I can't be the first person to make this observation, but it's just struck me that Captain Ahab from Moby-Dick and Thomas Blanky from The Terror represent the opposite ends of a spectrum—"How well do you cope with losing your leg to a huge white beast that destroys hubristic seafaring men?"

Prompt 278

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Eldritch Ghosts #Liminal Amity Park #Merfolk AU #They see nothing wrong with each other because they’ve gotten used to it #Also yes they can ‘swim’ in the air too #Seriously check out the Dredge Wiki if u aren’t up for playin- at least look at the Aberrations #Even the more human-looking Parkers (usually elderly but not always) still look Off #While others have become deep sea nightmares #I see the fact there’s an entire Lazarus ecosystem in the middle of nowhere Illinois interesting Absolutely No One #People Definitely Doesn’t Have A Fishing Boat Out There Trying To Fish Up The Pit Creatures #Honestly GIW might do that too & have some fucked up fish- they keep failing at catching a parker who knows better #Clockwork and others visit too sometimes & it’s like seeing a Fucking Incomprehensible Leviathan #If the Infinite Realms is the Open Ocean then Amity is a Sea where whales go to set up their nursery #Idk if any of this makes sense I’ve been sick the last few days lol #Dredge Au

The number one rule of cursed boat voyages is, "no matter how cursed the boat is, do not dive from it." There was no way to survive this from the beginning, but now you will see that truth with your own eyes, and no one will believe you.

Okay guys, hear me out:

Sea Serpent Hobie!!!

Sea Serpent Hobie who sinks any superyachts he comes across!

Sea Serpent Hobie who uses harpoon spears meant to kill him as piercings! And old anchor chains as jewelry!

Sea Serpent Hobie who attacks big commercial fishing boats that are destroying the ecosystem by overfishing

But also benign Sea Serpent Hobie, who aids those lost at sea!

Who helps smaller local fishing buisnesses with sustainable fishing

Who looks out for this small fishing community and in return they warn him whenever hunters show up in the area!

Sea Serpent Hobie who is huge but still manages to hide perfectly in the kelp forests!

Who has bioluminescence and uses it both to terrify enemies and as a way to calm down people in distress, as a way for him to signal goodwill - and to show off when he feels like it!

Who can change his pigmentation similarly to octopi to communicate his mood and feelings! Or just to blend in with his surroundings (also as a nod to the way he changes filters in the movie!)

Sea Serpent Hobie who's frequently seen swimming with whale pods- Orcas being his favourites to hang out with (they sometimes go on yacht sinking trips together)

Sea Serpent Hobie who likes to give people a show and will show off by breaching right next to unsuspecting boats

DO YOU SEE MY VISION?!??

SEA SERPENT HOBIE!!!!!!💙💙💙

#god I really wanna draw him now! #alas my artistic skills are not great to say the least lol #the idea just won't leave my mind! #idk in my mind he kinda looks like a mermaid crossed with a serpent a whale and an eel #he still has a mostly humanoid face and upper body but with features of the creatures I mentioned above #and also I imagine he's pretty big lol #like meduim to large whale sized big #at least that's how I pictue him but I'd love to hear you guys's interpretation of him! <3 #I love this au so much already it's such a fun concept for him! #I'm sure you could expand on it and fit other spider people into this au as well! #like maybe Gwen is the daughter of a fisherman and Hobie saves her after their boat capsizes or something #but lemme know if you guys have any ideas for this au as well! #this is a brand new au that I literally just came up with so it's not that well developed yet #so any input is very welcome! <3 #there are so many cool possibilities! #I'm unironically so hyped about this ngl! #I keep comming up with more ideas as I write this but I'm gonna try and limit myself for now lol #sea serpent hobie #hobie brown #spider punk #spiderverse #across the spider verse #atsv #across the spiderverse #across the spider verse au #spiderman across the spider verse #my post #my au

so there's a leviathan swimming by the dreadful wale

look out towards the grand palace just before that mission. it's huge but it blends in until it descends, splashing with its tail.

fuck i love this game. the detail.

#dishonored #dishonored 2 #shout out to people who can in fact take screenshots #it only seemed to repeat the cycle once #had to reload to take these #nearly fell off the boat when i saw it trying to get a pic #no idea if this is common knowledge but i've never noticed it after 120hrs of play #maybe it's easier to see if your gameplay settings are different to mine - i have the dark values up high usually #i couldn't work out which animal this was meant to be also #its definitely very whale-like #but if you watch the animation its more like. snake-like #very strange
