Met the absolutely lovely @thylacines-toybox today (technically yesterday) at TetZooCon and we introduced our cuddlies to each other!

Marco and Mossy say thank you for the wonderful conversations, and that we hope you enjoy the tour!!!

so *points at mer au eclipse and ruin* these bitches gay, obviously

but im curious as to like. how do they view each other. do they see themselves as human labels of relationships? do they kinda have their own word for each other or is it just "yeah im stuck with this fucker for the rest of my life and while i may act like its a horrible thing i really dont mind and even prefer it bc honestly i doubt we'd be able to survive without each other"

honestly they give an "idc wut its called we're bonded for life" vibe /silly

HJGFGH Oh definitely it's a 'bonded for life' kinda deal, literally as well as metaphorically. As for what to call it, well it's not romantic nor is it platonic - Queer-Platonic is the closest/best term for it and that's generally how i refer to their relationship! It's very much it's own special thing, and it differs greatly from typical human relationships. (Honestly if they were humans it would probably be super unhealthy lmao)

From Eclipse's perspective he doesn't really give any label to what he and Ruin have. At the very beginning it was a sort of mutual roommate situation that developed overtime into them becoming so much more, to the point that - as you correctly said - they would no longer be able to survive without the other.

Presently Eclipse is aware that Ruin is now his counterpart and has fully accepted that (again there's a story behind this happening that i hope to one day share should i ever manage to finish the fic gfjkg) but as far as an actual term goes? Hell if he knows, but he's content either way, even if he does grouch a lot!

For Ruin, it's more simple - to him Eclipse is his mate, his bonded, his partner for life. Now again this differs greatly from human and even your typical animal forms of relationships (especially with the mated for life deal) and it still falls very closely under the qpr catagory. Mers don't actually mate in the sexual sense (genderless beings and all) so for them to bond for life is to quite literally bind/tie their soul to another making them as one almost.

So long story short, it's a queer-platonic partnered for life kinda deal! Neither of them have any actual labels for it, it's just a 'we're attached at the hip and we ain't letting go'. It's truly queer!

At the funeral planning scene and ohhhh man. Oh man do I have thoughts about this

jellyfish family!!

[[[CW IMPLIED SH]]]

lesbians that adopted their child

fun fact jellyfish reproduce asexually (hence the adoption)

click for better quality!

species from left to right:

australian spotted jellyfish

mauve stinger

lion's mane jellyfish (longest in the world!)

genasi are jellyfish

hong-ka's alias is Ash

their last name is quagcnidae, a merging of the prefix of 'quagmire' and the scientific word for jellyfish stingers!

i love this family so freaking much

Image ID: Three elven jellyfish mermaids stand posing for a family photo. From left to right: A darker-skinned, blind woman with sand dollars braided into her brown hair wears an off-shoulder light blue top, has white freckles and eyelashes, and has the translucent jellyfish bottom of an Australian spotted jellyfish. In the middle, a light-skinned, orange-haired, and green-eyed jellyfish mermaid cheerfully smiles up at the left mermaid, wearing dark green semicircular garments with brown accents. They appear to have sh scars on their arms and have the pinkish-red and spotted body of a mauve stinger. On the right, a taller, also light-skinned jellyfish mermaid stands smiling down at both of them. She has a sleeveless turtleneck top with a sheer red mesh covering connected by two rusty cuffs on her arms that pull at her skin. Both mothers have poliosis or a white forelock. The leftmost mother and child both have a tooth gap. From left to right: Salina (she/her), Fen(land) (they/them), and Hong-ka (she/her). Their last names are all Quagcnidae. End ID.

Here's more evil henshin au that eventually will be drawn but typing it out(waring long text post yapping). The million bo!shinichi au but with a twist in the sense of heiji is a assassin/hitman(ik there's a difference idk which to pick) and both of them encounters eachother bc they get the same people to murder them. but shinichi is already there doing his job so he's altering the scene to make it impossible/unsolved crime scene ever and heiji appearing while shinichi is doing all of that both of them get in a discussion of heiji solving the "case" (is a 50/50 bc he gets them correct half of the time and the other times he just doesn't and shinichi just smirks) or other times heiji cutting a body part of evidence to show the client he has and shinichi going "💢great now I need to change the scene because it wouldn't make sense." They bicker a lot! Like they do eventually meet up aside from "work encounters" but is very funny like they just sense eachother in the streets and imitate eye contact like oh...

Funny enough they don't know eachother outside from their "jobs" including shinichi not knowing heiji actual name and only calling him silly nickname for the hell of it and heiji going 💢💢💢 in the annoying way and shinichi giving because he's such a "good natured and honest person" that he gives his name (the bo name lmao..idk which one so lmoa), in the paragraph above they do encounter eachother outside of their "jobs" which is funny because heiji takes notice and shinichi just feels he's being watched so they do make eye contact and is like ah...I should know this type of stare... vs I hope to go he doesn't recognize me. Which funny as hell bc shinichi does not recognize his face but does his voice, body build, etc bc photomemory ahh moment. The first time is just from a distance, the second time shinichi does like ah its him moment bc lmao...he did hear heiji talking with like kazuha bc they where hanging out moment!

How they get together is kinda funny because is all on kazuha to point out to heiji and he's like HAH?? no I'm not and then he thinks about it more and is like head in hands I am in love... insert the accidentally confessing to shinichi in one of the "job" encounters and they are at this point talking then silence and shinichi goes "well what you have in mind, being in silence is very unusual for you. You always have a commentary on this "case" hm?" And then heiji blurs out the "want to go out with me?" The nefarious blushing shinichi insert cute moment of what did you say looking at eachother very close almost whispering at eachother and heiji goes "that I love you and would you go out with me" "yes aside from the whole murdering part of our job nature, I would like to go out with you" :3 then blah blah dismantle the bo and both are free from the evil nature of murdering and killing.

More information on my take on a bo!shinichi. He's more developed in his detective skills like to the point he can make a murder scene to lead cold, etc. He is also somewhat of a apothecary more leaning on the poison bc why not...why make a insane fake case cover up when you can poison the target hell and back and also make it to lead up cold...(You can see the inspos imma take from other characters that I like and hit shinichi on to him bc omgies herlock sholmes and maomao my beloved...) also he fucks around with poisons may have a habit on yknow experimenting on himself sooo he has a high tolerance to poisons! But is fine he can medicated himself back huzza being a lowkey apothecary. how he got involved with the bo well smirks making vermouth/yukiko exes and that vermouth keeps keeps taps on her yknow waves hands around (following the campaign of yeagh the kudos ain't great as parents...) seeing how shinichi being alone in his big ass house while his parents knows where so one falls to the other and "adopts" ,more like wisking away, shinichi with her. Technically has a "normal" life until hitting his teens he's suspects vermouth in a dealing with something more dangerous more than meets the eye and one leads to the other and he gets wraps around the bo which vermouth legitimate hates it but shrugs maybe he's the key to blowup everything via the inside who knows! His only friend is Sherry and they tollarate eachother but they care for eachother yknow! Also hates everyone else in a sense...

Heiji whole thing I say is more of a "family" business that accidentally got wrapped into it and seems he cant get out but he's the best out the best yknow! Mostly goes as the "the tiger of the west" type beat and (have NOT thought about the design wise but my brain goes urgnmr mask...to hide identity prob idk..) Mostly uses yknow his sword lmao more of a "you really brought a sword to a gun fight" type of guy BUT HESS INSANE AT HIS JOB!!!! legitimate kills and doesn't even trace back to him smirks. Like not like shinichi who uses disguises and other things for his advantage but heiji goes as himself but more on the "random stranger on the road" yeah you got his hat (not backwards but forward facing lmao like when he scouts n stuff the vibe is like when kaito using his all dark clothes and a cap yknow same vibe here lmaoaoa) also he isn't detectiving a lot in this au because he's more chill back from it he solves cases here and there but it isn't his full focus yknowww that's why he likes shinichi murder "cases" he sets up when he kills the same target because is engaging and he solves half of the time smirks also suggests too and shinichi legitimate goes huh your right moment

Ouaghh they make me so sick and evil like oaughh also there's evil angst bc why not smirks but I'll leave it till here if you made it thru congratulations!! I like to hear what ya think I like reading the evil comments/tags <- ghostly wailing
