Unnamed grandfather (deceased)

Sister: Mei (deceased)

Unnamed mother and father (deceased)

Several unnamed siblings and cousins (deceased)

Preferences:

Hobbies: Reading, gardening

Likes: Cooking, music, puzzles, learning new things

Dislikes: Tight spaces, large crowds, the more human appearing mers

Favourite food: Clam Chowder

Least favourite food: Triggerfish

Appearance:

Silas has amthyst eyes and long, curly dark purple hair and beard. His skin, scales, and tail are dark purple with peculiar black markings in some places, and his enture body is riddled with scar tissue. His fins are full of holes and tears. His claws are long, sharp, and black. His teeth are long and sharp and scary. He has visible stretch marks, and he's (finally) starting to get a bit chubby.

Silas has a band of black scales around his neck, and from just below that all the way to his navel are photophores that glow in the dark, which helps him camouflage and can even make him look like a school of fish from below.

Obviously, as a mer, he doesn't wear clothes, but he does wear both his and his husband's courting gifts to each other: necklaces of orca teeth and shell, each has a volute and skeletal murex shell respectively. He wears a ribcage around part of his tail as decor. Sometimes he wears his wedding jewellery as well.

Personality:

Silas is a gruff, quiet, and serious man with a bit of a sadistic streak. He does have a general no-nonsense attitude, but he is very warm and loving to Finn (and later on Chrysos) and does his best to raise Finn with the love and support he needs. He wants Finn to make friends and is the one who encouraged him to go to NRC in the first place. He's very protective and is aggressive on rare occasions (unlike when he was younger). He's clever and is prone to sarcastic or dry humour. Don't be fooled, he's quite kind when he wants to be, just few get to see it.

Some Fun Facts/Extra Info:

•Silas supplies Mrs Ashengrotto (and later on Azul) with fish along with other meats for her restaurant

•He has a deal with the tweels' parents in which he disposes of their unwanted "prey" (cough enemies cough) in return for their protection

•He is a very powerful sorcerer that is well versed in Abyssal magic

•He can see Finn's siblings as well and doesn't know what to do about them. He wishes they didn't scare Finn so much

•Azul is quite intimidated by him, lol

•Silas likes the octotrio and considers them a good match for Finn

•He allows older teens looking for extra income to work for him part-time

•He's got a soft spot for kids (teens count as kids too to him)

Some art of him I did (click to show) I had to trace the body and face for the one on the left lol

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤

thank you for thinking of me as a favorite author you'd want to pass this on to <3

right now, i'd probably say the fics that i'm most pleased with are (not in any order outside of "what was published most recently") -

stuffed with fluff (and blood and bones and rage) in which bingge is forced to watch without doing anything as sy critiques and obsesses over his life, eventually becoming obsessed with sy's own obsession of him. i struggle a lot with lbh POVs, and right now, i think this is the best one i've done, so i'm happy :>

raised by winter winds in which a sy that was half-raised by sj grapples with the past affection he's felt for sj pitted against the knowledge that sj has hurt a lot of people, including sy's new favorite manipulative little shidi, lbh. in the past, i've not really bothered to put much effort into writing sj tbh - i've used him as a convenient plot point in binggeyuan's relationship before, but that's about it. this fic i considered it more seriously, and i think sums up all my feelings about sj as a character quite nicely. i ended up rly liking the overall melancholy tone of this fic too :')

if you don't have your own boyfriend, rented is fine in which bingge reverse transmigrates to chase after the "nice" shizun he met... but doesn't recognize sy for who he is, and the misunderstanding is only made worse when sy mistakes bingge for a cosplayer. neither of them realize the truth of the matter until they've grown to care for each other and choose each other regardless. ik that probably no one wants to hear this, but i don't really like "to love another (and to learn yourself)" much anymore 🙈 it's been years since i wrote it, and since then both my writing style and preferences for how binggeyuan are characterized have shifted fairly dramatically. this rent a bingge fic was really satisfying to write as proof to myself that i can write a "bingge finds his own sy" longfic in a way that i do like, now.

i'll be your boy backstage in which a transmigrated-into-an-NPC shen yuan only finds bingge long after the story is over, and after the ge vs mei extra has happened. bingge latches on to sy quickly, but even after he figures it out, sy has very different expectations for what a relationship might look like. the conversation at the end of this fic where sy tries to work through his asexuality with bingge was very cathartic for me. i'd love to one day do a much longer fic in which bingge, who has been taught his whole life that love is expressed through sex, falls for ace!sy and struggles with it. i think it would have to be bingge's pov to be most impactful, though, so i've been putting it off >.>;;

shallow water weather in which mer!binghe joins mer!shen yuan's pod, and as soon as he knows sy has the capacity to genuinely care for him, skips straight from "unfriendly acquaintance" to "courtship partner." i'm a really big fan of creature AUs in which the characters' behaviors are influenced a lot by creature instincts and behavior, so all the mer behavior in this one is super self indulgent hehe

...it's perhaps not a surprise that most of my self favorites are the most recent ones i've written. every step you take is an improvement, etc etc. anyway, thank you again for thinking of me when you sent this ask in, and i apologize for how long it took me to get to it!

[wizardandpirate]

Woohoo finally made some art and I'm only... *checks date* 11 days late to mermay!! Im good at this.

Anyways, here is littol mer traffic light trio just nappin' :3

Mei is based off of a seahorse but the others aren't anything in particular. Also fluffy mer MK!!!! Had some trouble with Red Son's hair, it looks stiff. They are underwater in this art, however I decided Red Son deserved a water proof pillow. The other two don't really get it, but he's fun to nap on so they don't mention how odd they find the concept of a pillow. In this one Mei and Red Son passed out while playing, but MK remembered how much Red Son loves his pillow and put it there for him before taking a nap with them:3 they just sat down on that for a brief break and then passed right on out.

Probably gonna draw lore of these little dudes later if I have the time, and if I do I'll fix up Red Son's design more. It was trouble translating his clothes into body parts, but I think I know how to fix it up in the future, just not while he's laying down. I'll reblog this with some lore attached later^^

Scrisoare pentru viitor

Te-ai gândit vreodată că anul nu are cum să fie bun sau rău, ci doar așa cum ți-l faci?

Într-un final nu suntem decât suma alegerilor noastre, iar aceste alegeri ne umple viața de culoare sau de un doliu proeminent. Însă prin acestea, ne maturizăm...sau cel puțin așa continui să mă mint.

Anul meu nu a fost nici bun, nici rău. A fost exact așa cum am ales să fie. Poate nu am trăit cu adevărat decât o zi, deoarece alegerile mele atât mi-au permis. Iar în acea zi de viață, ați trăit și voi cu mine și vă mulțumesc.

În acest an ați avut grijă să înțeleg ce înseamnă prietenia, iubirea și dezamăgirea. M-ați văzut înflorind, iar mai mult sau mai puțin ofilindu-mă. Mi-ați fost aproape și ați avut grijă de mine. Sper din suflet că am reușit, asemeni vouă, să am grijă de voi și să vă fiu alături, căci știți bine că sunt mămica grupului și încerc să am grijă de copiii mei. ❤️

Prietenia: aceasta odată ce se naște, rămâne mereu vie în viețile noastre. Se poate opri pentru o perioadă, însă să fie reluată din același punct precum separarea să nu fi existat. Ni s-a întâmplat și nouă. M-am simțit singură o perioadă, chiar părăsită și a durut. Însă priveam totul din perspectiva mea, neînțelegând-o pe a ta. După un timp, am înțeles-o. Vreau să știi că nu te-am judecat, din perspectiva mea, niciodată. Îți mulțumesc că ești prietena mea.

Am mers mereu spre tine cu dramele mele, iar tu m-ai ascultat, deși aveai nevoie să fii tu cea ascultată. Ai trecut prin multe anul acesta și îmi cer scuze că nu am făcut mai mult să-ți fiu alături.

Iubirea: mi-e teamă că nu am să înțeleg vreodată adevăratul sens al acestui cuvânt. Însă am ajuns la concluzia că doar toxicitatea mă face să mă îndrăgostesc obsesiv – anul acesta n-a fost nimic obsesiv, poate doar felul în care ascultam vreo melodie care-mi plăcea. Nu am să adresez prea multe cuvinte, am înțeles, totodată, că există doar aparențe, iar în spatele acestora e un zid pe care scrie   

„i n t e r z i s   v i z i t a t o r i l o r”.

Dezamăgire: am făcut un clasament în ceea ce privesc persoanele care m-au dezamăgit: eu locul 1, iar tu 2. Tu ai avut cea mai mică implicație, anume absurditatea ta de-a nu-mi spune nu, și meriți să fii exclus. Iar eu m-am dezamăgit lăsându-mă să aștept în zadar. Am lăsat emoțiile să mă copleșească. Am insistat în mai multe aspecte și în toate am dat-o în bară: scrierea volumului 2, încercarea de-a publica volumul 1 - ideea de-a fi scriitoare și, poate, chiar în legătură cu tine.

A fost un an din câți mai urmează, dar, repet, mulțumesc că ați trăit o zi cu mine.

Y'all...

Uke 15: Nytt skoleår, ny klasse, nye muligheter?

Etter noe som føltes alt for kort ut til å kalle en ferie, begynte skolen på igjen på mandagen. Fikk nesten ikke sove noe dagen før, for var så spent på den nye klassen jeg skulle få. Vil jeg komme i samme klasse med noen fra den gamle klassen? Eller vil jeg komme i en klasse med bare nye fjes? Prøvde å ikke tenke for mye på det, for det ville ikke endret noe uansett.

Da jeg fikk vite hvem som var i den nye klassen, var jeg både glad og trist på samme tid. Jeg var glad for at Mei-Chan fra gamle klassen fulgte meg videre i den nye, og for at Yukki fra tennis var i samme klasse. På den andre siden var det trist å ta farvel med Yuna og Marika som jeg dro til Yomiuriland sammen med. Vi har ikke noen felles timer sammen, så at vi ikke kom i samme klasse vil bety at vi ikke kommer til å krysse hverandre så mye på skolen lenger, utenom da vi ellers møtes i gangen for å bytte time eller bare tilfeldigvis. Så klart det er trist, men kan ikke gjøre så mye med det. For bare håpe på at de vil finne på noe med meg i ny og ned, utenom skoletiden.

Fikk andreplass på Engelsk lyttetest. Den var faktisk veldig vanskelig, spesielt der lydfilen bare spilles av én gang, og du fortsatt sitter igjen på det forrige spørsmålet mens den nye spilles av. Allikevel hadde jeg lykken med meg, selv om jeg ikke klarte å slå Alesia med hun og hennes full score.

Når jeg skriver dette har det jo egentlig godt nokså én uke siden skolen begynte på igjen. Tenke jeg skulle deler mine tanker om den nye klassen. Skal jeg være helt ærlig så var det ingenting å bekymre seg om i det hele tatt. Heller motsatt, jeg kom faktisk til å like den nye klassen bedre enn den forrige, og jeg har jo bare vært i den nye klassen i en drøy uke. Det er kanskje fordi at alle i den nye klassen er ikke kjent med hverandre fra før av, så det er ikke dannet så mange grupper og slikt enda. Føler også på at den nye klassen er litt mer avslappet enn den forrige, siden forrige klasse var jo klasse 2-1, der de smarte elevene oppholder seg i. Nå går jeg i klasse 3-4.

Har til og med snakket litt med guttene også, som for eksempel snille Nabeken som sitter foran meg, pluss Shige som jeg kom i samme gruppe med da vi spilte badminton. En annen positiv ting er at jeg sitter bakerst i klasserommet igjen! <3 Tror jeg skal komme til å få en god tid de siste tre månedene jeg har igjen her. I japan.

Tennis treneren som kommer innom av og til ga oss dango på mandagen.

Hadde ikke skole eller klubb på Tirsdagen, som betyr at jeg har tid til å finne på noe med Hotaru. Dro han med ut på karaoke og kattekafe da han kom hjem igjen fra skolen.

Har tatt ett veldig stort valg igjen. I juli så holdes testen som jeg ville ta; JLTP (Japanese-language Proficiency test, men påmeldingen til den avsluttet torsdagen denne uken. Jeg har brukt mye tid på å tenkte over hvilket nivå jeg vil ta, siden det er 5 stykker. JLPT N5 er den enkleste, mens JLPT N1 er den vanskeligste. Mitt nivå er nok mellom JLPT N3 og N2, så læreren min fra Japansk klassen sa til meg at jeg mest sannsynlig ville bestå JLPT N3 med en ganske grei poengsum om jeg tok den. Hun sa også til meg at om jeg ville satse høyere kunne jeg prøve å ta N2, men med de prøve eksamene vi har tatt i timene så var det 50 prosent sjanse for godkjent bestått.

Etter vi vandring fram og tilbake om hvilket nivå jeg skulle velge, så endte det opp på N2. Hvorfor? jeg ville ha noe å strekke meg etter, så velger helder ett nivå høyere enn det som er trygt for meg her og nå. Ved at jeg valgte N2 istedenfor N3, vil bety at jeg MÅ gjøre en stor innsats fremover for å i det hele tatt ha en sjanse til å bestå. Bare tenk! om jeg skal være så heldig å bestå vil det gi meg muligheten til å få meg jobb her i Japan, men min grunn er heller bare det at jeg vil ha det på CVen min. Ville ikke det ha vært veldig kult å skryte om?

Neida, den største grunnen til at jeg valgte N2 er fordi jeg ikke bryr meg så mye om resultatet, men heller om selvforbedring i språket. Det kommer som en selvfølge at en forbedrer seg mer ved å satse høyt enn lavt tror jeg.

Ut med TottoChan på torsdagen for å spise soba før Hippo.

Summary: A little snippet of Silas as a young child. He sees something in the distance one night.

(Pls reblog and leave a comment ❤️)

Hush

Something wasn't right. The atmosphere was tense, filled with a sense of wrongness.

Silas sat on his rock and stared at his mother, watching silently as she out the mouth of the cave, fins twitching.

She seemed more on edge than usual. Almost afraid. That couldn't be right, no, his mother was never afraid.

Silas followed her gaze, staring into the expanse of black waiting just outside. There was nothing. Just an endless void. No flicker of light, no glimmer of life.

His mother didn't say a word. She rarely did. She simply turned around and swam further into the cave.

The cave was tiny. Cramped. Not big enough to hold a dozen sharks. They were were all pressed into the back, curling and coiling around each other like a jellyfish bloom.

Silas wondered what his mother was looking for. Maybe it was his older cousins? They left to find food four days ago and hadn't come back yet.

Silas turned to Mei to ask her what she thought, only to find her already asleep. His twin sister had curled her frail, skeletal body into a tight ball, holding her tail for comfort. She always slept easier than him, perfectly content to settle down on the kelp laid across the rock for them.

Silas glanced behind him. Several pairs of eyes belonging to his father, grandparents, and aunts uncles gazed at his mother. Wide. Questioning.

She nodded her head and placed a finger to her lips. Hush. Silas bit his lip to stop himself from asking what was going on.

His mother then squished herself against his father and curled her tail around the rock. Bedtime.

Silas stared at her. She stared back. Silas put his head down and tried to sleep.

***

Silas woke up suddenly. He didn't know why. No one was attacking them. It wasn't time to eat either. Everyone else was asleep, bunched together in a tangle of fins and tails. Mei was still curled up next to him, her breathing weak and rattle-y.

Silas looked towards the mouth of the cave and his mouth went dry.

There was something out there. It was white, a beacon in the dark. Silas' poor eyes couldn't really focus on it. It seemed.... vaguely mer shaped.

It didn't seem to be going in a particular direction, whatever it was. It was pulled to and fro by the current, making it look like it was wriggling oddly in the water.

Silas couldn't pull his gaze away. An all-consuming sentseof dread and the looming feeling that had made a mistake settled over him.

He opened his mouth, whether to call out or to scream, he didn't know, but he was stopped short by a hand clamping over his mouth.

His eyes widened in sudden terror, and he twisted around to find his mother looking down at him with narrowed eyes. She gently cupped his small body in her free hand, jade green eyes shining with a mix of anger and fear.

Fear. Silas had never seen his mother afraid.

He turned to look out the cave again. That thing was still there. Wriggling. Somehow, deep down, he knew it wasn't natural. It disturbed him.

They stayed like that for hours, seemingly frozen. His mother didn't release her hold, and Silas didn't dare make so much as a peep.

Then, the thing disappeared. It was there, and then it wasn't. Almost immediately, the heaviness in the air lifted. The atmosphere became less oppressive. Even the endless void seemed less black.

Silas looked at his mother. His mother looked at him. After a long stretch of silent staring, she eventually released her hold, and shook her head.

"Not a word, Silas." Was all she said.

-End
