I got a curious little question that just spawned on my mind, What if in the scenario where Orca!Eclipse meet's any of the Siren!Reader's- Could be anyone you want. But strangely enough, They don't.. really speak. Or as we'd soon find out, Their voice was stolen. Think Ursula took Ariel's voice situation but a human did it. Considering what William Afton did, I'm sure there's a small portion of humans who also probably did some bad shit to sirens ToT
When greed and violence are thrust upon a poor siren, the results are crippling. The belugas are known for being canaries of the sea, and wouldn't that just be awful to have your lovely, hitch-pitched songs taken from you?
Eclipse would find it strange that this lovely little beluga siren he comes upon isn't singing or vocalization—lacking any vocal reaction to him. And when he gets closer to grab you, he spies the fear in your eyes and your frantic, flopping motions. It doesn't take him long to discover the jagged, marred flesh running across your throat. The scar is pink and thin, and he thinks it's fate that you survive being harmed so deeply. He grazes his claws gently over your neck despite your trembling.
Sign language is a form of communication but it varies from pod to pod as it's so rare to have a siren unable to sing and continue to live. You essentially have to create your own gestures and symbols and help Eclipse learn what you mean without speaking a sound, which is anything but simple. Eclipse, however, is nothing if not determined to establish this communication with you and if you get upset or frustrated, he encourages you to keep trying. He also promises to sing to you so you might never be without a song even if you can't cast one. Some days, you become frozen in your grief and Eclipse holds you, and he grieves with you in the quiet. It's not fair. You had such a beautiful voice. Why did those humans take it from?
Eclipse promises no one will ever hurt you again, and he shows you how you might still hum. It's not the same high-pitched notes you used to hit but it's music and it rumbles through you like songs once did. Eclipse loves to press his face to your chest and listen to the sweet sounds.
Man just thinking about how humans could do horrible shit like that and technically still do that irl to other animals and people is wild to me, Its lovely to see Eclipse forever devoted to the cause of love for Y/n
