eepy kitty hkvthm from my lion Kaveh / snow leopard Alhaitham fic
silly little art based off @amity206 ‘s fic comfort in absurdity
^_^
they’re just so eepy. honk mimimimimi shoo
tumblr absolutely ruining the quality as always
HOWTHEFUCKDOYOUDRAWAPILLOWWWWWWAAAAA😞
sorry I forgot tumblr existed. have an updated merfolk Kaveh. He fancy now
we’re ignoring that I’m attempting to rewrite the entire fic for that AU shhh
yeah this is a haikavetham art blog now. have wingfic art because I wanted to draw a scene from this fic of mine (over 9k words of self indulgent wingfic fluff)
reading with the aranara… they are cozy…
(based on a scene from a fic I wrote - link and content warnings below the cut)
some hkvthm art for the merfolk AU fic + a Dori cameo, and a bonus thing I drew for a wingfic I wrote
sorry I’ve been forgetting tumblr exists kind of
i'm going to be posting my backlog of art i did to illustrate my mer AU fanfic soon. but i think it's very funny that i've been accomplishing my goal of getting people interested in marine biology through the power of video game yaoi. you all have fallen directly into my schemes
okay I have no idea if my other ask actually sent cuz Tumblr was being buggy but I LOVE YOUR AU everything about it. its gives me a reason to research fish and I love all their designs. THEYRE ALSO REALLY IN CHARACTER which I love to see because I'm pretty picky about fanfic in this aspect, I realllyyy enjoy the slowburn cuz its really hard to find a slowburn kavetham fic for some reason. Anyway I was thinking earlier about the sharks in the fic I LOVEE THE DOG PARALLELS but I do think itd be really cool if there was shark mers I cant think of a sumeru character that would be a mer but i think Itto would be a thresher shark mer because they looks stupid and slap things to death. I WANNA DRAW TEHM SOOOO BADDDD BUT THEY would be hell to render but this fic might break me outta my art block cuz I Wanna draw the fish sooooo badd
yes i did get your first ask!! i just have no executive function skills whatsoever and so am only getting around to answering it now. screenshotted the first ask so i can mention things from both without it being confusing. heads up this is gonna be LONG
first of all THANK YOU AAAAAA!!!! I've had so much fun writing this AU because i get to combine two things I really like (haikavetham and marine biology) into one. you should ABSOLUTELY research fish because fish are really cool. if you want some marine bio / fish books that will spark your interest in fish more i recommend:
The Shark That Walks on Land ...and other strange but true tales of mysterious sea creatures by Michael Bright
The Extreme Life of the Sea by Stephen R. Palumbi and Anthony R. Palumbi
The Brilliant Abyss by Helen Scales
And if you want fish facts mixed with memoirs...
How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures by Sabrina Imbler
Below the Edge of Darkness by Edith Widder, Ph.D. (currently reading this one, it's about bioluminescence in the deep sea)
Below the Edge of Darkness is the only one here I haven't finished reading, and I've cited both The Extreme Life of the Sea and The Brilliant Abyss in a nine-page research essay I did on the deep sea that occasionally I will sneak snippets of into the chapter notes of this fic. So these are books with the Amity stamp of approval. Okay anyway moving on.
i'm glad you enjoy the slowburn lol it's coming very naturally to me because it's very easy for me to write something other than romance (i'm aro-spec and have no idea what romantic attraction is but i figure its just queerplatonic yearing but with a desire to kiss and butterflies? idk). the only other kavetham slowburn i've read is Changes of State by GoWingOvaBoard which I have not finished because i keep forgetting it exists and it's long. it is REALLY good though, the characterization so far is excellent. i just have ADHD. there is smut in later chapters but i have been told it's pretty mild despite the E rating.
YIPPEE that they're in character i worry about that. i have a document with characterization notes i am building and refer to frequently. it's nearly 2k words at the moment. i am likewise very picky about characterization both when i read and when i write.
i've already planned out the different kinds of mer so there isn't specifically a shark mer (they're based on habitat primarily, taking inspiration from fish species adapted to those ocean zones), I DID go for a sort of shark vibe with Dehya's AU design, though. and Alhaitham's AU design does take partial inspiration from deepwater sharks along with the other deep-sea fish he's based off of. that said i do love the idea of thresher shark Itto.
i spent a while designing each type of mer!! i took that part of the worldbuilding from an older worldbuilding project of mine, tweaking parts to better suit the AU. one day i'll have something explaining all the different kinds of merfolk. i'll continue to sneakily drop my worldbuilding lore in the fic and chapter notes for now though
as for the regular sharks - i thought it would be really fun if they were like dogs. given many of them would have co-existed around merfolk for centuries they could have ended up like wolves and become partially domesticated. merfolk also hunt with trained sharks! like hunting/tracking dogs (fits especially well given sharks tend to have a great sense of smell)
if you draw the fish please tag me omg, i would love to see. i would make the yippee sound effect. and once again i am so so happy you like this fic!!! i write my silly things in the hopes that other people will go "oh i like this silly thing too" so i get very happy when other people do like my fics. i'll try not to go bald lol.
anyway thank you for lovely inbox messages!!! i have no idea what to say here now so i'll just default to my usual. Amity out. fish emoji
@amity206
HELLO!! IT IS I

Healing and Medicine in Sky
One thing I've been trying to figure out for a long time is what kind of system of medicine and healing did they have in the past sky kingdom? There isn't a lot to go off of but there are some things we can look at.
First off, it seems they had two different ways of dealing with injuries/illnesses: regular physical medicine--things like medicinal tea and bandages and crutches and stuff--and magical healing using light. First lets look at regular medicine:
this is from last year in august but i finally got around to coloring it!!!! evil artstyle jumpscare but I'm too lazy to redraw everything.
also as a quick thing i did not address in the comic — damaged lifelights run the risk of being unable to produce honks
honking with a damaged lifelight may result in shrills rather than honks, akin to a wheeze. in some cases it's painful, in other cases it's not. in meteorite's case, while honking itself isn't painful, he is embarrassed by the shrill he creates and thus accustomed himself to simply not honk at all.
that is all. thank you for reading!
Sky fit check. Skyblr how are we feeling about this one
I drew my new fav sky fit- aaaand I have decided to make it canon that it was Delta's past self and named her Lamda >:)
+ speedpaint below cut (might be too fast for some of you sooo flash warning I think?)
tiny fish hkvthm (from my merfolk au for them) emojis I made for a discord server im in
I love how u draw ayin they're so dilfpilled bearmaxxing (idk what im saying)
I know what ur saying this mf is HUGE!!!!!!!
Hello! I hope this isn't too much of a bother to ask. I only recently found your sky lore theories and other similar blog posts on the wiki and it's been a really fun and immersive read!
That said, and though you did say in one of your posts to feel free to do so, I still wanted to check with you if it'd be alright for me to take inspiration from some aspects of your lore posts for a fic I wanted to write (trying to look up lore about sky was actually how I found your blog posts in the first place)
Thank you for your time!
oh yeah, absolutely!!
The tinies for the haikavetham mer AU, I love drawing them in this style. Side note I know Kaveh is technically the slightly taller one as a human but having him be a long noodle fish was funny to me
