"why does it still surprise you that I got a cat? I love cats!"

[carinaestarlight]

thinking about how freelancer is a person who for most of their life has been so fixated on helping people but felt so helpless when they couldn't do anything but watch xavier die. also thinking about how their emotions pushed gavin's magic to instinctively do something to protect the bearer of those feelings along with a large number of people. how fl gained secondary trauma from that occurrence and gavin's magic put forth something colossal to make it stop— can you imagine if it weren't secondary? fl needing to fight against the shades because gavin was growing weak and xavier didn't come. i wonder what his magic would have done if something happened directly to his partner. not as a spectator but as the direct receiver of the pain of having your life sucked out of your body. if the secondary pain fl suffered during that moment was what it took him to put up such an extensive ward, imagine what a primary one would have done.

y’all everyone is saying this but i’m gonna say it too, do. NOT. make this a repeat of Fred and Bright, don’t punish erik for making a realistic listener, no one is perfect and people make mistakes, sometimes more than once, having a listener who disagrees with their partner is a part of a realistic world that is being built with these audios, keep that in mind please

i’m making up siren/mermaid lore bc we have none and canon is a suggestion to me!!!

it’s all over the place but i need to get this all down

mermaids

mermaids are the umbrella magical race term for both of them, but sirens get their own seat in the ruling council (much like gavin explained how succubi and incubi get their own seats).

mermaids are NOT shifters, but fall more into the spectrum of the vampire’s relationship with magic.

they mainly live in the water, but there are a couple different kinds that live in more amphibious environments, preferring to sun themselves on rocks instead of floating in a reef. mermaids have a call like sirens, but it’s only to attract mates and prey (most of the time, their calls are used ONLY for mates as they’re great hunters)

taking inspo from h2o, best mermaid show you can be turned, tho the process is tedious and quite painful. many don’t go down this route. empowered people wishing to be turned often lose all of their powers, and if they don’t, it’s a mere fraction of what they used to have. for example; a fire elemental becomes a mermaid and loses most of their magic. however, they can warm the water around them and are immune to any underwater vents or volcanos. if an unempowered person turns, they only gain better eyesight and hearing.

to transport a mermaid is similar to transporting aquatic life. this is why the council has their meetings once a year to discuss mermaid-specific issues.

sirens

sirens are shifters! the turning process is far less painful and lengthy than a mermaids. they align more with a wolf shifter’s relationship with magic. able to learn more and empowered people always keep their magic.

a siren’s call is the most dangerous thing about them. they are known to lure whomever for whatever they want. often times sirens are compared to sex demons, since their calls tend to be more lust driven than anything else.

when an unempowered person is turned, they gain better hearing and eyesight, and exceptional illusory beauty. essentially, when they use their call, a person that answers will see their desired partner or “type” or “dream person”. this is similar to sex demons, but sirens don’t physically change themselves. think of it as a funhouse mirror. you, yourself aren’t changed, but the mirror has been warped to change your appearance. that’s illusory beauty. it’s only on when they use their call, otherwise a siren appears as they are normally.

sirens live on land only, but many live in costal cities, as they are particularly fond of the ocean. a water elemental siren may spend more time in the ocean or take a job involving the beach/water.

can sirens and mermaids intermarry and reproduce?

yes! sirens are mermaids, but mermaids aren’t sirens. however, their DNA is similar enough that many half-siren half-mermaid children have been born over the years.

it’s difficult to be in a relationship with each other, as one is water-only, and the other land-only. research has been done to try and shift a mermaid, but results have been disappointing.

how long do they live?

mermaids and sirens are not immortal, contrary to popular belief.

they have an above average lifespan, with mermaids averaging 200 years and sirens living an extra 10 years (data on sirens has been little).

do these races face discrimination?

yes. sirens in particular are always compared to sex demons, and their reputation for luring in people has only amplified that. most sirens don’t use their call for evil, and puberty is an especially hard time for them. calls from sirens in puberty are random and happen uncontrollably. many sirens have been bullied due to their magical race and are viewed with the same disdain as demons. many go incognito and suppress their auras to avoid any potential problems.

all the shifters subconsciously do that head perking up thing when their mates walk through the door

currently a heatwave in the uk and it barely cools down at night so i have hauled my ass downstairs to sleep on the sofa where it's coolest

made me think of angel teasing david like a puppy in a heatwave like. they drive somewhere and david stays in the car while angel runs out to do wtv and before they go they stick a sign to the window like

'please dont break the window. the ac is on. he has water and is listening to his favourite music <33'

Was talking about Gavin not letting Freelancer out of bed and decided to use them as the next multiple-people-practice, and threw in some weird lighting practice to boot <3

Asher played Persona 5 once and didn’t even finish it but now whenever he calls David, the first thing he says is, “What’s bonkin’.” David has hung up on him more than once.
