AGSCZ+ whale sightseeing where they see blue whales jumping out from the water. I love whales. And maybe killer whales too.

*Everyone is watching the whales*

Cloud: Woah, look at the blue whales. Wait, are those killer whales?

Sephiroth: Technically, orcas are not whales. They're the largest members of the dolphin family.

Genesis: I wonder if this part of the ocean is too warm for them. They typically prefer colder waters.

Sephiroth: Global warming is causing ocean temperatures to rise, forcing orcas into uncharted territory, where prey becomes scarce, leading to fierce competition and brutal deaths as they struggle to survive.

Zack: Look, they're surrounding that seal for friendship!

Sephiroth: The seal is their lunch.

Angeal: STOP RUINING THINGS.

🐋Siren AU, Scene One:

(Warning: mentions of cannibalism, Reader being chased from their old home, possible child murder, and Reader wanting to bite everything that tries to touch them. You have been advised)

• The ocean before you spreads beyond you, vast and impending. There is no coral, no colorful fish, no seaweed. It is an unending abyss of blue, fading darker and darker the farther it is from the sunlit water above... But, you have nowhere else to go...

• You used to have a different home, a different life. Born to a school of reef mers, all colorful and elegant, you were different from birth. You were black and white, not a speck of any other color to your tail... And your tail, it wasn't built like the others', full of trailing fins and frills, but bulkier, thicker. While the other guppies made fun of you, you took care of yourself. After all, you were stronger than them. If one bit you, you whapped your tail against their head. If they scratched you, you pinned them to the sandy floor until they begged to be let up. After awhile, you were just left alone, ignored and abandoned in favor of more similar playmates...

• You hated when you found out what you were... It had been a regular day, learning what you could from an elder, playing by yourself, and keeping away from the gossipy guppies, until a hunter had burst into the coral reef. The moment they saw you, they had screeched, "I finally know what they are! A siren!" Murmurs went up, followed by an elder asking for proof... "Proof! Here is your 'proof '" they had spat and they tossed a fin, just like the one along your back, into the group. "I tore that from a siren north of our territory! It was large, a behemoth! In the same colors of that one, bone white and ink black! It wasn't just any siren, but an orca!"

• THAT set the entire school into an uproar. Shrieks and cries burbled into the water as the nearest adults lunged at you, claws aiming for your fins and eyes. You managed to duck by, swimming as fast as you could around the panicking mer. The reef flashed past you as you swam, bits of rock and coral scraping against you as you dodged reaching claws and sharp harpoons. Until finally, you slipped out into the open waters, slapped out by the tail of one of the hunters, who tried to follow you. It only took that for you to turn tail and flee, striking out into the uncharted waters...

• And here you were now, alone, bleeding, and with no skills or school to help you survive. The one thing you had that was yours was your pearl earring, long and dangling, that you had found by yourself when you were only twelve winters old... You weren't sure how it wasn't torn off in the chase, but it brought you a small comfort to keep it. With a bubble-filled sigh, you kept swimming...

• The sea stretched on, never stopping or ending. No signs of any other life were to be found, save for small squid that came up at night, fleeting and swift. It was... unnerving. It had only been a week since you left, and your wounds had started to heal. You found out, only a few hours after leaving the reef, that a harpoon had nicked your tail, leaving a jagged, painful scratch along its side. That complicated swimming, but you couldn't stop. If you stopped, it was likely something would try to eat you while you rested. You couldn't risk a shark, or dolphins, or another siren finding you. If mer would kick out one of their own, someone they had raised, all because they were a siren... Would an actual siren do worse?

• Your reprieve from these thoughts was finding a small, rocky outcrop pointing out of the endless blue. The waters here were colder, foggy and sometimes filled with chunks of white. It wasn't ideal to stop here, but you needed rest, and this was the only opportunity you had had since your escape... Still... You approach the rock carefully, and once found clear of danger, you curl into a small crack, just big enough to fit you.

• Your dreams are fitful, full of sharp claws and deadly spears and familiar voices leering at you, pouncing in for the kill-!

•With a sharp, fearful click, you wake up. Your fingers rub over your arms, as your tail curls up, trying to squeeze yourself into a smaller ball. You feel the small gills of your neck flit, until you are able to calm down from the nightmare... But just as you settle back down... You hear an eerie sound, something that reverberates through the water around you...

• Tensing up, you stay quiet, staring out into the darkness beyond the crack. The moonlight filters through the water, painting everything in alien blacks and silvers, until the noise dies out... Everything is quiet, save for the small rush of a current nearby. The world seems still, unmoving... until something shifts into the light, something large and dark, and you shrink further into the crack. It's the largest thing you've ever seen...

• Another eerie sound rings out, something between a hum and a wail, loud and fervent. You clap your hands over your ears, trying to muffle the noise. Whatever is out there moves again, until you can't see it anymore... With a small shudder, you turn your head away from the crack entrance, and drift back into slumber.

• In the morning, when you wake up, you cautiously approach the crack entrance, sensing the water near it for any vibrations. Luckily, none are there... When you gather your nerves, you slip out, careful not to aggravate the scars on your tail. There are more white chunks in the water, and there are small bits of light turning the water a jewel green. Nothing seems off... No mers, no fish...

• "So, that's where you were hiding."

• A shriek escapes you as you turn around, only to find something larger than you and the rock outcrop...

• It's large, with scars banding it's arm and chest, with old wounds lining its tail. Their teeth are sharp, and their eyes are reddish-brown, like drying blood. Talons as sharp as hooks are at the end of each of its fingers, long and deadly... And their tail... It's... It's... the same as, yours...?

• "What, never seen another siren before, kid?" it asks, in a growl-like voice. In a sharp arc, you dive back into the crack you came out of. A curse echoes around you, as the being shifts around the rock so they can gaze into the small crevice. "Kid, kid, calm down. It's just a joke."

• "..."

• "You've... never seen another siren, have you?" It- he, it sounds like a he- peers at the entrance. One of their claws scrapes at it, but it won't entirely go in. "You can come out, kid, I'm not gonna eat you," he tries. You push yourself as far back as you can go, even when you feel the rough walls scrape your harpoon wound open. A hiss escapes you, following a small stream of blood. Another sound comes from the much (much much) larger siren, like a low growl. "Are you bleeding, kid?"

• You don't answer, only squeezing yourself in further. You're uncomfortable, pressed this far back, but it's the farthest you can get from what is essentially an adult who is bigger and obviously more dangerous than the mers you knew. A billowing sigh escapes the larger creature, the water rippling around it. "Kid... if you're bleeding, it needs to be looked at. Can you please come out?"

• "... No..." You shiver, trying to will yourself to be strong. If push comes to shove, you can't go down without a fight. What are you, afraid? You survived a murder attempt! SEVERAL, murder attempts! You can face some oversized whale, right?!

• "Kid, I can't take 'no' for an answer. Now, please come out. Don't make this difficult." The creature sounds tired now, maybe a little irritated. You let out a warbling click, the most threatening one you can muster. The creature stills, and seems to back off...

• Then... something weird happens. A loud, mournful wail-click, filled with a desperate, assertive tone rocks the waters, sending a cool ripple into you... But... the song sounds nice... Soothing... You shake your head, ripping yourself free from it.

• "No! I'm not going out there! You might eat me! Or WORSE!" you yell, covering your ears. The siren outside let's out an annoyed noise, only for it to pause...

• "Why the h*ll would I eat ya, kid? And what do you mean, 'do worse'?" Then there's a loud, deafening growl, and he speaks again. "The mers... they did that to you, didn't they?" When you don't speak up, he takes that as an answer. "Of course those sons of eels would do that... Kid, look, I'm not like them. We are not like them. We don't do that. We don't scare off kids, we don't try to kill 'em, and we definitely aren't about to make you bleed. Now, I'm going to say this one more time: Please come out."

• You shiver as the water only seems to get colder the longer you stay still... But still... "I... I can't...." You can't go back out there just to be chased off again, or have to battle against a siren whose older and stronger than you, who could easily rip you apart and leave you for the sharks...

• "I'm sorry, kid. That gives me no choice..." The calm wail-click starts again, and even though you try to cover your ears, it does nothing to block it out or to stop the vibrations rocking you gently. Tears enter your eyes, and you try to beg him to stop... But the song seems to echo inside your own head, a peaceful noise offering only relief and warmth... A small whimper escapes you, only for the song to get louder, softer, until you're lying down on the rocky floor and drifting off... The song keeps going, deep and affectionate, until you feel relaxed and tired... A slow rumble halts the song, and you let out a small warble, asking for it to come back...

• " 'Kay, kid, let's see ya." Something clicks besides you, dragging you out of the dark rock and into a warm palm. You sigh contentedly, the heat from it like the warmth of a thermal vent, constant and inviting... Something turns you, until you're staring into dark, vibrant eyes. You blink sluggishly, reaching out a hand to touch it...

• "Oh cr*p, kid... they did a number on you, didn't they?" A sad noise escapes you, and the voice stops. "Don't worry, we'll fix you up... Wait..." A nudge rolls you onto your stomach. "Kid... you look... just like me..." A croon comes from above you, and you feel more warmth pressed into you. "Okay, kid... Looks like I might just have to keep ya, huh? You sure are quite the little survivor, aren't you?" When you nod sleepily, the grip shifts, until your tucked against a warm wall... "'Kay, I can't say no to that... Let's get ya back to the pod, okay, kid? I know the other pups will be happy to see you..."

• You yawn, hearing a deep chuckle. "Seems like you need a nap... Night, kid. Get some rest. I'll keep you safe..." And with the gentle heat keeping you content and sleepy, you fall asleep... "Let's just hope Creed doesn't get word of you..."

In Our Wake

Amber Spindel

from the website: In this watercolor painting, I sought to capture the essence of our ancestors and the enduring legacy they have bestowed upon us. The orca, adorned with a galaxy of dark saturated magentas and teals, serves as the focal point—a majestic being that embodies strength, wisdom, and the spirit of the ocean. Its vibrant hues are a nod to the mysteries of the cosmos and the deep, uncharted waters that our ancestors once navigated.

As you follow the orca to its dorsal fin, you are met with a mesmerizing wake of swirling Native designs. These intricate patterns are not mere decorations; they are a visual representation of our colorful and vibrant past. Each curve and line is a tribute to the traditions, stories, and lives that have shaped our identity.

My people, known as the Strong People, have a deep association with the orca. This connection has been a source of inspiration for me in creating this piece. It is through their teachings and the inspiration they provide every day that I find the strength to create art that honors our heritage.

This artwork is a heartfelt homage to those who came before us. It is a reminder that their traces are indelibly etched into our history, guiding us as we move forward. The orca, with its cosmic colors and the dynamic wake it leaves behind, symbolizes the connection between past, present, and future—an eternal continuum of cultural legacy and guidance.

So, I recently played through Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (and by recently, I mean a week or two ago). I mainly did it to get all of the collectibles that my brother didn't get during his first (and only) playthrough. You know, get some easy trophies and whatnot. Now, for each piece of treasure collected, each photo opportunity taken, each optional conversation had, you earn unlock points which can be used for in-game goodies. You know, gameplay modifiers and camera filters and whatnot. You can also use it to unlock models for the model viewer, and that's where these guys come in.

These are Sandeep and Wasim, members of the rebel insurgency led by the game's main antagonist Asav, with the former being a lieutenant within said insurgency, as indicated by his fancy red hat. They appear in the first chapter of the game, which is appropriately titled "The Insurgency", though the subtitles simply refer to them as "Lieutenant" and "Insurgent" respectively. You get past their checkpoint at one point, and... that's it, really.

It's weird, really. These guys kinda encompass a role similar to what minor henchmen Knot and Orca did in A Thief's End, except not really. Because see, despite Knot and Orca's minimal presence in the single-player plot, they were at least playable in multiplayer. Hell, Orca even makes a surprise appearance near the end of The Lost Legacy's story for a boss fight. Meanwhile, these two have... nothing. Why bother giving them names in the model viewer, really... unless there was more planned for them or something?

🌊 Mermaid Meiker 🌊

Tagged by @florbelles to do this meiker!! Thank you, it was so fun and pretty!!

Nonia Fonzarelli (Talladega Nights): A merperson au where uh...there are no cars but they race...by swimming?? She and Reese steal alcohol from the sailors? I don't know just look at her

Cali Ortega (Resident Evil): She's the hag chillin in the swamp around the Baker property and Lucas finds her and is like ooh gross mermaid gf!! And tries to put her in the bathtub in the house. Not a fun surprise for Zoe to walk in on.

Jordanna Lewis (Uncharted): Treasure hunting doesn't stop when you're merpeople. In fact, shipwreck diving is WAY easier. Why did Nate and Sam never try this, huh? She and Orca are both...Orcas. Get it? It's funny. Laugh now

Missy (American Psycho): The pretty little siren who swims around the ocean with her pink frills and pearls, taking you with her to her handsome fisherman husband Patrick Bateman, only for them to leave you as nothing but chum.

somebody: are you sleeping with claire

chris: of course not

somebody: do you love claire

chris, internally: *what a diminishing word. you all lack the necessary neural pathways to comprehend what i am feeling with and toward her at any given moment. language is a poor substitute for the conveyance of feeling such as i have within me - like we would be crushed under the emotional capacity of the orca, which will intone for lost loved ones over great distances in wavelengths previously uncharted, so too would you and your kind be crushed beneath the weight and complexity of what lives within me and between us.*

chris: can we get a better question.

[firstaidspray]

N and/or J!

N: Nonia Fonzarelli!! The Gary Cole Cinematic Universe hoe, ofc her main and original media is Talladega Nights. In that verse, she begins as a gas station employee who hates life and lives only for NASCAR...until Reese shows up in her life with his Chevelle and makes her rethink the existence of love.

J: Jordanna Lewis!! One of my flagship ocs, Jordanna is from Uncharted but specifically A Thief's End and The Lost Legacy, because she is partnered with Orca and sometimes Knot. She's the head combat medic for Shoreline, and together she, Orca, and Knot are known as "those cunts from Shoreline."

Tysm for asking!!

What Song Would Your OC Sing at Karaoke Night?

Tagged by @adelaidedrubman to answer a very very fun question!! Let's see what some of my idiots would inflict upon the innocent fellow bar patrons.

Nonia Fonzarelli (and Reese) (Talladega Nights)

While this is actually Kent and Nonia's song, a long time ago I said I would love to see Nonia and Reese sing this together at karaoke, drunk as shit, Reese forgets some of the words, Nonia's somehow still in perfect harmony, Ricky and the others are laughing in the crowd. But if you actually hear Gary Cole sing (see here), his voice is really well suited for country. I'd love to see him and Nonia duet this.

Cali Ortega (Resident Evil)

This is a staple of karaoke night for anyone, and Cali is no exception. She's actually a pretty good singer, she can match Alanis well. She might get a bit too into the performance and have to get reminded that it's bar karaoke, not a concert. I can definitely see the RE7/8 College AU gang going to the bar and Cali singing while Lucas records it on his phone.

Jordanna Lewis (sort of featuring Orca and Knot) (Uncharted)

Jordanna would go HARD with this one. Orca and Knot are definitely on stage, drunk as hell, arms around Jord while they shout their own bad rendition and she tries to sing for real. But the truth is, she's just as fucked up as they are, and she doesn't sound half as good as she thinks she does.
