Mirakane siren AU Who up contemplating Akane Kurashiki's indelible destructive pull back to the source of her trauma and consistent inability to escape her compulsive fixation on recreating it 🌊🎉 Who up making elaborate fish yuri about it (me alone) 🐟

#zero escape #zero time dilemma #akane kurashiki #mira ztd #mira zero escape #mirakane #monster au #digital art #barts (big arts)#I hope this is recognisable enough as versions of the same characters 😭😭😭#with akanes design I tried to incorporate elements from all her canon outfits into a vaguely period appropriate shape #of Somewhere In Witch Hunt Times #but there's only so much I can do with naked fish lady 🥲#But!! She's based on a red bellied piranha because of what she talks about in that one fragment comparing herself to a piranha in the water #the necessary danger of the game #isnt it interesting how that's an aquatic metaphor. When Mira is indirectly responsible for Akane dying stranded out in the ocean.#How in akanes own game she had hongou be the shark in the water #unfortunately I've been told piranhas only live in freshwater. Fortunately these depicted are special piranhas compelled by siren magic #can you believe ztd introduced a character who as a child herself instigated the events of the entire series and had Akane end up #coincidentally meeting her and then they don't even talk onscreen #and the reveal of her causing that is just casually dropped and glossed over she doesnt even tell akane herselflflfl #this was so fucking hardddd #theres a surprisingly huge amount of underwater reference photos available online but i couldnt find quite what i wanted and i had to figur #out the fucking skirttttt and hair underwater and rendering the water itself #and now i have learned :)
