I thought it might be fun to write another story combining Star Wars and Mermaid stuff. This time for Mer-May and May the 4th. I got this wacky idea to write a mermaid fix-it type story where Mara Jade is a magical, force sensitive mermaid who can grant wishes and wants to make Luke's wishes come true lol.

Oh! Look look look! Its so cute and sweet <3.

It's that time of Star Wars Day and Mermay again.

We have a lot of mer!Leia so why not have her (mer)man's turn

[starwarsanthropology]

The tragedy of ur boyfriends not letting u bite them just a little. As a Treat.

A Tup from @trudemaethien’s excellent fic Edeemi, Baby, One More Time that I drew back in May! I didn’t have a Star Wars tumblr at the time and wasnt planning on posting it anywhere so I forgot about it until now, but I had such a fun time playing around with lighting effects and his expression!

I really love their mer universe and I’m especially fond of Tup’s POV in this fic. It’s such a good job of expressing the confusion and frustration of communication barriers and reasonable, best-intent misunderstandings between all of them, while still leaning into the positive aspects of discovering the world and representing it from slightly different perspective than people normally take 10/10 highly recommended

Closeup of the sketch for his expression under the cut because I was super happy with it

StarkerFestival's Extended AUpril!!

Hello everyone! Thank you to all the participants that joined us for our Valentine's Day exchange! We still have a few posts we're waiting on to close the event and once we have everything collected, we'll have a master post for the gifts.

Meanwhile– Us mods are extremely excited to announce our newest event! We are calling it Extended AUpril, and I believe we may have done something similar in the past.

For AUpril, we have made 2 community 4x4 bingos. The bingos will last all three months, and are light and dark themed. (Note: The prompts are themed this way. You do not have to do angst for dark prompts and fluff for light prompts. Feel free to be as creative as you want!)

Duration: This event will start today and last until the end of May.

Reminder: There is no obligation for these community bingos. Do them all, do exactly one prompt--it's completely up to you! Just make sure to tag properly.

Other Events:

March - There will be a list of 7 prompts dedicated to Omegaverse week (info post will be tomorrow). While it is a 'week,' this event will last the entire month of March.

Edit: This event is now live Here!

May - Mer-May week to be posted in May! Again, although it is a week's worth of themed prompts, it will last the entire month of May.

Below the cut are the written versions of the prompts.

Extra rules:

In order to get it reblogged, please @ us here, and feel free to use these hashtags! #StarkerFestivalsEvents , #SFAUpril24.

Crossovers are allowed and welcome for all prompts! Some of the prompts themselves are cross over prompts, please feel free to do so!

Edit: 1 prompt per content created. Multichapter fics can claim 1 prompt/chapter. Ex: One shot and moodboard = may claim up to 2 prompts)

You only have to complete one card to get a 'bingo.' We only separated the light and dark prompts for people who prefer to avoid angst! A bingo is four in a row for this event, meaning horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.

Tag every trigger appropriately, as always.

Have fun with it! This is to encourage AUs, not any specific prompts. Feel free to take it in any direction you want to.

Happy AUpril everyone!

Omega and Batcher in my merfold au for mermay :))))

[moodcrab]

Sheogorath IS Lorkhan!!!

My take on the creation of Mundus goes like this. Lorkhan god of space wishes to create the physical realm Mundus.

Why? Because his fellow Et'Ada may all be powerful gods but with nothing to do they would remain big balls of untapped potential for eternity. In other words, what use is space to grow with no limitations from which to break through? Or bounce off of? You can't build muscle without resistance. You'll never fulfill your potential if there's no motivation to do so. Take Arkay, a god like any other but with no mortals to live and die, no souls to psychopomp, what is he for?

So Lorkhan decides to create Mundus by playing a trick on some of his fellow Et'Ada, while recruiting others to help him play the trick. Those he tricked would one day become the Aedra, Magna Ge and the Earth Bones. Those he recruited, as well as those who refused to take part one way or the other, would become the Daedra.

But part of Lorkhan's plan was its failure. He intended to get caught last minute, and at the moment of Convention Magnus and his followers fled Mundus creating the sun and stars, while the Trinimac and the Aedra ripped Lorkhan apart, his broken body created the moons, his heart was launched into the sea where it would create Red Mountain and eventually the Numidium, and his soul was shattered throughout time and space to wander Nirn as the Shezzarine. This is when the Deadra who didn't follow Lorkhan saw their opportunity, and attacked. Jyggalag, the mind of Lorkhan that sought to bring order to this crazy universe, was driven mad and cursed to live as Sheogorath.

In short, Mankar Camoran was right. So where's my proof?

Let's start with linguistics. The Bretons are man-mer, one foot in both sides of the Ehlnofey schism. They have the merish view of Lorkhan as this devilish trickster god, but they call him Sheor, like his manish name Shor.

Shor - Sheor - Sheogorath

Lorkhan is also known as Shezarr, the missing god of the Cyrodiilic pantheon. That Lorkhan shaped hole keeps getting filled with gods of war/ spirits of the endeavours of man. One such god was Ebonarm, sworn enemy of all Daedra, with the notable exception of Sheogorath. Why is that? Perhaps Ebonarm sought vengeance for Lorkhan's betrayal, which Sheogorath is not only innocent but one of the victims?

How about that guy you meet in The Shivering Isles, Dyus of Mytheria? He is the one thing of Jyggalag's world that Sheogorath refuses to destroy after returning from the Greymarch; his librarian. The keeper of the knowledge of CREATION ITSELF! Not only is Sheogorath unable to bring himself to destroy Dyus, he keeps him immortal and imprisoned in the library.

"As the Great Library, it once contained all the knowledge in creation. However, spare me your grief. My imprisonment is as meaningless as my immortality. Time and place are nothing. Constructs of a feeble mortal mind attempting to categorize and understand the world around it. If you were one of the fortunate few, you would one day understand and accept this. However, you are not and you will not."

"Contained within its walls were the logical prediction of every action ever taken by any creature, mortal or Daedric. Every birth. Every death. The rise of Tiber Septim. The Numidium. Everything. All predicted with the formulae found within Jyggalag's library."

It's interesting he uses both Tiber Septim (Talos) and Numidium as examples as both are examples of those Lorkhan shaped gods filling the Shezarr hole, and both use the heart of Lorkhan/Mantella to achieve divine power. So Jyggalag/Sheogorath hold the knowledge of creation, which they would know because they are manifestations of the mind of the creator Lorkhan.

Mankar Camoran believed that Mundus was a realm of Oblivion as Lorkhan was a Daedric Prince (Jyggalag??), so Dagon has every right to inherit it. This can easily be written off as an excuse to dominate the mortal plain, but if my theory is right then this belief is a legitimate way of interpreting it. If Mehrunes Dagon was one of Lorkhan's loyal recruits he might want to conquer what he sees as his inheritance.

"How little you understand! You cannot stop Lord Dagon. The Principalities have sparkled as gems in the black reaches of Oblivion since the First Morning. Many are their names and the names of their masters: the Coldharbour of Meridia, Peryite's Quagmire, the ten Moonshadows of Mephala, and... and Dawn's Beauty, the Princedom of Lorkhan... misnamed 'Tamriel' by deluded mortals."

"Yes, you understand now. Tamriel is just one more Daedric realm of Oblivion, long since lost to its Prince when he was betrayed by those that served him. Lord Dagon cannot invade Tamriel, his birthright! He comes to liberate the Occupied Lands!"

Consider Boethiah. If Lorkhan was plotting against the other Et'Ada who would make a better ally than the Prince of plots? Consider what she did to Trinimac, the Aedra that "killed" Lorkhan. She not only humiliated him in battle, she ate and excreted him as Malacath. In doing so she transformed his followers into the Orcs. She exposed the grandest Aedroth knight to be just the same as the Daedra, using Mundus as a playground and mortals as toys, and she turned his merish followers into ugly brutes, exactly what the mer accuse men of being. And she did so in the service of the Chimer, leading more elves away from their "ancestors". I mean, she could have just killed him... But she chose to destroy what he was. Strip away his pretensions. It just feels personal. Vengeful.

Consider also that Boethiah is almost certainly the Night Mother of the Dark Brotherhood. Think about it. Why would Sithis care about contract murder in Tamriel? He is the void. Boethiah on the other hand is all about sneaking around plotting to murder people, and tricking a bunch of goths into worshipping the wrong god. Using the corpse of some poor Bravil girl she has made a cult to Lorkhan, who is a being of Sithis. Ever wonder why the statue of Sithis in Oblivion is of a man with his heart ripped out? Remind you of anyone?

But it's just a theory. It gets crazier when you accept that Lorkhan and Akatosh are the same person. But that's a rambling theory for another blog.

Mer-May IV 04: Shaak Ti

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

tuesday again 1/23/2024

listen i got my last job through one of youse on here so weirder things have happened: i got fired bc the nonprofit wasn’t doing so hot. let me know if you have a weird data/database or market/tech research job. i promise my worksona is so so so nice and pleasant to work with. remote only, looking more in the $75k range but can be a bit flexible if it’s a cool enough job, i am in the central time zone of the USA and will not need sponsorship anywhere but DO need the cadillac of healthcare and dental plans. portfolio, publication list, and linkedin with my government name available on request!

listening

both of these are from my sister! this is another FULL ALBUM rec (good lord). The Offline’s album La couleur de la mer is a soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist, inspired by his long walks in the fog on the French Atlantic coast. a little spacey, a little soul, very sixties/seventies neonoir. i am quite fond of the very first track, Thème de la couleur de la mer.

she’s also sent me a bunch of tiktoks with Perfect (Exceeder) by Mason and Princess Superstar. hell of a goddamn music video for this thing. mid-aughts clubbing music at its finest. stopped me from dissolving into a puddle of emotions on the way to and from the vet today bc it’s too goddamn bouncy to be sad around

reading

im reading a trilogy i want to discuss as a whole whenever the third one comes through as a library hold, and a book by a friend. i do not typically talk about books or fics by friends here bc none of them have ever asked for critique, and i dont want to play favorites or inadvertently miss someone’s work. so here’s a story about porn on Wikimedia, which is the kind of database drama and technical arguments that fascinate me.

given the number of articles from 404 Media i shout about here and elsewhere i really should sign up for their $5/mo subscription tier when i have a steady income again

watching

somehow missed Star Wars Visions 2, their second anthology of weird little shorts. i was not super impressed by the overall storytelling this time around, but it was fun to see them reach out to more global studios and see a wider range of styles. there’s some goddamn incredible stop motion in here.

i particularly enjoyed Journey to the Dark Head, which not only has some interesting fringe Force believers and beliefs but has one of the sickest anime bullshit lightsaber fights in this season. this one is by Studio Mir, most known for the Legend of Korra.

also really liked The Spy Dancer by Studio La Cachette, partly bc it’s incredibly beautiful and i like when Star Wars leans into art nouveau, and partly bc it felt the most like a complete short story. emotional arc and everything! strong beginning middle and end! this IS a really low bar, but a lot of the shorts this season did not have a coherent little story to tell or a strong emotional arc, or fumbled their arc partway through, and were just kind of vibes and animation showcases? nothing necessarily wrong with that, also how i felt about most of the last collection. my expectations are underground for any Star Wars media.

playing

as is tradition i dithered about this section the most. this is more of a What’s Next? planning ramble.

the laptop gets shipped back to my old job today so i will no longer have a working modern computer. i have to dig the switch out and see what’s up. maybe start a whole new run in breath of the wild or whatever the last pokemon game was. i think i also have the sword boyfriend game everyone was up in arms about two years ago? and i think i am somehow part of a switch family plan that lets me have some older games?

this section may look very different in the next ??? amount of time until i get a company laptop again. or finally replace the motherboard on my personal desktop but that sat in my car for several weeks during the heat wave this summer while i did not have an apartment and i am really REALLY afraid to open that box.

oh the free epic game this week is a platformer, a genre i have historically not cared about. godspeed to those of you who do

making

soup bc aldi had alphabet pasta and that jolted me out of myself for long enough i was briefly convinced making alphabet pasta soup would fix me. so i found this recipe while in aldi. despite this not being a very good soup or a very good recipe, i feel a little triumphant bc i now know enough to brown the tomato paste before putting it in the soup. unfortunately i overcooked the pasta. there’s kind of a lot of texture happening here, and i wish i had chopped things finer, but i will probably steal my best friend’s blender tomorrow and blitz some of it down.

it’s edible. im going to eat it all. it will not be going in the rotation

Day 23: Understatement

Pairing: Mer Mayday x Ice Dragon Reader

Summary: After coming out of stasis, you meet an exhausted commander.

Author’s Note: Crosshair in this AU went with the Bad Batch at the end of season one. So there is a reason he’s not here.

Warnings: Minor Violence. Death. One we don’t care about and two are clones. I’m sorry about the clones. May they rest in peace.

Word Count: 1258

Prompt: They say it’s lifeless, the frozen sea our frozen world is built on. But where the ice is thinnest and most dangerous, I have seen a light, faint and flickering, a cold and distant star.

Prompt 2973 by deepwaterwritingprompts

You had been asleep for a very long time. A couple millennia even. Most sea dragons had fallen into a deep slumber after the Mer Wars. The Sea Alor of the time had said to sleep after all the sea dragons had sacrificed; we deserved to rest.

However, the Mer forgot about you and the rest of your kind. Most turned to stone over the years and fell apart, never to awaken again. As you awoke, you realize that there is only one other of your kind left; their magic can barely be felt in a deep ocean fissure far away.

“Ice dragon.” You gently lift your head. “You are needed for the fight ahead. Return to Mandalore.” You slowly begin to stretch out your atrophied muscles; the call of the Sea Alor was not to be ignored.

“It will take me time, but there I shall be.” You recieve a gruff, but understanding humm in reply before the connection is severed. You turn your head up to the icy bay and begin swimming up.

Mayday hates having to keep the bay clear of thicker ice. Did he hate everything about this island he was stuck on? Absolutely. But this specific chore has a special amount of hatred attached to it. Sadly, if what remains of his men were going to get off this frozen rock, the bay has to allow a ship to get to the dock.

They didn’t have any ice or water manipulators so that just left breaking the ice with tools; their increased strength and durability as Mer being the only thing making the job possible. Also didn’t help that Veetch had to keep an eye on the perimeter so it left him and Hexx to do this chore by themselves every other day.

Mayday suddenly stops when he hears the ice creak beneath him; he’s come to a thin section. He slowly gets down on his knees and looks for something he has glimpsed only a few times. They say it’s lifeless, the frozen sea this frozen island is built on. But where the ice is thinnest and most dangerous, he has seen a light, faint and flickering, a cold and distant star. He has thought many times about swimming down in mer form to see what it is, but logic always reminds him that he would freeze to death before he got anywhere close.

While he finds the light again, he is more than suprised to see it getting closer. His heart is in his throat when he is able to see what it actually is. What you actually are.

“They’re extinct.” Mayday can’t believe his eyes even as you turn to look at him. You linger just under the frozen top of the bay.

“Move.” You warn tiredly. “I don’t want you to fall in, Mer.” He doesn’t need to be told twice and scrambles back. Once you see he’s at safe enough a distance, you ram your head through and pull yourself out onto the ice. You flop down, completely spent.

“Are they awake yet?” You groggily sit up in someplace warm at the sound. You rub your eyes; one would think staying awake after being in magical stasis so long would be easier than this.

Finally, you look down at yourself and almost jump in surprise. You’re in human form. Stars, you forgot you could even take this form when you needed to conserve magic.

“Good morning.” The bearded Mer hands you a cup with something steaming inside and you slowly take it. The other two Mer, who look identical to him, linger in the background. Your eyes linger on the sad shape of their armor for only a moment, not wanting to offend. It occurrs to you that he sounds far too much like the Sea Alor who summoned you, but you decide that’s not important at this precise moment.

“Than- Thank you.” You stumble out, far too annoyed with how your muscles in this body rebel just as much as the one’s in your true form did.

“You’re welcome.” His smile makes you pause; it’s kind, but his face looks like it hasn’t made that expression in a long time. “Now what is a dragon doing on Barton IV?”

You remain with them almost a month as you regain your strength. You grow quite close with the three men as they share what is currently going on in the outside world. Or at least up till a little over a year ago when they were stranded out here. You more than earn your keep in turn by scaring and fighting off the raiders while the three work on the base.

In fact, you are almost at full power when a squad from the empire you’ve heard so much about shows up. Mayday sneaks you out to the nearby mountains and you watch the base from a distance. You should go to Mandalore now, but you can’t in good conscience leave them here after they helped you.

To say you are viciously angry when you feel Hexx and Veetch die is an understatement. It only grows when you meet Mayday as he leaves the base; apparently he’s being sent on a suicide mission after the raiders.

“Are you certain you don’t want me to obliterate that base?” You hiss as you shake with rage. You can see his eyes soften though his t-face helmet; his mouth is covered with a rag in an attempt to stay warm.

“As tempting as that is, cyare. I do actually want to get revenge on those raiders.” You nod before following him through the passage the raiders were using. “Besides, just the Lieutenant would be perfect if you don’t mind.”

You let out a snicker in repose and you thread his fingers through yours. He gives you a squeeze in response, but continues to look forward.

This Mer has been good to you when he did not have to be. You weren’t going to let anything happen to him.

Once you are both on the other side, you shift into your dragon form. You keep them distracted while he grabs the stolen goods. It is nice to finally be rid of them when the fight is over, but nothing prepares you for finally seeing what the stolen cargo actually is. It was knocked over in the last of the fight and brand new T-K Trooper armor stares up at you and Mayday.

“We were good soldiers. We followed orders. And for what?” It lingers in the frozen air after he says it. There isn’t any comfort you can think to give. It’s just cruel and wrong.

Then the ground begins to shake, precursing an avalanche. You’re up in the air with Mayday in one of your claws within seconds. You call for him to climb up and slow down for him to do so. You feel him cling to the juncher between your neck and wings as you fly through the cold cloudy sky. He sits up straighter, staring in awe as you soar past a black ice vulture.

“Let’s go kill that lieutenant.” You turn your head just enough to see him smile as you say that; the rag covering his lower face having been pushed down by the wind.

“I think I might love you.” A joyful laugh rumbles through you at that.

“And I you, Commander.” To say there was nothing left of Lieutenant Nolan by the time you and Mayday left Barton IV would have been an understatement.
