Don’t provoke her.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” Soap replies without looking away from you. “Bet those spines are brittle.” He reaches forward to touch one.

You hiss and whip your tail away on instinct, darting back. Your spines are still raised in defense. But your rational mind doesn’t want to risk him getting any closer. You don’t want him to know what happens if he's stung--that your venom is a faulty mimic of a true lionfish. He needs to think you're dangerous and keep his distance. And you need to keep your pride intact.

Soap hardly notices how upset you are. He’s thrilled to provoke an interesting new reaction out of you. Before he can reach out again, though, Ghost grabs his wrist and jerks him back, forcing him out of your personal space.

“Don’t be an idiot. You’re not fast enough to avoid a sting.”

“You’re no fun, Ghost.”

“Fuck off,” you snap. Your heart is pounding. He got too close, way too close.

You retreat while Ghost has ahold of him, slipping down into your small den and out of sight. Soap calls after you, but he’s not surprised when you don’t come back out.

Soap rips his wrist out of Ghost’s claws with a muttered curse. At Ghost’s hard look, he snaps, “Like you wouldn’t do it too.”

“That’s not the problem. She’s a pincushion. You go pissing her off too much, you’re going to wind up full of poison.

“Aye.”

“And it'll probably kill you. Hurt the whole time doing it. It’s all fun and games until you’re dying because you just couldn’t help but poke a pretty fish.”

Soap scoffs. “You’re exaggerating. No sting can kill me. It'll hurt a little an’ I’ll be fine.”

Ghost gives Soap an unimpressed glance. “And if you're wrong? You think you’re strong enough to fight off a neurotoxin.” He snorts. “You want to test that hypothesis?”

Soap glances back at your den with a frown.

“Keep your bloody distance,” Ghost mutters, giving Soap a shove back toward the center of the reef. “She’s no prize.”

Soap gives in and turns back toward the reef, turning a restless corkscrew in the water. Still, the smirk reappears on his face. “Aye. Little nightmare, isn’t she?” He sighs. “All bite and no kiss.”

[part 1 ] / part 2 by porcelainpot here!! <3

more mer au / more Soap / masterlist

[merakiui]

hiii mera!!

imagining azul as a type of cannibalistic octopus, on your first night together he’s spent so long hyping himself up and grueling over whether or not he’s content giving himself to you, eventually coming to terms with it and deciding to make the event as romantic & easy to clean as possible. when the deed is done, he’s so anxious and pathetic and practically withers away as he looks at you,,, he knows what comes now… but when your teeth don’t tear at his flesh, he looks at you with confusion, a bit disappointed by the lack of development, but far more relieved. He asks and you explain that humans don’t cannibalize their partners,,, and it clicks. so many others can come back and brag about their partners and he’s a bit embarrassed by the revelation, but SO relieved. it’s a cute thing, he’s so excited to continue living with you

random thought though,, not very thought out LOL he knows not of porn in this situation

wet dreams consist of getting it on and him jumping awake as you lurch towards him with a hungry maw,,, imagining on the first night he just brings a bunch of snacks in hopes that it’ll save him, chip bags littered about like rose petals

thank you for reading,

lionfish anon :]

AAAAAA YES YES. OTL Azul who is only familiar with mer courtship and sex customs, so he's fully prepared to give himself to you after he spends so much time mulling it over. Aaaaa he's so cute, preparing so many snacks to make sure you're well-fed and too distracted to think about eating him after the fact. Azul being too worried to do anything face to face, so he fucks you from behind instead. Later, when he learns you won't be devouring him after sex, he becomes more confident holding you closer and fucking you in intimate positions that allow him to look at you. <3

I think he'd have some of the best snacks as well. orz all of your favorites along with some of his favorites, too. The snacks being scattered like rose petals is so silly to imagine, and he'd probably look so proud about it as well. Something like,,,, look at what a good mate he is, providing you with an abundance of food (please don't eat him) and he'll take good care of you when you've eaten your fill of snacks (please PLEASE don't eat him).

Unintentional tako rizz (which was really just Azul trying to ensure you wouldn't cannibalize him afterwards lol). He's just too cute!!!!!

[archiepelago]

Getting pet on its own is a maybe; it feels nice but not really something she’d necessarily be cool with from strangers. Though she can be swayed if someone offers to help with caring for spots she can’t reach (her mutated shape fucked a lot with her shoulder girdle, so she can’t really reach most of her back/neck anymore.) Expendables can make for some decent, fresh conversation, which she appreciates despite not being great at small talk.

As for the second; if someone’s really dedicated to pestering her she has 0 issue with just biting them as a consequence lmao

(As a result of her testing, she’s got lionfish venom glands connected to her teeth; good news is it’s generally not lethal! bad news is it still Fucking Hurts Real Bad)

[sleepyfan-blog]

I VERY DESPERATELY NEED/Want Baby Primarch Mers. So Badly. PLEASE!

Ok! I"ll go down the list

1 - Lion - So, the temptation to make him part lionfish is incredible here. There's also the fact that IRL Lionfish are a huge problem in certain parts of the world because they are an invasive species in those areas, as well as incredibly deadly because of their poisonous spines. And considering how deadly Lion and his sons can be... Yeah, I think he's part lionfish. Specifically he has a deep green tail with silver stripes. His spines are black and gold and hold incredibly potent poisons.

2- ??? [REDACTED BY THE ORDER OF THE EMPEROR]]

3- Fulgrim - He is part Coral Beauty Angelfish, and has a beautiful purple tail that fades into a vibrant yellow color. Coral beauties (at least according to the quick google search I did about them) are an incredibly hardy salt water fish, and known for their vibrant colorations.

4 - Perturabo - is part Cabezon - which are known for being Stubborn Bastard Fish who Refuse To Move until they get their next meal, willing to wait days and even weeks before they get their next meal. Which is often other fish, which I feel fits Peter turbo pretty well. He has a pleated tail and fins that are a mottled steel and black color, with the occasional yellow stripe.

5 - Jaghatai - is part Sailfish - which are allegedly one of the fastest fish in the world IRL. He has a bright white tail with red stripes. His fins are also white with red stripes.

6 - Leman - is part Piranha. Not only are Piranhas highly predatory, they also are species of fish that school together. Like how Space Wolves almost always stick together in packs. Also, he still has fangs in this AU. His tail and fins are a lovely slate grey color with an iridescent shine to them.

7 - Rogal - part greenland shark! Cold adapted predator of the sea. Doesn't look like much but is an apex predator in the seas it lives in. He has gorgeous golden fins and tails with black spots.

8 - Konrad - part goblin shark. I didn't pick it just because of the name, but because it is a deep water shark (lives in darkness, just like a certain edgy primarch) that is rarely seen by humans. And. Well. Most humans who saw Konrad didn't exactly live to tell about it, did they? He has a deep blue tail and fins that are surprisingly slender. But powerful and he has a hell of a bite and many, many pointy teeth.

9 - Sanguinius - He has a beautiful silver tail and fin-like wings, as his mer-half is flying fish! Although I was super tempted to make him part-lamprey because of the blood-sucking aspect of him.

10 -  Ferrus - as per the suggestions of @angronsjewelbeetle @c-u-c-koo-4-40k and @i-am-a-dragon34 Ferrus is now part Dunkleostous, with dark grey fins and tail on his dorsal side and a silvery ventral side.

11 - ?? [REDACTED BY THE ORDER OF THE EMPEROR]

12 - Angron - part betta fish. He has striking red and gold fins and tail and will square the fuck up if the mood strikes.

13 - Roboute - there is a big temptation to go for the Ultramarlin pun, but I won't give in. What I am going with is part Ribbon Eel, as they have this really lovely blue body with bright yellow dorsal and ventral stripes that go all the way down their bodies. That and G-Man having a long tail to thwap his brothers with makes me giggle.

14 - Mortarion - part pufferfish. Prickly, defensive and poisonous. Can and will puff up. Has grey fins and tail with dark green spots. Spiny.

15 - Magnus: I am torn between making him part carp - because of the Japanese (I think?) myth about a carp jumping up a waterfall in order to become a dragon - which hints at Magnus' incredibly powerful warp abilities or an Abtu, which is a mythical ancient Egyptian fish, because Space Egypt. Thoughts? Opinions?

16 - Horus: Is part dolphin. Known for being very charismatic and charming, but can and will bully other kinds of sea life. Baby-Horus has a deep green tail with gold markings.

17 - Lorgar - I love the Parrot Fish pun suggestion by @c-u-c-koo-4-40k so that is what I am going with. His fins and tail are a deep red color with a silver shimmer to them.

18 - Vulcan - another excellent suggestion by @c-u-c-koo-4-40k for making one of the primarchs part barracuda! I have decided on Vulcan, rather than Magnus. Vulcan’s dorsal fins and tail are a deep green color, the ventral side is black. Along the middle where the two colors meet, he had gold spots.

19 - Corvus: Part of me wants to make Corvus either some kind of shark, or angler fish bc of his whole "sworn vengeance and eternally hunting after Lorgar post-heresy" thing but. Big E is also a being who loves himself some aesthetics and I don't think a part-angler fish boy would fit that. Perhaps part black-tipped shark bc of their stealthiness. Thoughts?

20 - Alpharius and Omegon: are color-pallet changed blue-ring octopi. Instead of a yellow body with bright blue rings, they have vibrant teal tentacles with bright silver ring-patterns across their tentacles and up the fishy parts of their bodies.

My top 5 coolest fish

5. Lionfish🦁

Ah yes, a classic fish found in many books, video games or even in your bathtub if you're tripping hard enough. The only reason I placed this fish here is because the lionfish is very nostalgic to me. Back in the day my mom would sometimes take me to her office where she had one single video game installed: Feeding frenzy. Sadly it was only a demo so if I quit the game, the whole progress would go away :( (which would make me play it for like 5 hours straight as my mom worked). One of the levels had this cool looking mfer and it got printed into my brain from a young age. This Fish gets a 7/10 for looks, 10/10 for reminding me of a simpler time where depression was a foreign concept to me. 4. Galapagos batfish💅🏻

At first you might think ''yo what the fuck is wrong with this thing, is it even fish?'' and yes, it is VERY fish but at the same time it looks kinda fishy. To give you some facts about this little thing, not only does it look like someone put lipstick on it, but it also apparently cannot even swim right. This fish can't even fish and because of that, it is my number 4. 6/10 appearence 9/10 for personal abilities. It reminds me that even if I fuck up at something meant to be ''human'' it s oki , cuz this fish can't even do the one thing it's supposed to do and somehow it's still alive. 3.Flying fish🐦

Now this, this thing is magestic as fuck. Without it's wings it looks like a typical ass fish, but I can still appreciate it for what it tries to be! Imagine how dramatic it can exit boring conversations, or perhaps show up all of a sudden and creep up on you! It makes me summon my inner bad bitch fish self. 8/10 appearence 10/10 I wish I could fly away from my problems as well as this fish can. 2.Pufferfish🌵

This fish is a proper shapeshifter. Imagine being able to adjust your shape on the spot. No stupid diets to make you skinny or fat. Just swallow some water and that's it. On top of that, the spikes are amazing. I wish I had spikes like that in case someone would try to get too close to me on the playground. Their mating ritual is as amazing as it gets but sadly their toxic self cannot be ignored. 8/10 appearence(11/10 if baby), 6/10 too toxic for me tbh but I can still admire from afar 1.Longhorn cowfish🐄

This yellow blob over here is fucking adorable. Not only does it have cow in the name(I love cows too) but he also looks like he is about to give you kisses. Now he is apparently hella lonely which made me feel sorry for him, therefore he is at number 1. because I too was once lonely, smol (still am) and looked like a blob(still do). I fucking hate the colour yellow but this tiny thing makes me like it a little bit more every time I see a pic of him. 10/10 appearence 10/10 resilience, combating loneliness and removing the stigma associated with it. BONUS FISH!!!! Seahorses. Any kind. 🐴

These beautiful things tie super well with my previous fish. You see I really like animals pretending to be other animals and these babies are just that. On top of looking cool as hell, my favorite seahorse fact is that some males can also give birth! Love me some genderbending so keep slaying it babes. ✨ 10/10 looks 10/10 attitude That was it. Follow me if you wanna hear about my top 5 GARBAGE fish that suck.

FINAL designs for Life is like the Ocean, It goes up and down by @tastytoastz

Click for better quality, notes below the cut

Master post of all designs for this fic

So ummmm.... Yeah I redesigned Leo and third time and Roier a second.... Final designs for them I promise. I like these ones and don't plan on changing them.

I got really caught up on making them looking like an actual lionfish tail. They're mermaids. They aren't real, i can do whatever the fuck i want. These were so much easier to draw and will be easier to draw if I want to draw them again.

I was inspired by this character in the webtoon Realta (very good, I really like it ^^) for the tail, as well as this tail i found online

Don't really have any notes for Q and Mouse, but I do have a brush for drawing pearls so that was really helpful :D.

But thats it!! Drawn all the (main) characters we've seen in Life is like the Ocean. might get possessed to draw the Fed workers in this fic, but absolutely no guarantees.

[dustcrumbs]

Sorry I was sleeping, anyways, mermaid time:

When Cross joined he was cocky about being the fastest, because dolphins are fast, so Dust challenged him to a race to get him to stfu

Anglerfish est anything that can fit in their mouths, poisonous fish aren't really in the midnight zone. Ever since he tried to eat a lionfish, Dust started choosing Horror's meals

Killer's goop flows in the water so he can't see at all. Nightmare's goop is more firm and stays on his body better

The star sanses exist: Swap is part axolotl so he can breathe air and survive longer than the others. Dream is the same as Nightmare (because siblings) so he's a blue ringed octopus. And Ink is a vampire squid (those guys are the smallest squid)

When Cross does those dolphin jumps, Killer and Dust try to as well, to impress Nightmare and Horror, but they both fail

Killer is one of the few sharks that CAN stop moving. But does he? No.

Because Killer is an apex predator, he has sharp teeth, and he bites the others to tease them "lol, I could kill you if I wanted :3" ass behavior

Not so fun fact about dolphins, they have a high sex drive and are the animal that has sex outside of their species the most. Cross doesn't express this outwardly, tho he is a freak (whos more 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂? Dust or Cross /silly)

Nightmare gives all of them the otter treatment, aka, he ties them up using kelp, if no kelp, he uses his tentacles

- @largefoundation

Oh no, dust has some competition with the freak-o-meter contest.

Horror just eating whatever fits in his mouth is so goofy. Like, no, don't try to swallow the shark in one gulp dude. It is NOT gonna fit no matter how hard you try to squeeze it in. . .

Killer just randomly chomps on someone and pulls away with a smirk as if he didn't just scare the flip outta them.

"What the fuck"

"It's a love bite!"

"There was nothing 'lovely' in that bite."

And swap, oh my beloved axolotl, come to me. My arms are wide open for u

Dust and Cross racing one another until one rams into a boat on accident.

[versegm]

Kyrielight stumbles into the shadow border, the master in her arms. It's a horrible sight; their blood shines on the black of her armor, their face is pale as a sheet, their breath is labored.

"Get Nemo nurse!" Goredolf yells behind him, knowing fully well they didn't need his input to do so, but damn it, damn it, what can he do, what can he do?! His friend This idiot who has never been rewarded Their last hope to survive is dying on deck, what can he do?!

Meunière hurriedly smacks things off a desk to fee space. Sion comes to help Goredolf and Kyrielight lay the master down, and she winces. "This is bad. Their spirit core is damaged. They won't last long."

"No shit!" Goredolf snaps. "Do you have anything better to earn them a few extra seconds or-"

He's so riled up that it takes him a few seconds to understand what Sion just said.

"... Their fucking what is damaged?"

Kyrielight looks at Sion. Sion looks at Goredolf. Goredolf looks at Kyrielight.

The demi-servant is the first to break eye contact, focusing on the master on the table.

"You didn't know?" Sion looks dumbfounded. Then she whips her head around, to the rest of the staff. "You didn't tell him?!"

"Tell me what?!" He- he has to have misheard. He has to be mistunderstanding something. It can't- they can't-

The master of Chaldea screams, and suddenly none of this matter anymore.

"It hurts." They breathe out, "it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

"I know, I know, Senpai-"

"You're not allowed to die," Goredolf adds, grabbing their arm. "You hear that? You don't have permission to die. Don't you dare pass away on me, advisor-"

Suddenly, their hand closes around his wrist. Their fingers are trembling. Their grip is weak.

"I'm scared." And it's during these moments, when fear and pain paints their face, that it truly hits Goredolf that this is no timeless hero, no steel-forged mage, no prophetized savior. They're a person. They're a human. Like him.

"H-hey, you're gonna be alright. I won't allow you to die. You hear? I won't-"

Their fingers tighten. Their gaze shift. They're no longer looking at him. At first Goredolf thinks that they're losing focus; but quickly enough, the truth becomes clear.

"I don't want to die." They plead, to someone, to something,

right

above

Goredolf's shoulder.

"I don't want to die. Please."

Goredolf opens his mouth. Mash reaches out to the master. The door opens to let Nemo nurse through.

The master of Chaldea howls.

It a sound from the bottom of their lungs. It's a sound from the bottom of their soul. It's a sound Goredolf can hear and taste and see, loud and bitter and a profound blue one could just drown in.

Pain suddenly stabs his wrist. Goredolf violently tears it away from the master's grip.

They don't seem to notice. They roll on their front, supporting their weight with their forearms. They're trembling all over- as if something was crawling under their skin, something immense and ancient that leaves ripple in its wake. Blood is dripping down from their chest, and something is dripping down from their mouth. Something black, that sticks to their lips, like oil. Or gasoline.

Their entire body curls, like a cat about to pounce. A high-pitched noise joins the screaming. Scratching. Scratching on the table. The master's nails digging into the table, leaving bloody trenches in their wake, and-

the back of their uniform rips open, bone-white spikes tearing their way through, a lionfish's spine.

The screaming stops, for a second, just enough for them to catch their breath. The silence is almost more painful to Goredolf's ears.

But another second, and they're screaming again. Their eyes are wide as saucers- one eye, two eyes, three eyes, four eyes, another pair blossoming right under their first one. They throw their head back, and their mouth opens wide, wide, wide- all the way to their cheeks, all the way to their ears, all the way to their throat, their teeth growing sharper and sharper the closer to the collar they get-

and suddenly, it all collapses. Their mouth snaps shut. The screaming ends. The master falls facefirst onto the table. The spikes fold themself back into their spine. Their throat sews itself closed. Their eyes close and dissolve under their skin again.

Goredolf finds that he cannot move. The entire scene seems frozen in time.

He fully expects the screaming to begin again. He expects this body to twist and juts into something unfathomable. But none of it happens. Instead, the moment is broken by a very quiet:

"Can't walk. B' my legs."

The master abruptly stands upright. The movement is so rough it barely seems to be coming from their own will- more like someone had grabbed a leash and tugged. Still panting, they tumble off the table. Their limbs are stiff and clumsy. One step. Their whole upper body falls forward before being forcefully dragged up. Two steps. Now their head and shoulders are hanging behind them, their arms like dead weight. Three steps. They look less like a walking person than like a puppet at the mercy of invisible strings.

"I'm good. I'm good. I can do this." They don't seem to be speaking to anyone in particular. The front of their uniform is ripped and bloody- but through the torn seams, Goredolf can see that their wound is completely healed. Pristine skin covers what was once a front view of their guts, barely tainted blue by the faint mark of clawed handprints.

"Oooookay." Their mouth drags onto the first syllable. Their gaze is unfocused. They may be healed, but that did not make them immune to pain. "I can keep going. I can keep going."

For a single, brief second, their eyes meet Goredolf's.

He knows this feeling. He is intimately familiar with it. His relationship with the office lady from outer space is nothing like his relationship with the master of Chaldea- it involves more skin and less clothes for a start- but Goredolf would recognize the sensation of being watched from behind someone else's eyes anywhere.

"I thought you were a Caster." Says Sion, at last.

The Foreigner servant blinks, closing weak fingers over Kyrielight's hand. "Whuh?"

[strayharmony943]

HAIIIII have some scenarios and questions for y'all (most of them are the bugs meeting Azren in different au's.

1: Royalty au, meeting the Prince of Ice and the king of blood.

Your bug and the rest of the bug army heard of the blood stained snow of the northern mountains. A place where the moon is as red as the blood that stains it's grounds.

So The founders and your bugs decide to head out to meet them...

Once they arrive, the so called snow barren lands are actually filled with frosted flora and fauna. They enter the castle and see the two..... Arguing?

"Azren...calm down..."

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!!! I NEARLY JUST GOT ENGAGED!? AND MY GIRLFRIEND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE NEARLY STARTED A WAR!!!!!!!"

Azren begins pacing until he see's the bugs

"o-oh....hi?"

"I apologize for his behavior....who might you all be?"

2: This is The pirate swap au!!! :3

Your bug was hanging out with some of the others, and Jemma was taking care of Sammy. {They know Azren but haven't told the others yet currently.}

Then in about 5 seconds, Azren comes out of nowhere and tackle hugs your bug, because he saw a shiny.

"CALAMITY, LOOK!!!! THEY SHINYYYYY!!!!!!"

"Azren slow down dear mother of pearl." Calamity swims over, looking exhausted. While Azren tries to grab at your bugs fin cuz it looks shiny to him.

[Side note: Azren is a lionfish merfolk while calamity is a sharkyyy :3 ]

3: And this is the mafia au!!!!!! Just so y'all know, in this au Azren has a serious case of bipolar and might be a bught insane/unhinged. So yeah. Have funnnnn!!

Your bug was told about an assassin trying to kill the bug boss aka bodie.. and is in the interrogation room...from what the information you were given.. the person's name is Azren, and might be insane. But before they can finish their train of thought... They hear manic laughter?

"OH COME ONN NNNNN, CAN'T YOU DO BETTER THAN SOME SIMPLE SHOCKS?!?!? HAHAH!!!!! THATS FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!!!"

Your bug enters the interrogation room and see's some other mafia members (not the other bugs or gators) are currently trying to get information out of Azren who looks like he's been through the 9 gates of hell and back.

"Awwwwww why'd ya stopppp, I was finally thinking of telling you something~"

He smirks and then passes out.

HI LEO!!! FnW shadow constantly rotates in my brain i literally cannot get this fish out of there << guy who is obsessed with creatures

do you have any fun little snippets of info abt him? like maybe something abt his biology or habits RAGHH SORRY I JUST THINK HE IS SO COOL ABSJHD!!!!!

HIIIIIIII RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH FISH MENTION !!!!!!!!!! lord hes swimming in my brain all the time... everytime i drink water its for Him actually, it goes up into my fishbowl skull i said it before a while ago ! but his biology is a gene splice of a bunch of marine life gerald thought would make a good lifeform ! so hes got traits of a bunch of critters, nautilus/squid propulsion via his quills and tail (though his quills dont snap shut *as* fast as his tail), flying fish back fins, jellyfish chest patch, lionfish poison in his mandibles and his 3rd 'eye' this is from a barrel eye fish and his color and feathers, and the fact that his body can become jelly enough to morph his legs into his tail comes from the blood belly comb jelly !!!

as for habits ! hes a weirdo as always dfshjbshf. he doesnt like land people bc they try to claim the sea, he especially hates things that harms the ocean. mass fishing operations, oil rigs, he'll tear them to shreds and has no problem with eating the people who were there. hes only around 100 years old but hes become infamous incredibly fast for being a ruthless creature that cannot be reasoned with! he also speaks solely with his mind, no one is sure if he can speak with his voice, or if he has one at all !

he lives very deep in the ocean almost entirely isolated, having some kind of setup i havent thought through fully ! but hes got a chaos emerald at all times with him :]! and while he is intelligent, he tends to just let himself Be Creature because he wants to! marine mobians have sophisticated methods of hunting, farming and cooking ! but he just swims around and swallows fish like a whale dfjhjhdg he bothers knuckles down in angel island regularly !! knuckles can punch so hard bc shadow used to let knuckles just punch him all the time out of annoyance, shadow used to never feel it, but now knuckles can hit hard enough to move shadow slightly ! hes also just a prick as ever sdfhhj, but hes so large that very few people ever pick a fight with him, so when he does meet a challenge hes so ready to fuck shit up >:]]]] sadly for him it never lasts long, until sonic and co i regularly think of a race scene between him and sonic, sonic on land and shadow in the water. hes so sure hes gonna win but sonic pushes thru and beats him and i . scream. he also is a very special boy and gets to communicate with Chaos regularly! he is unironically one of my most well adjusted shadows and it makes me laugh you prob know a lot of this stuff already but i hope i said something new for you !!!

white cloud mountain minnows…. will never stop repping these guys. love em

betta fish. the ogs but for a good reason they’re colorful come in all different shapes and personalities and aren’t high maintenance (though not as low maintenance as people think. aha$

big gourami fan…. all kinds. awesome stuff

LOACHES!!! they’re all so cool i’m getting kuhli loaches soon

do shrimp count whenever i see a shrimp in an aquarium i go yippee!!!! yayayyyyyy!!!!

top five (saltwater to narrow it down and bc i don’t talk about them as much) fish i’ve seen in the wild in no particular order

lionfish…. yes they’re invasive and awful but they’re SO cool

2. TARPON!!!! i once was out paddle boarding and i got stuck above a giant school of tiny minnows that were just getting decimated by a massive tarpon that was just literally eating strips out of the school…. fucking sick

also i’ve been to this place to feed them if you recognize it you’re a real one^

THIS WAS SO FUN GRINN!! thank youu

[terrah-lee]

So part of me wanted to wait to post this until I was willing to do more than the most basic of shading ever on Mikey and Donnie’s tails… but I wanna talk about my boys so fuck that lmao.

The boys!! You can probably guess which ones are Mikey and Donnie, but for the other two: left is Leo, right is Raph.

I had so much fun trying to design these guys while trying to combine a couple of *very* heavily patterned animals. Raph in particular was difficult, because most Lionfish are red. You’d think that would be great since he’s the red guy, but every time I tried to think about going that route it just… didn’t look great. The current design does have red in it, but it’s not so in your face.

Now random facts Time!

Raph:

he’s a 22 year old, 6’4” tank of a mutant who loses like 80% of his intimidation factor when he lets his brother cling to him like geckos

He has two partners: Sol and Mona; Mona is pretty self explanatory, but Sol is a male OC that was created by complete accident and wouldn’t leave

If not already obvious, the guy is bi

He tends to act as both an older brother and a bit of a parent to his younger siblings since he is not only seven years older than them, but was only found by Splinter when he was 17

Raph isn’t actually a ninja and does not have the usual color-coded bandana or his sais

He can do a bunch of knife tricks though

This also means he doesn’t patrol, but for certain reasons this… isn’t really a bad thing

Leo:

He’s the second oldest at 15 and 5’6”; he’s probably hiding behind Raph anytime they’re in public

Yes, he does have a crush on a certain rabbit that he goes to school with

He has some pretty bad social anxiety, so while he’s great at planning and does “lead” on patrols it’s usually Donnie and Mikey doing most of the talking when necessary

Plays a lot of video games— he has every high score in that household

He also spends a lot of time taking care of plants with Raph and Splinter

Mikey:

14 years old and 5’4”; do not leave him and his twin Donnie unsupervised for too long or something *will* blow up

The fastest out of all of them even if only by a tiny margin over Donnie

Loves chemistry— yes, he and Donnie have made bombs

Very outgoing, but being nice and a menace are possible at the same time

Actually a very capable ninja and he’s most likely to split off on his own from the others

Donnie:

14 and 5’4” just like Mikey; probably the one you actually want to talk to if you like living

Quiet but confident; he might not approach you first but can and will talk your ears off if you get him going

Works with Mikey on a lot of his inventions, which leads to a lot of ah… hidden features

Has modified his bo partially out of necessity because while Raph is by far the strongest they all have a tendency to break normal weapons

Just do not piss this kid off he will hunt you and your family down for sport
