“With the power of the Sea God’s vow, I command you—reclaim this heart, and end our everlasting bond.”

“The Sea God doesn’t need this heart!”

“I’ll become one with the sea and stay with you forever.”

“Our bond…It cannot end this way! I won’t allow it!”

[fictionfuel]

Enthalassophobia AU Idea:

Spoilersss but 1 want the grand event of Enthalassophobia to be the Seek aggregate meeting the Searchlight in the first Searchlight section!!

TLDR: Seek wins.

CW: Descriptions of bodily harm, both human and nonhuman

This happens through a particularly unlucky expendable who first encounters the Seek chase in the corridors of the Hadal Blacksite. Guiding Light was never captured; instead, GL followed the monsters along with Mischievous Light; thus, the expendable is guided through the correct doors, trusting the blue light with no other option when some of the rooms are too dark or too covered in goop to find any other escape.

The chase just doesn’t end. They reach the room opening to submerged pipes, and only then does the expendable manage to ‘dodge’ Seek by leaping over the railing into the water, swimming down without a single glance back, ignoring the prickling of watchful eyes in the back of their head. Their diving mask’s fogging up but still they push forward with their straining heart.

Soon after leaving the pipes, they make their way over to the generators needing repair as the booming voice in the speakers commands them to. The jolts from their mistakes are almost grounding — for the first two, at least.

On the closed balcony, they start feeling light on their feet. The grand storage unit was equipped with gravity-altering systems to assist with the movement of heavy containers; now, with that gone haywire, a Searchlight has managed to break in and is effortlessly hovering above, looking for prey.

Despite the challenge of commanding their own body, they push forward. Squeezing under forklifts and between crates —it aches—, gaze always turned up in tears —look down, so bright, so bright—, finally they bring back power to enough generators to get out.

The exit’s horns are like a guardian angel’s call. They’re only around 50 studs away.

The Searchlight is only 50 studs away.

They can make it, they’re so close to salvation, they can make it.

…

They can’t make it, the spotlight is on them, the Searchlight whines at its victory, they can’t make it.

At this point, they’re too gone to even process the calcium spear sticking out of their chest, innards stuck on the barbs of it and pulled up.

Their own silence is filled with an inhuman scream. In an instant, darkness shoots forward to grab ahold of their arms. Burning hands in hand, except this one was massive, formed of black goop. The same humanoid that chased them before, stood there with its eye —eyes, all off them— pinned on them.

The funnier description to help cope would be a game of tug-of-war between these two monsters, the expendable as their rope. Except this rope hears the flesh of their own waist cracking and snapping off, and gets out one last cry before Seek ends the chase —their agony— and claims its prey.

Now, as the Searchlight’s determination pulls harder on the infected corpse, the part of Seek confronting it above ground is dislodged and flown up in seconds. Devoured, the goop travels between shredding teeth, through throats and organs…

The floating beast shrieks. Its fins spasming, no longer swimming through the air, it sinks — falls, destroying half the room. In the rising dust, it’s motionless.

Seek does not kill. Seek expands.

Black tendrils rise from the giant’s openings, coating it with the same plague eating away at this Blacksite. The diminished orange light returns in full force; now each source is surrounded by dark eyelids and eclipsed partially by a pupil in the center.

A new weapon for the Seek aggregate.

Sidenote: Figure would get absolutely eaten by the Searchlight, like any other prey — and it does happen for now. Maybe. 1 never cared about Figure much but perhaps 1 could find a better place to insert it, because it has functionally no advantage over the giant floating creechur whose lights emit no sound (1 mean when they’re moving; even when they spot you, you gotta recognize that noise and hide, which Figure wouldn’t.)

In my opinion. These are all just my opinions/ideas!

more about gauwl

their planet is so far from its sun that years aren't as relevant to them as the regular times when the larger of their two moons eclipses the other

they like to drink strong distilled spirits. during the first meeting gauwl had with humans they served drinks as is tradition and were greatly impressed seeing their human guests drink without getting drunk. even after learning that humans just can't digest the active ingredient they still think it's funny to see humans drink it like nothing

they don't really wear clothes bc they already have fur so it's more just shawls, wraps, light armor, and jewelry

they are stinky. they have an intense musky smell that humans find either sexy or repulsive

in the old days they would howl to communicate across long distances but then they invented radio. humans discovered them by following their radio signals, which are largely about tracking storms and arguing about people stealing their herds

their planet doesn't really have water that's safe to be submerged in so they don't have a history of swimming or bathing. they like to stand over natural hot air vents and build giant hair dryers into their houses. also they comb each other's fur

everything on their planet has or had six limbs but they're the only ones to have the taur body type which means their front paws could become smaller and more dextrous

their favorite thing to hunt are big beasts that look like gavadon type a with six webbed feets and leap in and out of the snow. but they also keep different types of domestic six-legged animals

around the time a gauw is ten eclipses old their horns will branch for the first time and then they officially become an adult. after that branching of horns happens several times, mostly depending on health, but gauwl usually link it to life events anyway

man yesterday's "debate" with that dude on Twitter was like

---

"Why didn't Sonic just warp directly to the Cannon in SA2?"

"Because the Core was flooded and needed to be drained first. If he warped there, he would have drowned because it was submerged."

[long detour, in which it is okay for them to bring up the Olympic Games' gameplay as proof as Shadow can swim, but not okay for me to bring up SA2's gameplay as proof he cannot because every character drowns in SA2, therefore it doesn't count. also I have not played the games, apparently, because I did not show them a screenshot of Shadow explicitly turning to the camera and saying "I cannot swim"]

"GOALPOST MOVING, U ILLITERATE CHODE. Okay but why didn't Sonic warp directly to the Eclipse Cannon to destroy it?"

"Because Sonic was inexperienced in Chaos Control. When he used it for the first time to escape the capsule, he landed in a completely random spot. You can't risk accidentally teleporting even farther away from your goal when the clock is ticking."

"HMM, AWFUL SUS HOW HE WASTED PRECIOUS TIME BY FIGHTING SHADOW."

"Yeah, but he was headed towards the Eclipse Cannon anyway. Also it's worth noting that the boss fight is structured like a race for a reason."

"BUT SONIC FIGHTS SHADOW TOO, IT'S NOT JUST A RACE."

"I didn't say it was just a race."

"BUT SONIC STOPPED TO FIGHT SHADOW WHEN HE COULD HAVE TELEPORTED AWAY FROM SHADOW."

"And Shadow would have hunted him down, because Eggman called Shadow to intercept him. If Sonic hadn't beaten him, he could very well have been killed and failed the mission. Besides, by virtue of being, you know, the fastest hedgehog alive, Sonic can manage both defeating Shadow while outracing him to the Cannon."

"BUT SONIC COULD HAVE DESTROYED THE CANNON FIRST AND THEN FOUGHT SHADOW."

"yeah I guess, if you wanna twist things that way. fuck me man idk what you want me to say"

"SO YOU ADMIT THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS DOESN'T MATTER AND I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. WHY DID YOU FIGHT ME ON THIS?"

Lol just say you don't want to meet the narrative in good faith and bounce.

Knock on Wood the Eclipse is just a natural event...

From a severed Rabbits foot to broken mirrors we human beings are taught to rely on Superstition to live our lives better.

Religion being the biggest superstition there ever was,..... billions living their lives on the word of a fake, man-made creator so profiteering can insue, and if you don't believe it your going to burn in a hellish place depicted in famous artists renditions of Hell hired by the church, so you can see it for yourself,........ and seeing is believing is the logic at play....

We have all but bastardised cute little black cats because the early church deemed them the harbingers of evil Witch spirits.

Whether it's a lucky penny, or Friday the 13th, superstitions are important to us because they give us meaning to often unknown things.

And superstitions put our dumb asses back in the driving seat of destiny, ........so we are told by unscrupulous individuals anyway.

Like the ancient old "Knocking on wood" that is still kept alive today in media of all sorts. Origins of, and meanings of, submerged in ancient cultures superstitions and folklore said to be based upon ancient Christian beliefs about spirits in the trees being either bad or good, and can be called upon for protection or chased away by Knocking on Wood, and the magical power of the wooden crucifix!

Yeah, hadn't heard of that one have ya, the wooden cross early superstitions in religious beliefs. Fairy Tales to teach children to follow the church....

Another great one is "Throwing Salt Over Your Shoulder", and if you research the origin of this superstition you'll find this superstition involves the idea of 'Warding off evil' from the Devil himself by tossing salt over one's shoulder.

Ya see,..... In Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper Jesus' betrayer, Judas Iscariot, is portrayed as having accidently spilled salt. And the argument being that spilling salt will bring you bad fortune, and the superstition further states you should take a pinch of the spilled salt and throw it over your left shoulder to cancel the bad luck, which Judas clearly didn't do!

"Walking under a ladder" superstition, also has its roots in Christian symbolism of the Holy Trinity of the father, the son and the holy spirit. An association of the number "3". A ladder being the symbolism of a triangle in that The ladder, when leaned against the wall, forms a right triangle where the ladder is the hypotenuse, the wall is one leg, and the ground between the ladder and the wall is the other leg. So naturally, to walk under that ladder would be to destroy the sanctity of the Trinity and thus incur divine punishment.

It's all superstition, and created for one thing, to get you to believe reality is not real, and they only reality you should see is the one you are taught about by religious leaders, who want your financial support, and billions give it through superstitious beliefs they were taught to believe in.

Have a great Eclipse experience, and hold your breath just a little bit in honor of all the superstitions out there that hope for tragedy to extend their grasp on humanity...

Resplendent

word count: 1220

Pairing: Neteyam Sully x Female! Metkayina! Na'vi Reader Tags/warnings: Fluff, angst, bittersweet, established relationship, adult reader, adult Neteyam, no smut Summary: Neteyam quietly watches you from the shore as you perform a ritual dance in the water, to the utter delight of your daughters.

Author's Note: Set some time after the big battle. Also moved those events further ahead. You and Neteyam are mated and have children before the RDA attacks the reef. Got inspired by the song~

Sa’nu - mum, mommy

Tahni - bioluminescent freckle

Close your eyes.

Deep breathes.

Remember the moves.

Remember the words...

Your heart thrums in your chest almost painfully. You take a deep, slow, calming breath; placing a hand over your heart.

“Sa’nu? Are you okay?”

You open your eyes, looking down to meet the gaze of your youngest daughter. The cool water of the sea comes up to her neck. Sweet thing. You told her, she and her sister could watch you from the shoreline. But they were persistent to be as close to you as possible. The water barely reaches your hips.

You offer a soft smile, reaching down and affectionately stroking her hair.

“I’m okay…Don’t worry my little star. Mommy’s just nervous.” The 5-year-old beams up at you with a toothy grin. Your 6-year-old beside her pats you on the arm.

“You practiced aaaaall the time! You got this.” She offers you her own encouraging smile. You give her an appreciative nod before facing the shoreline once more. You return your face to neutrality, closing your eyes once again.

You hear the disturbance of the water as your daughters move a bit to the side to give you more space to move.

With one final calming breath, you open your mouth and begin the song cord of your family.

---

Neteyam stands under the shade of a nearby tree on the shoreline. His arms are crossed as he watches the three of you.

The evening breeze carries your voice to him. He stands up straight when the sound hits his ears.

When you sing, it reminds him of the melody of birdsong in spring. No matter how many years may pass between you two, every time he hears you play the instrument of your heart, he feels like he could fall in love with you all over again.

He takes in your form as you start swaying in the water, admiring you from top to bottom.

Your hair, thick and long, reaching all the way down to your knees; you and your sisters spent what must have been hours, braiding it into the intricate patterns now adorning your head.

Even from this distance, he can still make out the faint markings of the tattoos framing your face. Though today you also have a thin line of white painting the centre of your face. You could have mud smeared all over and he would still find you to be the most beautiful woman; you have him convinced you are blessed by Eywa herself.

You arms move slow and with purpose through the air; attuned with the words as they fall from your lips.

Your soft lips.

How he wishes he could kiss you right now.

You dip down, submerging your arms into the water. In one fluid motion, you rise back up to your feet, the motion you perform with your hands and arms bring water up with you as you rose. Your arms are stretched out to your sides as you pirouette.

Neteyam’s heart skips a beat as he watches you, and it’s as if time itself slows, just so he can drink in the beauty of your very being.

With your back to eclipse, your front is cast in shadow.

The water falls around you in a shimmering curtain of rain. The last light of eclipse hits the smooth stones woven into the fabric on your chest; causing a cascade of colours to dance across your skin. And when the sun disappears, your tahni come to life like the brilliance of dawn.

It’s one of his most favourite parts of your body. Though you had the scattered stars as did all Na’vi, for reasons he attests only to being blessed by Eywa, you have thin bioluminescent swirls weaving itself around your arms, chest, and all down your legs. To him it’s like a faint galaxy glittering in the night.

He recalls fondly the memory of him knowing each and every star on your body intimately.

And in the fading light of the day do you shine before him. Resplendent as you are in the day, so too will you dazzle the world around you in the darkness of the approaching night.

His heart throbs something fierce when you open your eyes after dipping into the water once more. Even behind the curtain of water, or the netting of the fabric draped over your head, your eyes glow with a fierceness he knows all to well. It pierces his very soul, a warmth sweeping over him.

He drinks you in more as you bend your form this way and that. He wishes he knew the intricacies of your dance; understood what each fluid motion meant, the significance of each swish of your tail, or the ways you angle your hands and bend your fingers.

You close your eyes as you near the end of the cord song.

As you perform another twirl, you playfully swat the water with your thick tail, splashing your daughters.

Their uncontrollable gigging brings a smile to your face. You open your eyes as you continue to dance, giving them a loving look. They’re splashing each other with reckless abandon as they try to imitate your moves. You can’t help the unrestrained laughter their antics bring you.

Neteyam laughs quietly to himself as he watches his girls playfully flay about in the water. Every day since their birth he’s given thanks to both you and the Great Mother for blessing him with such miracles. He hadn’t thought it was possible to love something as much as he loved you.

He feels a stray tear fall down his cheek. But he doesn’t move to wipe it away. Instead he continues to smile as he watches your song and dance coming to its conclusion.

You turn to face the horizon, and his gaze drifts to his girls.

They’re singing something he can’t quite make out, but he loves the sound nonetheless.

And when their eyes meet his, finally noticing his presence, they wave at him wildly, giggling all over again.

His smile grows wider, and he offers them a small wave back.

---

One final pose, and you hold the final note of your song, eyes still closed. You hold that note until your lungs and throat burn.

You hear the excited cheers of your daughters as they shower you with praise. Your breathing is laboured as your heart pounds in your chest, but you offer them a bow and a small smile of gratitude.

You turn yourself to the horizon before you finally open your eyes. The ritual dance has come to and end.

You rub the cool ocean water on your cheeks, in your neck, and down your arms; all in an effort to cool you down from your laborious activity. You breath deep in from the nose, and slowly exhale through your mouth, calming your rapid heartbeat.

The girls still giggle beside you, resuming their unrefined dancing; now also singing their favourite lullaby in lieu of a songcord.

Sufficiently cooled off, you turn your head to your daughters to admire them in their silliness.

Your brow nits in slight confusion though, when you see them waving at something behind you, giggling all the while.

You turn around, curiosity in your eyes.

But the shoreline is just as empty as when you arrived.

---

Author's Notes: It was a private funeral dance 😢
