#mermaid teru au

[mari-lair]

sorry it's not a wip game ask,, but I'm interested: was the idea of mermaid teru learning human language with ease based on the fact that teru is canonically good at english (which is especially hard for japanese native speakers) or is it just a fun coincidence? I just adore that fact and so it caught my attention in the fic!

It was a fun coincidence! :D

Which is wild cause I was searching where the 'Teru is good at english' info comes from and it is from chapter 59. One of the chapters I re-read the most.

So there is a non zero chance that the gut feeling I had that "Teru would be good at learning other languages" was less based on vibes than I assumed and more of an "i forgot i read this but still internalized the information" case.

I don't know for sure though, I'll still consider it a coincidence since it was more of a stumble than a planned move. Thank you for letting me know Anon, I now feel a new level of fondness for fish Teru.

[irradiatedsnakes]

happy mermay. and this guy

bonus alt teru and tome below

the maskray design is really cool but i like common dolphin for him much more thematically. also i just like cetaceans a lot. and for tome i couldnt choose between her being a human interested in finding undersea intelligence (really into those studies about octopus problem solving and dolphin language) or drawing her as a cool cephalopod so iiii just did both.

this isnt an Actual au i dont have a story or a setting or even Mermaid Lore i just like to draw fish people. you know how it is

Mob Psycho 100: Mermaid AU because I'm insane

Mob and Ritsu are angel sharks. Many marmaids have esper powers and differ in size.

Still thinking about character designs for the others, the plot have a lot in common with the canon (especially the ???% arc) but instead of Tsubomi it's Teru.

[hanakou-often]

12. Swap au?

AU where Kou becomes the seventh mystery and Amane becomes his assistant (In retrospect his assistant probably should’ve been Mitsuba but I was on a Hanakou ROLL)!! I enjoy this concept a lot but I'll admit its not the most thought out idea so don't expect much lmao

Kou is now Number 7 of the roof top: Nariko-San! Hanako said not many people know how to summon him but I think it’s pretty lame excuse? I mean if getting a wish granted was as easy as knocking on a bathroom door I feel like way more people would do it yk!! The more powerful the apparition, the harder it should be to summon. So to up the ante, Nariko’s rumor is ‘if you go out on the roof top on a rainy day and lean over the railing while chanting ‘Nariko-San, Nariko-San, save me' She just might make your wish come true' and of course the "price to pay" here is the risk of losing your life yk

Amane is crazy enough to be the first to summon him. His wish is something along the lines of him wanting to ‘live among the stars' or something equally as emo and blah blah when he finally summons him, Nariko appears in a streak of lightning and instantly pulls Amane back in. Amane expected a more grim figure with a matching God-like disposition but Nariko shows immediate concern, dispelling any previous expectations.

I'm not exactly sure how or why but eventually instead of a mermaid scale Amane swallows a bird feather? He turns into an owl and Nariko has to fight off a harpy, stating those are "angels" who use avian creatures as their 'eyes'. When the harpy is finally gone, Nariko eats the other feather and makes Amane promise not to randomly fly off and leave (because people care about him yadda yadda). Now anytime Amane gets flustered/agitated or sneezes, he turns into his owl form.

Teru is Nariko’s Tsukasa so to speak. His personality is sort similar mother Gothel from Tangled where he's more emotionally manipulative than violent/extreme like Tsukasa. Anyways Tiara grows up without her siblings. One of the only things I’ve written for this AU is Nariko grappling with that guilt so stay tuned for that <3

I’ll be so honest I was only here to max out on the shipping potential so I didn’t think about other characters' roles though too much lol. I've been aching to write the beginnings of this au so I can cash in on the weird Teru and Nariko dynamic later but as you can tell my ideas are a little scatterbrained with some bits of info missing here and there.

[snowiwyvern]

this is originally a post i made in a community, so im just gonna repost it here yay

bored af in the car, time to infodump about a swap au that ive been rotating in my brain

ive done a good amount of thinking about this and this is like... my second time writing anything down about it :333

this post is going to be about the broadcasting club and toilet trio! theyre more shuffled around rather than directly swapped tbh

btw pit god likes men in this au instead of women like canon

toilet trio (og bc)

tsukasa, aka hanako: swapped with amane! he tries holding back a lot of his more violent tendencies, and is pretty tight-lipped about his past. instead of amane killing him, he killed amane (beat him to death with his bare hands as self-defense and went a bit too far, for now). never became besties with the pit god, was just a bit violent because he never really got the whole hitting people hurts thing for a while, and tends to let off his violence on troublesome supernaturals instead of people he cares about now. still has some troubles with getting violent with people but hes trying his best ok

natsuhiko: taking on the role of nene! made a deal with tsukasa to get sakuras love, and kinda went through nenes whole arc. after that, he dedicated himself to sakura and winning her love the old fashioned way. not too much about him, but he isnt cursed to be immortal anymore! just cursed in a completely different way, through the blood of some poisonous supernatural i havent figured out yet that hes sharing with tsukasa. if he didnt share it he would turn into another of those supernatural, but he is just poisonous instead so Watch Out

sakura: taking on kou's role! she is a beginner exorcist who is perfectly aware of her abilities. her mentor is also at the school, and is like. making sure she doesnt die immediately. she has the same calm and cool exterior, and it makes others be over confident in her abilities. natsuhiko and tsukasa thinks shes badass and shes like 'relax, ive only been doing this for like a few months' and theyre like 'so humble! shes definitely an expert!' im not sure what weapon she wields and i need to do more research, but off the top of my head im thinking a scythe. shes just that cool

broadcasting club (og tt)

amane: swapped with tsukasa! instead of holding himself back like in canon he does not give two shits here. hes super casual about his past, and is kinda neutral on violence. doesnt hate it, doesnt like it, its just a means to an end. is homies with the pit god, and does stuff it asks. super possessive of people he perceives as his, and kinda ranks them. nene and tsukasa are currently tied in his brain, with kou after. hes scared of the other minamotos so he doesnt fight with them over kou, and just kinda goes >:| and shares him (i will elaborate on those two at some other point)

nene: taking on sakuras role! since we dont know all that much about sakura, this is mostly inspired by nenes stuff and the little mermaid >:3. she was a servant of the mermaid, but ended up running into amane, and begged him to make her humanoid and share her fish curse. he was like ok be my servant tho, and now shes doing the broadcasts and is chilling pretending to be human. avoids the exorcists in the school. she starts crushing on some humans immediately, amane threatens to kill them so she ends up just crushing on teru. wears gloves to hide her hands which are kinda scaley. still sensitive about her legs because a boy said they looked weird and she cried to amane about it. that boy was never seen again and amane started teasing her about the legs she worked so hard for. her mother also misses her dearly (i think the mermaid is one of the few who isnt rlly changed from canon i have no ideas for her)

kou: taking on natsuhikos role! hes a silly little immortal cursed guy, and has been around for a long long time. still kinda shortsighted somehow tho, and doesnt rlly think through a lot of decisions. ended up befriending nene by saving her from a supernatural, and then proceeded to pledge himself to her basically. he has his rateijiou to channel his cursed spirit energy which would literally destroy every human and supernatural in the vicinity if he didnt have it (other minamotos are unaffected because the curse is shared between them). amane hated him at first but wasnt allowed to kill him and they ended up forging a friendship over time. now they are friends and amane gets annoyed by his middle school buddies existing :)

🍉, 🍊, 🍍, 🥝, 🍈, and 🍇, please?

Okay this may need to be the last one I do cuz I am on my phone haha

🍉 Do you prefer to write short fics or long fics? Multichaptered works or single ones? Why?

I’m not sure as I have done both! I do love my current long fic right now but i love writing short ones as well. I think the long fic is fun but it is a lot of work and a little overwhelming. Single chapters are nice tho and I kinda wish i did it more. Just to get the idea out there.

I can only work on one long fic at a time I think….but I may change that soon. I dunno haha

🍊 Who’s a character you don’t write for that often, but keep meaning to write for more? (They’re so interesting! But maybe you have trouble pinning them down, or keep getting distracted by another blorbo…)

Reigen. God he is a character I struggle to write but there is so much meat to him. So much I could explore. I’m finding my way through my Ageswap but it took me awhile to get here.

Reigen makes me….angry sometimes haha so that’s also hard to write him.

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

I’m pretty chill pickle with all AUs. Monster au, mermaid au, Ageswap, space. You name it I’ll be down.

Ofc my fav right now is Ageswap au cuz that’s what I’m writing hahah

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

It’s a hard tie between Teru and Shigeo. But because Teru is more top of mind right now I’ll go with him.

MY fav HC for Teru is….many. So here are a few fun ones:

* he never keeps the same hair forever. But my favorite hairstyle of his, is the side shave. He keeps that for most of his 20s

* Teru loves to cook. He learned how in his late teens after getting way too sick too often when he was a kid living in his own. I think Reigen, Shigeo, Ritsu and Serizawa help him learn how to cook. Once he figures it out teru is all in

* Physical touch is so important for Teru. Him and Shigeo have a lot of past traumas about touch. They work together a lot to find a healthy balance with touch. I think this is platonic or romantic. Teru likely went months without a loving physical touch.

* Teru needs to have control. If he doesn’t he falls apart. There are many times in his life where he won’t ask for help because he needs to be in control. this does not end well.

* Teru has trust issues that he has to spend most of his life working on. He trusts a select few people but would never trust them to take care of him. Teru can take care of himself (he says to himself).

* Teru loves to knit, to create things, to doodle. He likes doing things with his hands.

That’s just a few hahaha

[mitsybubbles]

More Mermaid AU sketches + a redesign of Seri and designs for Mob Ritsu and Teru (mob and Ritsu are amphibious so they can morph back and forth)

[the-terukane-archives]

Merman and marine biologist AU where Akane sees a creature absolutely body an illegal fishing ship and hyperfixates on finding out more about it.

Akane finds Teru fascinating and adores learning about him. He eventually starts crushing on the merman bc he's handsome (pretty fish man makes the brain go brrrrr) and they get along great. Also, Teru gets interested in the things Akane shows him.

With Teru tho, it went like: Teru sees Akane from a distance, finds him pathetic, and decides he must have him. (He's probably mermaid royalty or something)

Idk man I think it's silly :)

omg this is so silly

This oneshot is inspired by ‘Kiss the Girl’ by ‘MusicalMoritz’ on AO3.

Strange Tides

✩︎

As soon as Mitsuba lays his eyes on the curly black haired blasian boy with cat-like but clueless amber eyes, the first thing he thinks is ‘poor guy’. The knights reported to him and his Nobel mother, Fuku/Mitsuba Yumi, that the boy must have lost his memory, and is not able to speak.

The nameless boy wore a button up black pocket patched shirt with black jeans, and Mitsuba wore a long sleeve red shitagi and pink hakama pants. With additional jewelry, like his blue whale right earring and charm bracelet.

Mitsuba couldn’t help but think for a second that those eyes were the same ones he saw the day he was saved by an unknown male. The one with a singing voice dripping honey and flowers, a magnificent sound. The unknown male he’s been trying to find ever since. 

His savior.

But, the boy sitting in front of him couldn’t even speak, nevertheless sing. So his wishes for them to be the same people were dispelled.

It’s such a shame though, and it makes Mitsuba feel a little less hopeful than before and sends him out of the room. Everything matched up, the same hair, eye color, skin color. If he were to see his teeth, maybe the same fangs as well?

He can see his face, but he can’t hear his voice.

And that’s the key memory. His key memory.

So Mitsuba puts that aside, and tries to see what to make out of the boy himself.

The boy in question acted like a newborn child, or just a baby coming outside for the first time. So curious and excited and new. He looks at his food, something given to him by the servants, like it’s something he’s never seen before. Like it was a stinky rat they just fried and threw on a plate. Because he scrunched up his nose, inspected it, and instead of even touching it with the utensils, he looked much more interested in a spoon, fork and chopsticks.

Mitsuba thinks that it was much more logical if the boy was just a ‘tall’ 2 year old. 

He continues to be fascinated by music boxes and fire and even his own two legs and feet, he walks like he doesn’t know how to use his own two legs and feet.

He’s always smiling and excited, the only thing that seems to make him drop the cheerful demeanor is seeing sea animals get cooked in an open restaurant window.

Maybe he’s vegan?

Mitsuba wishes to be just as happy as the boy is all the time. Instead, Mitsuba’s life is filled with royalty. The only thing that’s intriguing about him is his good looks and status.

He wished he knew what the boy thought of him. He hopes it has nothing to do with him being a prince.

What if the boy was much more interested in princesses instead?

The whole thing made Mitsuba’s head spiral, it made him frustrated with himself. He’s supposed to be thinking about his savior, not a random boy with amnesia and overly cute, well, everything..

Maybe not as cute as himself.. But, he still can’t help but look at him in an adoring way.

If there is anything that Mitsuba will admit about himself ( Except that he’s good looking ) is that he’s a pretty bad prince.

He doesn’t care about finding a spouse or ascending to his throne or producing an heir or any royal responsibilities. He never even dreamed of being a prince, not even as a kid. He dreamed of being anything that had anything to do with anything in the sea.

He wanted to be a marine scientist ( Even though he’s not that good at science, he would work his a** off ), but mostly a sailor, a captain, a pirate even. He wanted to be involved with the sea world, he wanted the sea animals and plants and water to acknowledge him. 

Because that seemed more exciting than boring politics and crowns and paperwork.

When people dream of being king, queens, princes, princesses and any royal Nobel, they dream of ballrooms, respect, wealth, spouses, status. Not politics, or  paperwork. Maybe crowns, but definitely not having to be responsible for everything that goes wrong in your life, and in other people’s life.

The girls Mitsuba met weren’t so bad, but they weren’t interesting, and he couldn’t imagine himself falling in love with any of them. Or anyone for that matter. His mothers tried suitors, he didn’t like them either. The people he met were dull, fake-fancy, and had expensive personalities. In his book, they weren’t worth a dime. Maybe a penny cut in half.

They could have been good people, good suitors or suitresses. But again, he wasn’t interested in ‘people-love’, he wanted the earth to love him. Again, not people.

Pretty selfish, right?

He wanted animals to love him, plants, even air. A little bit more like Snow White. Because to him that meant that he was truly important, truly loved. People only loved him because of his status, even his Nobel mother. Maybe except for his real mother and brother.

At least he has his own pirate crew, but they even respect him because he’s Prince Sousuke. 

Mitsuba wants to be known as Mitsuba. Too many people call him Prince Sousuke. It holds no meaning anymore.

But whatever, he can’t drop out or anything. He’ll continue to be pretty good at politics and crowns and paperwork. 

He’s not one of those angsty teens in indie movies, and even if he may be one at least he’s the prettiest angsty teen in an indie movie.

He’s grateful though, of course. He’s grateful that his family was taken out of poverty after their father left them in the dust. He’s grateful that his mother still loves him. He’s grateful that his brother still loves him, even though Karasu claims he’s gay and emo. He’s grateful that people respect him, and that he’s not picked on or bullied like other kids, he may have been if he hadn’t turned into a Prince and exerted into royalty.

But sometimes he wished he was a normal boy.

Mitsuba didn’t notice that he rambled to the boy about cons of royalty and his dreams, including how he wanted to be earth and marine. Like a merman. The boy giggled, but no actual giggles were heard.

Mitsuba didn’t think he could admire the boy anymore than he already did.

His eyes shone in the sun in a way that added teal and gold and gray into his irises, they looked even prettier than before ( Mitsuba dare say prettier than his own ). 

His eyes looked like the most beautiful blocks of gold, and even citrine crystals.

Mitsuba loved crystals.

This boy was much more interesting, than even himself and anyone he’s ever met. Nature, air and sea right in front of him with the glory of Mother Earth.

He realizes he’s staring too much so he looks away sheepishly, he’s never looked someone in the eye that much before.

Despite spending the very few days together, Mitsuba still doesn’t know much about him. It’s difficult to learn anything about the boy because he can’t speak to him, can’t tell him anything about himself. But still, it wouldn’t hurt to try a little, right..?

“I feel bad for not knowing your name..” He says, still not looking the boy in the eye.

He perks up at that.

Mitsuba doesn’t know what to do after that, how would he try to figure out his name?

He looks up from the sea and gets an idea.

“What if I try to guess it?”

The boy thinks, then nods eagerly.

Mitsuba turns to face him again, looking at his face to see what name would suit him.

“Is it Akira?”

He shakes his head, still smiling brightly.

“How about,” he ponders some more, “Tsu…..”

He gasps and leans in, that must mean he’s close…

“Tsu…. Basa..?”

He shakes his head again, but looks at him even more expectedly.

Then he writes something in the air with his finger slowly two times, something that looks like a ‘K’.

“Tsu.. Ki.. Tsuki!”

He indicates another ‘no’.

Mitsuba thought that was so close.

But he was getting closer.

What other name started with ‘TSUK’..?

Suddenly, the name hits him upside the head like a strong wind. If he didn’t know any better, he’d say it was sung to him. The same singing voice he heard the time he was saved. 

Tsukasa.

“Tsukasa?” He says with much more confidence this time. ‘That has to be it-‘

The boy lights up, nodding so fast Mitsuba worries he’ll hurt his neck.

A victorious smile spreads across Mitsuba’s face, trying to suppress the urge to stomp his feet and flap his hands to release the energy.

“Tsukasa,” he tries. “I like it.”

Tsukasa's smile turns smaller, and Mitsuba thinks he must have said something wrong once Tsukasa turns away so he doesn’t see his face.

But then he sees his cheeks turn a mulberry pink, and starts blushing himself.

Mitsuba doesn’t know what to do now. He had a goal, did he not? An original one, one that came before wanting to get to know Tsukasa’s name. He had a mission before meeting Tsukasa, and he has no plans on giving that mission up.

He has to find the guy who saved him. He has to see him, hear his voice again, thank him with everything he’s got. Sure, now he really wished Tsukasa and the guy were the same people, but life wasn’t that simple, he learned that even before becoming a prince.

He had to hold his pride and put aside meaningless flirting. 

But god would he be lying if he said Tsukasa didn’t make his stomach upset, fizzy and nervous. Maybe it felt like that because he was trying to swallow the words wanting to call him pretty, good looking. That’s Mitsuba’s thing, being pretty. He was the prettiest boy in this town! Tsukasa couldn’t come a close to that, he wouldn’t let him.

Though Mitsuba was a man, a man with eyes, that couldn’t deny Tsukasa’s attractiveness for the life of him. Not even just his physical appearance, everything about Tsukasa seemed attractive. His attitude, personality.. Mitsuba didn’t think he even had a bad trait.

But everyone did, so that was unrealistic.

And one thing about falling in love is the delusion that someone couldn’t be bad in any way.

And now Mitsuba thought this was horrible, the urge to kiss Tsukasa was overwhelming. He doubted for a second he would get turned down, but fear of rejection took place.

People all over his town ( Around his age of course ) would send him heartfelt love letters and flowers just to be with him, to either be royal or because they ‘loved’ him. He could hardly walk around his palace without someone confessing their undying adoration for him. He’s never, ever been the one confessing, even when it comes to saying his appreciating love for his family. He couldn’t do it, it would break his pride and make him uncomfortable.

So imagine how he’s feeling right now with the most lovable person in front of him.

This was more risky. A guy he’s only spent a day with kissing him sounded rushed if he were to tell his mother, or his brother, or his maid. It was rushed, and desired. That was horrible.

Looking at Tsukasa another time, who’s just recovered from the compliment and is now looking at the water, he knows he wants him. He wants Tsukasa more than anything right now. He’s unlike any person he’s ever met, as a prince who met half the whole town, that’s saying a lot. 

It’s possible Tsukasa wants him too, right? Those gold eyes have been lingering on him all day, he could say with all his confidence. Tsukasa would invade his space like he couldn’t be separated from him for a moment. 

Mitsuba can tell when someone is interested in him, Tsukasa checks every box.

Little did he know the boy himself was just as nervous, maybe by five times.

He had suppressed bouncing his leg or fidgeting with his hands  in front of the prince so he wouldn’t look unstable, but really he didn’t know what to do either.

What do you do when you're on a boat with a human in silence? The prettiest human you’ve ever seen, the first human you’ve seen ever since coming up to the surface?

Prince Sousuke was exactly how Tsukasa imagined a human would be. Gorgeous, humble and elegant. Even more than merpeople. Even more capable and interesting.

Tsukasa wasn’t so clueless, he’d read romance books, he’s seen romance, he’s known about it ever since he was a kid. It was written on his father’s face when facing his mother, it smudged off of it when their mother left, it floated in bubble hearts around people giving romantic tension. 

He wondered, if Mitsuba and him were under sea, would they have a bubble heart too..?

He doubted it like he’s never doubted anything before.

But there was so much tension.

And the timing was perfect. On a boat, sea creatures and birds all around them, no one else. The lighting and atmosphere was something out of a romance movie, and they both heard a soft melody coming from the distance where fishermen were playing music on the dock, far from them of course.

The moment is subtly ruined by the squawking of a seagull. Mitsuba jumps at the noise, while Tsukasa laughs, a little too quietly. 

Tsukasa takes Mitsuba’s hand unwantedly and takes him back to his previous concern.

He does want to kiss the boy.

Now’s their moment, the nature was urging them, the wind pushed them in close proximity and out of the corner of Tsukasa’s eye he sees leaves flowing along loopy lines all around the boat.

No time could be better, they’d lose the chance if they didn’t take it now. 

Fish were circling around them, they’ve made it under a willow tree and the leaves continued dancing. The sight might have been strange to Mitsuba, all the sea creatures now beside their boat, all of the Earth focusing on this one moment if he weren’t so focused on Tsukasa.

Everything was set up so perfectly, like the universe wants this to happen. Mitsuba wasn’t so big on fate, since the coming out of poverty with a royal request felt like nonsense to him when he was younger, but he could roll with this one.

His hands reach out to find Tsukasa’s. He could no longer hide it. 

At that moment he wanted to kiss Tsukasa more than anything.

Tsukasa smiles, more like an attempt to pull himself together because he would never be ready for a kiss, by a human, by anyone. Not ever. His heart was still beating hard in his chest, loud enough for Prince Sousuke to hear it, his ears were ringing and his eyes fluttered to shut close to not see what comes next.

Mitsuba smiles, no longer shy like Tsukasa, but flirty, like he’s daring Tsukasa to follow his plan in making them as close as possible.

Tsukasa’s hands are shaking, his legs are shaking, his whole body is now. He’s never been more nervous in his life. Maybe.

But he shakingly accepts the challenge.

Tsukasa and Mitsuba inch closer and closer toward each other. The distance in their faces is closing in, and Mitsuba can feel the overwhelming warmth of Tsukasa’s body heat. Their lips brush against each other, and then-

In an instant, the boat flips over.

It happens so fast that it gives Mitsuba whiplash. He’s not able to process what just happened, but surely he will not be admiring the water engulfing him after ruining the chance he had with Tsukasa.

His immediate response was to find Tsukasa, reaching out to him under the water and then pulling them both up to the surface ( Ever the gentleman ).

Once they both come up, they breath in air through their mouth, it almost gives Mitsuba flashbacks of almost drowning.

A black and purple fish is swimming frantically around Tsukasa, looking comically panicked. Mitsuba can’t help but stifle a laugh at the sight, deciding to question everything later.

“Looks like you have a friend,” he points out.

Tsukasa’s eyes dart everywhere but Mitsuba’s, all memories of the moment they were about to share coming back to him like a speedy truck, and then hastily swats away the flounder.

“Hey,” Mitsuba teases, “Don’t be mean to it.”

He takes Tsukasa’s hand, giving him a dreamy look to try cheering him up. It takes a while for Tsukasa to register it before blushing profusely and looking away again, hand still quaking.

A feeling of disappointment sweeps over Mitsuba as he realizes he missed the chance to kiss Tsukasa. Although, this situation was just hugely ridiculous and he does nothing but laugh and encourages Tsukasa to flip the canoe back over.

It’s an easy task, and Mitsuba starts rowing them back to shore.

He wants to kick himself for not kissing the boy sooner, when will an opportunity like that come again?!

He tries convincing himself that it’s fine, he’ll take Tsukasa somewhere nice next time, and go to a cafe to apologize, maybe. Hopefully royalty didn’t take up all his time again, because the only thing he wanted to be occupied with now is Tsukasa.

And finding his savior..

Yes, of course.

Mitsuba doesn’t notice Tsukasa fuming, thoughts running wild with questions and everything above while steering the boat.

Tsukasa hides his face in his hands as a seagull lands on the boat and tilts its head at him.

Sumire smirks, amused by an overly flustered Tsukasa she’s never seen before. Also thinking it was a shame the sirens working for Sakura had to ruin the romance between Tsukasa and the boy she thinks, she knows, he likes a lot.

Mitsuba and Tsukasa will hopefully get a chance in the future.

[jkgnggj]

please I need to know WHAT is the psychickers h2o mermaids au please tell me I've been thinking about it all day the autism in my mind has consumed me and all I can think about is psychickers h2o mermaids au

OKOK SO I DONT HAVE IT WRITTEN DOWN ANYWHERE BUT I GOT IDEAS !!

Basically in h2o there's three mermaids at first (Rikki, Cleo, and Emma) and yk three mermaids and there's three psychics. So it's not like an incredibly accurate substitution for the characters but just a general substitution. Like the psychic kids aren't taking the place of one singular character just of a mermaid if that makes sense. So saiki and Miko and Tori are mermaids. And like how in h2o there was a normal guy who wasn't a mermaid but helped them when they needed it, we got Akechi as the normal non mermaid guy (bc he's not a psychic in saiki k).

As for their powers I'm still deciding but for right now I'm leaning more towards Tori having that mist evaporation power Rikki has and then Miko having the moving water thing cleos got going on? And then idk if I should have saiki get the freezing water power or if he should have all of them like Charlotte did? And idek who's be Bella or Charlotte in this au I haven't thought that far ahead Idek who Zane would be. He's giving saiki vibes but the relationship Rikki and Zane had is more of an aren and metori relationship and doesn't really work with any of the psychickers or any other character. And since Charlotte was sorta cleos rival and liked lewis then if I wanted someone to fill her role it'd be extra super tough bc who tf would like Akechi? (Besides the psychickers) The closest to Charlotte to me would be Teruhashi (bc why wouldn't the perf pretty girl have all the powers and be special and a mermaid etc) and maybe she'd be trying to get saikis attention instead of Akechi's but idk if I should really make teru a villain hmmm

As for the story I don't think I'd follow the plot of h2o besides some things like the plots Abt the full moon and how they turn in that magic pool of water and maybe their work place. Id def change their backgrounds a lil (both different from the show and the anime). So Idk if Tori would still be a monk here or not, it depends on whether I want them to just live by the beach in Japan or westernize them. Tho I think him being a monk and having to juggle his monk duties with being a mermaid would be interesting. But I was thinking of making Tori a surfer or like lifeguard for summer bc I thought that'd be incredibly interesting. Like he'd have to decide to still be a surfer or a lifeguard or to stop being a mermaid.

Of course I don't really wanna change their personalities tho putting them in a diff setting and stuff makes things a lil difficult bc without the settings and conditions they grew up in they might've turned out different. Aka maybe if he didn't have to hug ppl and didn't grow up as a monk Tori might've not turned out a perv, or without her powers and stuff Miko wouldn't dress or speak like a gyaru, and without his powers saiki wouldn't be so angsty and sad. Also idk if I want them to be friends before they turn mermaids or the fact that they all turn mermaids by accident together forces them to become friends reluctantly. I like the latter tho. Them all sorta hating or disliking each other (which is kinda how the three girls were in the show at the beginning I think) would be fun.

Though if miko didn't have her lil fortune telling business I think she'd maybe have a different business that involves the beach somehow? Though again it would be fun if she still grew up being interested in fortune telling and astrology stuff. And as for saiki I think he'd still be pretty quiet and introverted even without his powers yet somehow still easily make friends like nendou and kaidou. Though I think Akechi still staying his childhood friend after all this time would be the only thing that changes for saikis relationships. He never moved away so they stayed best friends.

And akechi gets two more friends out of it when he notices his best friend acting weird and all of a sudden he's hanging out with these two monkeys he's never seen before and he gets suspicious and follows them and sees one of them turn into a mermaid and he gasps and wants to study them etc etc. Also instead of cleos sister kusuke would be the annoying sibling, still older sibling and he'd find out Abt saikis secret too eventually, a long with the other twos secret.

Now what I can't really decide is if there should be any ships or not especially between the psychickers. Idk if I want a big polycule or mikotori or torisai or torikechi. I still need to iron out a lot of details as u can see but ty for the ask! <333

Mermaid Reigen was not born with an ability with his voice, like the sirens. This lead him to be outcastes by the other mermaids and his family. But still, he’s not powerless, he has magic in his eyes, able to entrance humans with just a look. Still…he is jealous of his best friend.

Serizawa is Reigen’s childhood best friend forever! ( hashtag not a serirei au)

Teru is a prince here. He uses this shell to turn

Mermaid Au Teru would be one of the bratty human princes that doesn’t really care for the ocean life, prob litters a lot until he gets to know Mermob. He gets to understand their world.

& especially when he’s given an enchanted necklace that turns him into a mermaid temporarily

As long as the necklace is under the water, he’ll be a mermaid. it gives him a perspective of the beauty of he sea. He meets other merfolk too like the others weeee

He is fascinated

I bet he still don’t have present parents though, that’s why he doesn’t care both the ocean

[added this here bc I don’t remember if I’ve said it before]

Dimple is Prince Teru’s right hand man and is human. He is also separate from Yoshioka. Dimple has long black hair and dark green eyes. Yoshioka looks like he is, but no suit and he’s not wealthy.

This is Serizawa! Not completed yet! He has a powerful ability with his voice, luring people and mind control, but he doesn’t use it. Definitely much more timid, but he is still a capable mermaid.

2. the pirate au? i love pirates

I’ll be so honest I did NOT do a lot of research so everything isn’t historically accurate or very piratey but otherwise it’s a pretty fun AU!!

Inspired by the last chapter of this ao3 fic where Hanako is the assumed identity of both the Yugi twins! In this AU Hanako is apart of a famous pirate fleet predictably called the Seven Mysteries. He's known for big heists, being a hit or miss with ladies (Tsukasa vs Amane's rizz) and rumored to grant wishes for a steep price.

Kou is a knight in training who seeks live up to Teru's exceptional reputation as a young Comander. However he struggles to be taken seriously by Teru and his peers at his academy so to prove himself, Kou decides to take down the infamous Hanako of the Seven Mysteries!

After chasing Hanako (Amane) endlessly through town, he finally manages to 'sneak' onto his ship. Kou meets Hanako face to face and blah blah they fight blah blah blah Kou gets shoved overboard <3

Despite multiple defeats, Kou continues his search for Hanako and they have like. A weird dr doofenzmertz and Perry the platypus relationship? Up until they fight this other pirate ship trying to heist fishermen boats where they learn they make a decent team!

After that, Hanako offers to team up with Kou and teach him a few things so he isn’t just fumbling around the palace and ACTUALLY gain the experience necessary to be taken seriously. In turn, Kou sorta humbles him? Grounds him to the island a bit and gives him a look into a slower life.

The bulk of my notes come from me rambling about sillier background stuff not necessarily related to the 'plot' like Little Mermaid Nene getting hired as a castle gardener or Kou discovering Tiara is, in fact, NOT just befriending a bunch of random animals and actually just. Has a pet shapeshifter or Teru warning Kou to 'stay away from pirates, they're only trouble yap yap yap' when he's dating Akane, someone he KNOWS is loosely connected to the Seven Mysteries, etc, etc. I barely have a grasp on the main HanaKou plot but I do love this AU a lot!! Hopefully it'll come to fruition someday

//Ok, so first, we have a tbhk x Pjsk one. And no, I don’t mean an Au where the pjsk characters have the roles of tbhk characters. I mean one where they’re part of the world. Like, the characters in tbhk and Pjsk know each other.

Tsukasa is an exorcist, for he thinks that he can keep his sister safe and happy. Yes, he’s still in theater.

Emu is a ghost, as she messed up a rather dangerous acrobatic stunt.

Nene is familiar with Sakura, and also talks to Yashiro over their shared love of mermaids.

Rui is quite familiar with supernaturals and knows Emu. He also knows Teru.

//I have so many Au ideas, it isn’t even funny.

[inkedberries]

I just saw your little mermaid au and i fell in love with it!! But, what about the other characters? I'm just curious! I love all your draws btw, are soooo cute!! 💞💞💞💞💞

allow me to introduce to you some of the other characters that play a part in this here story!!

tsubomi is the sea witch that granted shigeo’s wish to turn human. there was no ill will when tsubomi granted this to shigeo. there was no ulterior motive. she was just a friend who supported shigeo on his decision to explore the world of the humans. but she did try to talk him out of it .

there was no time limit as to when he’ll turn back into a merman, but there is always a price to pay. an exchange. and just like in the story, shigeo also gave up his voice for it. 

tsubomi keeps his voice safe inside a bottle. lovingly wrapped in seaweed and twine. it’s placed insider her jewelry box and she is very much ready to give it to shigeo if he asks for it.

ritsu is the second prince of the seas. he was the first one shigeo talked to about going to the surface. he is very much against shigeo going there. 

being this is the first time shigeo ever expressed wanting anything ever, their parents let their son go.but with conditions of course lmao (e.g if he doesn’t have a place to stay within a day, then he goes straight back home lmao) but ritsu.. still apprehensive kdfjd

he’s the one shigeo talks to while shigeo’s living inside the castle. ritsu talks him into coming back home almost on a daily basis lmao

teru is the sea captain of one of sho’s merchant vessels. sho frequently sails with teru when he is tasked to visit other countries for diplomatic reasons fjkhjdf

sho considers teru as his best friend. his confidant. his right hand man. and teru well.. he’s very fond of sho lmao

he also became quickly fond of shigeo when shigeo first moved into the castle.
