Bottom of the deep blue sea - Chapter Two (Yandere sea creature x reader)

I looked at the strange live fish that the creature held out to me, its slimy texture glistening under the dim light of the cave. The scent wafted up to me, mixing with the damp salty air.

"No, thank you," I said softly, shaking my head. The creature's three-eyed gaze locked onto me, emitting a low, questioning trill, their long arms still extended, offering the still wriggling fish to me.

I tried to communicate my refusal, pointing at the fish, and then shaking my head more vigorously. "I can't," I murmured, "I appreciate your kindness, but I…I can’t."

The creature's expression shifted, and they produced a series of clicking sounds, perhaps trying to convey reassurance or convince me otherwise. But I couldn't understand the meaning behind their words.

With a slow, deliberate movement, they opened their cavernous mouth, their gaze never leaving mine as if they were making sure I wasn’t frightened, and then slipped the fish inside. They trilled, before diving down into the pool and returning with another squirming fish clutched in their large hand.

As the creature held it out to me, I felt a mix of guilt and gratitude. It was clear that they were trying to provide for me, but the sight of the raw, wriggling fish made my stomach churn. I couldn't bring myself to eat it, despite the creature's intentions.

"I can't," I repeated softly, "I really appreciate it, but I don't know if it's safe for me. And…I don’t know what I’d do if I got sick here.”

With a low hum, the creature slowly withdrew their extended hand, the fish slipping back into the water with a gentle splash.

They stared at me, as if considering what to do, as if trying to figure out what to bring me. Then with a flash of recognition, their eyes widened, and they dove down once more into the pool, before returning with a large hand full of assorted plants, none remotely looking edible.

They trilled enthusiastically as they presented it to me. An amused smile crept to my lips even as my stomach rumbled in disappointment. Their gestures showed a genuine desire to help, even if their understanding of my needs was limited.

"Thank you," I said, my voice filled with gratitude. "I appreciate your effort. You're very kind." I pointed at the plants they had gathered and shook my head, indicating that I couldn't eat them. "But these... I don't think I can eat them either.”

The creature tilted their head, repeating their trill.

"I wish I could understand you," I sighed, feeling a pang of loneliness and frustration.

The creature's eyes softened, and they emitted a gentle cooing sound. They reached out again, this time with an empty hand, and gently stroked the top of my head. I leaned into the creature's touch, appreciating the comfort it brought. Despite our language barrier, their actions spoke volumes.

"You're trying your best, aren't you?" I murmured.

The creature emitted a soft, melodic hum, their touch becoming even more soothing. It was as if they understood the sentiment behind my words, even if they couldn't comprehend the specific meaning.

Several hours passed and my rock ledge became littered with their various attempts at feeding me. From semi-edible clumps of seaweed that I had half heartedly chewed, to the remains of small sea creatures that I couldn't even bring myself to touch.

I sat against the cave wall, lost in my thoughts. The creature had retreated to the depths of the pool, leaving me to contemplate my situation. I wondered if there was any hope of finding my way back home or if I would be forever trapped in this mysterious place.

I had spent at least an hour slowly walking around the confines of the cavern, tapping on the stone wall, searching for any opening while the creature was away. There were a few finger sized holes near the far roof of the cave, seemingly leading into other wider open air caverns, but they were inaccessible to me. The pool was the only entrance and the only exit.

Suddenly, a splashing sound caught my attention, and I turned to see the creature emerging from the water emitting an enthusiastic trill.

“Hi…” I greeted softly. “What did you bring me this time?”

They darted towards me, their eyes gleaming with anticipation. In their arms was a waterlogged cooler, adorned with colorful beach-themed stickers. It was clear that they had retrieved it from somewhere nearby, perhaps stolen from a beach.

They carefully set the cooler down in front of me, and I eagerly pried it open to discover a treasure trove of water bottles, Gatorade, and various snacks - granola bars, packets of crackers, and even some dried fruit.

I let out a delighted gasp, and immediately reached for a water bottle, unscrewing the cap, and gulping down the contents in a second, hardly having realized the extent of my thirst until that moment. I reached for a second one, drinking it down just as quickly.

The creature emitted a joyous trill, their eyes conveying satisfaction and happiness as they watched as I enthusiastically tore open a packet of crackers and devoured them, relishing the taste of something familiar and comforting.

As I savored the snacks, my gratitude swelled within me, and I thanked them between each bite. The creature responded with a pleased purr each time, clearly overjoyed at having been able to provide for me. Once I had finished indulging in the snacks, with enough left over for at least another meal, I sat back, staring at the creature in appreciation.

"Thank you," I said again, my voice filled with emotion. "I feel bad for whatever family you stole that from but thank you for bringing it to me. Thank you so much!”

As the creature leaned in to nuzzle their head against mine, a brief flicker of apprehension crossed my mind. Although the cooler no longer had ice and several of the snacks had been damaged or dented, the expiration dates on the plastic packaging indicated they had been purchased not too long ago. I must be near a beach somewhere. Close enough to land that the creature could return within an hour or two.

If so, why hadn’t they taken me there after they rescued me? It seemed strange that they would spend all this effort attempting to feed me, when they could have just dropped me off.

I leaned back to meet their gaze, searching for any hints of their intentions, but all I saw was a sense of overjoyed contentment, as if providing for me was enough for them. It was clear that they genuinely cared for my well-being, but the question of their motives remained unanswered.

I pointed towards the cooler and then gestured towards one of the stickers of a beach at sunset, trying to convey my curiosity about where they had obtained it. The creature tilted their head, seemingly pondering my gesture.

The creature's three-eyed gaze locked onto the sticker I was pointing at, and their expression shifted into something darker. They let out a low rumbling sound, before nuzzling against me once more.

“Do you understand me?” I asked, despite the feeling of their damp face against the hollow of my neck. “The beach. That’s where you got this from, right?”

Another low rumble.

“Can you take me there? Take me to where you got the cooler?”

The creature seemingly ignored me as they cooed in my ear. I gently disentangled myself from the creature's embrace and sat back, staring at them. They emitted another soft cooing sound, their expression filled with what I could only interpret as affection.

"I appreciate you taking care of me," I spoke softly, "But I really want to go to the beach, to see where you found this cooler. Can you understand me?"

One of the creatures’ long tentacles sought out an unopened Gatorade bottle and held it up to me. It seemed that they were offering me the drink, perhaps as a way to divert my attention or express their inability to fulfill my request.

I took it from their grasp but set it back down on the rock shelf.

“The beach.” I repeated, “I want to see it. Can you take me there?”

I watched as their eyes narrowed, in a now familiar look of annoyance, just like the last time I had asked to go to the surface.

“You know what I’m saying, don’t you…?” I asked, feeling a sudden strange sense of unease. “You know that I want to go back to land. Back to people. You know what I’m asking, don’t you?”

The creature's three-eyed gaze met mine, and for a moment, there was a sense of tension in the air. Their expression seemed to blacken, and they emitted another low rumbling sound, but this time eerily resembling a growl.

I leaned back, maintaining eye contact with the creature, trying to convey the urgency and importance of my request. "I need to go to the beach," I said firmly, "I need to find my way back home. Please, understand me."

The creature emitted the sound again, their gaze shifting between the cooler and me. It was difficult to discern their true intentions, but I couldn't ignore the gnawing feeling that they were blaming the presence of the cooler for my request.

I reached out and gently touched one of their long tentacles. "You can understand me, can't you?" I whispered, my voice tinged with both desperation and hope. "Please, take me to the beach. Help me find a way back."

The creature's gaze softened, and they emitted a trilling sound, almost resembling a sigh. They withdrew their tentacle from my touch, and for a moment, there was silence. Then, with a sudden burst of movement, they turned and swiftly disappeared into the depths of the pool with the unmistakable energy of someone leaving the room to avoid an argument.

I sat there, staring at the empty space where the creature had been, a flurry of emotions swirling within me. The creature's actions left me feeling both disappointed and confused. I was certain they had understood my plea, but for some reason, they were unable or unwilling to grant it.

As I contemplated my next move, the realization dawned upon me that I couldn't rely only on the creature's assistance. If I wanted to find my way back home, I would have to take matters into my own hands. Now that I had eaten and drank, I felt a steady thrum of energy flowing through me.

I stared at the pool of water with a sudden sense of determination. Carefully I peeled a clump of bioluminescent algae from the wall and scooted towards the edge.

As I gazed down into the black abyss, I felt my courage immediately waver. Still, I lowered my feet into the bath-like salt water, the ominous dark void staring back at me, with no indication of how deep it was or where it led.

As I eased my body into the water, the familiar feeling of weightlessness embraced me, momentarily sending a wave of panic coursing through my veins. I told myself that I was only taking a quick look, a glimpse into what lay beneath the surface.

After a deep, calming breath, I submerged myself in the water. The world around me instantly transformed into a distorted blur of shadows and muted colors and I fought against the immediate instinct to resurface.

Using the algae in my hand as a feeble source of light, I glanced around, my eyes stinging painfully from the saltwater. The faint glow and my searching hand revealed the rocky walls of an underwater cave, covered in moss and barnacles. There were small fish darting in and out of crevices, and the occasional flicker of movement caught my attention.

As I started to swim deeper, I felt a sudden rush of movement behind me. Startled, I turned my head to see three intense balls of light bolting towards me. Before the fear even had a chance to settle, I felt the sudden suffocating grip of several panicked tentacles wrapping themselves around my body.

Desperate, I reached out, grabbing onto the creature's tentacles, hoping to pry them loose. But it only seemed to further enrage the creature. Their eyes burned with a ferocity I had not witnessed before, and they emitted a low, guttural growl that reverberated like an earthquake through the water.

With a swift motion, the creature jerked their body, violently propelling us upwards and back into the grotto. The force of their movement sent us airborne for a moment, and they landed on the rock shelf with a loud wet smack.

My eyes stung from the salt, and tears streamed freely down my face as I violently coughed out the water I had swallowed from my brief futile struggle.

Lying on their chest, gasping for air, I looked up to see the creature’s face hovering above me, its three-eyed gaze filled with anger and worry as the bioluminescence in their cheeks glowed a threatening, vibrant red, casting an eerie light on the rocky walls of the cave. Their rumbling voice reverberated deafeningly loud, the vibrations shaking my entire body.

Struggling to catch my breath, I reached out with trembling hands, "I’m sorry!" I panted, "Please! I just... I’m sorry. I…I just wanted to…”

The creature's three-eyed gaze bore into mine as I trailed off, and for a moment, the rumbling subsided. Their grip on me loosened, allowing me to draw in deep, ragged breaths, but their tentacles remained wrapped around me, nearly covering my entire body.

“I’m sorry.” I coughed. “I didn't mean to make you mad! I’m sorry.”

Slowly, the creature's expression softened, and the vibrant red glow in its cheeks began to fade into a simmering green blue. In a gentle motion, the creature loosened their grip further, and they let out a soft mournful cry as they nuzzled their face against mine. I remained cautious, not wanting to make any sudden movements that might reignite its anger.

Their hands prodded around my neck, and for a brief moment I thought they were going to choke me, but instead they just rested their fingers against my jugular notch, caressing the shell from my makeshift tentacle necklace, as if making sure it was still there.

“Yes I…I didn’t lose it.” I murmured, feeling my heart race a million miles a minute. “You, uh, you tied it really well.”

The creature let out a responding coo, their body relaxing beneath mine as if relieved. Their hands swept up my neck, and caressed my face, running their fingers over my cheekbones and clearing the stinging salt from my eyes in a surprisingly gentle and soothing touch.

“I…I’m sorry.” I repeated in a hesitant voice as they swept my soaked hair from my face. “I didn’t mean to make you so upset.”

The touch of their webbed hands sent a peppering of goosebumps down my limbs, and the creature swept them away, running their fingers down my arms. They seemed to be checking if I was hurt in some way, and when they discovered no injuries, their body relaxed further.

As the creature's touch continued to soothe me, I asked softly, "Why... why can't I leave?”

The creature trilled a high-pitched question, and I tentatively pointed to the pool of water. The creature's grip immediately tightened around me, their touch momentarily intensifying as a warning as they let out a sharp click.

"No, no!" I reassured them, "I'm not trying to leave again. I…I just want to know why."

The creature's grip strengthened, their three-eyed gaze searching mine for understanding. They emitted a series of clicks and trills, a melodic language that resonated with both caution and affection. Slowly, they eased their hold on me, their touch transitioning from protective to gentle once again.

"But please, tell me why." I implored, my words barely above a whisper, my eyes locked with theirs.

In response, the creature emitted a trill that conveyed both confusion and longing. With a slow, deliberate movement, they released their grip on me, setting me down on the rock shelf and allowing me a modicum of freedom, but their watchful gaze never wavered.

Summoning my courage, I repeated my gesture, pointing toward the pool of water. In an instant, the creature's response was rapid and resolute. They swiftly swept me into their arms, their grip tightening with a sharp click, a clear indication that straying beyond the bounds of the cave was not permitted.

My heart pounded in my chest as frustration and fear welled up within me. "But why?" I protested, as they nuzzled their head against mine, trailing their webbed fingers down the back of my hair. "That's the only way out. Why am I not allowed to leave? There are people who care about me, who need to know that I'm alive. I need to leave."

They briefly pressed their forehead to mine, their lantern-like eyes closing, before they lowered their head to press a strange kiss to the tulip shell of my tendril necklace, the gesture incredibly tender and reverent.

A shiver coursed through me as I felt the direct pressure of teeth around the delicate skin of my neck. As the creature grazed my skin, a surge of panic shot through me, and I instinctively tensed, expecting the worst.

But instead of pain, I felt only delicate contact as their teeth caressed my throat, in a dangerous display of trust and caution. Their touch became gentler, almost apologetic, as they emitted a soft, sorrowful trill.

With a tremor in my voice, I whispered, "I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I just... I need to know. I need to know why I can't leave."

The creature lifted their head to meet my gaze, their eyes brimming with a strange combination of emotions. They released their hold on me, their webbed hand trembling as they reached up to touch my necklace once more.

They wrapped their other hand around my own and brought it up to their neck placing my fingers on the black stone embedded in their jugular notch. The stone I had picked out for them was now glowing with vibrant pink bioluminescence.

Struggling to find my voice amidst the intensity of the moment, I whispered in a tremulous tone, "What... what are you trying to tell me?”

The creature let out a gentle, loving purr that reverberated through my fingertips.

With a dawning realization, a chill crept up my spine. I stared at the black stone, its pink glow pulsating in sync with their rapid breaths.

Dread swelled within me, twisting in my gut as I tried to make sense of it all. The creature's intimate actions, their eagerness to provide for me, their longing gaze, and now this gesture with the shell and the stone - it all painted a picture I hadn't dared to imagine before.

I had thought I was just expressing gratitude towards the creature for rescuing me, but in their eyes, I had unknowingly bound myself to them. Unintentionally accepting their offer of some sort of unbreakable union.

The stone and shell seemed to be as significant as a wedding ring.

The creature, sensing my growing unease, emitted a soft, pleading trill. Their eyes searching mine for understanding. In that moment, I saw a vulnerability in them that mirrored my own. They had opened their heart to me, and now they longed for reciprocation.

I struggled to find my voice, the words stumbling out in a shaky whisper. "I... I don’t understand…”

The creature's grip tightened around me once more, their three-eyed gaze filled with a mix of affection and possessiveness. It was as if they were silently claiming me, marking me as theirs. The realization sent a surge of panic through my veins, making my heart pound even faster as I now found myself entangled in a relationship I hadn't even realized existed.

Every instinct in me screamed to break free. The creature's touch, once comforting and gentle, now felt suffocating and invasive. "I... I never meant for this to happen. I didn't realize... I didn't understand.”

Their eyes flashed with hurt and desperation, their trills and clicks echoing through the cavern, a language I struggled to comprehend. It was a plea, a plea for me to see the depth of their feelings, to acknowledge the bond that had formed between us.

But the weight of their emotions only added to my fear. The thought of being tied to this creature indefinitely, unable to escape the confines of the cave, filled me with a profound sense of claustrophobia.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I implored, my voice cracking, "I'm sorry... I never meant to lead you on. But I can't stay here.”

The creature's response came in the form of a mournful cry, a sound that reverberated through the cave. The cry echoed in my ears, haunting and filled with a profound sadness that pierced my heart.

The creature's grip on me tensed, their three-eyed gaze locking onto mine with unwavering intensity. Their trills and clicks filled the air, conveying a raw blend of frustration, hurt, and a firm insistence that I honor the commitment I had unintentionally made. The cavern seemed to shrink around us, suffocating and closing in on every side.

A surge of fear coursed through my veins as the force of their gaze made it clear that they were not willing to let me go. Their arms tightened like a vice, restricting my every movement, and leaving me gasping for breath. In that moment, the creature's hold on me became not only possessive but also threatening. Their insistence on honoring the vow I had unknowingly made began to smother any rational thought, trapping me in a claustrophobic nightmare.

My mind raced with thoughts of escape, but as their shrill cries and clicks filled the air, desperation and hurt emanating from their very core, a new realization dawned upon me - I was in grave danger. The creature's eyes bore into mine, demanding a response and panic seized my body.

I had to calm the creature down, to ensure my own safety. With a trembling voice, I spoke the words that would seal my fate.

"Yes, alight" I croaked, my voice barely audible amidst the creature's wailing. "Yes, I understand.”

The cave fell deathly silent as the creature stared at me. Wide lantern-eyes swallowing me whole in their effort to understand my words. A momentary stillness settled over us, hanging in the air like a heavy fog. But beneath the surface calm, an undercurrent of possessiveness remained, like a predator ready to strike.

“I’ll stay.” I whispered in a rush. “I…I understand. I’m sorry. I’ll stay.”

Relief washed over the creature's features, their grip on me loosening slightly as their eyes softened. They began to emit soft, gentle coos of contentment, filling the cavern with a strange sense of serenity.

But deep inside, I felt a growing sense of terror. The choice I had made was not one of genuine acceptance, but rather a desperate attempt to appease the creature, to quell the storm that raged within them. I had succumbed to fear, sacrificing my own independence to ensure my immediate safety.

As the creature released their achingly strong hold on me, their touch now gentle and loving, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss. The freedom I longed for seemed even further out of reach, as I found myself bound to a creature I barely understood.

The creature let out a deep, purposeful purr, closing their headlight bright eyes, and enveloping me in their arms once more as they carried me further into the cave and away from the only exit.

There was a smooth dip in the rock where a smaller ring of stone created a natural cozy alcove. The creature had spent a small part of the day relocating my makeshift bed from last night into this area, and during their excursions to find me food, had collected several armfuls of soft plants and even a couple of damaged beach towels to add to the budding nest.

After the creature carefully placed me down, they gazed at me, cooing gently with a glimmer of satisfaction at having achieved their desired outcome. They settled in beside me, their large sinewy body forming a protective circle around me. Or a barrier to the only escape route.

As I lay there, enveloped by the creature's gentle touch and defensive presence, a wave of resignation and fear overwhelmed me. The reality of the situation sank in, and I understood that, for the time being, my best chance of survival relied on playing along with the creature's desires.

They cooed at me, as if asking if I was comfortable, and I stared up at them. My gaze met the creature's three eyes, and I mustered a weak smile, trying to convey a sense of gratitude and acceptance.

“Yes, thank you.” I mumbled, although I wasn’t in the least bit tired.

I watched as their tendrils wriggled in the soft light cast by their glowing eyes and the bioluminescent algae surrounding us. They replied in a gentle chirp, curling a tentacle beside my head, forming a strange writhing pillow.

I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond to this unusual gesture before cautiously resting my head against the creature's tentacle, feeling its soft and slightly cool touch against my cheek.

The creature emitted a soft purr, their vibrations reverberating through the rock beneath us. They seemed to take my response as a positive sign, confirmation of the relationship that they believed existed between us. Their three eyes closed in contentment, and I could sense a growing sense of satisfaction emanating from it.

Their arms enveloped me once again, and I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of comfort. The touch of their hands on my face, the gentle caresses, and their soothing presence began to ease the tension within me. It was as if they understood my fears, offering solace and reassurance in their own unique way.

I allowed myself to relax slightly in their embrace, all the while wondering how I had gotten into this situation.

As they nuzzled their head against mine, a realization began to dawn on me. The creature's possessiveness and insistence on my staying with them weren't born out of malice but rather a deep-rooted longing for connection. They had saved me, cared for me, and in their own way, they believed they were reciprocating the bond that had formed between us.

But their understanding of that bond and mine were worlds apart. While they saw it as an unbreakable union, I saw it as an accidental promise made under pressure.

I knew deep down that I had to find a way to escape. But for now, I had to tread carefully, to appease the creature and gain their trust, while waiting for the opportunity to run.

Or more likely swim.

Far far away from here.

LUPIN III - THE FOURTH

Aka "Lupin's extended family bullies him live on TV"

Y'all remember Maki from Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid?

☝️ This awesome kiddo who spent half of the movie harassing Lupin into taking her as an apprentice? And who was actually quite good at thieving, good enough that she managed to get to Lupin's target by her own means?

I think she should become Lupin IV.

...And I might have gotten a bit carried away.

Yes they all call themselves Lupin IV. Yes there is an explanation to that. The explanation is to bully Lupin.

Maki: master thief, and leader of the Gang. The actual official Lupin IV as far as the Lupin succession line is concerned. Outgoing and bubbly, a determination that can break though walls. (Blood Seal - Eternal Mermaid)

Ami: tech expert and hacker. Likes to pretend she has no feelings. (Part 5)

Julia: social engineer/people person. Very strong personality and very confident. (Farewell to Nostradamus)

Kenny: gunman. Very loyal, inherited Jigen's "knight in shining armour" complex. (Part 6)

Murasaki: medic. Too tired for this bullshit but is actually having fun. A ray of sunshine. (The Fuma Conspiracy)

Long story short:

Growing up Maki never stops wanting to become a thief. By the time she's an adult, she's actually gotten quite good at it.

One day she runs by chance into Ami, and learns about how much Lupin changed her life. And how many other children - now adults their age - he impacted as well.

Maki sets out to find as many of them as she can, and founds her own thieving gang.

But Maki doesn't only have skills like Lupin's, she also has his knack for causing problems. So once she's assembled her team of "Kids Lupin Left Behind And Who Also Like Causing Problems", she goes out to find Rebecca Rosselini, aka Lupin's almost-but-not-exactly-divorced-wife (Part 4).

"Rebecca," she says, "do you mayhaps want to annoy the heck out of Lupin for funsies?"

"Boy do I!" replies Rebecca. "What do you need from me?"

"Oh nothing much," says Maki. "Just a little signature on these four adoption forms."

And thus Maki, Ami, Julia and Kenny legally acquire the last name Lupin. And all officially declare themselves Lupin the Fourth.

Lupin is fuming, Zenigata is having a stroke, the rest of the LupGang are laughing their asses off.

Murasaki is there too because these kids need a responsible adult.

EDIT: You can discover the supporting cast and more succession shenanigans here!

#i'd like to make it clear for people who haven't watched these movies:#neither maki nor any of the kids are related to lupin in any way shape or form #he was just forced into babysitting them at some point #(except kenny who was babysitted/kidnapped by jigen and decided to become a gunman after 2h of interaction with him)#yes i know lupin and rebecca never actually got properly legally married BUT its funnier if they did #lupin iii #lupin the third #lupin iv #lupin the fourth #blood seal eternal mermaid #the fuma conspiracy #farewell to nostradamus #ami enan #murasaki suminawa #kenny howell #julia douglas #unfortunately maki has no last name so i cant tag her #digital art

Okay but why are all of them perfect 😭

Theo, Wakuu, Raj, Noah, Pablo- mermaid man isn’t even available yet but damn he’s gorgeous too. Gahhhh my heart. I’m only about two maybe three hours into the early access but so far it’s as cute and charming as I was hoping it would be, and the art style is fantastic. Kind of hoped there’d be more facial customization but again it is early access so we’ll see.

Also Rafael is absolutely adorable and I wanna give him a hug. Leah seems stuck up but I gave her a flower and she called me a sweetheart so like y’know what I’m gonna befriend her.

And the game lets the players talk to the animals like yessss, Taco is a good boy! Butters is doing great! Peanut is precious! Such sweet animals. I will talk to them every time I see them.

#coral island #early access #my girl is currently running around barefoot because I got her a sweater and some pants but didn’t have enough money for shoes #it’s fine #I’m so excited for the full game #I fully intend of marrying mermaid man when he’s available but until then #I’m gonna look respectfully at the other love interests 👀

when i was seven and our trailer burned down, i thought about leaving my father there, grabbing my brother, and getting us the hell out

i didn't. i ended up waking our father and we all ended up at the neighbors' house

but i should have

i fucking should have

because the minute he had a chance to be alone with me (after we got to my grandma's trailer) guess what he did! shortly after our fucking HOME burned down and the firefighters gave my brother and i teddy bears and wrapped blankets around us for shock!!!!!! fucking christ i hate our father more than anyone on this earth

#haha :) feeling normal abt this!#all i cared about was my brother being safe. thats all. i still remember holding his hand and walking him to the neighbours house #i couldnt see because i left my glasses in the trailer. they put on the little mermaid cartoon for us. i even remember what episode it was #but i genuinely considered leaving my father there and honestly that scares me #honestly i was afraid to wake him up bc i didnt want him to get mad at me. if he got mad at me i would always suffer for it later #milo murmurs #fun fact we lived w someone & his son and his son ended up becoming my cousin when his mom married my uncle #i am so so glad neither or them were home that night #he was so young. im several years older than him & he was so little that he doesnt even remember we lived together #csa vent #tw csa vent #csa tw #also feeling fucked up abt the fact that my father wld put his cigarettes out on me when he was pissed #sometimes i wonder if the fire started because he was smoking smth and passed out while doing it but my brother slept in his room #i feel like they wouldve been much more worse off if the fire started in their room #anyway im pretty sure that the fire was set intentionally bc he had some ties to the wrong ppl #and either they didnt know me & my brother were also there and were only going after our father or they didnt care we were there #to this day even bonfires make me nervous if i can only smell them & cant see them. i hate smelling smth burning & panicking #we live in the country now so its very common for ppl to burn leaves and wood and what have you. its still scary sometimes #i think abt this a lot actually bc any fire still makes me lowkey nervous. less so if i know where/what its coming from but still nervous

due to how vast yet vague majority of Alice's family tree is I think I should be given a round of applause for not making her related to more Fables

#paraportal #grimm writings #alice glazier #she's already related to the mad hatter mary anne the white queen AND lewis carroll himself.#the thought. of her being related to so many different Fables & having ties to so many different Tales sounds HILARIOUS to me tho #like girl. no fucking WONDER you ended up getting isekai'd lmao ur whole family is magic/cursed as hell #i already wanna connect rose & marjorie due to them going into comas in their respective Tales #I CANNOT have a phantasmagoria family tree 2.0 I am NOT doing that again goddamnit #anyway sound off in the replies who alice should be related to next sljfkd /hj #like shes married to wendy - her father in law is captain hook #& her sister in law is the little mermaid. girls got ENOUGH fairytale bullshit shes gotta deal with.#but also i want as many paras in this family tree as possible. really STRETCHING the use of ''family'' here lmao

Kindred spirits appear when you least expect them (geddit?).

Normally it wouldn't be a massive deal hating something popular, bc inevitably, everyone's gonna hate something popular at some point in their lives. But what do you do when you hate Me Before You and LOVE Sam Claflin, what do you do then? What do you do, when you see an article about him and get that dreaded feeling in your stomach as you click to open it, bc you know that film will be mentioned? (I want to hug every journalist who doesn't bring it up. Nicely done work, Men's Health.) What do you do when you see all the comments from people who love that film saying how much they cried? (Why? WHY???? What is there to cry about? How easily impressed people are by a cheap tearjerker?) What do you do when that film is sold as the best thing in romance, a True Love (how?), a "doomed love story" (how????? Romeo and Juliet is a doomed love story, not this trash). What do you do when you know there are much, much better, more quality films with Sam to watch, with better developed female characters AND love interests--but everyone ignores them? What do you do?

Will: You're the only thing that makes me wake up in the morning.

Also Will: kills himself.

How truly inspirational! /s

#sam claflin #me before you #samblogging #i guess it's him i should be mad at most for taking that role #the biggest downside to being his fan #the absolute worst #like love rosie sucks but had i been a teen watching it i might've liked it #tbh teens are the audience for that film probably what with its immaturity #but this... PAIN. SHEER PAIN #emilia fucking clarke has GOT and is now in marvel and i bet you nobody thinks of mby when they think of her #yet it keeps coming up for sam even tho he is miles. MILES better actor than her #and there's so much good stuff #watch adrift now that is inspirational #that is a tearjerker in a good way #you got that cute romance with a mermaid on potc4 #snow white and huntsman with william & snow white childhood friends to lovers #if you just look at the love stories #as far as 'dooomed' goes... their finest #he wanted to marry her!#while will chooses death over being with louisa #will does not love louisa #don't blame him she's the stupidest protagonist in the world #a pair of stripy tights does not a personality make #florence nightingale syndrome does not a love story make #ugh #i hope rupert and alicia lived happily ever after though #villains are always better #so glad at least i got it out #mypost

need to start playing the sims again my sim hasnt succeeded in locking her first ex in a room with no exits yet n thats very important to her

#bonk.txt #little context is that talia (the sim i made) started dating a sim i didnt realize was already married (forgot to check if he was single)#n it broke her heart so ive been meaning to kill him cause shes meant to be a murderer cause i thought it'd be funny #n her second ex died (they broke up after she got him brought back as a ghost) so i want all of her dating endeavours that dont work out to #end with death for her ex for the bit #also kind of unrelated but she broke up with her second ex after going through the effort to bring him back is cause there was no option for #them to actually be together for some reason i think it has to do with him being a mermaid but both while he was alive n after he became a #ghost they was no option to go beyond romantic interest status so i had her dump him n kick him out of her house

Kendra by the Sea

Unbeknownst to most humans, merfolk thrive in underwater villages and cities, such as Aquinia, located off the Massachusetts coast. One day, ten-year-old Addison Powell and her family are taking a boat tour, when she sees something in the water and accidentally falls overboard while trying to get a better look. In the ocean, Addison briefly meets an orphaned mermaid named Kendra before she is rescued. Since no one else saw Kendra, Addison comes to believe the encounter was a near-death hallucination. Five years later, Addison is invited by her classmates, Mac and Jolie, to a beach party held by popular student Darcy. That same night, Kendra reluctantly accompanies her sea witch aunt and current guardian Marinella to the merfolk’s full moon ball. When she receives an unwanted marriage proposal from the merman Taron, Kendra flees to the ocean surface with Marinella‘s assistant, Stretch the octopus, and spots Addison with her classmates on a swim platform, recognizing her from her childhood. Addison accidentally falls into the water and blacks out, but Kendra rescues her despite Stretch’s objections and brings her to shore. As she regains consciousness, Kendra flees, but Addison glimpses the mermaid’s tail. Eccentric scientist Dr. Brody Simmons also sights Kendra as well. While planning to run away to the merfolk city of Atargatis, Kendra finds Addison’s wallet, and uses charts from a sunken ship to locate the latter’s hometown of Falmouth. Kendra then steals Marinella’s experimental potion which gives her legs but renders her unable to speak as a side-effect. Coming ashore with Stretch half-naked at Woods Hole Marine, the now-mute Kendra is apprehended for indecent exposure. Using information from Addison’s wallet, the police contact the Powells and the mysterious girl is released into the family’s care. Despite Kendra being unable to communicate with Addison, as well as the former’s occasionally outlandish behavior, the two develop a close bond. Back in Aquinia, Marinella searches frantically for her lost niece whom she initially believes to have been kidnapped until Stretch returns and informs her what has happened. Disguising her tail, she and Stretch come ashore to find Kendra, confronting her during an outing with Addison. Before a skeptical Addison leaves with Kendra, Marinella reveals that if Kendra ever touches seawater she will not only regain her voice but also her tail. Stretch secretly follows the girls, but is discovered sneaking into the Powells’ home. Kendra is able to silently convince the family to keep Stretch as a pet, much to his initial chagrin until he realizes that he can use his situation to protect her. Meanwhile, Simmons, realizing that the mute girl at Woods Hole Marine was the mermaid he encountered, pursues the girls, trying to expose Kendra as a mermaid by splashing her with water. His attempts are unsuccessful (mostly thanks to Stretch’s actions), and Simmons ends up with multiple injuries. Eventually, he begrudgingly enlists his rival, Dr. Ernesto Sykes, and other friends to his cause. After these encounters with Simmons, Kendra decides to reveal the truth about herself to Addison after attending a presentation at the Woods Hole Science Aquarium. However, Stretch is chased by the aquarium’s employees, allowing Simmons to soak Kendra with a bucket of saltwater and successfully unmask her identity. Sykes and his colleagues then capture Kendra, carrying her away. Addison is shocked by Kendra’s secret, but when she voices her disillusionment to her classmates, Darcy berates her, reminding Addison how happy she was. Realizing that she truly loves Kendra, Addison, along with Stretch, Darcy, Mac, Jolie and Marinella, confronts the guilt-ridden Simmons, who has learned that Sykes is planning to dissect Kendra, admitting that he just wanted to prove that he wasn’t crazy rather than cause actual harm; He agrees to help rescue her. While Marinella and Stretch return to Aquinia to work on the potion, the group infiltrate Sykes’ lab and smuggle Kendra outside, but Sykes discovers them and calls the police. As Simmons unsuccessfully tries to stop the authorities, the others make it to Woods Hole Marine, where Marinella, Stretch and several other merfolk meet with them, giving Kendra the choice to either return to the sea or remain on land. When Kendra voices her desire to be with Addison wherever she goes, Marinella respects her niece's decision, having decided she can trust the human girl. Stretch volunteers to stay to watch over Kendra, giving her the completed potion which allows her to keep her voice, while warning her that, while she will be able to switch between her mermaid and human forms at will, any large amount of water that comes into contact with her legs will involuntarily revert her to a mermaid. Kendra drinks the potion, and the merfolk take their leave just before the police and Sykes close in on the group. When Sykes is unable to prove the existence of the merfolk, he is sent to a mental hospital. Kendra finally reveals herself to Addison as the mermaid the latter had met underwater as a child, and they look forward to their new lives together, as the sun rises.

but daddy i love him! // theodore nott x fem granger reader

playlist : but daddy i love him - taylor swift

summary : being hermiones slightly younger , less intelligant and more reblellious sister, it is your duty to have a boyfriend no one approves of to match.

y/n used , gryffindor granger reader , swearing

masterlist

"merlin hes so hot" you whined with you head in your hand , staring across the hall at theodore nott.

hermione shuddered in disgust , "yeah and hes a terrible person."

"mione hes really not , just because hes slytherin doesnt mean hes some kind of horrific monster," you rolled your eyes , finally looking away from theodore and looking at hermione across from you.

"dont mix your delusion with reality y/n. him and his friends have bullied us since first year," hermione snapped back.

"whos us? ive never been teased by him before but stay safe i guess," you argued , getting more annoyed by the second.

"you cant be with him y/n , not only does he not do relationships , clearly , hes not good for you!"

"oh but daddy i love him!" you said in a mocking childish tone.

"did you just call hermione daddy?" ron cringed inbetween his quick eating.

"its a little mermaid reference ronald." you said sternly , judging the boys messy consumption of the food on his full plate.

"whats a little mermaid reference?" he mocked.

you, hermione and harry all looked at him with pure shock , forgetting ron wasnt really accustomed to muggle films , "please educate your man mione."

she gasped in pure horror as ron pretened to gag , they both argued over eachother throwing loud defenses and digs at eachother.

"look! i would actually rather die than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning!!" you shouted over them , silencing their arguing as harry nodded along with your statement.

"y/n i dont mean to stir the pot but i dont really think nott is a great partner either," ron said with disgust.

"thanks for that ron! wanna add your two cents harry? seems like everyone cares who i have silly crushes on nowadays!" you fumed , turning to the twins who sat on the table besides you , "good morning george , fred, would you like to give your opinion on theodore nott?"

"hate him," fred stated plainly.

"i always target him in quidditch," george quickly followed with a shrug as you let out a defeated groan.

you turned back to the trio , crossing your arms in anger , "im going to go see ginny , see what she thinks of all this , she always supports me unlike you little goblins!"

"yeah cause ginny has a crush on basically every guy," ron scoffed.

"atleast ginny can admit when she has feeling for someone and doesnt pine on her best friend for years! atleast she isnt in denail!" you said smugly as hermione and ron squirmed in discomfort , blushing.

you abruptly stood up from the table , beginning to stomp away when harry shouted after you , "have a great day mrs nott!"

you turned to look at him , flipping him off before shouting back , "aw you too mr weasley!".

harry blushed as ron looked between the two of you , "shes insane , calling you weasley , what weasley could you possibly marry!"

ron scoffed and continued eating his food as harry scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and exchanged a look with hermione.

---

you now found yourself storming the corridors , looking for ginny when someone fell into step besides you , their deep voice making you shudder.

"hello mrs nott."

you stopped in you tracks and looked besides you in horror , theodore smirked down at you.

"erm hi," you mumbled quietly , face deep red in embarrassment. how could you forget the whole time that theodore had been sat with his friends on the table across from you?!

"dont go all shy on me now , i liked how you defended me." he smirked.

"i was really just joking dont get excited ," you teased , finally shaking your shyness.

"didnt sound like a joke to me? you got really worked up granger," he still held his smug expression , eyes peircing yours even when you didnt look back.

"look nott , i just like picking fights with them its funny to tease them." you shrugged continuing your walk as theodore followed still looking at you the whole time.

"go out with me," he said sternly as you paused again.

"are you being serious?" you said trying to seem not as interested as you truly were.

he grabbed your hand and pulled you to the empty classroom besides you , pushing you against the door to shut it.

he put one hand beside your head on the door and the other playing with your hair and grazing your cheekbone , "dead serious."

you looked at him , finally silent for the first time in your life , your silence allowing him to continue , "you can say you dont like me all you want. that its jokes , that its just to get a reaction. but i think we both know its more than that."

"im not gonna be one of your girls nott , im not like that. sure i have a different type to my sister but that doesnt mean i go for fucking man whores who just wanna get me in their bed."

"ouch , your words hurt me, bella. ive never touched a single girl asides from you. ive waited for you." he said softly.

"basically every person in this school says otherwise nott."

his hand that was resting on the door cleched into a first tightly , "stop calling me nott. its theo to you."

"why do you care?" you asked as his frustration grew.

he stared at you now with cold eyes , danger in them like he was staring at his prey. you simply looked back , folding you arms and watching as his eyes flicked down your face.

"dont play hard to get. you practically announced your love for me a second ago y/n." he mumbled.

"sure. ill go out with you, charity work." you joked as he finally dropped his anger and laughed.

"i like it by the way," he said looking up with a smirk as you stared back with confusion , " 'mrs nott,' it suits you."

"hm i dont know. ive always been kinda progressive , mr granger," you smirked before pushing him away with one hand and walking out of the classroom, leaving him to stare at your figure.

the second you found ginny you practically screamed in her face with excitement , "ginnny you will not BELIEVE IT!!"
