What’s your favorite exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium?
Mines the deep sea tank, I could just sit in front of it for hours.
Impossible to decide. It's like deciding on my favorite child.
The entire Into the Deep exhibit is mind-blowing. It sucks that it's only a temporary exhibit, but it'll probably be around for several more years. The first time I saw the Japanese spider crabs there.... I felt like I instantly reverted to a 12 year old. I was 24 LOL
The bottom layer of the Open Seas tank, which is now integrated as the first section of Into the Deep, also deserves a shout-out. When I was a kid I used to lay down on the slanted concrete slab below the titled glass, and you can look directly up and see the undersides of everything that passes by. The Mahi Mahi in particular scatter light in rainbows around them. It's gorgeous. I still do that these days, but it's more brutal on my knees and I'm a tad bit too tall to do it comfortably for long periods of time.
If I have to choose, the shale reef area/deep reef area of the Monterey Bay Habitats tank is my lifelong favorite, though. It's underappreciated alongside all the other exhibits, but there's so much in there that's iconic- but mostly, I love the insane variety of massive rockfish in their, including Boccacios. And then you have the giants of sevengills sharks and giant sea bass swimming over as you fixate on the tiny fish flitting between the ricks. My normie account social media pfp for a long time was the silhouette of me sitting in one of the glass "bubbles" on that tank, staring into the depths beyond. The white plume anemones also remind me of one of my favorite dive sites, which is also nearby.
And of course, ya gotta say hi to Rosa, or her compatriots if she's not in exhibit. It's mandatory.
In general, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is a love letter to California's marine life, and I love it so much.

I gotta say, it's so spooky, but so accurate imagining Floyd treating his darling like a frightened cat he wants to bring inside. (Thinking about the chalk line) it gives him a much higher chance to trigger Stockholm syndrome, so he has the highest chance to have a "real" relationship.
Meanwhile, Jade's like "I'll eat you" 😊 ✌️
This has to send darling spiraling when they are split between the twins 😬😂
Floyd is just so himself, so I think that by extension he’s going to be very authentic when he’s in love. In contrast, Jade just likes to make situations more entertaining and he’s always masking his true feelings behind layers of polite, gentlemanly behavior, so he tends to seem like quite the bully sometimes. But as scary and threatening as Jade is, he has his soft, sweet moments, too!
Together, the twins are bad news because, while Floyd will have his moments where he’s very sweet and kind and doting, he also takes Jade’s side often and will poke fun or tease you lightheartedly or laugh along with whatever fright Jade is subjecting you to. They bounce off of each other like this, either with Jade instigating it or Floyd having started the teasing and Jade merely joins in because it’s fun. I do think in private Floyd will bend down to your height, look you in the eyes, and cheerfully remind you of how much Jade likes shrimpy and that he’d never ever severely hurt shrimpy. He just likes to play; it’s all in good fun, so don’t be so scared all the time. It’ll just be boring if you’re always cowering…
“If he did, I’d kick his ass for ya,” he promises with his usual lopsided grin.
One time Jade had overheard that and he’d smiled so pleasantly at you and Floyd. “You certainly hope you could,” he had said, which immediately got Floyd on his case regarding strength and being equal and whatnot. Floyd pouted about it for the entirety of the afternoon and was so close to sitting beside you behind the chalk line to mope, but you wouldn’t let him. It seems you’re still getting accustomed to him and Jade, but that’s okay. He’ll keep reminding shrimpy that it’s okay and that he and Jade aren’t as scary as you might think.
As terrible as they can be together, the twins are also very affectionate and will spoil you endlessly because they adore you. They both respect the chalk line, and for the instances where Floyd does get angry and it seems like he might take it out on you at least Jade can be there to occasionally remind him that, if he must be angry at something, he should choose to be angry at the fish in the sea so that if he’s feeling like hurting something it can be that day’s dinner. But you can’t always rely on Jade. Jade likes to see how far Floyd might go; he wants to see if you’ll do anything interesting.
There are also the times when the twins get into little spats and refuse to speak to one another if it’s a particularly impactful argument. Floyd usually puts his foot down if he thinks Jade’s gone too far in tormenting you, which is usually if Jade’s made you cry. Seeing you cry always affects Floyd and tugs on his heart. He gets really irritable when you cry and he’ll stand protectively in front of you, meeting Jade’s stare with a fierce glare, and the two of them will go back and forth about how “it’s all in good fun” and “making shrimpy cry isn’t cool.” When they get into these disagreements, Floyd’s mood usually sours and he’ll slink off to be alone after a while. He doesn’t like bickering with Jade or giving him the silent treatment. He likes to be connected to his loved ones, not separated. And though Jade can pretend to be unbothered, he also doesn’t like experiencing the rifts that may occasionally form when they argue.
You always seem to be the glue that brings them back to their senses and has them apologizing and making up to one another. Living alongside them means you’ll see many sides to their dynamic as family and disagreements are bound to occur every now and then. But most often the twins always get along; it’s just that there will be some moments where they don’t always see eye to eye.
Both Jade and Floyd will sleep in front of the chalk line on their mattresses so that they can be closer to you. It would be ideal if the lot of you could share a bed and cuddle without the barrier, but they can settle for these unique slumber parties. Jade is patient and Floyd is slowly learning to be patient. They suppose having you with them is what’s most important.

Animal Crossing Fish - Explained #200
Brought to you by a marine biologist and...holy hell, 200?!!
CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!
Well, I’d like to commemorate this momentous occasion by covering a really interesting creature that was featured in AC Pocket Camp and that is the Opah. I’m a little biased here because I just love weird fish, especially deep sea species we don’t really know a lot about. It’s about the mystery. So, I’ll do my best to cover this amazing thing. If you want to know why we don’t have a lot of information into deep sea fish, check out my coverage of ACNH’s museum tour of the deep sea tank.
Tumblr media
The Opah appeared in AC Pocket Camp for Fishing Tourney 40, which occurred in July 2021. Like I mentioned in the last entry, it appears that ACPC is less concerned with the actual temperature range or habitat of the fish it chooses for what events. The Opah is considered a deep-sea species, or at least an open ocean species that just doesn’t come close to land. It often lives at depths where the water temperature is around 4º C (about 39º F), which is, ya know, not a balmy summer temperature. Although Opahs as a group have a cosmopolitan distribution (aka they are found all around the world, including tropical areas) they tend to stay deep where the water is cool and sunlight can’t reach.
Anyway, the Opah is a pretty unique fish. It belongs to the Order Lampriformes, a small group of fish that include mostly deep-sea and pelagic species. The Order’s name comes from the Opah’s round shape and brilliantly-colored fins and skin, though most Lamprids are more long and slender, with most fish in the Order belonging to the “ribbonfish” clade, for which the infamous Oarfish is a part. That being said, Opahs exist apart from their cousins in the Lampridae family, which only houses one Genus, Lampris. For much of the time we’ve known that Opahs existed, we accepted that there were two species within this Genus. However, in recent years, Lampris guttatus, the comsopolitan species, has been broken up so that there are now six species with more limited ranges. As I’m sure AC Pocket Camp wouldn’t recognize this, not to mention the study occurred in 2018 after ACPC was released, I’m pretty confident this is simply Lampris guttatus, or the (original) Opah. 
Tumblr media
Ralph Pace (NOAA Fisheries), Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
So, despite the fact they look a bit goofy and fat, these fish are actually really fast and exhibit endothermy, or warm-bloodedness. In fact, the Opah is the only fish we’ve discovered so far that has whole-body endothermy, in which all of its internal organs and muscles are kept at temperatures higher than the surrounding water. (Please note, this is still unlike birds and mammals that keep their warmth at a constant temperature - the Opah’s body temp still fluctuates.)  On top of that, Opah also exhibit regional endothermy, or the act of keeping some parts of the body warmer than others. This type of endothermy is more akin to billfish, tuna, and lamnid sharks (like the great white, porbeagle, salmon, and makos). This type of endothermy usually keeps the eyes, brain, and swimming muscles at an elevated temperature which helps these fish remain active hunters in colder waters. So, unlike most deep-sea fish, the Opah doesn’t just float around in the dark waiting for prey to come to it - it has the power and energy to seek out and chase down its food, which often includes squid and smaller fish.
And there you have it. Fascinating stuff, no?

Also, another question! Since it'd have to be an animal, plant or mineral (or something along those lines), what would you name your OCs if they were to become cast members? 👀✨️
👀👀👀👀 wonderful question!!!
Tumblr media
zinnia actually already using what arguably would be her stage name,since is not her actual name n for the most part only uses it on starless+ only started using it once she joined starless. Quite a adamant to tell people her real name too. she wont admit it and i wont admit it either but she choose it bcuz the simp council decided her dear childhood friend once related her red eyes to zinnias n here we are fucking simping
Tumblr media
kiri...fucking kiri give me hell and back to choose her name bcuz i aggresively wanted her to be name after the foxglove tree n thxs to my friend(who help me out with like all this names uhuhu if she sees this,ily fam,loving malding over kanjis) we just decided she can be a lazy ass n just tied the first two letter of her bam you have kiri=paulownia tomentosa=foxglove but can see kiri wanting to shake things a lil and her alternate would be another simple one n the most straight foward one= kitsune LMAO but tbf shes already call herself that too in her chuuni talk so if you ask her to choose smt completly new she will pout n absolutely proceeds to ignore you
Tumblr media
io= fish(but like cant rmmbr if io specifically was the one ment fish or her full name but anyways) unlike kiri weres a lil more elaborate bcuz is the first two letter of her first n last name...io just lmao im to lazy just slap io in there (but her full first name means jewel fish which fits considering shes very sea/mermaid theme) but another alternative i feel like if she was lazying around,didnt want to use her actual nickname n actually got serious would be Rarimā /ラリマー = which is just,for my understanding, a rare gemstone call larimar!!!
Tumblr media
funny how the detective is the only one who doesnt go by nickname n she actually introduce herself as Adami LMAO she has a nickname base upon her name like io and kiri but she would consider it to casual+personal so if she choose a stage name she would actually put some thought to it(lmao once again my bestie help me out,actually she also help me with io LMAO @/galaxxies18 thxs again) 花崗岩/Kakougan= basically granite! and to add it up galaxxie realize the kanji= 崗 could be used to reference "policeman on patrol" so ya know thats fun immeditly picks that name LMAO

February 4
I feel sick.
Apparently, my roof-camping days are over.
Oh sigh.
I’m in bed right now, trying my hardest to taste something in my grandmother’s famous lemon-honey tea as she talks with the town’s herbalist downstairs.
But I’m strong enough to walk around, don’t worry! In fact, If I were there in front of you, I’d be flexing my muscles.
(Not that I have big ones. I’m a sad noodle arm guy. Oh sigh.)
Enough about my woe; I have a Viewfinder!
It was my stepdad’s new years’ present to me, along with a box of reels. It came in today!
My favourite ones are the space ones, the sea ones, and the ones with flower fields- I think from Amsterdam? 
It’s like I’m really there, floating through space or swimming with the tropical fishes.
“Saki-kun, someone’s here to see you! They’ll be coming up in a minute!”
My heart jumped a bit as your face formed in my mind. Good thing I was already red in the face, thanks to my fever, because if you walked in on a blushing, red-faced Ichigatsu, I would die.
Shrrr. You peek your head in the room. “hey, Ichigo-san. I heard you were sick. Uh… I brought you some food that my aunt said would be good for you...”
I turn my head towards the sliding door, and up at you. 
“Hai…” I croaked, then coughed a bit. You got down on your knees, and levelled your face with mine.
The fact that we were so close our noses could touch had my fever go up a degree. And i don’t think it was because I was getting sicker.
“You…have really nice eyes…” You whispered, more to yourself than to me.
+1 degree. Boy, you trying to fry my brains?
“U-uh… well, are you hungry?” 
Ha! Your cheeks were dusted pink too! Small victories are better than none.
“Ya..” 
You ran down the stairs, and I heard murmuring somewhere in the house. Soon I heard your quick footsteps ascend the stairs, and you had SO many containers of food. I can not emphasise just how many you had.
“I made as much as I could, cuz y’know, tastes are different.”
“Tank yoo.” ugh, it was a bother just to even talk.
Soon it smelled like a buffet. There was just so much to choose from. 
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrAGhhhh….
I groaned and covered my face. Not only was I sick, but my stomach had to make minecraft zombie sounds. In front of you.
“Unnngh…”
“Here, I’ll feed you. Pay me back with something cool, okay? Thats two things you aught to compensate me for.” You reach for me and try to situate my languid body in your lap.
I’m dead. Dead. Thats it, you’ve killed me. 
In hindsight, I must’ve been a pretty lucky guy, getting a cute neighbour to make me all these foods and then feeding me while saying (very cutely) “pay me back with something cool, okay?”
If this were an anime I’d have spirals for eyes and steam rising out of my head. You sure you don’t have a criminal record?
“Aaaahn….” I take whatever it was you were offering me. Warm, pungent flavours penetrated my useless tongue, and I could finally taste things again.
“Mmmmmnnnn. Isho goo…” munch munch munch. The texture reminded me of cold soba, or those really thick noodles my mom made once.
I wanted more, It was really, really good.
We went through about three big cartons of the mystery food.
While we were eating, you told me about more cool places, like the Boardwalk, where most kids crowd with there nets and buckets. You also told me that Fuji park always hosts a big new years feast, since the town was founded on New Year’s Day. 
There was also the Library (“the librarian always gushes about you.” “weeawy?”), Sen-Bun Cafe (“the only interesting cafe here, their melonpan is the best.”) and Our Spot. (Was it just me, or did you flush a little while saying that?)
I showed you my Viewfinder, and with the way your face lit up, I was so tempted to check and see if the sun was still in the sky.
“Mmm…tank yu for comingh..” I laid back on your chest, full of the food you brought.
“U-um.. y-yeah, you’re welcome…I gotta make sure my neighbour’s okay, right?”
Outside the window, snow started to fall, lightly, as if it were just taking its time, enjoying its descent until i joined with the rest below. I rested my eyes on that sight, and it felt like I was dreaming, the warm fuzziness of slipping away.
But I felt your head rest on mine, and you hugged my waist. I was instantly dragged back to the real world. And Honestly? Reality doesn’t seem so bad right now.
“It’s so peaceful, the way snow flurries just fall.. Like they don’t have a care in the world.” you whisper to me.  “You know, I always imagine that the snow holds the essence of our ancestors, coming down to visit and showering us with comfort…and sometimes…” you set me back down on my futon, and opened the window, holding out your hand briefly. You bring it back in, watching the flurries melt in in the warmth of your hand.
“Sometimes I think about becoming snow, too…. Then I’ll get to be everywhere, all the time, forever and ever. I’d evaporate, turn into rain…” you close the window. “And be part of the world…”
I don’t know if I was imagining it, but…
It looked like there were tears in your eyes.

Don’t worry mate, they will soon run out of iron ore and stop. In this monster transformer war big robots need ore and metals. A lot. Much more than human bean civilization.
And also he was like Robin Hood. Once he brought his expensive camera to the property of one bad farmer. “Hey I wanna make documentaries with you near the gates on the entrance of your property when you come back with groceries!” he says and then shoots his mini crossbow to the bad guy leg (ass? right hand?) filming it
His name was Ruber Bullett. He actually had mini machine gun with rubber bullets in it. And yes, he was a punisher. It hurts a lot when he shoots 128 rubber bullets in ya mate, you literally suffer and fall on the floor shaking in shock.
- It’s a poisoned arrow. I have the antidote. Now give me my money. It’s a very good shot, and sunset light is perfect on your face. This episode is gonna be very popular.
Don’t fuck with Ruber Bullett.
We are civilization of hydrolysis. We took out heavy metals from the ocean and have built heavy stuff. Like crossbows and mini machine guns. We dig out micro plastic and build our trimaran centipede out of it. We feed ourselves with algae. 3D printers cook for us while we navigate. “Why do you always imitate meat dishes of pre-modern humans?” Because fuck you, would you buy fluorescent jelly with just list of nutrients on it?
Okay, we have to buy seven green fluorescent globulas and three purple brewed blobs. One pint of yellow yeast resin. Eleven potassium mini cartillago. Edible 3D printed cartillagos with taste of sea breeze.
Brand name is Medusa78, they sell artificial jelly fish made by oceanic craftsmen from trimaran centipede.
We live on Trimaran Centipede Drive 75, it’s a middle section closer to the tail. Our vessel is called Bittern. It’s relatively small hydrofoil with just three cabins and huge solar cell canopy. Next one is Egret and previous one is Peregrine. All 128 vessels are called after water birds names. First one is the biggest and her name is Pelican.
We build them under water with lasers. Every “bird” has 3D model with multiple layers and depending on which layer we are synthesizing, lasers extract certain element and build a skeleton inside another skeleton. Like iron or copper. Or carbon. Or plastic. Or glass. It is similar to cooking underwater and we always choose places polluted with elements we need more at the moment.
They are all different, all birds. But they are all hydrofoil trimarans connected altogether with joints. Build by unleashed AI. There was a war between AI and humankind, and after heavy struggles AI was tamed and put out deep on the oceanic bottom to create spaceships under heavy pressure, but it kinda freaked out because of the pressure and started to laser print weird autonomic creatures looking like trimaran hydrofoils, and people just started to live on them in the ocean, connecting them together to form a power station feeding on rocking waves and sunshine.

Exploring The Untamed Beauty: Unforgettable Cape York Tours
Cape York is an untamed, wild land. It’s a place of striking beauty and rugged terrain that surprises you with its hidden treasures. If you’ve never been to Cape York, here are some unforgettable Cairns to Cape York tours that will open your eyes to the real Aussie outback.
The Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the largest living structures in the world, stretching over 2,300 kilometers along Australia's northeast coast. It contains over 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands.
It's also home to a staggering array of marine life, including more than 1,500 species of fish (including sharks), six types of sea turtles, and more than 30 species of whales and dolphins.
The Great Barrier Reef is important for Australia's economy as well: it generates $4 billion annually from tourism alone, according to data from 2013-14 by Deloitte Access Economics; it also supports 64,000 jobs directly through businesses that rely on tourism or indirectly through associated industries like fishing or transport services
Cape York Peninsula
The Cape York Peninsula is the most northern part of Australia. It's a remote and rugged area, home to many Indigenous people, wildlife, and plants.
It's also home to a number of mining operations, which have been controversial. The area is rich in mineral deposits and has long been mined for gold, copper, and uranium.
The mining industry has a large impact on the environment, and there have been many protests against it. The area is also home to Australia’s largest dump, which has been controversial due to its proximity to homes and schools.
Tumblr media
Torres Strait Islander Culture
The Torres Strait Islands are located in the northern part of Queensland, Australia. The indigenous inhabitants of these islands are known as Torres Strait Islanders and they have a rich culture that dates back thousands of years.
The Torres Strait Islanders have their own language called Kala Lagaw Ya which means "good speech" or "good words". They also have their own dances such as Kalau (traditional dance) and Nakamal (ceremonial).
The Torres Strait Islands have many attractions that will surely leave you in awe. One of which is the Boomerang Beach. This beach was formed by the tides and has a unique shape, hence the name "Boomerang". You can also find some beautiful wildlife such as turtles while exploring these islands.
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
Snorkeling is a great way to get an up-close look at the reef. The best time to snorkel is in the morning when you can see more marine life and have better visibility. The water is warmer in the morning as well, making it an excellent choice for those who don't want to get cold! 
If you don't have your own gear, many resorts rent snorkels and fins for a small fee--just ask at reception before setting out on your trip!
If you're looking for something more adventurous, try a boat trip. If you're staying at an all-inclusive resort, they may offer this as part of your stay. 
You can also hire a private boat if you have a large group, or if you don't have time to make reservations with the resort. There are many different types of boats available--some just go around the island while others go further out into the ocean.
Conclusion
We hope you've enjoyed reading about our favorite cape york tours. We know how hard it is to choose just one, but we're confident that whichever experience you choose, it will be unforgettable!

Hello! I saw that requests were open and I was wondering if I could request the demon brothers from Obey Me! (separately) with a mermaid s/o? The brothers are unaware that their s/o is a mermaid since they hid themself amongst humans and pretended to be one. But since they’re in the Devildom and they miss the ocean, they’ll take really long baths in the bathroom while in their mermaid form whenever they can. Maybe the brothers find out they’re a mermaid when they accidentally see their s/o in their mermaid form? Gender-neutral please! And sorry if this is kinda a long request. I love your work and I hope you have a lovely day! Thank you! ❤️
Aww, I'm glad you like my work thank you for requesting it! And don't worry I love long requests it really helps me when it comes to writing! I will also say this is technically against my rules as I only write for 6 at a time but I will make an exception only for the Obey Me brothers just please keep that in mind. - Lilly
Set up
It's been a rough week the heat in the Deilvdom Is already above average but this past week has been the worst it's almost unbearable and I want nothing more then to get home so I can soak myself for a while. I've been doing that most days anyway but now it's more out of need than a want. Another hot day and another need for a long bath only this time I would get to relax for even longer! 'Everyone should still be at RAD for the meeting" With how hot it was Diavolo said it would be okay for me to head back so I didn't risk passing out so I would have at least an extra hour before anyone got home! Fully submerged in cool water my Iridescent tail just slightly hanging out I let myself unwind from the week. "Other than the heat things have been good I've kept my grades high and tomorrow we'll be going on a date" My lips pull into a smile as I muse not noticing the sound of knocking or the worried voice of my partner calling out to me it seems only natural this would happen one day but opening my eyes to the shocked face of my lover wasn't how I planned it.
Lucifer
Though fully shocked by the news that you're apparently a kind of merfolk he is also in stunned awe
It might take him a few moments but once he recomposes himself he'll jump straight to questioning you on things
He's not mad not even really a little angry that you kept this from him he just wants to know why and how you hid it....did Diavolo know?!
After you answer his questions he just stands there in amazement as a human he thought you the most beautiful being and now you're also like a shining star
You also have no idea how much pride this man has when he finds out you wanted to tell him and only him for a while now
He does get a little shy about a desire he now has but he still tells you about it (it's wanting to see and swim with you in the ocean)
" My my and here I thought you couldn't surprise me anymore then you already have you truly are my most special one huh?
Mammon
So flustered I mean what was he supposed to do you're in the tub and oh...oh you're a merfolk
He doesn't fully know how to process this information but man he knows he's happy and a little upset
Ask tons of questions and most of them are about why and how you hid this from him
Once that's out of the way Mammon is so excited you've been his number one since before you even started dating but knowing this secret about you and being the only one to know even if it was an accident makes him so happy
You get a new nickname then and there and it's His Sea Jewel though he still calls you his human to cause duh
He plans to take you to the ocean whenever he can just so you be fully yourself and enjoy not being in such a small tub( he might even bribe Asmo so you can use his tub too)
"I always knew you were a treasure but babe this is something else ya know"
Leviathan
:o that's him when he sees your tail, You're a sea dweller like him!!!!
Not even really gonna wonder why you didn't tell him he just gonna make sure you haven't told anyone else
Guess what your new couple's activity is! It's swimming in his aquarium room him in his demon form and you in your merfolk from
Is now a hype man for you talking up how cool it is that you are really a merperson and how it's just like the anime my best friend turned out to be a mermaid!
Will not even think about telling his brothers this is his secret with you now no one else should know unless you want to tell them..
Please let him help clean your tail and fins he will do everything you (⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Satan
He walks out right away and it won't dawn on him at first that you're a merfolk until he's out of the room
Does tons of research on mermaids and merpeople in general
He's hyper-focused on it for a bit and honesty prefers if you want to tell the others because he can brag that you're all his
Teasing calls you catfish and lovingly calls you jellyfish don't ask why
Is really scared now of bringing you with him to play with cats or showing you the cats he brings in thanks to slightly fearing they may try to eat you
enjoys sitting in the tub with you while you stay in your full form even if you like the water cold if it means holding you like this he won't mind
" What a wonderful surprise my dear jellyfish if you ever want to go see the ocean just let me know it will be our vacation plans"
Asmodeus
At first, he was just happy to see enjoying your time and then he saw the tail
He so excited his partner the second most beautiful person in all the Devildom and the most beautiful human is actually a beautiful merfolk
Will not question it at all he understand why you might want to hide it and that Diavolo probably already knew so he's not worried
Asmo already called you many sweet nicknames but his new favorite is Angle fish
Now that he knows he becomes far more committed to helping you out with a beauty routine after all merpeople can't risk their fins and scales drying or being hurt
If you're okay with it he'll want to post about you in your true form mostly bragging about how amazing you are
" I didn't think you could be any more gorgeous yet here you are angle fish glimmering like a clear night star"
Beelzebub
His first thing after seeing you like this is to be worried you're in the heat so often are you ok?
Beel isn't really fazed by the fact you've been hiding this he's just happy you don't mind him knowing
Won't say a word to anyone unless you want him to but will ask if he can at least tell Belphie
He will go to the beach with you whenever you want and starts to take you with him to work out his gym has a huge swimming pool you can use
Really wants to know about food you like now did you enjoy fish or other types of seafood if so raw or cooked he'll plan a dinner for you
Beel will still call you cupcake but sometimes when he wants to tease you he calls you sushi and if anyone calls you that in a mocking way he will fight
" I've always like carrying you around but now I have even more reasons to"
Belphegor
Doesn't ever notice you have a tail he just wanted to know why you were in the bath for so long
Is both in awe and also doesn't care thanks to you he became ok with humans again and even though he knows you're not really one you clearly choose to live like you are
Is fine with keeping it a secret but will also be real smug if you tell people cause now people think your even cooler but your all his
He can sleep anywhere and thought he wont be in the tub with you he will hold your hand and rub your tail while he sits on the ground and naps
Doesn't like going to the beach much but if you really wanna go hell come with you just to see having fun
Will whole heartedly defend you and fight for you if someone finds out and picks on you or if any of his brothers bother you
" Who would've guessed that you would be such a magical person and to not just that but that even being who you are you still choose me"
Okay I hope that this was to your liking and thank you for reading! And a huge thank you to my best friend @bird-brained-plague-doctor for helping me with some of the ideas used!!!!

The year is 1866. When John becomes swept overboard, he never expects to encounter a living creature of myth. When the merman absconds with John, the lost sailor must use every tool at his disposal to convince Sherlock not to kill him. But it seems that killing John Watson is not what the deadly, beautiful creature has in mind at all...

John Watson never set out to become a veterinary doctor. It was what you might call the natural order of things. Running a marine rehabilitation centre in the English countryside takes up his whole life, but John could never begin to imagine the way everything would change when something different washes up on his beach.

However, it doesn't take long for John to grow attached to the fascinating pirate, and what started off as a mutually hateful relationship soon blossoms into something more. Together they navigate the threat of Moriarty, a jealous Victor Trevor, swashbuckling adventure, elaborate evil plans, ocean storms, saving each others lives countless times all while the romantic tension between them increases by the day.

Got into Descendants again, blame @a-e-g-g for that, and there’s a serious lack of Sea Three at Auradon!AU fics. And with that I of course mean that instead of the Core Four or whatever, Uma, Harry, and Gil got sent to Auradon during D1. Plus Freddie Facilier, just because I like her and she deserves some fun.
So anyways, The Sea Three + Freddie (I will just call them the CF, aka Sea Freddie) arrive in Auradon. Harry had to practically fight his sisters to be the one to go, Freddie was chosen over Celia since she’s older, and Gil got to go over his brothers since he’s kinder and could possibly “Put in a good word” with Belle, as his father said, and Uma is an only child so duh. It’s a bit weird for the three life long friends to have a scam artist there with them, but Freddie is too busy sorting her cards to care about them.
There’s no tension with Audrey when they arrive, Uma barely acknowledged her existence at all, or Ben’s as a matter of fact. Yeah, if you came here for some Uma X Ben thing to happen, then I’m going to disappoint ya. I can’t see Uma romantically with anyone, so yeah.
Harry is instead the one who gets it on with Ben. He flirts with him constantly (He flirts with everyone, but Ben especially), he takes him out on little adventures, and he teaches him how to spar like a pirate. Ben slowly starts to fall for him and his adventurous and impulsive ways, eventually breaking it off with Audrey when he realizes it’s more than just a crush. The two go on a date at the magical lake, and it’s sweet.
Uma’s storyline would instead be the sea. Of course they were all still sent there with the mission to get the wand and take over Auradon, and while waiting for the right time Uma spends a lot of time in the ocean. She meets fishes she’s never seen before, sea plants she’s never heard of, and even kind of befriends the mermaid Arabella, daughter of Alana and niece of Ariel.
Gil’s storyline would revolve around being himself. He’d join Tourney, because of course, but would also take many other extra curricular activities, such as textile, and baking, and embroidery. As a child everything that wasn’t “Manly” was frowned upon, but he’d always thought that was stupid. So now when given the chance, he chooses to just be. He befriends Lonnie, a girl also burdened with the expectations of her gender by society, and the two bond a lot! (Shit I might ship that now). Gil meets Beast and Belle during that parent day or whatever, and are pleasantly surprised by the polite boy.
Freddie is meanwhile vibing. She’s got access to her voodoo magic now that she’s of the isle, and she’s exploiting it like hell. Many of Auradon prep frown upon her odd antics, but some people come to her for help, one of which being Jane. Jane is magic herself, but was never allowed to use it since her mother has left it in the past. She wishes to make herself more beautiful, and Freddie does! Well as much as she can do, she fixes her hair. Yeah, in this story, Freddie is the only to start the makeover gig thing, purely for the money. Not at all because that pretty brunette was looking at her with such sweet eyes when she first confessed that she was unhappy, nope not at all (Shit I’m shipping Freddie and Jane now too what the hell).
It all eventually climaxes during the coronation, which I will be moving outside for this to work. Thing like, that boat setting in D2. Harry is right beside Ben when he’s coronated, feeling awful over knowing what he will have to do. Fortunately, Jane steals the wand instead, not only in hope of being beautiful but also in hope of connecting with her magic roots like Freddie did. Uma steals the wand, but not before it opens up a hole in the barrier, allowing Ursula to slip through.
What makes Uma turn to good is her love for the sea, and the knowledge that it would suffer under her Mother’s rule. She wants to protect her sea brethren, even if it means betraying her own blood.
Gil’s turn comes from the freedom he’s gotten from his own family, and the pressure they’ve put on him. He loves cooking, and sewing, and knitting, just as much as he loves being a pirate.
Freddie’s turn comes from seeing the tears running down Jane’s face. She’s so small, and innocent, and pure. The world needs more people like Jane, and that wouldn’t happen if their parents took over. She loves her father and sister, but she knows that freeing them and everyone on the isle would not bring upon anything good.
And Harry…Harry just wants to be with Ben. I know I haven’t talked a lot about them in this post, but Ben and Harry would truly be he core of this story. Their love wouldn’t be destiny, or fate, or anything like that. It’d be new, and random, and exciting, something that they both crave. Ben is the one who brought Harry freedom from the Isle’s barrier, but Harry is the one who brought him freedom from his own meaningless life.
Well, sweet, but oh no Ursula is here and ready to fight. This is also why we needed the water, otherwise this definitely wouldn’t work because she’s a fucking octopus thing.
Anyways, they use the wand to defeat Ursula who’s transformed into a small baby squid that Uma puts in a water filled glass jar, they all dance and stuff, but as it always goes with Descendants-
You didn’t think this was the end of the story, did you?
ANYWAYS
This was fun, I’ll probably make one for Descendants two. Let’s see how that goes tho, considering Harry is the one dating Ben, but Uma being the one who would need to go back.
Also, the reason they didn’t use a live potion on Ben or smt, is because I’ve always found that part of the story really disturbing, and it’s so weird that it’s never brought up again. So yeah, true love whoooo
And if ur wondering, yes Harry was just using Ben at first but he did eventually fall in love and stuff

Romance Dawn for the East Blue
Inspired by @feriowind‘s blessed tweet about Yamato winding up on Dawn Island :)
Enjoy 4k words of the 4 brothers driving everyone  crazy :D
[Read on AO3 or below the cut]
----------
Slowly blinking awake, Yamato struggled to remember why he was lying on the beach of some strange island, the smell of sea salt and trash mixing in the air into something almost worse than the confines of his prison of Onigashima. Almost. It was still freedom after all, and Yamato would gladly take this disgusting smell over his father threatening to place bombs on his wrists.
Looking around groggily, his eyes finally fell on the sad, wooden remains of a small boat, a boat that Yamato had been using to sail this unfamiliar sea during the past weeks. And he finally remembered the terrible events that had led him to this island.
 Yes, it was a dark, stormy night, the likes of which Yamato had never seen even in the unpredictable New World, and definitely not since his escape in the peaceful and calm East Blue. He had fought to keep his boat from capsizing, fighting against the strong winds and ocean currents all by himself for hours… but then suddenly, a Neptunian so large it could only have come from the Calm Belt appeared. Yamato had managed to fight it off but unfortunately, his boat suffered too much damage from the power of his Thunder Bagua. He was then forced to swim to the nearest shore with the last bits of strength he had left—
"I saw the Lord of the Coast attack the fishing boat this person was sleeping in. It was really funny, when they woke up, they screamed so loud I think even the people in Fuusha heard. And then they fell in the water while trying to stand up. But the idiot apparently can't swim so I had to go fish them out."
Yamato froze in place at the boyish voice who was retelling his heroic battle so rudely. Wasn't he allowed to at least pretend?  
Another boy, this one sounding even younger, started snickering then. "I like this person, Sabo! They’re so funny!"
"Luffy, you're the last one who should be laughing here," a third voice sighed. "Anchor boy." Yamato could almost hear the cheeky smirk on his face as he teased this 'Luffy'.
“Don’t call me that!” the youngest one cried, sounding like he was about to fight the other boy.
“Ace, don’t provoke him,” the first boy chided. “You’ll wake the idiot with your fighting.”
That was it.
“Will you stop calling me an idiot?!” Yamato shouted as he sprung up to a sitting position, an embarrassed blush on his face.
They all paused at the sudden movement, blinking up at him in shock. Yamato glowered at them one by one, taking note of how tiny these kids were—the blond and the freckled one looked no older than 12, while the other could be maybe 8. The blond was the only one dripping in water, just as much as Yamato himself was, and Yamato could only assume this was Sabo, the one who had pulled him out of the water. That would make Freckles ‘Ace’, and the youngest one ‘Luffy’.
Yamato had to wonder, though, how Sabo was able to save him all by himself. Yamato was 16 years old, a lot older than however old these boys were, and he was Kaido’s son—meaning he was already much taller than some adults. Although, he supposed he had seen stranger things and people a lot stronger than a human their size should have been. An image of Oden during his execution came to mind immediately but Yamato quickly chased the memory away.
“Oh look, the idiot’s awake,” Ace said lazily, looking thoroughly unimpressed by Yamato’s glare and simply returning it with one of his own.
Luffy, on the other hand, grinned brightly, hopping over to Yamato to stare up at him with stars in his eyes. “Are those horns? Real ones?”
Blinking, Yamato’s hand automatically reached up to touch one of his horns. “Yeah?” he replied slowly, unsure of what he was supposed to say. Was it that weird to people not from the Grand Line to see someone with features like this?
“That’s so cool! Join my pirate crew!” His grin only widened with his request—or demand.
Yamato tilted his head to the side. “You have a pirate crew?” he asked, genuinely curious.
“Well, not yet,” Luffy said, a small pout appearing on his lips. “But eventually, I will be the Pirate King so of course I will have one!” he announced looking so proud and sure of himself and Yamato felt his lips twitch upward.
“Sure, King, I’ll tag along with you,” he laughed, seeing no harm in indulging the adorable kid. And who knew? Maybe he really would end up sailing with him. After all, in 12 years, the Nine Red Scabbards would come back to Wano and Yamato needed to be back there by then. He needed to help open the country.
And who was to say he couldn’t bring the Pirate King with him?
Sabo clicked his tongue then, walking up to Luffy and ruffling his hair. “Stop that, you don’t even know this person’s name.”
“Oh right,” Yamato said, hitting t he palm of his hand with his fist in sudden realization. “Sorry. I’m Kozuki Oden. You can also call me Yamato. Son of Kaido. Thanks for helping me.”
----------
“Ace! Luffy! What’s the meaning of this?!”
Yamato groaned; always a wonderful way to wake up. “Are you drunk again, you bull-gorilla? Go away it’s too early for this,” he shouted back, not even bothering to open his eyes.
There was a moment of silence until someone stomped over to stand right above Yamato’s head. “What did you just call me, you brat?”
Finally, Yamato blinked up at the person with long ginger hair, a cigarette between their lips, and looking decidedly female. He closed his eyes again, mumbling, “Oh you’re not my father. Whatever then.” As soon as he was done, he pulled his blanket over his head to try and get some more peace and quiet.
It might not have been his father but it still was too early for this.
“Dadan, shut up,” some one whined from somewhere around halfway down Yamato’s body.
“Yeah, what’s the problem?” another person joined in, their voice coming from Yamato’s other side.
Oh right. Ace, Sabo, and Luffy had brought him back to their place last night; this had to be the nasty old hag they mentioned. Definitely seemed like one.
“First Garp drops you two on me, then you bring in more and more kids with you? What do you expect me to do, this isn’t a daycare!” It sounded like the woman was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Finally, Sabo spoke up, sounding about as sleepy as Yamato felt, “Dadan, this is our brother, Yamao. Yamao, Dadan.” With that, he flopped back down, his head coming to rest against Yamato’s thigh.
“I’m not a pillow, you three!” Yamato snapped upon the realization of how the boys were laying with their limbs thrown all over the place, Yamato’s own body included. “And it’s Ya-ma-to,” he added with a sigh, already giving giving up on convincing them to not use Luffy’s nickname.
“Where the hell did you manage to pick up another brother,” Dadan complained and Yamato was starting to feel a little sorry for her. He had to admit that dealing with these three was like fighting a hurricane and it hasn’t even been 24 hours since he met them. At least now he was there, a responsible teenager to keep them in check. She should really be grateful he happened to… choose this island to land on.
“Alright, kid. I don’t care who you are you where you came from—” the woman paused, folding her arms over her chest as she stared down and Yamato— “but I will not feed you. One bowl of rice per day is all I can guarantee you.”
Yamato laughed, “That’s not necessary. Oden could do it, I would be a disgrace if I couldn’t take care of myself and my brothers, too.”
Dadan stared at him for a moment, blinking once, twice, before she threw he hands up in frustration. As she walked away, Yamato could hear her mumbling to herself about stupid brats who couldn’t be phased by anything and how she was going to ‘let Garp have it’ the next time he ‘bothered to show his sorry ass’ there.
Yamato simply shrugged and went back to sleep.
----------
Life on Dawn Island turned out to be surprisingly easy and, even more surprisingly, fun. It didn’t take Yamato long to get to know the forest, the mountain, and the Grey Terminal beyond it, running around the place with his little brothers like he was born there with them.
“Yamao, where are you going, that’s the opposite direction!” Sabo called after him in exasperation, pointing the right way.  
A few days after his arrival, he went to retrieve his kanabo from the waters just off the shore. Ace had looked at him, asking why he was so desperate if it was the same weapon the father he so hated used and Yamato couldn’t admit he had a point but… he simply didn’t feel right without it. It was his weapon as well now, and the bull-gorilla wouldn’t take that away from him.
It took him three hours of diving but the happiness and rightness of his kanabo next to him was well worth the effort.
“What are you two anchors doing?” Ace shouted from where he was in the water and towards the two at the beach, looking incredibly annoyed.  
Yamato and Luffy exchanged a glance before turning back to Ace and replying in unison, “Building a pirate ship from sand.”  
Just then, Sabo’s head popped out of the water next to Ace. “I need a break,” he gasped, struggling to catch his breath after being underwater for so long.  
“This club of yours better be made from gold, Yamao, or so help me,” Ace grumbled before leaving Sabo to rest and diving in instead.  
Once he had his kanabo in hand, it became incredibly easy to hunt even the most ferocious beasts around, allowing Yamato enough room to stay back and direct the young brothers, giving them pointers and helping them with their hunting techniques. Usually, he simply watched, letting the boys do most of the hunt, even if it meant the prey got away sometimes. After all, making mistakes and losing was a good way to get stronger. So he let them do their own thing while making sure they were okay, and only jumping in when necessary.
“Okay, here’s the plan. We go around the river, then we split up. Me and Luffy will go up while you and Ace follow the riverbed. It’s risky, but on my signal, you will catch its attention and keep it distracted. Then me and Luffy jump down at its head. Hopefully that will at least knock it out so you and Ace can then come help us finish it. And Yamao—” Sabo paused, giving Yamato a hard, subtly threatening look— “if you run ahead screaming and scare it off again, we’re having you for dinner.” 
Yamato could only gulp and nod obediently.  
He even managed to impress the local Madonna, the cute pub owner Makino. The first time she had come to visit after Yamato had arrived, she immediately dropped all the food, alcohol, and children’s clothes that she had brought, and ran straight to him. She gave him all of her attention the rest of her stay. And even though Yamato wasn’t interested, he had to admit that being fawned over, and especially the jealous stares all the bandits were giving him, felt great.
“Oh my,” Makino muttered when she noticed Yamato. “Luffy did say Yamao was a little taller than him but…” she trailed off, her expression turning troubled.  
“You don’t have any clothes big enough for him, do you?” Dogra asked, munching on one of the cones Makino had brought.  
The young woman shook her head, sighing, “I think I’ll have to make them all from scratch. Yamao, can you come here? I need to take some measurements.” 
"Yamao, you're blushing more than Ace did!" Luffy pointed out immediately, clutching his stomach as he doubled over in laughter.  
Yamato made sure his hand was coated in haki when he hit the boy over the head.  
Over all, he had to say he much prefered the life of a cool big brother over being a pirate crew’s' ‘young master’. It was a lot more fun, a lot easier to breathe. He never felt more free than he did while laughing and running around the mountain, plotting pranks on their brothers with Ace, or getting grounded— getting thanked by Sabo for running off and beating up the pathetic excuses for pirates who had hurt Luffy and threatened the boys' treasure stash.
Even Dadan's frustrated screaming felt more loving than anything the bull-gorilla of a biological parent had ever shown him. And no, it definitely wasn’t much more embarrassing.
----------
"I don't want to be a marine!" Luffy screamed one morning just as the others were getting ready to head out to work their brand new tree house base.
Both Sabo and Ace froze, turning to stare at each other for a moment with wide eyes.
"Run?" Ace asked in a whisper.
"Run," Sabo nodded seriously before they both turned to look at Yamato.
The teen simply sat there, turning his confused gaze between Ace, Sabo, and the direction from which Luffy's voice came a few seconds earlier. "What's going on?"
Ace and Sabo exchanged a glance once more, seemingly coming to a mutual understanding before Ace answered, "Go see for yourself. Luffy could probably use the help."
Immediately, Yamato was on his feet, heading outside to save his adorable baby brother from whatever monster he was facing. He was slightly suspicious of the high five Ace and Sabo had exchanged, not as sneakily as they probably thought, but as long as Luffy was in trouble, it didn't matter much to him.
As soon as he made it outside the little house, his eyes fell on the two figures fighting just a little bit away from the house. Obviously, one of them was Luffy, who was visibly fuming; growling and snapping his teeth like he was getting ready to literally bite the legs off of his target.
The target in question was a tall, although obviously much shorter than Yamato, and muscular old man clad in a bright red and white aloha shirt, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared Luffy down. He looked thoroughly unimpressed by Luffy’s pistol punches—which admittedly still left much to be desired despite Yamato’s efforts to help him out; it was only a question of time before he managed to find the right bang feeling. The man he was fighting looked vaguely familiar but Yamato couldn’t place that face no matter how much he wrecked his brain.
But it didn’t matter.
“Luffy, are you okay?!” Yamato called in alarm, rushing forward while preparing to swing his kanabo at the stranger.
The both of them turned to look at him then, identical angry expressions on their faces and suddenly, Yamato realized who the man reminded him of. It was more than obvious where Luffy got his personality and expressions. Maybe he should… not attack this person on sight?
Making the decision for him, Luffy huffed upon seeing him approach, raising his hand and making Yamato stop. “Stay back, I’m fine! I can kick gramps’ ass myself!”
“Who’s ass are you gonna kick?” the man snapped, his light punch making Luffy clutch at his head. “You can’t win against the fist of love, Luffy!”
Yamato blinked. That was obviously haki but… fist of love?  
Ignoring Luffy’s complaints, the man gave Yamato an obvious once over. “And who are you? Wait—” he paused, looking like he just remembered something— “you’re Yamao, aren’t you?”
“My name is Ya-ma-to, and I’m Luffy’s big brother,” Yamato replied, not entirely sure why he even bothered to correct anyone on his name at this point. No one ever listened.
“Part of the family already, hm? You have an impressive swing; you’ll make a fine marine.” The grandfather nodded, grinning at Yamato in approval.
Yamato did a double take. “I’m not going to be a marine!” he responded immediately, the horror he felt at the though clear in his voice.
“Exactly! We’re gonna be pirates!” Luffy joined in, fully recovered and launching a new rubbery pistol punch, which went completely ignored.
Gramps puffed up, raising his fist threateningly in front of himself. “Nonsense! All four of you will be the strongest marines the navy’s ever had if I have any say in it!”
“No way!” Luffy and Yamato cried in unison, the both of them jumping at the man in a joint attack.
A second later the both of them were rolling on the ground together, clutching at their heads and trying to recover from yet another fist of love. Seriously, Yamato only just met this guy, why was he getting a fist of love? Or better yet, why did it sound like he was already considered a grandson? He didn’t even know his new grandfather’s name.
He guessed it was simply one more proof of his relation to Luffy. It was exactly the same to when Luffy had decided by himself that Yamato was the big brother now, not even half an hour after meeting him, and just like back then, Yamato was powerless in defying that decision.
Not like he wanted to. He would be lying if he said being considered family so easily, so warmly, so unconditionally didn’t make him happy. But still…
“I’m already a pirate,” he growled. Not to mention marines did nothing but fight Oden and the Pirate King’s crew. Like hell was he becoming one of them.  
Gramps took a deep breath, looking like he was about to explode, but Yamato interrupted him. “The navy wouldn’t want someone with my blood anyway. They’d execute me on the spot,” he said flatly, looking the man straight in the eyes, trying to convey how disgusted by the institution, the world government, the current world he was. Like hell was he participating in that. He’d much rather wait patiently for the one who was going to change it all and support them.  
Neither of them said anything for a moment, neither of them faltering as they stared each other down silently. Until finally, gramps grinned, a smile so similar to Luffy’s that Yamato startled.
“If blood’s the problem, all the more reason you should join,” he announced, the smile never leaving his face even as his eyes turned almost sad.  
Yamato tilted his head to the side as he watched the man slowly look at Luffy before his eyes slid in the direction of the bandits’ house. When Yamato turned to look, he could see Ace turning around and walking away, Sabo quickly following with a worried expression on his face.
Well.
At least Yamato wasn’t the only one who obviously hated his biological family around here.
Deciding to leave Ace in Sabo’s hands, Yamato turned back to the problem at hand but before he could snap at the man, Luffy did so for him, “No. He’s joining my crew!”
“Over my dead body!” gramps roared in response, looking like he was going to go off on a rant.
Yamato, however, wasn’t about to sit around and listen to that. “No, over my dead body. Do you even hear how fucked up it is that you need to join the navy to be safe from getting hunted? Neither of us going there,” he growled, baring his teeth for good measure.
The old man paused, blinking at Yamato once, then twice, before he burst out in laughter, one so loud, so honest, and so contagious that, despite having no idea what was so funny, it made even Yamato want to laugh. All his anger was forgotten as his lips stretched in a grin, shaking his head at the sudden realization of how weird this entire situation was. He barely knew what was even happening but… it wasn’t like Yamato ever really paused to think about things. If it felt right, he’d go with it. If it didn’t, fuck it.  
And this, incredibly, felt right.
It was only a long while later that gramps finally caught his breath enough to speak, “I like you, kid. Are you sure you’re Kaido’s son?”
As if hit by the bull-gorilla’s Thunder Bagua, Yamato stopped laughing, only staring with an open mouth as dread ran through him. “How?” he could only say after a dreadfully long moment of heavy silence. Or maybe it was only a second. But it was too much, and made Yamato feel too on edge. Ready to fight. He didn’t want to even hear the bull-gorilla’s name; definitely didn’t want to hear it in relation to himself.
Gramps looked at him as if asking if he was kidding then, but with his only answer being a glare, he started laughing anew. “Kid, if you don’t want people to know, or the asshole finding you, maybe stop introducing yourself with ‘son of Kaido’ to anyone you meet. You have poor Makino quite worried.”
Oh.
Whoops?
“Yamao, you’re stupid,” Luffy laughed.
The teen huffed, shoving hard at Luffy’s shoulder. “You’re stupid,” he hissed back, making Luffy stick his tongue out at him.
Yamato saw it only fair he do the same in return.
Just then, a dark shadow loomed over the both of them and they slowly looked up, only to see gramps looking down at them with an evil grin on his face, slowly cracking his knuckles. “Whatever you say, I will train you stupid brats into proper marines, yet.”
Yamato finally understood why Ace and Sabo’s immediate reaction was to run, then send Yamato as what he could now only assume being a sacrifice. There was no way even Yamato was going to be a fair match for this man. “Oh fuck,” Yamato cursed, scrambling to his feet to follow Luffy, who who was already hafway down the clearing away after taking the first popped knuckle as his signal to bolt.
“Watch your fucking language in front of your baby brothers!” gramps shouted after him just before something that might have been a pine cone flew past him at an impossible speed.
Yamato and Luffy exchanged a glance, identical grins spreading in their lips before they both took a deep breath. “ACE! SABO! HELP!!”
If they were to die today, they’d make sure to take the other two down with them.
----------
Hours later, Yamato lay awake in his bed on the floor of the mountain bandits’ cabin long after his brothers started snoring softly. He was exhausted from the day spent laughing and running away from gramps—or Garp, as he had finally learned earlier that evening once Dadan finally stopped hiding from the man—but as opposed to the others, he didn’t want to sleep.
Not when gramps and Dadan were busy talking on the other side of this thin wall. What had started as the two of them sharing their frustrations and complaints about their kids quickly turned into fondness as they instead told each other stories about the brothers and their antics. Yamoto wasn’t surprised the bandit knew exactly where their secret base was, just as he wasn’t surprised by Garp only pulling out the most embarrassing stories he probably could.
It was a good thing the other three had managed to pass out the second their heads hit their pillows or they’d be trying to fight the old man all over again over it.
Yamato, on the other hand, refused to miss out on a second of this. The adults might not have allowed him to drink with them, claiming Yamato was too young for that—to which he not-so-politely disagreed, but then Garp’s fist disagreed with him—but they couldn’t stop him from listening. Those were his brothers they were talking about and he wanted to hear all about the past ten years of their lives that he had missed.
And if he maybe got a little bit happy every time they brought Yamato up, well… no one had to know that.
“Yamao, I swear if you don’t stop laughing at their shitty stories, I will strangle you with your own hair.”

a different kind of song
(A/N: no one ever asked for this, but there isn't enough merman!Bucky/reader fics out there, lol. Also, her song is basically "Siren Song" by Margaret Atwood)
Warning- allusions to sexual assault. Do NOT read if that bothers you!
Summary: The sea swallowed her whole, and she was reborn with saltwater on her tongue and webs between her fingers.
🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
She did not remember her life as a human. All she remembered was the war, and the hunger, and the men raiding her village. She remembered the sweat-soaked skin of a warrior snatching her up as she cried out for help. She felt the slide of his body, his blade against her throat. Then when he had finished, she remembered being thrown away into the deepest part of the sea, left to die. But she was blessed by the primordial sea god Phorcys, a child of Artemis, and was allowed to live again. Her new body was formed from misery and blood, and the reward for her suffering was eternal life with the chance to kill as many humans as she wished with no divine interference. The killing of human men, for men were the chosen victims of any siren. Women were not drawn in by their song, and if, by chance, a woman stumbled across a siren, that siren would leave her alone.
Slowly, she began to forget the trappings of humanity, the sound of her mother's voice, and the taste of human food. She aged with the world, hidden deep beneath the waves. Countless men fell prey to her beautiful song, and she learned how to kill quickly. She grew to love the taste of flesh, the sound of someone drowning. She forgot what it was like to be lonely. 
Now, she only knew starvation.
An all-encompassing hunger clawing at her belly made her whine with pain. Humans had avoided this part of the sea for a few years, and she last ate three months ago. She'd had to survive solely on fish, which, while technically food, were not filling nor even tasty. She was beginning to hate fish.
There were no boats; she checked three times in the past hour. It was dangerous for her to be so close to the surface because the air outside was toxic. There was also a very likely chance that she would be spotted by anyone who could harm her. But she was so hungry that she forgot herself. She floated just beneath the surface and sang, letting her voice ring out through the water, enticing any man into approaching. The setting sun shined down on the outcrop of rocks above her.
And there! A flash of something!
She sang louder, opening her eyes underwater. There was a man with darker hair than she had ever seen lying on a gigantic rock. He was acceptable, she guessed. She barely knew what that meant.
He had yet to notice her, dumb as he was. She could see her song was affecting him as his eyes started to close, and his hand inched unconsciously closer to the water. His finger just barely skimmed the surface before she lunged, yanking him into the sea with her. He began to fight back as she dragged him down to the sandy bottom. Thrashing against her hold, he scrabbled to gain purchase on her body, but to no avail. Her skin was as hard as stony coral and difficult to cut. She sang her trumph, mocking him as she brought him up to break the surface, only to bring him right back down.
But this man had a tail, and she did not realize it until it hit her in the face. She squawked in surprise, her song cutting off. The merman twisted out of her slackened grip. She snarled, baring her teeth as she swam at him. Sirens were stronger than mer, especially in deeper waters, so it did not take much to grab him again. They wrestled, flipping over each other. She sliced his side with one of her nails; his tail knocked the wind out of her. He pulled her lure too hard, and she made a pained sound, biting at his hand. He cried out as she ate clean through one of his webs. Blood leaked into the water, making her ravenous.
"This is the one song everyone would like to learn: the song that is irresistible," she began, "The song that forces men to leap overboard in squadrons, even though they see the beached skulls!"
The merman ceased struggling. He stared at her, his eyes growing vast and dreamy. She grinned toothily. She had only had mer meat once before. It was harder to draw in mermen than human men, so because of that, she was only able to entice a single merman. But that was years ago, and he wasn't nearly as delicious to look at as this mer.
She dropped the tone of her voice to a seductive curl. "This is the song that nobody knows because anyone who has heard it is dead, and others can't remember. Shall I tell you a secret? And if I promise to, will you come nearer? I will tell my secret to you, to you, only to you. Come closer, closer to me."
She lifted her finger, tempting him to come over so that she could take a bite. The merman swam closer until their chests were pressed together. He said something in a language that she had never heard before.
"This song is a cry for help, my dear. Help me! Only you, only you can, for you are unique!" she cried sadly.
His tail curled around hers, and she frightened at the gentle touch broken out of her song. She spat and gnashed her teeth, but still, his tail stayed where it was. He opened his mouth and said something, but she still could not understand. She went to bite his nose off, but he leaned forward and pressed his mouth to hers so plainly that she stilled. She was not sure what was happening. She was not sure what she was supposed to be doing. She floated there, letting him mash his mouth against hers. His mouth tasted bizarre.
Finally, the merman stopped. He pulled away only minutely, still looking spellbound. Strange. Her song had ended. Why did he continue to look at her like that? He reached out and lifted her chin to meet his eyes. His own were darting back and forth across her face, searching for something. He spoke more things that she didn't understand.
"Uhh-h- hello," the merman said in a language she could understand. "Hi."
"Why were you crushing your mouth onto mine?" she asked.
"What, never heard of kissin' before?"
His smile was much too pleasant. That was unacceptable. Food was never supposed to look nice. She wanted to claw the smile right off of his face.
"Kissing?"
"Yeah, touchin' lips. Usually done as a sign of love or, you know, desire."
"Desire?"
"Sweet Thetis, you're fuckin' gorgeous," said the merman, ignoring her confusion.
His hand shot out to touch her lure, but he thought better of it and withdrew.
"What does that mean?" she asked.
His smile grew bigger, how funny: "Beautiful. Pretty."
"Pretty? What's that?"
"You know, like when you find a shiny thing, an' you wanna keep it forever?"
"I do not know," she grumbled (How dare this mer make her feel unintelligent!). "I have never had shiny things."
"Never had… Hold on, my pretty one."
Mystified, she waited just as he'd asked as he ruffled through a pouch that she had not noticed before. She had never seen anything like it and wondered where she could acquire one. Of course, she never had a reason to have a bag since she had no use for possessions. Perhaps it could hold weapons! Or bones to snack on!
"Ah-ha!" the merman said, thrusting something in her direction.
She stared at the thing in his hand.
"Looks even prettier underneath your lights," he said, avoiding her eyes.
"What is it?" she replied, her hand darting out nervously to touch it.
She pulled back almost instantly, but the merman grabbed her wrist.
"It's called gold," he explained, tipping it into her hands. "The humans use it to get other shiny things. D'you like it?"
"I am not sure. I do not know what I like."
"You can keep it."
"What kind of trickery is this?"
"No tricks. As I said, you're beautiful, and beautiful things should have beautiful things."
"No tricks, certainly, but what do you want in exchange?"
For the first time tonight, he looked sheepish. She noticed that his stomach was turning pink, but for what reason, she was unsure. She wondered what he was trying to work up the nerve to say.
"Well, er, matin' season is comin' up," he began.
"Not yet."
"Right, it isn't for a few months yet, but I was taught to woo the mer, er, the creature that I choose with shiny things. It's my first matin' season, you see."
"Mhm."
"An' the wooin' part takes a while. An' then there's the courtin' stage, which takes even longer."
"If you need a mate, there are mer all around this area during this time."
"Well- heh." The merman rubbed the back of his neck. "I-I'd like it to be you."
"Why?"
"Because you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
"Ah."
"I have more shiny things if you want 'em," the mer said, reaching for his pouch.
She shrugged. "I have no use for them."
"You don't gotta have a use for 'em. Where's your home cave? I can bring 'em there."
"I do not have a home cave," she said.
"Oh, right, where is your family's cave, then?"
"I have no family."
"No family? You mean, you're out here all by yourself?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you lonely?"
"What is lonely?" she asked.
"Sad, because you have no one with ya."
"What is sad?"
"Whaddya mean, 'what is sad?' It's sad! Don't you know what that is?" the merman twisted his face up like he was in distress, though what kind she was not sure.
"I only know hunger," she told him.
His eyes lost some of their shine. "Oh, yeah, right. How long's it been since you ate properly anyway? You don't look so good."
"I have not caught a human in months."
"D'you need help huntin'?"
"Can you ensnare a human with your singing?"
"No, but I know some good spots for fish."
"I am not in the mood for fish," she said.
"You just haven't found the right kind," the merman replied, closing his left eye.
He turned tail, swimming away from her before glancing back to see if she would follow him. The hunger in her belly was making her act quite strange in that she was willing to go along with this merman. She felt, oh, what's the word, she knew this, like mer, she was curious. She decided to follow him, keeping a bit of distance between them until the merman flipped around in an impressive display of tailfins and long dark hair, and decided they would swim side by side. His hand kept brushing hers, trying to grab onto her fingers for some reason. She tugged away, unsure of what he was trying to do. She still had not yet decided if she wanted to mate with him anyway. Sirens did not mate in the same way that mer did, that much she knew. They called it breeding, and it was over in a frenzy of teeth and claws. There were no gifts of shiny things or "kisses."
"What's yer name?" the merman asked.
The question stunned her. She could not remember her name before the sea took her in, and she had no use for a name now. No one else called to her. Her name was simply another memory, another casualty to add to her list.
"I do not know," she said.
"You know what a name is, right? Like, I'm Bucky, for example."
Her fingers drifted up to her lips, searching for her name. If she remembered the shape of her mouth as she spoke it aloud, perhaps she could remember the correct sounds. She thought back as far as she could, to the feeling of water filling her lungs, to the sounds of screams, to the smell of a fire burning down her village, to her blood staining her tongue. She wanted to remember her name. She had not even realized this was something she had lost until she needed it.
Then there was a flash of memory, jagged and cutting. Her heart began to race. In her mind, she heard it. Her mother had been crying. Her mother had been screaming at the men to stop. Her mother had been shrieking to let go of her, let go of my daughter. Her mother yelling at her to be brave, hold her breath, be strong, my love, my dear. Her mother. She remembered her mother.
Her lips parted, and she whispered the name into the water. The merman, Bucky, repeated it.
"Again," she said.
He did, and oh, she felt something new, something besides hunger. A hole opened in her chest. Her lower lip wobbled, and then she was singing a new song, never before heard from a siren. It echoed around her and Bucky, reaching out to the farthest depths of the sea. It was filled with desperation, isolation, and salvation, but it was hope and home too.
"Is this what sad is?" she asked Bucky once her song was over.
"Yeah, it is," he answered, curling his tail around hers.
When he went to wrap her up in his arms, she let him, falling into his embrace.
