Alright. So. In an effort to lose my fear of showing art. I’m just gonna be posting monthly-ish art dumps. Finished or not. (A lot of them are gonna be unfinished and sketches😅)

Again, my motivation to finish things is down the drain😔TW FOR A BIT OF GORE AND WHITE ON BLACK DRAWING

I apologize for length I’ll probably put it under a cut next time 😅

Mermaid!AU Depth of Despair Masterlist

Plot: Vash is a former sailor who, despite the call of the ocean, is stranded on land. You are a mermaid, a member of a race in hiding who has become nothing more than folklore and fantasy. You were the one who saved Vash from certain death years ago and ever since that, you are being called closer and closer to the shore. Getting wrapped up with each other is asking for trouble and for your secrets to be dragged into the sunlight.

Pairing: Vash x GN!Reader

Series Rating: Teen and up

Series Tags [I'll update as I go]: no use of "y/n", dark fantasy, magic, legends, folklore, mermaids, merfolk, magic, necromancy, shape-shifting, myths, fluff, forbidden romance, hurt / comfort, angst, injuries, mermaid!reader, Vash dresses like a pirate

Author's Note: I've had thoughts of mermaids since May, but now I got some creepy dark fantasy ideas that simply demanded to be written down. It seems that it ends up being a mini-series and I hope yall enjoy it as much as I do. I have no idea how many chapters it will have, there are a few ideas swirling in my head and if some of you have ideas, I might even incorporate them.

I want to mix really bright and beautiful imagery, almost like Studio Ghibli movies, with a dark fantasy element, a bit of horror and creepiness. I am a sucker for folklore so dipping my toe into that again too. If you liked the God!AU Shepherd, then you might like this too.

A few sources of inspiration: Folklore; the different versions of The Little Mermaid story; Pirates of the Caribbean; Florence + The Machine - Mermaids; just Florence Welch's vibe in general; Skott - Mermaid; Skott - Wolf

Chapters:

Beached

Hidden Away

Shadows

Magic

Quiet Before the Storm

Wind Shear

Hurricane

Eye of the Storm

more coming soon...

Stampede

Clutches of Death

In the meantime, feel free to check out my MASTERLIST and drop a follow for any and all future projects!

A Very Rare Tiny Plant not Seen for 108 Years Found in Vermont

The last time a botanist recorded a sighting of false mermaid-weed in the state was in 1916.

Vermont state botanist Grace Glynn has been searching for false mermaid-weed for years, but the spring-blooming herb with dainty flowers has always eluded her—and everyone else. No one had documented false mermaid-weed in Vermont since 1916.

But that all changed last month, when Glynn opened a photo she’d been sent by a colleague. In the image snapped on May 7 by a state biologist surveying turtle habitat, she caught a glimpse of the elusive flower in the corner of the frame.

“I sort of did a double take and rubbed my eyes and couldn’t believe that I was seeing this plant,” Glynn tells WCAX.

When she visited the site in the state’s rural Addison County to investigate, she found hundreds of false mermaid-weed sprigs on both public and private land—the first confirmed sightings in Vermont in more than a century.

The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife called the discovery “BOTANICAL BREAKING NEWS,” in a Facebook post announcing the find.

It’s not surprising that false mermaid-weed (Floerkea proserpinacoides) had gone undetected for so long. Each individual plant is “absolutely tiny” with flowers that are “as small as the head of a pin,” per the department. Even when trained experts are out searching for the plant, it’s hard to spot and can be easily overlooked.

What’s more, it only emerges for a short window of time—typically from late April to early June. This is what botanists refer to as an “ephemeral” plant.

Botanists also suspect false mermaid-weed populations have suffered because of extreme flooding, invasive species and human development. Its rediscovery is “a sign that good stewardship by landowners and conservation organizations really can make a difference,” according to the Facebook post.

“It’s a glimmer of hope … in an otherwise grim world,” says Matt Charpentier, a field botanist in Massachusetts, to the New York Times’ Jenna Russell.

The last botanist to document false mermaid-weed in Vermont was a woman named Nellie Flynn, who collected 22,700 plants from around the world during her lifetime. So, amid all the excitement of finding a long-lost plant, Glynn also found herself reflecting on the past.

“It was just amazing to touch this plant and to think, ‘Oh, Nellie Flynn was probably the last person to ever touch this species in Vermont back in 1916,’” Glynn tells Vermont Public Radio’s Zoe McDonald. “And I always think about how there are just these threads through history that kind of tie you to other botanists, and it just adds depth and richness, I think, to an already rich story.”

In Vermont, the plant’s state rank has now been updated from possibly extinct and missing to very rare and critically imperiled. Glynn also plans to send some of the plant’s seeds to a seed bank in Massachusetts that preserves native New England species.

But even though false mermaid-weed has been rediscovered, the work of Vermont botanists is far from finished: They still have another 600 or so rare and uncommon native plants to search for and, ideally, conserve throughout the state.

This is not the first time an unusual plant has made an appearance in Vermont: In May 2022, a citizen scientist discovered nine specimens of a federally threatened orchid, known as the small whorled pogonia, in Chittenden County. It was the first time anyone had seen the plant since 1902, VTDigger’s Ella Ruehsen wrote at the time.

Mermaid au time

Lore down here

I don’t really have a story for it yet and dunno if I ever will. It’s just a silly little AU where I suddenly came up with most of the lore at 3am. And it’s mostly PLANT lore.

Sorry if it’s messy I tried making sens of my even messier notes.

PLANTS are some kind of deep sea seaweed that look like a mix of the petals and glowy markings from stampede and the feathers from trimax. So no humanoid bodies, just the leave things. They’re still a hivemind entity that’s all connected though. They need a very specific environment to live so scientists have had a hard time recreating the PLANTS environment to better study them.

PLANTS can use DNA from other species to create creatures close to the species but plant like to help them thrive. Like bringing them food, protecting them or help them spread seeds and stuff. Scientists know this ability but they (I) have no clue how it works. The PLANT recreated creatures have PLANT like markings and features. They thought PLANTS could only recreate aquatic species or more specifically some smaller ones but sharks and even a whale have been seen. Then somehow human DNA (probably blood) got into one of the tank they kept some PLANT in and Tessla happened. Mermaid aren’t their own species, just mermaid looking PLANT creatures. She’s close to Nai’s coloration. After she died because of the experimentation, the scientists tried to recreate human/PLANT hybrids but couldn’t force it. Some years later Rem who’s, one of the scientist, found Vash and Nai and hid them so they wouldn’t undergo what Tessla had.

In this AU Wolfwood, Meryl and Millie are university students. Meryl and Millie are journalists students while Wolfwood is probably marine biology. Wolfwood wasn’t experimented on but he still had a rough childhood.

The design are a mix of stampede and trimax so Wolfwood and Meryl are based of stampede and Millie, Vash, Nai and Rem are based of trimax.

The twin’s hair are based of trimax because after Rem died they where on their own in the ocean and they didn’t have anything to cut undercuts. Vash’s hair are down just cause I think it’s cute. They’re both trans and had longer hair like in 98 when they where younger.

No clue yet if Nai is evil or not but he’s definitely Vashwood enemy number one.

Rem is a marine biologist from Québec probably from Gaspé so she’s speaks both Québec French and English and taught both to the twins. So picture this:

*twins arguing in French*

Ww: *looking at them confused* This some kinda secret mermaid language?

Meryl: No. it’s just French…

If anything isn’t clear or y’all have any questions feel free to ask :)
