“Ariel sold her voice for legs just because of a guy“
Meanwhile Ariel with legs;
Ariel already loved the human world long before meeting Eric (you don’t get a collection like hers overnight) and when she finally got a chance to explore it, she took it.
Ursula made it more about Eric than Ariel ever did.
“She lightly traces a finger along the side of his face, observing him now in the morning light. She wishes they could sit together and talk about all the wonderful places they dream of exploring. She could tell him how limiting being the sea king’s daughter is sometimes. Ariel is aware she doesn’t really know him, but after listening to his words on the ship, she feels like she could share all her deepest thoughts and he’d understand. She never had that before.”
Sometimes, you just have to rewrite/rework the things you don't like in your favorite shows for your own sanity.
For instance this scene:
Oh sure I could just let this be as a simple joke about how obsessive Donnie is over April.
OR
I could believe that Donnie has memorized most or all of NYC’s layout and, with that information, he can calculate the distance between any two points in the city. Why does he do this you might ask? Because he is a massive overthinker.
He wants to know how far everything is or should be just in case something bad happens. Like for instance: if he was somehow blinded, he'd know how many steps he is to the nearest manhole cover or to any safe place he can think of.
His knows how far April’s apartment is, not because he has a crush on her, but because it's the result of survival tactic he’s perfected.
The way they gave us these 3 first episodes is actually so satisfying because I feel like I got a whole season already with all this shit happening (especially with this ending) and now I’ll have to wait several months (or a year or more) in a brain rot to know/see what’s next. But, wait ! Actually NO, that’s next week and I just SQUEEEEEEE !
I just noticed I didn't tell you yet--which is shameful as it is Tumblr where the Mermaid Scientist was born!
My Mermaid Book was picked up by Eye of Newt and is available for pre-order right now (it's coming out very soon, though, so any orders should make it until Christmas if that's a concern of yours)!
If you're in North America, I'd suggest ordering directly through my publisher's website, however it's available anywhere you'd usually order books. You can ask your favourite indie book shop to order it for you or--if there's no other option or you're worried about crazy shipping costs where you live--it's available via the place starting with A, which shall otherwise not be named, as well.
Please note: This is an edited version of the original book. It's shorter, but with more coherent world building and a beautiful new layout and design. It's a proper field guide now!
I never got to look at irl pictures of moray eels for too long but now that I'm designing the tweels and I'm analyzing how they look I came to the conclusion I don't like them at all they scare me so much
