Is The 100+ Followers Special Event Still Here? If Yes, I Would Like To Ask Some Questions, Please. 1)

Is the 100+ Followers Special event still here? If yes, I would like to ask some questions, please. 1) What will happen if the person who is being courted moved to a place far away from the sea? Will the courtship process be canceled? 2) What will happen if the courted person reject every gifts that were given to them? Will they be in danger? 3) What if the courted person tries to hurt the mers? Will the courtship be cancelled? Thank you in advance! Sorry if I sound rude.

You didn't sound rude at all! And no, it's not anymore, you and one other person just missed the deadline! So I'll be answering this as myself!

1. So, starting with point one, we're assuming that the person is a human! If that's the case, it depends in what kind of merfolk the courters are. Selkie's will usually follow their chosen mate if they haven't moved farther than 1 hour away from the ocean, reporting back to the pod every few days or so. If they've moved/are going to move farther than that, it's usually a good idea to inform the courting pod of what's happening. It may cause some difficulties within the pod that's courting you. However, it's not always solid.

Remember, Merfolks are a lot like Humans in the fact that they're incredibly complex, and won't react the exact same in similar situations. So keep that in mind while interacting with your merperson!

2. Onto the second point: I believe I briefly mentioned what's supposed to happen if it's a smaller, less important cluster. What I mean by "smaller cluster" is up to 4 members, and they don't have any extremely relevant jobs. They're the "grunts" of this underwater mafia.

If their chosen person rejects gifts from these guys, they'll usually back off because, in merfolks world, females hold quite a bit of power. Plus, to them, the only reason their chosen would reject their advances would be that your "pod" is of a higher rank, and it's generally not a good idea to PO someone higher on the foodchain than you.

For the larger, more important clusters, 1 rejection is just words. It usually takes a small bit of physical rejection - a shove, punch, heck even biting if someone gets too handsy - to shoo them away. That's because these guys are the "top dogs" and generally have the skill set to protect their mates. The reason they get so pushy about courting is because they want to protect the person they're courting. They want to provide, and they understand that their higher position can make mers below them nervous and thus, instinctively reject the first advancement.

3. And lastly: If the person being courted hurt the mers, well...

If it's another merfolk that harmed them, that's an immediate fight. Think of it like a lion and lioness. If they're of equal standing, they'll clash for a few seconds, perhaps even involving other members of nearby clusters before simply separating and sulking off. If there's a power imbalance, it doesn't go the way you think.

First off: it has to be explicitly clear that their chosen is attacking them to seriously injure them. Because, as stated above, most lash outs will be shrugged off as rejections instead of actual malicious intent. As for the power imbalance aspect, it's actually the lower ranked mer that has the upperhand here. As I mentioned in point 2, high ranked clusters absolutely cherish their chosen mates-to-be. Unfortunately, that can also lead to the problem of not wanting to raise a hand towards them.

For a human mate, it depend on how far along you've gotten.

Should you be really early into the process, Low and High ranked mers will immediately back off. They aren't interested in such a violent human, thank you. Plus, humans aren't exactly hard to come by.

If you're later in the process, then it probably won't be much different than if another had done it. (Although you may come away with a few less limbs and a shit ton of scars in the case of the lower ranked mers)

Oh hi there. May I request a drawing of Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia wearing the outfit from the manga's 5th anniversary please?

I’ll give it a shot- I’m not familiar with My Hero Academia, could you send me a reference link?

👀 smooches

what about doing hcs of la squadra seeing reader doing something cute and realizing that they are utterly in love? I'm such a sucker for bad men in love

I agree, bad men in love is v 👀👌. for context, you and your partner are already in a relationship here.

❥ ┋ ❝ la squadra realizing that they’re hopelessly in love!

risotto nero.

Risotto realizes that he’s hopelessly in love when you fall asleep on his shoulder.

it happens in a taxi. you’re both on your way to the airport, off to a mission in Wales. some businessman wronged a high-profile member of Passione; as a result, she sent you and Risotto to dispose of the scammer before he could run much further.

but none of that matters now. it’s 5 AM, much earlier than either of you typically wake up. Risotto watches as sleepy bakers shuffle into their businesses and dim streetlights pass by. that’s when he feels a sudden weight on his shoulder.

red irises peek to his side, only to see you sleeping on his shoulder. Risotto purses his lips. he’s... well. honestly, he’s not quite sure how to react or what to do. he’s never been in a situation like this before.

but seeing you here, your own shoulders rising and falling with every breath you take, your hair draping over your face, that hushed little smile on your lips... he realizes that he doesn’t have to do anything.

so he doesn’t. nothing significant, at least. he merely tucks your hair behind your ear and readjusts himself to make you more comfortable. a soft exhale comes from his nose, as if that would help at all with the sudden tightness in his chest. ↳ “get your rest. it’ll still be another 30 minutes before we arrive at the airport.”

prosciutto.

Prosciutto realizes that he’s hopelessly in love after he hears your chipmunk sneeze.

the first time that he heard you sneeze, he didn’t believe it was actually you. the sneeze was so... high-pitched. almost pathetic. it wasn’t until he turned to you, with your rubbing your nose on your shirt, that he realized that was your sneeze.

after the realization hit (and in spite of his professional demeanor), Prosciutto threw himself into a laughing fit. he never saw you as the chipmunk sneeze kind of person. yet it somehow fits? he can’t describe it. he just finds the idea hilarious.

even still, it’s a gesture of why he loves you. you’re someone full of surprises, a fact he’s respected since you began courting. this little feature of yours is so harmless yet so endearing to him. he’d never admit it, though; what an embarrassing feature to love someone for. (he has a reputation to uphold!)

so he tries to avoid situations where your allergies will flare up. he keeps a handkerchief in the pocket of his blazer for your convenience. and as a doting partner, he also reminds you to take your antihistamines. not before chastising you, though. ↳ “here, take this. ...well what the hell did you think was going to happen? it’s the middle of spring.”

melone.

Melone realizes that he’s hopelessly in love when you start to pick up his ‘di molto!’ expression.

it’s so simple, really, but it matters a lot to him. the others (Formaggio and Illuso, mostly) mock him for his excitability. although he’s learned to brush it off, there are still insults that are just enough to get under his skin.

that’s why it matters that you began to say his signature catch phrase. a phrase that he’s teased for, yet something that you’ve nonetheless taken and adopted for yourself. a little piece of himself right there in your voice.

you sound so happy whenever you say it. there’s no limit to its use, whether from a mission well-done or your remembering leftovers from last night. yet every time that you use it, Melone can’t help but feel his heart swell. and with every di molto!, Melone gets another reminder of why he’s so in love with you.

he’s unusually subdued when he confronts you about how much he loves you. you only see him like this when talking with his Juniors. there’s something nice about it, though. he’s nurturing when he wants to be. ↳ “you know that you make me happy, right? I... I just really appreciate having you in my life.”

ghiaccio.

Ghiaccio realizes that he’s hopelessly in love when he sees you doing something that you love.

he knows that he’s built on nothing but passion. Ghiaccio puts his all into everything that he does. whether it be a fight, making a point, or simply responding to a question, that fiery will makes itself evident wherever he is.

yet for once in his life, it doesn’t manifest when you’re sitting down and indulging yourself on one of your hobbies. how you hum while you work, how he knows exactly when you’re stumped just by the curl of your lips. there’s just something so relaxing about watching you work. there isn’t anything running through his mind other than you.

needless to say, you catch him staring at you a lot. the first time that you called him out, he fiercely denied that he was watching you. the fifth, however, Ghiaccio fessed up. he asked if it bothered you, to which you shrugged and said no. it was just something that you noticed.

the fact that you were watching him as intensely as he was watching you... it makes him realize that he’s wildly, unequivocally in love with you. and he’s perfectly okay with that. ↳ “[Name]! teach me how to do that!! I want a part in what makes you happy!!!”
