Honestly it's kinda funny how big part of the fandom believes in loser Sanji and rizzer Zoro as if Sanji didn't pulled 2 girls in his introduction Arc (in front of their dates too lol) and Zoro pulled 1 girl in entirity of the canon if I remember correctly
In Zoro's defence may be that he doesn't exactly try + baths once a week but still, canon lol

wait wild thought but xiao in a siren au like my childe au... like xiao is a siren whose god and contractor and reason for living just recently died, and you're a simple villager who lives on your own a little away from a village and close to the sea. he's hesitant to interact much with a human because of the cursed weight of all the lives he's taken, but something something and eventually gets attached to you—he's been living as a weapon for so long that he doesn't know how to cope with not having someone to serve, in some way, and all he knows is how to follow and live by orders and he can't help the way he starts seeing the one person who treats him like an equal as his new reason for living. he starts offering you blessed charms that'll protect you, he goes from showing up occasionally to waiting in the area in case you want to see him, then you notice he's taking anything you say as an order, and then he trades in his tail for human legs to ensure he can properly protect you, so he doesn't have to lose someone he holds dear again. he's so used to suffering with no comfort—the pain he feels every time he takes a step is of no consequence. it doesn't even matter to him that he's abandoning his post and duty. maybe the curse is finally starting to corrupt his mind too? he can't bring himself to care anymore, not when all that matters is you.

Pearl Eye
A Sleuth Jesters MerMay Fic
Movement. A mer swims overhead, speaking to someone, blocking out the starlight. The interloper lays a hand on the rim of the entrance but doesn’t look down just yet, and doesn’t see you, red-handed. Your gut clenches with the urge to flee, your strength already spent in the fight moments earlier, and you heed the warning.
Word Count: 10,800~ Warnings: Blood and injury, violence, weapons, bruises, angst, threats of violence, death, possessive behavior, obsessive behavior, killing, and suggestive themes.
A/N: *shows up late to MerMay with Starbucks and sunglasses* I made it! I'm so excited to share this one shot with you! It's more of the usual for the Sleuth Jesters crew, just shoved into the ocean and fish-ified. The world-building has been tweaked to fit this setting as it's less formal and less organized, but Sun and Moon are still the equivalents of detectives, Eclipse as a mafia boss, and Y/N is doing the usual vigilante shtick.
Eclipse's octo design is based on @xitsensunmoon's art which you should absolutely check out right here! I cooked up some mer designs for Sun and Moon, but they're a lot less tentacle-y (kind of).
There's a lot I ended up not going into for this universe, but if you have questions or want to know more, you can always shoot me a question here!
Merry MerMay! Enjoy ♥

Yoooo, can we get poly mermaid submas x golden koi fish reader? I love them both so much and can't choose lol.
Poly Mermaid Submas x Gold Koi Mermaid Reader
Mermaids are members of societies like other monsters. With recent times, there's been progress made for mermaids to live on land, in special aquatic rooms and custom made magic wheelchairs, allowing them to travel freely among the others.
Mermaids could never really become human but that doesn't limit their abilities as society members. Mermaids regulate and maintain the balance of nature in the ocean waters, ensuring coexistence.
Mermaids have stood out in modern society due to their monarchy. 5 kingdoms for 5 oceans.
The twins would so happen to be two very lucky shark mermaid twins. Shark Merfolk often go through a difficult pregnancy so to have a pair of twins is extraordinarily lucky.
The crown title of princes naturally go to both of them. Their father naturally is the king. As much as the king loves his sons, they can be quite a handful when it came to the topic of their potential marriage.
That is until they saw you one day.
You were a gold koi mermaid stopping to visit the kingdom the twins were going to inherit one day. Your brilliant tail and fins shine brilliantly under the ocean light. Your scales were iridescent and your eyes were just the same, reflecting light like crystals.
Emmet is never quite that good at introducing himself so he swam up to you in a speed you hadn't seen before and loudly introducing himself in his usual manner, "I am Emmet!" To disgruntled Ingo who comes after him soon after.
You aren't a noble but you're actually the knight of the princess mermaid that was coming to see the twins today. She too was disdainful towards the potential arranged marriage and refused to swim out of her hiding spot. Though you take your knightly duties very seriously, when it came to the princess, you tell them that it's much like having a younger sister. The princess would be a squid mermaid and had camouflaged herself in the royal garden so you were simply waiting for her to be ready to show up.
But as you talked to the twins, they were much more eager in you rather than the princess. In fact you spent all day with them until the princess came out of hiding, shyly admitting that she was hungry.
You lightly make fun of her, but she's quick to change her mind when you entice her with human food. Before you bid farewell to the twins, she loudly shouts across the water, "HEY DO YOU WANNA MARRY MY GUARD" before you drag her away up to the surface with her tentacles flailing. "HE'S SIIIIIIINGLE" she yells as her voice gets more distant.

We all know Buck is entirely Golden Retriever coded ,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But he's also orange cat coded in my humble opinion .
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's silly and reckless , jumps without thinking , but he's also incredibly sweet and independent , he wants ( pets ) praise but doesn't outright ask for it most of the time , he's so loveable and soft but at the wrong times he'll push you away . He's so cat coded actually .

i was having a chuckle to myself last night about Gristol, and how his plans are basically:
Restore Ford Cruller's memory
Find Maligula
???
Profit
but then... of course they are, right? this is Gristol we're talking about. Fatherland Follies drives home again and again that he's still operating on a child's logic, a warped and reductive version of the world that he never bothered to grow out of. both of his memory vaults center on the images of his childhood, this idealized version of the past that he clings to no matter what. and that's still how he remembers Maligula, too - as this saviour figure, who rushes in to help him when he's in trouble.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: Two slides from Gristol's memory vault, Glory to Grulovia! Left: Gristol clings to Maligula's back as she summons waves to sweep away his assailants. Right: Gristol and Maligula waving from a balcony as the people cheer. Gzar Theodore brandishes a dagger in the background.]
like so much else, Maligula represents a return to this idyllic childhood - to the peace and simplicity of his youth, when he was free from worries and responsibilities. in his mind, he doesn't need to make any further plans - once Maligula's back, everything will go back to normal. Maligula will make everything better.
...is what i thought, but then i remembered this line:
Tumblr media
[Screenshot source. ID: Gristol, in Truman's body, bows on his hands and knees in front of the newly-awaked Maligula. The caption reads: "Yes, High Priestess! I am here to correct the mistakes made by my father!"]
and that's kind of interesting, right?
to be clear: this happens directly after Maligula sees Helmut-in-Gristol's-body, and recognises him. her line before this is:
"Little Gzesaravich! Have you come to pay for your father's sins?"
my first thought was that Gristol hadn't expected to still be in Truman's body by the time he managed to find Maligula, and this was him trying to placate her and buy some time until he could explain the situation. but watching the cutscene back, that's clearly not what's happening here. Gristol is answering as himself, and his response of throwing himself to his knees before her is, as far as i can tell, genuine.
so what is going on here?
in Fatherland Follies, there's this line in the ride narration that stuck out to me:
"Why didn't the Gzar help Maligula in her time of need? No one knows, but historians agree - it is Gzar Theodore's biggest failure."
other lines mention Gzar Theodore's "mistake", and it's wording Gristol himself echoes in the screencap above. evidently, he believes that his father abandoned Maligula, leaving her to her fate at the hands of the Psychonauts, and it was that mistake that lead to them being driven out of the country - that mistake which he seeks to correct. maybe he even feels like he has a debt to repay to her for his family turning their backs on her all those years ago.
the 'High Priestess' thing, though - that's kinda weird, and threw me for a loop the first time i played the game. it took me until my second playthrough to connect the dots, and remember how the room in the Lady Luctopus - Gristol's room - was full of Delugionist scribblings and symbols.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Screenshot source. ID: left, the walls of the hidden backroom in Gristol's hotel suite, covered in scrawlings of eyeballs and Maligula's name. Right, the pinboard from the hidden backroom. On its surface are photographs and newspaper clippings connected by pieces of string.]
i mean, look at this stuff! he had a whole conspiracy board and everything!
we learn very little about the Delugionists and their beliefs as a whole during the game, but i think drawing the connection here suggests two important things. one: that Gristol was in deep with this stuff. i don't know how he linked up with them - maybe via old family connections, or just good old-fashioned digging (we know he's skilled at worming his way into peoples' good graces, after all) - but it seems likely that he's begun to internalise their ideas, maybe even warping his own memories of events. and two: the Delugionists themselves are, if you'll pardon the pun, pretty far off the deep end.
like... i understand why PN2 didn't go heavy on the "mass-murderer cult worship" aspect of things, in the end, but man this is such a tantalising glimpse into the wider mythos around Maligula. Gristol is proud and haughty and thinks himself above everyone else; the fact that his first reaction seeing Maligula is to throw himself to the ground at her feet says so much about the way he's come to see her. he's not just trying to bring back Maligula, his childhood bodyguard. he's trying to bring back Maligula, the High Priestess of the deluge, the semi-mythical figure whose supporters believe even death couldn't stop. he doesn't even flinch at the way she confronts him, and maybe it's because he's bought in so completely to this deified figurehead, this idea of Maligula; more a living force of nature than a person. and it all comes back to the same place: an abdication of responsibility, not just to the person who protected him when he was little but to this avatar of floods and destruction. Maligula will make everything better.
i'd write more about my thoughts on the Delugionists but that'd be taking a hard turn into speculation, and this is already kind of long and rambling so i'd better end it here. but what an unexpected and evocative line, right? it's some of the only stuff we have to go off of regarding the Delugionists as a whole, but i think it does such a good job of hinting at the wider story - at teasing another layer to the mythos surrounding Maligula, one whose ripples we see throughout the game but which never quite breaches the surface.
#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#bored waiting at the airport so you get more psychonauts meta from me#the delugionists have been on my mind recently (because i Might Just have an upcoming au lorepost about them and also cults are fun)#so tossing my thoughts up here because people seemed to like the last few times i did this#and also it's my blog and i like to talk :)#related vent i HATE drafting posts in the tumblr editor because if you hit crtl+z to try and undo a formatting change#it deletes like half the post you just typed out#(yes i did it again while i was writing this. yes i'm still salty. why do i even bother)#what else... this is just becoming a disconnected thoughts dump#but if you've seen my posts you knew what you were signing up for when you hit the button to expand the post tags#there's new art coming hopefully this weekend if i can get it finished! it's more mermaid au designs#i'm two and a half weeks late for mermay but it turns out starting a new job and moving house doesn't leave you with a ton of free time#but that's okay it's never too late for mermaids#omg and artfight's coming up next month too! geez#i gotta make refsheets for the fsau trio because i would LOVE to get art of them#and this year i don't have a thesis to crunch on so i might actually have time to participate#oh and then in august i'm having top surgery! will make a proper announcement post for it at some point#i say 'announcement'. it's just a life update but it's nice to share#i'm super excited about it :)#i might end up blogging the process and recovery but obviously it won't be going here lol. i'd put it on my main#idk if anyone would find it useful but when i first started looking into surgery i had like very little idea about the whole process#and it's only through joining a bunch of online support/discussion groups that i managed to find more info and resources#so hey it might be useful to share? we'll see#our flight doesn't land for another fifty minutes so now i'm just writing in the tags because i'm bored#alright i'll proofread this and then post it when i land and have signal again. peace out yall hope your pride month is going well

WLW
but aquatic themed
🥺🥺🥺
Tumblr media
@cenri-monpi I err.. I did this.. Errrm.
Shakes like a wet anxious kitten.
I probably used too many dots here, sorrgy I got too excited about drawing this..
I was struggling to choose between Typegingi×Karen and Lorraine×Rachel.
Decided to draw these two since ERM.. Give them attention please.
Also yes when Lorraine sleeps they probably display a DVD logo.. I dunno why but I think it's a silly lil headcanon.
The background here is like..it's an OCEAN you know??
Also while I was drawing this I remembered that one video. Well. That one small thing in the vid. It was a ship dynamic: the conspiracy theorist and the conspiracy.
SO I THOUGHT UHH WHY DON'T I DRAW THIS SILLY LIL IDEA,,, Uhhh.
Hehe.. God. I ramble a lot.. Hope that's not annoying-
I also hope that everything is drawn well here like.. I usually only drew snakes before. So uh probably that's noticeable by how Rachels mermaid tail is drawn. I mean... It literally looks like a hybrid tail to me and I'm so sorry about it really.
Ok I'll go type le TAGS while I didn't fell asleep.

(Again, I won't be pinging anyone for this because I already did that for individual posts. This is moreso for me to have everything in one place. All individual posts can be found on my mod blog with the tag "faeraipridedoodles")
I drew every ask that was given to me for the Grandmotherly Hugs / Forehead Kisses, and I tried getting it all done on one munday. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, but nonetheless everyone got something at some point within the next week or so (at least ones I know went through and weren't eaten by Tumblr) <3

every piece of you - max/daniel (15,841 words)
Daniel is so vibrant and loud and joyful, his tail only adds to that, it fits him perfectly. Max has imagined so many iterations of it, but he never thought it could be like this. He thinks that Daniel should get to be like this all the time if he wanted to be.
