Tell Me About Fish Pregnancy.

Nimirylov, how have you been doing after Ford's disappearance? Have you struggled adjusting to becoming a single parent?

(I hope you don't mind the two questions. You can only answer one if it's easier.)

Thank you for your deep questions. They are not something I would normally think about, so I'll answer to the best of my ability.

Ford is dead. That's what I have to keep reminding myself. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. I know he's not coming back, so even if he isn't officially dead, he's dead. I can't give myself, or Penni, any false hope that he'd return to us.

So Ford is dead. That's what I've told everyone, and if they believe it, then I can make myself believe it. I can handle the stages of the grief for someone who's dead. It's so much harder to mourn for someone living.

Other than trying to make myself believe that, I don't think I'm struggling at all. After all, I can't struggle. I don't have the time for it. Luckily, I've been given less work to do lately (they didn't say that, but I can tell), which means I can focus on Penni more.

Becoming a single parent is a struggle in its own right, of course, but I can't seem to focus on that. Nothing compares to the struggle of seeing how much Penni is suffering because of this. She's so young, too young. I have no idea what to do because this isn't a problem I can solve. No amount of comfort will ever bring her dad back for her. That's the real struggle.

I just wish I knew why Ford disappeared. My only lifeline is that I know he didn't do it by choice. His behaviour is always terribly obvious, and I would have known if he was planning to run away. That way, I could've stopped him... If only I knew why he'd disappeared...

Sincerely,

Prince Nimirylov.

So relatable

give me comments! Give me messages and asks and interactions! Please, it’s my life blood!

me when no comments : -_-

me when comments: :D

Not the most clear but I thought I'd post pictures of the fish language i mentioned in the comments of my last post. This is only what I've got for now but I do want to make it important for my au (which I still need to think of name for).

Quick summary for anyone randomly stumbling upon this and is confused but curious: Instead of being focused on revenge against Bill whilst in the portal, Ford ended up making a home in a different universe. He has a royal fish husband and a fish child (probably a daughter but I might change that). Safe to say, he's even more pissed about Stan opening the portal in this au.

You ignored the second part of that. Even more suspicious.

SANS! HI! Okay, so I need to know. Are you more daddy or babygirl? I want to know about your mutuals, too.

that's. that's one Hell of a question, kid. uh. i don't even know. i'd just go with a third option, which is "silly guy".

@the-real-fastestthingalive @therealstanfordpines and uh any other mutuals who are comfortable answering this?

Maybe I just posted the last one at a bad time or something, I don't know, but I genuinely have nothing to do for pretty much the whole next week.

So please, ask me any questions you have about the Washed Away au. Anything at all, and I will answer it to the best of my ability. I'm kind of frozen at the moment because I have so many ideas in my mind that I just don't know how or which ones to get out.

Genuinely, though, any questions will be seriously appreciated. I really struggle with getting my thoughts out into words effectively, so having direction really helps me. Then, in turn, I'm feeling better in general because my thoughts aren't constantly plagued by this au.

Literally, I always feel awkward reblogging but I feel the need to do this. It's the first time I've been tagged in anything.

1. If you could be any animal, what would it be?

No hesitation, I'm an eastern screech owl. Specifically the red ones. Those are my ultimate favourite animals. My second choice would be an axolotl though.

2. What would you choose in a hurry if you had nothing to wear

I'm assuming this means to go somewhere nice, in which case I'd probably put on any random dress I have. If it just means in general, I'd wear leggings, a t-shiry, and a hoodie or jumper. What I wear everyday to be honest.

3. Are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or mermaid and why do you think so?

Vampire. No hesitation. I'm ridiculously pale, I hate sunlight, and my first reaction to a cut is for me to lick my own blood. People around me already call me a vampire. The only thing going against that is my immense love for garlic though.

4. What is your style?

If I wasn't lazy and if I were rich. I would switch between a sort of alt look or full-on cottagecore. As it stands, though, I am neither of those things. So, instead, I dress extremely casually or way to dressed up.

5. Regular milk or plant based milk?

Hate to say it, but I've never had plant based milk. Only standard cows milk for me. Even if I had though, I don't think it would change my answer because I love milk. I buy milk every time I go to McDonalds. I take the tiny milk packets they give you everywhere and I drink them. I'm a little bit crazy.

6. Milk or cereal first?

Genuinely, I don't eat cereal. I haven't eaten it in years. However, I remember eating rice crispies when I was a kid, and the correct order for that is cereal, milk, sugar. No other way.

7. Favourite way to kill someone?

Ooh, final question, and this is a good one. My first thought was, defenestration, because that is my favourite word of all time. That, however, is much too obvious. I think I'm going to stick with the absolutely diabolical idea I came up with when I was a pre-teen, which is murder via potato peeler.

This was genuinely so fun and I'm so glad I was tagged in this. So, thank you!

I really don't know who to tag, though. I'm not really mutuals with people... (I think it's only tagging mutuals?)

@romanticizing-writing @is-this-name-good-enough

Here you go, though. You're both being volunteered to join this too.

thankyou for the tag @preposterousray 🖤

get to know your mutuals♡

if you could be any animal which one would you choose to be? (can be fictional) (and you can explain why if you want to) I think I would choose to be a bengal tiger because I have always resonated with them 🐅 <3

what would you choose when you're in a hurry and have nothing to wear?

hm, a black singlet top, fishnet tights and black denim shorts with lace, hair in two spiky buns, eyeshadow and lipgloss, some bracelets and obviously my scoliosis brace but that is a mobility aid lol

are you a witch, vampire, fairy, dryad, siren or a mermaid and why do you think so?

I think either a witch (darkness, chaos, magic, freedom, and power, and animals, besides I’m already into witchery) and a vampire (turning into a bat, flying, supernatural powers, macabre)

what is your style?

idk man I love and admire both gothic fashion and punk-rock fashion. diy, scraps, lace, patches, studs, spikes, fishnets, jewellery, mesh, paint, safety pins, stockings, short skirts and shorts, crop tops, weird hairstyles and makeup, expressing individuality and rebellion and the macabre and unusual — and if I’m being formal then thrifted suit jackets and vampy curly updos ✨

regular milk or plant based milk?

regular milk 🥛

which one do you put first milk or cereal?

milk because I am a psychopath

nah I’m actually kidding I obviously put cereal first I just wanted to annoy whoever was reading this

fav way to kill someone? (idgaf if you never thought of it now you have to think of something and make it at least a bit cool I'm begging)

pull one of their eyes out with my fingers, shove a handkerchief into their eye socket, and then throw them the fuck overboard a ship to drown in the unforgiving sea kaz brekker style

Just want everyone to know that Nimirylov does not know that Ford's actual name is Stanford. Ford just introduced himself as Ford when they first met and just... never mentioned his technically real name.

This is pretty similar to what the Nazis did. This is Nazi behaviour, no other way around it. I've never been more glad to not live in America.

If any person in this country does not have due process, then no one has due process. You’re a citizen? Oh yeah? Prove it.

Nimirylov, you are a prince, right? What’s your kingdom like? What do your subjects think about Ford?

Yes, I am, in fact, a prince. The heir of the kingdom, to be specific.

It's a beautiful kingdom in every sense of the word that you can imagine. Although I don't often set foot back there myself, I help to ensure it behind the scenes. Despite the rising political tensions, we are a prospering kingdom. Our economy is stable, our population is balanced, and our people are happy. What more could any kingdom want?

As for how the subjects view my husband? Well, he's simply my consort. He's an odd consort, of course, but it's not much different from my past ancestors taking mermaids as consorts (specifically in the past, it would be very different in this political climate). There is simply no reason for any subjects to object to Ford. He has done nothing but good for our kingdom.

Sincerely,

Prince Nimirylov.

I saw your reblog and could not get that idea out of my head. Good job, I'm in a silly little drawing mood that probably won't last long.

I'm terrible at drawing Ford, but I'm otherwise happy with this image.

It is a spinny chair they're sitting on.

Penni wears almost exclusively puffy princess dresses. Ford thinks they're impractical, but Nimirylov insists upon her wearing them.

Ford can't wear his glasses around Penni because she will steal and probably break them. That is a problem because fish opticians don't exist.

Anyway, that's why Ford is squinting. He can barely see what he's writing but it's worth it because he's spending time with his daughter.

Ford started a new journal in the Washed Away au. He made it blue to;

1. Make it distinct from the original journals which he wants to separate himself from now.

2. Because blue is the colour of his husbands hair and he's secretly a sap.

Anyway, the tiny handprint in the middle is Penni's. Ford had been writing in his journal when she had been painting, and he ended up with a new decoration for the cover of his journal.
