OMG IT HAPPENED??? 300 FOLLOWERS?? I know Iāve been joking about hitting it but I genuinely canāt believe it like: you all like my shenanigans? truly? Thatās incredible.
Itās kind of awesome that I hit this on new yearās (for me at least) so let me just take a moment to thank everyone whoās been so cool and supportive. Iāve been having a ton of fun sharing my little projects and interacting with everyone š This is my first time truly engaging in fandom because Iāve been too anxious and depressed previouslyāIām so happy I finally started putting myself out there.
ANYWAYS, DONE WITH THE SAPPY STUFF NOW. Itās time for the thing youāre actually here for!! Iāve put a TON of work into it so I really hope people enjoy this silly little event.
Everendās Cove: Moonlight Song
Every year, Arlo Wakeās hometown holds a Moonlight Festivalāin honor of the connection between the moon and the ocean, and the deep ties it has to certain merfolk cultures. This festival is held in many parts of the Coral Sea, but is specifically popular in Everend Cove for its special tradition of holding a singing competition in honor of one of the townās myths.
As the myth goes, a group of sirens once fell in love with a human boyāso much so that in a selfless act, they saved the boyās friend from drowning, a young girl whom he was in love with. The competition honors the spirit of love and selflessness, and the nature of the sirens.
Much to Arloās horror, his siblings have signed him up for the Moonlight Song competition this year. Thereās no way heās going alone, though. If he has to sing, then heās forcing some of his classmates to come with himāthat way, the attention wonāt be fully on him.
Arlo Wakeās parents are skilled potion masters by trade, and theyāve devised a special, experimental potion this year to turn tourists into merfolk temporarily! It might have a few side effects, but they assure youāany harm the potion causes will be thoroughly compensated!
If you donāt want to risk the potion, thereās always some traditional attire the festival provides. Everend Cove is a joint merfolk and human town, based right around an island, so thereās plenty of things to do both on land and in the sea! The important part of the Moonlight Festival is that you are adorned with sparkling stones and crystals. The more glamorous and mesmerizing the outfit, the better!
For better reference, here are some inspiration boards, and some concept art of possible outfits:
