I’ve been thinking about Mira from D20 Neverafter.

For one, I absolutely love her. She’s amazing and can do no wrong and I would’ve loved to spend more time with her.

But to do a little *analysis* I find it particularly interesting that she never goes back to being a mermaid. The story of the little mermaid works very well as a trans allegory and the fact that Mira never reverts back to being a mermaid in neverafter feels very respectful of this reading.

Mechanically, keeping her a mermaid or at least giving her water powers would’ve added flair to her fighting (similar to Rapunzel’s prehensile hair), but that never happens. Mira never returns to her original body, because it’s not her true body. Instead of experiencing humanity and realizing that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, that the grass is always greener, Mira gets to keep her legs and truly become the body she always wanted, even if that comes with pain.

And the most important thing is that she never even asks to be a mermaid again. When she has her moment with the sea witch, we never hear (and her body language never shows) her begging for a tail again, to go back to the water. It may be painful, but Mira’s body is her body and she never tries to change it once it fits how she feels.

I’m not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet or if this even makes sense, it’s just my ramblings too late at night, but idk to me this is something that really stands out about neverafter’s take on the little mermaid. As a cis woman obviously I am less qualified to talk about this stuff, and I’d love to hear trans people’s perspectives on this.

Anyways huge props to Mr mulligan, he’s done it again.

All I'm saying is that at least Elody has some form of context for why Gerard/Destiny's Children left. Maybe after what Gerard said or after reading his letter, she'll be able to peice it together herself. I definitely don't think she'll let her guard down now until she gets some answers.

Mira, on the other hand, has nothing. She is going to wake up to the handful of people who she trusted to help her now gone. She can't go back to the sea, she can't breathe there. She can't go back to her prince, he doesn't want her. These other princesses who are left, they want her.

All I'm saying is when Rapunzel, Snow White, and Cinderella try talk Mira into their grand plan. They might find it easier than expected. What does she have left to lose?

[id: a digital drawing of mira from the d20 series neverafter. mira is depicted as a young woman with light brown skin and long dreads that ombre into a light blonde at the ends. she is dressed like a stereotypical pirate, with a red sash tied into a bow around her waist, patchy blue trousers that are torn at the knee, a white billow-sleeved shirt and a red bandana tied around her head. her lower half is positioned in a dancer’s pose, while her hands cup the sides of her throat.]

third in my princess series: little mermaid | sleeping beauty | snow white

rapunzel's prehensile hair reminded me of entrapta from she-ra and uh. well i drew a bunch of the other princesses in that style lol

la bete's a bit out of place but i wanted to draw her a bit more "beastly" than in her official art

Can I just say? So fucking happy that the gang got Mira to switch sides right away. They brought her into this mess and then left her there with the princesses -- not their fault I know -- but then to have Pinocchio’s first priority in battle be to magic himself over to the girl he and his friends saved from his island (whose dad gotten fuckin eaten in front of her by his story) and talk to her about their snowball fight??? Like she was all alone! Her story is so tragic and she was all alone, just being tossed from group to group, always in danger, no control, and then the Boy of Destiny was like ‘no, you are our friend, and we will help you have choices from this point on, even if that choice is to remove yourself from the danger and not help us, that’s fine’.

Also love that that was followed by Pinocchio shoving Gerard/The Frog, and going “Ok! See? That wasn’t so hard! Now go do that with your wife!!!”

ALSO! YLFA’S FIRST MOVE REGARDING MIRA BEING TO FINALLY BE HER MOUNT, MOVE HER AROUND THE BATTLE BOTH BECAUSE YLFA CAN RUN FARTHER AND SO MIRA DOESN’T HAVE TO BE IN PAIN IS SO SO GOOD! YLFA ALWAYS WANTING TO CARRY HER FRIENDS AROUND, BUT ESPECIALLY FROM THE MOMENT THEY MET WANTING TO CARRY MIRA AROUND MAKES MY CHRONIC PAIN HAVING ASS SO EMOTIONAL, UGH!

I feel like there is going to be a princess schism in the upcoming episodes because on one hand you have Snow White and Cinderella and Rapunzel and La Bête who seem to be pretty committed to the idea that they are inherently corrupted and in order for something better to happen all traces of the past including themselves must be destroyed

VS

Elody, who just met the man who failed her deeply and died a hero in a rather futile battle, coming back and apologizing for his mistakes and acknowledging that things are hard and that he let her down, but he is committed to becoming better, to trying, because that’s all you really can do and even if she never reciprocates again he will continue to try to be better, not for her sake but for the sake of others that he has grown attached to

Rosamund, who despite having the shit kicked out of her in terms of destiny and unsure if true (romantic) love even exists is fully committed to the group she has found herself in and in particular wants to make their lives as happy as possible from trying Pinnochio’s awful cocktails to hyping Ylfa up and trying to get her a training bra, Rosamund who is so full of love, maybe not for the stories, but for the people in them, and on some level recognizes that she is in control at least partially of ‘the stories within the stories’ that hurt her the most and she can tell different kinder ones

And Mira, who we don’t know a whole lot about yet other than that she would rather her Prince be happy without her than dead, who reconciled with Alba’s role in her narrative quickly and doesn’t seem to blame for the choices she made, and whose story in the neverafter diverged from its most common, oldest rendition not because she chose to kill her prince like Alba expected but because she refused to commit suicide after losing everything, because she found herself in pain and alone and separated from everything she ever knew and REFUSED to die

#Mira listening to Rosamund spill the tea: oh fuck that let’s go #neverafter #neverafter spoilers #d20 #d20 neverafter #dimension 20 spoilers
