[ID: A series of greyscale digital drawings of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives, imagined as a siren and a selkie, respectively. With them is their mixed siren/selkie baby, an original character.

In the first drawing, Jon, a siren with a long fish tail and frills along his whole body, lays on his side smiling as he gives Martin belly scratches. Martin, a very pregnant seal, has his eyes closed in contentment and his flippers resting on his round sides.

In the second drawing, Martin, a human man with wet hair, wearing a thick selkie coat, smiles fondly down at a white seal pup cradled to his chest. The pup looks up at him with big, cute eyes.

In the third drawing, a chubby baby lays on a small seal pelt. The baby holds onto one of the pelt’s flippers, and kicks a foot in the air. The baby has white hair, frills like Jon’s, and spots like Martin’s. End ID.]

been revisiting my jmart seafolk au and thinking. yknow what if they had a really cute lil selkie babie 🥺

bit of lore: selkie children are born wearing their coat, which can be removed by a parent. their human form, unlike a normal newborn, is already extra chubby for buoyancy and insulation! both forms have a layer of white fuzz that they shed after a few weeks. This particular baby, being part siren, will be able to breathe underwater once their gills open after a few days. As for other spooky siren abilities… 👀 who knows!

But when it saw them, instead of rising up and blowing fire and smoke, the dragon retreated – you could almost say it waddled – back into the shallows of the bay.

“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.

slightly furious reminder that fish do in fact feel pain and do in fact experience fear and distress when in pain since people seem to love spreading the myth that fish don't feel pain. what is it with people assuming a creature is incapable of feeling pain or emotion just because it doesn't have complex facial muscles. come on gang

it’s not necessarily that I hate the themes most prevalent in fiction set in the real world and it’s not necessarily that I don’t like stories revolving around real people or relationship drama or interpersonal issues it’s more like im a dog who doesn’t recognize that a pill is still a pill if it has peanut butter on it. I need like the little peanut butter spoonful that is aliens or robots or monsters or time travel or something fantastical and not at all down to earth real life so that you can approach me and be like “this story is about how friendships can deteriorate over time and also how this guy feels bad for being a bad friend and causing his buddy problems with their girlfriend” and then look at me making a face at you and be like “AND! they’re all aliens who are doing all that across spacetime” and I’ll be like OHHHHHH OKAY YAY (shlop shlap shlup the sound of a dog horking down peanut butter pills) wow what a poignant story
