✨my mer-may addition✨

brining back the giant merman au from 2021 with a messy doodle

[reborrowing]

The land-maid giant had been sitting there for a while, staring into the little oasis of ocean she’d placed them in. They felt…very exposed, with nowhere to hide but a few sparse patches of grass. They kept telling themself that it didn’t matter how much light there was or how open the waters were, no hunters could reach them here. There was a long stretch of land between themself and the sea.

The thought was as terrifying it was reassuring.

She lit up as they worked up the courage to peek back out at her from the grass. Her words were muffled, but not so much that they couldn’t understand her. She was bubbling over with questions—what they were, who they were, if they were alright, did they need anything else, were they hungry, what did they even eat, where did they come from, how did they get here…?

They waved and smiled, but kept silent. Bad things happened when sirens spoke. Their voice was dangerous, the magic hard to control, and the land-folk were particularly susceptible to its curses.

This one had saved them from a horrible death drying out in the sun. What sort of thank you would it be to answer her?

Sorry I just love soft family stuff! I just love very big parents and very small babies

Janus and Aurora are very attentive parents and they absolutely adore the boys

[emry-stars-art]

I know sharks are overdone in meer context and I love that you picked bit more unusual species for twinyards (not the ones that actively hunt other fish) but have you considered any shark designs for anyone else before ? I love how natural the tails you draw look it's my favourite thing about your meer arts

Also do you have favourite fish?

Art idea your favourite fish as tail for meer of your favourite character

It’s just that sharks are so coooolllllll

I have a lot of the Trojans team as sharks in my mer au! I like them being a fun loving group lol they can PROTECT they can ATTACK but mostly they just wanna tussle 😌

And I can’t say for sure I have a favorite fish (bc I love so many fish, it’s such a huge group to choose from) but I did see a pic of what I believe is called a pinnatus batfish?? And I lovedddd the coloring so much, it’s what I was going to draw my oc Q as before I landed on regal angelfish for him

So sorry it’s not an aftg character but I doodled Q to see what might have been lol 🤲

(Though if you wanna see him as an angelfish that’s here)

First kiss, stargazing on a summer night ✨🥰 It doesn’t quite go as planned. Olympe, too excited, accidentally shifts back into his merman self.

First kiss fr!! 😚

They both masquerade as male sailors on the dock by day; but by night he’s a giant merman and she’s a crossdresser. I like to think they keep nearly kissing in their various disguises, but it doesn’t actually happen till they show their true selves to each other (overcoming shame, anxiety, expectation) to have a most unusual kiss under a starry night. 😚 💕

[queewp]

tiny mertle fry :>

I love him sm! He’s my favorite little boi 🥹 he’s just so tiny and cute, his parents are terrifying but he’s so little!

Mer Roadtrip please? I absolutely love everything you are doing with them! <33

WIP Wednesday (9/18) | Mer Roadtrip AU (Part 67)

After taking his sweet time checking out several different options, and periodically checking that Abram's still on his bench, Andrew decides to get them a pair of simple flip phones. They're just for communication, after all. They don't need all the bells and whistles that come with a million dollar price tag.

When the man 'helping' him suggests something higher end, Andrew tells him to shove those up his ass and ring up the damn flip phones. The man looks incredibly upset by that, but he does as told and sets up the phones. Abram gave him enough cash to buy basic data plans for each of them. They last six months. Andrew sincerely hopes it won't take them that long to get to South Carolina, but it's the best he can do.

Once he's obtained their glorified walkie-talkies, Andrew starts out of the store and his stomach drops. Abram isn't in his spot. Instead, there's a pair of twenty-somethings where he'd been. Damn him. Damn him to hell. He promised! He— Andrew's chest tightens and he's not getting enough air. Where the hell is Abram? Just as he's about to go ballistic and start ripping arms off other shoppers, Andrew turns to his right and spots Abram at a kiosk a few yards away, trying on sunglasses. He lets out a long breath and makes his way over.

"Those are horrendously overpriced, you know."

Abram startles and nearly drops a pair of shades. He fumbles but catches them before looking over at Andrew with relief. He manages to put them back on their rack. "Yeah, yeah. I know. There's no one to ring them up anyway. I'll get some later." He looks down at the new bag on Andrew's arm. "You got 'em?"

"Yeah, I got them." Andrew pulls out one of the phones and personally places it in Abram's hand. "I programmed our number's into each other's phones. Speed dial one for both of us. We can make calls and send text messages. That's it."

Abram flips his phone open and runs his thumb over the screen. Andrew watches him make his way to the contacts page to find ANDREW as the only name listed. "They work?"

"I assume so," Andrew says, flipping open his own. He presses call, one, and Abram's phone starts ringing a moment later. He jolts in surprise despite watching Andrew the entire time and stares down at it like he doesn't know what to do next. "Your phone's ringing, Abram. Better answer it."

Mers! I'm so happy I got the chance to write about some giant mers. I love them but I don't write them nearly enough.

I'm actually really excited for you guys to read this one too. And, once again, this one is only part one! I wrote a part two for day 18. Which happens to be pirates. I thought they fit pretty well together lol.

I hope you guys enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A storm was not the thing Grian expected to end up killing him.

 Really, it was a lot more likely the pirates that had kidnapped him were gonna be his end. 

 But even below deck, in the brig of the ship, he could tell the storm outside was a nasty one. Anyone in their right mind would be saying their prayers right now. He could hear the footsteps above him, rapid and heavy compared to the harsh rain that pounded the deck. Even the pirate who had been tasked to guard him had run up with everyone else. All hands on deck, as they would say.

 Grian wasn’t even sure how he had ended up in this mess in the first place. He was just a simple fisherman. And he hadn’t thought his prices were too steep but the pirates had begged to differ and tried to steal from him. Of course Grian was going to defend himself and his stock. Although, in hindsight, fighting back against pirates probably hadn’t been the smartest move.

 Okay, so maybe he did know how he ended up in this mess.

 A harsh jerk of the ship caused Grian to slide across the ground and hit the wall with a loud thud. He winced at the pain in his arm. With his hands tied behind his back, he was unable to reach out and stop that from happening.

 He heard more yelling from above but with the sound of the storm it was hard to tell exactly what they were saying. He pressed his face against the wood of the wall and closed his eyes tight. He supposed he was just grateful it was the storm that would take him out and not the pirates themselves.

 His eyes opened wide as he suddenly heard the voices upstairs start screaming. Even despite the storm and everything, the pirates had never sounded so afraid. It put Grian on edge, his nerves tense as he wondered what was happening up there.

 And then, before Grian could fully process it, a sudden large weight slammed into the ship. No, not just slammed against it. The weight went through the ship, right in front of Grian, right down the middle and breaking the pirate ship in half.

 The storm and ocean rushed to meet Grian all at once and Grian was helpless as he was swept away alongside the rest of the pirates and the wreckage of the ship. The waves tossed him around, slamming into him hard and fast. He was unable to reach the surface, unable to gasp for the air he desperately needed. His hands were still tied too and without the use of his arms his kicking feet were all but useless. 

 He sunk further, his lungs reaching their limit. The salt water hit his eyes, making them sting. But he ignored it because through the water, he made out the ship. Or what was left of it. All but planks remained, floating and sinking all around him and mingling with the bodies of the pirates. Most seemed to be dead already.

 Grian couldn’t hold it in anymore and he let out a gasp. The water poured into his lungs and he thrashed about, wanting desperately to claw at his throat. His energy was quickly drained though, and his head became light as he breathed in more and more water. His eyes slowly drifted shut and everything went dark.

***

Grian woke up with a gasp and a cough, sitting up and leaning over his side to cough up whatever water was left in his lungs. He took deep breaths, trying to get as much air as possible. He gripped the warm sand beneath him and then, as the coughing and his need to breath subsided, he simply laid there for a few, peaceful moments.

 His eyes opened again, slower this time. The sun was high above him, shining down with not a cloud in the sky. It was a sharp contrast to the storm he had been stuck in just a moment ago.

 Or, maybe not just a moment ago. How long had it been? How was he even alive? He swore the last thing he remembered was giving into the ocean and drowning.

 Grian sat up, taking in his surroundings. He seemed to be on a small island in the middle of the ocean. He looked toward the horizon line and there seemed to be other small islands surrounding him but no sign of the mainland anywhere.

 There was also no sign of anyone else. No ship debris, no other bodies even. Just him, all alone.

 But then he took a look right next to him and noticed the rope that had been tied around his hands. Just now realizing his hand were free, he rubbed his wrists earnestly, having quiet the rope burn on them. Had the rope finally unknotted while he had been in the water?

 But no, upon closer inspection, the rope had been cut. There was a very clear line through the center of the rope, leading to two separate pieces as he managed to untangle them. But if the rope had been cut, and so cleanly too, then that meant…

 “H-Hello?” Grian tried to speak but his voice sounded harsh even to his own ears. It had been nothing more than a whisper despite his attempt to shout and so he cleared his throat and tried again. “Hello!” This time his voice sounded more normal. He stood up, keeping the rope in hand and looked around for any clue as to who might have saved him.

 Grian whipped around toward the shore as suddenly, a large being started to rise from it. He made out red and then a pale color as it lifted higher and higher above him. Grian backed away, processing that the red was curly hair and the pale color was skin. 

 It was a giant woman. But no, that wasn’t all. The dark blue scales that lined her face, the gills around her neck, the fins coming out of her head…

 He was in the presence of a giant mer.

 “Oh, you’re awake!” The giant mer exclaimed, a smile on her face. Grian gulped nervously, wondering what was going to happen. He heard stories of giant mers. Horror stories. Stories of them eating any human they came across and of killing anyone foolish enough to go into their territory. Was he next? 

 As Grian was silently freaking out, she leaned down closer, placing her arms in the sand in order to do so. Grian yelped, backing up even more but it was useless to run. The island wasn’t that big and the giant mer could probably reach him no matter where he went on it. “Are you alright?” She spoke again and Grian paused in his panic, confused.

 “Wh-What?” He stammered out, looking into the large green eyes. The mer tilted her head.

 “I asked if you were alright. I think you took in a lot of water when you were sinking.” She said and then her head leaned down even closer, right in Grian’s personal space. Grian was frozen in the spot, trying not to move less the mer jump and eat him in one bite. “You seem to be breathing alright…” She said with a hum, more to herself.

 “I…Why do you care?” Grian asked, the question coming out a little more harsh than he had wanted. He winced at his own tone but the mer didn’t seem angry at it. Instead, her eyes softened.

 “Sorry. I guess I am a bit scary, huh?” She said with a little giggle. A bit was an understatement but Grian kept his mouth shut. “I just want to make sure I didn’t hurt you when I smashed that ship. I didn’t realize you were in there.”

 Grian blinked. “You…were the one who broke the ship?”

 The mer nodded, now looking a little frustrated as she looked back out towards the water. “They were in my territory. I would have just let the storm handle them but they seemed like they were fighting it well.” She hummed a bit. “I almost admire them for being able to do that. That storm was no joke. But I still couldn’t let them get away, so I smashed their ship to pieces.”

 Grian vaguely remembers a large weight slamming through the boat. Now he knew what it was.

 “Why didn’t you let me die then, with the rest of them?” Grian asked, more confused than anything now. Did she just want a snack for later? But then, why did she seem to care about how he was feeling? Or if he was hurt? Things weren’t adding up.

 Her frustration slipped away and went soft again. “Why would I do that? I could tell from the way you were tied up that you were there against your will. It wasn’t your fault you were taken into my territory. So when I saw you, I grabbed you and took you here.” She explained. Grian bit his lip and found himself stepping a bit closer.

 “So…you aren’t going to eat me?” Grian had to ask, just to make sure.

 The mer’s eyes went wide. “Of course not!” She shook her head and then huffed. “I don’t know what kind of things are said about mers but I don’t make it a habit to eat other sapient beings. Kill them, sure. But I think eating them is taking it a bit too far.”

 Grian nodded in agreement and finally let himself relax a little. It seemed the giant mer really had saved him, not as a snack for later, but because she knew he wasn’t a part of the pirates crew. 

 “Well then, thank you for saving me.” Grian said with a slight cough, looking away from the giant eyes. The mer grinned in return.

 “Of course!” Something large splashed the water behind her and Grian jumped at the suddenness of it. He looked behind the mer, to see a giant tail, the same shade as the scales on the mer’s face, moving up and down in the water. “I’m Gem, by the way.”

 Grian returned the smile, finally believing that he was safe. “I’m Grian.” He paused for a moment. “So…what happens now?”

 Gem bit her lip, making her sharp fangs abundantly clear. Grian tried not to be scared by them. “Well, it’s up to you really. But I can’t leave my territory without making some other mers really unhappy. Or get close enough to the mainland to take you back home.”

 That sounded a lot like he was stuck here. He said as much out loud. “So I’m stuck here?”

 “Oh no, there are other ways! Like, I could help you make a boat in order to get yourself back to the mainland.” Gem suggested. “There are a lot of spare parts floating around in my waters from all the ships I’ve destroyed.”

 Grian thought about it but there really wasn’t much to think about. That was his best option. His only real option, it seemed like. So, he nodded. “That sounds like a plan then.” He had never built a ship before but hopefully, with Gem’s help, it wouldn’t be too difficult. “Should we get started?”

 Gem grinned and nodded. 

 They got to work.

Itty bitty Mer X-Men, Brotherhood, and Acolytes with a Reader who was turned into a mer (and they happen to be a teen/child/guppy). That sounds really cute and very snuggly to me.

Reader could be anything from a tiny jellyfish mer to a tiny octopus mer to a tiny clownfish mer to a tiny betta fish mer to a tiny shark mer to a- (you get the picture). And the platonic yans are so excited to have another mer with them! The teens/guppies get a sibling/hatchmate/podmate, who's new and needs help and they want to gladly give it to them! Let them be their friends! They'll happily share snacks and nests, too! The adults/caretakers are thrilled, because they like taking care of guppies, and this one seems lost and they're alone and where are their parents their pod- They're scooping Reader up and putting then in their coral nursery, nudging toys their way and trying to see if they're hungry or if they need any care (and snuggling with them, too, because this tiny guppy is too cold-)

And Reader is surrounded by very colorful fish people who they now understand, but isn't let out from the nursery or left alone. They're stuck trying to find a way out, while having constant love and care happily force-fed to them (they might even be actually force-fed, who knows). They have all the blankets and nests and beds and toys and love and protection they could ever need... But all Reader wants is to go back to normal...

More merman au, quick messy color this time

[starrydust-npc]

Does the boys misses the times were they were humans ? Since Sun recognise his best friend // crush when seing them ? Or miss their family and all-

Also you said Sun was 16 ans Moon 13 when they turned but I don’t recall you telling Eclipse age except that he’s an adult… So how old he is ? And how much older he is than the other ?

All the boys have nostalgia about their once human lives. After spending many years as sirens the memories and painful longing for their old lives have faded to an ache they sometime reflect on and accepted as a life they cannot go back to. For Sun and Moon it took them longer to settle due to being turned young and the circumstances that caused their turning(it wasn't their choice). Moon didn't have many friends as a kid, but he will miss his parents and grandmother. Sun misses his family and friends so much that it took longer than Moon to remember those good human years without feeling intense sorrow. Seeing YN again suddenly reopened those emotions and the ache, and felt deep in his subconscious, a silent yet desperate need to keep his crush and best friend close to not lose that one connection to his old life. Eclipse doesn't have much attachment to his previous human life. It wasn't completely horrible, but towards the end he was down on his luck and was practically a loner since his parents passed away already and lost contact with a lot of people he once thought as friends. So while he does miss certain parts of human life, like the variety of food and technological entertainment, he likes his new siren lifestyle. Besides, he knows and accepted that if he wasn't turned that very night he won't be alive anyway. Oooh boy I had to bust out the calculator for this one... Eclipse was 25 when he was turned. He has been a siren for 18 years now, so he's currently 43. Sun and Moon are currently 26(Sun being a siren for 10 years and Moon being a siren for 13 years). So Eclipse is 17 years older than Sun and Moon. Sirens in this AU can live up to 300 years with reaching full maturity at 24. It's very slow growth after hitting 24 and it's extremely rare for any siren to even reach 200 due to the dangers of the ocean.

Have a little sneaky peaky of something I’m working on

I most just wanted to share baby Sun and Moon
