The Time Fisher's Dinner
In a future without fish stock, fishers sail through the past to collect the catch of yesterday. But with 420 millions years of ocean life, even the past runs dry. No fish for tomorrow, they are left stranded in a world with only bugs and moss as extended community.
The children are getting hungry.

Yesterday I got stuff to attend which left me without much time for posting so, today you will get DOUBLE Fun Fact Dumps about the merfolk in "The Lighthouse" AU! This is the first part. Feat Merfolk!Lockdown.
(The pics are from old askbox dynamic I did on IG stories some time ago).
In this part, we will talk about FOOD and habits related to it! Long post with pics ahead:
★ (This pic came after someone asked to give him a fruit gummy x'D)
"Only if the gummies have zero sugar (makes merfolk sick)... and it would need a whole barrel to be satiated."
"Can the gummies be shaped like fish?"
"... Why not."
"By the way, how did it fit there?!"
"Merfolks have elastic bone str--"
"Like cats?"
"Yes, like cats."
★ (Now, in all seriousness: what do merfolks eat?)
"They are carnivorous but we have records that they are capable of eating anything in times of need."
"Merfolks have a preference for nudibranchs, fish similar to tuna, and a specific type of krill in the area where they live."
★ (BONUS: feat Sea Researcher!Ratchet and Merfolk!Drift)
"The few Merfolks we found acted very territorial and competitive... even possessive of the hand that feeds them."
"They often ignore the existence of each other until they cross paths when hunting for food or relocating their dens."
"But there's still a gregarious instinct in them and if there's no other way, they will seek aid from merfolk near their territories."

List of My EOIII OCs Reacting to Being Mugged (from least to most violent)
9.) Smiley
Would bawl her eyes out as she threw her wallet and ran away. If she’s being brave she might give a “Come on………. You don’t want rob a cutie like me.” But she’s a scaredy cat.
8.) Aurora
”Look over there!” Andddddd she’s gone.
7.) Ignis
IF SOMEONE WERE SO DESPERATE FOR MONEY THEY TRIED TO ROB A 6’3’’ ARMORED MAN…. He actually wouldn’t mind and he’d ask why. Then after the mugger either told him their story he’d give him what he had on him. If the mugger thought he was weird for asking, he’d keep prying (genuinely, something is wrong with him. But he’s curious) If the mugger tried attacking him, he’d only move defensively. In the end he would give them some money if they needed it.
6.) Alope
If someone tried to rob Alope she’d squint before she recognized them (BC SHE KNOWS EVERYONE) and go “Oh… I know you! You’re [insert person]’s kid!” They’d have two options from there. A.) fall into Alope’s small talk trap or B.) continue trying to mug her which would prompt her to threaten to tell their loved ones about it/ start teasing them.
But They’d know better. Also everyone knows Alope’s dirt poor. They’d pick better targets.
5.) Magnolia
You know how Alope would threaten to tell the muggers mom? Magnolia would start scolding them as if it were her job to discipline them.
“I understand being in need… But taking from others is reprehensible! You may gain some ental, but your moral backbone…! You would not want to jeopardize that, would you? How about I make you a meal and we can talk about some options for you?”
Only lower than Alope bc Alope wouldn’t scold them, only threaten to have them scolded before running off.
Slightly dangerous territory below
4.) Caspian
Instinctively body slams anyone who attempts to touch her. If the mugger were smart, it’d do them well to recognize her face after she throws them…. She’d pay them much more than she had on her person then if they were really hurt after and apologized.
3.) Tank
He’d warn them that they didn’t want to do this— play mind games, and say “Don’t remember which pocket I put my wallet in” so they have to pat him down. The mugger will be safe if they do not proceed or give up. Tank does all of this to stall them. To stall them until ENID arrives….
Dangerous‼️ Do NOT mug
2.) Enid
Try to mug Enid and Enid will punch the lights out of you even tho they aren’t supposed to carry valuables.
Tank is an insidious monster for stalling muggers long enough for Enid to deal with them. Especially since Enid tends to get more violent if they see someone else getting mugged.
“That’s one more problem off the streets.” No, Enid. You shoved their face into the pavement. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
1.) Hana
Hana would fucking kill anyone who tried to mug her.
“Easy pickings” SHE CAN AND WILL ELECTROCUTE YOU. SHE WON’T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. I HAVE SEVERAL DRAFTS WHERE HANA WILL DO SOMETHING WEIRDLY CRUEL AND NOT CARE.
I’m supposed to write a scene where a thug threatens Alope and I’m forever thinking about how Hana starts charging up a fire spell— and Alope starts to push Hana along bc SHE DOESN’T WANT BLOOD ON HANA’S HANDS.
