Intended to do some sketches to practise mer!Virgil's proportions. I went slightly overboard as usual and color coordinated them.
Hiraeth
Meaning: nostalgia, longing, homesickness, a deep feeling of yearning for something, someone or somewhere.
He just wanted to make sure that the diver’s ok because it’s getting dark and they’ve drifted away from their group. He probably misjudged their ability to tell that there’s something huge in the water with them and they took out their flashlight. Uh… Surprise! xD
His awkward smile is rather toothy and not too reassuring; glowing tapetum lucidum isn’t helping. The diver regrets taking out their flashlight. :)
God he’s so awkward the boi
Taglist under cut cuz why not (let me know if you want to be added/removed)

Wait? How big is Troll boi V? What you mean he can put Mergil on his lap? (Also that would be hella cute boi deserves some hugs) 🐙

I haven’t worked out his height yet because I’m unsure if he’s the version I’ll go with, but he’s 300ft plus. :)
He can wade out to Mergil like
I said big and I meant it! But the difference looks dramatic because Mergil has a large/long “fish body” and the Troll is more “compact”. xD
So if Troll!Virgil is mindful of Mergil’s dorsal fins, he can have him sit on his lap. Like he’s a very, very long toddler. xD
Watermelon wish
So, it’s been a bit…I wanted fluff but, uh, it’s bitter sweet?
Heh, whoops 😅

Enjoy!🐙

‘Wish upon a star’, they said. ‘You never know! ~’ they said. Yet, they never once said what to do on the off chance that the star actually granted the wish.

Pain.
That’s the first thing he noticed on the night of the new moon.
It hurts! It hurts so bad!
Every inch of him ached, the pain radiated from his hair down to the tip of his tail fin.
Everything felt like it was being compressed.
His ribs felt bruised and his gills struggled to function, it was as if he had swum into the endless depths below and the pressure was consequently wreaking havoc on his body. He would fight it if he could, swim up and away from the cause of his pain, except…
Except, he was already on the surface and had been for quite some time.
The sun had gone down no more than an hour or so and the “Scratching cliff” was a familiar spec in the distance ahead. The next meet up with his humans was to be in the morning, many, many hours away.
He coughed and gagged; the scent of his own blood was beyond alarming. However, the pain radiating throughout his form kept him immobilized. That, of course, made his panic all the worse. If he could move, he would have been flailing and thrashing about in an attempt to escape whatever it is that was causing all this pain.
Instead, he could do no more than writhe and whimper, while somehow remaining buoyant for the duration of his agony.
The pain only grew more intense and to make matters worse, he was sinking.

Very specific image I must share with you- giant mer Virgil scratching an itch against a rocky cliff and nearly causing an avalanche
muppenthings answered:
Ahahah yeah he does that!
He loves a good scratch, arching into it like a cat.
So a few wondered what would happen if Virgil did wake up here.
Yeah the twins woke him up. Would've been fine if they didn't start pulling at his teeth.
This was a super fast/rough comic. Just wanted to see if I could make one in a day. I could not. So the rest will come later. But for now, Remus is gone. 😂

You don't have to draw this if you don't want to, imagine the other Mer!sides seeing giant Mer!Virgil, the ones you've drawn, I mean😃

Roman: *whisper yelling* “Trenches deep–! Remus! I’ll slap your tailfin if you wake them up…!”
Janus: “I’m so glad we decided to go to a kelp forest today.”
Patton: “Maybe they’re friendly? You can’t judge a mer by their scale!”
Logan: “Are you refering to their size or their literal scales?”
Patton: “Yes.”
Remus: “Think those are sharp? Let me just- ”
Everyone: No!
