Happy Mermay everybody~
Following tradition(?), here’s a new piece of my mermaid OC Yao, finished just under the wire!! And poor Rei is getting bitten all to hell. I just keep making him suffer don’t I??? I’ll have to draw a fluffy piece for these two next time ^^;;;
Anyhoo, I mentioned last year that I wanted to draw Yao in a more ‘ugly’ state per the usual youkai transformation fare - which brings me nicely to one of my little headcanons...
Regarding mermaids, I like the idea of them changing their biological sex under certain conditions like some breeds of fish do in real life. I’ve seen the notion brought up in various contexts and always thought it a very interesting thing.
In the case of Yao in the GGGnK universe, I personally headcanon the Han-Gyojin as the male version of a mermaid! For starters, the way Yao transforms herself to have human legs rather than her usual fish tail would be a form of Deep Sea Witchcraft (aka youjitsu, dark arts) the Han-Gyoujin uses to transform Kitaro in episode 58. Yao can use this as a way to fight as well, making her body stronger... but if prolonged it goes out of control. Irrationality and aggression take hold as the sense of self is lost. The body changes further and further, until one is no longer a mermaid, but a Han-Gyojin...
...I have way more I’d like to discuss on this topic, but I don’t want this post getting to lengthy so I’ll leave it at that for now! Hope folks enjoy!!

— Happy Holidays, Bernie!! @handpuppetsbybrett
it wouldn't let me tag your text blog but that's alright! happy molly day, everyone give it up for molly day!! hehehe i love you! everything i want to say is under the cut 🖤
my star crossed best friend,
⟡ I almost don't even know what to say!! I've gushed my heart out to you over and over again, and it remains the same– I love you! You're one of my closest friends in the entire universe and I wouldn't have it any other way. the way we could literally talk for hours, about anything? Text, call, anywhere, anytime! I hope we can hang out again soon, I'm sorry I've been so busy! Maybe we can watch MagiRevo together... maybe the bandori movies if you and Zora haven't gotten to them yet? hehe. speaking of, too, will forever be so crazy the bond we share across our kins as the four of us. like there's vnc, and mygo, and gangstar, sirius, and I'm sure there more to discover!!! it's like fate wanted us to stay friends forever. and who am I to argue with that. I mean, honestly, thank you for staying as long as you have, and for wanting to talk to us more. I can't imagine my life without you or Rey in it and I'm so happy that we met!! I could ramble forever and ever about how amazing you are, how funny and charismatic you are, and how patient and comforting your person is but it's all silly sappy stuff I tell you every day! I just wanted you to know that you're someone so special to me, you always know what to say, you understand me when I don't even get myself, and I appreciate you so so much... have a great holiday this year, I hope you like your gifts!!!!! LOSERRRR
You were quite possibly one of the most difficult to choose kins for, I say this affectionately, because we share so many sources and you are so many of my favorite people and comforts. My theme was "characters I knew you as in another lifetime", and I chose who I chose for that reason! Honorary potentials were Cerberus, Lotte, Crona, Noé, Tomori or PAREO, Luz, Luigi, and Fluttershy! among others. Celeste, what a shining little light you were! Thank you for teaching me new things every time we talked, and for bringing joy to our town or island. wherever you lived, of course. It was always a delight having you around, I know your brother was so proud of you too! you were someowl very special to me. I'd ruffle your feathers if I could, haha. sincerely, that weird human who showed up one day. Hau!! Come here you! I love love looove you so much! I knew you as many, but right now I want to talk to you as Selene. My brother, my best friend in the entire universe, you were one of the first people I met when I moved to Alola, and were definitely my first friend. I have only the fondest memories with you, thank you for being in my life! I hope the sun is shining where you are! and... Kaoruko... so much to say here. You know, I never once held a grudge, well, that is to say maliciously. I wanted you to look my way, acknowledge me, I looked up to you so much, in ways I don't think you ever knew. It motivated me. You were more than family to me, Ruko, you were eternally something that mattered in ways I can't express. I'm so happy that you're in my life, both then and now. Chasing Sirius, but that I'm always right behind you, and that I will find you again and again. I love you, and hope you'll be waiting for me in the future! ♡

Free! (Genshin AU)
I'm up to it once again, more Genshin AUs for other fandoms. I really have little to none ideas eh. But it's nice to imagine what these characters would be like if they were in Genshin Universe. So feel free to request of your headcanons or so.
Take a look at the other fandoms I've hc-ed for:
MTP,
Haikyuu ( Karasuno // Nekoma ),
MLQC,
Idolish7 (I7 & Trigger // Re:Vale & ZOOL // Other Characters)
~~~~~~
~ IWATOBI GANG~
- Haruka Nanase -
Vision: Hydro
Weapon: Catalyst/Bow
Affiliation: Mondstadt
> I wanted to give him catalyst but at the same time he kinda fits with a bow. And putting him in Mondstadt seems so right. It's freedom in that nation, you can find him swimming at the Cider Lake.
- Makoto Tachibana -
Vision: Geo
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Mondstadt, Dawn Winery
> My man Makoto already screams like a Geo character. Tall, handsome, muscular? Claymore. Making him work with Diluc at Dawn Winery also sounds nice. Who wants a barista/waiter Makoto?
- Nagisa Hazuki -
Vision: Anemo
Weapon: Polearm
Affiliation: Mondstadt
> This boy here, is so carefree and fun to be around. Imagining him with Anemo sounds very right. We can see him running around with kids, maybe fooling around with Venti. He might even do tricks with his polearm to entertain the people.
- Rei Ryugazaki -
Vision: Electro/Hydro
Weapon: Sword
Affiliation: Knights of Favonius, Mondstadt
> Tbh, idk if Rei would be blessed with Electro or Hydro. But a part of my thinks that he might be an Electro user. Rei is definitely part of the Alchemist faction of the KoF as one of Albedo's assistants. He likes beauty, thus I can definitely see him fight with a sword passionately.
- Shizuru Isurugi -
Vision: Hydro
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Liyue
> He talks about fish and compare things with seafood. I see him coming from Liyue and probably be the son of one of the greatest fishermen there.
- Romio Hayahune -
Vision: Cryo
Weapon: Bow
Affiliation: Liyue
> I don't really know much nor take notice of him, but my impression of him is that he might be blessed with Cryo vision. He did mention Tokyo is his second home, thus why I think he fits by coming from Liyue, a nation of contracts and business.
- Gou Matsuoka -
Vision: Cryo
Weapon: Catalyst/Sword
Affiliation: Inazuma (former), Mondstadt
> The Matsuoka family moves around a lot during Gou's and Rin's childhood. And she definitely has Cryo vision to mess around with the Iwatobi guys. Like freezing the lake to avoid Haru from swimming during the winter, creating ice paths to let kids play on the ice and other things.
- Ayumu Kunikida -
Vision: Geo
Weapon: Catalyst
Affiliation: Mondstadt
> She looks like Geo Sucrose. She'll be with Timaeus instead of the KoF. She'll throw rocks at the baddies from a far, unintentionally playing pranks on the hilichurls. She'll be Sucrose's best friend too. They'd create the weirdest and questionable things ever.
~ SAMEZUKA GANG ~
- Rin Matsuoka -
Vision: Pyro
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Inazuma // Fontaine
> He has pyro vision 100%! Passionate with his dreams to the point he might accidentally burn something. Probably evaporate the water at times. Gou will be the one who would help him maintain the water level. She'd freeze liquid while he melts them.
- Sousuke Yamazaki -
Vision: Geo
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Inazuma // Liyue
> Rock hard muscle man carries a claymore like his buddy. Geo vision user indeed. He can also be a healer and DPS like Noelle! He'd be Rin's best partner in the team aside from Haru and Gou. Since Rin and Sousuke were from Inazuma, I can see them returning and being part of the resistance with Sangonomiya. They'd fight for freedom together (and making sure that Rin doesn't explode like a volcano)
- Aiichirou Nitori -
Vision: Dendro
Weapon: Sword
Affiliation: Sangonomiya Troupe, Inazuma
> Idk why, but Nitori looks like he would have Dendro vision. I see him as a person who likes nature and would be more of a healer and support. He'd be with the medical team of the resistance. And making sure Momo behaves.
- Momotarou Mikoshiba -
Vision: Electro
Weapon: Polearm
Affiliation: Sangonomiya Troupe, Inazuma
> Boy is so explosive he may have had created Overload with his brother or Rin. He's exciting but also has limits. At least he listens to the general and the higher ups, making him one of the best fighter in the resistance.
~ HIDAKA U ~
- Seijuurou Mikoshiba ~
Vision: Pyro
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Sangonomiya Troupe, Inazuma
> Mikoshiba Chaos number 1. Do I need to say more? Chaos with his siblings? Why not. Not only that, he's one of the best captains in the resistance, leading his team with full victory, training them to be the best of the best. He received recognition from both Gorou and Kokomi. Was probably one of the Tenryou Commission officers but betrayed them once the Vision Hunt Decree happened.
- Asahi Shiina -
Vision: Pyro
Weapon: Polearm
Affiliation: Liyue
> Probably the son of one of the commissioners in Liyue. And most likely one of the best adventurers of Liyue. Also a promoted officer of the Millelith. Like Seijuurou, he's a good leader. He may be reckless, but his chaotic and lively attitude brings positivity in the team work.
- Kisumi Shigino -
Vision: Anemo
Weapon: Sword
Affiliation: Fontaine // Liyue
> This guy is so carefree but when it comes to business or leading his adventure team, he's serious. As a reference that his uncle works with a company that's gotta do with housings, his family probably is a part of a commissioner thingy and has contacts with the Liyue Qixing. He's like Tohma in a way, kinda like the middle man or a fixer. We need him to deal with complicated things.
~ SHIMOGAMI U ~
- Tsubasa Hoshikawa -
Vision: Electro
Weapon: Polearm
Affiliation: Doushin, Inazuma
> He's a minor character but he shows good leadership by how he talks to his teammates. I imagine him being one of the generals of the Tenryou Commission
- Ikuya Kirishima -
Vision: Cryo
Weapon: Bow
Affiliation: Tenryou Commission, Inazuma
> I was so close to imagining him using a claymore as a reference of Razor. I headcanon cryo characters to be someone perfectionist in a way, thus why I think Ikuya might be a Cryo vision bearer.
- Hiyori Toono -
Vision: Geo
Weapon: Sword
Affiliation: Kanjou Commission, Inazuma
> Kanjou commission clearly shows how much they wanted to manipulate traveler upon them reaching Inazuma. And that's what and how I view Hiyori as. He's cheeky, good with words. He might be like Tohma, a fixer, at the same time manipulating people with taxes and whatever Kanjou Commission does. He might even block outlanders with his Geo vision.
~ OTHERS ~
- Natsuya Kirishima -
Vision: Pyro
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Tenryou Commission (former), The Crux (current)
> My man Natsuya travels a lot. He's like Kazuha, the wandering ronin. I can definitely see him as Beidou's second in command in the ship. He's also a good leader, a caring and kind individual. His pyro vision provides warmth in the cold nights in the sea. If this guy even dare, he would even dive into the sea to swim.
- Nao Serizawa -
Vision: Dendro
Weapon: Catalyst/Bow/Sword
Affiliation: Bubu Pharmacy, Liyue
> I can see him working as Baizhu's disciple. I don't know why I see him having dendro vision, but he just screams dendro. He's majoring as sports medic of some sorts, thus I see him working with Bubu Pharmacy along with Qiqi. He would expect Natsuya and other characters to visit him to ask for medicines.
- Isuzu Mikoshiba -
Vision: Anemo
Weapon: Sword
Affiliation: Sangonomiya Troupe, Inazuma
> Mikoshiba Chaos number 2. With anemo, she can apply swirl to overload from her brothers' visions. Following Seijuurou's footsteps, she strives to become a good leader and role model. Kokomi would even ask her to be her assistant. Big bro Mikoshiba is proud of little sister Mikoshiba.
- Kaede Kinjou -
Vision: Electro [Hydro; Delusion]
Weapon: Claymore
Affiliation: Fatui, Snehznaya
> idl this guy. I definitely see him with the fatui. His few targets would be Ikuya, Rin, Haruka, Sousuke and Asahi. I can see him fooling around with them with so many ruthless tactics he has under his sleeves. Not to mention how aggressive he can be. Scaramouche weaker version.
- Albert Volandel -
Vision: Cryo/Hydro
Weapon: Polearm
Affiliation: Fontaine
> I view him fighting as gracefully as Rei, maybe even more. But as for his vision, I'm unsure if he would be blessed with cryo or hydro.
~~~~~~
It took me quite some time to figure out the characters whenever I do these things. But any whooo, a family fic for Natsuya is coming soon, as well as my first two requests are now under editing. Stay tuned for the stories!
