Happy day, @naffeclipse !! (right click each for better quality fghgdf) Apex Polarity had me in a choke-hold and ough ;o; the ending was so intense and then so lovingly soft, I knew I wanted to draw it as soon as I was done reading. 3 days after starting it, here we go! It got away from me a bit at the end cause it was just meant to be a sketch comic but heehoo Thank you for such a lovely piece of fanfic!! <3 <3

You ever just read a fic into the wee hours of the morning because you can’t put it down, and then pick it up again the next morning starting from the beginning?
That was what This Fic was like for me. @moonliched captured my soul and put it on a different planet where everything is just a little bit alien and mermaids wanna hold your hand. Their y/n is the perfect amount of existing backstory that has me scrambling to learn more about where they came from and why they act the way they do. And a sentient Bonnie AI? What’s not to love?

Sunny boy is my favourite little creature, I’m so happy he’s going to have more interactions with the protagonist going forward. His intro was so threatening, my heart was in my throat. But it’s all a misunderstandinggggg

sorry to bother you, but….
if statled jelly!niel stings, does sleeping jelly!niel sting? Because it seems to be a conscious effort for niel to not sting? Or did I misunderstand this?
what are the scientific implications of sleepy jelly cuddles?
Great question! Thank you for letting me put on my more beach-appropriate baseball cap and do more mer research hehe
So I asked the shark and he told me to mind my business I think.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately for him, the manta ray will spill just about anything in exchange for pretty human stuff and I am great at taking notes.
Basically? It seems to me like it’s expected touch vs unexpected, combined with the jelly’s maturing self-awareness. When it’s younger, a jelly mer will start getting control of its sting by ‘turning it off’ consciously. As they get older, it can become closer to “will not sting unless actively startled or for good reason” as the jelly chooses! Think of the sting response like a knee-jerk, throwing-elbows response. Anything less startling isn't worth the effort. Or in jellyneil's case, maybe more of a nervous person's flinch response.
So at this age when jellyneil is awake, it generally won’t sting unless really startled - unfortunately for most mers, the poor thing is a little jumpy and most unexpected touches are startling 🥲
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When jellyneil is asleep, there’s more of a “base state” idea happening - however it goes to sleep is how it’ll peacefully stay. So if it falls sleep with someone else touching it, no stings! If it falls sleep in traditional jelly fashion (wedged between rocks or otherwise anchored down) the tentacles and stingers are instinctively in defense mode and I cannot advise getting too close.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If it gets startled awake though? I can only assume it would sting then as well but I can't tell you for sure because the whale and the one shark twin are usually very good about not letting that happen.
There’s some point to be made here about the fact that the stinging is only ‘turned off’ while cuddling/sleeping on other mers - clearly, brushing up against rocks doesn’t desensitize the stingers to other outside stimuli. In open water, the sleeping jelly knows to fend for itself. The presence of another mer seems to be instinctively calming.
But I am not here to wax poetic about it, that’s your job, I just provide the research 🤲

AHA uhhh I had these guys refs in works for over a month and never got around to actually finishing them- so UH
*throws random mer doodles at you instead*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They help me get through art block lmfao
Sun isn't really based on any real kind of fish, I just went with what felt right. His frills behave and look like kelp. I wanted them to kind of flow in the water and for him to emote with them, cuz yes jdnfbc
Uhhh he has secondary eyelids cuz salt water and protection. Haven't really though too deeply abt it ehe
Moon however- oh boi I may have gone overboard with Moon. Took inspiration from leafy seadragons. The weird things on his head? Those are based on the leafy appendages leafy seadragons have around their body. Also wanted him to have a different way of emoting soo they behave like animal ears :> They're not real ears ofc, just for show.
They live close to a coral reef aaand both of them are omnivores. Moon can fall asleep literally anywhere and Sun has to frequently drag his tail back to their shipwreck den so he doesn't float too far away jdnfbf
Aha hhh I'd be here for hours if I were to type out all the info I have on them and I don't have the time for that haha so uhhh
To close it off- some silly old school doodles cuz why not (feat. fyhuif Sun n Moon)

I'm in fish brain rot so deeply. But I don't seek help honestly.

Another mer Eclipse.... @just-a-drawing-bean was trying her hand at designing her mer Eclipse and I got exited because I apparently like to design stuff. So... Let's call it design practice, shall we.
I like the ourple one more as for better colour choices and the silhouette is easier to recognise. However the second option is more Eclipse-like... Idk. Anyway. It was fun.
