#reverse mermen au

[arttsuka]

Marine biologist spock constantly mopping his wet floors since mer kirk and mer mccoy keep climbing out of their tank and curiously crawling all over his lab to explore 😂

Mccoy is out for revenge actually

[yonemurishiroku]

Jercy merman AU where they are both mermen. One of them gets turned human and doesn't like it. "GIVE ME MY TAIL BACK PLEASEEEE"

….Are you giving me a reverse Little Mermaid because I’m having a deja-vu here.

It’s funny tho. Like. Imagine you’re used to swimming around with your flexible tail and suddenly you only have two useless sticks. (And another smaller one in between but we dont talk about that here) So now you’re like. Swinging the sticks pathetically in the water. Slowly sinking.

Also bet that’s Percy. That’s def Percy.

[kestalsblog]

Omg a Stanman mermaid AU would be amazingggg. I think it’s be sweet to have Stan be the mermaid, Cartman the human but the reverse dynamic would be soo cool too! Cartman the distrustful merman who grows to love a kind-hearted human Stan. Either way it works!

That would be soooo cute 🥺 an outside Colorado AU with reports of a mysterious beautiful merman roaming the waters . Skeptical Eric doesn’t believe it until he spots merman Stan for himself 🩵

Or Stan the merman has been shipped to South Park as some kind of show, and it’s up to Cartman to rescue him 🥺

I think distrustful merman Eric also works really well though 😭 we all know Stan adores sea creatures, so imagine the instant infatuation. He’d be determined to show Cartman not all humans are bad!

I love romantic fics where mermen slowly develop appreciation and trust of humanity. Thanks for sending such a fun message my way! 💕 I have too many ideas and not enough time to execute them ☹️

I did my best, first time I drew mermens (mermaids in general).

I tried to go for Dwarf Gourami fish for merman!Nines and Koi fish for merman!Gavin. (And Nines in the second drawing has just one thought «What am I supposed to do with this ?!»)

Done using ink pens, graphite pencils, colored pencils and an acrylic paint pen

Scared Shrimpless

@forgwater POSSESSED I TELL YOU

Movie Night got cancelled on account of trauma

"Aw man, movie night at Ramshackle! I'm thinking tonight's theme should be horror."

"Ace, you just want to scare the Prefect."

"Pssh, and so what if I do? You going to sit here and act like you're not going to offer to 'hold their hand if they're scared'? Come on Deucey, we both know you want them to hide behind you when they get jumpscared."

The freshman duo continued to bicker as they walked along the path to Ramshackle from the main campus. The sun had just set, and the twilight surrounding them gave everything a cheap B-list horror movie feel. There was even a fog creeping across the land the closer they got to the dilapidated building their best friend called home. (Unbeknownst to the Heartslabyul students, the ghosts had found their old industrial fog machine, and after a trade with Sam's shadowy helpers, they were able to obtain an obscene amount of dry ice). It was silently agreed upon that they would rather focus their attention on making the other student blush because of their shared crush on Yuu than acknowledge how much night walks to Ramshackle scared the daylights out of them.

And then they heard it.

Ace wrote the noise off as the wind whistling through some trees, but as it steadily grew louder, Deuce finally stopped mid-stutter to look for the source of the screeching that seemed to be getting closer.

"aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Ace you hear that too right?"

"Yeah, it actually kind of sounds like the Pre-"

"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE YOU SIN AGAINST NATURE"

Ace and Deuce were left dumbfounded as The Ramshackle Prefect zoomed right on past them, moving so fast the boys' hair fluttered in the breeze they left behind.

They looked at each other. Then at the back of the retreating student. At each other once more. And then with a mutual understanding of "we're both too stupid to not see what Yuu is running from", they turned to face the direction Yuu had come from.

A mistake really, probably the biggest mistake the two had made all year.

Barrelling around the corner into their line of sight was a green and purple mass of pure nightmare fuel, running as fast as its oddly detailed and toned legs could carry it, screaming in a hauntingly familiar (yet distorted and just wrong) voice "Shrimpyyyyyyy!"

The duo stood frozen as the crime against gods ran by them in its pursuit of his prey, long eel tail and purple scarf whacking them both in his haste.

It paid to share a single brain cell, because all it took was one second long glance at each other, and then the movie night was abandoned.

They say if you stood outside anywhere on the eastern side of campus that night, you could hear the tortured screams of the magicless student, and if you were unlucky enough, maybe even the booming cackles of one of Satan's rejects.

My work for the @rwrbreversebang 2021! Let my imagination (run away) with you gladly || rwrb reverse bang 2021 mermaid au

Art by @chupacu and betaed by @galwaygremlin

Summary: Prince Alexander is perfectly happy, living in his mother’s kingdom under the sea with his sister and his parents. He’d be perfectly happy swimming along the reefs and pranking June to his heart’s content, except for one thing: the neighboring Prince Henry is nothing but a snooty asshole who just wants to ruin his life by driving him off the edge.

Until both princes get into a rather public fight at Crown Prince Philip’s wedding, crashing through a prized coral reef belonging to the Windsor kingdom in front of all the kingdoms. Parents and handlers quickly devise a plan for Alex and Henry to go on a ‘goodwill’ tour in order to mend the wedding fiasco. The close quarters forces both boys to reevaluate how they see each other, and what their relationship truly is.

-

No applicable warnings, happy ending, pretty much idiots to lovers, merpeople au. It’s meant to be like canon, just a bit different scenario.

[kaebedom-me]

You ask and you shall receive lmao

Can I request nsfw poly!Ch💙ya with childe and Kaeya both being mermaids. Reader being male or gn, whichever is easier for you. If this is too specific or you have any like questions or smth, just DM me!

if nobody got me in my inbox, at least i can count on tumblr user 0 miles away [crying emoji]

forgive me, if i ever seem like im repeating myself a lot because i forget what i've written but here goes!

they're mermaids from different waters,,,

childe's from the colder or freezing regions of waters since he's from snezhnaya

kaeya's from the abyss waters. he'd be the most beautiful most fucking terrifying mermaid you've ever seen because he comes from the really deep seas. so yes, his fins look like those nightmare-ish deep sea creatures

hhh FUCK it's so scary and sharp and long!! but when the moonlight hits it juuust right, his tail looks like the night sky and it's so pretty it could bring you to tears

kaeya's tail is so long, much longer than childe's but childe's is stronger and faster

mermaids from the snezhnaya waters are known for their strength and speed but since childe enjoys fighting and all he's extra stronks

kaeya moves slower, isn't as strong but that's ok because he usually blinds prey with his beauty. that and i also feel like he can paralyse and poison his preys

if you could leisurely explore the deep sea, you still wouldnt be able to see kaeya a lot because he hides himself away from other creatures, if he needs to hunt, his tail would be out and that's pretty much all you'd see

so people think he's a serpent or a really long kind of creature

childe hunts with his bare teeth and hands lmao why use weapons and be classy when you can tear thru your prey amirite

childe is friends with kaeya because one time he swam down so deep he happens across kaeya who was chilling out of his hiding spot for once

hh I'll do your request before i get carried away because hdsdfdh chxxya???? MERMAIDS?????

i think childe is a little bit like Ariel, curious about humans (curious to see if he can fight them) (spoilers: yes and he'd win)

kaeya's more indifferent to them. they're not particularly fascinating creatures, nor are they nutritious to him. they don't offer him anything but he won't harm them

so i like to think childe's the one that introduces you to kaeya

it takes forever to convince kaeya because kaeya doesn't care for humans shdffdfh

but when he does meet you, he enjoys your company :)

i was never a monster fucker but something about kaeya and childe just,,,,,, [eyes emoji]

so anyway it doesn't matter your gender, i just want you to know that being in a sexual poly relationship with them can be summed up as "Too Many Dicks"

they each have two like sharks :)

childe's is thicker and sturdier but kaeya's longer :)

that's four fucking dicks dude tf

there's also a lot of tail, there's only two but because kaeya's so long it feels like a lot

kaeya wrapping his tail around you while he's fucking you [eyes emoji]

for my breeding kink fans out there, i like to think when they ejaculate it's like a slimy substance but when they want to breed they'd pump eggs into you for you to incubate

they're also bigger,,,,

cuz my size kink said so. they're bigger, not quite foul legacy big but they're almost as big as a shark uwu

this is MY AU I DO WHAT I WANT

but right, poly relationship

being in a relationship with two mermaids is sometimes a struggle since not being able to breathe underwater and all but that's ok because they can come hang with you on the shore

reverse little mermaid where you become a mermaid at the end because you love they [bottom emoji]

oooo but say you're a marine biologist or a marine researcher or someone that just likes the sea and is around the sea a lot, so you'd stay near the water so they can come visit you whenever they want

sometimes they take you away to nice caves so they can cuddle you and not be seen by other humans

childe likes to bring you things that he finds, like pearls or pretty shells

kaeya told him specifically to bring those because otherwise childe will 1000% bring you dead fish that has a bite out of it because he hunted it just for you LMAO

if you like seafood though it wouldn't be a problem

kaeya once he warms up to you is the clingiest mother fucker, he will not let you have alone time, he constantly has his tail around you so he can steal your body heat

since he's down in the depths a lot, heat sources are lesser to come by, so when you become his, you also unintentionally signed up to be his personal heater HAHAHAH

he's not cold he just enjoys feeling your warmth

but lmao since they're mermaids they don't know about human mating, you'd have to teach them

imagine very scary very intimidating mermen learning about foreplay and aftercare

luckily for you, they're perceptive and learn quick

also they care a lot for you uwu

imagine stripping for the first time, and they ask you why you only have 1 penis, where do they go?, isn't mating specifically for breeding? humans do this for fun?

childe gets addicted to sex after the first few times because you opened his eyes to something for pleasurable

he tells you after the first time y'all had sex, "I understand dolphins now" HAHHAHAHAH

kaeya's a little reluctant at first because just why? but he too lowkey gets addicted to sex uwu

but generally, it's a very sweet relationship, they try their best to take care of you

childe's usually very eager to bring you to cool places he's been so he can show you cool stuff

and kaeya just likes to be in your company

[halveablock]

oops

fell asleep again, gonna dump these all together oops. thanks for sending them!

wellthengetouttathesoupaisle asked:

OOOO ok let's dooo role reversal, hanahaki, and mermaid aus

role reversal -  C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.

despite myself brainrotting over stsg role reversal lol this rating is due to how rare it is to find a good role reversal fic/concept. i think most of the time people don’t put a lot of thought into just how different the characters would be and what would need to happen in canon in order for role reversals to make sense. it’s usually worse in terms of fanart where people are mostly just interested in superficial visual swaps which i’m not really a fan of.

hanahaki - D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.

LMAO the only hanahaki fic i’ve liked is yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think a lot of the times hanahaki turns into some sort of kdrama-ish plot so i’ve been put off by the trope overall.

mermaid AUs - F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic. 

oh my god i do not like mermaid AUs i’m sorry. i do not like mermaids/mermen. more beastly depictions of mermaids/mermen are passable but they are very rare in fics/fanart that i just like to avoid them in general. :’D (hence big suffering in mermay lol)

Anonymous asked:

Fake dating? ^^

C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead. 

i’m not huge into dating/characters dating so fake dating as a concept sounds too silly for me unless the character is looking for a beard or something LOL. but if the characters are extremely dumb gay while fake dating that could be funny so i sometimes enjoy it.

sowlmates asked:

friends to lovers!

B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.

call me vanilla but friends to lovers is great. variations on it even better like enemies to friends to lovers, hiccups in-between like friends to enemies to lovers. <- that one would be an A rating

Anonymous asked:

Soulmate AU for the ff tropes?

D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.

a lot of soulmate concepts feels really contrived or dip into the Problematique™ for me, like [you’re disabled in some way until you meet your soulmate!] kind of concepts. so unless the concept is tasteful i won’t read it. i’m alright with soulmate fusions though, like in a reincarnation fic or something.

closedcaptioning asked:

character death?

B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.

i love characters dying and other characters reacting to it. fics are a great way to explore that esp if i don’t actually want the character to die in canon lol

Anonymous asked:

For the fanfic trope thing,,, bittersweet endings?

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it. 

i love these types of endings. when i say i enjoy angst with a happy ending, bittersweet endings are really what i’m looking for. the quality of Mixed Feelings present in bittersweet endings is exquisite for me.

[theclockworkkidart]

I love your mermen jojoba characters! What would mermista look like? Would his little bullets be merbullets to? Omg I may need to draw that now.

Thank you! Ah he's a human in the AU (his info) and would only be a mer in the "reverse mer AU". Most stands become their tails in the mer AU although considering the Pistols they may hang around him like fairies still-

They promise to help one another escape and be free if they ever get the chance to. Hen’s chance comes when a flock of Avian soldiers fly overhead. Hen’s instincts and carnal desire to be with his people take over and he loses focus, only intent on getting up into the air and with the others. He had never flown before, but he tries again and again. The nameless servant sees this and does his best to help. They are successful in helping Hen take flight, but Hen couldn’t go back to help the servant and instead lives a new life with his people. The servant ended up being wounded by Hen’s talons and he is left behind. He is punished and kicked off into the street to defend for himself.

But Chase decides that he wants to know what happened to his childhood Avian friend. They go to the Avian kingdom. Story yet to be officially introduced. Tag: #bird hen

Nachtkrapp Henrik AU: Henrik is a nachtkrapp. He is ambushed by Anti, a bitchy glitchy demon who thought that his wings were cool. A strange relationship blossoms between them. Then he meets a human named Chase when he meant to prey upon his children, but was stopped. A strange relationship blossoms between them too. Then one night when he meant to visit Chase, he discovers that Chase and Anti had also met that night at a club and ended up at Chase’s apartment. They all end up in a polyamorous relationship. There are various versions of this AU with different characters being nachtkrapps and all in different scenarios. Tag: #nachtkrapp henrik

Anti with Tentacles: There are three versions: Whump where Anti beats the other egos up with his tentacles, Horny where Anti fucks the other egos with his tentacles (on my nsfw blog: @0range-grapes), and Soft where Anti hugs the other egos with his tentacles. Tag: #anti with tentacles, see also #soft anti

Demon Harem AU: Chase goes to a party and gets drunk with his friend Jack. When someone mentions summoning demons because that’s what people do at parties, he and Jack drag a few people back to his apartment where he tells them that his flatmate, Celine, has dabbled in the dark arts before and has a bunch of relics. He passes out on the couch and wakes up still drunk surrounded by a bunch of people in funny looking costumes. He laughs at them and when one grabs his face, he laughs at them too. “You dare laugh in the face of the demon king?” he asks, but Chase is not convinced. “Demon king? Is that what you’re supposed to be?” He boops him on the nose, unafraid. The “demon king” smiles and sends him to a bedchamber to rest “because this human is very amusing,” he said. Then Chase wakes up the next morning to find out that he really did end up in hell and accidentally crashed a demon meeting. They all end up finding him amusing and it soon becomes a harem. Celine and Jack are also on earth panicking and trying to get Chase back. Story in progress. Tag: #demon harem au

Wizards of the Old Magic: Henrik is a wizard and Chase is his apprentice. Jackie and Robbie are delivery boys working for Jamie, a general store owner and ex fortune teller. Jackie and Robbie deliver whatever Henrik and Chase may need to their little island off the coast. One day, Jamie wakes with a horrible vision of destruction. A wizard of old will attack, stealing away the strongest magic users and turn them into puppets so he can conquer the world. Only another wizard of old just as powerful as the evil one can fight and defeat him. There is only one known possibly living wizard of old left: Marvin and together, they must find him. Story to be written. Tag: #old magic AU

No name yet, but this was made to prove to @happyallykats that I know making so many AUs has become a problem, but I can and will keep making them: Jamie dreams of different universes, going on adventures and making new friends, and he wakes with new trinkets from these worlds once every month. He wants to go back to these worlds and revisit the friends he made so he obsesses over making a machine that will let him control which worlds he can go to and possibly being others with him. Jackie, a good friend of his, watches as Jamie does this so passionately, but sees how he forgets to take care of himself. He rambles on about the adventures he had and what he’s seen, but Jackie worries for him. Jamie no longer comes out of his house unless necessary. He doesn’t take time off and his small clock making business is suffering. They no longer hang out together. One day, Jackie drags Jamie out of his house and takes him on a picnic at the beach. They talk to each other, the most they’ve talked to each other for months, and they stay until sunset. Jackie reminds Jamie that they live in a beautiful world too. He doesn’t need to go to a different universe to have an adventure. Jamie tried to rebuttal, the friends he made in those worlds are waiting for him to return. Jackie looks at him and tells them that he’s been waiting for him too. Idk about story. No tag

Road Trip AU: The egos go on a road trip and drive each other crazy. Chase is a very tired parent. Story in asks. Tag: #road trip au

Winter AU: Henrik is the embodiment of Winter and has been for far longer than his predecessors. He is fine with the idea until he meets a widower and his two children

[thelastspeecher]

oh btw the latest thing we’ve been discussing on the discord is a Reverse MerGucket AU, where Stan and Ford are mermen (shark mermen, to be precise), and the McGuckets are humans, two of whom eventually become mer as well.

it’s...pretty rad, tbh.

Just One Thing I Need | @blueascend Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 3,503 Main Tags/Warnings: Christmas, competition, fluff Summary: Dean and Castiel get competitive over Christmas gifts.

Better Not Pout | @blueascend​ Rating: Explicit Word Count: 907 Main Tags/Warnings: Christmas, PWP Summary: For a moment, everything is wet tight heat, and Cas’ hands grabbing at his hips hard enough to leave bruises, and then Dean makes the mistake of looking down. And promptly bursts out laughing.  Cas pulls away and gives him an irritated look.  “Sorry,” Dean manages to gasp. “I just- I can’t take you seriously with that thing.” Cas sighs and reaches for the Santa hat on his head. “Do you want me to take it off?”

Oh, Howly Night! | @thedogsled​ Rating: General Audiences  Word Count: 1,256 Main Tags/Warnings: Tooth rotting fluff, Christmas fic, Domestic!Dean, Sam gets a dog, Team Free Will 2.0, Proposal, Poetry Summary: It’s Christmas morning in the bunker on Jack’s first Christmas as part of the Winchester family. Castiel is here, of course, and gifts wait around the tree to be given out. And if one of those gifts, labeled “Sam”, gives a little wiggle, then no big deal, right? Illustrated by the author

The Promise in a Kiss | @destimushi​ Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 1,348 Main Tags/Warnings: Valentine’s Day, county fair, Post-Canon, Kiss cam, Marriage Proposal, Cas loves bees Summary: It’s Valentine’s Day and the annual County Fair is in town. Dean uses this chance to do something he’s been meaning to for a long time.

My Christmas Valentine | @ellen-of-oz Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 9,756 Main Tags/Warnings: Christmas Fluff, Christmas in the Bunker, Bunker Fluff, Romantic Fluff, Season 13, First Kiss Summary: Christmas isn’t usually a big deal for the Winchesters, but this year with Cas home and Jack excited for the holiday, the Christmas spirit is strong in the bunker. Cas is looking for a reason to stay and Dean is trying to give him one, if he can only find the courage to do so.

Waiting in the Wings | @flightoftheseraph​ Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 2,107 Main Tags/Warnings: Reverse!Verse, Angel!Dean, Hunter!Castiel, Mild Blood, Valentines Summary: Castiel an injured hunter stumbles into a town and meets an angel who may just have be having the same rotten luck he is.

Tradition (Tradition) | @alxdiamond​ Rating: Explicit Word Count: 2,843 Main Tags/Warnings: Human!AU, Holiday Traditions, Jewish!Castiel, Semi-Public Sex, Inappropriate use of a Christmas Tree Summary: “Look,” Aaron said more seriously, “it’s been how many years since high school? It’s about time you got together with your idiot and figured out a shared tradition that’s meaningful to both of you, instead of getting grumpy about it. Welcome to the modern reality of the blended family.” Dean has loved the town Christmas tree his whole life; Cas has resented it for almost as long. They work out a compromise.

Honest as Always | @surlybobbies Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 3,186 Main Tags/Warnings: Christmas, friends to lovers, fluff Summary: He turns off the engine. “Get it together, Winchester,” he mumbles to himself, a pitiful pep talk for facing the man he’s been in love with for two years. He takes a deep breath to steel himself, then grabs the plate of cookies from the passenger seat before getting out of the car. He walks up the steps to the porch just in time for Cas to open his front door. He’s wearing a thick dark blue sweater with a large googly-eyed reindeer sewn onto the front. He probably made it himself. “Dean,” Cas says, and there’s so much surprise and affection in his voice that Dean stumbles on the snow-covered ceramic frog near the top of the stairs.

Plotbunny | @mittensmorgul Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 21,550 Main Tags/Warnings: Case Fic, Canon Divergence, Fluff and Humor, Crack Treated Seriously, Sharing a Bed, John Winchester’s A+ Parenting, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, vaguely implied attempted rape, Easter Summary: Sam finds a case in a town that harbors long-repressed childhood trauma for both him and Dean. Once upon a time, it played host to Sam’s discovery that the Easter bunny was a fraud perpetuated by his brother. But while Sam was busy resenting Dean for how that truth came to light, he missed the bigger picture of what Dean had been up to for the month John had left them behind, and the boy he’d spent most of his time with. Now, with a potential supernatural killer on the loose, Dean has to dredge up a part of his past he’d thought he’d safely buried so deep it would never see the light of day. Cas helps.

A Lot to Learn About Living | @zetsubounikki Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 9,184 Main Tags/Warnings: God!Castiel, Christmas, Animal Sanctuary, AU - Hunters Summary: At the tail end of a hunt on Christmas Eve, Sam hatches a brilliant idea. Said idea takes Dean blissfully away from Homestead, Florida to the uninhabited island of Marquesas Key off the coast of Florida, all under the guise of finding a god. Only upon their arrival, they’re not met with a human face, but rather, the large muzzles of two Newfoundlands instead. Because Marquesas Key isn’t home to just any God. Marquesas Key is home to Castiel, the God of pets, and over the centuries, Castiel has inherited a problem–at any given point in the year, strangers leave their ailing animals on the island, believing that Castiel would take care of them in the afterlife. Dean and Sam are the first humans Castiel has unwillingly interacted with in decades, not counting the Christmas banquets in Key West centered around feeding the community. And the moment Dean sets foot on Castiel’s porch, Dean is utterly lost in this Jimmy Buffett reject that breathes new life into everything he touches. One thing he knows for sure, Dean will never forget this Christmas.

Garbage Cookies | @sternchencas Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 2,389 Main Tags/Warnings: fluff, Christmas Eve Summary: Both Dean and Castiel aren’t very fond of Christmas. They don’t even put up Christmas lights, incurring their neighbors disapproval. But when Castiel notices Dean’s sadness, he decides to bring a little light in the other man’s life.

match made in hell | @sternchencas Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 5,682 Main Tags/Warnings: Valentine’s Day, naked cupids, declaration of love Summary: Dean deliberately ignores Valentine’s day so Sam feels the need to find a date for him. With help from a very naked cupid. Or two.

Brother Duty | @profound-boning Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 1,059 Main Tags/Warnings: POV alternating, gross boyfriends, pure fluff, halloween Summary: “Dean Winchester, you are taking your little brother trick-or-treating tonight and that is final.”

Never Take an Ex-Angel Shopping | @firefly124 Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 2,635 Main Tags/Warnings: bunker!fic, christmas Summary: Dean knew it was a bad idea to take Cas shopping for Christmas decorations. Good thing he did it anyway.

[sterek-bingo]

Happy New Year everyone!! To celebrate the great occasion of a new year, we've come to present you with this year's theme description post!! Under the cut you'll find the official descriptions for 2018's Bingo themes, in case you were stuck or just needed a little more clarity!

Tattoos- From triskeles to burning flesh to pack symbols, tattoos have always played a very big role in Teen Wolf, and there’s no reason not to continue that trend! There are so many ways to use tattoos, so many styles and themes, from the classics to the more unique, let your creativity really shine with the most personal form of art there is!

Werewolves Are Known- What used to be one of the most popular AU tropes can easily be applied to canon now, but you can feel free to use whatever universe setting you’d like for your peice! Canon, AU, A/B/O, crossover, the only rule is that werewolves are known to exist by ATLEAST a portion of the general public- it doesn’t have to be the entire world, it can be as small as one town, just so long as a portion of the general public know werewolves exist, the choices are your’s!

Zombies- From The Walking Dead to iZombie, from Afterlife With Archie to Warm Bodies, it’s safe to say that zombies have taken over modern pop culture, now it’s time to let the dead invade the world of Teen Wolf as well! You can easily make a zombie crossover with HUNDREDS of different media sources, or you can create your own universe and mythology- you could even set it in the Teen Wolf universe! Be it due to science or magic or something in between, the dead are rising, now will Stiles and Derek defeat them? Or… are Stiles and Derek PART of them…?

Witch & Familiar- The theme of a witch and a werewolf working together as two halves of an unstoppable pair has been popular with the Sterek fandom since the beginning, and though it’s usually Emissary!Stiles lending his assistance to Alpha!Derek, it might be fun to switch things around with Derek as a familiar lending his assistance to witch!Stiles- or the reverse! Perhaps you’d like to mix things up and make it witch!Derek and familiar!Stiles, whatever inspires you, feel free to let it run wild!

Bodyguard- Bodyguards have always had a certain appeal to them, be they for a celebrity, a politician, a member of royalty, or- most recently- even for a hitman, there’s just something inherently romantic about a person putting your life before their own, and now it’s time to apply that to Sterek! Be it one protecting the other, both as bodyguards working together, rival bodyguards, it doesn’t matter really, just as long as there’s some life saving (or .. life protecting?) going on, it’s all good here!

Hospital (Hurt/Wounded)- As it turns out, people really love wump! We had so many similar themes that we sort of boiled them down into this- if it involves Derek or Stiles (or both) being injured, ill, in a hospital, or even just emotionally wounded, if there’s some sort of pain involved you’ve got the right theme! Bonus points if you can incorporate multiple styles of using this theme!

Fantasy/Fairytale- From Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella to Alice In Wonderland and The Wizard Of Oz, fantasy and fairytales have always been part of culture, and with the rise of live action remakes like Beauty And The Beast, retellings of old classics like Kubo And The Two Strings, and the creation of modern fairytales like Moana, they seem to be more popular than ever! Let yourself be inspired by the fantastic world around you and carve out a new- or old!- fairytale or fantasy world for Stiles and Derek to be part of!

Spies/Assassin- With Dylan O'Brien starring in American Assassin and Tyler Hoechlin as a leading role in Stratton, the Sterek fandom has certainly had assassins and spies on the brain lately, and Sterek Bingo is getting in on the trend! From legends that Derek is a killer by the name of La Lobo, to the fact that Mitch sounds suspiciously like a nickname for Miecyslaw, there’s certainly alot of in-universe references to work with, and plenty of Hobrien related projects to play with too, or- and ofcourse this is always encouraged- go with your own thing! Let these two cuties start putting the “Fun” back in funeral!

Roadtrip- Who doesn’t love a good roadtrip? Junk food, awesome tunes, stupid car games, the inevitable moment when someone stares at the trees too long and gets car sick.. roadtrips!! Time to let Derek and Stiles enjoy- er… “enjoy”?- all of the wonders of spending an obscene amount of time alone in a car together- or not alone, there’s always the possibility of a family trip or a pack trip too- where are they going? On vacation? Away from Beacon Hills? On a mission to stop a random villain? Or does the destination even matter at all if you have barbecue potato chips, coca cola, and The Eagles on a four-disc set?

Thunderstorm- To some, thunderstorms are soothing, to others, they’re terrifying, but one thing is universal about them- they make for GREAT fan tropes! Let your headcanons loose with this one, does Stiles find the pelting of the rain and soft rolling thunder to be soothing? Does Derek have to cover his sensitive werewolf ears each time he hears a storm approaching? Maybe after The Wild Hunt their perspectives have shifted, or maybe there’s no emotional or psychological attachment at all and they just get caught in the rain after their car breaks down, whatever it is, let the ideas pour down like rain!

The Bite- The Bite is a gift…. right? Well, it’s finally time to make that decision for yourself! Be it a gift, a curse, or something in-between, the point of this theme is all about the bite…. now, it doesn’t //have// to be a werewolf bite, it could be from a vampire, an incubus, or… er.. a human… not every bite has to be transformative, sometimes it’s just kinky, other times it’s about marking a mate or keeping a pack together or- .. really about anything you want it to be about! As long as there’s biting, it’s fine by us!

Monster Of The Week- Ahh the famous Monster Of The Week, popularized by shows like The X-Files and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, to those unfamiliar, the Monster Of The Week idea is about episodic storytelling rather than linear storytelling, one week Buffy fights a sea monster, the next she fights a goblin, and the creatures have no connection to eachother, in terms of fandom, it’s sort of the same idea, choose a monster- any monster!- and create a peice about Stiles and Derek… fighting it, helping it, creating it, heck maybe one of them even IS it, this would be a great chance to flex the Paranormal Investigator AU muscle, but it doesn’t matter what the monster is or how they relate to the story, as long as it’s got a random monster involved, it fits!

Vacation- I think it’s safe to say that Stiles and Derek deserve a vacation right about now, don’t you? They can go anywhere in the world! Hawaii, New York, Tokyo, Paris, even some random small town in Nebraska, all that matters is that they’re away from Beacon Hills and intend to have a break in life… now, if it happens to get interrupted or not, that’s entirely up to you, they can do anything and be anywhere as long as the intention is to have a break from the hell-town they were born in!

Magic Gone Wrong- Magic is an incredible and dangerous thing, for all of the advantages magic has, it certainly brings some disadvantages along with it as well, magic is not an exact science, and at times that’s great! At others… not so much, and for every instance of magic going RIGHT, there are surely atleast three others where it’s gone WRONG, your job is to create a peice about one of those very instances, the circumstances are completely up to you, as long as it involves magic that didn’t *QUITE* go the way it was intended to

Heartbeat- Hearbeats can oftentimes be the soothing reminder that someone is alive… or the cold shock that they aren’t, or, for werewolves, a very convenient tracking device, be it a tool for tracking, spying, or gaining some form of comfort, werewolf hearing has certainly made heartbeats an important tool in the Teen Wolf toolbag, and now it’s time for you to expand on that! Take any genre and any purpose you want to expand on this theme, the only point is that someone’s heartbeat is involved!

Mermaid- Ah mermaids, one of mythology’s most famous figures, they can be sweet and beautifull… or vicious and hideous, depending on your source, but every culture seems to have some variation on them, and the Sterek fandom has created an entire subculture involving mer!Sterek! Now it’s time to add to that! Be it with mermaids (or mermen!) who are, perhaps, involved in match-making Stiles and Derek (or fighting them) or be it Stiles or Derek (or both!) as a merman, one thing is for sure, something fishy is about to go on in the Sterek fandom (but bad puns aside are merfolk really fish? Discuss)

Yeti!Stiles- Ever since Stiles’ “Abominable Snowman” comment from season two, yeti!Stiles has… actually been shockingly small in fandom and I can’t imagine why! For such an easy trope-grab it seems to mostly swoop under the radar, now it’s time for you to change that! Create a peice involving Stiles as an abominable snowman (or “yeti”, as is probably more politically correct) it can be canon or AU or maybe a mix of the two, just as long as Stiles becomes Bigfoot’s colder-climate loving cousin, it’s all good here!

Dogs- Who doesn’t love dogs? From Yorkies to German Shepherds and everything in between, dogs are often thought of to be man’s best freind for a reason, but for Sterek? Mostly they’re just the source of unending werewolf puns! Be it that Stiles and Derek get a dog, or that Derek is, in his wolf form, MISTAKEN for a dog, the only important thing is that dogs- big or small- are in some way involved with Stiles, Derek, and the puppy love they have for eachother! (See, what did I say about the puns?)

Protective!Sterek- From episode 1 to episode 100, one thing has always been true of Sterek, it’s a relationship based not on arguing or banter or love/hate, it’s based on protecting eachother, keeping eachother safe, the first time they’re alone together Stiles tries to save Derek’s life, and ever since it’s been almost a game of who can protect the other next, who can save the other first, now it’s time to once again let that foundation shine in fandom! Create any peice featuring Stiles protecting Derek, Derek protecting Stiles, or even a combination of the two! These two are always trying to best eachother in the protection game after all, so why not feature both?

Dad!Sterek- I don’t know about you, but one of my all-time favorite things is Derek and Stiles as parents! Be they single parents, just meeting for the first time, have been married for twenty-five years and already seven kids, or fall somewhere in between, I just love these two as dads, and I hope you do too! The only requirement for this one is that one or both of the pair have atleast one child, let your imagination go all soft and fluffy for this adorable theme!

Fears/Phobias- A theme that, coincidentally, played a large part in the very last episode of Teen Wolf, playing with a charector’s fears or phobias can be great for both charector and plot building, and can without a doubt create some of the best peices fandom has to offer, be it with canonical phobias presented in the series, things you’ve headcanoned for them yourself, or an AU where everything is up for grabs, the goal here is to create fear for Stiles, Derek, or both- and hopefully, somehow, comfort those fears, though that part isn’t entirely necessary to fit to the theme

Amusement Park- And now for a break from the fear, it’s time to go someplace that’s (usually) considerably less terrifying- an amusement park! Disneyland, Six Flags, Universal Studios, as long as it’s an amusement park and Stiles and Derek are there, it works! It doesn’t even have to be a real-world place, there’s obviously nothing wrong with creating your own and running with it, one of the best things about amusement parks, after all, is the imagination the creators put into it

Celebrity/Famous- I’m sure at one point or another most of us have imagined what it might be like to be famous, now it’s time to put those imaginations to use and imagine what it would be like if Stiles, Derek, or both of them were famous instead! Actors, musicians, social media stars, even royalty, if the papparazzi is interested in them and they have a fanbase, they count!

Leaving Beacon Hills- Let’s be honest here, nothing good ever happens in Beacon Hills, and as the last two episodes of Teen Wolf proved, getting away from that place seems to do good for people’s health, now it’s time to treat Derek and Stiles to something other than horrors and traumas and get them out of there! It can be for good, or just on vacation, just on a work trip even, the point of this theme is to get them away from the town that wants to instill nothing but horror in these boys, and I think fandom can come up with plenty of ways to do that!

Christmas Baby!Derek- Here’s a fun fact, my first ever Sterek fic was written because I love Christmas Baby Derek THAT much, there’s just something about this soft little peach being born on Christmas that makes everything in the world a little cuter- and Stiles probably feels the same way, now it’s your turn to show some appreciation for one of the cutest Derek factoids around! No matter if Derek loves it, hates it, or feels indifferent towards it, we certainly know how WE feel about it, and we’d love to see how you feel about creating a Christmas Baby!Derek peice!

Flower Crowns- Is there anything fluffier and prettier than a flower crown? Probably not, so let’s celebrate them! There’s just something peacefull about seeing a charector with flowers in their hair, and now it’s your turn to add to the (surprisingly large) flower crown portion of the fandom! Be it fluff or humor or something softly somber, these boys deserve ALL of the flower crowns and it’s our intention to give them to them!

Bookstore- Ahh bookstores, the foundation of a large number of meet-cutes, meet-uglies, and things that have nothing to do with meeting at all, it’s pretty obvious that Stiles and Derek both love to read, so let’s put that love to use and introduce a bookstore into the mix! Chain store? Used store? Weird eccentric “This has been out of print for fifty years but we still have a copy” store? It doesn’t matter as long as it sells books and involves Sterek!

Hello Again- After spending time apart, it’s nice to say “Hello” again… be it a canonical separation, or something that happened in an AU, post-canon or canon-divergent, the goal of this theme is Stiles and Derek reuniting again after spending time apart, the reunion can be happy or sad, by chance or planned, it doesn’t matter in the end, all that matters is the two of them reconnecting after having spent time apart, and finally saying “Hello” again

Accidental Baby Acquisition- One of the oldest (and one of my favorite) fandom tropes there is, Accidental Baby Acquisition is much how it sounds, it’s about accidentally coming into possession of a baby! The means can be through magic, through stumbling upon a child in the woods, the classic “baby on a doorstep”, or any other situation you can possibly think of, all that matters is that Derek and Stiles accidentally find themselves caring for a baby!

Wild Card- This is the obligatory bingo square in the very middle where you can do absolutely anything you want! That’s right. There’s no restriction, no guideline, no THEME! It’s your freebie to do anything you may have been wanting to do, but haven’t really had the time or inspiration to do until now- here’s your chance. Now go forth and create Sterek!

Cryptids In The Woods

@forgwater did it go where you were thinking?

This honestly might scare Grim off of tuna. At least for a week.

“Henchuman, it’s weird! He just shows up at odd hours of the night and just stares at our home! For hours! That’s what stalkers do!”

“I mean you’re not exactly wrong per se -watch out for that branch- but Malleus is less of a stalker and more of a Cryptid”.

At this exact moment in time, the Ramshackle dorm is taking a field trip down the mountain, exploring the woods in between Night Raven College and the little port town on Sage Island. Considering it is an early Saturday morning, and Grim couldn't opt out of the excursion (due to him being the only other student in the dorm), the little flame ball is extra grumpy.

Grim is finding anything and everything he can complain about to fill the peaceful silence, and the Diasomnia Housewarden is his current fixation on account of Grim waking up in the middle of the night to find the fae peering in through the second-story window.

His poor little heart is still recovering from that scare.

"Yuuuuuuuuuu, what are we even doing out here?!"

“We’re looking for some potion ingredients for Crewel is what we’re doing. There should be a tree up ahead that we can harvest some oak bark from.”

"And just how do you know this?"

"Our personal Cryptid told me about it."

"... we are talking about that-"

"Yes, Malleus, I'm referring to Malleus."

Grim felt a shiver roll down his spine at the prince's name. He could feel something in the air the further into the woods they trekked, and he was starting to think the Prefect just might somehow summon the gargoyle creep by saying his name so much. The closer they got to where they were heading, the more paranoid Grim became.

Finally, Yuu pushed a cover of vines away, looking back to watch Grim climb over the last few hurdles. They had their back to their destination, but they had a good view of the way their monster companion's eyes widened in awe at the sight of the clearing.

And then Grim let out the most blood-curdling yowl before high tailing it back the way they came.

"Grim!" they attempted to call after him, but he was quickly out of sight and out of earshot. Seeing as that was the same scream the feline had released at exactly 2:46 am the night before, Yuu was prepared to greet the fae as they stepped into the clearing.

"Horning- WHAT THE FUCK!" Not Malleus, this fedora-wearing nightmare was definitely NOT MALLEUS. "FLOYD pleasE I'M BEggiNG YOU, stahp."

"Ah, good morning Prefect!" Jade calls, ignoring the Prefect's sobs. "What brings you to this corner of the mountain?"

"I just wanted to do a nice thing for dad and now I'm going to need years of therapy and WHY ARE YOU SITTING LIKE THAT IT JUST MAKES IT WORSE!"

[adultish-momma]

Fight or Flight

@forgwater for every curse you release upon this fandom, Yuu has another day of trauma to discuss in therapy

The first in a series. I have a certain trio to go back and write for because I was stupid and naive and thought I could just get away with witnessing the curse, not actively participating in it. A fool was me.

Honestly, the day had been going so well, Yuu should've known something weird would happen sooner rather than later.

Yuu had been peacefully enjoying a baked good of some sort from the Heartslabyul kitchen (a.k.a Trey asked if they wanted to try something and then ran with the free food no questions asked). The sun had been so warm that they took a page out of Grim's book and were sunning themselves on the Heartslabyul lawn when they heard some very familiar heels approaching them on the cobblestone path.

"Hi Riddle" they called, eyes still closed against the bright sunlight. "You here as a friend or as an angry housewarden?"

The only response they received was a worn and weary sigh. Although something sounded... off about it.

"I'm going to assume it's option B" Yuu begins, standing up to stretch themselves out. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's not as bad as you th- HOLY MOTHER-!"

Yuu has faced down overblots, delusional bridal ghosts, fae royalty, and Azul's outrageous hidden fees. At this point, they are incredibly numb to the "flight" part of the instinctual fear response. But the giant red goldfish in Riddle's thigh highs had Yuu across the lawn and up a tree in seven seconds flat.

"Prefect, if-"

"DON'T TALK! NO OH MY GOD NO, that makes it all so much WORSE."

"Prefect-"

"I'm gonna cry. Or vomit. Maybe both."

"Yuu wou-"

"Riddle I swear to the heavens if you open that fish mouth and make me listen to human language coming out of the cursed monstrosity that is you right now, I'm going to fry you and feed you to Grim."

There's a tense silence, Riddle opting to glare the Ramshackle prefect down with the cold dead eyes of his new fish body. He had come to them for help but honestly, he's just feeling so attacked right now.

"Just... don't, don't touch me. I'll come down and we'll get this fixed as soon as possible."

"Thank you, you're help is much ap- PREFECT STOP YOU'RE GOING TO GET IT ALL OVER MY BOOTS! AIM SOMEWHERE ELSE!"
