Damn. Fishman hot. Could we know more about him or his lore?
hi! :D
yeah sure, his name is michael and he’s p much the only guy i am posting abt here
the long and short of it is that hes a himbo that got stuffed with crippling anxiety. overly afraid of hurting people. hinges his self worth on how useful/wanted he is
he’s originally human, who was unwillingly turned into a vampire and then after about a year had an incident that sparked him to figure out how to make himself look like a fishman. hes still pretty young for a vampire. year and a half maybe?
part of it is because he really loves the ocean, and so looking like that makes him happier/more content in himself, part of its in imitation of this cool-ass eldritch fish creature he ended up fucking (the incident in question), and some of its taking back control of his body, in a way. he was murdered, for all intents and purposes. in a place where vampires are recognized and theres supposed to be legal protections about unlawful turning.
he’s struggled (and still does, really) with having his shapeshifting work out of his control, which exemplified the panic he has about being turned against his will. its his first intentional, drastic transformation. (and the gills, which are cosmetic and exposed unlike a real fish’s would be, actually purposefully go over and hide his bite scar)
he has worryingly low regard for himself. but if he looks like something he thinks of fondly (fish, the sea) then its easier to look at himself with kindness and listen when people say they care about him.
he has a lot of complicated feelings about the vampirism. most of them not good. but what i keep coming back to in particular is how his new need for life force, his loneliness, and his pre-existing hypersexuality all crossed wires to result in him mixing his affection with hunger and sexual attraction. its hard for him to distinguish now, which incredibly frustrates him and makes him guilty that he desires to hurt people
except he keeps meeting people who respond to “i want to eat you alive” with “you should do it” and every single time hes baffled and flustered
