#the whale who wanted to sing at the MET

[queenfishie]

My father sat me down and had me watch Willie The Operatic Whale, he said he only remembered a part where he sings “Fígaro” and he knows I like whales obvs.

Gets to the Shortnin Bread number and I’m hooked. leaned in. Willie himself looks like a loaf of bread with flippers so I’m in love immediately.

Around 15 minutes later, im sobbing and my mother was scolding dad for showing me the video in the first place.

Now the fucking whale won’t leave my head, he’s too cute.

LOOK AT HIMMMMM!! 😭😭😭

[annaberunoyume]

That crack pairing in the video above inspired me like a flash to make my own crack pairing, tonight as I was watching Pinocchio:

Monstro x Willie (from the Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met)

Willie: Now, now, dear, we don't need to chase those humans on that raft. How about we sing, instead?

Monstro: Grrrrr…

going to provincetown would fix me

Leo: Now now, don't be like that. Just replace the swear words with 'beep' and you'll be fine.

Raph: Shit the beep up.

Leo:

Raph: SHUT, DAMMIT! I MEANT SHUT!

happy birthday suguru .ᐟ | headcanons

WORD COUNT ;; 952

SUMMARY ;; headcanons for how suguru spends his birthday with satoru, shoko, mimiko and nanako .

SASHISU ;;

– Suguru was never one to do much for his birthday, much preferring to plan events for other people rather than doing anything big for himself, until he met Satoru and Shoko.

– Satoru and Shoko always argue about what they want to do for Suguru’s birthday. Satoru always wants to make it into a big production whereas Shoko just wants to take him out for lunch or something.

– After the arguments are sorted out, they usually decide on taking him out for lunch, then give him a couple options for outings that they prepared and let him choose which he would prefer to do. Then, they go back to one of their dorm rooms, order pizza and watch all of Suguru’s favourite movies together. To finish the night off, Satoru and Shoko present him with a little cake ( they always sing to him too ) as well as their gifts.

– Suguru always insists that they don’t have to do nearly as much as they do for him, but he deeply appreciates that they care so much about him that they always want to celebrate with this little tradition.

– The last time that they all celebrated his birthday may have been the first time that Suguru ever cried in front of Satoru and Shoko. Despite the three of them always being so busy after the Star-Plasma Vessel incident and him having somewhat begun to isolate himself from them, his best friends still took the time to plan and make sure he was happy on his birthday, and that hit him in a way that he just couldn’t help but cry.

– One of their outings has been to the arcade, where Satoru and Shoko pooled all their tickets together with Suguru’s to win him whatever prize he wanted as an additional gift. He told them both that they should keep them, but they insisted ( well, Shoko did at least. )

– Another time, they just went to the candy store and filled their buckets up with as much candy as they could before they overflowed.

– Piggybacking off of my hc that Suguru and Shoko still saw each other after he left, Shoko took him out drinking on his 20th birthday. Though he did enjoy going out and spending time with her, part of him was saddened due to the two of them and Satoru always saying that their first time really going out for a drink was going to be together.

– After Suguru left, he and Satoru secretly met for his birthday for several years. They never did much, all they wanted to do was cuddle on Satoru’s couch and never leave each other’s arms until the sun came up. Satoru would always try his best to make sure Suguru felt extra loved and valued on his birthday. He may not have agreed with his ideals, but he absolutely adored him, and he wanted to make sure Suguru knew that on his special day.

– Suguru always wears a little candy bracelet with a heart charm that he refuses to take off or eat. It was a birthday gift from Satoru, who had a matching one, ages ago, and it reminds Suguru of him every time he looks at it. Whenever he may feel unloved by the world, he pulls up the sleeve of his robes to look at it, and it always reminds him that he is loved by the most important person in the world to him.

– Suguru’s favourite gift from Shoko has been an enormous beluga whale plushie. Even years later, he kept it in the corner of his room and hugged it when he was in need of comfort.

– One year, Satoru and Shoko teamed up to make Suguru a scrapbook of all of their best memories and photos together. It took everything in him not to cry when he saw it.

SUGURU, MIMIKO && NANAKO ;;

– After he left Jujutsu High, Suguru never thought he was going to have any fun celebrations or sweet traditions for his birthday again. He expected to, for the most part, think of his birthday as an afterthought and simply focus on pursuing his ideals like he would any other day.

– Mimiko and Nanako had other ideas, however. When they were younger, they would both make him little cards and try their best to be independent for the day so that he had a chance to rest after working so hard for them.

– Nowadays, they still each make Suguru a card, but they also like to get some of the other members of his group to take them to their favourite crêpe shop so that they can bring some home for the three of them to share and surprise him.

– The girls love to spend as much time with Suguru as possible on his birthday, wanting to show how grateful they are to have him as their dad and make him feel appreciated.

– One year, they treated him to a little at-home spa day to help him relax. He ended up with the smoothest complexion a person can have after a facial, and flowers braided into his hair.

– Like Satoru and Shoko, the girls also like to bring Suguru a cake and sing to him every year.

– The year after Suguru’s death, everything felt so empty on his birthday. All the girls wanted to do was at least have a grave to sit by and try to talk to his spirit at, but instead, they were faced with Kenjaku, using Suguru’s body for his own gain rather than allowing him to rest in peace.

[honey-minded-hivemind]

Oooh! Can I ask for something with a reader who's a type of whale calf? They probably have a very shy or calm personality and sleep a bit more than the average pup. The yanderes are trying hard to coax them away from their lonely little cove, with food or colorful shells, they clearly don't belong on their own! It doesn't matter how big they are, they still need someone to care for and look after them!

Also I'm back too ( ᐛ )

🐑 Anon

Oh, hi again 🐑 Anon! I think I can do that! Let's dive in-

Whale calf Reader is a big, lonely mer, who sleeps on their own in a small little cove, which happens to be near the platonic yans' territory. The platonic yans think at first they heard a whale call, so it was better to check their territory and get any rival sirens away or carefully move any whales along (or to adopt any guppies who they came across)... That's how they find Reader, all alone and sadly calling out for any other mers. Right on the spot, the platonic yans want to adopt Reader-

Reader was actually calling for other whale mer, but is puzzled by all these smaller ones who keep coming near them. They're able to talk to them, telling them they were waiting for their parent or pod to come back, and that they've been there for quite some time... That's met with a few hugs and pats, and the larger ones trying to persuade Reader to leave their small cove... It doesn't go over very well. The yans are met with a resistant guppy/pup/calf, who refuses to leave the only home they have, and one who cries whenever they mention the possibility their parent or pod might be dead. So what is their next best solution?

Try to show Reader that they aren't so bad to be with.

They have to keep them fed, so why not chase food towards them, or help them catch it? Reader needs to kept warm, so let the platonic hans just hug them and sleep nearby, okay? There's a boat that keeps making too much noise and it disrupts Reader's navigation? Well, it's gone now. The yans keep trying to provide for Reader, wanting to move then away from their little world and into theirs'... It's just taking some time.

They eventually get Reader to go with them, only after a lot of time of getting to know each other and helping each other out. Reader helps scare away larger predators and helps catch food, and the platonic yans provide a nest and pod and warmth for them. In their eyes, it's a win-win! And now that their friend/sibling/kid is with them, they aren't allowed to leave. They won't be able to go anywhere without one of them tagging along, ready to play with them or to attack any danger...

(If one of the yans is a whale mer as well, they especially bond with Reader, going on late night swims and eating prey together and getting to sing their specific calls... And they're big enough to hug all of Reader, not just an arm or their fin or their tail...)

Went thru another one of Mr. Keith’s journals, this one from 1866-69 when he’s second mate (later first) on the whale ship Cape Horn Pigeon. Every journal entry is addressed to his wife (who was also on his mind on other voyages prior to his marrying her). The thought of her dominates the pages more than anything else, and is a very personal insight into the mind of a man who chose to make the sea his living, for all its distance.

“All day on deck today and have been as homesick as a dog all day. To Night I have got all night to sleep in. I have been fitting the Main Top Gallant brace blocks on the mizzen took down the double ones And put up single ones. Last Night I was dreaming of you I woke up Some time in the night and kissed your picture and went to sleep Again and went to dreaming again of you. This is all I can say to you To night in this book but I am going to write some in your letter. So thousands of sweet kisses to you darling Sarah Good Night.”

More entries under the cut for length.

He was homesick and lovesick often, thinking his shipmates wouldn’t understand.

“There has been a lot of ships in sight to day all of them with the exception of One was bound to England and she was going to America and Oh Sarah Darling how I thought of you. How I wish I was on board of her Bound to see my lovly Companion. I could have cryed but these hard Hearted sailors who have no wives and home would laugh at me.”

Every aspect of his daily life reflected back to how she was faring, from being thankful she didn’t have to drink the ship’s stagnant water, to how he entertained himself and others on deck.

“This forenoon was very unpleasant for it rained until Twelve O clock and I did not change my clothes until after dinner I got wet through by being out in the rain washing my clothes. This Afternoon has been pleasant and my men have been getting out Fresh water to drink and such water, Sarah I am glad you do not  have to drink it. I have got all night to sleep in. I have just come down from the deck where I have been playing the Accordion and thinking of you. I always feel sadest when I Sing or play. Darling girl a pleasant night to you dream dear Girl of your Marshall who at the time you dream will be thinking of you Sweet one I must say again Good Night Sarah Dear.”

He often made note of his dreams that swung between the erotic, the homesick, and the anxious, and often a mix of the three. Here was one about getting caught with a Different Sarah.

“This has been a nice day Sarah not a breath of air Stirring I have been on deck all day and felt some better than I did yesterday but far from being well. I have set up the Head rigging to day. Last night I dreampt I was at home and in some strange house standing in the door way you came Out and passed me. I asked you where you were going. You Said after water. After you left me Sarah Munroe came Up to me and asked me if I wanted to see some thing. I told her yes. She open her dress in front and showed Me her bubies she asked me if they looked pretty I told her yes. I asked her to let me feel of them. She said yes. I asked her to let me kiss them she said yes but don’t let Sarah Pope see you just as I was in the act you came in sight and caught me and Oh what a blessing you gave me. Sarah I will tell you more bye and bye. I must Close by saying many kisses to you Good Night Darling Wife.”

For whatever other women were in his mind during the voyage, he made a point to mention that the dreams turned back to her.

“Had a quear dream a regular sailors dream which is always About the women. delacacy prompts me from writing the Most of it but the last of it was about you. I met you and you asked me where I was going I told you to the barbers to shave all of. I thought you kissed me and asked me not to shave off my mostash. I told you I would not But you said it was twelve O clock and I had better go to bed I said all right you know I never refused to go to bed with you in my life. I must say Good Night Darling Sarah.”

Sometimes the dreams were influenced by anxieties met in life. When he didn’t receive an expected letter from her (which hardly reflects on whether or not she wrote him—receiving letters aboard vessels was a long and uncertain process), he had a dream mixed with both his doubt of her life ashore but also his hopes.

“This has been a nice day Sarah and I have been to work very hard but that did not take my mind up so but what I felt bad on account of not getting a letter from you. You will not neglect me again so will you Sarah. Last night I dreampt I got home and I Came into the kitchen and saw your mother (and my Mother) sitting there by herself. I asked her where Sarah was She said you were in your room taking care of the Baby. I asked her whose baby it was. She said it was mine. Then I came in and saw you sitting down with a pretty Little cherub in your lap and it looked so good to me I asked you whose it was you said it belongs to me. And out of a joke I told you it never was mine. When you came up to me and cryed and kissed me and said it belonged to me. So Sarah after you have slighted me you see you have a space in my dreams of pleasure still.”

Eventually he did receive word from her, and learned that his dream proved true.

“This has been a pleasant day Sarah and This morning when I got up that island was in sight what Held your letters for me. At Twelve O Clock the capt went on Shore and at 5 he came of and had Two letters for me. One from you and one from Aurelia. The one from you was No 1. Sarah I must bid you pleasant dreams with your little baby for it was tonight I first learned that you were going to have one.”

In addition to homesickness, he often mentioned physical sickness, usually pains in his side. His health issues and day dreaming led to friction with the captain.

“It has been a nice day today but I have been sick all day and this noon. I could not eat my dinner and I stopped on deck while the rest got their dinner. I sat close to the door on a chest and I heard the old curse say there is a man on board this ship that wishes himself At home I wish he was there. When he came up I pitched up to him and I gave him enough of it. What is more he could not stop me. Last night I was very sick in the night and I wanted to make water. I had a bottle in my bearth and did not feel like going on deck so I used it for that Purpose and this morning I forgot to throw it over board. This fore noon the Old Hog went into my room to look for some Screws and he saw the bottle he smelt of it and Accused me of taking something to make me sick. Oh Sarah that most killed me. I have cryed all the afternoon just on that account. And he went as far as to tell me I hold my Wife too well he said he thought you were in my mind most of the time and that I wanted to see you so much that I was making my self sick to get home. And what do you think I called him. A god damned fool and a liar.

At one point he seems to consider his sickness to be pregnancy sympathy pains.

“This has been a pleasant day Sarah but I have been feeling very bad bordering onto sickness and a very bad pain in my side but I do not think it strange as you are about to have a child. I think I have been sick enough over one child. Oh Sarah Darling how I do and have pitied you for my suffering has been nothing compared with yours but I hope on this pleasant day they are all over. And I hope you will not have an other one while I go to sea. I must bid you good night my dearest angel Good Night.”

His dreams now often featured the baby as well, and again was a mix of hope and anxiety.

“Oh if I could see my Wife to night I would not feel as I do now but that is impossible. Last night I drempt  I was at home and met you in the street and kissed you and I thought you kissed me but you done it in such a way I thought  you did not care much about me, for you kissed me quick and turned away from me. I asked you what you had named it (the Baby) and you told me its name was Hannah Rachel Keith. Then you said to me I hope you like the name. I thought I was with you until bed time and we started to go to bed and just as we were going into the bed room I woke up and found myself on board the Cape Horn Pigeon a long way from my darling Sarah. Sarah kiss Hannah Rachel for me and I will bid you both good night.

He later learns from a letter that the baby was named Susie Rachel. When whales were captured, he always thought of them in terms of dresses for his wife and things for his baby.

“It has blown most a gale to day Sarah and I have been to the Mast head seven hours where the wind could Blow through me. But it was not for pleasure that I done it. It was to look for whales that we might catch them what I could earn something for my wife and child but could not see any thing. And the wind has blown my eyes almost out of my head. But I feel that was done for a good cause Sarah. I can not say much to night but nevertheless I love you as Fondly as before and shall continue to do so as long as we are permitted to live. Darling Sarah kiss that sweet babe for me and I must bid good night to those who alone I ask to live for. Ten thousand kisses to you Sweet Sarah.”

At one instance he wrote, ‘I am wet through with oil Sarah at the presant time But I know you would not disown me if you saw me now.’ It was his life, and it was through that life that he saw his ability to provide for a family, however distant they may be. In this frame of mind, one more to close:

“We are boiling our whales Sarah and I am covered with oil but it makes the money come and it is all for you. I could live in oil for your sake. I must close and go on deck until 1 O clock at night. Kiss my babe for me. Good night Sarah.”

Random list of water family headcanons that no one asked for

Warnings: Yandere Aspects, Dom!Goddess, Stalking, BDSM, Ultimatum, etc.

Author's Note: Just a random blurb about a goddess OC who doesn't take no for an answer. Enjoy!

Being a goddess means you have everything at your disposal. Almost every need or want was fulfilled by your loyal devotees & servants. Any challengers or dissenters were met with a painful demise. Your powers were limitless.

You didn’t have access to one of your desires though—Namor. You had watched him for about a century. You studied every detail about him. Every word, every attribute, every tale from anyone who knew him. He was perfect for you.

You learned that he was a mutant that ruled the deep-sea kingdom of Talokan. He was worshipped by his people, just like you. The Talokanil called him the Feather Serpent God. He showed no mercy to the prying eyes of the surface would. This made you yearn for him even more.

Some of your past lovers died from old age or sickness. Some were banished from after you realized they couldn’t handle you. Something was missing. You were meant to share eternal love with a god & a god only. You had to meet him.

--

Near the Puerto Rico Trench, you sat on a jagged rock near a sea cliff. You were far from any shore. Waves were steady and the weather was mild. The frigid saltwater licked at your feet. The sun had just set, and the sky displayed beautiful oranges & purples. You felt the presence of all marine life around you. You could change anything about this, but you didn't. You enjoyed observing nature without intervention.

Feeling inspirited by your surroundings, you began to sing a siren song. It was the most beautiful melody anyone could hear--befitting for a goddess. The wind began to pick up. Humpback whales nearby began responding to your music. Your voice began to overshadow the susurration of the ocean.

--

Namor's routine was interrupted by the sonority of chorale. This was especially unusual as Talokanil sirens only sung to lure intruders to death. As melodious as their songs were, they never sang like this. He worried if Talokan's existence was threatened once again. He decided to investigate.

Swimming toward the surface, he saw a pod of whales gathered near the bottom of a cliff. The clicks & bellows they made signaled excitement. This was another oddity as they would dive to feed at this time, and there was no food here. He swam through the pod as the song grew louder. Peeking his head above water, he saw a woman resting on a rock. At this point, he worried that he was dreaming. No human could've made it this far out in the ocean. He dived under & swam closer in an effort to stay covert.

Although you didn't see him, you knew he was close. You can't say that you didn't sing to lure him out, but you loved to sing anyway. You couldn't help that it caught his attention. Looking into the water, you saw his face. You stopped singing and smiled brightly. It was obscured by the movement of the water, but his eyes were stark. You fluffed your hair & waited for you beloved to greet you.

Suddenly, Namor's spear flew from the water and nearly went through your head. Luckily, you caught it in mid-air. You saw him emerge from the water and dart through the air like a hummingbird. It was clear that he anticipated an attack. He stopped & turned around quickly to see if you were dead. To his surprise, you were unharmed with his prized possession in your hand.

"Now, is that any way to greet a goddess?" You teased.

Namor remained silent in a state of shock. He was floored by your nonchalance. Your glamour was a plus. His pride stung at the fact he was lured like a fish on a hook. No one brought this kind of hysteria out of him.

Namor then rested on the cliff above and stared down at you. You heard him speak. His voice was like velvet.

“Who are you & what could you possibly want from me?” He inquired.

In the blink of an eye, you were next to him. He was even more gorgeous up close. You sat his spear down & caressed his cheek with your thumb. Namor felt compelled to pull away but didn’t.

“Love. You and I are just alike. Two gods locked in the prison of immortality. We’re made for each other. Eternity deserves our union.” You explained, brushing your thumb against the prickles of his beard.

Namor finally realized who had been watching him for all these years. He was alarmed by your overzealous sentiments but was curious about what you could offer. None of his past flames burned quite like this.

“I would destroy a thousand civilizations if it meant I got to lay next to you each night. Without you, I am nothing. I would go to the ends of the universe for you, K’uk’ulkan.” You confessed, leaning in closer. He kissed you gently and lingered for a few moments. Your heart fluttered at the sensation of his warm breath on your skin. You then kissed him back with wild abandon. You felt as if all was right in the world.

--

“Je’el in diosa/Yes, my goddess.” Namor purred, pulling against his restraints. His hands were bound to the headboard as you rode him. You felt every inch & vein of his manhood. Your arousal dripped down his shaft. Namor felt like this was the most beautiful sight he’d ever seen: Your skin glistening with sweat. your breasts bouncing with every motion, and your face twisted in pleasure. He ached to grab at the plush flesh around your hips.

For days on end, both of you explored the sanctuaries you resided in and that of each other’s bodies. The delectation that was created between you was marvelous. Codependency was made as well. This was better than any mortal could offer you. You had finally achieved your century-long objective.

Day 2 of redacted "what ifs"

I know mermay is almost over but i can't stop thinking about who in redacted would be mermaids and how the romances would work. So here. I tried to stay as close as I could to the original tomance storylines as I could.

Damn crew first

Gavin and FL-

Gavin is a merman (specifically a siren) while FL is a shifter that just recently found out they can shift. When they met, Gavin was singing in a large cavern and FL wasn't drawn in by it even though they appeared human. They got to know eachother after a while and Gavin started looking for a way to shift to a human form so he could spend more time with FL. FL had started to meet other merfolk including Hux, Dames, Laz, and eventually Kody. For some reason they were drawn to FL (FL having some type of energy close to what lovely had before they were revealed to be a latent). Kody (shark merman cause predator), pulled FL into the ocean. FL had shown a fear of the ocean for a while up until that point and freaked the fuck out when Kody did this. Luckily, Hux was near and he scared Kody away. From there FL tries to deal with this while also still having a life as a human to. Eventually they ditch the human life and live with Gavin in the ocean city.

Freelancers, including Sam, would probably be able to shift to whatever kind of merfolk they'd want, though it'd take a toll on their magic if they do it too much. Which means that Sam would have a harder time shifting from one form to another.

Huxely and Damien-

Huxley is a whale shark merman because they can withstand high temperatures and those goofy ahh fish always remind me of gentle giants. Damien is some kind of magma merman just because. I love them both but there is not much to talk abt they're just gay/pos.

Lasko and Lasko's Listener-

Not sure what I have in mind for Lasko but he's tiny and his listener is Large. Thats all I have in mind for either of them, so far their story doesn't have much so i don't have much for them.

Shaw pack now. All shaw pack bois are Dogfish shark shifter merfolk 😌 (say that 10 times fast)

Ash and Baaabe-

This ones hard cause they met when the elevator in their apartment broke down with them in it. And Baabe is unempowered so for this one imma say that at the shaw pack bois live on land but for jobs they go into the ocean and do their thing. That makes the thought that Ash would shift to get out of going to the door for pizza 10 times funnier. Guy would just see him laying on the floor behind the couch and He'd just be used to it at that point. It also makes it way easier for Guy to find out abt magic which i think is funny.

David and Angel-

This one would also be really close to the og way they met. If it weren't for pack meetings and the security jobs David probably wouldn't even tell Angel. (Sorry this one was so dull-)

Milo and Sweetheart-

Sweetheart is a octopus shifter (octopus can camoflauge and squeeze through tiny spaces, closest i could get to a stealth). Their meeting a such would also be very similar to the og story. Though I personally think that when they move, they move into ocean city to be closer to work n stuff.

Last but not least, the vamp bois. All of the vampires are some kind of squid shifters. I'm not gonna say vampire squids specifically bc those thing are tiny and I can't think of Sam as a tiny mf next to large ass shark darlin'. Also its a little bit cliche. Maybe squid shifters are the only ones who can turn humans/ressurect (kinda) merfolk. I wouldn't think that turning a merfolk would change them from being a shark to a squid or something. But when a human is turned they can shift to a squid only.

Also the places where they all meet is no longer a carnival its apart of the beach thats cut off for safety reasons. (Like in steven universe)

Sam and Darlin'-

With the whole Quinn thing, I wouldn't want too change much. Darlin' used to live in the land city but sold it after the Quinn stuff happened. They did go back to washington ofc but when they came back, they bought an apartment in the ocean city and lived there for a while. Then they met Sam at the beach and things were pretty similar from there. When they moved in with Sam they moved to a house hidden and out of the city but still close. Im not gonna talk abt what type of fish quinn is bc he doesnt deserve it (neither does kody but i had to make the joke abt him being a predator since that is literally what he is).

Vincent and Lovely-

Similar story to how Gavin and FL's was except Kody is replaced by Adam, Hux in that situation is replaced by Vincent and Lovely is an Eel merfolk instead of Freelancer merfolk. Pretty self explanitory- Vincent is a squid guy bc he was a human before obv.

Bonus: Caelum is lil anglefish merfolk ♥️♥️♥️

And uh- yea not much to talk about other than that. Happy mermay!!!

MM Monster Romance: Human x Eldritch Horror Mermaid

Feels gratuitous writing such a post with my own characters but!! I’m just too huge of a Mermay fan to not do something this fun, so let’s go!

Hillsburg would go from the hinterlands of Massachusetts to the coast for magical Innsmouth vibes

the locals beware the sea and its legendary creatures

friendly neighborhood bear Christopher in particular is scared to death of what lurks beneath the waves

until one day

he frees what he thinks is a giant fish from a fishing net, stranded on Hillsburg's pale moonlight shore because what else would that thing be

the fish disappears in the depths of the sea and Christopher never sees it again...

though he is certain he does see giant fins and pink flashes above the lighthouse for the next few days and has a goddamn headache driving him insane 👀

...only to run into the most gorgeous, kindest, dreamiest guy he's ever met! 💜

amidst this chaos, Gyth is the absolutely sweetest and most comforting presence in Christopher's life

but he has a secret, of course... 🦑

Gyth and his body

I like to imagine Gyth still has his everchanging shapeshifter qualities as a mermaid, to the point where his full-on monster form looks the same, just underwater?

the tentacles, of course, fit here perfectly (and elsewhere, just ask Christopher)

he still adores sweets

his pink lights also stay, probably resembling deep sea luminescence

Come to think of it: Gyth is already pretty mermaid-y!

he keeps his whale song, trills, and click sounds, as well as his ocean-like pocket dimension

instead of a dragon tongue, he now sports a moray tongue ✨

he can summon sea storms and clean/poison bodies of water

his mermaid tail would change colors and end in thin and filamentous fins 💙

He would still love to sing, except now he has a siren song he can use as both a lover and a fighter. And for telepathic communication!

Vibes in general

Christopher being afraid of the ocean and Gyth taking him anyway

Gyth trying to teach Christopher to swim (which is understandably difficult for someone who only occasionally has human limbs)

cuddling while floating on the ocean waves beneath a starry sky

Gyth's absolutely fucked-up sea creature friends 👀

the scene where Gyth tries winking at Christopher during the big rescue but underwater

Christopher singing to the ocean 💗

growing fish eyes, gills, fins, webbing between fingers, and all that good stuff

Gyth scaring off bigots with his shark teeth grin

the two of them freeing some guy's aquarium fish lol

long! walks! on! the! beach!!!

.

This is so fun!! But now I have a thousand new ideas 😭❤️

Thank you for reading! Check out my novel "Far Beyond The Moon" if you want more of Christopher and Gyth!

25. A movie you think is underappreciated - I have already mentioned The Black Cauldron, but I want to go into a little more detail as to why. I love how ragtag our little band of heroes is. In the past, I've seen people complain how Taran (in the Disney film) doesn't do much of anything and the comic relief sidekick ends up being the real hero, but he's got a sincere earnest desire to do good and his arc is about learning hey, maybe you're not the big warrior in gleaming armor with a sword, maybe there are better things than being a sword-bearing warrior. I love that as a message. And I love the rest of the ensemble, ESPECIALLY Eilonwy. I love how darkly gorgeous the imagery is and, of course, John hurt as the Horned King is PERFECTION.

I also want to say that Make Mine Music is really underrated. All the segments are engaging. I think All the Cats Join In is my favorite. The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met is excellent too, as is Blue Bayou.
