#size shifter merperson
Text
Tiny mer that, giant mer this. Where’s my size shifter mers?
The mermaid who gets caught in a net and after the captain starts being all proud and everything and the mermaid just shrinks and slips through the net’s holes, much to the captain’s disappointment.
A merman who grows big enough for all the other mers to cling on as the group travels. Perhaps he also grows to distract predators or fight off threats to his non-shifter mer friends.
What about the classic trope of someone finding a merperson on the shore and taking them back to their beach house / lighthouse, putting them in their Tub. Maybe the merperson is unconscious for a bit but the lighthouse keeper comes to check on them and notices that they’re gone. Panicking they check around but the floor isn’t wet, then they see a small movement from the bath. Hiding behind a rubber duck is the merperson all tiny, not knowing what else to do but hide. Perhaps the keeper calms them down and calms them down, allowing the mer to grow to the size the keeper originally saw. Perhaps the keeper helps them heal and let’s them go after making a beautiful friendship only to one day meet the merperson again, but this time the roles are reversed. The keeper is saved by the merperson, and having been put on an unknown island. The keeper has no clue how they are gonna make it back but thinks the merperson can help them, the mer nods and grows bigger to make the journey faster, much to the keepers surprise.
Long story short, giant mers and tiny meds are great, but give me the shifters!

guy i had the coolest gt dream there was like a whole plotline
It was in a world where magic had weakened and majorly started to die out so the general population didnt know about it anymore but then it started coming back and all these old magic beings started waking up/returning
And there was like a main villain who was ancient but had been asleep for centuries called the elemental queen and she’d thrown everything out of balance when magic still existed by starting a dictatorship were she could control everything
So i guess historically there’d been multiple magical rulers who weren’t really rulers but kind of like caretakers of various magical divisions like the oceans or volcanoes and it was kind of analogous to dieties and she’d been like the high caretaker but tried to take all the power for herself and sent various beings like sea serpents into an eternal slumber like the one she’d been in
Also she was a ✨giant✨
But the gt vibes didnt stop there bc these beings called titans had also existed previously and they were magic adjacent and size shifters but when magic disappeared they were stuck in a human sized form for the most part and forgot what they rlly were over the centuries that followed
So in the dream weird stuff started happening around the world as magic started returning and we kept seeing news story about like sea serpents and unicorns and shit being seen with more frequency and everyone was debating whether it was all a hoax or not. and then i got kidnapped by this serial killer and tried to escape and fell into this cave full of crystals and the serial killer followed me. And then this magic elephant like being showed up and ended up killing the serial killer and letting me go and then i was trying to figure out wtf was going on so i started investigating and following one of the government agents who showed up after the prior incident except i was a shit spy so i was immediately found out but somehow got recruited as a geologist (idk dream logic).
At the same time i met this other girl, A (bc i dont remember her name), online who also liked g/t and we became friends and then realized we had feelings for each other and it turned out we lived near each other so we met up and she was rlly cute and nice and we started casually dating
So then i got told i had to go on this expedition w/ this team who kind of became found family to this remote mountain so i had to say bye to her for a bit and then on the expedition it was revealed we were trying to find something related to these incidents of ppl spontaneously combusting but it was rlly pyrokinesis related and they had a suspect who was from the remote mountain area and thought there might be like a pyrokinetic cult there. Instead of a cult tho we found the elemental queen who disguised herself as an old human lady at first but then we realized stuff was off and she revealed herself and was trying to kill us and we had to flee through this canyonlands esque area and on the way we found out that she had several descendants who’d also been asleep and were the rightful caretakers of the different magic regions but she had taken the power for herself. One of them was this younger guy named Oliver who had a giant merperson form but also a human form who ended up disobeying her and helping us escape.
So we got back and reported everything and then A showed up and said she’d found out she was actually a titan when i was gone and was freaking out and was like its fine if u dont want to see me anymore and obviously i was like uhh no giant gf? Thats a win for the gays?
And then oliver showed up and was like i ran away from my mom/the elemental queen bc she’s like, really mean. So the found family group was like good on ya, you can stay with us. But then the elemental queen showed up in human form and wanted him to come back bc ig her spell to steal their powers didnt work from afar and her power was weakening specifically over the oceans bc ig he was supposed to be the ocean caretaker. And we were like uh no fuck off, obviously, but then bc the oceans didnt have a caretaker they started getting all out of balance and there were giant storms and floods and stuff so we ended up helping him escape from her and go to reclaim his rightful position as the caretaker but then we would also have to say bye which was sad and he wasn’t sure he even wanted to be caretaker bc he had friends/family for the first time.
Meanwhile A and I were dating but nobody on the team knew she was a titan and they thought titans were evil bc i guess the elemental queen was secretly also a titan.
AND THEN I WOKE UP pre anything getting resolved 🥲

【❰❬ ᴅᴇᴍᴏ ᴛʙᴀ | ʙʟᴏɢ | ᴅɪsᴄᴏʀᴅ ❭❱】
A high fantasy slice-of-life romance, TMP is an interactive fiction tale written in Twine that follows the efforts of the Adventurer as they leave their successful career behind and settle into their early retirement. Who knew running a pawn shop could be so exciting!
【❰❬ ᴘʟᴏᴛ sᴜᴍᴍᴀʀʏ ❭❱】
You are a renowned adventurer, having taken to the road at a young age due to circumstances you couldn't escape. Thankfully, despite the rocky start, your career has treated you exceptionally well! Now, a little over a decade has passed since you first struck out; legends have been made, ballads composed, and you've more than earned your rest. Plus, what the hell are you supposed to do with all the junk you've collected?
Then it hit you, your most brilliant idea yet.
In the port city-state of Zorhili, in the quiet outskirts of the upper district, you've set up your retirement. The Mythic Pawn, your pawnshop, boasts a truly unique selection of everything the adventuring heart could desire (and then some). The size and scope of your collection earned your shop an excellent reputation, especially among discerning collectors. Your stock is so reliably strange it's even become a tourist destination! Not to mention fans of your adventuring days occasionally popping in for your autograph!
Life as a shopkeeper has been treating you well enough, but this was supposed to be your retirement. If only your eclectic troupe of regulars would actually let you rest!
【❰❬ ɢᴀᴍᴇ ғᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇs ❭❱】
An entirely malleable MC, with plenty of customization options! Choose your name, gender (cis, trans, or nonbinary), pronouns (independent of gender), appearance, and more!
Customize your adventuring history as you play! Did you slay some dragons? Prevent a war? Save all the damsels? The cast and world will reflect your choices and react accordingly!
Find true love across the spectrum by playing as gay, bi/pan, or straight, with both allo and ace-spec options for everyone!
Choose one of 15 different romance routes to pursue! That's right, you heard me: 15! That's 11 monogamous options and 4 polyamorous options (one of which is exclusively poly!).
Meet a diverse cast of fantastical characters! We've got everything from demons to unicorns to literal gods for you to smooch!
Immerse yourself in a lighthearted story about the everyday life of someone who has already been the hero. Let other people worry about monsters and politics; you're just trying to get rid of all these goblets and cheese wheels in your inventory.
Enjoy your well-earned retirement!
...And more!
【❰❬ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ ᴏᴘᴛɪᴏɴs ❭❱】
❥⇝ Tide ➤ 【 Merperson (deep sea) ✦ 30 ✦ 6’2” ✦ Male (cis) ✦ ENFP-A 】 A rare deep-sea merperson who braved the trip to the surface... in pursuit of fast food. Tide is an unflinchingly optimistic, loyal young man with energy and affection to spare and not much else going on in his head. But hey, he's sweet! You know little else about him beyond his name and his appreciation for fried chicken. However, he drops by occasionally to help you move things when a large shipment comes in.
❥⇝ Aewen Ii’wanwa ➤ 【 Ramavii (Birdpeople) ✦ 28 ✦ 4’10” ✦ Male (cis) ✦ INFP-A 】 You'd never know Aewen was a globally renowned healer since he's so gentle and unassuming — you'd miss him entirely if not for the 14-foot wingspan. So quiet and always seeming to have his head in the clouds, you know very little about him or his people. What you do know is that he comes to your shop to buy a seemingly random item twice a month.
❥⇝ Sibylla Lanos ➤ 【 Shifter (wolf) ✦ 24 ✦ 6’1” ✦ Female (trans) ✦ ESFP-A 】 One of the local shifter pack leaders in Zorhili, Sibylla, came into power a year before you set up shop and has proven her capability as a leader since. Her district is spotless, her pack is organized, her authority is unquestioned, and her hair is flawless. You've only seen her from afar once or twice, but it seems her reputation as a boisterous go-getter is well earned.
❥⇝ Vochsikyrillian “Kyril” the Eternal ➤ 【 Dragon (black/opal) ✦ 6000+ ✦ 6’0” ✦ Selectable (male [cis], female [cis], nonbinary [agender]) ✦ ISFJ-A 】 With a reputation for being as wise as they are social, Kyril is at the top of the concise list of dragons people can trust won't eat them. They've made their lair in Zorhili for the past 400 years, but recently, people have seen less and less of them. Disappointing since you've never met them yourself, and they seem like a good person to know. What non-hostile dragon wouldn't be?
❥⇝ (His Majesty) Lokesh Xashiir, the Godking, Emperor of the Sun ➤ 【 Naga ✦ 232 ✦ 6’0” ✦ Male (cis) ✦ ENTJ-A 】 The founding Emperor of the Naga kingdom to the west of Zorhili, Lokesh, has reigned as a global power for over 200 years. He’s adored for his military prowess, his shrewd political sense, his empire's overflowing coffers, and his obscenely good looks. There's hardly a soul who hasn't heard of the man. Few people have ever actually seen him, though. But if you ever did, you imagine he'd look as attractive as this one naga tourist who has been visiting your shop recently.
❥⇝ Zhanenth “Zhan” of Lost ➤ 【 Demon ✦ 693 ✦ 5’7” ✦ Female (cis) ✦ ENTP-T 】 A surprisingly bubbly demoness that literally appeared from thin air in the middle of your shop one day. You know very little about Zhan, and she's not been particularly forthcoming since her arrival. The most you've been able to gather is that she worked really hard to make it to Zorhili, and she's planning to stay in the city for now. Also, that she seems determined to make that your problem, for some reason.
❥⇝ Synethiira “Syn” Nightfrost ➤ 【 God of Magic (ascended mortal, elf) ✦ 128 ✦ 5'6" (167cm) ✦ Male (cis) ✦ INFP-A 】 A blind local sage, Syn runs the small magic shop across the street from you with his family. Always warm and friendly, you'd be more inclined to accept his dinner invites if you weren't positive he's hiding something. No 'local sage' has that amount of ambient magic just rolling off them. Then again, what's a few lies in the face of a tasty free meal?
❥⇝ Lesedi “Letti” Omnieri ➤ 【 God of Knowledge (born divine) ✦ Infinite ✦ 6’0” ✦ Nonbinary (panflux) ✦ INTJ-T 】 Lesedi is Synethiira's longtime spouse, whom most people would generously describe as eccentric. They aren't the first ambiguously powerful and batshit insane person you've met, though, so you don't mind. You're not actually sure what Letti does other than follow Syn around or annoy their pre-teen daughter. Still, they're interesting to talk to, and you enjoy the trivia games they stop by to play with you sometimes.
❥⇝ Sunshine Petaldance ➤ 【 Fae ✦ 821 ✦ 5’2” ✦ Nonbinary (genderfluid) ✦ ENFJ-T 】 A candid Fae whom you're convinced is from a noble line, Sunshine burst into your shop one day to hide from some unnamed pursuers. Of course, you didn't mind, considering their presence did wonders for your garden. But, ever since, they drop in occasionally just to hang around in your yard, always with a discouraged little smile. You wonder what's wrong, but you're not sure if you'd understand Fae politics.
❥⇝ Aori Ak’serah ➤ 【 Unicorn ✦ 234 ✦ 5’6” ✦ Nonbinary (femandrogyne) ✦ INFP-T 】 You hardly believed your eyes when Aori first walked into your shop, considering most people aren't even sure Unicorns actually exist. They're a lively sort, prone to passionate speeches about their interests and random bouts of nerves that make you wonder what they're up to. They've come to your shop once a month for the past 6 months, each time looking increasingly more embarrassed, but they've never actually purchased anything.
❥⇝ Soleil Tusuun ➤ 【 Phoenix ✦ 1003 ✦ 5’4” ✦ Female (cis) ✦ ESTP-A 】 A well-known mercenary who makes her home base in Zorhili, Soleil became one of your most loyal customers shortly after opening. A confident thrill seeker, she consistently proves fun to talk to and reminds you of your own adventuring days. Lately, though, she's been uncharacteristically moody, and you have to wonder if her luck on the job finally ran out.
❥⇝ Ninariya “Nina” Soviath ➤ 【 Vampire (born) ✦ 72 ✦ 5’9” ✦ Selectable (male [cis], female [cis], nonbinary [androgyne]) ✦ ISFP-T 】 Nina is everything romance writers think a vampire should be: beautiful, charismatic, sensual, not-so-secretly tortured over feeding on other people's lives. Unfortunately, most actual vampires are vicious killers who find the stereotype heinous, and Nina was ejected from their coven several decades ago. Since most people in the city avoid them, they've been very grateful you were willing to sell to them when they came looking for light resistance charms.
❥⇝ Lumi Vorrine ➤ 【 Elemental (fire) ✦ 112 ✦ 5’11” ✦ Nonbinary (demifem) ✦ ENFJ-A 】 A well-known performer with a personality that very much matches their element, Lumi arrived in Zorhili with their troupe only recently. You've had the pleasure of seeing their more casual performances a few times at your favorite tavern. However, something about their dancing has seemed off the past few occasions, and you heard the tavern staff whispering about an unjustly stolen role. Entertainment gossip remains appropriately dramatic, it seems.
❥⇝ Closed Poly Triad Options ➤ Synethiira & Lesedi (exclusively poly) Vochsikyrillian & Sunshine Tide & Aewen Soleil & Aori

⚓ creatures release ⚓
you’ve done it again guys!!! the long awaited release of our creature lore is finally here!! check it out below:
merpeople
commonly believed to be mostly female, merpeople reside mainly in any large body of water and are only born in water. they are free to roam around land as long as they dry entirely when leaving the water and they do not get a single drop of water on them when on land. if they do, their tails will sprout, exposing them to anyone around. merpeople possess the power to control water to their favor, however, it can take years for a young merperson to control this power. on land, merpeople are exposed to murder through fire, as it is the only element that can kill them before their natural death. they are ruled, within the ocean, by poseidon’s golden trident. they worship him and the trident like deities. they age in the same time span as humans.
wolves
wolves are known mystically as ‘werewolves’, however, now a days they do not like this term. they are born to mostly wolf mothers, as human mothers can not handle the strength of the baby. humans can be bitten into being a wolf, but nearly half of the humans bitten do not survive the transformation. they are free to change into wolf form when they please, and are not controlled by the full moon. however, at a full moon their powers are stronger than usual. they possess the ability of superhuman strength, speed and agility. on top of that, wolves have night vision and heightened smell. wolves are notoriously known for being involved in packs, which can range in size of 2 to 15, but many choose to be a lone wolf as well. they are injured by touching any form of silver, and a silver bullet will end their lives. they age in the same time span as humans.
faeries
faeries reside mostly in the faerie realm, where they are safe from the dangers of other creatures. born to mostly faerie parents, faerie children are very weak at the start of their lives and as they grow experience a special connection with the nature of the human world, thus why many faeries choose to live within the human world. faeries are able to create a glamour that makes them appear more human, and they are able to shield themselves from anyone they do not wish to be seen by. faeries are injured when viewing the purposeful death of nature in front of them, but can be killed with iron as it mortally wounds them. faeries are able to control their physical aging but they do not live past 500 human years. once a faeries stops their physical aging they are unable to resume it.
witches and familiars
witches are creatures that are not necessarily born with powers. though some are, others study magic in order to be granted powers, however very few succeed in this manner. born witches are unable to control their powers when young and usually end up in a lot of trouble because of it, as they mature they gain control over their powers. the powers of witches range with their concentration of magic and their level of skill. all witches are known to make portals, potions and spells to help them with everyday needs. witches are known to hang in covens for protection, but these are usually made up of family members. once a witch reaches maturity they are able to create a familiar, a shifter creature that takes the form of both human and animal. when creating a familiar, witches are affected in different ways including a drastic change to their immune system and a momentary drain of their powers. so long as they are both in good balance with each other, a familiar can live as long as their witch does. familiars have very limited magic of their own that is gifted to them by their witch, and primarily exist as company, aide, and protection. witches can create another familiar if theirs die, however, this takes an extraordinary measure of power. witches can be killed in any way a human can and age the same way as a human does.
angels
angels were once known to be a celestial species of creatures that primarily resided in heaven. created by what humans believe to be god, they were a very powerful species, however, in modern times, angels now walk amongst humans. they are usually gracious and help those in need around them. angels are only born to two angel parents, and have horrible control over their powers until they reach maturity. angels have a grand list of powers which include telekinesis, superhuman strength, healing, empathy, and control over light. angels also have the gift of flight, however, their wings are massive and usually cause structural damage when expanded thus many angels keep them retracted in their backs. angels can not be killed by simplehuman methods, but only through a specific angel blade forged of gold that not many know about. angels are able to control their physical aging but they do not live past 300 human years. once an angel stops their physical aging they are unable to resume it.
demons
demons were once known as satan’s lap dogs that primarily resided in hell. demons were created by what humans believe to be satan in an attempt to push the angels away from human souls, so that the underworld would receive more souls. demons now also walk amongst the humans but rarely gift a soul to satan. they are known to be mischievous, untrustworthy, and play practical jokes at the expense of humans. demons are only born to two demon parents and have very little control over their powers until they reach maturity. they have a range of powers including superhuman strength, telekinesis, the ability to harvest a human soul, teleportation, pyrokinesis, and the control of shadows. demons can be injured with holy water and ultimately killed with a specific weapon forged of iron and salt, however, many do not know of this weapon. demons are able to control their physical aging but they do not live past 300 human years. once a demon stops their physical aging they are unable to resume it.
