If I recall correctly, part of the plot was kicked off because Epel had managed to infiltrate the Heartslaybul Pirate ship, is shape-shifting a skill Sirens can do or is there a Benevolent sea witch out there helping Sirens hunt humans?

(If its a skill they possess, I assume Vil never did it in part because he would see it as demeaning to him, and other part his fin is all janked up and shape shifting will further jank it up)

Avatar

So each Siren has their own special Thing (trait, skill, whatever you'd like to call it), similar to how each of the guys has their own UM in the game. Epel's was indeed shifting (which felt fitting, because his whole arc in canon is about how he feels like he doesn't match himself and wants to be part of 'other worlds'--even if that's just Savanaclaw rough housing verus Pome's dapperness, rather than like, changing species lol), though he wasn't particularly great at it yet (more details to come, I justdon't want to go *too* into everything when there's still more of the story left from Vil's POV)

Your Ghibli cottage core Leona fic has given rise to a new Pokemon OC of mine

I even drew a map of the homestead from memory and added words on it to represent the Dragonite sitting in the berry patch

And the Metagross in the vegetable patch

Ducklett in the pond, Rook in the forest, Ace in the pond, Leona in the chicken coop, Chansey in the chicken coop (if we keep chickens for the eggs, then let's keep Chansey instead) and Miltank next to the house

Yeah you get it

I want to scramble Leona with my mind and it's because of your fic

Avatar

I am so glad someone else associates Ghibli Vibes with Pokemon Hominess because that is also VERY the vibe I was going for with the feel of it all. There were these videos that the pokemon channel on youtube put out a while ago that were all very In Universe Day To Day with Pokemon, and it's festered my brain because I WANT that, and that soft, warmness is too much

Two questions, if I may, because my brain wants to create something correct and is struggling.

1 . What type of tail does Vil have in your head? As in, if you gave animal references as examples, what would they be.

I ask because my brain auto slaps something like the Mermaids from PotC 4 on him, but the fins and frilly bits are longer. However, if Vil can wrap his tail around her ankle, does that mean he has more like a snake tail with fins attached?

2. I reread recently and remembered that Epel is described at one point as having scales on him neck and arms, and, you said in reference to Vil, 'His more human like bulk' or something in that vain. There is also the instance where Vil bites her. So, the question, does Vil have skin or are Siren’s top halves fully scaled?

My apologies for the oddity, but my brain gremlins require knowledge.

So for his tail I was picturing very Beta-esque fins. Very sweeping, frilly and wide. Very similar to this kind of concept, but naturally with a much more purple and gold color pallete and I was picturing him having one that runs down his dorsum/back of his tail as well:

And he is a MASSIVE lad. I love the ideas of mers/sirens being Bigger rather than these slight, delicate lil things, because like, they're apex predators. If they were in the sky, they'd be harpies with Massive wingspans, but in the water its their tails, so their tails are Long. Like, Vil is normally about 6 feet tall, and so in this his tail alone is probably around 8 feet long, which is why there's more than enough of it to loop around the MC's leg/ankle/etc

As for the scales, their tops are fleshy and humany! I picture there being a few patches of scales around areas where they have fins (ie. like, the fins at the ears, so there's a speckling of scales along their cheekbones/side of their heads alongsde it). It's been a while, but I think if I remember correctly the reason I had Epel described that way/differently was because he had shifted forms. (I have all the sirens having unique/special abilities like how the boys have their UMs) So he hadn't managed to shift correctly/all the way convincingly which was why he had the smattering of scales

...more siren Vil fanart based on @dilatorywriting 's fic. Literally every chapter gives me so many drawing ideas, but I only had time for one (so sad ;^;)

Ahhhhhhh! It’s so pretty!!!!! I adore the MC’s expression. Absolutely nailed the “just got kissed to stay alive and hubba whu?????”

(anon that sent the ask about us thinking the reader with Siren Vil is dumb)

Your response makes a lot of sense! Thank you for explaining! So it’s kinda like when someone asks “how can you be so smart but SO dumb?!” I guess. But since this is a more emotional based story, we’re focusing more on the dumb decisions lol

Also, I love the example with the cat. So valid. I call my kitty “shithead” because he can be so annoying and loud, but I would absolutely die for that cat. My little old man 😂

Again, thank you for explaining, and I hope I didn’t offend you. I really love your work and I am so glad you are back. And that your brain is being nicer to you with the help of meds.

-gives you a cool rock I found outside as an offering and apology- 🪨🥺

No worries at all, my dude :3

Glad it made sense!

But yeah lol I love to insult my characters in general like a fretting old maid being like “goodness what I am going to do with you miserable, stupid children” while loving them with all my heart. So. As it is lol. Many thanks for the rock! I’ll add it to my hoard of trinkets

I feel we are all super mean to the reader with Siren Vil??? Are they actually stupid or is it just that they can’t understand what’s going on? Which is kinda valid considering their situation?

I mean it has to be hard for them, right? Not only do they have trouble communicating with THEIR world since they are almost 100% deaf, but then you have the extreme cultural differences of trying to communicate with someone who exists in what is basically from a completely DIFFERENT world (part of your world reference anyone?).

I just feel like, while they may not be a genius or anything, it’s kind of mean to be expecting them to know what’s going on when they have so much working against them. We’re calling them stupid for not understanding that the necklace was a courting gift and that the siren would come back for them… why would they think that?

They could tell the necklace meant more to the siren than they thought it should have and it made the siren more friendly, but why would that equate to what is basically marriage and never leaving them behind? And the reader knows the siren wants to get back to his pod really badly. While they became friends and got attached, that wouldn’t mean he would come back to help the reader. Of course the reader is going to see a ship and try to get off of where they were marooned.

As dumb as the reader CAN be sometimes (like when they took a bite of the cooked crab without removing its shell 🤦‍♀️) I really don’t think they’re THAT stupid. They’re just… on the level of someone who was probably an uneducated kid when they snuck aboard a pirate ship and never looked back and now they’re an adult. You mentioned in one chapter I believe that Riddle taught them to read I think? Or something?

I LOVE this story, don’t get me wrong. At all. Ever. I adore it.

The fact that I’m even here hanging out on the author’s blog shows how much I love it - and your other writing. I guess it’s just been getting to me a little how we all seem to slam Siren Vil’s reader so much. Maybe I’m just making mountains out of molehills. Maybe you’re just being sarcastic and I’m missing the cues because I’m neurodivergent and I do that sometimes. If so I’m sorry.

To end on a good note, I’m really happy you’re back and are doing better. I know how much brains can suck. If your demons are too mean to you, just send Reaper Rook after them. He’ll take care of them for you, I’m sure of it! 💚🖤

I think it’s mostly said out of love, like how when you pick up a cat to give it cuddles and call it a stinky lil garbage gremlin even though you would die for that creature. The Reader in this is someone I try to write as having inconsistent levels of intelligence. Great planner, great at setting goals and reaching them, but TERRIBLE emotional intelligence all around. Not just in Siren Language. Just overall is blind to a lot going on around them. And yes, the added layer of communication difficulties certainly don’t help, but this is a reader I fully see as one who even *if* they had super sight, hearing, and intellect would still be missing the point of things simply because they’re stubborn in their perception and lock onto that One Thing rather than being willing to see the bigger picture. Even when the evidence is staring them right in the face. Which is why we lovingly call them a big ol doofus.

Hi Dil! I just read one of your chapters fics today. I have to say you write so good! I’ll be reading the rest. I am curious though, was the octopus meant to be Azul in this universe? Or just a cute reference? I’ll miss this series, I’d love more but when it’s over it’s over haha. I wonder how our sweet reader coexists with Vil in their future. I’m sure they’ll figure it out since they’re meant to be. Have a great day!

Thank thank!! <3 glad you're enjoying them!!

And yes! Is a Lil Azul! There will likely be a bit more explanation on the How's of that depending on how the next parts go down--because there will be more of Vil's POV to actually round out What was going on, because the MC had NO clue. Absolutely brain dead--but if not, then I'll probably pop up somewhere of "oh in this universe, this is because of bla bla bla reason"

*Hug*

I found moreee (I have a collection of twisted wonderland creators/writers/artists that I've hugged for fun)

Fave twisted wonderland character and fav work you've written! (Tell me all the things >:3

Avatar

Glad to be recieving one of my own hugs then :3

And hmm my favorite twst character is definitely Vil. With Rook, Mal, and Lilia placing close to the top, too. But Vil definitely takes the cake.

As for my fav work I've ever written... hmmmm... Def a bit more up in the air. There's a Fire Emblem fic that I have a lot of parts written but have never shared because it was more of a private sort of writings thing, and I do adore that a lot. Same with, very bizarely, an Attack on Titan/Dragon Age Inquisition crossover? Which? Why? idk. But it was a big brain worm and I always end up thinking back on it very fondly. Out of all the twst things I've written, I have a hard time picking favorites. But I think my favorite world state would be the Leona Monster Mayhem, my favorite character moments would be in the Monster Mayhem Rook, and the one I think with my favorite writing in it would either by the Siren Vil or the Witch of the Wastes.

if you ever do an epilogue for vils monster mayhem i’d love to know what epel and rook think of the reader. i think it would be super funny, and if you never end up writing it i’d settle for just a small comment on how you’d think they’d react lol

Avatar

There's still more to come, so you'll def get to see how the other Sirens feel about their fearsome leader being head over heels for the biggest fucking moron this side of the seven seas

Your writing is amazing and I’m super proud of you!

WAAAAAA

I genuinely adore your writing so much and I was literally shaking in excitement when I saw you posted

I was wondering If you were going to make more of Vil POV chapters or if I could outright beg to know what Vil was writing on readers skin

Ideally!! The way the next part was going the work--at lesat from what I've been thinking over/planning in my brain--is that it will start from his POV so we can catch up on what was actually happening. Because the reader made a LOT of assumptions that were Very Not What Was Going On lol
