#the little mermaid
I hope im not just a blog you follow but also the only person with 100% correct opinions about the little mermaid
Dish those opinions, let’s hear it
My biggest issue is the absolute ice cold take of “Ariel gave up her life/voice for a boy” when the film repeatedly shows Ariel was preyed upon by Ursula. She was exploited and stalked by the literal antagonist of the film into making a really bad decision, especially when Ursula knew Ariel was at her most emotional and the least unable to reach out to her support network.
And the deal Ariel made was meant to be an impossible task that she was tricked into taking AND STILL Ariel was smart enough to almost achieve it if Ursula wasn’t playing dirty and directly interfering in with it all.
Ariel was absolutely a victim of manipulation and circumstance, and people who use this as an irredeemable flaw in her character act like they got big brain energy when their brains are smooth as fuck.
(not to mention she was 16)
Also?
URSULA is the one who says Ariel’s doing it all for the guy.
According to Ariel herself, what she wants is:
—to be where the people are
—to see dancing and walking
—to ask her questions about the human world and get answers
—to not live in the ocean
—to be part of the human world
—to explore the human world
WHERE DOES ERIC COME INTO ANY OF THIS?!
She wants to see a world she isn’t able to see! She wants to have adventures, not a boyfriend! What the hell!
I would argue that she was totally fine with the boyfriend, but Ursula was the one who forced it to be a priority.
AND ANOTHER THING
Her first impression of him is a dude who is both attractive, capable, and willing to jump back on to a burning ship to save his dog.
Later, dude climbs aboard a SHIPWRECK that’s caught in a WHIRLPOOL so that he can RAM IT into a 150-foot-tall MAGIC SEA MONSTER in order to save her.
It’s not like girl was settling.
Ariel is a field anthropologist. That she happened to fall in love with a member of the culture she was studying isn’t exactly a problem.
#Do people give Milo Thatch a hard time for giving up everything for a girl?#no because not enough people have watched Disney’s Atlantis#but that’s a secondary problem via @thebestworstidea
Leaving gold in the tags agin, I see.
People act also like she “gave it all up” for some deadbeat when she wound up like, a literal queen.
Heya Folks! I’ve written a new fanfic about The Warners expect it’s an Au about The Little Mermaid and is about family instead of romance. Hope you enjoy!
Halloween Series: Witches in Fiction ✨
Ursula is the main antagonist of Disney’s The Little Mermaid and belongs to a race of creatures known as Cecaelia (half-woman, half-octopus). She states that she once lived in the royal palace of King Triton, the king of the underwater city of Atlantica. Ursula boasts that her previous life was lavish and included such spoils as ‘fantastical feasts.’ Power-hungry and devilish, even in the past, Ursula garnered a disreputable reputation amongst underwater dwellers. She was widely known as the ‘Sea Witch,’ an alias she accepted in stride. Ursula’s greed and use of dark magic led to her banishment. By orders of the King, she was exiled from Atlantica and made her home in the remains of a leviathan lined with a garden of writhing polyps. These polyps were merfolk who had previously gone to Ursula for help but found themselves unable to fulfill their side of the bargain, leading Ursula to claim them as her own and adding them to her collection. From her secluded lair, she awaits the chance to get her revenge on Triton and become ‘Queen of Atlantica’ by stealing the king’s trident, an extremely powerful weapon that grants its user control over the seas and its foils.

Originally the scene was suppose to end with the Fas but I found this funnier:DHera is Zues second wife. He and Alcmene are Herc’s real parents.
Hera is jealous of her husbands ex, but I promise she is kind towards Hercules.

If anyone would write the lyrics to that song, not using her name except as title, I’ll put it in the comic.

I made the girls give themselves names based on the latin numbers.
I ordered them not as in the original song but as the Disney wiki and prequel movie numbered the sisters.
This is what I did…The song Sebastian wrote might have just ordered them by what sounded good?
