#oops all mers au

[emry-stars-art]

“Now do mers kiss or is this a little surprise nuzzle” i like to think they do both but the idea of them surprising each other with little nuzzles is so dear to me

I think jellyneil does eventually learn how to control its sting but. Andrew you startled him 🥲

[jtl-fics]

Got my new knife set from @emry-stars-art (or is this jelly swimming closer to me)

[astridsbirdskulls]

@emry-stars-art told me to make a tumblr /hj so here I am with some (unfinished) leafy sea dragon Allison for their all mer au

[spacexseven]

tuna I am. thinking about eelzai. for it is mermay and thus His Time.

imagine. you go out on the water. very cold night, very shitty boat. your engine stalls (definitely didn't get viciously tail-thwacked by a certain eel until it broke that's definitely not what happened) and you get stuck out there, and there's no one else out who will hear you call for a tow, so you're in for the night.

because hes just OH so nice amd has ZERO ulterior motives, dazai hauls his huge ass into your boat (with just how fucking long he is you're surprised he didn't sink it) and offers to let you huddle up with him for warmth! well less offers and more like immediately starts coiling around you before you can respond but you get it. while he's a naturally cold blooded creature, his human half runs pretty hot- perhaps in order to regulate his species' body temp in various underwater environments. it's hard to deny that the heat he radiates its very nice... even if he's soaking wet and his grip is too tight and he keeps licking you with he thinks you won't notice.

I have been Thinking about this for like 3 hours. need him so bad.

- 🩹

omg i really wanted to get to this before may ends and!! i made it cheers

if you're new to mer au check out some of the other stuff so you know what to expect from eelzai! yandere character.

the reason why you're out in the cold, guided only by your tiny lamp and the moonlight is because of dazai, since he won't leave you alone in the morning. trying to traverse the waters in daytime is terribly inefficient because a giant sea creature grabs onto the side of your boat and threatens to topple you over if you don't play (and with a perfectly unassuming smile on his face too, the devil).

you beloved boat has served you for a long time now, a simple but trusty thing that has travelled many hours with you and survived many attempts at dazai's...playtime. but there's only so much tail smacking and claw digging it can take before it gives in on itself, and it just so happens that tonight's when it finally surrenders to dazai's attacks. it only takes a little shove from dazai for the engine to splutter and come to a complete stop, refusing to budge no matter how many times you kick it or plead it to start up again.

and who else shows up but dazai himself? he doesn't even have the shame to pretend to feel guilty about stranding you in the middle of nowhere with your lamp flickering out thanks to his shove, and your phone unable to call for help, and instead he looks up at you like he just so happened to come across you, like he had absolutely nothing to do with your current predicament. he straightens himself out until he's face to face with you, and then looks at your boat with a surprised expression.

"that looks bad," he says, and the surprise morphs into something more wicked, "poor you. can a little human really survive out here on their own?"

"i have a lighter," you lie, "and i will singe your eyebrows off."

he pouts and drags himself down under the dark waters before popping up again on the other side, splashing more cold water onto you, "you must be cold," he croons, clearly relishing in your troubles, "a little flame won't help."

you can't even deny it because you're shivering, even under all your layers. but you won't let him win, can't let him hold yet another victory over your head and grin at you with his too-sharp teeth and his piercing eyes, calling you a weak human once again.

but you've come prepared, and you pull out a thick blanket to wrap over yourself while you consider your options to make it out of the water, either by rowing or finding a way to start up the engine again. except, as you unfurl the wonderful piece of cloth, dazai glares at it and dives head-first, frighteningly fast, making sure to flick his tail in your direction to drench your newfound ray of hope with freezing water. you stare at it, your mind numb and your heart shattered.

"oops," he giggles from behind you, "i didn't mean to do that."

sighing, you resign yourself to your fate. if you rowed hard enough, you could forget about the cold chilling your limbs, right? and you'd have to reach shore eventually, even if it takes...a few hours. you didn't go out that far anyway. but as you rummage in your boat for your oar—the one you went out of your way to get just in case you had to smack dazai in the face whenever he got a little too handsy and eager—you feel the boat tilt backwards, and you turn to face dazai grinning at you with his hands grabbing onto the rear of the boat.

"don't worry about the cold," he, in a motion so fluid you barely see it happening, hauls himself onto the boat, causing you to stumble over and creating a perfect opportunity for dazai to lean over and grab you, ignoring your screeching as he brings you over to him, "i can keep you warm!"

and, oh—you hate it. you hate the unfamiliar sensation of a tail wrapping itself around your legs, you hate his long arms holding your upper body still and his head on your shoulder, looking up at you with faux innocence. you hate the fact that though he's dripping wet and he should be freezing cold, he's surprisingly warm, and somewhat comfortable to be contained within. you hate the way he's careful, too, because you'd have never expected him to be so delicate with the way his claws press over your skin. of course, his caution doesn't extend to stopping himself from placing a few wet kisses here and there, or playfully nipping at the skin of your neck, but it's more than you'd hoped from the same dazai that regularly threatened to eat you.

you're practically immobilized, too, gently rocking with the waves as dazai hums delightedly, but the sight of the stars against the dark sky is gorgeous and the slow movement of the water is reassuring, even with an unfamiliar weight around your body and a predator over you. your oar is long abandoned, and your engine peacefully resting, but you can't find it in yourself to be panicked when dazai's warmth is so comforting against the chill in the air and his stroking slowly lulls you to a much needed rest.

just a few moments, you tell yourself. but when you wake up, the sun has risen and dazai is long gone, but your boat is close to shore, and you know exactly who pushed you all the way here.

maybe night trips weren't that bad.

I am so ridden with washed up burnt-ed out artist baggage I fergot I colored this one, oops.

I’m trying to get the hekke over it I promise.

It’s Splash / H20 rules for my merman Inuyasha. I can’t decide if that’s all merfolk, or just because Inu is half mer, either way, gotta love it. Dry off, levies, get splashed, get scales. My Inuyasha mermaid AU fic is called Crimson Pearl, which I hope I one day have the nards to put into the world.

I guess I missed Inuyasha fluff week, a sincere tragedy. Better luck paying attention and feeding my art beast next year.

[helpimhyperfixating]

Did you talk about the winter warmth one already? Curious on that one too 👀

I did not yet! Though it’s probably not what you were gonna expect

So, this one is an old one so please excuse any bad writing. I am planning on editing it a lot once I finally continue writing it.

So! For context: this is a Bat! Jotaro au. Why a bat? Because I was talking with a friend and they sent an adorable picture of a bat so I went “what if bat, but Jotaro :0” And then I proceeded to make an entire crytpid creature from it called a ‘Chiroptera’ that I unironically love. HA

For this particular fic he can shapeshift into a little bat like a vampire, but that’s not how the universe/cryptid usually works. Just like my Mer au, I like my realism. So please excuse that, I may just write that out still, it depends. But yes, this has been my baby for a while and though the descriptions are a little wonky, I’m working on it. Bear in mind I wrote this like a year and a half ago probably, oops.

Oh yeah, it’s also yandere, so CW, bear that in mind. Mainly just stalking though

It was deep into the night. Hanging from a tree nearby, two vibrantly coloured eyes - almost glowing in the dark - stared dead at a window.

Inside, sitting slumped over at a desk, were you.

You’d fallen asleep half an hour ago, giving the creature outside a perfect view of you.

For months, Jotaro had hung outside your window like this, toes firmly planted around the branch, black wings wrapped around his body for camouflage and comfort as he simply observed you.

You lived on the edge of town, your house right by the forest. It was what allowed Jotaro to have watched you for so long and go on undetected.

The wind howled by, rustling the fluffy fur on his back and making a shiver briefly pass through him. He wasn’t made for being out in the open in this winter weather.

Almost as if to prove a point, snowflakes started descending from the sky, adding to the already present layer of snow on the ground.

It wasn’t storming by any means, but the curtain of white was somewhat blocking the creature’s vision.

You hadn’t been laying like that for too long but the Chiroptera knew that sleeping like that was not good for you either way.

The snow, the cold, and his underlying thoughts brought Jotaro to move.

Unfurling his wings, he stretched his arms out wide, feeling the leathery material connected to it stretch as he flexed his fingers.

Similar to a bat, his arms were his wings, though Jotaro’s arms appeared more human-like in shape than the actual animal’s did. When having his wings folded up, his arms and hands functioned the same as a human’s, simply having his wings folded by his body as much as he could - a clawed, seemingly four fingered hand at the culmination of it all.

Hanging upside down from his feet - toes curled around the large branch - Jotaro had no choice but to just drop himself.

Stretching his wings out, the leathery appendages extended as his fifth finger shot out sideways, almost doubling the size of his wing span.

Without much fanfare, Jotaro released the branch, dropping himself as he quickly flapped his wings, lifting his body in the air and turning around the tree he had just been hanging from; flying the small distance through the snow to your balcony window.

Landing on the stone almost soundlessly, the Chiroptera sat ducked for a few seconds before slowly standing up, seeing you still motionless at your desk.

It was rare for the bat to see you from this close and he raked his eyes over your form, appreciating you for a bit.

When those seconds were up, he reached his claw up to the handle of your window. Trying to open it proved no problem as he turned it and pulled the mechanism towards himself, the window opening without problem.

Wanting to keep the cold out, the bat-creature immediately climbed from your window into your room, shutting the thing behind himself and banishing the snow and cold.

Instantly, Jotaro felt like melting in relief, feeling the warmth of your house wash away the cold that clung to his fur. The scent of your room clearing his airways from the sting of the cold outside air.

Letting one last shiver rack through his body, Jotaro relaxed, shaking the snow off himself before slowly starting to step his monstrous feet over your carpeted floor; the pads of his feet splayed out, his toes spreading flat and wide. It felt amazing after the more rough bark from the branch he had been hanging on, but there was no time for that now.

Stepping forward, he cautiously approached your form, staying close to the ground for a bit as he moved closer.

Once he was close enough, he stood up fully behind you. Looming over your back and looking down.

Your head was dropped down on your desk, so innocently and calmly sleeping away, as if a monster wasn’t standing directly behind you.

A high pitched chirr left his throat as he crooned at how cute you looked.

So soft, so vulnerable. Any creature could come inside here like he did. You really were too naïve of what lurked out in the forest.

Bringing his left arm up, he gently placed his hand on the back of your chair, the neon colour of it contrasting wildly with the completely black appendage.

Reaching his right up, the Chiroptera gently moved your hair aside and away from the back of your neck, careful to not scratch your delicate skin with his sharp claws. Once it was exposed to him, he leaned down and nipped at the flesh, leaving his mark on you.

You stirred a little at the slight pain his bite brought, but were too deep in sleep to really register it.

Taking note of your reaction - or rather your lack of - Jotaro stepped around your chair so that your face was facing him.

With careful moves, the bat leaned down and slinked his arms under your body, leaning you into his naked chest before lifting you up slowly, making sure to not stir you.

A small noise left your sleeping form, making the Chiroptera freeze, but your hand merely grabbed hold of the fuzz that marred his side before you settled down again.

Calmed by that, he walked you over to your bed and lowered you down, feeling his folded up wings graze past your blankets as he did.

Once he was sure you were secure, Jotaro pulled his arms away from you, careful to not trap his wing under your body.

The hand that had been in the short fur on his side fell limply next to you as you melted into your bed.

Grasping the corner of the blanket, the bat tried to put it over your body as best as possible. After tucking you in to his satisfaction, he let his hand linger, allowing it to roam the material, his four clawed fingers pushing down a bit to take in how it felt.

He had never really felt any of this with his own hands, only ever having watched it from afar.

Debating for a second, the Chiroptera looked back at your window, seeing the snow had picked up so much so that it wouldn’t surprise him if it became a storm later.

Looking down on himself, he sighed softly, the fur he had only ran across his legs, back, sides and the top of his shoulders. His entire chest, face and arms were unprotected from the cold and if he had to fly out into the snow to find a cave or hollow tree to rest in, he would surely have a bad time if not freeze to death before he could.

Sure, he could go into his bat form to combat the cold, but the winds were too strong for him to fly in at that size.

Not taking too long to decide, the man turned back to you, the ears on top of his head twitching back and forth for a second before he carefully climbed onto your bed.

Wary to not touch you, he placed one foot on the edge, reaching over your body and putting his weight on his arm as he put his other foot on the edge of the bed, his toes securely curling around the frame like it did the branch outside as he now carefully stepped over your body.

Completely getting on your bed, smushed between your body and the wall, Jotaro lowered himself down.

He had been waiting so long to be this close to you.

Bringing his knees up to his chest, he curled up into a little ball, spreading his right wing out over himself as a blanket as he placed his chin on your stomach gently, sighing a deep yet content sigh as he allowed his muscles to relax completely.

He hadn’t been this warm and comfortable since he was a pup, sleeping under his mother’s wing.

Twitching his foot a little as he settled completely, he pushed a little more into your side before closing his eyes, your blankets firmly in his left fist as he fell into a rest in the wee hours of the morning.

WiJ 2023 - 01: Introduce Yourself

WiJ 2023 Navigation Post

(I'll put my favourite tropes under the cut because this post is getting a bit long, oops lol)

Re-Introduction

I've been in the Tumblr whump community for a couple of years now, but hello and welcome to everyone both old and new to my blog! I'm emc, and I'm an Australian writer and artist specialising in the bloodthirsty subject matter we all love here on whumpblr! I mostly reblog at this stage, but I love to participate in community events, and have plenty in the works :)

I create original whump works. I'm only in one fandom, Danny Phantom, so I will occasionally reblog stuff from there.

Project Updates!

I'm completely, totally obsessed by one singular whumpee... so everything I work on centers around him... lol

Anyways, so, it turns out that SP multiplied...

Shifting Phases - This is gonna be a loooooong fic lol, but! I'm making good progress, and I've managed to stay inspired and motivated for +6 years, so you can count on it getting finished, no matter how long it takes :)

10 of 59 chapters are drafted, one of which is pending review,

8 of the remaining 50 chapters are in progress,

The word-count as of writing this post is 23.5k.

I'm sure a few of you have followed for this fic/pieces of the boi, and I think about that constantly especially since it's still a major wip lol ^-^' Not worry, I will not rush uwu

I'll link the masterpost of it though because I keep it updated with my progress, and also any good snippets I write :)

Full Moon Waning - Because I'm horrible and have so many thoughts all the time, I've actually started planning this; the sequel to Shifting Phases! I think I have some cool whump ideas, and it provides another chance to explore the worldbuilding and character backstories, so I think it has a lot to offer and will be fun to write :)

Plotting; jotting down vague ideas and arranging them in a semi-coherent order.

Eclipse Descending (AU) - Oh this one is incredibly fun and fucked up, and somehow manages to be SO much darker in which Pete falls down a terrible path and becomes a hunter. It goes about as well as you'd expect lol. I explained the premise to a friend and she wondered, since it was so compelling, why it wasn't canon, and man, that's a fun thing to hear. It also means it's gonna be an absolute behemoth...

Plotting and detailing scenes simultaneously.

Caesar Salad (AU) - Remember how I said I wanted to stab my whumpee during the Ides of March? Guess which concept got WAY out of hand XD It will be a much shorter fic, but it's still a major project. It's an alternate secret reveal, so, it's an AU.

Detailing the scenes while trying desperately to come up with a resolution ^-^'

Anything Else? - Yep! I have a few other little scene/whump ideas that I'll eventually write out, but for now, I just keep them stored in a little au/idea doc. I'm still also working slowly on my BTHB card, and also the gift and several treats for the exchange I mentioned earlier, but I shan't be spoiling those :)

Favourite Tropes

Those of you who've been around me/know me will find that I am indeed very consistent XD Some of my favourite tropes include:

Bad caretaker/s

Collapse

Compromised mobility

Dehumanisation and animalisation

Domestic abuse

Emotional whump

Environmental whump

Hyper/hypothermia

Long-term injuries and scars

Near-death of the whumpee

Nightmares/Night terrors

Nonhuman whumpees (usually vampires, demons... and especially mer)

Panic attacks

PTSD

Restraints, especially creative ones

Secret angst-- whumpee having to keep their species/identity secret for their personal safety, and because they fear they'll be rejected by the ones they love most

Severe sickness

Species-specific whump

Starvation

Transformation whump

... and so many more...! Also, caretakers and whumpers are not necessary for me to enjoy the whump ^-^

BH6 Snippets - 2/27/2024

More work on The Glowing Tide today--apparently mer AU decided to be obliging.

“So he’s feeling better,” Tadashi observed. “Yeah, you can tell because he’s being all grumpy.  Don’t ‘fwuff’ me I’m RIGHT,” he shot at Obake, who rolled his eyes and grumbled younglings under his breath. “Hey, chill,” Tadashi said, ruffling Hiro’s hair.  “There’s guys working a few bays over, we don’t want them coming over and investigating.” Right—that way led to harpooning.  Moment of silence before digging in— Dry-land food make teeth itch, Obake reminded him. Shut up, Hiro blinked back. “How did seaweed get in here?” Tadashi asked, taking note of some of the seaweed clumps Hiro hadn’t gotten to yet. Oop.  “You can also tell he’s feeling better because he’s getting antsy,” Hiro said, deciding to pin the blame on Obake—which, yeah, it was sort of his fault but he definitely wanted to gloss over the teeth.  “We went swimming last night.  Also, you really need to oil the lever, big bro.” The sharp glance Tadashi gave him wasn’t lost on him—could almost read the thought process of what if they leave and never come back I can’t lose him again—shuffled closer to assure him that yes, he was still here and obviously they had come back. “I’ll put it on my to-do list,” Tadashi said, recovering.  Pinched a shrimp between chopsticks.  “In other news, been testing the waters with Aunt Cass, if you’ll pardon the reference—” “I will not you’ve been holding that in for a while now haven’t you?” “Oh I have a whole stack of fishy puns built up,” Tadashi said, grinning.

Merrans have bioluminescence and apparently Tadashi has been working on a list of puns to tease his brother with.

[sturthepotofmadness]

This should’ve been posted a few days ago, so uh… oops.

No read more because I don’t want Tumblr to eat up my images.

LONG POST AHEAD.

Anyways, here’s my favorite drawings I did for Inktober 2022!

Reasonings:

10: Look at the crab!!!! Also an attempt at Mer!Formers, but I mostly like this because of the crab.

15: I just like this drawing of Wallop. :) Also yes I am aware Wallop’s eyes are blue, I just drew them as yellow.

17: The only picture of my BotBots OC Finalist I actually like. (Psss the text says “See?”)

22: This pic is actually connected to one of the AUs I did for AU-gust, which the link for can be found on my side blog linked in the pinned post on my profile. I really like how I drew Whirl and Hot Shot here, but yeah, nothing much else to it.

27: Suddenly X-Men. I like how I drew Sauron in this image, along with the mouse. Dunno why, just kinda do.

28: (ProwlOP, ProwlOP, ProwlOP—) I really like how I drew all of the TFA crew in this image, along with just the general vibe of the image, if that makes any sense. (Look, I really like ProwlOP and the other ProwlOP drawing sucks, ok?)

You might notice these next seven are separated from the other six, and that’s because they’re connected!

Unlike when I was posting these separately, I put these in order, but… if for whatever reason Tumblr messes up the order, the order is as follows: 5, 13, 8, 20, 25 (psss text here says “You can… bring me back to brother?”), 18, 29.

Want a rough outline of how this went? Well, I call it Jetfire Suffers and it’s what it is on the tin. The divergence point is when the Jettwins discover their fire/wind abilities, but Jetstorm never gets his wind. That’s image one, the event. Also, the fire that spread killed Preceptor (who I always call Perpetrator so that’s fun) before it was tamed. Image two is the aftermath of said event. Jazz is a good friend/caretaker. Between two and three, Jazz helps Jetfire get to Earth. For what reason, who knows, I’m not too sure beyond angry science division minus Wheeljack. Image three is on Earth when Jetfire has to use his fire for lighting some sort of cave, but using his fire always reminds him of his dead brother. Image four… the prompt was “bluff” and its a Decepticon. She attempted to tempt Jetfire into joining them, but in the end failed because they couldn’t actually bring Jetstorm back. Image five, hey look it’s Jetstorm and an implied Unicron! For the record, I would image in this AU, Unicron is more of a chaotic neutral than the incarnation of evil and destruction. He just wants to cause chaos and do fun stuff. Anyways, Unicron takes notice of Jetstorm and they talk, leading to that question in the image. Image six, Jetfire is for whatever reason back on Cybertron and Jetstorm has been “revived”. I say revived, I more mean like he’s a zombie that can control himself. This is when they encounter each other, Jetstorm wandering around and Jetfire, for whatever reason, being in the area. Image seven, hey looks it’s a very disformed Preceptor! Unicron took one look at Preceptor hurting the precious child named Jetstorm, went “you do not get to rest peacefully” and made him into this monstrous.

Nothing else after that so… fun. :)

And that’s everything I wanted to share on Tumblr from Inktober!

[kayla-crazy-stuffs]

Gosh dang it I couldn't think of the name of the au until I sent the ask, but how would the first date for Karlnapity go in surfer dream

Oop, don't worry about it

Well, first of all, Karl would totally show his surfing skills to his fiancés. Then they would play tag in their own way, that it would be Karl surfing trying to get away from them, while they try to nom him; who noms him first win

When they have to leave, Karl would give them a small kiss on their cheeks, causing the two to be totally blushed

Karl would totally laugh, after that both of the mers would give him a kiss, covering his face completely with their lips

This time Karl is the one who's totally blushed

[softpadawan]

Do any other humans in the mer!AU know about Ezra or is he Kanan's little secret?

The only other people who know about Ezra are the three old men who live in (and keep) the lighthouse across the cove. They are Rex, a fishing boat captain; Wolffe, a professional diver and retired MMA instructor; and Gregor, a former EMT. All of them are brothers and combat veterans, and here’s the story of how a little merboy came to be a part of their family:

In August 1985, a Category 4 hurricane struck New England. Rex, Wolffe and Gregor hunkered down in the lighthouse and waited out the storm. In the early morning, they went out to survey the damage. Rex was climbing over the rocks to retrieve some debris when a soft whimpering reached his ears. Following the sound, Rex came to a shallow tide pool carved into the rocks over the millennia. In it sat a small naked boy, maybe 3-5 years old.

Immediately Rex yelled for the others, then ripped off his sweater and crouched at the pool’s edge. When he lifted the child out of the water, however, he almost lost his grip in shock. Instead of legs, the child had a fish tail.

It defied all scientific explanation. But Rex had lived and made his living on the sea for all but a few years of his life, and had witnessed things that no one else would ever believe. The ocean was dark and full of mysteries. In the grand scheme of things, a merbaby wasn’t really all that farfetched. So he wrapped the child in his sweater and carried him to the lighthouse.

Around the kitchen table, Rex, Wolffe and Gregor made a pact that they would never tell anyone else about the child, and would raise it until it was big enough to return to wherever it had come from.

They named the child Esmeralda, after the hurricane. It wasn’t until later that they discovered the child was a boy. (Oops. But to be fair, anyone could have made that mistake. The gender-neutral tail and long hair made it kind of confusing.) They shortened the name to Ezra, and that was what he went by forever after.

The little merboy soon found his way into the hearts of all three grizzled, traumatized war veterans and became their greatest joy. They loved little Ezra dearly and did everything they could to make sure he was raised in a comfortable, loving environment where all of his special needs were met. He seemed to know words, but they weren’t English or any other kind of identifiable language. Rex took notes and made recordings of Ezra talking in his native tongue in order to preserve his language, lest he forget. It might be the only way he could ever reconnect with his own people—if they were out there. 

Ezra picked up on English quickly, learning to read and write. He picked up human habits even quicker, including an addiction to fast food, television and radio. He especially loved the latter, and was constantly singing along to oldies. His ability to mimic any singer was impressive.

“He really is a siren!” Gregor often joked.

Ezra started out living in a large aquarium tank inside the lighthouse, but it wasn’t long before he began to outgrow it. Something needed to be done. With Wolffe’s diving skills and Gregor’s ordnance expertise, they blasted a hole in the lowest level of the lighthouse—an old cellar carved into the cliff itself—and let the ocean in. Wolffe installed an underwater metal gate to allow the sea in but keep predators out. Here's a rough idea of what it looks like:

Rex, Wolffe and Gregor really have no idea how old Ezra is, but they guess he was between four and five years old when the hurricane delivered him to their island. They celebrate the anniversary of Hurricane Esmeralda every year in August, and throw Ezra a birthday party complete with cake, presents, and balloons. Gregor is handy with a camera and takes lots of family photos, which he develops at home so they don’t have to send them out to a commercial developer and risk exposing their secret. The albums are kept in a safe place, and they’re full of photos of a happy little merboy living a full life with his three human “uncles”.

When Ezra turned 13 in August 1993, the brothers agreed it was time to allow him to begin to venture out on his own. The gate to his underwater “bedroom” was opened to the sea, and he was given permission to roam—under three non-negotiable conditions:

1. In by dusk every evening

2. Stay only in the Safe Zones (away from the harbor, beaches and fishing lanes, and no farther out than the continental shelf)

3. Absolutely no contact with humans or anything made by humans

Now you’re caught up on the past. Let’s dive in to the present (well, 1995).

Ezra, now going on 15, loves his “uncles”, but he’s lonely. He has no friends his age, no one to play with. No one to talk to about his hopes and dreams and deepest secrets. He keeps a journal, though he doesn’t know why. It’s something human teenagers do, isn’t it? Gregor, who sometimes works as a substitute teacher over at the high school, has made sure that Ezra has an education, and often brings home stories about his students. He means to make Ezra feel included, but it only makes the merboy sadder.

Ezra’s only window to the world is the television and the radio. He watches Saved By the Bell and Nickelodeon and MTV, loves McDonald’s and Pizza Hut, and listens to music with almost religious devotion. He’s glued to the stereo pretty much every moment he’s out of the water, and when he’s in the water, he’s humming or singing the latest from the top 40. 

But a merboy can’t survive on Duran Duran and Happy Meals alone. Ezra is living in a world he’s forbidden to be a part of. His own world is lost to him. He thinks he remembers having parents, but the memories are blurry. Even his own language is alien to him. There are things he wants that he can’t put into words, feelings he doesn’t know how to express—the same as any adolescent. It makes for some tense interactions and even a few arguments between him and his uncles. Mostly Rex and Wolffe, who are the strictest (and the ones who worry most about him).

And so, like every other hormone-addled American teenager, Ezra begins to defy his guardians and break the three golden rules, lying to cover up his secrets. He follows Rex to work one morning and hides under the dock, watching from the shadows excitedly as the crew loads up. One man in particular catches his eye, the youngest of the fishermen. He’s tall and strong and has a ponytail and a goatee and a pierced ear—so cool!—and he’s really, really good looking. Even though he looks kind of tired, and there’s a droop to his shoulders, like he’s been defeated in battle or something. Ezra is instantly fascinated, and resolves to find out who this mysterious man is…

YOU DID FANTASTIC AT CONTINUING IT!! THAT WAS AMAING!!! WHAT!? You are absolutely amazing! And I loved the reacting to Yamakane!! AND WITH KOU JUST BEING LIKE, oop he's gay is so funnnny!

YES I WAS SO MANY IDEAS LOL

So I feel obligated to tell you another one of my AU ideas. Totally not me trying to sneak in another idea when I already said I would stop for the day

This AU is based off of a fanficion I was recommend by a friend but changed a lot of things to where they were VERY specific. VERY VERY specific so I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense!

I was thinking about making this a fanfic series but ended up not doing it because I can't commit to it lol

This will be a long ask sorry: This also takes place in a little older days but not to old and not proofread

Teru turned to look at Akane as the orange headed man sighed.

"Look- Captain mer-killer, I get it... You hate mermaids because they killed your little brother and mom. But I think- No. I know you fail to realize that we," The prince gestured around with his hand signifying that he was speaking for all the mermaids, "Tried to help them."

Teru shook his head, "No! You drowned them!"

"Ah-ah!" Akane pointed at the childish Yugi twin who seemed to be asking Nene embarrassing things, then to the captain's little brother who was playing tag with Mitsuba and Hanako (It was unfair for the fact that Kou didn't have legs and was just dragging himself around.) "They were destined to die."

"Huh...?" The tall blonde lowered his sword and blinked in confusion.

Akane smiled, "Mhm! They were meant to die. So we tried to turn them to mermaids to protect them, but it happens that your mom," His arms dropped to his side, "Couldn't survive the process of turning..."

"Y-you bastard!" 

.

So Akane is a mermaid. A mermaid prince to be exact. The prince of the sea! THE PRINCE OF ALL... I'll stop now. Because he is of royal blood he has the ability to turn into a human too. Hence how he met Aoi-chan when he was younger. When he was a little boy he swam away from his kingdom because what ever the reason is. He made his way to the surface and lived his life on land, befriending Aoi-chan and growing up with her. Till the sixth grade came around where they were hanging out at the beach. Aoi-chan was telling him stories she heard about mermaids, how beautiful they were, and how.. etc. It was nice. Until Aoi-chan seen some small waves coming in and dragged Akane to go with her in the water. But he can't touch salt water without turning so he and her had a little argument. Then a big wave came in really quick! She ran in the opposite direction and as she turned back to look at Akane she say hands in the water wave, grab onto akane and pull him into it. She's horrified as she sees a mermaid swims away with Akane in tow. Drowning him to death. That mermaid was nothing like it was said to be in her stories. Yes it was beautiful but it had something about it so sinister... That thing killed her best friend!

Teru is part of a family that kills mermaids for their scales and to protect humans (Because mermaids lure in humans to drown in the sea/ocean). His hate for mermaids for the point when they (the mermaids) killed both his mom and little brother. They drown them and ate their flesh (Of course he hadn't seen happen but he knows it). So he was sent out on a mission by his father to go and find the mermaid that murdered them now that he is of age. His crew consist of Yugi Amane (Who hates mermaids because his brother was killed by them), Aoi-chan (Who hates mermaids because they killed her bestfriend), and Mitsuba who was never meant to be on this mission but got carried into it.

Mermaids did not kill Kou or Tsukasa, they actually saved them. They both had a sickness that would kill them at the age of 11 or so. The mermaids did 'catch' them and use magic to turn them into mermaids. But they could only turn them on the day they turn 11. So Amane lost his twin on his birthday and Teru lost his brother on Kou's b-day. By the way Teru and Yugi Amane thought that this would be both of their last birthday. Teru thought that Kou would never turn 12 so he wanted to make this the best birthday ever but instead his little brother ended up being 'killed' (same goes for Amane). His mom was too weak to survive the turning as said above.

That's a little background knowledge.

That's all I thought so far.. I don't know how this was suppose to turn Terukane or what not but hey lol

ANON YOU'RE SO ANGSTYYYYYYY

THIS IS AMAZING!! I love the idea going for it! also our crew going to kill some mermaids? DISASTEROUS!!! it's AMAZING, and the potential for reference to the actual manga?? top tier!! they could all have the same outlines of their relationship from canon but in the au! with twists but not being too off base????and the AoiKane fight was a fun idea!

Teru seems more vengeance prone and Akane seems more justice and savior type in this au?? which is interesting, and the characters in this au seemed to have a role swap but keeping their main character attributes? which is really fun and hard to pull off!!

and Amane and Teru on the same team with the same motives? hell yeah! that's an awesome input!!

so I AM wondering why Kou couldn't come see his brother, but it'd make sense if only royal blood can turn human and that'd be a hard confrontation, especially knowing Minamoto's don't confront each other....

but I can see why this wasn't fully fleshed out to be a fanfiction because it'd take slow burning and a lot of world building, but it would come out awesome!! definitely a fanfic I'd read, but it would take a long time.

so Kou at the age of 11 had to start and reajust to a completely new life, new people, new city, new hobbies, new house, everything! and it was probably really hard.... so in this au did Tsukasa and Kou stick together and become better friends? despite how much canon Kou hates Tsukasa? because that'd be a crazy swap comparison!

anyways murderous badass Aoi🤝🤝🤝
