Snap, crackle, and pop along with a great assortment of classical pieces from the mid-1920s.

Mod comment: Had to remove the images, they were linked from off-site and messing up theme dimensions. :/

I am very interested in helping flesh some of these out, particularly mermaids because that is the monster close to my heart. I have a cultural anthropology background and consider myself a concept/research monkey. Any way I can help, please, please, please let me know.

Whoops, mermaids being marked as open was actually a mistake (I had put them both as claimed and unclaimed, haha). I’ve been chipping away at some mermaid and siren canon for the past few months, so they will be posted soon! They will be very open to personal interpretation though, so you’ll be able to do your own spin on them easily.

In the meantime, outside of species any inspirational stuff or period reference is great. Submissions for this community are open, so you can submit stuff that way or send in links to tumblr posts and we can reblog them here!
