Yo, have you ever done anything for Evil Manta or his son, little evil? Even thought they're just in the Ariel cartoon, I think they're pretty cool! Could I get some headcanons for one of both of them? It's fine if you don't want to lol, just a suggestion! Plus, you seem like the type of skilled writer that could draw some sort conclusion as to where little evil's mother is (I have a headcanon that she was harpooned, but I wanna see whatchu got!)! Again, if you don't want to, that's perfectly fine! Just a suggestion from someone who loves underrated characters :)
I had absolutely no idea this character existed before you sent this ask. So please keep in mind that I'm writing this purely based on the wiki pages, three YouTube videos and vibes.
I have a theory.
Because while Manta appears appears to hate all things happy like music, merriment and laughter in general, he doesn't apply that to himself or Little Evil.
He himself has a wicked evil laugh(Thank you Tim Curry.) which causes him no distress despite saying he hates that kind of thing.
He also enjoys singing lullabies to Little Evil, so he can't possibly hate music itself.
So if it isn't the activities or things that bother him, then what the hell is his problem?
I think Manta gets his magic powers from the misery of others, and that he needs a certain amount to function properly.
So logically, people being happy around him would weaken his powers.
His own feelings have no effect on his abilities, because otherwise he'd have to be miserable. All. The. Time.
Round the clock despair.
And no one can or should live like that, so he has to fill his battery by tormenting others.
But what about Little Evil? He's another person, so why wouldn't his joy weaken his father?
Because the name is literal.
He is a small piece of his father's evil power made flesh.
Not that he isn't his own person, he is, he obviously grew his own personality and preferences.
He was just born a little different is all.
But why would he do that? Why wouldn't he be the exact copy he was supposed to be?
I think Manta accidentally added a secret ingredient to the concoction, Chemical X Love.
I think Manta loved him too much.
You can't tell me that genuinely loving the thing you're making out of your own evil being wouldn't effect the results.
Manta, while he still loves and supports Little, is deeply worried over how Little might not be able to cause enough turmoil to sustain his health when he's an adult.
Little will be fine.
He's just gonna be a little shit about it instead of a super villain.
He will ask how thanksgiving with your crap family went, he will ask about the work drama you're going through, he will bring up that latest horrible news story, and he will hate watch The Bachelor with you.
Then you'll thank him for "letting you vent" while he wonders what he should shoot lightning at first.
Please just text him all the happy stuff, joy is like jellyfish, it's only beautiful from a distance.
