Chapter three is finished and so is the main story!

In which Fontaine stresses the fuck out and Hammerhead makes things worse. But things do get better.

Today was super productive! I'm gonna wait til people have gotten back to me about the draft before I post it but it should be up soon!

#sea change #me earlier this week: You guys are gonna have to accept a shorter chapter if you want it sooner #the 'shorter' chapter:#it's over 400 words longer than the previous chapter lmao #and that one was 200 words longer than the first chapter

an Attempt is being made at writing chapter 3 of Sea Change rn. It'll probably still be a while til it's in publishable shape though.

dark-orca-dynasty

just 991 words to go til I hit acceptable minimum chapter length

dark-orca-dynasty

words go brrr

...So I may actually end up posting this over the weekend!

#still have a few loose ends to wrap up for this chapter and I'm gonna try and not be too repetitive in Finn's chapter

Chapter 3 is going quicker than I thought it would, and let me preface it by saying Finn is fine. He's a little stupid because he's sixteen and socially stunted but he's fine.

#I just gotta hope it doesn't feel bloated at that point #and I still gotta get Finn's POV chapter written #I'm too lazy to explain exactly what happened. and also I can't picture it without it being a crossover.#so it will be Open to Interpretation #this is all very vague so as to avoid spoiling things #Maybe Jess Gorman's dad did it #what did he do? you'll find out in the author's notes of chapter 4. the Finn chapter.

#Also would people be okay with a chapter half the length if it means they get it quicker?#I might be able to make this one a little longer but idk if it's gonna reach quite the length the previous ones did. it still might.#depending on how much I can build off of the last two chunks and still have it work well.

#I read Firebreather and accidentally wrote 1000 words of concept for a crossover between that and the lullah/the deep thing I already had #and then I was like well. clearly I have writing mojo again. time to reroute it to something I've already started.

I have one and a half books left in the audiobook series I've been listening to as background noise for crafting and once that's done I'll cycle back into listening to The Deep and hopefully get back to chapter 3 of Sea Change.

I've finished the books and now just have to figure out how to get the show over to my computer.

Just a couple of sketches

🦪 The life of the mollusca London, Methuen & Co., 1913. Original source Image description: Historical black-and-white scientific illustration titled “The life of the mollusca” from 1913, showcasing detailed depictions of various mollusks and their anatomical parts. The image features multiple numbered drawings, including whole squids with distinct tentacles and large eyes, various shell shapes including conical and spiraled forms, and isolated squid arms and beak structures. Each specimen is finely detailed with line shading to emphasize texture, structure, and form, highlighting anatomical diversity within the mollusk class. The plate is labeled “PLATE XXV” in the upper right corner.

I've been thinking about the mermaid art I did a few years back and thinking about what everyone's special power would be and what are just baseline mermaid things.

Will, a former olympic swimmer, is basically an underwater speedster. Kaiko and Ant can both understand animals, and Fontaine I think I will give illusions through song.

Bonus round - Maddie can detect treasure, and Alpheus has attention manipulation/very mild brainwashing.

#self reblogging with tags so they show up in the notes #I think I gave everyone slightly different powers back then but I have had time to let the AU marinate #made a mermaid AU for a different fandom and thought about their powers #and recycled two. Kaiko and Ant's power I came up with the specifics of for Lullah's dad - it also extends to humans #their understanding is basically more intentions and concepts than actual language - handy when it comes to picking out liars #when it comes to languages they know that is. sometimes comes in handy for people who speak in other languages.#but sometimes they just get the vibe of 'they're trying to help us and it has something to do with that location'#is it that the location is where they need to be? or is the location somewhere they should avoid?#also does not translate to written language.#Alpheus's power is something I came up with for Lullah. it goes from 'don't notice me' to 'pay attention to only me'#the 'pay attention only to me' bit is where the mild brain washing comes in.#paying attention to what he says to the point of ignoring what you already know.#it does however wear off as soon as he's not there to be paying attention to.#also sidenote - kaiko and ant's animal understanding is the perfect counter to the brainwashing (but not the attention manipulation itself)#its just that what hes saying has an undecurrent of 'im decieving you'.
