Broke: forbidden romance between a human and a merfolk

Woke: forbidden romance between a saltwater merfolk and a freshwater merfolk

Bespoke: forbidden romance between a deep-sea merfolk and a surface-dwelling merfolk who are kept apart by the differing water pressure that's harmful to either of them

I think they're all good tropes though

More lore!

Deep sea merpeople are elusive and hard to find but they do exist. Occasionally enormous skeletons will be found, no one is to go near them out of respect as no one knows what they do for their rug dead and how to treat it. No one can go down there and ask so it's an overarching rule to not mess with them at all.

Prompt 278

You know what I’ve gotten obsessed with and inspired by? Dredge.

You know what is also fun? Merfolk. What’s even better? Lovecraftian corrupted merfolk. Especially if say, one goes with the Lazarus Waters being a form of ectoplasm. So, in this? Lazarus waters are like lakes, while Amity Park, thanks to the Portal, and the barriers? It is an entire sea.

There are islands, small areas that were once the tips of buildings that have gathered more landmass around them. There are mangroves, trees not like anything on earth or anywhere else stretching up in canopies dark enough to block out the sun, yet lit by the green waters.

It goes deep. Mariana Trench deep, despite it being impossible. The GIW have explored for caves or tunnels, they’ve tried to find some sort of explanation, but there isn’t one.

Now all that ecto? That has an effect on people. They mutate, they change, they adapt. Anywhere else would have been a slow death- something the GIW might have even been counting on. But Amity Park? It was founded by witches, it was the hotspot for the supernatural, even before the Fentonwork Portal. They’ve been dealing with this sort of energy in microdoses from the moment they first began to live in the city in any generation.

But they begin to adapt. Shift into something… other. Some stay contaminated, clinging to human forms as they form homes on the tiny islands, fishing and farming what they can. Others become Liminal, almost seeming to meld with fish, some similar to ones of the Living and others something just to the left. Similar yes, but not quite… right. And then there are those that have truly melded with the energy of the dead, forms torn asunder by it, ripped apart and made anew by it.

The first sign back when the barrier was activated, when they could no longer leave and were trapped were the fish in the lake. And now they are the same, with gazes of something Else, with gnashing teeth and a hunger gnawing at where hearts once were.

But they aren’t monsters. They’re still themselves. Just a little… Other now.

When a whale dies its body sinks to the ocean floor— this is called a "whale fall" and becomes home to a plethora of creatures. This newly created environment provides both food and shelter for its inhabitants!

This fun fact inspired my Whale Fall Goddess for Fat Craft Zine Vol. 3

Why are 99% of all shows/movies about Merfolk just "pretty Mermaid girl learns about the world on land and fall in love with a human boy"? Come on now it been 35 years since Disney dropped The Little Mermaid, we can't just keep making the same exact knock-off while ignoring all the potentials of interesting stories you can make with Merfolks......

#This is why I love the Castle Swimmer #it has zero humans and takes place entirely in the deep sea with a focus on the lore of the Merfolks #and the Merfolk themselves are all interesting looking with many variation between different species
