Pulls out the fish laser early this year.

I only half regret giving Jax those patterns. Hate doing them, but they always look so nice when It’s done.

So, this will be my one and only üiece for coldflashweek :’D Wanted to do 7 pieces but not based on the official prompts, but on the coldflash fanart bingo sheet by @wacheypena

Wanted to finish this one Friday, but since then my tablet is not working thanks to the last Windows Update and nor solution is working for me. I tried this one and this and now I don’t have the scroling problem, but still no pressure sensibility. I downloaded every wacom driver I could find and even different versions of photoshop, but nothing worked so far. I even reseted my whole Laptop with no result~

edit: still getting new problems wth oO now my tablet isn’t cooperating with my second screen anymore oO

Because there’s new MerfolkAU, here’s some basic info about it (it’ll grow as it’ll roll). Feel free to add things, as you hc them. But the basics would be, that merfolk are definitely not humans with fish tails - thus, the world structure would be completely different from the surface one. @madamsnark has the hand in worldbuilding. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

General info:

All of merfolk have magic. All of them have few common skills, like luring prey with their voices and can bring surfacers to their doom (most likely to eat them). The turning into the merfolk once drowned is a myth – mer is only born.

Society:

- Highly social, all merfolk live in tight-knitted communities, usually open to newcomers.

- No assigned gender roles, skills are what matters the most.

- Various models of relationships, the young ones are brought up by everyone.

- The tribes do have Elders who are privy to more delicate secrets of other clan's - though the old age is not the main requirement to become the Elder. Elders are guides and the centre of the tribe, but they mostly care about dynamics inside the tribe, and diplomatics with other clans.

Biology:

- Very long lifespan.

- Magic skills, colouring, fins and tails shapes vary, depending on the environment and the species.

- Mating seasons two times a year, in secluded areas.

- The most common to carry the pregnancy (like the sea mammals) is a female mer, though it is known that some species have males giving birth too.

- Often there's one newborn, rarely two. The child is immediately fully capable of swimming itself, staying close to the guardians.

Main dangers for mers:

- Sharks/poisonous fish

- Hunters/fishers

- The deep dwelling creatures of the dark

Fractions: the open waters have three main fractions.

The warm water, close to the surface: a home for tropical mer - sun, clear water loving tribes.

- The species tend to be colorful and likely poisonous.

- The tribes are numerous and are know for their open and friendly nature, with the love for tricks and mischief.

- Can wander to the middle waters, but prefer to stay to the warmer side. In the risk of dying after exposing to the cold for longer time.

The middle waters: the majority, highly adaptive, with a lot of skills variation.

- The only ones, who could live comfortably either near the surface or the depths.

The cold, deep waters: the minority, often the bioluminescent kind.

- Comfortable with darkness and cold.

- Keep mostly to themselves, but do have the occasional emmissary on diplomatic visit to upper waters.

- Become lethargic, blind and sick if exposed to the surface part of waters for too long. Too much warmth kills them.

- Can wander to middle waters, but they prefer not to.

- Known for eating the mers, who stray to their territories.

The Grey Tribe

- Widely known as dangerous and not approachable without consequences. Though the Elders of upper tribes are privy to their role as the gatekeepers, Grey's are feared because of their mystical and unfriendly nature - mostly to keep the too curious mers from wandering too deep and possibly unleash some creature.

- The vicious predators and guardians of the depths. They keep what lurks in the darkness from going to upper waters.

- Their main skillset contains highly developed senses, mainly hearing, smell and touch.

- High endurance, good in lure and tactics.

- The magic tends too boost the strength, speed, healing and locate the prey/danger.

- Their mating seasons are not so often like in the upper waters, but the newborn rates are higher – two or three at once are a norm.

- Because of high death rate, thanks to their role of wardens, the tribe tends to get “volunteers” from the middle waters - as they can adapt to the depths faster, with the help of magic ritual. Not everyone live through the change, though. It's impossible to go back, once in the tribe.’

{More MerfolkAu stuff because @adventurouswind mun requested it.

MerMagus looks like a betta fish which is fitting.

The first one I edited on Photoshop, the second one is unedited and looks yellow because of lighting. I edited because I made his body too short and Bartz looks too orange. The third is unedited close-up. Yeah MerMagus has slate gray/blue skin.

I did the original in ballpoint pen, colored pencil, and well colorless blender works pretty well with some ballpoint pen inks.}

I’m thinking that, if Ripper was going to be a merman, he’d probably be a really aggressive shark breed and he’d likely not only have the fin/tail going on but razor sharp set of chompers.

@smolpocketmonstercoffee mer!Aether x human(elf)!Vergil, modernAU

He sipped from his glass, the wine pleasantly warming him inside. His shirt was opened, few buttons down, tie lying on the sofa, beside his so comfortably splayed body. The lights were dimmed, even the ones at the tank.

But it still gave the eerie glow, water constantly filtered and moving. The inside of the tank was decorated to resemble the natural environment of his pet. Living seaweed, corals, sand, even rocks – attached to the ground, to prevent the inhabitant of using it to damage the walls.

Not that it would be possible, with a few layers of quality tempered glass, but it never hurts to be careful.

Mers tended to be tricky captives.

Very resourceful, very clever.

Hard to break.

But this one, this one seemed to wither away, day by day.

Vergil stared at his late purchase, at the dulled colours of the mer's skin and scales.

The mer tended to swim around listlessly, with blank, sometimes truly sad and resigned look on his beautiful face.

It was this face, with such attractive shapes of emerald eyes, cheekbones and lips, that caught Vergil's interest. Fair, long hair surrounding mer's head, his body graceful and alluring to look at.

Vergil didn't name him and definitely wasn't using the one the mer came with. The restaurant manager, he bought the mer from, had bad sense of humor. He insisted that the mer could sing, like the mers in old stories, but Vergil doubted this specimen was ever in singing mood.

But he seemed to look worse, from the day he had been brought to Vergil's apartament. He refused to eat, and any change of the menu didn't bring much results.

It was a pity, watching him fade away like that.

Vergil grimaced, taking another sip of his wine.

He hated failed transactions.

Still, his eyes took on every movement of the mer, who'd now seemed to gaze at something behind room's windows.

Glittering lights of the night city below, with silence only broken by tank's low hum of water filters.

Vergil got up and stretched a little, leaving an empty wineglass behind. He walked to the windows beside the tank, staring at the city himself.

Maybe he should consider the purchase of another mer.

Pets liked the companionship of others of their kind, no?

He tilted his head to look at the mer, only few layers of the thick glass separating them. Ashen skin and muted colours of his tail and fins.

He hated unsuccessful purchases.

If the mer won't start eating on his own soon, Vergil will be forced to take more serious steps.

He will not let this one perish so easily.
