Wild Kratts - Our Blue and Green World: Part 1: Review [Spoilers]

Welp, here it is, the Wild Kratts TV movie (not to be confused with the feature film they've been teasing us with since 2021). There's been a lot of hype around this special and season, especially with how much the latter was being hyped up during the hiatus. Let's see if the blue and green bros were able to deliver: Spoilers under the cut

Well, this is certainly an attention grabber!

This entire live action intro is shot and edited like an animated Wild Kratts episode, it's glorious.

Woah, intro change!

They said the thing! They said the thing!

HELP THIS IS SO RELATABLE. Also, THE BOYS ARE FIGHTING

Lmao I don't think they do it very often, but using animals/nature in their insults is very creative.

Also, whooping crane episode when?

youtube

This entire song is mercifully short. Like most character sung songs in Wild Kratts, it's not good, but this at least is clever in its lyrics and its visuals. It feels like a Disney reference at best and I am content with that. I also ADORED seeing the Draco and Walrus Suit return again. It's arguably the best musical number in the series. No, that is not saying a lot.

MARTIN WHY ARE YOU THE ONE WHO'S MIFFED YOU NEARLY MUFASA'D YOUR LITTLE BROTHER

CHRIS WHY ARE YOU MILDLY INCONVENIENCED YOU GOT ACRAPHOBIA FALLING FROM THAT HEIGHT

When I first saw the clip, I thought that they were going somewhere with this, like they'd activate Peacock Powers at the end when they recognized the compatibility and blue and green. But nope. Wasted potential is an understatement.

Also, where the fuck are they right now? In a previous shot there was Target the Chameleon, implying that they've been to Madagascar, but that is an Indian peafowl, and as far as I'm concerned, they don't live in Madagascar. Were they just having an off-day? These animals have little to nothing to do with the plot when they really shouldn't have, so I don't see why they couldn't have just shown a projector image or something.

Remember when I joked about the Wild Pony Power Suit returning in S7.... fuck you Apollo.

Man, they are eating it up with the animation here. It's hard to tell with screengrabs but man, is it fluid.

The first half of this episode is mixed. While it feels like the brothers are incredibly stubborn, it also does make sense for them to be this fixated on their favorites. So I can totally buy this. It could've been insufferable to watch, but it wasn't.

As if YOU haven't spied on them since the first time your dorito-headed ass showed up on screen

Did you find that funny? Because not only do they do a similar joke like that later on, but they follow through on that joke in the most unexpected way you will shit your pants when you first ingest it.

Oh my god if they make a Creature Power Suit off of that bird, I will take back any diss I've made, that is so beautiful.

Good to know that Aviva put the button near the chest and not near the back.

Maybe it's just me but this is kinda pushing it. Chris is literally getting his organs crushed, I think that should matter more than A) being right or B) trying to get 2 people to stop fighting.

I'm loving the callback and what this leads up to but ew, all this does is remind me about how ugly bright the color pallatte in S6. Really glad they fixed it in S7.

HELL FUCKING YES

This episode finds really unique ways of showing how the two different biomes are interconnected. It's like Rainforest Stew's (very brilliantly handled) message only to a larger degree. Kids can learn a lot from this.

I fucking love this episode, man.

Honestly, the way they write Paisley in the first half of the episode is very in-line with her character. Most shows that do what this episode does has them be out-of-character as a set-up, but here, she's just roasting the fuck out of Zach. Once again, recontextualized entirely in the climax.

HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET TO MADAGASCAR FROM THE GODDAMN AMAZON IN ONE AFTERNOON THAT IS LIKE MORE THAN 1,000 MILES AWAY?? ARE ANACONDAS THAT FAST?????

Also, INDRIS!!!!! :D

I was frankly expecting this to horribly backfire but spoilers, it doesn't. This actually winds up working. Common Aviva W.

To be continued.... will the blue and green rivalry end? Will one prove superior over another? And will they be able to stop Zach and Paisley and save the planet earth? And will this change the adventures of the Wild Kratts team forever? Stay tuned for part 2!

Pros:

The live action segments.

The animation of the earth's model.

The musical number not being ass.

Paisely's catty behavior.

The Anaconda Suit.

The inventive ways they show how the stability of the Earth is complex. There are a lot of ways it functions and thus a lot of ways it needs to survive

The comedy.

Cons:

The villains do not do anything until the second half of this episode. In fact, they're left completely in the backdrop. I expected them to make their prescence known and for Aviva to invent the discs to get them together for the SAKE of fighting the villains. But no. It makes the stakes feel hollow, which is the opposite of what they should be gunning for in an hour long special that they hype the shit out of.

CONCLUSION:

It was an "okay" set-up. It did live up to some of the hype it had, but not all of it. Honestly if it wasn't for the second half of this episode, this movie would be mediocre or slightly above average, but no. They do pick themselves off the ground and... they do jump the shark. But we'll get to that next time

I spent the last couple days watching Kamen Rider BLACK SUN. Absolutely fucking fantastic show, holy shit. I had very low expectations going in, mainly because it marketed itself so heavily as a reboot, also some questionable decisions in the first few episodes (relating to co-opting of real life protest phrases and Kotaro's... extremely difficult to take seriously ketamine addiction for example, though that second one is definitely more my fault)

It was so worth it though for this extremely honest and angry allegory about Imperial Japan's inhumane treatment of both its own citizens and the people it deigned to conquer, and how conservatives and ultranationalists trying to downplay its actions or support them because it aligns with their own bigotry is extremely fucked up.

Now, there's far more to unpack within BLACK SUN than just that. Even if I had the time to create a massive 10 hour video essay about it, it probably wouldn't be enough. I wouldn't wanna spoil anything, which is why I didn't do my usual thing here, but it is sooo good. Not for everybody, I'm aware. It's very gory and heavy, and it was definitely a bit much for me to process at times, but man do they go hard on the action, the writing, the suit design, the acting, the cinematography, the lighting, the music, oh my GOD it's all so good.

9.1/10, go fucking watch it right now if you're even a bit interested.

Anyways, Geats! I watch that, right? Good thing I'm not watching Delicious Party yet, otherwise this might be even harder whiplash!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Fuck I miss you Keiwa.

-Fare thee well, Tycoon.

-Welp, we're all fucked.

-Yeah, don't rely on Instant Win Conditions.

-It ate the can!

-Adapt and improvise.

-Game Master!

-Who are you behind that mask?

-Egg

-Don't poke the egg, Tsumuri!

-Becomed God.

-I see Keiwa's still featured in the intro.

-Yeah, he's totally coming back soon, don't worry folks.

-Wake up!

-OH MY GOD, THAT JAMATO KILLED A BABY HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

-Egg

-Awwww, Ace's using the Ninja Buckle :)

-Ace, I really have to wonder what kind of things your mother taught you back in the days of the Roman Empire.

-Secret Mission, Clear!

-The Boost is your friend once again, Ace. Now that Keiwa's not around, it's come home to give you a kiss.

-Ponder the egg.

-Buckle Get!

-Propeller!

-Never have children, Azuma.

-Drill!

-I really have to wonder how the Egg Gacha works.

-Put a power drill into a zombie skull!

-"My egg is a late bloomer! It will take its time to grow healthy and stronk."

-Man, how could you wanna go to a normal life after going through all this?

-Neon :)

-No more giving up, huh?

-Man...

-I don't wanna jinx it, but Takahashi really stepped up with his feline female Rider after fumbling Yaiba.

-Seeing Neon say goodbye to her fanbase like that pulled on my heartstrings.

-Traaaaain Azuma train!

-For revenge

-Ace, training all by himself.

-When you stand by yourself, you look like the loneliest creature on earth.

-C'moooooon, crack!

-Let's fucking go, gamers.

-Final Boss Time!

-Begin!

-Oh my god, that's Birth's Drill Arm.

-And that's Build RoseCopter's Batrotor Blade!

-God, I recognized both kitbashes so easily. I don't know if that's a result of Toei being so shameless with them or me being so meticulous about this information. Both are really sad.

-"Wake uuuuuup, Egggg!"

-Zombie Drill Victory!

-Propeller Strike!

-Guess horse man don't.

-Oh, here he comes! The fox!

-Death... only makes us stronger!

-LET'S GO AZUMA

-Holy shit, he's so cool.

-The Buffalo is the Goat.

-FUCK YEAH BABY

-Egg Smash.

-The little Monster.

-Baby

-MONSTER!

-READY, FIGHT!

-One punch! Knock this world out!

-Flyin' out!

-Mission Complete!

-Desire God Met!

-OHHHHHHHH PUNKJACK

-HE SPEAKS

-Good night, monster friend.

-He learned a lot today. And it's all your fault, Azuma <3

-Ohhhh, Azuma :(

-Welp. Congrats, Neon! You lost better than everybody else!

-Why the long face, Tsumuri?

-Oh god, what did he wish for

-Of course. The new world.

-Welcome to the new world, Geats Gamers!

-Oh good, the baby's okay.

-I wonder... do repeat player's wishes... overwrite one another?

-OH THE MASK

-IT'S OFF

-Geats!

-New season pass!

-Whoa, Ace! Did you... make Tsumuri and Giroli live with you?

-Harureya Win?

-Hallelujah Win? Halloween?

-NA-GO MY GIRL GETS HER POWERUP POG

-Halloweeeeeeeen! So says Cosmo.

-Speaking of which, that's tomorrow.

-So yeah. Happy Halloween!

Ahhhh a fellow Hozier lover! It’s me again and your reply made me think of his unreleased songs. They’d fit so well too! Blood for Blackhands Tryin' hard to recognise Some pure motive inside of me A creature that would horrify Any child that I used to be Oh, give no faith to show Started to smile, so I showed my teeth No more than flesh and bone Doin' so much just to watch someone bleed and I Could Be Yours as the softest most moonlit dance hand holding Blackbonnet one. Pls drop your playlist x

I don't think I've listened to his unreleased songs! I'm going to assume they're not on Spotify? Where does one listen to Hozier's unreleased songs? 👀

As for my playlist, I need to preface this with the fact my best friend and I roleplay like... all the time... and so this playlist is for the RP character I ended up with after watching OFMD who has Edward's face. You're welcome to follow it, listen to it, go through it, whatever, but it's 26hrs of hyperfixation songs because of the character, rather than specifically because of OFMD.

(Said character is dating a guy with Stede's face and also he has a guy with Izzy's face he loves but it's Complicated (not only because the guy is mortal and actually dying right now so he's having to face down the possibility of going on without him) and he's having a baby with someone else's gf who he accidentally vampire bonded to himself after a one-night stand he did not anticipate Spiralling. it's been a whole dramatic thing for my poor bean, he's existed like two months and his life is just Drama™ but at least his mom loves him! he's also immortal even before the vampirism because his husband murdered him with a cursed knife and now they're permanently bonded and when one is killed the other takes the brunt of the hit and respawns instead of the person who was killed dying. it's. it's a lot. he's also a genderqueer shapeshifter. it's a lot. i would die for this immortal 500 year old babygirl thank you for coming to my TED talk.)

Our RP characters tend to share quite a few traits with the characters that inspired them though, so you'll recognize a lot of Ed-feels on the playlist if you still decide to look at it after this intro 😂

It only shows the first 100 songs but I promise you there are 412 on this bad boi and I add more every day because the hyperfixation never ends.

Dubbing you Hozier anon now.

Sagau au with reader who hates them (or i prefer despises) after what they have done and just ignore their entire existence (even the kids). They didnt even talk / look them in the eyes (prob insults them-)

Not sure if i already ask this in ur ask box-

|| Wasted chance ||

Note! OH yes the other one is in my inbox I'm very sorry for the very late reply. I was kinda stuck on what to do??? I literally had to like rewrite this multiple times lmao??? Uh anyways I hope i this is OK??? Also Sorted out by nation!

✎...Includes:

❬Information:❭ cult and slight yandere themes, excessive use of the word 'who', slight mentions of abandonment and bleed.

Intro:

Hurting you wasn't their intention. No. They wouldn't hurt you.... Yet somehow they did. But they didn't mean to—they only wanted to protect your honor! They couldn't let an impostor tarnish their god's reputation! Blinded so much by the rage of someone wearing their god's face that they couldn't properly recognize who you truly were. Honestly. What kind of worshipper does not recognize their own God?

Now they can't do anything but watch you mingle with others—others who they thought had betrayed you. Jealousy clawing them like a raging beast when they see you give affection to the creatures they considered as monsters.

That should've been them. But what can they do? They deserved it.

Sinners do need to be punished after all and being abandoned by their God was theirs.

More under the cut!

Mondsadt, the nation of freedom. Full of life, joy and of course freedom. The first ever nation you stepped foot in and the first nation to almost kill you. Unable to forget the memory you doubt if you can still even step foot in there alone without breaking down even when they had apologized and begged for your forgiveness.

You can never forgive them for what they did and they were aware of that. They had harmed you in ways that no one can imagine.

Still they can never stop the burning jealousy whenever they see you interacting with the Hillichurls —or when they see you petting the slimes, decorating your face was a soft smile— they wanted to be the reason why you're smiling! Not some mindless elemental blobs!

But then again what can they do?

The nation's god—Venti—can never stand the painful feeling of something squeezing his heart whenever he sees you hand in hand with the Bough keeper Dainsleif or when he sees you calmly resting with Dvalin. Oh how he wishes it was him with you instead. The dandelion knight Jean, who could only watch as you and Albedo chat— her heart practically breaking when you gave him a kiss on the cheeks. Oh Archons... If only she listened to the alchemist.

And Archons don't even get me started at the uncountable amount of times Diluc almost wanted to rip his hair off in utter jealousy whenever he sees you clinging onto Kaeya's side like a lifeline as you two go on your way to meet Albedo all while treating his presence like a pebble on the side of the road. Eula who had lost all her will for vengeance. What's the point? Compared to her ancestors what she did was worse.

In Liyue it's not that different either. They were aware of what they did, they did almost kill you after all. But as annoying as it is, they were still persistent. Persistent of earning your forgiveness. Ningguang who sends you the most beautiful of gifts—the finest of silks only for it to be teard apart like paper by the geovishap hatchlings, in front of her face nonetheless. She could do nothing but watch as you let those vicious creatures tear and bite the cloth away—mustering nothing but a pained smile as you wordlessly look at her—taunting her even—but she does nothing but promise to bring a better one next time. It's okay, it's only money. She won't hesitate to spend every bit of her money if it means earning your forgiveness.

Zhongli—the nation's former god and your most devoted devotee or so he was. He no longer bears such title ever since he had tried to kill you- even so, he doesn't stop from trying to once again earn your favor, though he'd be lying if he said it doesn't hurt when you look at him with so much hate. He can't blame you but it pains him whenever you ignore him, whenever you throw and destroy the gifts he carefully picked. It hurts whenever he sees you so close with the twins neither can he deny the burning jealousy whenever he sees you treat Azdaha so closely. He has no right to be jealous- Archons none of them do.

Out of all Nations you visit Liyue the most. At first everyone was happy—proud even but you can imagine the disappointment when they realised that you only came there to board the the boats to Inazuma with Kazuha and the twins— Bediou was thankful that she took the samurai in. Even if its just for a short time she can bask in the presence of her God. Though she can't deny being jealous when she sees you so, so close with him nor can she deny the disappointment she feels when you finally leave the ship and onto Inazuman docks.

Speaking of Inazuma, Ei who orders her people to prepare the best room for you— adorning the place with beautiful ornaments she was so sure that you'd like, a king sized bed with the softest of pillows— all those effort and work only for her to be wordlessly rejected by you. Seriously you don't even look at her. Only shaking your head, grabbing Kazuha's arm- heading to the direction of the Kamisato household while the Twins and Paimon followed suit.

Honestly the only reason you even come to Inazuma was for Thoma and Itto, but these annoying pests keep getting in your way delaying you further—like Yoimiya inviting you for a firework show she planned on doing in your honor whenever you try and visit the oni—or Kokomi and Gorou's constant bouts of apology, saying they'll do better. You don't have any time for that!

The Kamisato household welcomes you dearly- not that you care of course - with Ayaka anxiously waiting outside with a hopeful smile inviting you for tea, that smile quickly disappears when you say you're only here for Thoma- she knew that you were only here for him but still tried, a foolish thing to do.

The children aren't treated any different either, of course you don't outright insult them—you just preferred not to interact with them. You know, you know shouldn't be mad at the kids-they were only influenced by the adults. It's the adults that should be punished. They hurt you. They almost killed you.

And as stated before multiple times they know that. They know they fucked up. Big time.

You hated them. But it's alright. Hate them all you want, insult and hurt them if you'd like. They won't fight back. They don't mind getting a hurt as long as its you.

They'll never falter. They love you. They won't stop trying to earn you favor. Beg, cry and bleed if they must. They don't care.

But it's all too late..

What they did is nothing but a wasted chance.

It was an opportunity they lost. An opportunity to serve you. To love you. To be used by you. To be adored by you.

It was all gone and just like how they had abandoned you— you abandoned them.

I am ashamed. This took way too long.

CHARACTER INTROS || The Gossamer Weave

“You watched me.” “I watched everyone.”

Audrey Merrill → Aud ; a mess of a woman who's been stuck in the same rut since she was sixteen ; her life is some sick loop of working day in, day out, with no idea who she is or who she's supposed to be. She's never left the small town she was born in, and she's come to terms with the fact that she'll probably die there. Sick with the discontent of wanting more.

“They took a child without a name and they beat him and broke him until he thought he liked war.” “And what if he does? What if he loves nothing more than blood under his fingernails and the sound of cracking bones?”

Val the Lidian → Val ; Valismos ; Val, he insists, is the only name he wants any more ; he knows exactly who he is and exactly who he doesn't want to be any more ; he goes to Earth hoping to find a home he's been denied his entire life and instead finds reason to go back to the home he wants to deny. Torn between two people – Val the folk musician and Val the Lidian, the bloodthirsty soldier – who are both and neither him.

“It’s always tentative, you know. Everyone is looking for a reason to expand their borders. One ruler makes a misstep, says the wrong title, sends troops to the wrong place to train, and it’s…” “War all over again.”

The Arbor Queen → the ruler of the Boreal clades, always testing her neighbors for weaknesses that she can exploit. She is the youngest of the current monarchs, guided by the faithful hand of the Elytran priesthood in their connection to the Weave and protected by the forces of the Lidians, who are – briefly – loyal to her.

The Skimmer King → the ruler of the Skimmer Sea, a fierce and warlike kingdom that believes all of the land beyond the Weave is theirs by birthright. His people, soldiers and strategists nearly all of them, are frequently torn by intrastate war.

The Waste Queens → the joint rulers of the Waste, a place of plentiful resources and extensive infrastructure that has made them the most stable of the three major powers. They work always together, though no one can agree if there are two or three or four of them, and their clades seem to be ever-expanding.

“The first time I went on campaign was in a naiad division. A hundred ten of us went out and four came back alive, muddy and bloody and rabid with the knowledge that we had killed.”

Tara the Lidian → Taranisc ; a lieutenant overseeing the needs of a small company at war, then a commander with their once-student Valismos at their right hand ; they are harsh and fearless, yet hold a healthy respect for those they face in battle. Now, having risen to the top of the command chain, they would do anything to protect the legacy of the Lidians.

Aër the Elytran → a holder of many secrets, foremost of which is his own name ; he is currently recognized as one of the most powerful of the Elytran priests, holding the Skimmer King in check. There are whispers of internal warfare, of the Skimmer King being no more than a puppet – but whisperers are quickly found and quickly silenced without a trace of blood on his hands.

Tephe the Vespan → Mors ; Morsanteph ; the champion of the Waste Queens, who fights for her own name – for her honor – for the protection of her small family, always under threat in the wavering political sphere. She is considered one of the deadliest duelists alive, and would do anything to prove her prowess.

“They’re people, Val.” “They’re creatures. They’re monsters out of fairy tales—” “So are you.”

Chant → the chosen diplomat of a small city protected by the Weave. No one has found their home for near a thousand years, and when Val and Audrey are brought into it by those who mean well but don't know better, they are tasked with protecting their people – in whatever way necessary.

Silsi → a physician's apprentice who shies away from attention but is, ultimately, fascinated by the thought of worlds beyond her own. She begs Chant for permission to leave the city with them, eager to explore a place with a different kind of sunlight and a different way of life.

Hey, I'm an introvert pan girl, who love to learn new things, watch movie, draw and play games. I love all sea creatures, but orcas are my ultimate fav. I like when my partner is taller than me :3 The ideal date could be either stay at home or go out, as long as we having fun I don't mind. The ocean is beautiful for it's scenery. Sunrise or sunset, the colors mixed together so beautiful! The infinite horizon and the serenity it provides. -aghostwholovemonsters

Neato! Glad you’re dropping in! mermaids are pretty gosh darn tall with those tails and all

Ha, I have to stop making these intros so long probably lol but here we go!

And just a ps to others, sorry if I don’t turn these around super fast. I guess I tend to be pretty wordy and I’m not the best writer. I’m also trying to do these cute little sketches because I thought they might add a nice little touch:

You don’t know how this happened. You don’t know why this happened.

You somehow ended up on a boat trip, four days out on the sea to enjoy the air, watch for animals, and fish. It’s not that it isn’t fun and the scenery is beautiful, it’s just a bit jarring. You had brought a sketchbook and a few games with you just to help you pass some downtime and recharge. On the second day, the water had been rough, which meant no fishing and more company below deck. Of course with most of your fellows below meant there was more room open on the deck. You watched the water’s surface for a while sketching passing gulls and rough waves. You were hoping to spot whales still but you knew it wasn’t likely. Out of the corner of your eye, you caught a glint of something and ran over to look over the railing. Hopes rose for a moment but nothing, but you could feel something out there.

That night after most everyone else went to bed you stayed awake. Usually, the rocking motion was actually quite soothing but tonight it was just too much and you couldn’t fall asleep so easily. You headed above to breathe in some night air and look out watching as a sky full of stars meshed with the shine off the waves. You brought a game above with you, just as a distraction but again, you catch something, just a glint, faster this time you barely can make out a long form just below the surface. You lean out trying to get a closer look, maybe if you just gave yourself a slight boost…slip

You expected your fall to be longer, to feel a slap of cold water and to be engulfed. But someone caught you “hey, hey! Be careful!” you were going to turn and thank them when you realized you didn’t recognize the voice. Back on your feet firmly on deck, you pull your arm from their grasp and to your chest it feels slimy. You come face to face with a lithe figure a good foot taller than you, truthfully kind of androgynous. Their skin was almost a pale lime color and a long deep green mohawk was plastered down covering part of their face.

“Ok, like, don’t freak out” They held up their hands trying to keep you calm.

But like, you freaked out. Quitely, mostly internally, but a freak out nonetheless. You opened your mouth but nothing came out for a moment. You stared more, examining this person with a strange skin color and, would you look at that, a long smooth tail coiled beneath them. You took a deep breath

“Right. What are you?” You were surprisingly calm.

“It’s not obvious?” Judging by their tone they feigned hurt

“Some sort of snake-person?”

They dropped their shoulders and shook their head with a sigh they said: “yeah,yeah..no I’m not a snake…” They looked back up and forced the biggest grin they could and shouted “I’m a mermaid!” and spread their arms in a ta-da like fashion

“Don’t shout! You’ll wake everyone up! Aren’t you supposed to be like a fish then?”

“Hey, there’s more than one kind of mer. I’m more of an eel myself” This was an energetic person, to say the least, they don’t stay feeling down for long it seems.

“Right…uh, I’m (y/n)”

“Oh! OH! I’m sorry! Wow, I spaced on that! I’m Moray! Get it?” They laughed at their own joke. “It’s nice to meet you” Moray extended a hand to you which you grabbed, it wasn’t as slimy as you thought it might be, cold but nice.

“Soo…what brings an eel-maid like you onto a boat?” You asked

“I just thought it was interesting, what brings you out to sea?”

“I thought it would be interesting” You smiled at each other and at the same time realized you were still holding hands. You both pulled away blushing and looked down awkwardly.

“So um, what’cha got there?” Moray asked shyly gesturing to your handheld which had been almost forgotten.

“Oh! Um, just a game, do you want to play?”

The mermaid’s eyes lit up mesmerized by the glow of the colors “yes please” she whispered.

Before you knew it you were both curled up on the deck, you almost in the mermaid’s lap, as you showed Moray how to play. You stayed up most of the night laughing and grumbling over more challenging levels. When Moray lost their last life they sighed and handed the game back and you’re most certainly in their lap at this point. “Looks like the sun will be up in a couple of hours and I think your other friends may freak out, won’t they?” Moray smiled but seemed a bit sad.

“Probably” You lightly laughed “but um, this was fun, and this trip still has a couple of days left, if you want to come back, maybe?”

Moray broke out into a smile that could be barely contained on her face “Yes! I would love that! Date number two! You’re on! Oh! And I have a great idea”

“What do you mean? What idea? Date?” you asked surprised.

The energetic mermaid climbed up onto the side of the boat and dropped most of her long tail into the water and turned back to you. “You’ll see, you should probably get some sleep in” With that Moray gave you some finger guns and dropped herself into the water. You decided to take the advice, more tired than you realized. Of course later that day you were woken by a friend “Hey, (y/n) get up here! Quickly!” They sounded excited, and for good reason! A whole pod of whales surrounded you and you had the feeling a certain mermaid had something to do with it. You grabbed a sketchbook and enjoyed the show, looking forward to your next date.
