Mermay Special Prompt 4

Go on vacation, they said. We can watch Gotham, they said. Just go hang with and adjust to caring for kids, they said. Yeah, well no one said anything about getting cursed while at the vacation lake house, which okay, fine. But did it have to affect the kids too? 

Bruce pressed his head in his hands, groaning in dismay as the children practically zoomed around the surrounding water with enthusiastic trills and squeals he could somehow understand. And through the air, to their increasing delight. Okay. Okay this is fine. 

It wasn’t like he also somehow now had an extra child who looked like one at most that he had no clue as to where they came from. Said child wasn’t squirming in his arms, black scales and tiny fins akin to the setting of a sun twisting as they chirped. Definitely not. 

Okay. Alright. He could figure this out. Probably…. hopefully…

Cursed by Aquaman’s complete lack of fandom. I was thinking about Arthur Jr.’s haunting of the narrative all last week and had no one to talk to about it. The impact his death had on Arthur’s character as well as his relationship with Mera until the new52–they never recovered from it long term. Current Aquaman is lacking in Arthur’s internal conflict department. He used to be so messed up and now we get *checks notes* Jeremy Adams.

Whalemack!

He’s a gray/grey whale, very nice and VERY big (though about half the size of a blue whale). He’s been mostly solitary for a while, sometimes joining other whales on their migrations, but then he starts collecting little mer children that make travel hard. I’ll probably add some scars from boats/etc to this design. And we need to figure out if mers have tattoos 🧐

"sharks are good and dolphins are evil XD" guys undoing the shark stigma does not mean creating a new one. calling endangered animals evil isn't the Science Own you think it is

Dolphinnnnnn i finished L&L and you’re one of the two people who’s used the Asbel/Lambda tag so pls yell with me about them 🥺

OKAY WELL REMEMBER YOU ASKED FOR IT 😂 Time to raise the age rating of my blog!

I mean for me it's largely the tsundere-isms. Pav can testify that when I streamed Lineage and Legacies for her i was cackling throughout most of Lambda and Asbel's conversations, they always go the EXACT same way and it's so stupidly funny: Lambda shows up to insult/threaten Asbel, Asbel decides to view it in the rosiest tinted glasses in the fucking world and ends up either thanking or complimenting Lambda, and Lambda always IMMEDIATELY leaves with some insightful like commentary "This is foolishness," or "Hmph." That is peak comedy to me, watching a dude set a trap then fall for it himself 😂 "Haha I'm going to ruin this guy's life for fun and oh no, what are these, feelings?? Abort!!"

I know I'm always poor little meow-meowing Lambda a bit, but it's clear the loosely defined "guy" has been loved by exactly 1 (One) person and then that guy was fucking murdered which made Lambda think that love, or anything good really, would never find him again. So for Asbel to show up with unconditional positive regard despite barely knowing him, and forgiveness despite everything Lambda had done... yeah I'd fall for someone like that too 😅 He's such a kind man, it's the trait we love most about him 💜

Personally I'm fine to see Lambda and Asbel written platonically, like in the fic I wrote (which I'm assuming you're referencing in your ask thank you for the kudos 💜) where it's more ambiguous and a little one sided. But ALSO personally I think Asbel should have a harem, EVERYONE'S a little in love with the guy (but that's probably my oh so obvious bias talking 😅) (bonus points if Asbel's contentedly aromantically oblivious to his polycule). Asbel's always radiating beams of friendship, and he believes in people so much it makes them want to believe in themselves. And for characters who feel/have been told they are unlovable and shouldn't exist? Yeah that's how you get partners who are utterly obsessed 😅

But that's the more wholesome take on shipping them... there's also the appeal of more toxic and/or erotic dynamics. I'm not 100 percent sure this is what you're asking for so if the idea makes you (or anyone reading this) feel uncomfy, this is the paragraph to stop reading at.

So the fun thing about characters undergoing potential redemption arcs is that their journey can be nonlinear, or completely unsuccessful. I have no qualms about keeping Lambda in an antagonistic role regardless of Asbel's support. In some ways it makes sense for him to doubt or dislike Asbel's love; after all, it's unfamiliar and uncomfortable. If Asbel is right in his assertion that humans have potential, it means that Lambda was wrong to hurt and attempt to exterminate them, and that's not easy to admit. So it's fun to imagine Lambda doing everything in his power to make Asbel hate him so he can "win" this argument of whether he's redeemable or not. Things like bullying and intimidation like in canon, or more serious stuff like trying to kill Asbel's friends with his own hands :)

But that's barely toxic, in fact that could have a very wholesome ending if so desired. There's also some "fun" dynamics to be had with jealousy and abuse; it stands to reason the being possessing a guy would be, well, possessive 😅 If Lambda latches onto for Asbel for his kindness without actually internalizing it himself, we get into some pretty toxic stuff :) My long fic, though not shippy, does this, blurring the lines of Lambda's possessiveness from "you're mine" into "you're ME, you're an extension of myself and thus have no agency beyond what I permit." He's mistaken Asbel's friendship for unwavering approval and agreement with his worldview and actions, he blatantly violates his boundaries, and he dismisses his protests as "foolishness" or "not understanding reality." In the long fic, this comes to a confrontational breaking point (murder-suicide attempt), but knowing canon Asbel's endless belief in others even to his/their own detriment (like failing to call out Richard sooner during the main arc), I could see Asbel letting himself be abused for far too long under the misguided notion he can still "save" Lambda (good luck convincing someone who's actively benefitting from their actions to stop them buddy 😔).

As for the erotic, there's the sormik of it all... You know, the whole *leans into my imaginary microphone* fellas is it gay to live inside another man? 😅 It's probably not very hard to get someone off if you have direct control of their body huh. In fact, getting back to the jealousy thing and the fact that I'm still a hardcore Richass shipper, I like to think Lambda could get a little jealous of Asbel's arousal at Richard's hands and is like "oh that? I can do that here watch" and picking the absolute WORST moment to demonstrate. So Asbel has to clean himself up and awkwardly explain the reason why he and Richard keep that in the bedroom, beyond just for comfort's sake 😅

In conclusion, I like them :) They can be the most wholesome redemption-through-love pairing, or the most toxic fucked up kinky thing imaginable. Or both! They're fun 💜

Istg if the next time they come to aus they don't get to go do something properly in nature Not the beach 🔨🔨🔨 like for example all the unique fauna and flora we have to offer. The stuff chan and felix wrote a whole song lamenting after the bushfires.

A new chapter of ‘Transdimensional Arc, Alcor Finds a Ford!’ (by @random-dragons-interest-hoarde) came out, so I revisited some old doodles from back when chapter two was published. (These are newer versions)

I tried to be clever on how dinosaur clothing would work on Ford, but I think I just made it needlessly complicated

“Why does Ford’s fin look different?” Because no one can agree what the Spinosaurus looked like and I stopped paying attention, only to realize my mistake while writing this post.

More versions below:

No clothes

Clothes no shading

Close up clothes

Close up swimming/flying

If you haven’t read the fic yet, GO DO IT!!!! It’s worth it, and there’s not many chapters out yet so it won’t be hard to catch up! (And it has DINOSAURS and TALKING DOLPHINS)

with every nice comment on one of my fics, I become even more of a Sicko >:)

[dolphinrostrums]

we really want a chance to meditate in water again... there was a sound bath event that happened at the pool we go to that we went to, which is where we finally were able to answer the question "what the fuck are we" (answer: a dolphin). there's supposed to be another sound bath happening according to the human mother, but we don't know where or when.

some part of us really wants to try sensory deprivation tanks, but we also know that even non-psychotic folks have experienced vivid hallucinations as a result of the sensory deprivation, and we worry that--being schizophrenic--we could end up having a really bad, terrifying experience as opposed to a good, helpful one (like we had with the sound bath event). not to mention the costs involved, needing to get transportation, etc etc.

idk. we just want a quiet, intentionally peaceful space where we can float in water (with nobody talking. that is the most important part. 0 words at all. we cannot focus with words. others' words invade our mind and break our concentration. they are, like, 85% of the reason we can't just do it at home). i know to a lot of people think stuff like sound baths and meditation are sort of... frilly or too spiritual or whatever, but it was really helpful. i think we would've figured out we were a dolphin eventually, but it would've been a lot longer and a lot more painful of a process than it was just being able to float in the water and answer the question that way.

(and i think, honestly, we needed to figure it out then, because as long as we were unaware of our dolphinity, our mental health was in a severe downward spiral.)

thinking about when i had such intense phantom limbs as a kid i told my math teacher about it
