Budgeting is getting tight this month (and might be for a bit)

Work takes a lot out of me leaving less energy for art but I keep up when I can, it keeps me sane after all!

I have some vet visits for my beasties, Hijinks and Mischief, coming up. They are cute lil creatures a little over a year old now and have grown so much from the tiny lil kittens I found last year

SO I'm just plugging my Ko-fi if anyone is feeling generous, wants to check out other WIPs I have, or has interest in the small test commisions I have before I remember to review them and update/increase the prices

If I get $20 bucks I'll explain why I like to say "Fuck Damien Hirst" and talk about how much I hate "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living".

(gonna try a thing) "Help Wanted" Intro

(I have a lil thought for a story sort of thing maybe. I want to test this out. It's been a minute so it may take a lot of time, trial, and error to "get good" here)

You were walking down the block, small coffee in hand (a little treat of the week) lost in thought. Things as of late had been a struggle, work was stressful and did not pay enough, bills and rent to pay, loans coming up. There is a lot your plate, the thought of moving out of your tiny apartment for the past year dismissed because frankly you can't afford to do that either.

As your pondering walk continues you kept enough awareness to side step cyclists, swinging tails, and groups of folk who think walking as a wall is a good idea. Life bustled around you as people of all sorts went on with their day. Lizardfolk tending window boxes, and elf on the phone chatting about roommates, people laughing in outdoor seating, the most beautiful orc jogging by you nearly tripped.

You crossed the street safely and began to pay attention more to your surroundings. As you begin to walk past one storefront you spy a "Help Wanted" sign. People still use help wanted signs?? You examine the place further, the window full of elegantly posed mannequins in chic clothes. The building itself seemed to of a semi-renovated historic sort, keeping the older facade on the upper floors. A sign above the door read "Araneidae Atelier" and according to the hours posted it should be open.

(anyway yea. that's how I'm gonna start. Spoiler ish I guess? But the set up here is for a hot drider, she's mean and fashionable. I want to write a drider fashion designer! But like if people aren't into that I'll make up some other stuff! hopefully...I want to play with like "choose your own adventure"/IFs a little bit....but I don't want to sit and code and do all that at this time...but I think this could be an interesting experiment/test run! And like get me back into practice and actually writing stuff again. No Beta, we die like men

Hey, I'm an introvert pan girl, who love to learn new things, watch movie, draw and play games. I love all sea creatures, but orcas are my ultimate fav. I like when my partner is taller than me :3 The ideal date could be either stay at home or go out, as long as we having fun I don't mind. The ocean is beautiful for it's scenery. Sunrise or sunset, the colors mixed together so beautiful! The infinite horizon and the serenity it provides. -aghostwholovemonsters

Neato! Glad you’re dropping in! mermaids are pretty gosh darn tall with those tails and all

Ha, I have to stop making these intros so long probably lol but here we go!

And just a ps to others, sorry if I don’t turn these around super fast. I guess I tend to be pretty wordy and I’m not the best writer. I’m also trying to do these cute little sketches because I thought they might add a nice little touch:

You don’t know how this happened. You don’t know why this happened.

You somehow ended up on a boat trip, four days out on the sea to enjoy the air, watch for animals, and fish. It’s not that it isn’t fun and the scenery is beautiful, it’s just a bit jarring. You had brought a sketchbook and a few games with you just to help you pass some downtime and recharge. On the second day, the water had been rough, which meant no fishing and more company below deck. Of course with most of your fellows below meant there was more room open on the deck. You watched the water’s surface for a while sketching passing gulls and rough waves. You were hoping to spot whales still but you knew it wasn’t likely. Out of the corner of your eye, you caught a glint of something and ran over to look over the railing. Hopes rose for a moment but nothing, but you could feel something out there.

That night after most everyone else went to bed you stayed awake. Usually, the rocking motion was actually quite soothing but tonight it was just too much and you couldn’t fall asleep so easily. You headed above to breathe in some night air and look out watching as a sky full of stars meshed with the shine off the waves. You brought a game above with you, just as a distraction but again, you catch something, just a glint, faster this time you barely can make out a long form just below the surface. You lean out trying to get a closer look, maybe if you just gave yourself a slight boost…slip

You expected your fall to be longer, to feel a slap of cold water and to be engulfed. But someone caught you “hey, hey! Be careful!” you were going to turn and thank them when you realized you didn’t recognize the voice. Back on your feet firmly on deck, you pull your arm from their grasp and to your chest it feels slimy. You come face to face with a lithe figure a good foot taller than you, truthfully kind of androgynous. Their skin was almost a pale lime color and a long deep green mohawk was plastered down covering part of their face.

“Ok, like, don’t freak out” They held up their hands trying to keep you calm.

But like, you freaked out. Quitely, mostly internally, but a freak out nonetheless. You opened your mouth but nothing came out for a moment. You stared more, examining this person with a strange skin color and, would you look at that, a long smooth tail coiled beneath them. You took a deep breath

“Right. What are you?” You were surprisingly calm.

“It’s not obvious?” Judging by their tone they feigned hurt

“Some sort of snake-person?”

They dropped their shoulders and shook their head with a sigh they said: “yeah,yeah..no I’m not a snake…” They looked back up and forced the biggest grin they could and shouted “I’m a mermaid!” and spread their arms in a ta-da like fashion

“Don’t shout! You’ll wake everyone up! Aren’t you supposed to be like a fish then?”

“Hey, there’s more than one kind of mer. I’m more of an eel myself” This was an energetic person, to say the least, they don’t stay feeling down for long it seems.

“Right…uh, I’m (y/n)”

“Oh! OH! I’m sorry! Wow, I spaced on that! I’m Moray! Get it?” They laughed at their own joke. “It’s nice to meet you” Moray extended a hand to you which you grabbed, it wasn’t as slimy as you thought it might be, cold but nice.

“Soo…what brings an eel-maid like you onto a boat?” You asked

“I just thought it was interesting, what brings you out to sea?”

“I thought it would be interesting” You smiled at each other and at the same time realized you were still holding hands. You both pulled away blushing and looked down awkwardly.

“So um, what’cha got there?” Moray asked shyly gesturing to your handheld which had been almost forgotten.

“Oh! Um, just a game, do you want to play?”

The mermaid’s eyes lit up mesmerized by the glow of the colors “yes please” she whispered.

Before you knew it you were both curled up on the deck, you almost in the mermaid’s lap, as you showed Moray how to play. You stayed up most of the night laughing and grumbling over more challenging levels. When Moray lost their last life they sighed and handed the game back and you’re most certainly in their lap at this point. “Looks like the sun will be up in a couple of hours and I think your other friends may freak out, won’t they?” Moray smiled but seemed a bit sad.

“Probably” You lightly laughed “but um, this was fun, and this trip still has a couple of days left, if you want to come back, maybe?”

Moray broke out into a smile that could be barely contained on her face “Yes! I would love that! Date number two! You’re on! Oh! And I have a great idea”

“What do you mean? What idea? Date?” you asked surprised.

The energetic mermaid climbed up onto the side of the boat and dropped most of her long tail into the water and turned back to you. “You’ll see, you should probably get some sleep in” With that Moray gave you some finger guns and dropped herself into the water. You decided to take the advice, more tired than you realized. Of course later that day you were woken by a friend “Hey, (y/n) get up here! Quickly!” They sounded excited, and for good reason! A whole pod of whales surrounded you and you had the feeling a certain mermaid had something to do with it. You grabbed a sketchbook and enjoyed the show, looking forward to your next date.

Hi it's great to see you back, I hope you were able to get some good relaxing in! For the merdates, I like to write, hike, and spend time with or learn about animals! I'm a little short and can be somewhat bouncy, plus I always try to find the good in a situation or person. An ideal date for me is something that involves nature or getting to see/touch animals. My favorite thing about the ocean would be either the waves that move you without doing a thing or the mystery of the dark abysses.

Thanks for the welcome back!

I got a little bit carried away and I’m a bit rusty but I hope you enjoy anyway!-

Sometimes you can be on a roll with writing, full of inspiration, words seemingly writing themselves!

This is not one of those times. Nope, you have a serious case of writer’s block because writing is hard. So you decide to slap on some sunscreen, pack a snack, grab a water bottle, and a notebook and venture out to see what exciting adventures await you!… Or at least get some fresh air and clear your head so you can try to get some writing done. You start wandering around town when you hear gulls overhead and decide the beach might be a nice change of scenery, and you know just the spot. Once you hop down into the sand you slip off your shoes to feel the warm sand between your toes and smile to yourself as you listen to the waves crash. You stroll along watching the waves picking up a pretty shell or two along the way. You head past an outcropping of dark rocks heading towards a small secluded area bouncing across them looking forward to some alone time.

Laughter.

Strange.

People usually don’t come down this far, and there was another sound…small…almost like the whine of a puppy. Carefully you peeked over to see and you couldn’t believe what you saw.

It was a girl with curls spun from copper and gold like a halo around a deeply tan and glowing face. No, not a girl, could it? Girls don’t have long and thick gold-orange tails…No this isn’t right. Wait? She’s looking your way! She laughs and waves “Don’t be shy! Come on out!”

A moment of truth, do you turn and run and rationalize your obvious delusion later, or you go and meet a fucking mermaid? That’s a rhetorical question and you don’t think twice. Your eyes go wide and you bound on over “H-hi! Ohmygodareyourealyou’rereallyreal!!! YOU’RE A MERMAID!”

Again she laughs, what a pretty laugh. “And you’re a human! Hi! Want to come sit with me? I’m Talura”. You go over and plop down in the sand next to her practically vibrating with excitement and nervousness “I’m (y/n) It’s nice-Oh!” You’re interrupted by a surprise boop from what seems to be a young seal.

Talura pipes up “Right! I almost forgot! This is Kelp, he got caught up in a net and hurt his flipper. I’m helping keep an eye on him, once he’s feeling better to swim I can help him get home”

You extend a cautious hand to the pup as if you were meeting a new dog, Kelp gives you a sniff and a bark of approval before bound away to play with Taluras tail “He’s so cute! Wow, this is a lot to process…”

“Yeah, I understand that. So what brings you out to the beach?” The way Talura beamed at you made you blush.

“I uh, I’ve been having some writer’s block” You huffed and laid back in the sand, just giving into the oddity of the situation “It’s just stressful I guess”

“It sure seems that way” Talura laid out next to you on her stomach laying her head on her arms “What do like to write? I love hearing stories! People are so interesting” You looked over at the lounging mermaid and told her about your work, your other hobbies, and traded stories. Talura told you more about her life and Kelp as well as a few other animals she has helped. You laughed the day away with each other playing with the pup and admiring the sea. Before you knew it the sun began to set, color dancing across the surf. “I guess I should get going” you quietly said “This is the most fun I’ve had in a while”

“Me too” Talura chimed “This was a fun little date (y/n), maybe we could do it again?”

Your heart skipped a beat. Did she just say date? Your face bloomed with blush “Yeah! I’d really like that! How about tomorrow?”

“Tomorrow” Talura hummed “I’ll see you then!”

You waved goodbye to each other and you headed home looking forward to your next date with this sweet creature lovestruck smile plastered on your face with a new muse to write about.

Meeting a shark mermaid?

IT’S SHARK WEEK! SHARK WEEK! SHARK WEEK!

What’s that thing flopping on the shore?

Looks like something caught in a fishing net

No one else is on the beach

You could try to call someone else, but who? And would it be too late by the time someone arrives?

You’re the things best bet for rescue, you take a gulp and run towards it

Is that a fin? A shark fin?

Oh gods...what if this doesn’t end well?

You approach with more caution now

sharks don’t have hands

or hair

what the fuck?

This is a mermaid? Sharkmaid? Thrashing around caught in what looks more like a long line now that you’re closer. She all wrapped up and multiple hooks jabbing into her body.

A close call with a massive tail swiping at you pulls you out of your state of shock. She isn’t happy and your presence doesn’t seem to be improving her mood.

Yikes, how are you gonna handle this?

Cute post idea?

A bunch of doodles of monster girls with supportive messages? And messages about safety and facts for different issues?

And a nice big list of resources for people to learn more and get help if they need it?

Like I started this blog for fun and mostly for wlw terato fluff...but I'm really comfortable with it and I feel like I could really use it to address serious topics as well from time to time. Would that be weird?

#i write this as i avoid working on other stories #like i just wnd up with too many ideas to handle sometimes #but i feel like this blog could be a really good safe space and if there's anything i can do to help promote that i want to do it. #like my main is mostly a garbage dump i use to look at like memes #sometimes art butostly memes #this side blog is different #lol i should really work on my stories though #can't improve if i don't practice #non terato #Thoughts

Alien Girlfriend?

Alien girlfriend

I’m supposed to be working on a dryad story but now we’re doing this

pt1/?????

She tries to teach you her native tongue but boy is your pronunciation bad. She laughs and appreciates your efforts to learn more about her culture

Smooth AF

“you’ve got stardust beneath your skin"

Will tell you lots of cool space facts, she’s an expert.

Loves science, please do science with her!

A lot of human customs confuse her but she is curious, she’ll go as far as to take notes

Sometimes you do ridiculous things just to watch her try and process the scenario and explain it in her writings (she knows it’s all in good fun)

She and you pretty much live out your own nature documentary on the human race (including bad accents)

Stargazing, lots of stargazing. Sometimes she gets a little homesick and you’re there to comfort her. 

After some time you ask her if she’s homesick she tells you no because she found a new one with you

You’re worried it might be insensitive at first to ask her to help you pull some sweet alien pranks but she is all aboard for it

She likes using various disguises, sometimes the more ridiculous the better (giant sunglasses, trench coats, a horse mask, an alien mask, a tuba?)

endearingly calls you her “earthling”, also “squishy meat sack”

Makes corrections about space and technology when you watch sci-fi movies (and it’s hilarious as it is informative)

Holds you close “I like these human customs of affection”

Perks to dating Dryads

pt 1/ ????

Nature walks, she’s happy to share her world and teach you all she can about it.

The smell of fresh earth and flowers followers her everywhere, she feels like home.

As an ancient being, she can tell you stories of her past and the world long before you came to be. 

There are secrets in the trees and she can teach you how to listen

Doesn’t always know much of the ways of humans and as time went on she found it safer to stay far away from them. But she’d be curious of the changes in society and to hear what your life is like.

Very nurturing and caring, would be there for you even in your darkest hours to help pull you through

She’s tall and great for cuddles will give you reassuring hugs all the time

Would bring you fruits, vegetables, and plants she, of course, grew herself.

If you want to start gardening she’d be overwhelmingly happy to teach and help you.

Even if you had limited space she’d give you advice and help how to best use it, even a window box can a lush magical place!

Have no fear of becoming lost, she’ll protect you in her forest and you’ll always find your way to the other side.

She’ll show you the lushest spots in the forest where you can safely observe the beauty of nature.

because a dryad insert is the thing I got stuck on! So have these while I try to sort that out!

Nessie’s Girl

Nessie is a friend, yeah

I know she's been a good friend of mine

But lately, something's changed that ain't hard to define

Nessie's got herself no girl and I want to make her mine

And she's watching me with those eyes

And she's swimming with me in the loch, I just know it

Yeah 'n' I’m holding her flipper late, late at night

You know

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

Where can I find a monster like that

I play along with the charade

There doesn't seem to be a reason to change

You know, I feel so dirty when she starts talking cute

I wanna tell her that I love her

But the point is probably moot

'Cause she's watching me with those eyes

And she's swimming with me in the loch, I just know it

Yeah 'n' I’m holding her flipper late, late at night

You know

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

Where can I find a monster like that

To be Nessie's girl

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

Where can I find a monster

Where can I find a monster like that

And I'm looking in the mirror all the time

Wondering what she don't see in me

I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines

Ain't that the way love supposed to be

Tell me, where can I find a monster like that

You know, I wish that I was Nessie's girl

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

I want to be Nessie's girl

Where can I find a monster like that

To be Nessie's girl

I wish that I was Nessie's girl

I want, I want to be Nessie's girl
