#sekai singing mermaids au

[kerizaret]

@theguardianace why just the set?? They ARE mermaids!!

He's teaching her jellyfish facts

[sakitenmaenjoyer]

4 the fic ask thing if u want to share info on any or all of them I would clap and cheer

fuck yeah

emunene little mermaid au: ive talked about this like once, but it's basically what it sounds like. emu is a princess; nene is a mermaid

plot stuff, emu goes on a ship, emu is saved by nene when her ship goes down, and she's very !!!! when she realizes that nene is the one with the singing voice she'd been hearing right after her grandpa died. unfortunately she is half delirious when she's saved and doesn't remember how nene looks. emu vows to look for the beautiful lady with the beautiful voice....

ruinene and emukasa would be the platonic pairings in the fic. i considered having tsukasa be emu's fiance? if only to parallel the original story. nene won't stab tsukasa. probably. but she does find him deeply annoying at first. he and emu might be close enough to consider a marriage of convenience...still havent figured that part out yet. nene gets less annoyed by tsukasa when she sees why he's emu's friend

rui is the sea witch, and he helps nene become temporarily human.

i dont have any of it fleshed out but i want to do something with the idea so bad. emu dragging nene to see the sights of the human world and to socialize.......nene being emu's company for longer than either knew. nene realizing the value of her voice when it's gone....she thought being silent wouldn't be any different from normal, but emu made her want to talk, and to sing, to yell and laugh. she wants to have an our happy ending moment with emu but she can't

rui angst fic/TtSaB/Working Title: "When faced with the unthinkable, Rui struggles to navigate old feelings and new fears. Fortunately, he has his friends by his side... it's just a matter of letting them in."

this is a fic ive been chipping at had since curtain call came to en LMAO. i asked 'hey can i have curtain call rui please please please ill write and post that fic idea i have' and rui came home in a single pull. so im legally bound to write and post it eventually. here's some of the scenes ive done

actual dogshit writing lmao. but yeah this fic is more serious than any of my other prsk ideas. i wanted rui to have at least one important scene with each wxs member, because their friendship is at the core of this. also wanted to include the vocaloids bc it's not project sekai without them....even if the idea of talking about your personal problems to hatsune miku is. well.

the plot and title is under wraps for the time being, but here's my notes on how i want to characterize rui

the fic should be 8 chapters. It's teetering between a Teen Rating and a Mature Rating, but I should probably write the rest before deciding anything...

other:

whenever im bored, i format unwritten fic ideas into stories on ao3. ive written absolutely almost nothing for either of these, but it's nice to imagine i have lmao

But I'm Still Here: Saki goes invisible, and everyone around her proceeds to freak out as they search for the 'missing' girl. includes tsukasa ping ponging between 'we'll find her, we have to' and 'it's so fucking over', leo/need trkes and failing not to fall into depression, and saki feeling guilty that Everyone's lives are put on hold for her. the original idea was set before they debut, but maybe it should be after (so toya would have surpassed rad weekend already lmao).

everyone who adores saki makes themselves sick with worry. especially since it lasts about a week. tsukasa has not been that anxious in his fucking life. he's coping...fine. he's doesn't throw himself down while wailing at least. and he doesnt vomit from stress (preventing both takes a lot of self control). leo/need try to be strong for each other, but they are all sad shivering dogs. shiho wants to punch to be useful but knows she can't do anything. ichika tries to stay hopeful, like saki would want. honami tries to be their calm leader...but theyre like, 16/17, so theyre all just anxious.

Phthonus: Rui is envious and sad the fic, rip bozo. it'd be an introspective fic. i'd want rui to subconsciously compare and contrast himself and bakuno, and come to the realization that tsukasa (romantically) likes the parts of bakuno that rui doesn't have (bakuno's timidness, his lack of confidence, his acting, his ability to not annoy tsukasa lmao). but he also has traits that rui does have (his passion for theatre, obsession with writing stories, talent above his age range, the ability to bounce ideas off of tsukasa)

tsukasa still loves rui, but he never saw him in a romantic light. if he ever did, then it's too late....tsukasa set his eyes on bakuno and went "i can fix him". and unfortunately, tsukasa isn't polyamorous. rui deals with the heartache every time he sees tsukasa, even though it hurts him. he loves him too much to ever look away

uhh other stuff without titles-

bakuno/tsukasa fic, maybe a kotaro/akito fic. they would be in a series about the npcs waxing poetic about the ocs. throw in some pairings like miyake & rui, otori siblings & emu, yukki and mizuki, nagi and an....but the first fic would be bakukasa because i like them a lot lmao

Another rui is jealous fic, but it ends in rks- bakuno and tsukasa sign up to be gay lovers in a short film and rui's clenches his teeth and tries not to mope over it. (he is the one that asked them to do it) he does not know why and thinks there's something wrong with the film/acting rather than himself. he's stupid. meanwhile tsukasa is slowly realizing he likes men bc of gay research he did... and while he thinks bakuno is cute, he's immediately hit in the face that he likes rui a Lot.

saki in mogami land fic- saki gets isekaid in a hell world where everyone hates her/doesn't know her. i cant decide yet. maybe both. tsukasa and her parents say mean shit to her, ichika avoids her, her favorite idol doesn't even know who she is. the ending is her going back to her normal world, where she proceeds to be crushed by tsukasa and her parents (she went missing for a week. tsukasa cries the hardest at her reappearance... though her parents aren't too far behind) this is another "i want to show saki how loved she is by taking it away from her" fic

ruikasa are fucking dumb fic - tsukasa confesses to rui, they get together, and then things go down hill because neither know how to act in a new relationship. tsukasa wants to be a good boyfriend, so he treats rui differently (in a way that bothers rui). he's probably sweet and nice and doting, which rui like, but it feels more like a role tsukasa wants to perfect. rui wants tsukasa to be himself. at the same time, rui also wants to be a good boyfriend, but becomes aware that he has no idea how to do that...so instead he subconsciously tests their relationship, wondering just how far he could push tsukasa to get him to go back to "normal". the conclusion is that theyre stupid and just needed to adjust and realize nothing changed

future wxs meets present wxs - there r so many ideas i have for this it'd fucking ridiculous. the most prominent one is future rks meeting present wxs. another one is 3rd anni tsukasa meeting pre wonder magical showtime tsukasa

wxs takes care of child wxs - due to sekai bs, there are teenage wxs and child wxs. they all take turns and interact with the kids...tsukasa and baby rui & nene and baby rui would be cute i think. my ideas are

1) baby rui getting sad that tsukasa said his ideas are too dangerous (he's literally five and wants to jump from a high place). tsukasa feels guilty about his sad little face and offers to do it for rui. cue rui's excitement that an adult wants to try his idea

2) baby rui looks at grown nene like a proud parent and says 'i'm so proud of you nene' and nene goes 'you're literally five. also youve told me that before.' she still says thank you though, bc it's cute and she's fond

child/middle school wxs meets emu's grandpa - rakunosuke shows up during difficult times in tsukasa/rui/nene's lives and helps them smile. none of them remember him, but during that moment, he's a bright light. maybe some emu/rakunosuke parallels?

kamiyama group during mizuki5 - i made a post abt this already, but a silly fun fic to what fun everyone had at the festival. nobody knows mizuki is suffering. very bittersweet

saki helps tsukasa get ready for a date with rui - saki gives tsukasa questionable dating advice and tsukasa ends up botching date with rui (rui doesnt care). includes tsukasa trying to be a gentleman, saki getting love advice from manga and magazines, and rui having a good time watching tsukasa fumble be a gentleman

arcland rui - canon rui wakes up in universe where he joined arcland and asahi. it shows an alternative path rui could have taken, and how that path would have been every bit as valid as keeping wxs together

...unfortunately, rui isn't happy with this because wxs disbanded and he doesn't talk to them as often. he doesn't even go to school with them anymore. (also he has a situationship thing with asahi And tsukasa but he doesn't notice either of them lmao)

i probably have others but these are the ones that come to mind first...hope this is all okay!

マーメイド幻想 ～Mermaid Fantasy～

マーメイド幻想 ～Mermaid Fantasy～ あ～るの～と (R-Note) 東方ストラッシュ！ Vocals: 藤宮ゆき (Yuki Fujimiya) Arrangement: クサノユウキ and らんてぃ (Yuki Kusano and Ran T) Lyrics: 芳葉 (Yoshiba) Original Song: 秘境のマーメイド (Mermaid from the Uncharted Land) Event: Comiket 86

Wakasagihime is a normally quiet, peaceful youkai mermaid who lives in the Misty Lake, singing songs of love and picking up stones.

[kerizaret]

The T in Tenma Tsukasa stands for Total Loser actually

[kerizaret]

You're making me want to share abt this au again even tho I was a bit skeptical for a while. I do have some old art of it still ig... and I did have the plot planned quite further...

[labmousegirl]

Tsukasa:

Togepi- A reference to his nurturing personality, but unevolved due to his struggles making personal relationships (same reason SEKAI was born), it evolves over his key events

Raichu- He probably got a Pikachu as a kid because they were popular

Buneary- Both a reference to him wanting to be a star since Buneary was one of the OG contest Pokémon, but also a reference to Tsukasa being difficult at first since Buneary’s base friendship stat is 0

Ninetails- Vulpix was a gift from Emu when he first joined her at PXL, it evolves into Ninetails during the 88 ☆彡 event

(Galarian) Ponyta- Horse

Clefairy- Star motif Pokémon; his entire family raises them. Saki has a Cleffa as her partner. 

Emu:

Torchic- Every member of the Ootori family inherits a Torchic when they’re born. Her brothers’ Blazikens have fully evolved since they use them so much, but Emu’s hasn’t evolved at all yet since she hasn’t had the chance to be active in the family business.

Flaaffy- I really like the idea of her having an electric type Pokémon because of how PXL lights up as a solution to the first WXS arc, and how it makes her less sad about the sky getting dark and the day ending.

Wigglytuff- A very dear Pokémon who performed and put on shows with her so she wouldn’t have to do it alone before meeting the rest of WXS

Drifloon- I think it’s a really good bittersweet Pokémon to acknowledge that Emu’s story really is centered around grief and mourning, but also in the aesthetic of something fun since she channels that grief into taking care of PXL

Bewear- This is her bodyguard in this AU

Mime Jr. - Look me in the eyes and tell me I’m wrong

Nene:

Glaceon- An Eevee she’s had ever since she was a child, but it never evolved because she stopped going outside and experiencing things. She didn’t know who she wanted to be, so neither did Eevee. It evolves the night of the Christmas performance, when she stands on stage and sings again for the first time, and Glaceon makes it snow out of joy. (Also those teals PERFECTLY match)

Cottonee- Honestly I just think it looks like her, but I think a grass/fairy type also fits really well (grass because of her name, fairy because of her love of fairytales). I think she’s had it since she was young and got it from her parents.

Goldeen- A gift from Rui when they were kids, an allusion to the side story where Rui talks about how Nene would try to talk to fish when she was younger because she wanted to be a mermaid princess.

Gorebyss- Acquired sometime during the mermaid event, I’m thinking as a gift from her idol since Gorebyss can only evolve when gifted.

Cherrim- Found during the island event, it helps her through her dilemma. They like seeing each other shine.

Pachirisu- She has at least two cards where she’s a squirrel– electric type for gamer reasons. She’s literally that one guy who swept a tournament with a Pachirisu.

Rui:

Toxtricity- Look at it

Durant- Robots and bugs are his two favorite things, he would have an ant farm of these if he could

Magneton- Self explanatory, I feel as though this would be the Pokémon given to him when he was young, especially since his father works in robotics too.

Frosmoth- Evolves the same night as Nene’s Glaceon (since it can only evolve at night from high friendship), Nijiro Stories moment (”the voice singing next to me gave me the ability to grow wings”)

Mimikyu- A tie-in to his first event, he gets it sometime during Halloween; an allusion to him being a misfit but given unconditional love from his friends.

Lairon- Rui canonically trash dives in scrap yards so I think one day in his lonelier years he would find an Aron there and take it home and start feeding it scrap metal. Eventually it evolves and ends up being very helpful with heavy lifting.

the post broke so my explanations will be in a reblog

[kerizaret]

OK OK I think I can share something more for mermaid au

Enter Emu and Nene ☆☆

I think, when I find a moment of time and motivation, I'll do a brief introduction post about wxs and who they are here etc and then I'll see how it goes next!

[kerizaret]

Guess who impulsively doodled her singing mermaids au at midnight again instead of working on the comic she had planned!!

[kerizaret]

Sekai Singing Mermaids AU - Introduction

This took a while but here it is! I tried to keep it brief and mostly general info. Some information is intentionally not developed on

[All text visible on images is transcribed below in case my handwriting is unreadable]

In the ocean near a small seaside town there's an underwater kingdom inhabited by merfolk whose magical powers come from their singing. They are born with voices capable of turning into spells when sung out in the right way. Their life and duties revolve around this ability, which is their tool needed for survival.

The merfolk are at odds with humans for years now, both sides hurting the other out of hatred and fear. For that reason mermaids generally avoid coming to the surface since they know they'll be chased off or worse.

The merfolk includes characters like:

• Rui 🎈

Mermaid who can't sing

Because he's unable to use mermaid magic born from their singing, he's considered a "failure" and "weird", isolating him

He invented magic born from silence while swimming in the ocean depths, but it got labeled as dangerous

Lonely

Swam to the surface (which is considered dangerous) lured in by a beautiful singing voice he's never heard before

• Nene 🤖

A talented mermaid with a powerful voice

Her talent got recognised and she's trained by Seiryuin Sakurako, a famous mermaid sorceress

Because of Sakurako's bad experience with humans in the past, she installed a fear of them in Nene, who is now extremely wary of the surface world and sees humans as threats

Rui's her friend who first noticed her talent and encouraged her to develop it

She's very protective of him

• Seiryuin Sakurako

A talented and powerful mermaid sorceress

Very influential

Hates humans because they hurt her in the past

• Asahi Genbu

Powerful mermaid prince

In charge of the kingdom

On the other hand, in the small town, humans live hearing tales of dangerous mermaids luring people with their cursed voices into the ocean to drown. They are encouraged to stay on guard when venturing deeper into the sea, even though no mermaid has been seen near the shore for years.

Amongst humans we meet:

• Tsukasa 🌟

Human from a small seaside town

Loves to sing for the townspeople

Wants to leave for the big city and make a name for himself as a singer

People say his voice has an unique ability to pull them in and make them smile

Saves money to travel by singing in cafés and at festivals until he's old enough

Often hangs out by the seaside with a sick-ish Saki and sings for her

Fears mermaids because of tales told in the town

Can't swim (loser)

• Emu 🍬

Daughter of the seaside town's mayor

Her grandpa was friends with a mermaid, but later drowned, which her family blamed on the mermaid betraying him

She thinks the mermaid was innocent but failed to convince her family

Her goal is to make humans and merfolk get along like the town's past records show

Organises festivals to convince people to stay in the town after some started leaving out of fear of merpeople

Often sponsors Tsukasa to sing because of his voice encouraging people and making them happy

• Emu's dad (& brothers)

Town mayor

Increased the shore's security against merfolk by patrolling it regularly after the incident with Emu's grandpa to keep people safe

Emu's brothers help him out

Shosuke especially hates mermaids a lot and is trying to discourage Emu from her "peaceful fantasies"

• Saki

Tsukasa's sister

Often gets sick ever since one incident in her childhood

Works at their parents' café whenever she can

Loves to play at the beach and listen to Tsukasa's singing

And then Rui swims out to the surface... but what happens next is for a different time!

As a bonus, I also made a little relationship chart of W×S dynamics at first in this au

🎈 -> 🌟 I envy your beautiful voice

🌟 ->🎈 Surprisingly, you're good company

🌟 -> 🍬 Thank you for supporting me!

🍬 -> 🌟 Your singing makes the town happy!

🤖 -> 🌟 Don't you dare hurt Rui

🌟 -> 🤖 What about hurting me?!

🍬 -> 🎈 Please help me reconcile humans and merfolk

🎈 -> 🍬 You're not scared of me?

🤖 -> 🍬 You can't trust an Ootori

🍬 -> 🤖 I want to befriend you

🎈 -> 🤖 I hope you can see past your fear

🤖 -> 🎈I don't want you to get hurt

I hope this suffices for now and that you had fun ^^

[kerizaret]

Some of you liked the mermaid au sketches and I'm happy to hear that ♡

I still have more and i kind of want to show them but I'm unsure if I should? Or how to do it?

I doodle very random moments from the whole plot whenever I feel like it, and recently this au turned out into a kind of longer story. So some of them kind of show moments that happen later on. And I don't know if I can just share them like that? With no context? Would that be spoilers? Would that ruin the fun? Should I organize them? Post in order? Should I sketch more to fill in the gaps? Should I not share and wait till I write it all first? (which can either take ages or happen never–)

The ones I shared before are already disorganised and all but. Can I just do it like that???

I don't know how to do this hhhh
