#Triton's shell

[vestaignis]

Рог тритона , или харония тритон , или тритонов рог— брю­хоногий моллюск из рода Charonia . В древнегреческой ми­фологии существует легенда, что Зевс наг­радил Пана рогом Три­тона, который издавал громкие звуки, слу­жа сигнальной трубой.

Раковина Тритониса одна из самых больших ракушек в мире - ее длина до 45 см. Имеет ба­шневидную форму, с крупным последним оборотом и стройной заострённ­ой вершиной. Общая окраска раковины харонии— бежевая, с множеств­ом С-образных пятен и линий коричневого цвета. Спиральные бо­роздки оранжевые, за­родышевая раковина фиолетовая. Окраска ноги моллюска ярко-жёлтая с широ­кими поперечными чер­ными полосами.

Тритонов рог обитает на глубине 5—30 м. Насе­ляет коралловые рифы и мелководья. Этот брю­хоногий моллюск хищни­к. Питается в основн­ом морской звездой «терновый венец», мор­скими ежами, гребешк­ами. Слюнные железы моллюска вырабатывают секрет, содержащий 3—4 % свободной се­рной кислоты, а также аспарагиновую кисл­оту, приводящую игло­кожих в состояние оц­епенения.

Распространена харония тритон в Тропическом Индо-Тих­оокеанском районе - от Филиппинских остров­ов до Окинавы. На островах Океании раковины этого моллю­ска применяли в каче­стве музыкального ин­струмента — трубы. Островитяне высверли­вали отверстие в вер­хних оборотах завитк­а, что позволяло пол­учать звуки различных тональностей и исп­олнять мелодии.

Triton's horn, or Charonia triton, or Triton's horn is a gastropod mollusk of the genus Charonia. In ancient Greek mythology, there is a legend that Zeus awarded Pan with Triton's horn, which made loud sounds, serving as a signal trumpet.

Triton's shell is one of the largest shells in the world - its length is up to 45 cm. It has a tower-shaped shape, with a large last whorl and a slender pointed apex. The general color of the Charonia shell is beige, with many C-shaped spots and lines of brown color. Spiral grooves are orange, the embryonic shell is purple. The color of the mollusk's foot is bright yellow with wide transverse black stripes.

Triton's horn lives at a depth of 5-30 m. It inhabits coral reefs and shallow waters. This gastropod is a predator. It feeds mainly on the crown-of-thorns starfish, sea urchins, and scallops. The salivary glands of the mollusk produce a secretion containing 3-4% free sulfuric acid, as well as aspartic acid, which causes echinoderms to become stupefied.

The triton charonia is widespread in the tropical Indo-Pacific region - from the Philippines to Okinawa. On the islands of Oceania, the shells of this mollusk were used as a musical instrument - a pipe. The islanders drilled a hole in the upper turns of the curl, which allowed them to produce sounds of various tonalities and perform melodies.

TRITON - a god of the sea!

According to the Greek mythology, Triton is a Greek god of the sea, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, god and goddess of the sea respectively. Triton lived with his parents in a golden palace on the bottom of the sea. Later he is often depicted as having a conch shell he would blow like a trumpet.

This gets into shit I can't talk about but it fascinates me seeing the leap from grace and gentleness when humans start talking about Lev's rulership and specific like.............. Ugh god how to word that. A specific time and place when he was involved in the ruling of a certain group of spirits humans are connected to like. Talking about Ahi, who is a more permanent split-off of Lev's energy (like how I said Lev takes multiple bodies I guess) as Vritra where humans are like fucking terrified of him... Hearing about Triton I'm like no yeah actually this DOES sound like you, it sounds like when humans connect to you ruling your plane and doing your off plane stuff instead of you interacting with humans as Father Of Humanity

........... Actually lmfao. I've just metaphorically drawn some random lines on a chalkboard as I spoke and I stand back and look and it's a symbol I recognise very well.

Hook with the daughter of Ariel or something like that. With them being in a secret little relationship but he’s always trying to come up to her and flirt with her. Maybe Uliana finds out and freaks out the rest is up to you

Secret | James Hook

Pairing: James Hook x fem!reader (Ariel's!sister!reader)

Summary: Once Uliana figures out your secret, everything comes crushing down.

Warning/s: angst, but with a happy ending, fluff, keeping secrets, fight, short fic, possible grammar and/or spelling mistakes

Author's note: It's here, hope you enjoy!! Also, I made the reader Ariel's sister because in my head, it fits the timeline.

Honestly, nobody had any idea how it happened. You were Ariel's sister. He was a pirate. How in the world did you manage to end up together?!

Well... truth to be told... it happened so suddenly, just like when the storm in the middle of the sea happens. Nobody really expects it, but it arrives it crashes you with its whole might. Leaving you breathless.

It was a normal, sunny day when you met him. You were walking down the corridor, just trying to get to Merlin's class. Clutching your book in your hands, you found yourself outside as you came face to face with Hook. In the middle of the courtyard. All alone. His back was turned to you, and with that finding, you felt the sigh of relief leave your body pass your lips. It doesn't matter, you thought to yourself. So you decided to keep walking. You did not want to be late to class.

But it seems like the luck wasn't on your side that day. He turned around and walked up to you as he yelled out.

"Ahoy there, mermaid!" He smirked as your eyes met. "Skipping class again, I see. What's your excuse this time? Lost your voice singing to the fishes?"

James Hook, now leaning against a stone pillar, hook on his right hand and a mischievous glint in his eyes as his eyes scanned you.

"Hook, I unline you, am actually trying to now get there in time." You rolled your eyes at his teasing but decided that maybe it was time for you to finally tease him back a bit. "But don't worry, I've got a treasure map to Merlin's class. Care to actually join me?"

You saw a little tint of blush forming on his face, but you must have imagined it. And just as you thought that this would be the end of your conversation, he did something that left you stunned.

"Merlin's class? That's the real curse of Neverland. But I'd follow you anywhere, little mermaid." He gave you a wink, smirking.

You found yourself blushing, but no... it... it can't be. Luckily, you quickly regained your composure and continued your, playful, rivalry banter.

"You know, pirate, I've heard rumors about your hook. Is it true you lost it in a duel with a giant squid?" You leaned over closer to him.

"Aye, but it wasn't just any squid—it was the one that stole my heart." He smirked as he leaned down, closer to your face. "But now, here I am, a one-handed pirate with a penchant for trouble and a weakness for mermaid smiles."

You found yourself laughing at his flirting. You couldn't help it, it was just so... so endearing.

"Well, Captain, I've got a secret too." You said, with a little smirk planted on your face. "I've hidden my voice in a shell. Only the right kiss can unlock it. Interested?"

And so you did that for a while until you two were actually late for Merlin's class. You walked in, and Hook did not. But there was no way that you would admit to anyone, even your friends, why you walked into the class flushed, cheeks pink, with a stupid smile on your face.

You do, of course, realize that this was a bit abnormal. He was a pirate and part of Uliana's crew. You were a mermaid princess, daughter of the Triton himself. It was not normal, but as the days passed and what was a true rivalry, banter turned into just pure flirting, you found yourself not really caring.

As weeks passed and the flirting continued, somehow, you found yourself having a pirate boyfriend. After all of that, Hook and you started dating. Somehow.

And it was better than you ever expected it to be. You sometimes felt like, outside of Uliana's crew, you were the only one that he was nice to. It was... perplexing. But you loved it.

However, you both agreed that you should keep your relationship a secret for a while for both of your sakes. You weren't dumb. You both knew how your friends would react if you told them that you were dating. So that's how it all started. Secret stolen glances when nobody was looking, passing notes in class, stolen kisses when you were all alone, and, of course, flirty teasing banter.

That's how you found yourself, pressed against a tree in the school's courtyard, Hook with his hand by your head, his hook under your chin, trapping you.

"You're a siren in a landlocked school." He spoke, looking into your eyes. "Your voice could raise sunken ships, and your smile—well, that's my undoing."

"Tell me, Hook, do you ever dream of flying?" You asked as you started to trace your finger along his hook. "Not in a ship, but with wings made of stardust?"

He looked at you, captivated.

"Every night, my dear. And in my dreams, you're the compass guiding me through constellations." He leaned down towards you, your lips almost meating until something happened. Something that would change this forever.

"Hook!!" The terrifyingly hight and mighty voice rang out along the school courtyard.

You both turned around and froze as you came face to face with Uliana, Hades, Maleficent and a few more people that joined the courtyard when they heard yelling.

"But reality has a way of clipping my wings." Hook sighed as he moved away from you slowly, your heart speading up and breaking at the same time.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Uliana screamed. "What are you doing with a mermaid?!"

That's when you noticed something. Yes, Hook moved away from you, but his hand with his hook that was under your chin was now placed on your waist, still holding you close to him.

"Calm down, Uliana." Hook spoke up, looking at him.

"Calm down?!" Uliana yelled, absolutely fuming. "Are you seriously telling me to calm down right now?!"

"Yes." Hook said, "Yes, I am."

"Don't play games with me, Hook." She threatened before throwing a glance your way, smirking as she plotted against you. "If you don't stop doing whatever you're doing with this one, you will no longer be a part of my crew."

A moment of science was heard around the courtyard, and you know that it was over. He couldn't give up on his crew, and you most certainly did not want him to, so that means that your relationship has reached its inevitable end. Your heart was breaking as you looked on the ground, slowly moving away from Hook.

"You won't do that." He spoke up, his voice strong, ringing out. "We won't end our relationship." He turned to you and brought you closer to him once again, smiling at you before turning to Uliana with a determined look.

"You know that you need me whether you liked it or not. So, no, you won't throw me away from the rest of the crew. And even if you do, it doesn't matter. I still have her, and that is something that nothing will be able to change." He spoke as her face was formed into pure shock.

"So good day." He sarcastically bowed before he ruined around with you and walked away.

"Don't worry, she'll come around." You looked at him. "Maybe..."

"I honestly don't really care." He shrugged, his eyes ringing with truth. "I have you now, little mermaid, that's all I need and so much more, really."

I showed a few parts of this larger ref while responding to asks yesterday, so might as well post the whole thing akfhskfhskf

Version without texture overlay + character design thoughts and lore under the cut!

I'm gonna start this off by saying that I am not a biologist and that my attempts at speculative biology are operating by "rule of cool" in some parts of this design.

Wraith's design is largely based on cephalopods, with mimic octopus, bobtail squid, and cuttlefish playing a key role as design inspirations. My goal for their design in this form was to keep their anatomy and physiology as close to the typical structure of cephalopods as possible without sacrificing the necessary physical features that would allow them to adapt to life outside of the water. I wanted them to look alien, but still endearing, and to emphasize the fact that they are very much still a child despite their size and strangeness.

A quick note on some terms from the flavor text on the image:

Buccal mass: mouthparts of a cephalopod, including the beak and the musculature that allows it to open and close

Mantle: the main body of a cephalopod that protects and contains all of its major organs

Flavor text:

Arms Vs. Tentacles: on cephalopods, Arms refer to appendages which have suckers along the entire length of the limbs underside, while Tentalces only have suckers at the club-like end

1. Blue of blood shows through in membranes/thinner areas of flesh

2. Primary mouth/buccal mass

3. External gills

4. Siphon

5. Ridges flare when threatened

6. Tentacles and rear arm merge, acts as counterweight to aid in bipedal locomotion

7. Lower anterior arms merge to form legs; lack of proper bones means bipedal locomotion is unsteady

8. Upper arms adapted hands to better manipulate objects

9. The two rear-most appendages are proper tentacles, and are capable of manipulating objects almost as effectively as main hands

10. Two mouths, one form consumption, one for speech*

- 10A. Secondary mouth hidden by barbles, chitin** structure within resembles a fused set of teeth. This mouth can be used to eat, but there's a high risk of choking

- 10B. Resting position of beak in primary mouth, retracted into buccal mass

- 10C. Extended position of beak in primary mouth; capable of breaking down mollusk shells and biting through bone

11. Natural posture when unfurled

12. Defensive stance

13. The skin covering the mantel forms a cavity into which the head can partially withdraw

14. Capable of spitting ink from secondary mouth when in distress

15. Eyes are large with highly reflective pupils; excellent dark vision

16. Nictitating membrane rises to protect the eye when biting, may also rise when distressed

17. Retractable claws inside suckers

Extra design lore and speculative biology:

18. Blood is a deep blue, appears black under water, and turns clear as it dries. Texture is thick and viscous

** in the image I wrote keratin, but research has shown me that a squids beak is actually made of chitin rather than keratin! Keratin may still be present, but it's not the main polymer in the makeup of the beak structure. I know this is a silly fun character design, but I try to remain somewhat accurate with how I engage the biological aspects, so I wanted to correct my mistake

At the current moment of this design, Wraith is 11 years old, and stands at 5 ft 4 in [168 cm] when using their legs. They measure 6 ft [183 cm] long from head to tail when unfurled/in the water. Their height and size relative to their age is above average compared to humans, but is more or less in line with the normal growth rate for deep sea tritons, which are the largest of the triton variants. Their height out of the water is limited by their physiology; Wraith lacks proper bones, so maintaining an upright form requires a lot more effort and energy. They rely heavily on mobility aids (rollator, cane, wheelchair) if they'll be walking or standing for long periods of time in their true form.

The changeling magic that enables their shape-shifting provides a level of structural stability to their body when in disguise that makes life outside of the water easier, but they still require more rest and breaks from standing than other able-bodied children of their own age. The form that provides the most stability is their "default" triton disguise, which they've carefully tailored to be as comfortable as possible so they can have a more active lifestyle. Smaller disguise forms are easier to manage, as the compression of their body makes those forms more stable to hold. Their triton disguise form measures out to only 3 ft 5 in [103 cm] tall which is much easier for them to maintain out of the water.

EATING CONSUMING THANK YOU I AM FED

Me shaking hands with the you from half a year ago cause like the question of if it should be Layton who gets tortured is real. On one hand he has so so much good material for that but on the other he's already carrying to guilt for everything he's done an didn't do so like scaring him straight doesn't seem like an effective strategy XD

If the spirit of the future is Claire I will die on the spot. Diitri is also a banger pick even though you don't usually see empathy from the spirit of future and Dimitri is so empathetic to hershel he literally kinned him... BUT LIKE MY THOUGHT WAS MAYBE HAVING THE FUTURE LAYTON DISGUIE COMPLETELY ABSTRACTED FROM DIMITRI HIMSELF Like tall imposing white suited reaper-like creature with it's face hidden, representing all the worst things Layton might become. ... In that way it could also be Baron Rainold but also what if we make him Jacob Marley. .... Actually we have so many good candidats for jacob marley shoot shoot augh

(lesia keep her mind on one topic challenge. impossible)

I like Descole or Randall as the spirit of present just to die in a span of an hour lmao. Clark could also be that but yea we're so making Luke tiny tim so we need Layton to be working with Clark which i think works

DALSTON DALSTON IT IS I ACTIALLY JUST WANT TO SEE HIM DRESSED UP ALL FATHER CHRISTMAS-LIKE

I want flora in the story so so bad ....what if we actually tiny tim her....but like she's not dead in the future she's just cut all contact with Layton augh

Thank you for the food i will proceed to think about this forever i love the christmas carol so so much too

The kid is so tired from all the running around, just let him have a smol sleep 😭😭😭

[somedudenamedruiz]

Honestly, just a list of my Ruptide headcannons.

This is mostly for myself but enjoy lol

Chip plays the fiddle. Jay plays the violin

Gillion was taught traditional art forms alongside his sword play and magic. (Bead work, a particular type of flower arrangement that i do not know what it's called, might add more.)

Gillion Tidestrider is bioluminescent and venomous. (Lionfish spines)

Chip and Gil both have pink-red lightning scars from Pelagus.

Gil has pink streaks in his hair, also from pelagus. Chip has orangish yellow ones.

Triton have their own language. Basically, it's a modernized Primordial. Their stripes light up as part of it. (Think wings of fire.)

Jay knows Primordial because of poetry. Ik Grizz said it as a joke, but it's funny to think she can read the equivalent of Beowulf. It's the type of nerd shit I love her for.

Order of height from tallest to shortest goes Jay, Chip, Gil. Gil will always be 5'1 to me. (6' smthn, 5'8, 5'1)

Gil has so absurdly much beadwork on his and the others clothes. So much free time on a ship, man.

Jay does leatherwork! Partially for practicality, because artificer. Partially because she just likes it.

Gillion Tidestrider has a secret chicken. It's a sea chicken. That's where he gets his special eggs. Thank my brother for this one. It looks something like this v

^Gil keeps giving feathers to Jay. She does not know where the hell he's getting them from.

The captains all have piercings later in the timeline. Jay has angel bites, Chip has spider bites, and Gil has shark bites. ;]

Jay's hair gets progressively more frizzy and big as time goes on because of salt water and humidity.

Chip has an incomplete cleft lip. A gold tooth, a chipped tooth, and extra canine teeth. Because unique features are fun.

Jay has full wing tattoos on her back instead of the little feather tattoo. Cause cool.

Gillion's armor is made from a combination of different types of shells with only a little bit of metal. Lighter, more accessible with very limited trade with oversea, and it doesn't rust.

A lot of Gil's clothes are made out of lotus silk. Traded from swampy areas. It doesn't wrinkle barely at all, is waterproof, and dries very fast. It is stupid expensive.

Chip has top-surgery scars. He got it done cheap and very questionably, but he got it done. Probably aren't symetrical.

Gil's tail is damaged after the stronghold in the black sea. Bro got peeled. Missing half of his main tail fin.

^ Jay made him a prosthetic one. It has their Jolly Rodger on it. (Think Toothless)

Triton have something like palm readings, where they read their stripes patterns!

Triton have retractable gums. Fish have spines, which hurts. So gums retract.

Triton also have claws. Shaped kinda like an eagle or a grizzle bear. Cause they both catch fish.

Triton have horizontal pupils. (Big peripheral vision) They can dialate really big.

Triton have thick ass hair. It's dense, and it doesn't absorb water. Probably diesnt tangle, either. Tend to have a couple of layers of color. (Gil's goes dark green, light green, white. Same with Edyn.)

^ Hairstyles are cut in said layers to show each of them

Chip started kind of opposed to touching Gil, because fish slime and spines. That got thrown out the wondow at some point, though.

Cuddle piles are a frequent thing with the captains now. Because it's sweet, and I said so.

Sometimes Gillion forgets that he can't breathe air through his gills. Habit, mostly. The turtleneck puts just a little bit of pressure on them, so he forgets less often.

Chip's habit of accidentally setting things on fire in his sleep were 100% early manifestations of his fire magic.

Chip learned the hard way that Triton spines shoot venom when pressure is applied.

All of the Captains have SOMETHING that glows in the dark on them by later in the timeline. Gil's fins, stripes, and eyes. Chip's tattoos. Jay's eye, and probably her wings tattoos.

Jay's yellow eye looks more like a hawk's than a human one.

Gillion absolutely does not understand any stigma there might be around being trans or genderqueer in any way. He is a fish. They kind of just do that. That's how a LOT of fish work.

They all have different levels of culinary skill. Jay grew up helping her mom in the tavern. She's a great cook. Chip fended for himself for the majority of his life. It might not be the best tasting, but it'll fill you up. Gillion is not allowed in the kitchen.

Chip has higher heels than Jay does. Jay is still taller.

Jay Ferin does the thing that Blackbeard (the real dude) dide, where she braids slow, burning fuses into her hair. When lit, it makes it look like her hair is smoking. She learned it from Drey, who used to do the same thing. Neither of them have the flame hair, so they made their own.

I'll add more when I think of them :>

Stay tuned for updates lmao

[kdpartworks]

Gots a question to ask! When jellyseidons Triton was born, was he in egg mode? Like a chicken egg? Amphi or Seidon carrying him around in one of them sling things? Maybe Zeus scribbled sunglasses onto the shell idk

BWHAHAH OMG I LOVED THE IDEA THAT ZEUS BEING SUCH A GOOBER UNCLE!

But no, Jellyseidon can choose to mate with eggs - chosing a host - or in the mammals way.

The difference Is basically that using the eggs his offspring are monsters, like Charybdis. While in the mammals way they are more like him and - in this case - like his wife.

Triton was carried by Amphitrite like a regular Mommy 💖
