omg I love your betta Glen design! As someone who loves bettas and has owned a few, im always very intrigued by people's betta-inspired mermay art. One idea i thought you might enjoy as a possible hurt/comfort scenario is the matter of fin length. Longer finned bettas tend to have less energy and be more sedate simply because the fins are too huge and heavy to carry. (Example, one of my betta's fins grew so huge he started trying to bite them off. From then on I switched exclusively to shorter finned bettas, which are healthier and more energetic.) Anyway, I just figured its an underutilized scenario of Glen having to adjust to the physical exhaustion that comes with such a form, and maybe Aedes cups him in his hand to give him a bit of relief. Idk, either way I love your art!
i was already planning on putting jewelry on him but ur extra info made it even TASTIER angst anon!! thank u <3
