Meet Grimghast✨, a shark type leviathan that typically hangs out at Depth Charges 4-6.

She’s usually found lurking about in the lower, darker levels of the remnant sunken cities of the old world when hunting, looming just above barnacle encrusted transmission towers and their drifting wires. It’s nearly impossible to hide from her, with the slightest movement weaving a circulatory web of electromagnetic pulses for her to sense in the darkness from miles away. It’s noted that when she’s nearby muscles will start to spasm and lock up, to a point of paralysis.

There are others like her but she’s the largest recorded, one of the few creatures to wander up far enough from the abyss of Hellmouth for her to be documented.

Based off of the goblin shark ofc but unlike her slow moving, pinker ancestors she’s more of an aggressive hunter and extremely territorial.

estelle's class has an assignment to draw their family, and they take turns showing them off to their parents during back to school night, and estelle stands up at the front of the classroom with the proudest look on her face as she very earnestly points to each person saying "this is my daddy, this is my mommy, and this is my big brother percy who's the coolest person ever and protects me" and everyone's like awww cute but then estelle turns the paper around to show MORE colorful blobs and she starts going:

"this is my big sister beth who tells me stories and who's gonna marry percy, this is my big brother g-man who lets me play in the dirt and makes silly sounds, this is my big sister rissy who scares the monsters away from me and mommy and daddy, this is my big sister zeezee, who has a pretty singing voice and colors with me, and this is my big brother frankie who lets me play with all his pets!"

and sally's filming the entire thing while paul just coos over his daughter, and she shows the video to her kids during sunday dinner, and clarisse is absolutely NOT crying thank you very much, but she hugs estelle a little tighter, and all estelle's big brothers and sisters decide to dote on her so much more, and just estelle being the most loved and protected little girl in the entire world and having an army of big brothers and sisters who will die for her in a heartbeat

"But then I realised that the things that interested me and brought me joy terrified and hurt everyone else."

I always wondered why Durin died in such a relatively good mood but Elynas' words make it make more sense. It's not that Venti's music kinda hypnotised him to make him stop attacking Mondstat; it's that he was just playing the whole time. Unfortunately, his idea of playing terrified and hurt the populace.

It's also interesting that Elynas has the potential to be brought back to life despite being an entire literal pile of bones. But it begs the question of what death is, if it is not a true death. What is it that makes his bones and his being remain, when all the small things we kill turn to dust? Why does Durin's heart still beat? Is Durin the mountain, now? Is the reason Dragonspine is so dangerous that, even now, he does not understand his own strength?

Percy Jackson season two needs a Taika Waititi cameo during the Circle scene!!!

Image description: Text from the Sea of Monsters that says "Annabeth gasped. I recognize you! Edward Teach, son of Ares?" Edward Teach is underlined in pencil.

we all know and love the underwater kiss scene in pjo, but there’s another underwater scene that i love but nobody seems to talk about.

do y’all remember in the sea of monsters, when they approach the sirens’ island, annabeth decides she wants to hear the sirens’ song? and then cuts her safety binds when percy’s not looking? think about that: surrounded by razor sharp rock, barbed ware, shipwrecks, and explosives, the daughter of athena goes towards her death seeking wisdom, and the son of poseidon doesn’t hesitate to plunge straight into the sea after her. when he touches her, he sees her dreams and aspirations: her parents, back together; luke, saved from kronos, at her parents’ side; all of them happy in NYC, redesigned by annabeth in gold and marble to be better than any city before it, better than even olympus itself—her loved ones are calling to her, right there, all she has to do is reach the beach—and then the sirens’ song is drowned out by the sea. percy takes them down, down, down, and like their future kiss, he creates a giant bubble to keep annabeth breathing. and when she realizes the song is broken, that all her dreams and aspirations are not within reach—all annabeth can do…is sob. she’s utterly heartbroken—overcome with the knowledge that the hopes of a 13 year old child soldier are just that: a child’s longing for the world to be right after being shown over and over again that it isn’t.

and so percy just holds her against him, giving the girl who never trusts anyone a safe space to cry—surrounded by explosives and shipwrecks at the bottom of a turbulent grey sea.

I like to think that each beast that wasn’t named in the Sea Beast would still be referred based on their colors. Like Red and Blue.

This beast would be called Green.

The little ones behind them could all be called Yellow. Maybe with different labels to differentiate each of them.

And this one is called Purple.

ah. so elynas and durin really are siblings huh

Two new guys! An incredibly nice woman from the UK helped me obtain the sea monster since Build a Bear doesn't do international shipping 🙃 Couldn't find the 30th Anniversary Beanies either, but eventually found some through a German ebay seller! I only got Bongo because they were like double the retail price 😤

Pirate Wriothesley and Childe who are rivals out at sea with mermaid Diluc who they're both trying to capture,,,

Diluc saved both of them at seperate points. Wriothesley fell in sea and Diluc thought it was cruel for a human to die for no reason.

But with Childe imagine he isnt fully human 👀 so when he falls and Diluc is apprehensive about it all but helps since he's hurt. Now they're both trying to see him again while fighting with each other

Some other ideas for this

-Wriothesley and Childes rivalry comes from the fatui attacking Wriothesley's ship all the time. He tries to stop it and meets Childe who challenges him. And it kick starts their whole rivalry

- Diluc likes to watch the ships pass so it's only by chance he saved Wriothesley and Childe. But he got really intrigued by them and started to check up from time to time in the shadows.

- Diluc finds it really amusing how these two humans are looking for him and purposely does things to throw them off. But at some point both of them see the tail and know it's him

First kiss

- Diluc's first kiss with Wriothesley was to make sure he didn't drown. He used his own powers to try and save him. Wriothesley only remembers seeing red hair and a tail after he woke up and feeling a little dazed, but he was determined to find Diluc again.

- With Childe, he was only semi conscious when he was in water. Diluc does the same but since Childe isn't fully human it wasn't needed and Diluc gets really embarrassed when Childe wakes up and teases him. The only reason Diluc didn't run away was because he still wanted to save Childe.

- Wriothesley and Childe made out once when tension was really high between them. They don't talk about it

Fic Prompts: Meddling Mar Monday

(From a bit later in the story)

The waters surrounding the coastal desert were cool and green, and so undisturbed within the cove that beyond the breakers everything took on a breathtaking clarity. Colorful fish darted back and forth after food, while poisonous eels floated serenely in place beneath the dock, enjoying the shade. Deeper down, the light that filtered through the waves colored the world a watery blue, disguising brighter colors.

Jak kicked his feet and spiraled down to the edge of a slightly sickly coral reef. It seemed to span the entire mouth of the cove, turning it into more of a lagoon. Just beyond, the depth dropped sharply. Jak stared down into an abrupt expanse of dark water and couldn't shake the feeling that something was staring back. He would have expected that to frighten him, or at least unsettle him. But somehow, Jak wasn't afraid. He swam backwards a foot or so, and eagerly scanned the depths for a glimpse of larger animals. He knew he'd seen something from Damas’s tower. Was it watching him now? Was it bigger than even the various species of Lurker Sharks?

Jak had glimpsed the Colossal Shark Brutter kept at the fish cannery once. He'd been overwhelmed by the sheer size of the fish. The idea that creatures so powerful and vast still swam in their waters in spite of everything was really sort of humbling. Brutter kept it in captivity simply because he could think of no way to safely release it without mass casualties. Jak wasn't even sure how he'd caught the thing in the first place.

An orange jellyfish drifted along behind Jak, and its tentacles briefly grazed his shoulder. A jolt of pain, not unlike electricity, shot down his arm. Annoyed, Jak shook the limb out, sending the oblivious jelly tumbling away. Well, they couldn't all be harmless, he supposed. Shrugging off the pain as he always did, Jak made a leisurely climb to the surface to suck in another lungful of air, then dove below again to immerse himself in the jewel colored world beneath the water. A glint of metal caught his eye, yards away, and he grinned. There we go.

When he was a kid in Sandover, there were always orbs washing up on the shore from sunken Precursor cities and research stations. Surely, the Wastelanders couldn't have found all of them.

While nowhere near the tens of orbs he and Daxter used to scoop out of the shallows, the orb Jak found encrusted with barnacles was worth perhaps thrice as much as it had been when he was Mar’s age. Satisfaction filled his chest as he examined the sand-scoured weight. This would at least give them a start on buying enough food and water to last the week. Jak carefully slid the orb into the pouch he'd made out of his scarf, taking care not to damage the two small conch shells and three cone shells he'd already picked up. An orb wouldn't do him much good if it smashed his rent payment, now would it.

Though he was reluctant to leave the lagoon, Jak knew his supply of air was finite. In his dark form, he could've stayed under for far longer. But he was not ready to let these people know about that part of his life. Even if the ocean did seem like a safe place to release dark eco buildup.

When Jak waded out of the surf, his fingers were wrinkled and his hair was a mess, but he couldn't have cared less. It was as if months of tension had uncoiled and drifted away in the lagoon, leaving him lighter for it. Humming cheerfully, Jak wrung seawater out of his tunic and bent down to pick up his boots. A glance upward made him pause.

Mar was still with the six kids who had been playing with catapults on the shore, but now they were all clustered together, staring at him.

"What?" Jak asked self-consciously. His mood was beginning to deflate.

The oldest child there, roughly twelve or thirteen, pointed at the water.

"You went to the edge of the reef!"

Confused, Jak looked to the one-armed teacher for explanation. She looked as startled as her charges, but also a little impressed.

"You've got guts, I'll give you that," she said after a second, "But then, Seek here says you're new to Spargus, so I guess no one told you about the reef."

Jak laced up his boots and stood, brushing off sand. "Oh. Well, I didn't touch it, if that's what you're worried about. It doesn't look that healthy."

The teacher -- Korah, Daxter would later tell him -- grimaced.

"Yeah, that's our fault. Last generation didn't understand the damage yellow eco residue can do to coral. Took a couple years to pinpoint the shells ejected from the turret as the problem."

She shrugged.

"It's healing at its own pace. But that's not what the kids are concerned about. They thought you were going to go over the reef."

Jak actually laughed, surprising himself.

"Into dark water before I've had a chance to get a headlamp? Right. I'd want to be able to see what's down there."

A boy about Mar's age grimaced comically. "That's not allowed! You'll get eaten!"

"No I won't."

"Yeah you will!"

Jak boldly tousled the kid’s already messy black hair.

"I'm not afraid of sharks."

Korah cleared her throat.

"It's not sharks you have to watch for."

She pointed out towards the small island Jak had spotted past the reef. "That's Mother and Child Island. We don't swim there, and we don't take motorized boats there. The sounds attract the Scylla."

Daxter left off playing some kind of marble game with a little girl and cringed. "Uh...you mean the beastie on the edge of old maps? The "here there be monsters" Scylla?"

"I thought those were made up!" Jak looked just a little too eager.

"Nope." Korah shook her shaved head. "She's real, alright. Don't know how many of her kind there are out there, but she likes this coast for the smaller squid that hang around, and the occasional swimmer."

Daxter's fur puffed out. "Jak, if you try to take me past that reef, I'm gonna unionize."

Jak shaded his eyes and stared at the water as if he could see the colossal squid.

"So has anybody fought her or chased her off before?"

Korah's tone turned sharp. "Don't even think about it, newbie. Not only is that a fool's errand, it would unbalance the ecosystem."

Another one of the two older kids nodded. "The Scylla eats the squid and smaller sharks so they don't come bother us. If there's no Scylla, something bigger will move in."

Intrigued, Mar asked, "Bigger like what?"

The girl bent slightly to look him in the eye. "Ever seen the Colossal Blue shark?"

"No," answered Mar, and at the same time Jak and Daxter answered, "Yes!" With wildly different levels of enthusiasm.

"Yeah." The girl tossed auburn hair over her shoulder and straightened. "The Scylla keeps the Colossal Blues out of the area. Teacher says we give her her space, and she gives us ours as long as we don't swim past the reef."

Reluctantly, Jak agreed that the rule made sense in context. But now he really wanted to see the giant scylla.
