Shen Yuan & Hatsune Miku on the Beast Peak

Long time no see and I return with fanart of my absolute favourite Scum Villain fic, Feed the Beasts by @maximum-rat!

I am CLIMBING THE WALLS while waiting for the next chapter and I'm also constantly re-reading it like a bed-time story... [pines quietly for buff Shen Yuan and delicious world-building]

Mermay 10 - Sunrise Lovers 🌞💛

Merfolk have 2 forms, one more aquatic and one that allows them to spend some time on land. Their thighs stay covered in scales and their genitals aren't visible in either form. It can get very uncomfortable though if the scales dry too much, so they avoid spending too much time without a large body of water nearby. An old tale says that if you get a scale from a merperson as a gift, you will have good luck for the rest of your life, and so they're popular betrothal gifts between mer & human couples.

Η εβδομάδα που μόλις τελείωσε ήταν η εβδομάδα ορατότητας για την ασεξουαλικότητα! Περνάω αρκετό μέρος του χρόνου αόρατη, φέτος περισσότερο από ποτέ. Είναι από επιλογή, γιατί τα σόσιαλ έχουν γίνει ένα παγκόσμιο δικαστήριο και πανηγύρι, με αγχώνουν και με τρομάζουν. Αλλά κάτι τέτοιες μέρες θυμάμαι όταν ήμουν εγώ 20, τρομοκρατημένη και αβέβαιη, και πήρα πολύ κουράγιο από άλλους ασέξουαλ ανθρώπους που ήταν συνειδητά ορατοί αυτές τις μέρες. Μια κυρία φέτος στο pride είδε την τεράστια σημαία μου και μου είπε "αχ τι ωραία, δεν ήμουν η μόνη σε όλη την παρέλαση!". Είμαι λοιπόν ορατή ξανά για λίγο, όχι για να πάρω κουράγιο αυτή τη φορά αλλά για να δώσω! Είμαστε πολλά εκεί έξω και κανένα δεν είναι μόνο! Και τώρα πάω να φροντίσω το πονεμένο μου μάτι 🖤🩶🤍💜

The week that just ended was the Asexuality Awareness week! I spend a lot of time being invisible, this year more than ever. It's mostly by choice, because social media are becoming a global court and circus, they scare me and stress me out. But it's days like this that remind me of being 20 and terrified and undecided, and how ace people who were visible really gave me courage. At last June's Pride, a lady saw my giant flag and came up to me to say "oh, nice, I'm not the only one in the whole parade!". So, here I am today, not to get support but to give it! We are many, none of us is truly alone! And now, it's time to take care of my wonky eye again 🖤🩶🤍💜

Merjuly 07 - Capital 🎆 The jewel of the seven seas is a giant city of many suburbs and the blue palace of the Queens in the middle, inside the most beautiful botanical gardens. The suburbs are organized by guild and they are surrounded by seaweed crops and coral reefs. As it's the central hub of all merfolk trade and where most governmental bodies are, its population is estimated in the millions. Its location is top secret, never shown on any maps and merfolk can locate it like whales do, following the memories of their ancestors in a long-forgotten journey…

Mermay 15 (end) - Wedding Fitting 💍 Kou comes from the seas near the Gulf of Thailand and his people's traditions require lots of floating pale color fabrics for the groom, delicate like sea foam. He came to the Capital's famous Weaver's district for the most luxurious seaweed silks. Who is he getting married to though..? 👀

Mermay 14 - Shedding Scales 🐠 Merfolk shed their scales once a year and it is an intimate affair. Their tails are highly sensitive and tail care is usuallydone between lovers, spouses or between parent & child. Neleus is famously unattached so he goes somewhere quiet to take care of things!
