Whatever, go my seagrass AUs!!! đź’Ąđź’Ąđź’Ą
Sea critters Ej and Fern, pretty self-explanatory + various sillies. Ej’s eyes get progressively bigger with each drawing I make of him LOL it’s like looking at photos of pugs before and after selective breeding
Ok so this is a MONTHS OLD one that @draconictoast and I collaborated on! It started as a little doodle for an AU concept inspired by Ej and Fern’s ship name, Seagrass, then it turned into a full-fledged piece thanks to their help :) I did the lineart and they rendered the entire thing (I can’t thank them enough!)
This au wasn’t very well thought out lol I just made a guy, so here’s a bulleted list of what makes this Fern different from our Fern
- Born from the fusion of a sea grass sword and Finn sword
- more “feral” than OG Fern
- has long since discarded his hat since his hair is too wild to fit into it
- after being born, he immediately retreated to the ocean
- has tentacles for a tongue
- has webbed feet (why aren’t his hands webbed also? Couldn’t tell ya)
- his grass demon is cephalopod/kraken-like compared to the OG grass demon which is spider-like I believe (?)
- he has ears I just forgot to draw them đź’€
- motivations are unknown
Depicted here is Ej’s first encounter with him while diving, Ej should be wearing scuba gear and whatevs but this was sketched before I knew that x)
I’ve been hoarding these for quite a while because these are quite weird and I am self-conscious. But they’re here now, in your inbox, so, yay! Hope u likey

HWISJWIJSKWKS SMILES SMES GRINS AND SMILS SO WIDE ALL MY TEETH SHOW
THIS IS SO SO COOL ???????????????
THIS HAD TO OF COME FROM SO MANY THINGS like the fact that fern is a bird guy (now literally) and i one time said Ej would be a selfie and that one meme redraw you did with fig. a while back………………
His eyes being ungodly large is 100% real trust me i Made him it’s true. He’s actually got fairly large eye under there Anyway but his glasses make it HUGE (large eyes he got from his mama because Hyoomans have large eyes because they live in caves.)
also WOAH COLLAB ART??? YOU BOTH DID COLLAB ART ON MY KITTLE GUY???????????? That’s so cool I’m genuinely so excited this is so cool. I’m not good at expressing it but this is so cool. it looks SO GOOD you both did such a good job…. I mean all of it looks great lmao
Also don’t worry about ej not in scuba gear because actually he can hole his breath for like 10 minutes give or take. #hyumanpros also i think im retconning the idea of him scuba diving at this age anyway because it wouldn’t make sense…. He’d need a good boat to get far rough away from shore to do that which he Doesn’t have so yeah no diving for him. He could 100% swim into shallows like shown here though no problem
Iirc i believe the GD itself in the og show did actually describe itself as an “octopus spider thing”.. i just happen to never know how to incorporate the octopus part into my fern so i always focus on the spider parts lol BUT having that instead be the man focus here is such a cool idea. Especially so because you could incorporate the weird tentacles the GK used for this guy nd it would be fitting. Do you think tha instead of fangs like my spidery fern this guy has a beak folded under his mouth (like a squid or octopus)?
Really fun idea wish Seagrass fern is tht he emits bubbles because when plants photosynthesize they release O2.. so everytime he ate he’d make Bubbles
harpy fern with sea urchins in his hair…… Selkie ej with whiskers…………. I also really love that you made ferns chest really fluffy lol because most birds have a prominent sternum thus making them protrude more + i always draw fern with a fluffed out chest anyway so it’d be VERY fluffy here
Sort of unrelated but this got me thinking and if Kelp were a mythical creature he’d be a kappa probably.. or maybe a sort of centaur kelpie
Anyway i really liked this idea so here’s my thing off of your thing
Ok honestly the more i think about sea thing fern and hyuman ej the more crazy i become….. as much as ej enjoys studying normal fern, sea thing fern is RIGHT up his ally. Like, insanely so. Sea thing fern is also like probably lonely as heck given the description you gave + he probably scared a lot of Normal people off so having a weird freak like ej take interest in him is probably the best thing to happen to him. They can als bond over having webbed limbs lol
Sort of curious if you and draconic made any inside jokes based on this too lmao feels like great inside joke material
