Masterlist for Shamrock and Shanks-> HERE

Also. This is a little gift for @urinarythreatinfection because I feel bad for not giving them the fluff I told them that would be delivered. I hope this makes up for it love! ❤️

Really, Shanks doesn’t mind that you always steal his clothes. He thinks that his oversized shirts make you look adorable, and it soothes a primal part of his brain when he sees you dressed in them. He especially likes it when you wear shirts that are missing the top couple of buttons, giving him an excellent view of your cleavage. He has been known to just shove his face against your supple bosom and stay there, hidden away from the world.

He also doesn’t mind when you wear his pants, loves seeing them hang low around your hips as you strut around his cabin, and is too lazy to find your own clothes to wear. It makes it easy to slide up behind you, push them off your hips, and get to what he really wants. The problem, however, is that you always wear them back to your room, either to wash or put away in your little stash of his clothes. A stash that was steadily growing bigger because Shanks was running out of clothes.

Sure, Shanks could ask you to give them back, but why would he do that when you look so happy walking around in them? You even have his cloak stowed away, having stolen it one evening when a cool breeze had swept over the deck. Shanks had offered to go back to his cabin with you, but you had denied it and simply taken his cloak, wrapping it around your body like a blanket. Shanks had shrugged, not bothered by it being taken, and had just stayed closer to you the rest of the evening.

However, as much as he would like to just let it be, Shanks had worn the same shirt for three days now and his pants for an extra two because he couldn’t find any of his damn clothes. His shirt was stained and his trousers had gained another rip on the knees that definitely wasn't there the other day, so again, as much as Shanks would rather not, he needed to talk to you about his clothes.

He steps down the hall and stands in front of your room, raising his hand to knock, then waits patiently for you to answer. You rip the door open seconds later, a grin on your face as you grab him by the wrist and drag him inside. You shove him on the bed and straddle his hips, arms around his neck and lips pressing against him within seconds. Shanks happily lets himself be manhandled, grinning into the kiss as he wraps an arm around your waist to haul you closer.

You start babbling to him the moment the kiss breaks, telling Shanks all about the dolphins you'd seen while on deck earlier and did you know that sharks are just curious and not actually evil beings and that the news coo had dropped off this week's paper and had you seen Luffy's latest bounty?? And wait. Isn't that the shirt he's been wearing for the past two days?

Shanks answers them one at a time, a patient smile on his face, his hand pressed against your back and drawing circles with his thumb. He takes in what you are wearing, just his shirt this time, though any pants are suspiciously absent.

“I saw them earlier, too, and yes. I did know about the sharks, and yes to the other one too. Luffy has definitely made a name for himself. And three days, actually love. That's something I wanted to talk to you about.”

Shanks winces when he spots the look of confused guilt on your face as if you already know what he is going to talk to you about. He slides his hand from your back and cups your cheek, needing you to look at him so that you know that Shanks isn't upset.

“I'm not upset, baby. I like seeing you in my clothes. All I'm asking is that you start bringing them back to my closet. Not yours.”

You sputter, your face going red as you deny, but any arguments die on your tongue when Shanks gives you a look. You sigh dramatically and slump forward, pressing your brow into his shoulder. Shanks laughs at your pout but curls his arm back around you to hold you close, his lips pressing against the top of your head.

“Oh, I know. I'm . just so terrible for wanting to wear my own clothes,” He teases, and you huff, a smile on your face as you bury yourself deeper against him. Feeling mischievous, Shanks snakes his arm up and under your shirt, dragging his nail along your back and down to the waistband of your panties. You shiver at the feeling, breath coming in a little harsher when Shanks leans in, his lips brushing against your ear.

“How about you help me take this off so we can have some fun first, hmm, love?”

Your captain rolls, pinning you beneath him and hovering over you with a smile that shows a few too many teeth. You shiver at the sight, hands frantic as they pull at your shirt, tossing it aside and baring yourself for the redhead. Shanks groans at the sight of your breast and proceeds to fall forward, lips latching around one peaked nipple, tongue swirling and pressing against the sensitive bud.

You wither and squirm under him, brow furrowing at the burning pleasure striking up your back. Your hands dig into his hair, blunt nails scraping against his scalp and your legs falling open so that your lover can settle more fully between your thighs. Shanks hums, tongue curling around your nipple before slipping away with a harsh nip, smirking when the slight pain makes you buck under him. He trails kisses across your sternum and gives your other nipple the same attention, not wanting it to feel left out.

Shanks shifts so that he holds himself up by his knees, core tense as he slides his hand down, thumb tucking under the waistband of your panties and sliding them down and off your legs. You helpfully kick the fabric off and away, lips swollen from where they are tucked between your teeth. Shanks groans when he slides his fingers through your folds, your cunt already a sticky mess. Slick clings to his fingers and rubs his fingers together, spreading the thick fluid as he raises up, showing you his hand with a grin.

“Already soaked, and I've not even done much,” Shanks coos softly, and once he has your eyes on him, he drops his hand, middle and ring finger, seeking your entrance. He grins when he finds it, dragging the tips across once, and then twice before he gives in and sinks both digits into your waiting pussy, grinning fox-like as he watches your face contorted in pleasure.

Shanks pumps his hand, fingers dragging along your walls and stretching you with practiced ease. He is intimately familiar with your cunt, knowing exactly how to bring you close to that delightful edge over and over again. He shifts his hand, his thumb coming down to press against your clit, watching you throw your head back and groan, hands fisting in the sheets of your bed and hips jerking against his hand.

Closer and closer he brings you, focusing on the clenching of your pussy, how your folds quiver and slick gushes to coat his hand. Shanks leans down, lips pressing against the side of your throat and breathing you in. He loves having you like this, all pliant and wanton for his touch.

“You want my cock, baby girl?” Shanks rumbles against your skin, teeth brushing and nipping between words, “My fingers just not enough for a glutton like you?”

You whine at his teasing and jerk your head in a nod, voice rough from ecstasy, “Please.”

That one word is enough to have Shanks pulling away, hand sliding from your cunt so that he can shove his pants down, cock springing free and glistening at the tip. He shuffles forward, hand around the base to hold him steady, lip bitten between sharp teeth when he drags his cockhead through your folds. Shanks groans when he catches against your entrance, cock slipping inside of you with ease thanks to his prep and how wet you are.

You cling to your lover as he sinks home, eyes wide and locked on his face. His brow is furrowed, teeth clenched as he holds himself still, wanting you to adjust to his girth before he begins to move. You huff and grind up, adjusting so that your legs wrap around his waist and pull him further into you.

“Move.”

Shanks grins, eyes wide and pupils blown, “As my lady commands.”

His hips snap forward, his pace slow and deep, wanting to feel every pulse and twitch of your cunt. His hand curls around one of your thighs, tugging it free from his waist and throwing it over his shoulder. He rucks forward, bending you, and focuses on the sight of his cock disappearing in and out of you, a ring of thick cream forming around the base of his dick as he picks up the pace.

Your nails dig into his shoulders, teeth grit as you press back into each thrust. Your cunt clenches around the thick length that feels like it is splitting you apart, “Shanks.”

He catches your eyes, that grin back in place, “You close baby? Me too.”

You jerk your head in a nod, a gasp ripping from your throat when you feel his sticky hand press against your clit, his thumb pressing harshly and within seconds you are sent over the edge, cursing loudly as you cream around his cock.

Shanks follows you right over, hips spasming as he comes, thick ropes of seed spilling deep inside of you. He fucks it in deep, eyes still lingering on the sight of his cock bullying itself back inside of you. He slows, hips twitching and carefully drops your leg back around his waist before he leans forward and presses his weight against you. Your arms wrap around his back, holding him close as you bury your face into his hair.

This wasn't what Shanks had intended to happen when he came to get his clothes back, but you wouldn't find him complaining. They could wait anyway, this right here, with you clinging to him and his cock still buried deep in your cunt? This was far more important anyway.

Rujinu Relationship Headcanons:

• So this happens after canon

• Jinu comes back, and as demons are not under Gwi-ma's control anymore, they don't steal souls as much

• Because they don't need it

• A few of them do and the girls just deal with them easily

• But the Saja Boys are back as just idols who don't steal souls even though they are still demons

• The move at Idol Awards and Namsan Tower is seen by the fandom of both groups as a big storyline collab to promote the Saja Boys's first comeback after they debuted with Soda Pop (Your Idol), and the Huntrix's first full album (How It's Done is their debut) (The album single is What It Sounds Like and Golden and Takedown are b-sides, Takedown being one of those songs the girls never perform)

• It works

• Both Your Idol and the girls entire album chart like it's easy

• Tons of PAK's (Perfect All Kill)

• And a lot of streams in all global platforms

• Because the whole world is literally taking turns hearing one song and then hearing the other

• While the Internet goes crazy over Zoeystery and Miromabby too, they go CRAZIER over Rujinu

• We know in real life people would be sending death threats and trucks in protest to the labels

• But I'm inspiring Rumi and Jinu in one case that South Korea actually supported them

• Supported them so much they ended because the midia didn't leave them alone and they had no privacy

• If you know Kpop, you know who they are, but I'm not going to say it just so people don't think I'm hating on any of them

• Rumi and Jinu wouldn't have this problem with the midia because Rumi hid her marks for years and the Saja Boys still hide the fact that they are demons pretty well

• So they would be pros at avoiding paparazzi, etc

• They would only give to the midia enough about them

• But after Jinu came back, they didn't immediately get together as one might think

• Rumi gave Jinu his soul back so he can be truly free by owning his own soul instead of his soul being owned by Gwi-ma or by her

• Rumi told everything that happened between Jinu and her to Mira and Zoey, but in a way to hide the fact she's in love with him

• The only thing she didn't mention was Free

• After all that was their song, and a romantic duet would give her feelings away and a lot of room for teasing

• The thing is Rumi and Jinu are clueless and dumb af

• They clearly like each other, everyone can see it, but they just won't do anything about it

• They are both the leaders and main vocals in their respective groups, they have the same age (to the fans), they both had an alluring beauty, etc

• So the things they had in common just made the fans become obsessed with them

• And they gave reasons to

• The "discreet" looks and little smiles at events were all there

• When they became MCs together for Music Bank, the world became a better place

• Their first MC Stage was Soda Pop (In Dolphin by Soobin and Arin and Butter by Wonyoung and Sunghoon style) and their last MC Stage was Your Idol (but they performed Huntrix's songs during their time on the show, and they became the k-pop idol duo to stay there for the longest time and they just had to leave because of their schedule and the producers just kept begging them to stay, but in the end they hosted it for one year and one month)

• In Award shows, every time the other was performing and the camera would focus on one of them, their eyes would glow, and they would sing and make little dances and then try to disguise it

• One time, a male host at an award show was asked by the female host, which groups or kpop singers he liked the most

• He answered:"I listen to TWICE, Meovv and... Saja Boys, and personally I am a fan of HUNTR/X's Rumi"

• The Saja Boys were standing at a corner waiting for the announcement of the winners, and Jinu's face is just covered in pure and sheer jealousy looking at that host on stage

• Romance cracks up in laughter

• Baby just smiles and looks at Jinu like he knows what's up

• Mystery lets a chuckle escape

• Abby trying not to laugh even whispers on Jinu's ear:"Remember, we don't steal souls anymore, buddy" and gives him a little punch on his back and friendly wraps his arms around his shoulders in a way to hold him to make sure he wouldn't attack the poor guy

• When they are announced as the winners, Jinu stays behind Abby all the time

• In a way it makes it impossible for the male host to reach him to shake his hands, only shaking hands with the female host and making it look like an accident

• In another award show, Jinu, that will be in a k-drama as the male lead for the first time, has a surprise performance with the lead actress to promote the drama

• When the performance is announced, Rumi immediately tries to contain a little smile

• "Jinu solo performance, I'll enjoy this" She thinks

• Then the lead actress appears, and her smile is gone, but she tries to keep a professional face

• It was the first time Jinu sang alone with another woman that wasn't her

• And God, didn't she hate every second of it

• The idea of Jinu singing a romantic duet with another girl was almost too much to bear

• The performance ends with an almost kiss (who was a planned part of the performance of course)

• Rumi has to drink lots of water to calm down and see if her face becomes less red, making sure the water bottle would hide her face

• Mira is enjoying it with a smirk

• While Zoey, also enjoying it, tries to help saying it's their characters, it's not real

• But then, after the performance, the lead actress keeps laughing at Jinu, making eyes at him, and she even touches his arm for a split second at the post-performance interview

• To Rumi, that was torture but she was hiding it as much as she could

• Later that night, while on their parenting duties with the tiger Derpy and the magpie Sussie

• Rumi asks him why he didn't mention the performance

• He says he wasn't allowed to because it was a surprise

• Jinu reassures Rumi he's got nothing with that actress

• And him and that actress never sing together again

• And it's later announced Rumi has an ost in said k-drama

• And they were seated together at the premiere

• And gave excuses to stay close to each other at the red carpet

• They later have a photoshoot for a very famous korean magazine together with Abby

• It was super clear Abby was third wheeling

• People barely noticed him there because not even his hot body could take attention to the chemistry Rujinu had

• After all of this, they finally decide to confess their feelings and start dating

• Thank God, Mira, Zoey and the other Saja Boys couldn't take it anymore

• The few Instagram posts they had started to match, with fans noticing accessories and exclusive jewelries from very specific brands, and not soon enough their feeds were almost the same

• And of course, it didn't take long for Dispatch to take photos of them in dates in couple outfits

• They let themselves be photographed on purpose so their labels could confirm it and they could live their lives normally

• They were very private

• So you can imagine the absolute CRASH that happened on Instagram when Jinu, now staring at a movie, appeared with Rumi at the red carpet of Cannes

• He knew it was going to happen but he decided to post anyway for shits and giggles

• He needed a new phone after that

• They almost never have their dates on their houses

• Otherwise Mira and Zoey and the other saja boys would tease them way too much

• Jinu helped Rumi with her demon side

• They always went to watch the other in an event disguised

• And left the place from behind

• Got married after 5 years of relationship

• Jinu insisted the family took Rumi's last name "Ryu" instead of his last name (Choi), becoming officially Ryu Jinu

• Had a daughter named Ryu Somi

• In terms of appearence, Rumi's genes barely even tried

• Nine months in her womb, making her suffer for Somi to look like her stupid dad

• Of course she had a human form

• But as Rumi is half demon (50%) and Jinu is full demon (100%)

• That makes Somi 75% demon

• In her human form, she has more patterns than Rumi and less than Jinu

• Her patterns shine with a rainbow color discreetly but still slightly more evident than Rumi's

• In her demon form, both her eyes turn gold instead of just one

• And her skin also becomes purple, but a lighter shade of purple than Jinu's

• Naturally blessed with otherworldly visuals

• She can also sing, dance, rap, act, and play many instruments

• Unlike Celine, Rumi and Jinu never told her to hide her patterns

• Derpy and Sussie sleep in her room

• And this happy family lived happily ever after for centuries

Some sappy tfp Megasound hcs

Soundwave loves animals and once snuck off to watch some whales and dolphins leaping out of the ocean. Megatron had secretly followed him and recorded a video the sight of Soundwave being so excited over watching a sperm whale leap out of the ocean.

In addition to hc 1 Megatron watches that video when he's very stressed because seeing the happiness in Soundwave's body language calms him down.

Megatron once carried Soundwave bridal style back to the Nemisis after Soundwave got injured in battle: Soundwave refused to leave Megatron's arms.

The first time they slept in the same berth Soundwave was out like a light, Megatron watched over him until he fell asleep too.

Always settle arguments by sparring which always ends in a draw and with Megatron and Soundwave cuddling afterwards.

Soundwave likes to watch documentaries about Earth's history and nature, Megatron hates documentaries (especially history ones) but will watch them with Soundwave if asked nicely.

Had their first kiss after a battle at the start of a war, hiding behind a burned structure to avoid capture in that moment.

Soundwave will rest against Megatron if he gets tired during meetings, Megatron allows this to avoid a cranky Soundwave.

Megatron once tried to steal an elephant plushie after finding out Soundwave loved elephants, he failed but Soundwave was still happy that he at least tried to get him a gift.

Soundwave will often snuggle Megatron if he ever gets upset, specifically snuggling into his side and refusing to let go of him until Megatron comforts him.

Megatron kisses Soundwave on the back of his hand every time they hold hands, it never fails to fluster Soundwave.

Soundwave will often climb onto Megatron's shoulder and sit on it as he knows it annoys Starscream and makes him feel single.

Soundwave has every form of birdsong he's heard memorised and often plays them to calm himself down after bad days.

Megatron and Soundwave both want kids but know it's not ideal to have a baby during a war, especially as a pair of decepticons.

Soundwave has a collection of shiny seashells and rocks that Megatron randomly gives him. He doesn't understand why Megs does it but he likes the little gifts regardless.

together? together.

chapter five: zipper and bruise

m.list | next

synopsis: twelve years of friendship. you're leaving for college. oikawa tooru has always been just your best friend. so why does it suddenly feel like goodbye might break the both of you?

pairing: tooru oikawa x f!reader

the next day is cozumel.

this time, you and oikawa are the early risers. the ship is still quiet when you slip out of your cabin, half-asleep, hoodies on over gym shorts and pajama shorts. everyone else is too sun-fatigued, too cruise-lazy to move.

the hallways hum with silence. outside, the docked port glows gold beneath the rising sun.

you go to the starbucks on deck. he orders for both of you. swipes his card without blinking.

“my mom is convinced you’re her daughter without her blood,” he says, grinning as he grabs your drink. “i’m sure she wouldn’t mind you buying this.”

you roll your eyes, but you sip anyway. it’s perfect, like he knew exactly what you wanted without asking.

in cozumel, you get matching bracelets from a stand with no price tags. oikawa haggles terribly. you still end up overpaying, but he claims it was “for the memories.”

you take a taxi with no seatbelts. the driver plays reggaetón at full volume and speeds through intersections like the laws of physics don’t apply to him.

you buy raunchy tourist t-shirts: his says call me daddy, yours says margarita dealer.

you people-watch from a plaza bench and lose it when a man with half his ass crack showing falls into a shallow fountain trying to take a selfie.

when your families finally stumble off the gangway and find you, your parents surprise you with a swimming-with-dolphins excursion. you and oikawa stare at each other in disbelief.

“dolphins?” you whisper.

“you’ve heard the horror stories too?” he asks.

“they’re smart, tooru. like too smart. that shit is scary.”

he grips your arm dramatically. “if they fall in love with you i swear to god—”

they kind of do. you’re both a little scared. your mom takes seventy-six blurry photos of you and oikawa laughing, slipping, trying to balance on floating platforms while dolphins push you through the water with terrifying force.

he swears the dolphins liked you better. he’s genuinely jealous.

you call it a day before the rest of the family, splitting from the group to take a cab back to the ship. the boat’s quiet, most passengers still ashore, and you spend the afternoon slipping down waterslides until you have the worst wedgie of your life and oikawa’s contacts are all but destroyed from the chlorine.

you lounge under umbrellas, share more soft serve, and nap on deck chairs with sunglasses still on your faces.

dinner that night is white-out night.

you slip into a fitted white dress, silky and strappy. you try zipping it up yourself and fail.

he zips it up for you.

your back is bare. his fingers are slow. your cheeks go hot. you can’t meet his eyes until you’re halfway down the hallway.

and even then, all you can think about is how that same zipper comes down.

you take group photos on the main deck, glowing from sun and sea. oikawa wraps his arm around your waist instead of your shoulder, the way he’s started doing sometime this past year. you don’t mention it.

you eat lobster. trade bites. he steals sips of your coke when he thinks you’re not looking because his sprite was a mistake. you let him.

after dinner, you play mini golf with his sister and her boyfriend and you end up sharing a look with his sister.

it happens fast, right after hole nine, right after oikawa steps in behind you, one hand ghosting your waist, the other adjusting your grip on the stupid neon green putter.

“you’re holding it like a baseball bat,” he says, lips close enough that you feel his breath against your ear.

you laugh, too nervous, too aware. his fingers trail off slow. he doesn’t step back right away.

and when he finally does, you look up, and she’s already watching you. arms crossed over her chest, leaning on her boyfriend’s shoulder, a quiet smile playing at her mouth.

she raises one brow. tilts her head.

your eyes go wide.

she doesn’t say anything. just holds your gaze for a second too long. like she knows exactly what that moment was. like she’s known it for longer than you have.

you flush. look down at your shoes. swing too hard on your next turn and completely miss the hole.

she laughs under her breath. but still doesn’t say a word.

she doesn’t have to. because it’s in the look. in the way she watches you and then glances at her brother, eyes soft and knowing.

you’re not subtle. and you don’t think she wants you to be.

…

the next day is the bahamas.

a fake island made for tourists. everything is at least twelve dollars. the bartenders speak perfect english. the sand is perfectly white, the palm trees perfectly spaced.

a lizard runs past your foot and you scream.

your dad and oikawa lose it, wheezing and patting each other on the back like they’re old drinking buddies.

oikawa takes more pictures of you, this time in a strapless tube dress under the palms. helps you choose which one to post.

“if i were terushima,” he mutters, “i’d be shitting my pants right now.”

you laugh. when you show him your story views, he groans at the sight of matsukawa in the likes.

you stay out late that night, milking every last moment of vacation. four outfit changes. two frozen drinks. one slow dance in a crowded lounge you’ll never forget.

he calls you extra. but he still holds your purse while taking the perfect photo of your backlit sundress on the open deck.

when it’s time to pack, your bags are a disaster.

you pack at 2 a.m., sun-drunk and sleep-deprived, groaning and laughing and yelling across the room when oikawa forgets which suitcase has his toothbrush.

you wake up sore and tired and thirty minutes behind schedule.

the taxi to the airport is cramped. the vacation is over, your oasis floating away behind you, already blurry in the rearview mirror.

and just like that, it’s back to reality.

Annoying/cute things skz would do as boyfriends

Just pure fluff

proof read

Bangchan

i feel like he would just say a bunch of dad jokes and die at them,"What do you call someone with no body and no nose?","Idk what" "nobody knows".Then he'll start to cackle and roll on the floor,and you're just standing there like 🙂.He doesn't even notice that you don't find them funny because he's laughing too hard,but you don't have the heart to tell him that they really are not funny

Minho

We all know he's a butt abuser,so it's gonna be the same for you.He'll do it anytime,anywhere.You could be talking with you're friends and he'll just slap your butt.What can you do about it?You try to do it to him to get him back.It becomes a contest,you start to transform into Minho and do it anywhere.He could be about to take and shower and you just slap his butt,then he looks at you like 😒,you can't rest after that,you'll be sleeping and wake up to his hand slapping your butt

Changbin

Put you in a headlock(playfully..clean your mind)when you're in pictures he doesn't let you pose and just puts you in a headlock,its either that or him flexing his muscles,you pretend you hate it but you don't but you can't let him know that.He knows you love his muscle so he'll never stop putting you in headlocks or flexing his muscles,he would wear short sleeve shirts just for this purpose

Hyunjin

He would steal your food,you would be eating snacks then he would randomly come up too you and hug you so you would have to put your food down.He would then pick up the good then hide it from you and walk away.You would go back to eating your food then realise its not there,so you ask him "Where did my food go?" he just shrugs because his mouth is stuffed with your food.Or he would just snatch your food with no remorse,you start to chase him and he would.run away from you laughing.You get tired so you stop running and he'll eventually share with you.

Han

He loves to go shopping with you so when you go without he gets extremely sad,if you buy food he would hide the food from you so you have to buy more and then he can go with you. "I swear I brought eggs,did you eat them?" Too that he shakes his head and says "I guess we have too go back to the shop and buy more food",You agree and just grab the shopping bags, he starts to do some victory dance,chant idk he's just happy.You start to catch on to what he's doing and just go shopping with him everytime you need too.

Felix

He would sike you,he would pretend to high five you and just put his hand behind his head,and he'll never stop.He would do the too slow thing,He laughs in your face when after he does it,makes you look like a fool,but when you do it to him he will look at you like this 😦 he wouldn't expect it from you."Why are you so shocked you do it too me every day" he won't respond because he knows you're right.This kind of makes you lose trust in him with these kind of things,he would say smth like "I'll buy you the 5 star album" you get excited but your face drops remembering that he might sike you,"What?"

Seungmin

I think that he would make food for himself and not you,then you look at him in shock when you see that he only made food for himself "Seriously?" "What" he says before taking a bite of his food,if he's mad at you he would make your favourite food and eat it slowly in front of you,bro would smack his lips but then end up laughing because of how stupid he probably looks.You would obviously eat his food whilst he not looking,because you can't just make my favourite food and then expect me not to eat it.

Jeongin

Everybody knows that Jeongin can be a menace,he would say i gotta tell you something and go to whisper in your ear except he doesn't whisper,he does the opposite actually.He just screams in your ear,yk his dolphin scream?yea.He would also ask you to review a song and once you put the headphones on it's just ear rape or a song thats so base booted that you can't even hear the lyrics.He would think that this is the funniest things ever and you would just side eye him.

this is my first post so sorry if it sucked

tiny kwazii headcanons

Uh warning this is kinda long lol but I seperated it into parts

LITTLE LOOKOUT HEADCANONS

When kwazii was little and part of the salty spirit crew he was their lookout! Thats why he wears the eyepatch, because there's this myth that sailors used to wear an eyepatch so that they could always have one eye adapted to the dark. Yk for when they go above and below deck? And with kwazii being a cat eyed lookout I think he'd try all the lil tricks for it.

Also speaking of eye health tricks hed totally uses kohl! Kohl is a middle Eastern/ North African thing, but its basically eyeliner power 👍 even now culturally some men and women choose to wear it overnight (for nonmakup purposes) because they believe it improves the health of the eye. Its also used for cosmetic purposes and to prevent evil eye 👁 by some people. Not everyone's the same tho ( I was gonna share a pic of mine but it wouldn't load)

Kwaziis pretty good at climbing ropes and using ropes cuz hed play on the ropes of the salty spirit. Alot of birds would nest there, these birds actually helped gather information and share messages for the pirates lol.

LEGAL IDENTITY AND ALTERNATE NAME

Kwazii does have an old legal identity for when he was little, but he didn't know so he had to make a new one. But his old legal name (a second name to protect his pirate family identity) was Kashiir Kucing. His mom was a kucing Malaysia cat

SPIRITUAL BELIEFS

Kwazii has a mix of beliefs from different cultural sources due to his upbringing. He believes in yokai, spirits, good and bad energy, and the evil eye.

He also seems very superstitious to everyone else since he makes clay charms with herbs inside and hangs them wherever he can. He also made everyone charms with their fingerprint on them. Most of them are to bring specific kinds of energies and keep bad spirits/ black magic away.

These charms herbs actually are usually herbs associated with anti disease measures,he also grows alot of pots filled with these herbs and insists everyone has one in their rooms. Even the captain with his freezing temperature bedroom. Kwazii has... stained their bathroom sink many times making these.

He also has small habits and behaviours like always entering a room with the right foot and etc

SONG AND DANCE

kwazii can dance cultural indigenous dances as he and his crew visited and made trade deals with many groups of people. He can also integrate the tamberine into his dancing

He knows alot of sea shanties and teaches the (pg version) of these to the vegimals. He never shared them with the other octonauts (like dashi) really, he tried once but for some reason it... felt very wrong. And... reminds him of how he felt when he thought his grandad was dead....

Kwazii has only really shares these full songs with the captain because the captain doesn't expect him to sing them all the time and understands they make kwazii feel sadder somehow. He hums them to kwazii on rough nights where kwazii needs the comfort and space to be vulnerable and cry.

He understands how music works on a fundamental level and that included acapella too. He learned music from his dad and dance from his mom.

REPAIRING THE GUPS

Kwazii also hums these subconsciously as he helps tweak repair gups. He doesn't crash as much as he used to but he felt really bad about how much work tweak had to do because of him, so they agreed he'd help out with the labor of it." You break it u fix it" he's gotten to the point where he can fix most basic issues with all the gups, and can repair the gup b from any crashes. Tweak still supervises and checks over his work tho

TEEN YEARS AND SOLO PIRATING

In his teen years he was more of a solo pirate and would ah.... well I'm gonna be straightforward and say he stole and sold alot of boat engines, was a menace to any poachers, saved a baby dolphin at one point and became an honorary member of their pod, DID successfully hunt treasure, broke into alot of places to steal cash (and information), and got hit by several purses in super markets because he doesn't know what land people manners are. Hd might be slightly wanted. Shhhhhh don't tell

Everyone but barnacles just kinda assumed he was technically homeless or a vagabond because he only mentioned sailing on his own boat before. But he actually found an abandoned lighthouse surrounded by hidden rocks in the water, not too big for a small boat like his though! It was kinda his secret pirate base but uhh... he's kinda embarrassed about it-

Cuz even tho he set up pirate traps and others he thinks it could've been way more impressive so he just never brings it up 💀at one point they had to take off from cotonauts and tweak was like.... hey do u wanna stay at the repair station with me and visit my pa with me?? To uh... help with repairing gups?? Cuz she was like??? Every time he ain't on the octopod hes just living in the wilderness 💀🙏

Random Headcanon

(This came to me in a dream… it has to do with modern-day, don't ask. Blame my dream, not me lol.)

Mai is pregnant and has to return to 2000 to her own time to get the baby out. This is how the warlords react once they see the baby. (According to my dream.)

Oda forces

Nobunaga: He would be shocked seeing the baby for the first time. He will also wonder what to name him or her, and ask if he can go shopping with Mai for baby clothes and other items. He will smile to the baby and be happy to see their small smile.

Hideyoshi: He would glance at the baby then at Mai, then he will take the baby out of her arms and hold the baby himself. He will pamper the baby and be so kind and caring to the baby.

Ieyasu: He would ask if that really is his baby? He is too stunned when he learns he is the father, as he grumbles at first. But once he sees the baby smiling, it will make him smile as well.

Mitsuhide: He will steal the baby… I mean… um… he will take the baby and walk away. He won't let Mai see their baby, unless he teases her first that is. He will be super protective of their child.

Mitsunari: He will keep asking one zillion questions to Mai, like if that is his child or not. Or where that baby came from, etc. He will look so confused when Mai says he is the father… and probably faint on the ground.

Masamune: He will smirk at her and the baby, he will pick out outfits for the baby. Probably shorts and shirts that have sharks on them… or dolphins, or any sea creature, or maybe even shirts and shorts with forests on them.

Keiji: He will tell jokes to their child, even play peek a boo as well. Mai will laugh while Keiji does this, as he smiles even more.

Ranmaru: He will just pass out… when he learns he is a father. He's way too young for this!

Uesugi-Takeda alliance

Kenshin: He will ask at first if he needs to kill someone, then when she tells him that's their child, he calms down. He will love the child greatly, especially if it is a boy… since he doesn't really want a baby girl, but he will take care of a baby girl too.

Shingen: He will keep ticking the baby to get it to smile or laugh. He will ask to hold the baby, but of course Mai doesn't allow him to. She barely lets Shingen spend any time alone with the baby, fearing he might hurt the child. (Even in his route, Mai was rude to this man… and didn't even care he was crying. She didn't even hug him… and just allowed him to cry, who does that to someone they love?)

Yukimura: Just like Ranmaru, he will just pass out.

Kanetsugu: He will be super happy about this. He really wanted a child, even though he was so old. He often makes the baby smile, or spends time reading "The Art of War" to the baby… and Mai often tells him not to read that book to a baby!

Sasuke: He will probably make the baby a baby pen or something, since he actually knows how to make stuff. He will always smile at the baby and maybe even change the baby's diaper too.

Lone forces

Kennyo: He will be super protective of their child, he will make sure the child is always happy. He will often hold the baby alone in the room, or out in the forest. He will be so proud of himself for creating another living being.

Motonari: He will look at the child a bit, then he probably start playing with the baby's hands or feet gently with his fingers. He will even watch as Mai puts a diaper on the baby, and probably would do the same once he learns how.

Kicho: He will smile so much from this. He will love the child so much and keep holding the child in his arms, something he never got in his own life… and he would shower the baby with lots and lots of love.

Self care is finally bringing the Dear Evan Hansen merpeople AU you were obsessed with in middle school into a reality

And here’s the finished pieces for the main five! I absolutely adore them. Sea life is my special interest so I love mermaid AUs

My reasoning behind why they are each animal varys wildly. Some I thought about in depth some are for one stupid reason. If you’d like my full in depth design notes and character details and some lore ideas they’re bellow the cut. Feel free to scroll if you don’t want an in depth hyperfixation induced info-dump.

So starting out with Evan: when I first conceptualized this AU back when I was in middle school all I really had a concept for was Evan who I knew I wanted to be a dumbo octopus. Shy, camouflage to hide from predators, generally just silly little guys it felt right to me. I also thought Heidi should be an octopus for no particular reason and them both being in the same animal family would make sense. (I’ll get around to drawing the parents eventually Heidi will be a blue ringed octopus)

-he can change color and camouflage

- because Evan is only part Dumbo Octopus he’s actually taller than you would expect leaving Jared the shortest (because Evan is on the taller side I’ll die on that hill also Jared needs to be a short king I don’t make the rules)

Conner: so originally he was going to be a stingray like Zoe honestly for no reason other than aesthetic but I didn’t want them to be based on the same animal and I had a strong concept for Zoe already so I decided to change Conner. I originally didn’t want to do shark because it felt to obvious at first but sometimes obvious is the way to go. And now I’m so glad I changed it to great white because I liked the overlap of how sharks are viewed by society and how Conner is viewed by his peers. Violent, evil, dangerous but in reality just doing their best to survive and, yes, they do sometimes hurt people but it’s never done out of malice but out of confusion and a need to survive. (I live morally grey characters) I chose great white in particular because they’re the stereotypical “big scary shark” everyone would think of. I also think the color palette suited him.

- Conner is half stingray but you don’t see it in his appearance at all. He takes after his dad (Larry is a great white and Cynthia is a stingray. I’ll make drawings for them at some point promise)

Zoe: She was the one I had the clearest idea for and I was very excited (I love her) I knew I wanted her to be a spotted eagle ray so I could give her spots that look like stars. There was no consideration of her personality when making her a ray at first but it honestly makes sense. They’re graceful, but ultimately don’t like conflict. I see them as artsy creatures like if a sea creature was to go to play guitar it would be a stingray. Idk it just feels right to me.

-obviously Zoe is half great white but you can’t really tell. She is slightly taller than her mom and has extra spikes on her arms but that’s it.

Alana: I knew I wanted her to be a dolphin immediately. Smart, energetic, playful it just makes sense. Now what species I wasn’t sure of at first but then I thought a pink river dolphin and it was perfect. I associate her with pink for whatever reason. I think she looks nice with it. Her drawing is my favorite of the bunch. I’m most happy with her design too.

- I need a reason for a river dwelling species to be in the ocean with everyone else so idk just imagine she transfered for some reason

- in this AU we’ll assume that fresh and salt water doesn’t effect merpeople

Jared: I drew Jared last because I had no clue what I wanted him to be. I considered a turtle for a bit I think it would suit him looks wise but I also considered otter, clownfish, a crustacean of some kind (the list goes on) then I considered seal and had the thought of a selkie Jared butt naked running through the local village causing mayhem, stealing from convenience stores, dumpster diving outside a fish market, and generally being a menace and I couldn’t resist. This was actually what made me warm up to him as a character because it was so funny to me and I ended up really liking his design.

-seals don’t have paw pads by the way but I couldn’t help myself suspend your disbelief for me

I don’t have a lot of lore or story ideas as of yet for now they just kind of exist in a void. Idk this is so self indulgent I’m just having fun with it.

(As a side note I have not researched which ocean this AU takes place in and I don’t want to right now I’ll do it eventually though I promise)

Avalon Show Bible: Outcasts: Selkies and Merrow

Selkies

Ocean-dwelling outcasts who normally appear as seals but can transform into humans during specific phases of the lunar cycle or during equinoxes

When they transform, they shed their seal skin and hide it, because the only way they can transform back into their normal form is with the skin

If someone else were to find their seal skin and hide it, they would be trapped in human form, which they do not prefer

They live in close-knit family pods along the coastline and don't usually come into contact with other outcasts unless they run into one while in human form

They are generally playful and even charming, they enjoy coming ashore during the full moon, and meeting new people (and flirting with them)

They are hopeless romantics; they love seduction and mischief

They love music, festivals, parties, and romance

They also love to take trophies home with them, especially shiny ones. They'll often seduce a human, sleep with them, steal from them, and disappear back into the ocean

They almost never mean harm, but sometimes the chaos they cause can have consequences they don't consider, like broken hearts and missing valuables

Some have been trapped in their human forms by the person they were seducing when that person steals their skin and hides it, in these cases they'll often get married or even have children, but the selkie will be depressed and long to return to the ocean, if they ever find their seal skin they will immediately abandon their human families and return to the ocean

The children born in these situations are hybrids; they are more like shapeshifters than true selkies. They can often shift into different water animals like seals, dolphins, otters, fish, etc

Hybrids are not held back by skin, they do not shed it, or the lunar cycle; they can transform at will

In human form, they often have more aquatic features like webbed hands and feet, feel a strong connection to the ocean, and are exceptional swimmers

Merrow

Aquatic outcasts, similar to selkies, they live in the oceans and seas, but they are not tied to lunar cycles or seal skins

In their true form, they are half fish/half human; they are basically mermaids, and they have a sleek tail, usually green or silver hair, webbed hands, and can breathe underwater.

They rarely show these forms to humans, but can transform at will to appear fully human and walk among them

They tend to keep to themselves, but those who live near the coast often become curious and attached to the humans who live in the towns and cities on their coast

They are serious, contemplative, and protective

They see themselves as protectors of the underwater realm

The more empathetic among them will often try to warn fishermen or other humans of incoming storms or other dangerous conditions

Some do not like humans and will try to lure them into dangerous waters to drown them

They have beautiful voices which have been known to mesmerize humans, again, depending on their individual intentions, they can use this ability for good or for evil

Merrow hybrids are rare since they rarely find themselves in a position to have children with a human but they do exist

Merrow hybrids are generally one or the other, usually, but not always, a hybrid child born to a female merrow will be fully merrow and have the same appearance and abilities, while a hybrid child born to a female human with a merrow father will be fully human, although presenting some merrow like features similar to selkie hybrids but will not have a merrow form or be able to shift

Merrow are usually not found at Waystations, although they have been known to be helpful to Waystation personnel and other outcasts

🥺

Its going to be long so under the cut it goes, not really grammar checked and sorry if my ramblings dont make sense

Okay so my selkie/mer aus, i have two aus, but both have selkies

And I say selkie/mer au because i love selkies so much, and i also love fun mer aus, so i have two

But for the aus they do have one thing in common which i like, the kings being called sea kings(cause you know,,,, the seven seas) and the nobles and king being called pod

For each au they have different species but some will remain the same cause they just match so well(Like Sitri being a leopard seal selkie)

Selkies can be seals or sea lions, because they are both similar but different and also super fun

But also hybrid are fun, and for selkie au the selkie genes are dominant, and the children born from a selkie will be born a selkie, but if its a mix of a mer and selkie, they will still have some traits from the other parent, like shark mer and selkie would make a selkie that has even sharper teeth that can grow back and sharper claws and double peen if you want(also egging cause hehe)

And im stealing some fun things ive seen with selkies, like having three forms, an inbetween form of seal and human, but fur still all over and a human face, selkie spots that can match their pelt

For Belphie i gave him the Ribbon seal(which is a cool as fuck seal) and his tattoos are selkie spots that reflect the pattern on his fur, and also somewhere in his line someone mated with a remora mer and so yes Bephie can egg people up, and he is an extra lazy seal

For Satan as a harbour seal the barcode tattoo he has is replaced by spots of the pattern of his fur, and the cross on his forehead is there but looks more like a spot, like not just two lines but like, fuzzy like it was painted on by a paint brush with those fuzzy edges, but the cross is still there in seal and inbetween form

Mammon is an elephant seal selkie in the selkie au, the largest one and his markings are both on his seal form and human form

For Leviathan in the selkie au i gave him the mediteranian monk seal because they are rarer and also pretty cute, so still larger than Satan’s harbour seal

I dont have the other kings ready for selkie au but i do for mer au

Mer au i may combine some different types of species for the kings, but they will be within the same genus type

Like in my post before Beelzebub is a mix of a gulper eel and a moray eel. An eel without a ribcage and an eel with two mouths, such fun and gluttony

Satan is a mix of a great white and a thresher shark, a shark with a long tail that stuns their prey and a great white because he do be pale as hell

Mammon i’m debating on a koi fish or a gold fish, but i’m having him as a koi for now, and yes he is still bigger than Satan, nice pretty shimmering scales

Leviathan is an pacific giant octopus of course, so fun tentacle fun there

Asmodeus I like as a seahorse for the fact we will get HIM pregnant, but still deciding on other fish for him(seahorse is not confirmed)

Belphie in mer au i might have as still a selkie, cause its fun with the ribbon seal stuff

Lucifer is an orca, cause dolphins and orcas are bullies of the ocean, so fallen angels and angels will be in the dolphin and orca family, plus they use mobbing to bully other animals and can be found everywhere so its perfect that they can be found everywhere to attack the other sea kings

I love dolphins and orcas but they are the apex predators of the ocean, and they use their intelligence to bully other animals

For selkie au i might add in selkie colonies because the former Nifilim selkie colony where only Agares and Vassago survie could be fun, because orcas eat and kill seals and sometimes for no reason

Also for both aus, i may combine something from the whb game where they have a second bigger form called sea king form, still debating rn, but it’d be like how Satan before changed to his other form or Belphie to the giant skeleton form, but essentially means they can have another form and it can be a different type of species too maybe

Also they have some water magic like how in Mako Mermaids they cna control water, I do like that part, some are more gifted in the magical sense, some more just of the physical kind

But this is all i have really in my head rn for the aus, and reader and mc can be many different things, another mer, a human descended from a human that helped them way long ago(cause of course mer and selkie lifespans are different), the possibilities are endless 

Also can have some fun cxc too maybe, but i love mer and selkie aus so much, they rule my heart

[my-name-is-apollo]

Hello :3

I'm working in a little proyect… A comic (more like a graphic novel) of Artemis and Apollo stories, but i'm struggling with Apollo's lovers chronology 🫠

I will discard Daphne… I know if we took Ovid, she was his first love crush, but 1) She wasn't a lover, so… not a first love of Apollo :P And i want a romantic first love u.u 2) She is overrated, i want to give some credit to the underrated ones.

Then whe have Admetus, if we took the punishment for killing Python, but according to that, the Apollo's lover was Hymenaeus/Thessalian Hyacinthus… And i prefer the Spartan Hyacinthus and the version of Admetus servitude after killing the Cyclops.

There is Cyrene too… Apollo talking to Chiron about Cyrene was like a teenager falling in love, and could be his first enamourment. Also because he goes to Chiron to some advices. He wasn't sure about how to talk with Cyrene… Could be a first love.

And Branchus! I did read that Apollo saw him after coming from Delos riding a dolphin and… He was leaving Delos, his birth land, so could be a possibility of Branchus being the first love of Apollo. And Apollo was so smitten in this myth… He was so in love that got distracted and milk a billy goat LMAO That was a teenager in love! This also make me consider the idea of Branchus being his first love and boyfriend <3

I personally like him, but i also would consider Cyrene… And not having a chronology is makes the things hard. I need help… Please be my wise Chiron and give me your advices 🫡🙏

Oooh this one is a tough one!

About Daphne : understandable lol though yeah, I don't think you can exclude her entirely because the laurel tree was very sacred to Apollo and his cults.

Admetus is a bit tricky. On one hand, he is one of the argonauts, and their journey happens nearer to the Trojan war I believe, since Admetus' son participates in the trojan war. Adding to that, Asclepius' sons were also amongst suitors of Helen, and they participated in the war as well. So Apollo's servitude under Admetus for killing the Cyclopes also didn't happen early on in Apollo's life. But on the other hand, there is a version where Apollo had to serve for the act of killing the Python - which in most versions happens when he was a child - so he'd have been a pretty young god when he met Admetus. Adding to that, Hesoid has written the tale of Hermes stealing Apollo's cows when the latter was serving Admetus. The birth of Hermes and the cattle theft couldn't have happened just a few decades before the trojan war imo. So again, although in Hesoid's version Apollo falls in love with Hymenaeus, this version places the servitude fairly early on in Apollo's life. I used to hc is that since Admetus and Alcestis cheated death, they were allowed to live a very long life - this way I don't have to exclude any of the events that include him but happen at different times - but even that doesn't work because you need to fit Pelias (Alcestis' father and Jason's uncle) in the earlier part of the timeline and it just doesn't make sense :') so yeah, Admetus isn't the best choice either imo

Now onto Hymenaeus. I know theoi.com says that he is Thessalian Hyacinthus, but like. That's one interpretation. It's up to you to decide if they were the same person or not. Personally, I don't find the explanation given by theoi.com satisfactory and consider Hymenaeus and Hyacinthus different people. Hymenaeus would be a good choice. Not only is he mentioned by Hesoid, one of the oldest poets, this version also seems to place the event early on in Apollo's life like I've already said.

You can go for Hyacinthus too, especially if you want to ignore Hymenaeus. According to Callimachus, Apollo laid the foundation for Sparta. Given that Hyacinthus belongs to the first few generations of the Spartan royal family (2nd or 3rd) - it's possible that he was Apollo's first lover. Another detail is that, in the Homeric hymn to Demeter, Persephone is said to have been gathering flowers and one of them was hyacinth flowers! According to this, Hyacinthus' death happened even before Persephone married Hades.

Now Cyrene. I don't think she was his first lover. I've always imagined her to be one of the first few loves of Apollo...but if you look at the myths, the ones about their son Aristaeus seems to be set in a time closer to when Dionysus was born/lived on the earth. He is Dionysus' mentor/father figure in one version. He is also, in one version, responsible for the death of Eurydice (and Orpheus was a follower of Dionysus at that point). Aristaeus' son Actaeon is Dionysus' cousin, who was killed for peeping at Artemis. Also when Aristaeus was born, Hermes parades him around so...Cyrene must have happened after Admetus and Hymenaeus at least.

I've never given too much thought on where Branchus would fit tbh. But I looked up a bit more on him and - according to Strabo, Achilles' son Neoptolemus was killed by Machaereus, and Branchus was a descendant of Machaereus. But other than this, the myths I'd read on him don't involve any prominent mythical figures or events. If you wanna ignore Strabo's account, you can make him Apollo's first lover.

Of the lovers that you've mentioned, i think it'd be either Hyacinthus or Hymenaeus. Personally though, I've always imagined one of the Muses (or all of them at the same time? Haha) to be his first lover. It makes sense to me because he was trained under them.

All that said, I cannot pin point who his first lover was. Because we have contradicting versions, some of which you'll probably have to ignore if you want a coherent story. So which ones you want to ignore, I'll leave it up to you. I hope this helps you a bit!

[orcinus-veterinarius]

what type of training do you support like Force Free/R+ or LIMA or Balanced

So I will admit, I’m not overly familiar with the nuances of all these terms. Basically, I think animals should be trained without force or fear, which usually ends up looking like positive reinforcement and negative punishment. If force-free training can work with a 10,000 pound killer whale, it can work with a domestic dog.

(For any reading who may be unfamiliar with those terms, negative punishment isn’t as bad as it sounds. It simply means removing something desirable in order to reduce the occurrence of a behavior. For example, walking away from a puppy instead of petting them if they start biting.)

I dislike the use of aversives and force, and the only time I can think of positive punishment being appropriate is a legitimate life-and-death scenario. Some tools are going to be necessary for their safety and ours. Leashes, gentle leaders, etc. If it’s not causing active pain or discomfort, I think it can be part of a positive training approach. But I don’t think fear or punishment is necessary for effective training.

I definitely don’t claim to be perfect, and being in vet med, I know that sometimes you have to do make an animal do something it doesn’t want to for its own good. But that’s not the same as training (and training can reduce a lot of stress associated with the vet!) So that’s kind of my philosophy. @local-hellhound-steals-spaghetti is a dog trainer (former dolphin trainer!) and can probably articulate it better than me.

Boss Finn Headcannons

Out of every citizen out there besides Sylvia, Boss Finn often hangs out with Corsac. Not only Boss Finn finds not only Corsac's electric aura steady and risky for such a brave face, but he's the only one who appreciates Corsac's naturalist jokes... As long as it's water-related.

They do share a common hatred and fear of Dolphins. Finn hates it when they chase him around like a toy, steal his jewelry and collection, or even whip him hard enough for a big groan. Corsac, on the other hand, knew that sharks aren't as vile as dolphins, who were the actual tormentors of the sea. They are unpredictable and can be aggressive even when Corsac thought they were gentle and quiet. Whenever people spot Dolphins, they to stare at awe; however, Corsac and Finn only glare.

Boss Finn likes to scare Mint. It's like a big brother and little sister thing, and Mint finds it annoying. When he scared her at Halloween, she wished she could have a real scythe and slice him down like sushi. Boss Finn thinks she looks like a small pufferfish by the way her cheeks puff up at him.

Boss Finn canonically lives in a seaside shack, but that's his "Land" home while his real bed is in a lovely cavern beneath it. It's not a total wreck, but it's not too fancy either. He has the shack there to store his collection, TV, his pictures, one of sylvia's robes that she left after watch TV with him and he loves it so much like a blankie.

Boss Finn has many siblings, like Luna and Mint; however, due to their lack of parental figures and shark behaviors, they went out in their separate ways. They do write each other letters about their lives, and those who didn't.. Were probably dead.

Boss Finn used to spy on humans when he's young. He observes their behaviors, their rich goals, their fancy interests, and anything to give him a boost to the top of the human food chain. When he became a member of the underworld, he observed criminals and cons' predatory tactics to do the same.

Despite being big with ego, Boss Finn is very self-conscious of losing. His old group remind him constantly that winning is everything, and if a big shark like him fail at one thing, he's washed out. After Sylvia made him realize his new path, Boss Finn isn't afraid of losing anymore.... Especially if he has to deal with a blocky, cunning negotiator like Quinn a lot.

Boss Finn has a good talent on everything, including Make-up. He loves to put them on for Halloween, maybe some for tests, and when he and Sylvia became a thing, he put some on her as a gift! She gives him back with lipstick markings around his face~

Boss Finn is the leading champion of his people's swimming competition. They have to race across various reefs, dangerous currents, and life-threatening monsters, and those who aren't competitors cheer for the winner. This is one of the only competitions Boss Finn wouldn't cheat because he's a natural.

The only thing about the competition is that it's just a three-yearly thing and not some regular event. That's why Finn wants to pursue a business he wants to make for himself daily.

Boss Finn is a magnet to the underwater ladies and gents. They leave him offerings, try to flirt with him, and even would kill each other for him. After he became Sylvia's BF, Boss Finn tries to negotiate a plan to lessen the potential murders and jealousy... And lessen the attraction from other shark men who kept their predatory eyes on his girl.

He got into the Itsy Bitsy Kaiju obsession when he spied on a couple of teens talking about the cards and their costs. Finn then went to a hobby shop, and while searching, he discovered a pack of cards that smelled different from the rest. After opening it, he discovered a very rare card and was so proud of it. He still kept it in his binder to this day and TCG became his thing.

Boss Finn always has his hair tied cuz it takes him a long time to get it combed without tangles, and it's easier for him to comb a hold of his hair without a single loose strange on his forehead. He also likes it when Sylvia smothers her face in his hair, commenting how soft it is. He does use the best quality of shampoo and conditioner.

Finally, Boss Finn really wants to break the cycle of how shark parents aren't there for their kids. After he and Sylvia became a thing, he had dreams of having kids with her and giving them the best lives. He would spoil them, protect them, playfully scare them, and most of all... It felt like he can say "I'll always be there and I'll always love you." whenever he tucks them to sleep... Because for once in a shark's life, a father will be there to raise his kid.

snippet saturday (time is relative)

for the summer camp au- just started vomiting words out. this’ll be part of a series of how the 141 spends the 4th with their favorite camp workers

tags for friendship (bonks you on the head) @stellewriites @wraithdance @w00lgathering @ohlawdthebirds @cowboyshadows

a little sprinkling of ghost x oc, 2nd person pov present tense (can be read as x reader)

“Bonnie!”

You don’t look up from the worn romance novel in your lap. Birdie- who Soap is likely actually calling- sighs, setting down her Joan Didion. She blinks at Soap, and Soap shoots her a roguish smile, ragged at the edges.

“Everywhere I go, I see your face,” Birdie groans, but you smile at the fondness in her voice. No one is truly annoyed by Soap unless they’re exhausted or she’s encouraging their kids to put sticks in their mouths “for science”. “Can’t even get away from you on my time off.”

“Ach, come off it.” Soap plops down between you two, flashing you a similar roguish grin- not the same panty-melting one Birdie had received. “Pop.”

“Suds.” You see her face scrunch. The two of you had quickly devolved into calling each other nicknames of your nicknames- another, sacred level of friendship. The flame of attraction had gone out once you realized Soap’s heart was set on Birdie- and yet, you still found yourself leaning forward slightly. Soap glowed in such a way that you couldn’t help but feel your pulse thrum and your cheeks heat when she turned her sunshine gaze on you. She was magnetic. The love was simple, platonic. “What’d ya need?”

“Gaz said youse always take the 4th off.” Soap takes a long pull from the giant bottle of root beer on the floor of staff house. She pulls away, gagging slightly. “Tha fock is tha’ shite?”

“English, MacTavish,” you grunt fondly, and Soap reaches out to squeeze your hand.

“You stole that from Ghost,” Soap grumbles affectionately. Your cheeks warm just slightly at the name. “Anyway, I’ve come to invite myself along.”

“You were always invited anyway,” Birdie says, a slight flirty edge to her voice. “We know you well enough by now to know that you love blowing shit up on back roads.”

“Olive Garden, Red Robin or Cane’s?” You wipe a trail of blue Gatorade from your lips. Both of them sigh, the familiar list of chain restaurants echoing in the space. Since arriving in the states, it had been the goal of the American staff to corrupt their international cohort. Soap had discovered a fondness for St.Louis style barbecue- which hurt poor Birdie’s Texan heart- and Ghost never let on that he liked anything. Except the Papa John’s pizza with extra garlic dipping sauce he had shared with Gaz at the pool, making both their breaths smell rancid. The content groan that had escaped his lips when you went over to grab a slice still haunted your (sometimes salacious) dreams.

“What about that Mexican place? The one that Snoopy took us to, the one that doesn’t card?” Sunshine pipes up from her chair in the corner, laptop resting on her thighs. She grumbles in frustration- presumably, the WiFi went out again. Her summer classes were… going, as far as she could with the absolute shit internet on camp.

You, Birdie, and Soap exchange glances. “There’s nothing more American than stealing another culture’s food,” you concede.

“I was just planning on buying a couple shooters and pouring them into sodas, but your idea is way better,” Birdie says, taking a long drink from her water bottle. A high pitched squealing noise- a bit like a dolphin’s call- echoes through the room, and everyone bursts into laughter. She laughs, too, and hangs her head. “I need to fix that.”

“Just get another one, Mills,” you say, pulling out her nickname from real life. “You’ve had that bottle since, what, CIT summer?”

“It’s perfectly functional”, Birdie protests, wincing slightly when you and Sunshine give her a look. “Also, it’s got all my stickers.”

“It’s dented in five places,” Sunshine deadpans.

“Wakes me up in the middle o’ the night,” Soap grumbles. “Thought I had gotten out o’ that by staying with the older kids.”

Falling into your ocean eyes 🌊 | Orm Marius x Fem!Reader

Part 8

Warning : Dark jokes, harsh words, & fluffy

A/N : I’ve been very busy for past 5 days, AND actually I wrote and already put it in my draft, BUT SADLY it’s been deleted twice 😭😭 luckily I wrote this story in Notes from the start, so it’s still saved. but still annoyed 😭

for the previous part click here ➡️ masterlist

After rejecting Orm's proposal, their breakfast now becomes a little bit awkward. Y/N cooked pancakes with extra strawberries and blueberries around them, and on top of the stack of pancakes she poured honey.

When Orm tasted it, he couldn't deny that this was the most delicious breakfast he had ever eaten. Orm said in a low voice, “I like this.”

She smiled, "thank you. But this is the only food supply available. Later I want to go to the Grocery Store to buy some food supplies, and also...”

She looked at Orm who was devouring his pancakes. She continued, “I think you need some new clothes to stay on the surface longer.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary, Arthur gave me some of his clothes.” Orm replied looked down and looked at his T-shirt with the picture of a dolphin on it.

“No, I mean I want to buy you formal surface dweller clothes, like a shirt and tie. You can't possibly wear those T-shirt with pictures of whales or cartoons to go out every day.” said Y/N while looking at Orm, “you are Royal. Former King of Atlantis, I know-“

"Yeah I think that's necessary,” said Orm, “I want to buy it myself,” he took out the Atlantis coins that were in his pocket.

“Oh you can’t buy on the surface with that money,” she quickly grabbed the coins with her telekinetic powers, and turned them into dollar bills, “actually I shouldn’t do that, but those coins can’t changed in the Money Changer.”

After that conversations, they finished their breakfast and went out to buy some food supplies at the Grocery Store. When they stopped at Fresh Fish section, Orm's expression turned very cold and unfriendly.

She saw that Orm show his angry face, “You surface dwellers have polluted our seas, and stolen so much of our fish. Don't you know the impact that is happening in the sea there?”

Orm’s continue, “you already have your share on land, but you surface dwellers are selfish so you have to steal our fish, you even poison our children in the sea.”

The fishmonger looked at Orm sharply, thinking that the blonde man in the shirt with a cartoon dolphin was a weirdo.

“Oh, please ignore him, he has a mental disability.” said Y/N, taking Orm's hand to leave the Fresh Fish section

“What does that mean?” Orm asked in a suspicious tone.

“I saved you so you wouldn’t look like a freak.” She answered while holding Orm’s hand like other married couples who were shopping for groceries

While at the cashier and she was about to prepare her dollar bills, Orm held her hand softly so she wouldn’t pay for her purchases. When the cashier told him the amount of money, Orm gave his money from his pocket.

Orm brings their bags from Grocery Shopping. The air temperature is quite cold even though it is summer now. However, she saw that Orm didn’t feel cold or anything even though he’s wearing a thin t-shirt.

“Wow, you’re looking more and more like a surface dweller now.” She said in her mocking tone.

“I honestly hate it here, the surface still fucked up for me. But do you know what keeps me here?”

Y/N raised an eyebrow, then Orm continued, "You. You’re the one who keep me here. But I want you to do the same as me...

“At least before I actually propose to you to be my wife, I want you to know where I come from. Not like last time..."

Y/N laughed softly at the last sentence Orm said, “yeah, it's definitely not like the last time. It was really sucks.”

“I wish we could go to Atlantis freely, Orm… but in reality we still have to be on guard, you remember that you are still in exile, right?" said Y/N as they entered the van.

Orm looked at her face closely, through his very beautiful and unreal ocean eyes... making Y/N give up because she was lost in the reverie of Orm's eyes, “Okay, we're going to the beach now. The most near,”said Y/N in a low voice then started driving her van.

When they arrived at the beach which was busy with tourists because it was at the end of town, Orm didn’ seem to mind this even though he honestly hoped that Y/N would take them to a quiet and more romantic sea coast.

They both walked on the sand. The weather was quite hot, the combination of the sun and Orm’s ocean blue eyes in front of her made Y/N silently stunned. Orm Marius was almost perfect. Physically, blonde hair, handsome face, a sly smile that he had first met, but now she longed for a pull from Orm’s lips that painted a smile on his face. Orm’s body is very proportional, a body that has slept with her. Only her. the voice that originally issued cruel orders but now became very gentle.

She couldn’t ask for anything better.

Orm held Y/N’s hand very gently when they started treading water on the beach. The two of them continued walking and Orm motioned for the two of them to enter the beach.

Entering the sea was the second thing Y/N had done and the first time didn't end well, it even left her in a coma, but somehow Y/N agreed to this.

Orm’s ocean eyes merged into the ocean, looking harmonious and that’s when she realized that Orm looked more beautiful when he is in the ocean.

“You know we can’t dive any further even to Atlantis, you’re still in exile, I don’t want to get you into trouble.”She said in a voice underwater.

“We won’t get into trouble, darling.” said Orm kissed her hand gently.

“You guys need a ride?” Y/N heard Arthur’s voice from inside his ship which for some reason she could hear.

She didn’t understand what was happening, but Orm said, “Let’s go. I want to show you something.”

“Honestly, what's going on here? I don’t understand?”Y/N asked in confusion when she entered the ship.

“You’ll see.” Orm said smiling at Y/N then the ship drove quickly towards Atlantis.

When they set foot in that place in Atlantis, Y/N was still confused about what was happening in that place. Y/N could see a magnificent room filled with shades of red, which was actually her favorite color, a color that somehow matched her magic power.

Mera, her sister smiled then quickly took Y/N’s hand towards the changing room.

“Come on, hurry up and put this on.” Mera said then she changed her clothes in the changing room into very elegant red wedding dress. Mera did something to Y/N’s face that seemed different from what women would do on the surface.

In short, Y/N came out of the place, finding Orm smiling broadly at his future wife. “You’re so beautiful.” Orm mumbled, his ocean eyes kept looking at Y/N. He couldn’t look away. All he saw was her.

Her.

She also could see Orm returning in his typical Atlantean clothes, with his armor, which gave her deja vu because Orm looked like himself when he was still the King of Atlantis, but the difference was...

He fell in love. Truly sincere love.

“Well, this is honestly beyond my expectations, the way you married me.” said Y/N, who for some reason was the happiest bride at the moment, even though it had not been 24 hours since she rejected Orm's proposal, but she felt confident more than anything.

Let’s say that this might be too soon. Very fast. It all started when he saw a husband and wife couple holding each other at the supermarket, then he himself practiced it directly. Orm knew that Y/N really wanted him to marry her, but he realized that his proposal before was wrong.

King Nereus said breaking the silence, “My daughter, I’m sorry that all this time I have been a father who never appeared in your life. I am aware of that, but this is the only thing I can do for you.”

Mera smiled at her father, “Father is right, he did this all for your marriage. But the most important thing is, he did it for you.”

Y/N smiled at her father, then Mera, Queen Atlanna, Arthur, then her gaze turned to her future husband, Orm.

“Let's speed up this wedding, I can’t stay in the Ocean for a long time.” She said.

“Oh I can make you stay here for a long time, darling.”Orm said with a smirk face, as if he was planning something.

“I wish I could but you do realize my fucking van is still on the surface right?” said Y/N.

the end…

Actually I kinda want to make a sequel to this story, it will probably be full of smut😉.
