[looneyludicrous]

Hehe, @sea-grunks-dating-sim I made a lil’ something :)

So, this little fixation for a grunkle dating game made me create a whole new species with whole new lore and a GF self insert/oc. Fun!

Anyway this right here is Daffy, full name Daffy Dew and they’re a fishfellow! (do not confuse them with mermaids, those two have an extensive rivalry that’s lasted thousands of years)

I’m still contemplating if I should make this character stick to the story of Sailing with Stans or if I should just stick to the general concept for the game but mostly do whatever I please.

I unfortunately couldn’t play the game, BUT I was able to watch a play through of it! :) Though that also means I’m blind in terms of knowledge about chapter 2.

Daffy + fishfellow info below cut!!

Let’s start out simple with Daffy. Daffy Dew is a fishfellow who resembles a clownfish! And staying true to the name, Daffy is quite the comedian and also a big time yapper. She’s very social, even with supposed threats or strangers, and enjoys sharing his interests with others.

Daffy goes by whatever pronouns YOU want to refer to them! That’s why I kept switching it up if you noticed. They’re also neurodivergent, specifically autistic and a dissociative amnesiac. While non-traditional gender identities and neurodivergence isn’t a concept among fishfellow, Daffy is still treated like an outcast because of those things.

Also, Daffy really likes minerals. And by like I actually mean love to the point of combustion! They’re a total rock nerd to the point that he could ramble on and on for hours about specific gem formations, each different type, how to determine hardness and toughness, etc.

—A few other facts—

Daffy is around in her mid to late 30s in human years.

Daffy is adopted and has an older sister, Clover Dew. They are nothing alike and constantly bicker. They still love each other, though.

Daffy is a nickname for her actual name, Daffodil.

Daffy loves collecting little trinkets and is fascinated by manmade contraptions, especially utensils.

Daffy is shamelessly inspired by Dory from Finding Nemo.

Fishfellow Lore Time!!

Fishfellow are rare creatures who live in every inch of the world. They as a whole are distrustful of humans due to bad history with them. The fishfellow’s exact origins are unknown, but they believe that they once roamed as humans who were blessed by a sea god due to their kindness for nature, able to transform their legs into tails and arms into fins, and swim along with ocean life.

They deeply respect their elders and choose their Ruler based on age and wisdom. It’s in fishfellow belief that whitened hair as you age is an outward display of purity and elegance. Fishfellow also age slower than humans, typically living for 200 years, though some fishfellow populations live longer than others.

Fishfellow love shiny objects and sea shells, they frequently give them to each other as gifts! A kindredness for nature is also key part of fishfellow culture, and the disrespect of nature will anger them, which is another reason why they don’t interact with humans.

All fishfellow have a regular fish counterpart, or a “mirror fish” as they call it, and you can see the which family is which thanks to it. They also inherit some of the behavioral and physical aspects from their mirror fish. For example, since Daffy’s mirror fish is a clownfish, they are immune to anemone stings and exhibit territorial behavior regarding things she deems of importance. Like her rock collection.

Interspecies mixing can and does happen, with varying results. The offspring of two different types of fishfellow can either inherit entirely from one parent, have some from one parent but the other’s traits dominate, or it’s a perfect blend of both parents.

Fishfellow are able to change the amount of fishiness in their forms. They can become something human-like, do a half n’ split between fish and human qualities, or become an actual fish.

Daffy Doodle Down Here!!

Daffy takes on this form once they’re more comfortable with the Stan twins (well, except for the clothes obviously, since they’re in the arctic). Here, Daffy’s able to walk around while still embracing her fishfellow heritage!

HEY FELLERS! I am working together with @gfnonfictionzine to bring YOU!!! A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE ZINE THEY WORKED SO HARD ON: Reading Between the Falls!!!

Over 180 pages of content with juicy analyses of the story and characters of Gravity Falls! I've included a couple pages as an example here to show you what you're in for! It's a super cool project and I'm happy to be helping them out!

TONIGHT! MIDNIGHT(EST)! But no need to rush, pre-orders are gonna be open till the end of JUNE! Retail price will be $25 USD + shipping and applicable taxes (boooo)

Lil bit more info under the cut! Stay tuned for the preorder link!

Preorders will be taking place on my website, triclopsrabbit.com, which I found to be the easiest way to handle a project like this with the ability to calculate/remit taxes/duties and stuff, without a bunch of additional merch and 1099K tax forms and other things to worry about. In addition, the zine is already done! It's even available as a free download! Link is at @gfnonfictionzine!

You may remember me as the head mod of the Dimensional Dreams zine, so no worries about production and fulfillment, okay!!! 🫡 All profits of this zine are going specifically towards being able to provide all the contributors with a copy at no cost to them. If we've got leftovers they'll go to a charity to be determined!

Ok thats it, thank you <3

[sea-grunks-dating-sim]

Chapter 2 comes out tomorrow at 12:00 PM (Noon) EST!

He claims to be a siren, but he seems far too harmless in comparison to the myths. It's a mystery for later, but our new friend Arpeggio seems to be staying long enough to find out. -Ford.

Finally drawing my guy for @sea-grunks-dating-sim

I really enjoyed drawing them but DAMN are mermaids hard to draw when you're trying not to give them mammal features! Coloured versions under the cut and it's worth looking because he's very colourful! I based him on a Hawaiian cleaner wrasse!
