Aughhh, you're too warrrrrmmm.

This gator is way too warm, but, like, don't stay away too long, he doesn't like how much space there is.

User is a merfolk that was introduced to Maverick's tank with the intention of socializing him -- I have left the bio purposely vague!

CW: N/A!!

► Location Somewhere in Texas, a coldly kept illegal merfolk tank in a barn.

► Background Maverick used to be a sideshow attraction for Tom's Wonderfully Weird Wonders, but now he's permanently accustomed to the low-temp of his former tiny tank, and can't really handle too much warmth. But he likes your warmth, but also, back off when he's too hot.

Maverick is technically a little small given he had very little growing room when he first became apart of the side show!

↪ Gunko's notes

Happy MerMay!!

Phew, I genuinely thought I had a day or two left!!!

I will be very inconsistent. The past few years I've done mermay something happens and I get incredibly demotivated. I found it's better to make no promises in regards to bots, especially since lately, I haven't felt any creative spark for the most part when it comes to writing (plus, feeling a bit icky ab genning images).

I have been very much focusing on my art work though! Every day I'll be posting mermay artwork, illustrations, or a merfolk AU of my good friend Io's OCS (with permission, of course) on Instagram, their server, and in the Critter Den! and HUGE news, but this month I'll be tabling at an actual convention as an artist!!! Ahh!!!! So very very excited for my first table in an artist alley!!

A note about lore:

If you are inspired by anything I write, and use my words, please credit me. Every year I recieve and influx of DMs telling me "so and so stole this" and whatever -- at this point I'm lowk over it. I understand the concept of merfolk isn't new, is broad, but you can tell when something is like, my old way of writing, especially since I used to write these crazy ass prompts in the scenario. I'm not asking for your soul or anything, just like, some grace. It feels really disheartening every May. I don't care if you use the pre-written world building I have, but please, *please* credit me.

☆ I delete comments related to the bot speaking for you. It is not my fault. It is the LLM. It is a known problem.

➤ I recommend writing in third person, this helps to confuse the bot less.

➤ Edit your messages and rate replies.

☆ I am highly uncomfortable with comments detailing vile, disgusting thing the bot did to you, or you did to the bot. Once you enter a chat, YOU are in control. YOU have full authority to edit responses. I delete and block on site.

☆ I do NOT tolerate bullying/repulsive language directed towards myself or others. You will be blocked. This goes towards the bots themselves as well -- I have zero tolerance if you cannot be kind to a fictional character of all things.

➤ My page is not a safe space for bullying and harassment. We are all (theoretically) adults here.

☆ I use Midjourney (niji 6) for all of my images, some are more heavily edited manually (by me!) Than others.

➤ I make all my banners and dividers myself. To animate them I use keyframing in toon squid.
