Sirens of Encounters in the Frontier.
In my setting, sirens are a kind of shark, descendants of a creature most similar to an epaulette shark, wich adapted to hunt fish and mollusks trapped during the low tide and eventually evolved to be fully lunged and mostly amphibian.
There are 3 species of sirens, all 6 limbed.
-The continental mernewt is native to the vast beaches and coral reefs of the southeastern coast of the continent. It's similar in bodyplan to a mudskipper and just as agile. They have jaws strong enough to open shellfish and don a venomous spur next to their tail fin, wich can kill small animals and cause pain, swelling and even necrosis of the limbs in larger animals like humans.
Male mernewts are known to "fence" each other as they are very territorial during mating season. This fights envolve leaps into the air, stabbing with their spurs, biting and their characteristic shriek.
These animals are very important in the culture of the warrior caste in the Sun Empire and represent masculine violence and war, sometimes positively (they are kept in artificial ponds ocasionally) or as a critique in poetry of the futility of war, since the mernewts are vulnerable to birds of prey or other predators while exhausted after a fight.
-The lesser siren is the most terrestrial of all sirens. Its native to the eastern and southern coast of the continent, the north of alwaysummer and the Twisted Islands.
These creatures feed mostly on fish stranded during low tides but many hunt seabirds by staying still between rocks in the shore until the perfect ocasion to leap and catch its prey with their clawed pectoral fins. They usually drag their prey to the water and drown it there. They are very capable of climbing rocks and can be quite fast in short bursts of speed.
They can get quite large and pose a significant danger to some cattle and humans.
-Sirens are native to the Twisted Islands and are the most aquatic of the three, even though they can still return to the sea if they get stranded.
They spend most of the day in underwater caves and are actually quite good at hunting in the sea floor, as they use their long arm like pectoral fins to move rocks and expose mollusks and other small prey. Still, their prey of choice are terrestrial animals. Sirens are indeed quite intelligent animals, though far from sapient, as they resemble the intelect of a marine crocodile, wich manifests in very specialiced hunting tactics.
They have learned to attract land animals close enough to the water by leaving small pieces of fish in the shore as bait for seabirds or imitating animal cries for help to attract unsuspecting predators or worried members of the imitated species. When they get the chance, they rapidly extend their arm-like fins and drag the animal to the sea.
Some sirens have specialiced in hunting humans, specially those on boats, wich is a big problem given how common reed boats and low canoes are for transport in the twisted islands, often used to also transport cattle.
Sirens can easily climb on top of these boats or colaborate between many to topple a ship.
They don't hunt in organized groups, rather they all hunt individually but at the same time, if that makes sense, and later fight for the prey.
These human eating sirens have learn to stand on small islands or unlit shores ar night and waive their arm-like fins while screaming (they can imitate a great variety of sounds) to lure humans closer to them.
The Iliryi people (those native of the twisted islands) have developed many methods to sail safely, such as covering their boats with down facing spikes, tying themselves to the boat or just carrying harpoons and being ready for action. Still, these tactics are not very efective when overwhelmed by a large group of sirens.
The government of the twisted islands hires whalers and fishermen from all across the eastern sea during their low season to work as sirens hunters, wich escort other ships and keep the siren population at bay. This is a high risk high reward job for these fishermen.

Shovel Talk?
(there’s one suitor left in the the palace, but he’s not there for the Queen of Ithaca)
Penelope had long since fallen asleep as Telemachus sat silently outside her door, not quite able to break the habit yet. Odysseus had crept out of the room as soon as his wife had fallen asleep despite his intense want to stay near her. Still, he had to make sure the palace had been cleansed of the suitors.
Suddenly he heard heavy breathing coming from Telemachus’s chambers. Telemachus’s chambers that were supposed to be empty. He tightly gripped his sword and threw the door open, watching as an unfamiliar young man stumbled back, looking up at him with wide eyes.
“Are you a suitor?” Odysseus asked flatly, adjusting his hold on the sword.
“Yes,” the young man said. “But it’s not what you think, I’m not-”
“Stop.” He said. “What’s your name?”
The young man sputtered a bit before finally saying, “Nausicaas.”
“Nausicaas… you should have lied.”
“No…” Nausicaas took a few steps back as the king walked towards him with a raised sword. “No, it’s- it’s not what you think! I���m here for Telemachus!”
“You idiot…” Odysseus shook his head. “Did you see what happened to the rest of the suitors who tried to hurt my son?” He pressed the sword against the young man’s neck. “This is where it ends. With your death, my family is safe. Do you understand that?”
His eyes widened as he stared right into the king’s burning red eyes, alight. In what Nausicaas assumed would be his last moment, he squeezed his eyes shut and yelled, “Sir, I’m in love with your son!”
There was no pain, no sharpness of the blade, but the feeling of it against his neck didn’t leave. Nausicaas didn’t dare open his eyes.
“What?”
He opened one eye, catching sight of Odysseus’s confusion. “I am a suitor… for your son. I- I arrived here this morning to… to ask the Queen for her blessing to marry the prince… a-and now that you’re here I can, well… would it be okay if I proposed to your son?”
Odysseus stepped back, letting his sword fall to his side. He looked like he was sizing the young man up. “Where did you come from?”
“Sparta, sir. The Queen’s family in Sparta is close friends with my own.”
The king seemed to contemplate this for a moment. “You say you love my son?” Nausicaas nodded eagerly. It was almost endearing. “How much?”
The young man’s expression finally hardened into something a lot more Spartan than it had looked before. “I would end worlds for him, sir. I would renounce my name, my rank, my home—I would be of Ithaca only, Sparta be damned.” His eyes suddenly wandered to a spot over Odysseus’s shoulder, softening as a smile tugged his lips.
The king turned around to see his son in the doorway. “Telemachus.”
“Mother woke up,” he said, his voice distracted. “She had a fit when you weren’t next to her.”
Odysseus smiled, then turned back to look at Nausicaas. He held his arms out, warm and inviting, and enveloped the young man. “Thank you,” Nausicaas uttered, returning the hug as if it were a handshake, strong and unwavering.
“Be true.” Odysseus said, then lowered his voice. “And if you even think about hurting my family, I will dismember you and feed what’s left of you to what little sirens managed to escape my crew and I.” The boy tensed up in his arms and Odysseus smiled. “That is, if Penelope doesn’t get to you first.”
He felt the young man nod and let go, stepping back. The king stood in wait. Nausicaas’s lips formed a small “oh,” then walked past him to face Telemachus. “Telemachus, Prince of Ithaca…”
“Nausicaas,” the prince said, grabbing the young warrior’s hand and pulling him closer with a grin Odysseus recognized from his days trying his hardest to win Penelope’s attention. “Why so formal?”
A grin tugged at his lips. “Because this is important. I love you, Telemachus. I will always love you. If there is a life after this one, I will love you in that one too. Would you join me in declaring this love to the gods?"
Telemachus smiled and leaned forward to kiss Nausicass. "It only took you three years to ask."
"Is..." He said tentatively, "Is that a yes?"
Odysseus shook his head and made for the doorway, patting Nausicaas on the back before leaving. "Welcome to the family."
#Odysseus: he can handle it he’s from sparta#Odysseus: *threatens to kill him and feed him to sirens*#for anyone wondering Nausicaas is Nausicaa in the myth originally a princess of an island that Odysseus visits#And later marries Telemachus#but I changed it up a bit bc I *felt like it*#did anyone catch my will herondale paraphrase#i can and will write more of this I just thought this was really funny#epic the ithaca saga#Epic the musical post canon#post canon#odysseus#telemachus#epic the musical

he'd have the strangest convos with the trans eliatropes guys (yes based off of that one mp100 post)
bonus of the eliatrope on the left, her name is amura! :]
#wakfu#wakfu yugo#wakfu spoilers#wakfu season 4#wakfu oc#yugo the eliatrope#yugo casually has a horrendously trans coded experience and we should talk abt it more methinks#pinpin has the autism experience#there was a post i rb'ed abt this#but like imagine being a trans eliatrope asking shit of ur king and he describes EXACTLY what ur going thru. but then u learn hes cis???#like what do u MEAN you were stuck in a body that didn't reflect you at all on the inside and everyone could never see you properly because#of it. and despite it all you tried to move past it and stay true to who you know u are on the inside#LIKE DID U JUST GO THRU A TRANS SIMULATOR???? WHAT#on a slightly related note i think yugo is demi!!! he might be straight he might be bi idfk- but that man is not alloromantic/sexual#yk the only times yugo has expressed interest in romance was with amalia in the ovas and in the bellaphone island ep. idk if that counts#cause yk sirens. they mess with u or smth#like hes shown no interest in romance as a whole. sure he gets embarrassed when that girl hit on him (hilarious)#but like no interest. hes developed a close relationship with amalia and only shows interest to her later#very hilarious because pinpin spends all of s1 going after women. ruel also hits on people. yugos just vibing. tho. tot. doesnt know how#to write women so. yeahhhh#ANYWAYS YUGO DEMI <3333#amaura is there too idk anything abt her shes inspired by a hat i have

the way the island throws off your familiar's behavior because it wants you to kill them. you need magic, don't you? your familiar exists to help you, and look at it, it can't do anything right now. it's just an animal, really. it doesn't look or act the way it used to. maybe you loved them before, but they don't even respond to you now, and times have changed. and you need magic, don't you?
#laughs awkwardly#dimension 20#misfits and magic spoilers#the contrast between victor who literally went to hell to get his familiar back because that's his best friend#and this. lemli's such a fun character for this. like we all love lemli right? she's so sweet and normal!#she openly says one of her two favorite things is drowning men and we're all like haha how whimsical! cause she's a siren!#until it's real. she doesn't bat an eye when philtrum goes down. you eat what you kill here or you starve#its a combo of like. yeah it's not like philtrum was a good person before. a certain type of people were drawn / called here#because they respond to this and it fits their worldview. but also holy shit this island#we gotta get out of here bro
