I love kabumisu, but yall focus on mithrun's development too much. What about kabru. What about the things mithrun helps kabru with. What about the things kabru realizes about himself through his interactions with mithrun. He people pleases so hard he accidentally starts thinking about himself, that's such a funny concept. why aren't there more pieces around it.

obligatory intermittent post once again requesting more people make pjo askblogs. pretty pretty please. they're very fun I promise and askblogs are a dying species. i'm very sad that for like the past 6 years there's usually only been one or two riordanverse askblogs active and I'm one of them.

"but i can't-" there's options! text-based askblogs! illustrated/drawn-response askblogs! cosplay askblogs! voice acting askblogs! combinations of the above! whatever else your heart desires! get funky with it! getting funky with it is really cool!

also do your local askblogs a favor and send them some asks sometimes. here's a list of illustrated pjo askblogs I have curated, and a list of other formats of pjo askblogs. I'm also working on another list of general askblogs so if you have any other askblogs you should tell me about those ones too.

So. Had an idea since I never really saw anything on a Leviathantale Fresh. So I basically created an idea and information about a MerFresh species. Yes species, as in multiple. There is the Original Alpha MerFresh and offspring. But I just go into the species themselves with this. Enjoy my wacky idea!

MerFreshes, at least known to the current Leviathantale, are unique to their land dwelling cousins of other Multiverses. For one, instead of a tentacle parasite, merparasites take the form of a starfish species instead to better blend in underwater and fool potential hosts into thinking they are harmless to them. Despite starfish themselves unable to survive in freshwater for short periods of time, merparasites have adapted to handle it due to the magic in their systems. It also depends on their merforms of the host they adapted to if they can survive longer than normal. That will be explained below.

Like their parasitic cousins, MerFreshs only last as long as the host SOUL does before it needs to move on to a new one, but unlike them, they can last double to triple the time that landdwelling ones can due to their nature and limited supply of hosts over a greater expanse of area. Landdwelling hosts are more in supply and a MerFresh will take one if desperate and close enough, but they prefer having a merhost over it due to the first stage of adaptation being easier on the body.

When a merparasite needs a new host it will seek it out and climb into the eye of the host and latch onto the SOUL. From here is where the landdwelling parasite and merparasite differs.

Although the body of a merparasite is a starfish, its magic is more in relation to a mind controlling barnacle that attaches itself to crabs and controls them for food and protection. So once latched to the SOUL, it will use the remaining magic in it's form to connect to the SOUL and start a transformation process to change the host from whatever species of mer it was before to a crab species that it relates to. The species will always remain the same no matter the host. It can also transform landdwellers into crab mers, but it takes more magical energy to do so, hence the preference for already mer hosts.

After the process is completed, it will binge on any food it can get its hands and claws on for a week or two until their magic levels are restored. This allows it to add to the magical energy in the SOUL that they feed slowly off of and restore it over a period of time till magic levels are back to normal. Merparasites consume the SOUL essence itself rather than chunks of the SOUL so it can be restored over time. The longer one spends in the host's body, the more SOUL essence it will need to keep living until it is time to begin the process anew.

MerFreshes will experience heats like normal mers, but to actually reproduce takes more steps. For one, MerFreshes needs a properly marked mate or mates. They will form strong attachments to the one they want to mate with and bond on an instinctual level. It is hard to break such a bond, and can usually end up with the MerFresh letting themselves dust with the host at the end of its lifespan.

They will lay eggs inside their mate or allow their mate to give the magic needed for them to carry depending on their preference. Once they eggs are laid, they are carried on their back until they hatch. A MerFresh and a Mer mate can have merparasites already in growing merhosts with their crab forms already chosen. It is rare that one would be born without an already made host. These babies will grow with the same body until adulthood where they must seek out a new host and start their own cycles. A baby merparasite without a host usually does not survive unless a host is found and given magic to support the transformation process since baby merparasites would not have the energy to survive it otherwise.

A MerFresh will usually have at least three surviving clutches in a lifetime. The older the merparasite gets, the harder it is for them to reproduce. If they outlive their chosen mate/s they usually decide to not switch hosts and join them in death. This is very common for the species. It is rare for a MerFresh to find another mate after the death of their current one/s.

Alpha MerFresh is the rarity that they form bonds to mates, have clutches, and break off the bond and leave them behind without much care. Their goal is to spread as many of their offspring they can in the ocean and watch them survive. They also don't care what mate they have as long as they are willing and sometimes mate with other MerFreshes only to leave them broken after laying eggs. The broken MerFresh will usually keep going until the eggs hatch and the babies can defend themselves and leave to go dust somewhere, unable to continue on.

Alpha MerFresh is the only one that can also go leviathan. But it takes a lot of energy out of them and they usually need to seek a new host after a few prolonged uses due to needing to up their intake of SOUL essence. Their offspring do not have this ability to do this. At least as far as anyone is aware of.

Tammie sluggishly got to a comfortable place on the shore, visibly exhausted.

“Damn glowflies” they muttered. “I was avoiding the workers and suddenly those swarms appeared again. Can’t believe this” she muttered. “I wasn’t even trying to encounter the workers and next thing I know I’m angrily picking up a pan and going in.”

The salmonid paused.

“Oh yeah- remembered why I came here. I wanted to ask you how you deal with glowflies. I notice a lot of Goldies get caught in them. How do you manage them?”

[ @friend-of-inkfish ]

The grim Goldie was unsure how the former Steel Eel pilot located its whereabouts, nor how they even learned of its existence. Perhaps word spread that quickly about the strange goldie with eyes as black as shadow and power unmatched.

To cause the tides to rise or fall with the flick of a fin

To allow glowflies to swarm with just a single glare.

But it appreciated the effort the fellow Salmonid took to find it and ask such a question. Perhaps it was just overthinking this.

"You're a determined one, aren't you?" It stated. "Not many Salmonids even dare get close, and few even try to search for me. However, I appreciate the effort and determination. You aren't one that fears madness, some of the only things that can frighten a Salmonid."

The Goldie would come slightly closer, only enough for the Salmonid to better hear it. Getting too close could result in unease due to the magnetic waves that come from the Goldie's body, which it can manipulate at will. It wanted this Salmonid to feel safe. They deserved to feel safe.

"It is not the glowflies that bother us. It's the magnetic waves, and it's the shifts in magnetic waves in the area that cause the unease, restlessness, and inevitably, madness and the infamous rush. I do not know the exact reason why our territories have such strange magnetic fields, but they often cause the shifts that drive warriors into mad marches. Glowflies often come to areas that are affected most by these shifts, and swarm to the nearest organic matter. The only thing the poor warriors can focus on is the glowing bodies of the insects, and they rush, trying to free themselves from the madness. And yet the things they swarm are often Inkfish working with Grizzco."

"With that out of the way, the best way to deal with sudden changes in magnetic fields is by actively putting yourself in areas with strange magnetic fields and adjusting to shifts. Therefore it would allow you better control of your mind and body when a magnetic shift happens."

"But this is coming from one who is unaffected by the magnetic fields, and rather manipulates them in some way. It's...hard to explain."

The goldie finally shut its trap and forced a look at the visitor with a glimmer of joy in its eye. Whenever Lee was happy, they would smile, showing their teeth. It was a sign of joy and non-aggression. It attempted to do something like that, showing its teeth and uplifting the sides of its mouth to the best of the ability of its often emotionless face.

[lupismaris]

realizing I'm actually deeply hateful of what algorithm based social media/social media as a whole has done to how we interact with our friend groups on a local level 50/50 because I'm a mentally ill socialist and because I work tangentially in marketing so I know how it's rigged

[ask-thearchivists]

So is this archiving/collecting/preserving just a your family thing, or do all members of your society do that? Given that you referred to yourselves as collectors.

The Curator: Oh, all Collectors are our family. And yes they all Collect. We've been doing this for billions of years, and as far as I know, we've done this since the beginning of time.
