happy world octopus day to the only octopus ever: azul ashengrotto <3!!! to celebrate the babygirl, here's an AU where my OC aderyn is a biology researcher and her lab comes across some very curious mermen. ecstatic that they're real not just the stuff of fairytales, she desperately wishes to get closer and to learn everything there is to know about the octo-mer, a wish that azul grants. but as the old adage goes, be careful what you wish for...

Summary
“I wonder what kinda mermaid you’d be if you were like us,” Floyd is swinging Grim like a pendulum, though only half of his attention is on the panicking cat, the other dedicated to staring thoughtfully at the worried henchman of said cat, who was half-heartedly trying to catch him in her arms. “Maybe you’d be a little shrimp~ Or maybe you’d be something surprising, like a jellyfish? Or an orca!”
Azul ends the thought experiment with a sharp tap of his walking stick on the ground, leaving no room for further discussions, “Enough of that."
---
Much, much later though, as the three mermen cool down after closing up the Mostro Lounge for the day, Azul speaks up, unprompted, and to no one in particular.
“She’d be a lionfish.”

I'm experiencing shrimptoms of mental eelness. this was meant as a writing exercise using oc-mischiefs' prompt "how do they [MC] react when vil asks them to model for him?" but it spun wayyy out of my control. this is also an exercise in writing all these characters, as well as my yuu. feel free to interpret the interactions in this fic as romantic or not :^)

Summary
The more he recalled looking out the window of the North Wing building to see Yuzuru’s blood seep down the granite walls as he stood stupefied knowing he was too late, and the longer he stared down at her still, pale face now, the stronger he found his resolve growing.
He was going to become her guardian angel.

Forgive him, the six Sins crooned. He apologized!
But Yuzuru never forgives and never forgets. She simply cannot.

Post Lesson 16 thoughts of my MC (Yuzuru) and the complicated bond that she forges with Belphegor. This is a character exploration/glimpse into her thinking process that's like a 180 of the way she acts around him and everyone else.

Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise
Fandoms: ダンジョン飯 | Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon

Summary
[NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.

Summary
Despite your status as siren, there are not many words that reach those around you anymore, voice now muted and marred from the surgeries you have endured to remove the carnations that once suffocated your throat. But you don't mind it, serving quietly as the gardener of Night Raven College, making do with a notepad and pen when necessary. You are pleased to find your childhood friend, Azul, now attends the school, who spontaneously hires you for the flower arrangements he decides to decorate in his lounge with. There's little hope you bear with the silent poetry you weave with each meticulously placed flower, only an ache which tumbles over you like the ceaseless seas. However, Azul is not deaf to this song you have sealed in your bouquets, having cherished the morsels of sweetness in your childhoods where you shared the silent language of each flower.

Summary
Sometimes it still scares you what you can get used to, in this world. By now, you welcome the sting of familiar fear — it keeps you sharp. And it means there's still enough of you left to feel afraid of what you're becoming.
or:
An anxious burnout wakes up as a nameless moray mer, one of many spawned and doomed to die. They quickly learn the price of compassion and of company in the Coral Sea, and exactly what they’re willing to pay for both. The cost of their burgeoning inhumanity is harder to come to terms with... but at least they aren’t alone for it.
or:
The self-proclaimed eldest Leech just wants to live quietly, please!! Life, family, and his own ‘interesting value’ conspire against him. Can’t someone humbly pursue a magic thesis and internally weep over their degrading morality in peace?? Ah, at least they have their very cute and kinda scary genius trio to dote on… Yes, hurry up and graduate to take responsibility for this shady ‘family business’, won’t you!? Enabling— um, cheering you on mightily! ( ु⁎ᴗ.ᴗ⁎)ु.｡oO
