New idea! Sci fi alien species that is basically space mermaids and when they interact with humans they have tanks on wheels, or humans wear diving suits to meet them.
And then sometimes a crazy human will go free diving with them for fun

tired of gritty this and realism that i practice what i like to call "aggressive whimsicality" it's where i write a book where space is an ocean of liquid oxygen with giant whales swimming around in it and the stars are actually giant pearls sewn into the literal fabric of reality by space mermaids and nobody is allowed to question it
#mothspeak#that's a threat btw#things you're not allowed to question: space whales#space mermaids#the atmospheric squid#the fish that phase through walls

theory- Mermaids can defy gravity.
That's it. They can defy gravity and fly? Swim? Drift off into space? Idk, just mermaids. In space. They can float, they just choose not to.

Please tell me someone on here read the Larklight trilogy growing up! I feel like whenever I mention it to people, no one seems to have come across it, so then I have to start explaining like "...well, it's set in the Victorian era, but in space. And there are hyperintelligent albino spiders, badass blue lizard people who ride moths and have a matriarchal society, a race of pandimensional women who can switch from one body to another and are responsible for making galaxies, Uranus is inhabited by mermaid people, there's a disease that causes people in a Martian colony to turn into trees, a Christmas pudding parasite, and the main character's father is an extremely clueless and attractive ichthyologist who studies space fish and writes obscure books on them. Also a motley crew of extremely moralistic pirates fly around space on their pirate ship after having escaped from being studied by the Royal Xenological Institute."
And I think it's really a shame, because this was such a formative part of my childhood/young-adulthood and it was my first introduction to steampunk, which I quickly became obsessed with. They are hilarious and also the illustrations are gorgeous

1998 Birmingham - Number 18 - Ana Isabel - "O encanto da sereia"
youtube
Ana Isabel wants to be a siren. She wants to sing a song to hold her lover fast and loyal. But she isn't and worries that there are other sirens out there with better songs and voices. She finished 4th of the 8 songs in Festival da Canção 1998, so she may have been right.
Before all of that I've got to clear up who Ana Isabel is as there is disagreement among the sources. There are two Ana Isabel's in Portugal's circles of fame and celebrity circa 1995-1998. There's Ana Isabel, model, who Portuguese Wikipedia links to regarding both this entry and Ana's previous entry in 1995. Then there's Ana Isabel Baptista who YouTube credits as the singer - and who Portuguese Wikipedia (and Discogs) acknowledges was the singer in 1995 on her own page. Eurovisionworld isn't helping here as it just credits 'Ana Isabel'.
I'm siding with Ana Isabel Baptista as she is a singer and looks to have definitely entered the Festival da Canção 1995. It's possible this is two different Ana Isabels. It's also possible Ana Isabel model is also Ana Isabel Baptista singer and has two separate Wikipedia pages.
Enough about Ana's identity, the song! O encanto da sereia (The Mermaid's Charm). A rock guitar stung intro leads into a percussive and offbeat track with Ana's deep voice leading the instrumentation in a jagged dance. Her styling has a bit of sci-fi, Matrix flavour. A space-mermaid, armoured but yearning, battling other space-mermaids with her voice. Then the traditional pipe solo comes out of nowhere. There's a manga to be made based on this song.
In 1995, Ana came second, this year fourth, and that was it. The winner of Festival da Canção 1998 was very similar to previous Portuguese Eurovision entries, so this would have been the brave choice.

I had recently gotten really into AI type artwork.
(I used Wonder and Wombo by Dream apps)
I'm not at the skill yet where you can just write the full prompt and get exactly what you want, so I had been using it as a way to create my own stock photos to then create a fuller piece to put together.
There was still a heavy amount of painting over and editing to get this piece. It was a combo of maybe six to eight generated images and I picked elements that I liked, put them together as their own thing.
So I do still get the feeling of this being my own work and not a complete image just handed to me.
Overall it's a really relaxing form of artwork where you don't have to build a painting from the ground up and you get to follow the art flow.

Summary:
Usually Mando didn’t like taking jobs like this, but the prospect of seeing something new was intriguing to say the least.
Usually Mando didn’t like taking jobs like this, but the prospect of seeing something new was intriguing to say the least. He had gotten a message from a ‘friend’ about a new planet under siege by creatures of a new magnitude. Landing on a mostly water planet wasn’t as tricky as he expected as he landed the Razor Crest. He stepped off of his ship and noticed that there were a few Alderaanians waiting for him. Alongside them were a few Calamarians. Din raised his hand catching there attention.
“I heard there was a problem.”
“Yes, we were hoping to make this planet habitable. Even possibly make it so people could live and thrive within these waters and the bits of land there is. However we have encountered a bit of a problem.”
“Problem?” Din asked, he cocked his head a bit. “What sort of problem?”
“There are these creatures, one’s we have not seen the likes of before. They have the upper body of a Twi'lek while their lower halves have fish-like tails. However they have very sharp teeth and a song they sing that starts out ever so beautiful. We were honestly thinking of leaving them around, an attraction almost to the guests of our new world, however… When you listen to their song they lure you in as if seducing you. They have drowned two of our workers and even worse devoured their remains. We have nothing left of them but a few shreds of clothing. They are intelligent, and seem to even be waiting us out. We want them dead.”
“Do you know how many there are? They sound native. I do not know if I have the ability to take out a native species. Especially if most of this planet, from what I can tell, is water.”
“We will pay you well.”
“Do you have a ship?” Din asked, no ship no dice.
One of the Calamarian’s smiled. “We do indeed have a D-11 water speeder.”
“That may do, I just don’t know if the job is right. So before I take the job, I am going to go look. See if I can find a nest or a home space. This is after all likely their planet.”
“We hope this will suit you.” They all bowed their heads and stepped aside, one man led Din towards the speeder. Din climbed in, closing the hatch behind him. As he submerged into the water brilliant colors seemed to explode in his sight. Small aquatic creatures swam by as he sped downward, he was looking for anything that may seem suspicious but he honestly couldn’t see anything strange. While he glided through the water he came across an underwater city, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Nope, not my place. This isn’t a few dangerous beasts, or a bounty, this is just a species living their life.” As he went to turn his speeder around he let out a yelp as two of these half Twi’leks attacked his speeder.
He held up his hands trying to show he meant no harm to them but they were much stronger than he expected, they pulled the speeder towards the glowing city. He kept his head up, his eyes on the architecture itself. Blooming corals and other aquatic life covered the stone like buildings. The creatures watched him and the speeder as he was paraded towards the largest of the buildings.
Din kept his composer, they couldn’t get into the speeder without a lot of effort. The two held the speeder down as a bigger and much older looking creature emerged. “Bring him to the chamber.” His voice rang out.
Din was surprised he could understand their speech, the speeder was taken inside. Eventually they came upon what looked like a cell. Din was mystified as they reached an underwater cave. Crystals hung down from the ceiling. The two that held the speeder swam upward until they reached a place that had both land and water. Din looked around for a way out but there was no way out but back into the depths of the ocean.
“Come out on your own will and we will not harm you.” The leader ordered. Din nodded, keeping his hands up, he stepped out of the speeder onto the cave floor keeping his hands up where they could see him.
“I mean no harm, my intentions were only to see what your species looked like, and to ensure that I would not take the job I was given.” Din bowed his head slightly.
“Remove your helmet.” The leader ordered, he was old and haggard, water dripped from his ‘head tails’. His skin was a deep blue, scars lined his right pec and left side of his face.
“I cannot, it is part of my creed. If I remove my helmet, I will be disowned by my people. I could not return, please understand I only came to see. I was asked to take a job, but I wanted to check it out first before I took it.”
The leader looked towards the other two that were present, a smaller orange male and a green female. Their tails were the same color as their skin but much more vibrant.
“What job were you given?” The leader asked, Din nodded in thanks knowing he would get to keep his helmet on.
“The ones who hired me desired for me to take your species out, kill your people.” The female bore her teeth, her eyes darkening in anger. The younger male let out a growl of distaste. The elder held up his hand to silence them. “I told them I would only take the job if I knew you were not the species meant to be on this planet. It is clear from your home that I stumbled upon, clearly you are meant to be here. I can be reasonable. They want to make this planet a getaway for other species, a place for families to come and vacation.”
The leader narrowed his eyes. “That is what they were doing?”
“Yes,” Din nodded. He grimaced as he watched one of them pluck a gorg from the surface and bite down upon it’s head. The wriggling creature dripped in blood while they watched him. “I will not take the job, but they may attempt to hire others to do so.”
“What if I hired you, to kill them. Mark this planet as one not meant to trespass.”
“I could certainly try to do so, but people may come looking for the bodies of those I dispose of. What do you have to offer, you likely don’t pay in credits.”
“These crystals, they are worth much in our land. I assume they will go for just as much in yours.”
“What are they?” Din inquired.
“We use them to buy and sell, I do not know what you two legs would use them for.” He shrugged. “I am sure someone will find them of value somewhere.”
Din didn’t know if he could get anything out of them, but the offer was one he was willing to take. “Could I add something, a bargain.”
“Proceed.”
“I would like to use the speeder to look around, just see what I am protecting. I do not plan to back out I just want to explore without the prospect of being eaten.”
“If you will throw the bodies of those you kill to us, I will allow it, but after the job is done.” The leader retorted. I will give you the crystals after as well.”
Din looked him over, he felt he could trust him. He hoped he could trust him.
“Deal.” He held out his hand, the leader narrowed his eyes at him.
“What are you doing?”
“Shaking your hand.”
“Why?”
“It’s how some people mark a deal as accepted, I assume your people don’t do that.”
“We smack tails.” The female laughed. “Leggers are funny aren’t they.”
Din pulled his hand away, and the leader only nodded in acceptance. Din climbed into the speeder and followed them out of the cave system, careful not to ruin the building as he left. He made his way towards the surface, the same people awaiting him.
“So will you take the job?”
“There are much more than a few of those things down there.” Din retorted, he looked towards the waves and noticed eyes watching him. He could spot a few of their brightly colored heads from his spot on the shore. They were making sure he was going to do the job, he gulped knowing if he screwed up they likely would kill him. “Unfortunately the offer isn’t good enough.”
He reached into his pocket for his blaster, he lifted it up quickly shooting all six before they had time to react. The creatures quickly popped up out of the water in surprise, they genuinely thought he would leave them to deal with it themselves. He dragged each body towards the water and watched in horror as they devoured the bodies within seconds. He also noticed a few small younglings.
He did admit they were kind of adorable, in a terrifying way. He slowly climbed back into the speeder and descended back into the waves. The half fish creatures followed him back towards their home, Din took the time to explore while a handful collected crystals and shells for him to take back. He then heard a few singing and realized their song was very beautiful. He was drawn to stay, but knew he could never be happy with them. He wasn’t of their kind, and he had a life to live and a job to do.
The younglings decorated his speeder with aquatic flowers and seaweed, he only waved them. A few made the motion for him to remove his helmet but he only shook his head to their disappointment.
After hours of exploring he arrived back to the surface and stepped out of the speeder. “You can take the speeder if you want. I have no use for it.” Din stated as the creatures piled the last of the crystals and shells onto the surface.
The leader nodded. “Do as I asked, if others come I will not blame you but I hope you will have done something to prevent it.”
“I’ll do my best.” Din promised, he collected the crystals and shells into his ship and waved goodbye. As he climbed into his ship he watched them sing to a dugar dugar on the shore. The dugar dugar walked itself into the water and was quickly devoured. Din started up the ship and decided never to return to that planet again.

Y'know how Europa is theorized to be able to support life?
Well i just saw a beautiful piece by Ron Miller
My proposal is SPACE MERMAIDS and a whole lot more evolving under this sun from the microbes of pre-giant era
But wait! the giant phase will last 1 billion years before the sun turns into a white dwarf.
A bittersweet setting of a marine civilization in the far flung future that finds out how long til a huge source of heat vanishes, leaving their home even colder than its ever been

Something I've noticed is that no matter what fandom or community we are in—black people will always always have to make a safe space for ourselves. Every single fandom I was in there were always black people being treated badly by white people and nonblacks and everytime we spoke on it we are told that we are either making it up or causing problems/discourse.
Even in the LGBTQ+ community where niggas preach about being sooo accepting we have to make *our own flags and spaces because we get talked over and forgotten so damn much. You look up queer related stuff and white people show up first (try the trans selfie tag or look up androgynous stuff on pinterest.) You look up queer shows and it's only white people with a black side character or a white person x a black person like we can't exist on our own. White queers calling black people cops for being uncomfortable with certain labels.
Even with fictional black characters they get the same treatment. Marina from Splatoon 2 and Hobie Brown from Spiderman both are victims of nonblack people hypersexualizing them and masculinizing them. Xinyan from Genshin Impact is a complete and utter stereotype of black people—being seen as aggressive and mean and a literal theft. Don't get me started on how yall whitewash the fuck outta them. It's either sexualize them, whitewash them or forget about them completely.
For some reason white people are seen as more aesthetically pleasing compared to Black people and when we look up aesthetics we literally have to type in "black person x aesthetic" or afro punk or afro goth despite us being the creators of some of these aesthetics. Same with cosplaying, white peoples cosplays are seen as more "canon" compared to black people or even people who's race is literally the character being cosplayed.
Fanfiction writers constantly cater to white people despite trying to market their stuff as "inclusive" while black people get shitted on for making character x black reader fics and don't you know weird ass white people still read them??
Yall tell us to make our own things instead of "complaining" about it and we do, then we get hit with death threats and hate. We make our black edits and get told that it's "blackwashing" and the artists get called the n word, we make black movies and our actors get death threats. We make our own original black art with our black OC'S and get told that we're being selfish and "racist" for not drawing other people. We literally cannot exist without you people hating on us and unnecessarily critiquing us.
[Note: If you nonblack or white niggas come up here and being like "well acschually op🤓☝🏾" I will actually hurt you. If you ask "why is this in the x tag" I will hurt you as well. You try n derail and make it about a different race I'm hurting you.]
