#merm au

[bones-of-a-rabbit]

switcharoo au Eclipse,, as a merm. yes he's somehow even more wet ouppy coded AND even soggier

he's like 98% water and the other 2% is saved for being the clingiest lil shit on planet earth

he's also mad dumb dw

he's p smart so he figured out what ur rebreather was for pretty early on in ur weird lil friendship so the first time he sees you jump in without it he uh. 'panics' would be putting it lightly

continuation of my merm connor au from last mermay related merm au posts: 1 2 3

sailors always told tales of how merms were man-eating creatures that drowned wayward souls so markus fully expected to be killed and eaten when he finds himself face-to-face with the creature. but then the merm saves his life by dumping him on the nearest island instead? the mysterious creature sticks around and they begin to talk. as the conversation continues, old memories stir in the back of his mind and he realizes that he's met this merm before.

i meant to post a follow-up to my original mermay post but uhm.... never got to it. and now it's been a whole year since so i guess better late than never!

fun facts about this au:

markus was thrown overboard during a storm and was stranded at sea for a day before connor found him

markus is a captain of a pirate ship

his crew is the jericrew ofc and i guess his ship's name is jericho ahaha

he is partially blind in his right eye due to an accident

he sketches in his free time during long voyages

connor's merm design is based off a dwarf gourami

merms are usually hostile towards humans, but connor's a lil different

connor and markus have matching scars at their right temple

they've met before

i'll be making a lore dump post with some sketches and their full back stories HOPEFULLY later this month but i said that last year and it took me a year to circle back to it so uhmmmm fingers crossed

Various members of my DND party as mermaids (+mermen and mer...theys?), and Trast who's just himself (albeit slightly meaner than usual, he was provoked trust me)

Trast (the "human") belongs to @thatartsyleaf, Esma (octopus) belongs to @crispydoodl and Valeraine (WOMAN!!!) belongs to @pennychips. The pink motherfucker belongs to meee :)))
