what kind of cratures do you think the trigun gang would be?

CREATURES IN GENERAL OR SEA CREATURES. BECAUSE MY FRIEND MONTY N I WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT TRIGUN FURSONAS THE OTHER DAY. but i am the sea creature guy at heart so im gonns give u those i hope that is ok 😌 there are many benefits to being a marine biologist.

Vash: he is... so very shark coded to me. everyone looks at him and sees a dangerous killing machine. frequently covered in scars. do u see the connection here. he is specifically a thresher shark to me because of the whole sharpshooter thing and also the sad sad puppydog eyes 💙

Wolfwood: i am torn between two different types of eels for him. giant morays are more aesthetically pleasing but personally i have to go with a wolf eel both for the name and because ive worked with these guys before and theyre sooooo cool so im biased

Meryl: not technically a sea creature because she is just so bird coded to me. White-Tailed Tropicbird

Milly: is it cheating to have two cephalopods on this list. because i think i really want to say giant pacific octopus for milly. either that or a whale shark 💙 yes those are two completely different animals no i will not be taking criticism at this time

bonus Knives because i love him and i feel the most strongly about this one:

BOBTAIL SQUID.

... and also a bristle worm . for what i hope are obvious reasons

[petrichorium]

sun glinting off the water’s surface, broken by a too-large tail. the roar of pouring rain upon the roiling sea. a haunting song that drifts in on the tide. the sun’s light blotted out by the churning clouds of a sudden storm. glowing eyes peering out through inky depths

this is the start of mermay.

If Tides Could Speak (They'd Call You Home) by @shibaraki {mature} an unlikely hero comes in the form of a barbarian. your stolen pelt is returned by his hand—but for a selkie that is more than simple kindness. it is a proposal.

bakugou katsuki x reader

accidental marriage ✧ fantasy au ✧ falling in love

“here,” he thrusts the pelt into your arms. you scramble and clutch it to your front. something inside you shifts. “this is yours, right? we took it during the raid”.

you’re frozen to the spot, mouth gaping around words that won’t come. bakugo frowns, the party members behind him glancing at each other and shrugging when they find no answer to your silence.

“Well?” he demands, embarrassment staining his ears pink.

You wet your lips, breath shaken. “Bakugo. Do you understand the significance of what you just did?”

Something in the Water by @andypantsx3 {mature} as a future marine biologist, you’ve scored big on your final internship: a summer in the tropics, researching the waters off the coast of a lush, sunny island. but what you thought would be all beach days and piña coladas turns out to be the revelation of a lifetime when you haul in a handsome merprince, and discover not everything in these waters is quite as it seems.

todoroki shouto x reader

interspecies relationship ✧ mating rituals ✧ case fic

the merman’s gaze slowly trailed down your body and you fought back a strange wave of embarrassment. his fingers flexed on your ankle, those claws rasping sweetly, dangerously over the thin skin there. he pulled your leg out a little bit like he was inspecting it.

“how strange,” he murmured, his tone going soft.

you didn’t know what to think, just stared at him as his gaze roved over the bare skin of your thigh in your sea-soaked shorts.

Blood in the Water by @petrichorium {explicit} in which jade leech is hungry for something only you can give him and, because he's jade leech, has a roundabout way of asking for it.

jade leech x reader

period sex ✧ established relationship ✧ pwp

“i can smell it,” jade says hazily.

“wh—what?”

“it’s… maddening. all-consuming. it takes everything in me to remain civil when you’re dry but then you bathe and it becomes agony.” his eyes seem glazed over, a look that reminds you of his erratic other half and has you feeling a little like a butterfly pinned under glass—or maybe like you’ve been carefully placed in one of his beloved terrariums. his chest heaves with a long, slow inhale. clawed fingers grip harder at the flesh of your thighs and he moves closer, lifting your knee to rest atop his shoulder. when he speaks it’s a murmur, and you wonder if you’re meant to have heard at all. “blood in the water. all of my instincts searching for the prey, writhing and helpless, ripe for the taking.”

What the Water Gave Me by @shibaraki {mature} when your sailboat is caught in a vicious storm you are saved by a whale sized mer that cannot keep his curiosity—nor his affections—at bay.

midoriya izuku x reader

courting behaviors ✧ modern fantasy ✧ macro/micro

it's a mer. it must be. mer sightings are incredibly rare— rare enough that tourists in your port town still call them myths. you’re in the palm of a legend. a giant one at that. 

what you know to be the mer’s thumb passes over you cautiously. you flinch despite his obvious attempt at telegraphing the movement. to someone your size it still happens a little too fast. the sinew in your neck hurts, wrung with tension as the thumb stops an inch short of your crown. seconds elapse. there’s a light pressure, liquid streaming down your face, a back and forth motion, a low warbling. 

the mer is petting you.

My Life, My Lover, My Lady (Is the Sea) by @odieoats {explicit} your underwater home becomes collateral damage in a war waged by the humans above you—and you aren’t going to let the loudmouthed pirate captain ever forget it.

enemies to lovers ✧ pirates ✧ language barriers

“you think i don’t like books?” bakugou leers, snatching the soggy tome from your hand. the pages stick to your fingertips for just a second as he pries the book away. “just ‘cause i ain’t a fuckin’ philosopher, doesn’t mean i’m a dumbass.”

Pharos by @auraxins {mature} a sailor by nature, you’re called to the seas. when you end up stranded on an island with an ancient lighthouse, you expect the act of fixing it to bring you help—not to leave you stuck with the human vessel of an equally ancient sea god who is just as clueless on how to escape.

chuuya nakahara x reader

oceanic eldritch deity au ✧ mutual pining ✧ strangers to lovers

upon the beach stands a man. 

unremarkable in stature, yet with an aura surrounding him that fills you with a strange sort of dread deep in the pit of your stomach. 

“who are you?” you call. “what business have you here?”

“you don't know?” barks the man, incredulousness in his tone. “you summoned me here.”“i fixed the lighthouse,” you correct. “i did not summon anything.”

Don't Touch the Glass by @shibaraki {mature} merfolk are otherworldly creatures that fall victim to human greed all too often. your team happens upon an abandoned aquatic theatre housing a single converted shipping container full of water — inside it is an adult siren, left behind to die.

shinsou hitoshi x reader

recovery ✧ interspecies relationship ✧ strangers to lovers

you creep onto the platform and lean carefully against the railing, scanning the area. the surface is covered in dense scum. you barely make out a silhouette in the tank, suspended lifelessly. their body twitches as the metal creaks. 

instinct puppets your limbs as you stumble back. a shout comes from the doorway. your eyes squeeze shut to the sudden splash of water, narrowly missing the clawed hand hooked in the treads. attached is a thin arm, gauzy fins protruding from the wrist upheld by chitinous spines. 

a siren.

An Itch to Scratch by @coopigeoncoo {explicit} kirishima eijiro is everything you never thought you’d find when you packed up and moved to a dilapidated fishing town.  he was handsome, funny, and kind; the sort of man who took your breath away. 

and that might actually be a bit of a problem.

kirishima eijirou x reader

medical issues ✧ interspecies relationship ✧ practical jokes

"good girl," eijiro praised, his hands like a vice on your hips as he pulled away from your mouth with a satisfied grin.  you returned his smile with one of your own; the vibrant joy that had churned in your belly unfurled throughout your body, leaving you feeling breathless and lightheaded.

"eiji," you gasped, eyes widening in panic as your lungs seemed to seize in your chest.  "i- can't breathe!"

Hidden in the Sand by @smashboxgirl26 {mature} seeing your face again wasn’t something he’d ever expected: though you don’t normally think about seeing your dead childhood friend as a mermaid.

bakugou katsuki x reader

pro hero au ✧ childhood friends ✧ angst

the face it bore was familiar: with rosy cheeks from the cold, the same eyes he’d known ever since he was a child, hair curled around her face as if it were the frame of a painting.

the resemblance was uncanny. he knew her.

it all hit him so suddenly: the late nights spent under the stars, running around the forest barefoot, sneaking in through the window at night, getting drenched from the hose; secrets, stories, lies — they all came back as easily as he’d repressed them all those years ago.

when she’d lost herself to the sea and left him forever.

Rises The Moon by @petrichorium {mature} in which you find yourself torn between your dear friend, the village's strongest protector... and the very creature he's sworn to hunt, who is determined to take you as his mate.

kokushibo x reader (ft. gyoumei)

interspecies relationship ✧ courting rituals ✧ love triangle

The boat sways.

At first it doesn't faze you—like a large wave, nothing more. But then you’re rising up and the wood is dipping beneath your feet and your head snaps down to find a very large, very tripled set of bright orange eyes right in front of your face, and you’re falling.

The boat tilts entirely; you scramble for the edge of it, mindless, stupid panic gripping you with nothing in your brain except how utterly foolish it was to come out into the middle of the bay to search for an apex predator in a boat barely half its size. The water is so icy that you gasp and inhale on contact, as it surges over your head and you’re plunged into cold, endless black. Those claws find your waist and you know two things with grave certainty: it’s only been playing with its food, and you’re going to be dragged under and torn apart.

In the Eyes of the Tide by @namodawrites {teen} hoping for a quieter life, you uproot your life in the city in favor of a quaint, coastal town. but as the seasons flip, you discover there's more to it—and your new friend, oogami banri—than meets the eye.

oogami banri x reader

secret identity ✧ au ✧ friends to lovers

“oogami-san?” you resist the urge to press your ear against the door. “are you alright in there?”

his tone comes back, muffled but cheery. “no problem! don’t worry about me—those shrimp are probably ready to take out of the water by now. would you mind putting them in the ice bath for me?”

there’s a feeling in the back of your mind, coaxing you, tempting your hand to reach for the door. but you’d rather jump into the ocean on a stormy day than barge in banri in his own bathroom, and you take a deliberate step back, staring at the blank canvas of the door.

“yeah,” you say, sounding unsure even to your own ears, “yeah, i can do that.”

High Tide (Came and Brought You In) by @pikatsum {teen} you’d originally rescued the injured merman out of kindness, and perhaps a healthy undercurrent of fear of what others in your town might do to the creature. 

the last thing you ever expected after returning him to the sea, was for him to want to stay.

todoroki shouto x reader

courting ✧ slight angst ✧ strangers to lovers

you‘d heard of hysterical strength before, but you’d never truly acknowledged the sensation until the soaked, dripping netting was held high above your head. but very quickly, you couldn’t process anything outside of the form that waited underneath. 

a pair of bright dichromatic eyes blinked at you through the gloom. it would be almost ethereal, if their owner wasn’t literally heaving for breath, both arms stuck akimbo in the holes of the netting. evidently, he and you had had the same idea. you gave voice to the only thought that actually did make sense in this situation.

“…what the hell…?”

read here

Melancholic by @stellamancer {mature} you were excited to return home for the summer, but all that excitement is quickly thrown out the window and you nearly resign yourself to a quiet and lonely summer.

the insufferable merman you rescued, however, has other plans.

gojo satoru x reader

roommates ✧ belligerent sexual tension ✧ interspecies friendship

he tilts his head, attempting to look innocent. and maybe his big eyes and wet, barely puckered lips would have convinced you a few hours ago, but now that you’re older and wiser you know that it’s all just an act. "oh, but—"

"unfortunately," you interject, raising your voice slightly in an attempt to establish dominance over the conversation at hand, "i'm rather uneducated when it comes to merfolk food culture."

the merman smiles at you with flirtatious ease, “i’m happy to teach you. i’m quite the teacher, you know.”

Mermaid!Knives x Reader Headcanons

Idk what this is I was watching a movie and thought "Hey imagine Mermaid!Knives breeding you underwater" like any sane person.

Also this is semi modern AU, so reader is brought in as a student marine biologist to observe Knives. Also cute Mer!Vash moments cause he loves his human caretakers unlike his brother.

TW: interspecies sex, slight drowning warning, creampie, breeding, belly bulging, impregnated reader, marking, knives being his usual bastard self

🚫Minors DNI🚫

You wouldn't expect the your first job fresh out of college to be observing creatures of myth, but the woman known as Professor Rem Saverem was just thrilled to have someone to share her love of these creatures with.

The first time you met Mer!Knives was when his brother Mer!Vash dragged him along to be introduced, the non-speaking mermaid eagerly signing their introductions while the colder more reserved one glared daggers at you. Rem reassured you he did that to everyone, but you couldn't help but find the colder Mer!Knives alluring.

The second time you met Mer!Knives was while you were on break, sitting with Rem at the edge of the observation pool. It was a small tradition she did as she explained the boys personalities to you, explaining that she practically raised them from hatchlings.

Mer!Knives had been dragged yet again by his younger twin, who failed at snatching Rems lunch. While this Happened Mer!Knives had gained more confidence of your presence after observing you and breached to lean against the steel stairs to boredly stare at you.

You had frozen in shock after knowing how temperamental he was, but after a while you broke off a piece of your lunch and offered it to him.

Mer!Knives giving you a look of disgust before snatching the food and diving back into water. Both Rem and Mer!Vash were shocked he even accepted the food as he despised the taste of human food.

Mer!Vash who knew just how interested Mer!Knives was in your sudden appearances, so he'd often get his brother to approve of shells before presenting them to you as gifts.

Mer!Knives would often stalk you while either in the water, or from the outside of the glass walls in the underwater laboratory. Watching everything you did with an intense interest.

Mer!Knives who had dragged you into the water from the observation pool, causing panic from Rem.

Mer!Knives who eagerly pawed and groped at your body as he studied your reactions and the way you desperately clung to him as you slowly lost oxygen.

Mer!Knives who grinned cruelly at the way you struggled as you couldn't breath, holding you firmly in his arms so you couldn't escape.

Mer!Knives who roughly threw you back against the cold metal of the observation pool, watching as you vomited mouthfuls of salt water.

Mer!Knives who was then lectured by Mer!Vash and Rem on his behaviour. Mer!Vash then trying to teach Mer!Knives how to court.

Mer!Knives who tried his brothers advice, despite thinking it stupid, only for you to panic at the sudden appearances of dead fish, eels and bloodied shark teeth.

Mer!Knives breaching the surface to show off his many scars, only to be shooed away by Rem.

Mer!Knives who gave up the courting and instead waited till you were alone before appearing and pinning you down.

Mer!Knives who hungrily tore your clothes off, teeth biting down as you felt something wet press against the small of your back.

Mer!Knives pounding into you ruthlessly from behind, growling as he placed a mating mark on your shoulder.

Mer!Knives that dragged you back into the water still tangled with you as he bred you harder, turning you to face him.

Mer!Knives watching as you lose air faster from your circumstance, blood swelling around you from his mark.

Mer!Knives smirking as he came several times in you, watching your stomach swell as he continued to fill you with his seed.

Mer!Knives that kissed you with such ferocity, breathing air back into your lungs so you would last longer.

Mer!Knives who once was done, would nuzzle into the crook of your neck, arms wrapped around your body as he nipped at your delicate skin.

Mer!Knives that stuffed his fingers inside you so none of his seed would escape, even as he returned you to the laboratory, watching you tiredly gasp for air.

Mer!Knives who would lay his head on your stomach, with a proud smile on his face as he replayed your bliss, fucked out face silently crying out his name in the water.

Mer!Knives watching from the distance as Rem studied the Mating mark with fascination.

Mer!Knives smirking as you returned to him, feeling your stomach flutter with lust. Begging him to stuff you full yet again.

Mer!Knives complying, knowing you'd always return to him to be fucked senseless and bred until your stomach swelled with his seed.

Mer!Knives who gave Rem a wicked grin as she told him and Mer!Vash of your sudden pregnancy.

-slides into your asks- ok but. Details on the aquarium au? Like yess i love the idea!! Void man the marine biologist!! Both families going there!! Em making friends!! Its all so wholesome and you know what? They deserve itt :D

hehehhe!!! I have so many ideas you couldn't even imagine babeygurl. I just really wanted this au to be super wholesome for everyones faves. If you have a dh character you like- they are likely in this AU somewhere just know that. It's sorta just morphed into my own feel-good modern au rather than just an Aquarium AU

Some misc Fin-Tastic AU notes (also featured in the art):

Corvo has a motorcycle (as does Daud and the Whalers. They actually have a Motorcycle Gang in town)

Daud also runs a definitely legit Self-Defense Class (that definitely isn't an underground fight-club)

Emily attends the classes as part of the "Jr. Knives of Dunwall" course)

Delilah owns an upscale Art Gallery in town (and has been told to not visit after claiming to know Corvo's sister and gas-lit him that some random child she paid was his nephew)

Billie and Thomas live with Daud in his apartment and brought home some dogs one day. Daud told them absolutely not. The dogs love Daud. They have dogs now.

Headcannon dump PLEASE PLEASE PLAss

Ohh a headcanon dump, you say? Glady!!

I will say this took me quite a bit to figure out how I want to,, format?? This?? Whatever the word is LMAO but ultimately I've decided: fuck it we ball

Now for headcanons :3

Ghost has a knife collection! He doesn't remember where some of the knives came from, but he likes them anyway, he has a display case in his room for all his knives. Strangely, the ones he doesn't recognize have the initials J.C. carved into them. Wonder what that's about. Probably nothing. Ghost also enjoys photography and film making, similar to another individual very close to him!

Toast is extremely good at engineering and mechanics- his prosthetic arm is something he created and designed himself. He also has quite a bit of medical knowledge due to how much research he had done after losing his arm and creating his prosthetic. Other than creating his prosthetic, he's also created a multitude of ghost-hunting devices that PIE uses reguarly missions, as wacky as some may be

Spooker is an artist! In particular, he likes doodling flowers and small animals like cats, birds, squirrels, etc, writing poems, and he LOVES scrapbooking. He also knows how to sew!! Though, only a little. He also loves flowerpressing, he has multiple journals full of so many different little art projects and so many photos he and Ghost have taken and flowers and plants he's collected and so much more

Colon loves the ocean and space, but ESPECIALLY the ocean. Ask him about aquatic life and he'll tell you all about it, especially stuff that's in the deepest parts of the ocean, like the bigfin squid. He could spend hours or even days talking about the ocean and the wide expanse of space. He used to want to be an astronaut or marine biologist as a kid, though life led him somehow to being an athlete and then a ghost hunter. He's happy as a ghost hunter though, it's a very exciting and interesting job

Jimmy is a lot more than just some unhinged murderer, he used to be a human before he turned into the spirit he is now- however, he no longer has any memory of his life before "merging" with Ghost and his soul becoming attached to his, his real last name isn't even Casket- he just stole that from Ghost's family since he forgot his own last name. He's almost unrecognizable from who he used to be

Gavin, like Toast, is also extremely smart, just in a different way. His expertise lies more in chemistry rather than engineering. He used to not really care about sciences, or anything really, until the "Back From The Dead" pandemic, if you will, started to really, really become an issue, leading the state of the world in shambles with the constant revivals of all living things, and fueled by his jealousy towards Toast and desire to replace him, he started researching how to create a "perma-death" serum to "cure" this form of immortality plague and to get rid of Toast

Spencer is a huge fan of Vocaloid. Posters and merch, his computer is themed around Hatsune Miku and Gumi Megpoid (they're his favorites) one of his happiest memories is when he got to go to Miku Expo for the first time. I also think he was scene when he was in middleschool/highschool, he still owns a lot of clothing items and jewelry from back then, and still wears a lot of them still, even if now he dresses more "proper" with collared shirts and sweater vests

Sally was 100% an LPStuber wannabe as a kid, she owned a huge collection of LPS toys and would make silly LPS videos on Gertrude's phone and upload them to YouTube, sometimes her siblings would help her make them too. Another headcanon is that she loves clowns and the whole aesthetic of them, scary or cutesy, she loves it and definitely has clown themed LPS customs

While on the surface, Billy seems a bit airheaded and out of touch when it comes to social situations, he's actually very intelligent and knows a lot more than he lets on. He's a very skilled doctor and when it comes to his Back From The Dead ability, while he can't control it, he knows a lot more about it and how it works. It's an inherent knowledge he was born with, and he knows to keep a secret

Sue is a complete disaster when it comes to her love life. She sees a cute girl and she fumbles HARD. Sue is rather clumsy and mispeaks a lot, often accidentally tripping and accidentally bumping into other people, she really does those kinds of things a lot anyway. She doesn't beat herself up for it though, she's just a bit clumsy is all! Also she loves Fluttershy from MLP that's her girl right there

Stardust Sprinkleshine, when his human disguise, plays the role of a prophet and a disciple under the Love Cult, preaching to his followers the beliefs and virtues they follow, and condemning the non-believers, occasionally becoming "possessed" by Stardust to speak to his followers directly

Barnacle is the elder sister of Spooker, however her name and face has long since been forgotten due to the nature of Hell's Island after her "death." Her family no longer remember her, neither do her old friends, and she's unable to escape that haunted, old ghost town. She used to wear a gasmask to protect herself until she realized that it didn't matter, she was already dead

[v-vox-v]

hello, Mr Vox!! I have a couple of great white shark facts for u >:)

great white shark teeth are serrated, triangular, and as sharp as steak knives!

a great white shark starred in the movie "Jaws".

a great white shark can jump completely out of water.

that's all I have, thank you for your time! ^^

“HOLY SHIT DID JAWS GET MENTIONED?!”

“For those of you that don’t know about the movie I’ll summarize it for you!”

“On Amity Island, a place not unlike New York's Fire Island, there is a plague of shark attacks. Several people are slain. The Mayor (Murray Hamilton) is the sort who doesn't believe in rocking the boat (or ruining business during the short summer season), so he tries to keep the news quiet and tells the local fishermen that he would appreciate it if they can take some time out from clamming and lobster traps to hunt down whatever it is out there. A good-sized shark is captured and killed, and Mayor Hamilton happily assures tourists and newsmen that the danger has passed and now it's safe to go back in the water. Oh the fool he was.

A charming marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) arrives to look deeper into the dead shark. He quickly becomes convinced that this creature could not possibly be the same one that did all the bloody work. He tells the police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) that there is no way this piddling fish could have been responsible. No, sir, this has to have been the work of—A Great White Shark. Martin thinks Matt is wrong but is soon convinced when there's yet another attack. Matt and Martin bring this to the attention of everyone at a town meeting, over the objections of Mayor Hamilton, who still wants to keep everything under wraps. The fishermen, upon hearing that the culprit is a Great White, decide that their lives are too valuable to risk in stalking such a beast. A seaman Quint (Robert Shaw) with a penchant for foul language and a loner attitude then steps forward and says he can kill the gargantuan fish if they come up with some serious money. The town council hems and haws but finally agrees, and Quint, Matt, and Martin join forces on Quint's boat for the hunt. Hunting the great white Now the story resembles Moby Dick as Quint trails the shark the way Ahab did the whale. There's a bit of time out for some funny dialogue between the disparate men, but then the action begins in earnest. They spot the shark; Quint harpoons it several times, but it's like pinpricks to the 28-foot shark and it toys with them. With John Williams' haunting theme playing in the background, the shark starts to counterattack and tows the boat further out to sea.

Next the shark gets annoyed by these intruders who've come to its neck of the ocean and decides to go after them. The final sequences are one shock after another as the shark capsizes the boat and swallows Quint whole. In the end, Martin saves himself and Matt by wedging an air tank in the mouth of the shark and exploding it. Background Fortunes soared Spielberg shows great restraint in his handling of the menace. The shark isn't seen, except for bits and pieces and shadows underwater, for an hour and twenty minutes into the movie. As a result, the first time it lurches above the water, grown men screamed and those of faint heart reached for their nitroglycerine pills.”

Your tags on that foxes comic! Poor U'rajya can expect to be picked up and hugged with his feet dangling at any moment now... 🤭

Fury is consistently surprising his siblings by sweeping them up off their feet so really it was only a matter of time before this happened with one of his partners, as well.

(Paz is 6'3" and stabs whenever he's surprised by something. This does not stop Fury completely, but it is one of the few things capable of making him wonder if he really should do something.)

U'Rajya on the other hand, is 5'3" and generally just sort of squawky when surprised. Sure, they have knives, but unlike some people, they do not skip straight to Stabbity Stab Stab.

(They do fling their head back because Tuskens have those spiky metal parts in their head wraps and that makes a rather acceptable improv weapon. Fury's second-youngest sibling Whisper does the same thing, so he's already in the habit of dodging.)

In conclusion, there are many benefits to being a marine biologist impulsive, strong, and married to a short person. Tune in next week to see Fury getting chased around the house!

also bonus picture that I saved forever ago in reference to exactly this

OC Smash or Pass

Thank you @theprissythumbelina for the tag! I haven't done one of these before and it seems fun!

rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but have a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc)

I'm a bit glad I delayed posting this since I just found the perfect face claim for my Queen, Shuntala.

Stardew Valley icon: jazzybee Face claim: Kiara Advani

Appearance: 5'9 (177cm), in her 20s through the series, long almost black hair she usually keeps in an up-do or braid, golden tan skin tone, and hazel eyes

Personality: Stubborn, intelligent (mostly), impulsive at times, and adventurous. A bit unhinged even before the horrors. After you get the bonus of Shuntala thinking the first course of action in any situation is murder. She loves dancing, the sea, fashion, and reading. She's fiercely protective of her loved ones and those who can't fend for themselves. If she's not doing something out of love she's doing it out of spite and anger.

Other propaganda: Lady turned pirate hunter, weapon of choice is the throwing knives, favorite color is blue, bit a chunk out of the main antagonist's arm like two minutes after meeting him. In a modern earth setting she would become a marine biologist.

Tagging: @megarywrites @blue-kyber @emelkae @oh-no-another-idea @theunboundwriter @violets-in-her-arms-writes and open tag for anyone wanting to join in the fun!

Oh Navya, you must tell me more about this Marine Biologist Enemies to Lovers AU story you have going. ☺️💞

Hello Mel!!!! Thank you for the ask!!!

Okay, so I was going through a few different ideas but what I ultimately settled on was that Bucky and Steve are both marine biologists and rivals/nemesis in their fields. They don't actually know each other very well but they went to rival schools, other scientists are constantly comparing them and there mayyyy have been a few passive aggressive academic peer reviews.

But they end up on the same boat for an expedition because of grant/funding issues and also because their work can overlap and probably help both of their research. They are NOT enthused about this but the choice has been taken out of their hands.

And it's definitely a meet ugly because there has now been years of assumptions and petty shit talking and they are just being assholes to each other. Meanwhile the rest of the crew see the writing on the wall and a betting pool starts to see when they finally just fuck it out.

Unfortunately, both Bucky and Steve learn about the bet and refuse to give into the sexual tension because that's LOSING so fuck that!

But Bucky thinks he's going to go catatonic because Steve is allergic to clothes and constantly just walks around in tiny shorts or lounging with an open wetsuit.

And if it was just lust, Bucky could handle it but Steve turns out not to be the arrogant prick he thought was. He's a great team leader, knowledgeable and so fucking competent. That drives Bucky up the wall because he has a competency kink a mile wide.

As for Steve, he thought Bucky was going to just lock himself in the lab and be a demanding jerk who won't be a team player. Instead, Bucky is right there with everyone getting dirty and working his ass off even though he has less field experience than Steve. And Steve will swallow knives before he admits it but he loves how Bucky's face lights up when he talks about his work. Because it's so obvious how much Bucky cares about the ocean, its creatures, and wants to protect everything about it.

Something will eventually give of course but who's going to trip up first? 😏😏😏

"Oh, come on, Jotaro!!"

"Tch, I said absolutely NOT!!"

The blonde gritted his teeth, the small vampiric fangs showing through. "Will you get over your damn feud just this once?!"

"Tch, fuck no!"

"Mn... Jotaro," an older voice chimed in. "Perhaps the young one has a point? It has been over two decades..."

The marine biologist shot his grandfather a glare before looking back to the teen mafioso. "Do you even understand the amount of chaos we went through because of your father?"

"I do." Giorno hissed. "But this isn't being asked for his sake, I'm asking for my mother. She set aside the one thing that's special for a woman and that's her special day, her very wedding!!"

"And that's her problem!!"

"Oi, what's the commotion about?" Josuke. He always had a bad habit of not paying attention until the noise got to loud for him to ignore. "Who's having a wedding??"

Giorno turned and gave the young adult an exhausted look. "Ah, buon giorno, Josuke. My apologies for disturbing you, I'm trying to get Jotaro to help with something I wish to surprise my mother with."

"But aren't Ads and Dio already married?"

Giorno sighed. "Yes, but they never had a proper wedding ceremony. Legally, it was done at home and Papa had a friend who pulled some strings with the church. Mama has never had the chance to wear a real wedding dress, nor enjoy that one special day."

Josuke raised an eyebrow, his gaze shifting to his nephew. "And this is a problem... why?"

Jotaro glared at him. "Tch."

"Giorno, let's do it." Josuke encouraged. "Gramps, what's your take?"

Joseph rested a hand on his cane, looking at the two. "Dio may have been... er... that was his name, right? Well, no matter. When is this party?"

Giorno smirked at the only negative nancy in the room. "Better get your daughter a pretty little dress, she'll be the flower girl."

Jotaro's jaw clenched, resisting the urge to clock the kid. "I'll replace those flowers with knives."

"Good, it will make Papa glad to know you thought of his hobbies."

Jotaro groaned as he stood from his chair, storming from the room.

After months of planning, it was finally the day. All was set and ready, food choices precise, and music hand-picked by Josuke. Giorno has picked the loveliest dress for his mother, albeit was shocked when she had dyed it black. He knew, however, that she was excited and still a tad in shock that he'd put all of this together for her.

Of course, his father was in a more proper attire for a change, which was a shock to everyone as well. But knowing Dio, he did still add a personal flare to the attire with a red cape. Somehow, Giorno knew his father wouldn't be able to keep himself from being flamboyant in some manner... at least he ensured it would go nice when paired against his wife.

The ceremony was held in an old, stone cathedral that could hold plenty of guests. Lace drapery hung at the stained glass windows and everyone was dressed to impress.

"Ah, Giorno~" Adelaide cooed, taking her son's hands. "This party is wonderful. You didn't have to go to all this trouble, really!"

Giorno chuckled, eyes closed eyes smiling. "Of course I did, Mama. You never had your special day, and so you deserve this. Today is your day, no one can tell you otherwise."

The blonde woman was glowing, if that was even possible for a vampire. "Oh, my son, you are too sweet. I'm honestly surprised that you got Jotaro to even agree to be in attendance!"

Giorno huffed, although a smirk broke through. "It took a lot of convincing, I can assure you. That reminds me!"

"Yes?"

Giorno smiled wide. "Have you had your dance yet?"

Adelaide cocked her head slightly, not recognizing at first what her son was asking. "W-What? Oh! You mean...? I, uhm... N-No, I have not, You know your father isn't one for that, and with a crowd he'd be even less willing. Especially in front of Jotaro of all people."

The Don's brows furrowed. "You can't be serious? Mama, you can't let him rid you of that! That's a special moment for you! Just as special as this party!"The woman shook her head. "N-No no, it's okay, dear. Really, I--"

Her words were cut off when the music suddenly stopped, everyone's attention turning towards the front of the cathedral. There, Josuke stood in a fitting, purple suit that was complete with frilly white wrist cuffs. "Everyone, if I can divert your attention please!"

Adelaide raised a brow, leaning to whisper to her son. "Giorno, what is he doing?" The mafioso, however, had just as confused of a look as she did. "I have no idea..."

"Now, first off, let me thank all of your for coming. We know our families have had their differences, but to us all put them aside to give someone a once in a lifetime moment such as this is quite heartwarming." Josuke spoke, a sparkle in his eye. "Wouldn't you agree, Jotaro?"

"Tch." Jotaro didn't respond, all he did was roll his eyes at the comment.

"I knew you'd agree!" Josuke teased. "Now! We've all been having quite the time here, drinking and enjoying the food and company, but there's just one thing I can't help but notice was overlooked! Forgotten!!"

"Did I misplace my cane again?" Joseph stammered, looking around as everyone lightly laughed. "Huh?"

"No no, gramps, your cane is right there with you." Josuke chuckled. "What I'm talking about is something special, something that would be intimate and only for the bride and groom. What I speak of... is the bride's special dance."

Giorno's eyes widened in surprise. He'd noticed, as well? Well, he wasn't going to contest if the young man was going to take initiative. His attention was diverted when he heard his father's voice.

"....The hell are you on about?" Dio snarled, tapping his nail against the wine glass in his hand.

Giorno's gaze then fell upon his mother again. "Ah! G-Giorno!" Her tone was nervous and hushed, clearly worried. "G-Giorno, your father isn't going to agree to this!"

Josuke could see from the stage what was occurring with the bride and a strange look came upon his face. Was it confidence or a form of bravado? "Giorno. Bring your mother to the center, would you? Jotaro, you'll help, yes?"

Jotaro huffed. He wasn't going to budge at first, but then a smirk came over his face. He knew what Josuke was asking without having to get clarification. "Yare yare, daze..." The man stood and made his way to his old enemy's side.

"G-Giorno!" Adelaide stammered, her son gracefully leading her to the center of the room.

"H-Hey!! Get your hands off me!!" Dio protested as Jotaro began pushing Dio in the same direction, a devious grin on his face. "Shut up."

Adelaide and Dio stood awkwardly at the center of the room together, Jotaro returning to his seat and Giorno joining Josuke up on the stage.

"And now..." Josuke began. "May we present to you..."

"The bride..." Giorno chimed in. "...and groom's moment to shine."

With that, Giorno turned to Josuke and they both nodded. At this point, the two younger men were mentally in synch. They knew just the song to put on, even if it wasn't the most conventional choice.

Adelaide's eyes widened as a more upbeat tune began to play from the cathedral's speaker system that Narancia had set up. She turned and looked around, frozen at first. When she saw her husband's expression, however, she then smirked. Dio stood with his right side to her, arms folded and eyes closed, clearly irritated at their son's actions. Adelaide exchanged glances with both Giorno and Josuke before turning back to her husband, shoving him.

"H-Hey!!" Dio hissed. "What are you--!!" Adelaide backed away from him, a smirk on her face as she grabbed a corner of her skirt and began to lift it above her knee. Dio's eyes widened as well as Giorno's when the two watched the woman tear the fabric of her dress, taking it from floor length to her mid-thigh. If a dance is what her son wanted her to have with Dio, then a dance everyone would get.

"She's into superstition~" Giorno began to sing.

"Black cats and voodoo dolls~" Josuke followed up, taking on the back-up role.

I think they should do a Knives Out movie with a marine biologist in it and it should be called Red Herring.

🤫

Traumatized 18-year-old girl with knives forms an obsession with pretty men that leads her to have a crush on a marine biologist who is seven years older than her. He keeps trying to let her down gently while she makes felt tip dolls of him.

[metamorphopsia]

So I finally decided on what to add to my crack tag (a quote from this video) but it did give me pretty good ideas on what Legato and Knives would be like when exploring Gunsmoke's depths.

Half laughing at stupid looking creatures they find, half actually trying to scrawl notes with the other biologists they collaborate with to get vessels to these depths.

Most marine life and oceanic flora is too far down (most of the time) for humans to safely get at it so submarines, camera probes and nets/traps that are lowered into the depths are a must. Traps are not usually that sucessful since the deep sea eel colonies often end up attacking or stealing whatever was caught.
