Delilah Mathers is 13 years old and already, her life is a mess.

She lives with her Aunt Mathers in the small little town of Crabshore, Oregon, a small tourist town by the sea. But she doesn’t go to school, doesn’t play with other kids, doesn’t go to the beach, doesn’t do anything other than chores, and stays at home.

Living with an abusive family member who somehow blames you for the death of your parents tends to do that.

But when Delilah gets sick and hospitalized, her whole world turns upside down. Anything she thought she knew about her parents, about her aunt, about everything was wrong. And the biggest thing is...she is a mermaid.

She is whisked away to live in Griffinswing, England with two other children: Merlin and Pepper. They are just like her and finally begin to enjoy a wonderful life with a new family until something tragic and life-threatening happens, forcing Delilah and her new friends to go where they have never gone before, a place where more secrets hide than they ever could have imagined and fears run deep.

Into the Shadows of the Abyss

[shae-la-hyene]

Fave part of Barbie Mermaid Tale is when she allegedly is hiding on her person a wide ornate comb, and her aunt's chonky necklace, and when we see her back there is nothing. She has her hair in a ponytail. She is wearing a bra and booty shorts. WHERE DOES SHE HIDES THEM ?!?!

It could mostly pass when she had the fake tail cuz I'll accept there's extra room in there. But there isn't any room left in those booty shorts, Merlia. Where's that necklace ?

WHERE'S THE NECKLACE MERLIA ??

Hi! Me again. I just had a thought for mermay where Izuku meets fem! Reader at the beach and she has a mermaid type quirk. He starts freaking out because he’s thinking “mermaids are real?!?!?” She then proceeds to beg him not to tell anyone she was using her quirk in public. Of course fluff happens.

Queen of the waves

Genre: fluff

An izuku midoriya x reader

A/n: i actually didn't know what to do with this then i actually remembered merlia from barbie in a mermaid tale HAHAHA so i based the quirk on that so if you're curious, that's where i based the quirk. So anyway, requests are still wide open so please don't be scared and request anything. Thanks for requesting! Let's go!

You were suppose to have a mermaid tail as a quirk, like a permanent mermaid tail.

Your dad was a support scientist and made you a shell necklace. When you mutter 'i wish to become a human', your tail would turn to legs.

So you stayed in human form most of the time.

Most people assumed you were quirkless but you just didn't show it in fear that they would just be friends with you because of that.

So you were an avid goer of the local beach just to rewind and relax.

You went to there to stretch, it's been a while since you saw your tail.

You went behind a cover of rocks, sitting down on the shore.

"i wish to become a mermaid."

The legs were replaced by a tail, you flopped it a bit, you were about to dive when you saw something green move in the corner of your eye.

You looked over and saw izuku midoriya in staring at you in a stun silence.

You freaked, muttering the words to turn into a human and stood up.

"m-mermaids are real?"

"i- uh-"

So you had to explain to him.

You thought he would be sad or disappointed but he looked really really excited as he took out a notebook and started writing down everything.

You sat down on the rocks and asked him to join you.

You just talked about quirks then nothing in general.

You talked until the sun came down.

You started to really like this boy.

You gave him your number and told him to call you.

And he did, which further solidified your relationship.

He asked you out to go on the same beach to swim.

He swam with you and have fun while you stretched your tail out.

He asked you to become official and then the rest was history.

I started out not knowing the path this fic was gonna go but it ended up amazing! I'm satisfied. I have another mermaid request for my bakugo so don't get mad if i use the same quirk i used here. Thanks so much for @jane-3043 for your requests, will go through all of them soon! Thanks so much for reading, happy mermay! I love you guys 😘😊❤️

[princesstadashi]

👉👈 all the barbie movie asks 🥺🥺

Ahhhh!!!!! Okay, y’all ready for this??? XD

Favorite Barbie film? Wait, I have to choose one of my babies??? Well 12 Dancing Princesses was my favorite growing up. Princess and the Pauper will always have a special place in my heart of course. I think Mermaid Tale is definitely up there, it’s really good, plus I just love mermaids! XD But recently my favorite is either Dolphin Magic or Rock n’ Royals, I keep rewatching them as comfort movies :) 

Favorite heroine/main character? More decisions?? I have anxiety, I can’t decide on things! XD But hm... I think surprisingly Alexa from Barbie and the Secret Door? I love so many of the Barbie characters but Alexa is just so relatable as an introvert who would rather just stay inside and read/write instead of dealing with being social! XD

Favorite Barbie film song? I mean, “To Be a Princess” (both from the original and from Princess and the Popstar) is always a classic--I mean, hell, all the songs from Princess and the Pauper are GOLD. “Life Is a Fairytale” from Fashion Fairytale is catchy as hell and will absolutely get stuck in my head for hours! “Gotta Get to Camp” and pretty much any song from Rock n’ Royals will always get me up and moving. Oh, and “What’s Gonna Happen” from Secret Door is probably why that movie is so high up on my list!

Favorite Barbie film dance scene? Anything from 12 Dancing Princesses but I love the fun camp aesthetic of “Got to Get to Camp”, gives me some very Camp Rock vibes which I love! :)

Favorite Barbie couple? I mean, to be fair I don’t think most of my ships are canon... ^^; Probably the closest thing I have is Ken and Barbie from the Dreamhouse Adventures series but technically they’re not a couple yet... Doesn’t mean I can’t dream! They just made Ken so damn adorable and likable--that man ain’t afraid to rock bright pink clothes and I RESPECT that! Plus he’s Barbie’s best friend first and they’re building up their relationship as solid bff’s before romance kinda starts happening which I am SOFT for. But in Dolphin Magic Barbie and Isla are clearly girlfriends by the end, so I’m down for a triad with all three of them :)

Favorite Barbie dress/outfit? ANY of the outfits from Swan Lake--regular gown and then the swan tutu, I DREAMED of having both of those outfits growing up! The peacock dress from Island Princess is a super close followup, though!

Favorite Barbie film male secondary/side character?  Ken from Dreamhouse Adventures, that boy has ALL my love! He’s also pretty great in Life in the Dreamhouse but I’m sorry, Dreamhouse Adventures made me fall in love with that boy <3

Favorite Barbie female secondary/side character? Isla from Dolphin Magic, Erika from Rock n’ Royals (c’mon, she is CLEARLY queer af, have you seen her amazing hair?!!!), and Skipper from Dreamhouse Adventures.

Favorite Barbie film villain? Oh man... I mean. Preminger from Princess and the Popstar is fantastic--other villains WISH they could be as over dramatic and unashamedly villainous as him XD And Duchess Rowena from Twelve Dancing Princesses rivals Mother Gothel, she is just so wonderfully HATEABLE, and she was straight up POISONING the king and she tried to frame his daughters, she is so EVIL and I LOVE her for that!

Favorite Barbie film animal sidekick? Unfortunately I’m not really a fan of the animals in the Barbie movies--sticking fake eyelashes and makeup on every animal just isn’t my thing :/ But probably Wolfie. I love that cat, especially because “The Cat’s Meow” is totally a trans coded song, I stan one trans cat king <3 

Favorite Barbie film non dance scene? Ahhhh!!!! So many good choices!!! I think any scene where a character gets to meet a family member they were separated from (Merlia and Ro getting to meet their moms, Annika meeting her sister, Brietta) is a really good scene :) Oh! Also Blair straight up trashing gentrification in Princess Charm School, like Barbie WENT THERE and was not having it with capitalist bullshit!)

Favorite Barbie film quote? “If what you are is a strange you doesn't mean you should change you, only means you should change your point of view.”

Favorite Barbie film friendship? Barbie and Isla! :) But also Barbie and her sisters in Dreamhouse Adventures and in Life in the Dreamhouse.

Do you have any Barbie film ships? I will almost always ship Barbie with her female counterpart and that’s just a fact XD But I think we covered most of this in favorite couples :) OH! But I almost forgot! Frigging Mr. and Mrs. Roberts in Dreamhouse Adventures are GOALS. Like seriously probably the healthiest representation of a married couple I’ve seen in anything--and they’re not perfect, they’re super quirky and they have issues, but they still LOVE each other and COMMUNICATE and genuinely care about their kids and UGH, I could go ON for HOURS if I’m not stopped XD

Saddest Barbie film scene? Dang, I’m blanking on sad scenes but probably when Liana and Alex briefly break up in Diamond Castle. (C’mon, guys. We ALL know they’re totally a couple. They didn’t even try to hide it.)

Most romantic Barbie film scene? Isla and Barbie reuniting :) But I actually really love the dancing scene with Derek and Genevieve in Twelve Dancing Princesses where they have to dance together to get out of the secret world! Oh! And (spoilers alert for anyone who hasn’t watched Princess Adventure yet!) when Ken asks Barbie to dance with him at the end--wasn’t the confession I was hoping for, but still cute!

Funniest Barbie film scene? Anytime Preminger screams is gold XD

Favorite Barbie film blooper? My favorites are TOTALLY from Princess and the Pauper :) Poor Serafina watching the dummy cat getting absolutely trashed and being terrified for her life? Julian busting a move in the middle of “To Be a Princess”? AMAZING. 

Favorite Barbie film world? Ahhhh!!!! They’re all so good!!! But any of them with canon mermaids is a world I’d be happy to visit XD 

Favorite name? Anneliese, Merliah, Odette

Favorite parents/guardians? Definitely Mr. and Mrs. Roberts from Dreamhouse Adventures :) But Break from Mermaid Tale is totally awesome too, I’d love to have him as a grandfather!

Favorite kids? All of the sisters from Twelve Dancinc Princesses :)

Favorite siblings? Skipper from Life in the Dreamhouse will always be my fave :)

Favorite Barbie film soundtrack? Everything from Princess and the Pauper is a straight up banger, but I DO love the soundtrack of Twelve Dancing Princesses as well--the soundtrack is one of the reasons I love the movie so much! :D 

Favorite Barbie film happy ending? Oof, making me choose again! XD Endings of Dolphin Magic, Mermaid Tale, and Rock n’ Royals are my top three I think :)

3 manticores

Oki so I’m not a GM, but, after this one-shot I knew I HAD to post this story somewhere! So a friend sent me a link to here.

We were in a town that was on fire

we went around to help, but run into 3 manticores

We were level 3 but since I was (and still am) new to DND, I thought we were in trouble

there’s 9 of us at the tale because other un-reliable GMs couldn’t make it

We knock one manticore unconscious, which I thought my character would try to tame after we saved the town.

Second manticore is killed, this is easy. Third manticore comes up, and it’s our fighter’s turn.

Fighter: “I pick up the manticore, and swing it at the other manticore.”

Everyone is shocked. GM: “ok, make a strength roll…” (GM is enjoying this ridiculousness just as much as the other players)

Guess what? Nat, fucking, 20.

GM goes on to explain how he threw the manticores at each other, sending them flying into the air and exploding.

Everyone is freaking out that it actually worked.

Notice after we save what we could of the town that I didn’t have any unconscious manticores to tame. The town we found out is a bunch of manticore-breeders. Merlia (my character) gets a baby manticore. Name them “Ticore”, cause they don’t need no man. Thanks for your time :)

Fun Fact #1

i read meirl as a name like Merli or something and had a sudden realization that Merli is just my brain shortening the name of Merlia from Barbie A Mermaid Tale.

I have now realized meirl stands for me, the speaker, in real life.

[rachywritessomething]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I am selling earrings on Etsy... I hate taking pictures so that's literally the only thing standing in my way of making more listings, but they ARE coming!

More WIP/Book inspired earrings coming soon*!

And when I find my gloves, steel, chain mail bracelets will follow so you can be protected from the fuckery of the world.

Tales of Merlia: Shadows of the Abyss: 12-11-22

Delilah, not being experienced in diving in any sense of the word, hit the water with her arms spread open. The harsh slap of the cool water sucked whatever breath she had out right out of her. All the same, she allowed herself to sink into the deep.

The first thing she noticed was that the water was warmer than she thought it would be. The sea, inviting as it was, looked quite cold. Cold, dark, and endless.

But the moment she willed herself to open her eyes, surprised to find that the saltwater did not burn her eyes, Delilah saw the open water with crisp clarity that should not have been possible. The surrounding water, swaying and rippling with trails of tiny silver bubbles tracing her movements, was a pale bluish grey with streams of white light from the choppy surface.

Delilah noted she wasn’t sinking. It was as though the surrounding water could not hold her down, and instead flowed through her. As if Delilah were one with the water, or a part of the waves themselves.

Delilah felt weightless, strangely at peace.

But that only lasted a moment. For it did not take long for Delilah to feel a strange sensation, a strange pins and needles feeling racing from her lower spine and up to her neck.

Only then did Delilah realize, to her sheer horror, that she could no longer feel her legs. Her gaze shot down to her legs, and her face drained of whatever color she had left in her cheeks.

Delilah’s legs were gone. And in their place was a long, skinny, fish’s tail.
