[angelsdean]

my spn bracket showdown would have immediately started w/ just the dean studies / dean centric + destiel eps asjkdfk. so many eps i'm just like, what were you about?

#hence the need for my current rewatch. like i remember broadly what happened thru out the show but some specific eps i'm lost #also. controversial opinion but i'm not crazy abt motw eps UNLESS they're doing some character study via parallels #like. 1x03 dead in the water or 1x06 skin etc etc #but like. in the later seasons when most episodes were driving the season arc and bigger plots the motw eps were literally filler #and often not good filler :/ there's only so much i can take of the salmondean solving cases show skfjdf #esp when at that point the show had evolved PAST that and should've been fully an ensemble cast show #you know. to reinforce the THEME of *found family* and 'family don't end in blood' #vic.txt

My Idea For The Live Action Little Mermaid

Make a live action Live action Little mermaid movie with an alternate ending. In this alternate ending, which takes place directly after Triton turned Ariel human and she kissed Eric on the beach.

Triton turns himself human and walks on land to join them. He explains that this isn’t a permanent change. He says that he’s giving Ariel and Eric 3 years to see if their relationship will work.

But that he has 2 conditions:

1)      Ariel will spend a year on land, learning about being human

2)      Eric will spend a year in the ocean, learning about the sea

The show will be 2 seasons.

Each season will have 10 episodes.

Season 1: Ariel’s Journey

Season 2: Eric’s Journey

For this to work Disney would need to hire TV actors for the live action movie who could then go on to play on the tv series. So huge big-name actors won’t work, due to how much it would cost to pay them and scheduling conflicts with other movies) Also, the actors would have to be able to sing. (I’ll take suggestions)

Season 1:

1x01: Ariel’s New Beginning.

Summary: Ariel is given her own room in Eric’s castle and, now that she has her voice back. This is kind of a getting to know each other episode. Eric only knew Ariel when she couldn’t talk, and Ariel only had 3 days to seduce him. Let’s slow things down between them. Eric wants to redo the date they had in the movie and talk to her.

1x02: Ariel The Vegetarian

Summary: Ariel finds out about how much fish the Kingdom eats and tries to put a stop to it. Ariel and Eric argue over it, and both make good points. In the end, Eric tells Ariel that while he can't control the rest of the kingdom, he can control himself. He promises that she will never see another dead fish in her dining room and the two eat a nice salad at the dinner table.

 1x03: Ariel’s First Day Of School.

Summary: Now that Ariel has her voice, she turns to Eric for answers to all the questions that she has burning inside. At first Eric is enthused and open to answer any question that she might have, but as the days go on, he slowly becomes irritated with all of her questions. Then when she wakes him up in the middle of the night to ask him about a question he snaps at her, he quickly apologizes and the two talk. Eric asks her to ask him her question in the morning. But after a walk-in town where Ariel sees a child pestering her father with questions and sees the expression on the father’s face is similar to the one Eric has been giving her, she decides that she doesn’t want that kind of imbalance in their relationship. This leads her to talk to Grimsby, Eric's manservant and confidant, who recommends that she go to school. I’d like there to be a nice relationship between Ariel and her teacher.

1x04: Ariel And The Queen

Summary: Ariel finally meets Eric’s mother. Ariel, who lost her mother at a young age, wants to bond with her, but Eric’s mother doesn’t like her. This isn’t resolved in this episode. The episode ends with Eric reassuring Ariel that he likes her and saying that his mother will come around with time. I’d like Ariel’s mother to slowly warm up to her, a bit each episode, not admitting that she likes her to at least 5 episodes.

1x05: Ariel Makes A Friend

Summary: Ariel meets Eric’s sister and the two become fast friends. Eric’s sister does not believe in mermaids and is afraid of the ocean. Ariel tries to convince her that mermaids are real and teach her not to be afraid of the water. (Make sure the two interact at least once in every episode after this one)

1x06: Ariel Meets The King

Summary: Ariel meets Eric’s father. Eric’s father is nothing like her own. He seems to be a gentle king and he and Ariel grow close. Eric’s father tells Ariel a story about having met a mermaid once when he was younger, with a beautiful voice (Hints of it being Ariel’s mother)

1x07: Ariel: The Matchmaker

Summary: Ariel thinks her Eric’s sister has a crush. Ariel tries to figure out who it is. Once she figures it out, she tries to help her friend out, even singing a reprise of kiss the girl while the two are together, but it ends hilariously with her Eric’s sister recognizing her voice and asking what she’s doing. There are 3 possible endings 1) Eric’s sister gains the confidence to ask out the guy herself. 2) Eric’s sister friend doesn’t have a crush on that guy but instead likes a girl who works at the same shop and gains the confidence to ask her out. 3) Eric’s sister friend doesn’t have a crush at all and reveals that she’s never really been attracted to anyone in the town (Asexual ending)

1x08 Ariel’s Surprise Visitor

Summary: Ariel’s sister, Andrina, comes to visit. Andrina is 16 (one year older than Ariel), and is a humorous genius who likes jokes and sarcasm. At first, Ariel is overjoyed to have her sister on land with her. But Andrina seems to adjust to land better than Ariel did, understanding basic things like what a fork is for, etc. And Andrina seems to get along well with Ariel. Ariel begins to worry that maybe Andrina would have been the mermaid better suited for the Kingdom on land and imagines a scenario where Andrina recused Eric instead of her. Later, Andrina admits that she doesn’t like it on land and that she’s glad that she only had Triton turn her human for a week. Ariel thought she would be happy that Andrina was leaving but finds herself wishing her sister would stay. When Andrina goes back in the ocean, Ariel sits on the beach and we end the episode with Ariel looking sad.

1x09 Ariel’s Homesickness

Summary: Ariel misses her family and the ocean. Eric notices her depression and tries to cheer her up. Ariel pretends to be happy, but she isn’t. This leads to her having a one-sided conversation with Max over whether she wants to stay on land. Eric hears her talking through a crack n the door and looks upset. This leads to Eric taking Ariel on another tour of the kingdom and trying to talk things up, and hovering around her more (basically trying to smother her with love) but he keeps catching her looking at the ocean. Then he walks in her room and finds her listening to a seashell. He realizes that this isn’t working and decides to talk to her about it. He lets her know how happy he is that she’s with him and that he’s sorry she’s homesick. He asks if there’s anything that he can do, and Ariel just wants to be alone. This leads to a moment between Ariel and Eric’s mom where his mom admits that she’s grown fond of her and wouldn’t be happy to see her go. She asks Ariel what she misses about the ocean and Ariel tells her. Then we’d have the camera pan out with Ariel talking and Eric’s mom’s hand on her shoulder. Talking about the ocean and what she misses will help and we’d see her smiling and walking with Eric’s mom later.

 1x10 Return To The Sea

Summary: It’s the day before Ariel and Eric go to spend a year in the ocean. Eric feels guilty for being nervous about going, especially with how easy Ariel gave up everything. After a conversation where his father asks if Ariel is worth it, Eric decides that he’s ready. We end the episode with Triton turning Eric into a merman.

 Season 2: Eric’s Journey

2x01 Part Of Your World

Summary: Eric is having trouble adjusting to life under the sea. Ariel is trying to help him. (Role reversal) Eric and Ariel explore the sea together and she shows Eric the place where she collected treasures from Land.

2x02 Eric & Arista: Finders Keepers

Summary: Arista has been trying to control her kleptomania, but in a moment of weakness she stole something. Now Eric has to help her return it because she doesn’t want her sister’s to find out.

2x03: Eric & Aquanta: The Lost Seahorse

Summary: Aquata’s seahorse, Mr. Fuzzyfinkle is missing. Arista didn’t take it. Eric goes on a journey to help Aquata find it. Eric confesses to having his own personal childhood thing at home and understands. Frame the episode like a noir detective episode under the sea.

2x04: Eric & Adella: The Relationship

Summary: Adella and her boyfriend had a fight. Adella goes to Eric to help her fix things between the two of them.

2x05: Eric & Alana: Merman cosmetics

Summary: Alana wants to start a merman cosmetic line and needs to test her makeup out on Eric. Her makeup has a weird effect (possible choices; turning Eric’s skin a different color, making Eric mute, making Eric grow scales on his face, or some other random thing) and they need to work together to fix it.

2x06: Eric & Attina: The Mother

Summary: Attina has been like a mother to her sister’s ever since they lost their real one. She’s not supportive of Eric taking her baby sister away to live on land forever. Attina has always been a little overprotective of her sisters, blaming herself for her mother's death because her tail fins were stuck in a rock when the pirate ship bore down on the kingdom, and her mother swam out into the open to free her, causing Athena to be crushed by the bow of the ship. Eric tries his best to prove himself to Attina. I’d end the episode on a cliff-hanger with a pirate ship coming.

2x07: Eric & Attina: The Pirates

Summary: Attina is still giving Eric the cold shoulder. The two are arguing when pirates attack. Arista’s fin gets stuck and Attina goes to help her. It brings back a flashback to what happened to her mother. Eric helps rescue them. This leads to Attina realizing that Eric is an okay guy. While she admits that she still doesn’t want him to take Ariel away, she acknowledges that Ariel could have picked a worse man to love.

2x08: Eric & Ariel: Battle In The Ocean

Summary: Eric gets in trouble (kidnapped, chased by a shark, held hostage by one of Ursla’s followers, etc.) and Ariel has to work together with her sisters to rescue him.

2x09: Eric & The King Of The Sea

Summary: Triton and Eric spend the day together. Things between them are tense. But slowly thaw as the two get to know each other. At the end of the episode, Triton offers to turn Eric into a mermaid permanently, so he and Ariel can stay in the ocean. Eric asks for time to think about it.

2x10: Eric & Ariel: The Decision

Summary: Eric has been thinking about Triton’s offer. After seeing how happy Ariel is with her sisters, with flounder, and her dad, he begins to question whether going back to the Kingdom on land would be the best thing. It’s almost time for Triton to turn them human and send them back to the surface. Eric proposes to Ariel while they are still mermaids and offers to stay in the ocean with her. Ariel thinks about it and tell Eric that she wants a life with him, and she wants it on land. The two are turned back into humans and they walk out of the ocean to meet Eric’s family.

Now there are 3 options for what comes next:

1)      We have a third season on land focused on the engagement.

2)      We have a movie based around the engagement with someone against mermaid/human relationships trying to put a stop to it.

3)      We make the wedding the season finale.

 And that’s what I would do with the live action little mermaid.
