MER SUN REDESIGN!!

[derpiedoxie]

Finally made a mer Eclipse design!

He is big, he is mean, and he’s cocky as hell

I love him :)

hooked and caught 🎣

apparently there's a difference between sirens, selkies, and merrows in the HP lore and my ass did NOT research before drawing any of these so now i guess yonal is a half-selkie, half-siren in this AU 😭😭😭

my headcanon is that selkies in this world can still shapeshift like in the original mythology and sirens, well, they got those banger vocal chords. Yonal can turn into a human but at the cost of hurting himself whenever he tries to speak so he just doesn't </3 however he sings like an angel in his mer form

anyway im drawing snape after this ehe ive found a fish for him 🐟🐠

In the Mario x Mermaid AU the mer-folk are are salt water creatures, which means that they will get sick, even badly injured, if they come into contact with fresh water.

This is based on the real world concept of saltwater fish being unable to survive in freshwater, and vice versa.

So four things to note:

1. Even just a small drop of freshwater on a mer-person's skin will give them an irritated burning sensation, and their scales to become inflamed and swollen. Luckily, if the contact is not too long or severe, they just need to dip the affected area in salt water and it's all good 👍

2. When Mario becomes a human for the first time, he is not exactly a full human. Kammy is able to give him legs and take away his mer-magic, but she deliberately left some of his mer traits within him. This means that, to his horror, he finds he cannot come into any contact with fresh water, or risk giving away his secret! Luckily Luigi is on hand to assist at certain points.

3. One idea for a scene I'm cooking up is that Mario gets interrogated by the kitchen staff, asking where he's from and who he is. One of the staff gets way too close with some water, and Mario is overwhelmed and tries to get them to leave him alone. Luigi sees this from his hiding place outside, and quickly uses his mer-magic (electricity) to short circuit the palace from the outside and cause a black out. Mario takes this opportunity to run away, where he runs outside to thank his bro and figure out a plan!

4. Mario does find that he can work around this fresh water business by adding salt to it anytime he needs to bathe or drink.

(I'm pretty sure that's not how it works but hey - it is a fantasy - and it's not unlikely that Mario will still feel a bit sick, due to it not being proper salt water - but it's a temporary solution!)

alluring 🥀✨

Steve had been warned not to swim at night.

But, it can’t be helped. The heat of the day seeps into the evening and leaves Steve sticky with sweat in his bed, tossing and turning and hoping that sleep would come, but it couldn’t. Wouldn’t.

So, he slips out of his window and goes to the shore.

It’s the middle of the night but the moon is bright and full and round above him, reflecting off of the waves as he walks down the shore alone. It’s peaceful, but he’s still hot, so he heads to the small lagoon he goes to whenever he needs to cool off during the day.

Surely, it should be the same at night.

When he arrives, it’s quiet, and the water glows green and blue from algae. It’s gorgeous, he has to admit, and he quickly undresses as he eyes the still water.

He enters slowly, sighing in relief as the cool water soothes his hot skin, promising comfort and relief the deeper he goes, until the water laps at his chest.

Taking a deep breath and holding it, Steve dunks himself underwater.

When he surfaces, he isn’t alone.

He yelps, like a startled animal, and stares wide-eyed at the other in front of him.

A man, like him, with long blond hair that’s wet from the water. It spills down his shoulders and spreads in the water like golden ink, his face young and handsome, although the longer Steve looks, the more he realizes that the other isn’t human.

Those eyes tell him otherwise. Shimmering like the glowing algae, framed by long lashes, Steve sees the bottom of the ocean in that pupil-less stare.

“Um,” he mutters, struck with fear because he knows about mermaids, knows that they should be avoided, but a sense of calm washes over him the longer he looks. He starts to think that being dragged to the bottom of the ocean wouldn’t be so bad if this creature were the one to do it.

Full lips spread into a small, curious smile and the Mer tilts his head, eyeing Steve with interest, but he says nothing. He doesn’t move, either.

But, he does start to hum, low and soft. It’s alluring and Steve finds himself wading closer, lips parting in awe as his eyes flit across the man’s face. The closer he gets, the clearer he sees the pearlescent scales on the Mer’s skin, the necklaces made of pearls and shells and sea glass, a fishhook pierced through the lobe of a pointed ear.

And the creature speaks like a song, soft and soothing to Steve’s ear as he threatens, “Come any closer and I’ll drag you to the depths.”

Steve stops, just inches away, and the Mer smirks. He lifts a webbed hand from the water and trails his fingertips across Steve’s cheek, touching gently, like this is his first time seeing another creature, too.

Steve lifts his own hand to touch the Mer but the creature is quick to swim away with a slap of his tail at the surface, splashing Steve with saltwater, even laughing in glee as it stings his eyes.

“Jerk,” Steve huffs, wiping his eyes with both hands, and when he lowers them the creature is gone.

Fear strikes him for a moment, thinking that the Mer has gone underwater to take him, but minutes pass and nothing happens. The lagoon is still and peaceful, the sound of waves distant and soothing.

Steve can’t deny the disappointment he feels as he finally leaves the water. Not that he was wishing for a watery death, but this is the closest he’s ever been to something so magical and he wishes it hadn’t ended so soon. Does the creature have a name? Where did he come from? Is this lagoon his home? Does he go here every night?

After redressing and exhausting his mind with unanswered questions, Steve glances at the water again and spots the creature there, wading in the shallow depths with an interested expression on his face. He gives Steve a smile before slipping underwater again, out of sight, leaving Steve with an ache to know.

I’ll come back tomorrow, he decides, searching the water before looking up at the glowing moon, I promise.
