- mermaids who look cute and innocent but are actually incredibly dangerous and horrifying
- a lake/body of water that actually has a terrible, gigantic monster living underneath it
- a creature that mimics a lake/body of water to trap people
- a lake/body of water with mermaids at the surface that are cute and innocent, and mermaids down below who are dangerous and horrifying
- and more...
-> etymology: aqua (water) + horror + ic

okay so. I don't actually know that much about video games / everything I remember is from tumblr osmosis but it has been driving me crazy that between
the layout of the submersible is literally just a single tube
it has one window on one end of the tube and a computer screen with imaging on the other??? I think???
the people inside were bolted in on the surface. there is no hatch. the only way out is getting the thing back to the surface and undoing the bolts
it is steered by a fucking x-box controller
is. is this not just literally the setup of iron lung. did these people not pay $250k apiece to. to literally be in the iron lung submersible. why do I not see anyone else freaking out about this.

Thinking about what the layers of hell would be in a mer au. Rambling and what they are under the cut.
Limbo: Just an aquarium. In this au V1 was made as an anti watercraft machine, and post-war V2 was to help with aquatic jobs n such. The aquarium is a pool for them to calibrate.
Lust: Coral reef. Though I think underwater ruins might actually fit better. My first thought was coral reefs because colorful like Lust.
Gluttony: Dead zone. I couldn't find a beast big enough for V1 and Gabe to brawl in the corpse of so I figured that the oxygen-poor dead animal biome fit well enough. Also Gabriel seems stubborn enough to fight V1 in an area that's deadly to him to prove a point.
Greed: Just underwater dunes or open ocean. Maybe there's a wrecked ship or crashed plane or something too.
Wrath: Brine pools! They look like underwater lakes/rivers/etc so I thought it fit perfectly. Also giant siphnophore Ferryman because they're cool as hell and also vaguely look like a giant, glowing, fucked up spine, and I could not for the life of me find a (semi-)translucent fish other than glass catfish. But those are freshwater and they would get so fucked up by the ocean :(
Heresy: Underwater volcano. Because hell. And black and red. And again I think Gabriel would fight V1 in an area more dangerous to him than it to prove a point.

"Should we tell what people are actually seeing whenever they see some massive squiggly thing sticking out of the water when out in the ocean?"
"Spare them their sanity, Rashid. Let them believe it's an 'arm' or 'tentacle' and not.... a whale turning upside down and sticking out a different kind of appendage."

Courageous, our tiger faces.
[ID: A digital painting of two dolichorhynchops siblings. The background is dark, as it is presumably night. The moonβs light beams through the oceanβs surface, casting rays of light on the two. The female, on the top, is a dark gray with a lighter underbelly and a light spot behind her eye. Her back left fin is scarred, a sharkβs tooth embedded into it. She is looking at her brother, who is swimming below her. The male has a considerably lighter coloration, with a nearly white underbelly. They both have green eyes. Although their faces seem neutral, their open mouths and position make it seem as if they are playing whilst swimming. End ID]
