Hypnotic Affection

Yandere Merman x Mermaid Reader x Merman

TW: manipulation, hypnotism/ drugging, tentacles, kidnapping, yandere themes, delusional behavior, etc.

Since you were young, you had been betrothed to a shark merman named Marin. Marin was a cantankerous individual and was quite rude to you since you weren’t a shark mermaid. The only reason the two of you were even betrothed was so your clans would stopped fighting… yet you knew you’d be miserable with Marin.

You often attempted to court him with various shells you’d find but he’d always rebuff you. “These shells are too small, you’ll need something better than some measly clams to have me look your way longer than a few minutes.”

His words were always as sharp as his teeth. His clawed hands would always chuck your clam shells away no matter how pretty they were, it broke your heart. You really wanted to make this marriage work… maybe he’d budge if you found a conch shell?

You bowed your head to your fiancè before you headed off back toward the sea. Marin had no idea this would be the last time he’d see you in awhile…

You swam farther and farther from home until you spotted a conch. You were on the edge of deep sea territory, so it was best to be careful or else you’d get swept up in the current… but it would be worth it if you’d gift the conch to Marin and he’d finally accept you, right?

Your eyes lit up as you slowly swam towards it but you were quickly snatched up in large tentacles, a screech left your lips when the tentacles tighter around you.

A different merman quirked their head at you as they shimmied out from their hiding spot in the coral. “A-a mermaid? I’m sorry.”

The coral colored tentacles quickly released you before ghostly pale hands began to examine your body in worry. “I just thought you were a fish… I hadn’t meant to lunge at you.”

You were surprised by how shy this merman was, his hands trembled as he shakily checked your arms to make sure there were no marks.

“I’m perfectly okay, I’m (your name). What’s your name?” The octopus merman’s cheeks went aflame when you asked him for his name.

“I-I’m Ren! I’m an octopus.” Ren’s tentacles folded into one another as if they were comforting his nerves. “I still apologize for scaring you… I’ve never seen another mermaid before.”

You smiled at Ren and offered him your hand. “It’s nice to meet you, Ren. I hadn’t meant to trespass your area… it seems I wandered a bit too far.”

“I-it’s no issue at all!” Ren beamed, his dark eyes filled with stars while his tentacles flailed in excitement. “If you want, you can stay in my burrow with me! It’s quite comfy in here.”

“That’s so sweet of you.” (Your name) beamed at Ren who ushered her inside. The merman began to become a bit jittery when she accepted so easily. He’s been wanting a mate for so long… and now she was finally here!

Ren sealed his den shut as soon as she swam in. His tentacles blocked the exit watch a large boulder. “It’s to keep predators out!” Ren reassured her as he lead her around his small home. She marveled at the various jars and vegetation he kept. “I’m a sea witch.”

“Wow! That’s really fascinating!” Ren blushed again when you didn’t mock him for being a sea witch. It made his heart flutter. You were so sweet and that made him even happier… the only issue was that you were a different species than him…

“How about I show you a few tricks?” Ren was so happy when you accepted. The octopus merman showed you a very simple spell that made his home brighter. He was thrilled when you clapped your hands and smiled. Ren was so happy to no longer be alone… and he would never let you go.

Ren offered you a meal and you happily ate with him. The vegetation made your brain a bit foggy, but the taste was delightful. Had Ren always been so attractive?

Ren smiled at your sleepy form as you yawned. “Here, how about you spend the night? It’ll be so much safer for you that way.”

You nodded and allowed him to lead you into his den. His tentacles pulled you into an embrace as he smiled. This was just too easy…

You didn’t know how much time had passed since you entered Ren’s burrow since Ren would often feed you every time you tried to leave. Ren made you such lovely meals that you slowly began to forget what even brought you to this end of the sea. You really liked Ren, so why did you have to leave again? You felt as if there was some strange phenomenon happening around you and yet you didn’t care anymore… you liked being with Ren!

Meanwhile, Marin was in shambles. You had been missing for a week now. You always showed up every other day with your stupid smile as you held up some shells you found to him… you were never away from him for long. Marin searched your home in the anemones and he searched all the reefs around yet you were nowhere to be found… were you okay? You didn’t try to go find a bigger shell for him, did you?

You didn’t know it, but Marin always gathered up all the shells he’d throw. He just wanted to look tough in front of you… but now he knew it was a mistake. You wouldn’t risk your life for a shell when you were already engaged to him, right? You were already enough… you were always enough.

A month had went by and you were still missing. Marin now took more desperate measures of swimming out farther and farther… until he spotted a conch. The shark merman rushed towards the shell and began to examine the ocean floor until he spotted a sealed off den. The merman quickly swam toward the rock and searched for a crack until he could peek in there. The sight before him horrified him.

Ren’s purple appendages slid up and down your delicate tail as his hands grasped at your hips. “Would you like to be my mate, (your name)?” Your head felt so dizzy and you could only nuzzle into him. Ren smiled down at your obedient form. What a perfect mate you’d be! It was just so easy to ensnare you and to hypnotize you with his potions… it was all so easy-

Ren was shocked when the boulder to the den was shoved open and a shark merman lunged at him. Ren screamed when one of his appendages were bitten off by the shark. Marin’s large gray form quickly scooped you up and made a swim for it. Ren tried to snatch you back, but Marin easily evaded the tentacles. Ren began to scream as he tried to give chase, but the blood gushing from his missing arm would attract more sharks… he’d have to come back for you another day…

Marin didn’t look back once until the two of you were an hour away. The shark set you down on a rock as he began to examine your body for any wounds. “You’re okay now… we’re going home.”

You tilt your head to the side in confusion at Marin’s words. Who was this merman and why did he seem so familiar? “But I was home? I live with Ren.”

Marin felt a sob rack through him before he bent down and pulled you into a hug. What had that octopus done to you? Marin would protect you this time, he’d help you get back to normal. “You’re safe now… you’re safe.”

You often sat in a trance in Marin’s den. It was as if you were in a whole other world despite being next to him, a world where Marin could no longer reach you.

“Look! I have all the shells you gave me on the walls.” Marin gestured to the various colorful clamshells with a smile. “I’m sorry I was mean before, but that didn’t mean I didn’t like you! I really do care for you, I swear.”

Marin was filled with hope each day when you’d glance at the shells but his hopes would always be dashed when you’d tilt your head off to the side. “Do I know you?”

“I’m Marin... I’m your fiance.” Marin was so frustrated that you couldn’t remember him. He had tried everything… from taking you to every spot you two grew up together to your old den, yet nothing clicked. You only ever wanted to ask about that damned octopus merman.

Marin often cuddled beside you when it was time to sleep. His muscular arms felt so strange around you compared to Ren’s slender ones. You really missed Ren…

“Psst, (your name).” You perked up when you heard Ren’s voice. You gave him a big smile before you slinked out of Marin’s arms. “Let’s go home.”

You quickly swam towards the octopus merman who scooped you into a tight hug. A big smile on his face when you accepted him. He almost felt bad for Marin if it wasn’t for the fact that the shark merman was the entire reason the two of you met! What a sucker…

Zebra Shark | Potion Mishap

Yup! I am doing the trope of "a potion gone wrong, causing our Prefect to become a mer-person!"

I was conflicted between a lemon shark and a zebra shark. But I liked the patterns of the zebra shark during their transition from pup to adult shark.

Also, the way I colored water; it's giving 2000s aquarium core.

Anyways, full body ref and Floyd's reaction below!

LATE MERMAY POST - Because last month my job was very hectic and this weekend happens to be June already 😔

I wrote a quick small drabble below that goes with this drawing, enjoy

SharkMerman!Sebastian x IceBettaMermaid!Winter (MC) ❄️🩵🧜🏻‍♂️🧜🏻‍♀️

Sebastian is a magical shark merman that loves exploring new places and has a voracious appetite for adventure. While exploring the Greenland Sea, he encountered and fell in love with Winter, a rare mythical species of Betta mermaid that could live in icy seawater. He discovered after talking with her that there are currently only three of these Betta merfolks in the entire Arctic ocean, including her.

He could only see her a couple of times a week because his body could not withstand the icy temperature and his self-warming spell could only last for a day. During the remainder of the time, he would have to return to his home in the Northern Atlantic Ocean.

When she first met Sebastian, Winter was enthralled with his vast knowledge and intellect, as well as his witty and charming attitude. He has a kind and loving heart, despite the fact that he could be rather crafty at times and his stubborn disposition occasionally left her shaking her head.

Sebastian adores her quirky personality and caring nature, and he became even more enamored with her when he discovered that she possesses both intelligence and curiosity that rivals his. And Merlin’s bloody tail, while he finds her beauty captivating, her desire for knowledge is as powerful and forceful as the Gulf Stream, and he’s a goner for her. When he comes to visit her place, they always spend time together, whether it's going on long swims exploring places or simply chatting for hours.

Driven by a desire to see each other frequently, he trained his body to become more tolerant of the cold while she increased her tolerance to warmer waters. He would teach her spells to keep her body chilly while he practiced his self-warming charms to last even longer than before.

Even though their training allowed them to spend days or even weeks together, their enchantment doesn't endure long enough for their liking.

Nevertheless, they are resolute to search for a way to remain together, indefinitely, without the use of their magic.

I actually have more lore on this drabble involving Ominis and other characters but I'll leave it like this for now, indefinitely

EDIT: omg I TOTALLY FORGOT but I meant to give some credits! I eyeballed some poses (by floorsdelluna) and background (from this painting i found in pinterest)

[crow-n-tell]

Oki oki oki I realized y’all are not gonna see eclipse pretty much at all throughout the story so I figure

Eh, hab some exceedingly large guy content

I might talk about all the lil bits of what he is later, but biggest thing is is that he’s a chimaera shark. The artist formally known as the ghost shark. There’s a lil frilled shark, lil sea dragon, some lore stuff…

Anyway this is only some sketches of him he’s a bit subject to change ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"We provoke a shark every time we enter the water where sharks happen to be, for we forget: The ocean is not our territory - it's theirs." -Peter Benchley Thank you to the amazing @miamiero for making another one of Averyll's dreams come true-- this time with more teeth 🦈

Yoooo, can we get poly mermaid submas x golden koi fish reader? I love them both so much and can't choose lol.

Poly Mermaid Submas x Gold Koi Mermaid Reader

Mermaids are members of societies like other monsters. With recent times, there's been progress made for mermaids to live on land, in special aquatic rooms and custom made magic wheelchairs, allowing them to travel freely among the others.

Mermaids could never really become human but that doesn't limit their abilities as society members. Mermaids regulate and maintain the balance of nature in the ocean waters, ensuring coexistence.

Mermaids have stood out in modern society due to their monarchy. 5 kingdoms for 5 oceans.

The twins would so happen to be two very lucky shark mermaid twins. Shark Merfolk often go through a difficult pregnancy so to have a pair of twins is extraordinarily lucky.

The crown title of princes naturally go to both of them. Their father naturally is the king. As much as the king loves his sons, they can be quite a handful when it came to the topic of their potential marriage.

That is until they saw you one day.

You were a gold koi mermaid stopping to visit the kingdom the twins were going to inherit one day. Your brilliant tail and fins shine brilliantly under the ocean light. Your scales were iridescent and your eyes were just the same, reflecting light like crystals.

Emmet is never quite that good at introducing himself so he swam up to you in a speed you hadn't seen before and loudly introducing himself in his usual manner, "I am Emmet!" To disgruntled Ingo who comes after him soon after.

You aren't a noble but you're actually the knight of the princess mermaid that was coming to see the twins today. She too was disdainful towards the potential arranged marriage and refused to swim out of her hiding spot. Though you take your knightly duties very seriously, when it came to the princess, you tell them that it's much like having a younger sister. The princess would be a squid mermaid and had camouflaged herself in the royal garden so you were simply waiting for her to be ready to show up.

But as you talked to the twins, they were much more eager in you rather than the princess. In fact you spent all day with them until the princess came out of hiding, shyly admitting that she was hungry.

You lightly make fun of her, but she's quick to change her mind when you entice her with human food. Before you bid farewell to the twins, she loudly shouts across the water, "HEY DO YOU WANNA MARRY MY GUARD" before you drag her away up to the surface with her tentacles flailing. "HE'S SIIIIIIINGLE" she yells as her voice gets more distant.

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.

happy mermay! here's a shiver

Mermay Odypen ✨

Odysseus and Penelope in a mermaid/underwater AU

I decided that all Greeks in this AU would be based off of Mediterranean sharks (not sure if I would draw anyone else tho)

Penelope's tail was based on the blacktip shark, Ody's was based on the spotted cat shark (look them up, they're small and adorable)

I decided here that mermaids cry with air bubbles instead of water so that the tears are visible underwater

This piece became my first draw this in your style challenge, more in this Instagram post

[clover-midori]

Kwazii + Shellington (MerMay 2024)

There is NO room for a doomer in MerMay, so why don’t I draw the couple that began my journey through the Octonauts fandom?

The designs here are taken from my Reclaimed By Nature mermaid AU, in which case Kwazii is a lemon shark and Shellington a leopard shark.

Octonauts belongs to Silvergate Media, Mainframe Studios, and Meomi.

[princess-vibes25]

I meant to make it last a week, oops 😬

Anyway, I want to get the people’s opinions on what they want to see during Mermay
