in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
whenever I see archeological remains of a human who suffered from a terrible disease that couldn’t be treated in their lifetime but could be fixed now, this wave of sorrow and mourning washes over me. a woman in the 14th century who spent her 35 years of life bent at the waist because of congenital scoliosis. a man from the 18th century who died because of a non cancerous mass on his jaw that made eating progressively more difficult. remains of a woman from the Neolithic who died in childbirth having evidence of peri-mortem trepanation on her skull.
and yet she survived to 35. and yet the physicians in his time tried to strengthen his jaw. and yet someone 4,000 years ago tried to save someone they loved from dying of preeclampsia/increased cranial pressure. we tried. we tried and we tried and we tried. we failed and we learned but we tried. that’s what makes humans so beautiful.
Yan!Merman x Reader x Yan!Prince: Endings
The opinions regarding this story were unsurprisingly leaning towards the merman as your final choice, though there were some people who did vote for the prince. Allow me to suggest you a third, bonus ending that you can unlock: awkward polycule that somehow works out in the end.
Arrogant, yet insecure Prince who is so desperate to have you that he'll put up with any condition. Yes, even if he must live next to the creature. He's constantly trying to prove his feelings and seems to believe this is a competition of sorts. Despite his outspoken disgust for the merman, the battle-hardened royal will often jump to his defense, cutting short any disrespectful display. No one dares to question the monster in his presence. Don't bring it up, though, he will become angry and embarrassed and deny everything.
Cursed merman who doesn't care about anything else other than having you. He's unexpectedly indifferent to the nobleman joining in and is painfully oblivious to his ardent challenges. In fact, he quite admires the human's passion and virtuous nature, often trying to copy his behavior. Doesn't really register the hostility and thinks the prince is just shy, awkward, or self-conscious. Wait, he's self-conscious about his monstrous self, too! Perhaps they've been friends all along.
Reader who's just enjoying the show. You sure went beyond your family's expectations, huh? They wanted you to finally bring home a husband, and you ended up with two!

Red Velvet Milk Info
[Tw: Blood, Injury, Sadomasochism]
-
He/him 🏳️⚧️
A cow hybrid obsessed with the color red, magical folk, and his beloved- The "red milk" that pours out of people when they're hurt is his favorite shade. Fancies his own, but keeps it all bottled up because he'd hate to make Darling sad.
Possess an amulet that changes him into a normal human male. Doesn't know his own strength in his true form and hardly interacts with Darling when presenting as much because he'd never forgive himself if he broke them too.
Goes by Reed in his human form, and simply Velvet in his true/"magical" form.
Incredibly shy, but notably more prone to violent outbursts in his true form. Flops between weeping over victims to feeling no pity as they stood in the way of his happy end with Darling
Keeps a first aid kit on hand at all times so he can patch Darling up if whenever they're injured. Uses the cotton swabs containing their blood as reference for the paint on his bedroom walls.
Genuinely believes Darling hates him if they refuse to let him lick their wounds
Experiences difficulties lactating on accounts of hormone therapy and top surgery. Why would Darling want that milk anyway? The stuff pumping through his veins is far sweeter.
Likes biting and being bitten - bonus points if it's to the point of drawing blood. Loves when his Darling wears short clothing - especially skirts/dresses regardless of gender. More surface areas to lick, bite, and love-
Photography project. Had fun with this one
