it's still mermay.

[socksome]

the mermaid meme Life under the sea can be grand! Who doesn't like singing and leading men to their doom and swimming with the dolphins? Mermaids are in tales and legends from all across the world, but you don't have to limit yourself to just being just half fish. There are selkies and other creatures of the sea who sometimes come up on land or who are part human, and lots of myths and situations to explore. So come on and dive in! The water is fine! DIRECTIONS: 1. Comment with your character, series, preferences, etc in the subject. 2. Indicate if you're a mermaid/other creature or a human. 3. Reply to other comments and play a scenario out! 4. Watch out for fishnets! (©)

ambrose sinclair — original (vampire*) — ota

[immortalized]

{ *but instead of vampire, i adore AUing Ambrose as a sirenesque merman leaning into horror elements. a haunting song that lures your character to the water's edge, falling overboard and encountering the unprecedented creature of myth, or capturing one out in the waters unexpectedly, i'm open to just about anything. especially open to historical settings or AU, but also fine with modern day.

info here. ocs, canon characters, LA, and/or drawn are welcome. for questions or plotting, please PM! }

Kuja | Final Fantasy IX | OTA

[fallen_stage]

[As a human, Kuja is a merchant with many sailing vessels, some of which he accompanies on occassion. He's perfectly willing to trade for some deepdive retrieval of other, less fortunate ships.

As a merm, Kuja is a Homeric Siren (see dr emil wilson's translation), offering tantalizing wisdom and terrible knowledge to whoever draws near enough to hear his song. Try not to die!]
