Just remembered, Mer smp is coming to an end soon, and I'm not ready. I love mer smp dearly, I know I haven't posted about it much, but I do hold it dearly in my heart, it brought back my obsession with mermaids and sirens tenfold. So thanks for that.

I'm so anxious about the ending, I can't imagine the ending will be unhappy or sad because I refuse to believe that'll be the ending. I simply refuse. However, I think it'll either be bittersweet or happy. The build up makes me think bittersweet at the expense of Gyn or Elodie, maybe Theo since he plays a fairly big part in the rescue and like Gyn has a saviour complex and will gladly sacrifice himself or Bite. However, Gyn is the likeliest candidate, either they can't save him or he sacrifices himself in a definite way. But then again, Elodie maybe will pull a sacrifice play or try to fight against Zipher and Cella and ultimately fail to save herself but help the others get the upper hand.

Or they'll pull a 180, and it'll be a happy ending, everything goes to plan, and we get a happy epilogue with nothing bad happening.

I'm thinking of more possibilities of how this will end, so I'm gonna stew in that. I've also just remembered about Marius and Eventide, so I'm not sure how that's gonna go, if anything actually happens to it.

I'm doubting myself right now, has anything happened with Eventide and Marius beyond the pirates grabbing Theo that one times and attacking the party? Cause I don't think so, but I don't have the best memory and might have forgotten, someone please let me know about that

So I did a thing with Gyn and Cella and maybe like also superheroes (maybe???)

Heard on the grape vine there's a sea-bunny that's started hanging around 👀👀

@m0thm00n

[the-sunshine-dims]

Local seabunny sure has a taste in roommates (said roommate is fighting the attachment allegations with their teeth while wearing the sweater hand-knit for them)

[the-sunshine-dims]

Of the caves and the reefs..

Fate, and Choices.

[sparks-chaotic-cove]

The duality of Olive and Abraxas playing (literal) lovebirds on one server and then enemies on another is so funny to me

ararararara guys do you know how much I love Gyn (slight spoilers for the Gyn and Elodie (+a little cella bit) on 7/17)

Despite his age and the wisdom that comes from that- in fact, probably because of that- he has a special skill for meeting people where they're at. No matter whether that's Theo, Bite, Moki, Elodie, even Cella. He meets those people where they're at and tries to pull them higher. Challenging their thinking, their morals, their care, their beliefs about themselves or others.

In that cage, he laughed with Elodie. He joked, but he also challenged their thought process. Who they believed their friends were.

With Cella, he was more guarded, but still showed care for the mer who had stuck him in a tiny cage. Gyn is so understanding that it makes Cella angry. Gyn's grown that intuition over the years. He knows that Cella still cares, at least a tiny bit, even if it's brain is muddled by Zipher and whatever else is going on. Gyn stares one of the few people who knows how to kill him and wields a weapon that can and doesn't back down. Not in an angry or spiteful way, but in one of care. A powerful yet gentle demeanor, a mind and body tired from the end and all the time he's lived. But he hasn't become jaded.

Heck, even Cella says his heart is too big. And maybe it is. Or maybe, he's learned that it is better to be hopeful of others than to fall into pessimism and misery. The world is as bright as you can make yourself see it. And it can be far darker if that's the only thing you see.

Elodie has gotten herself to see the darkness, the danger, the horrors of living, but ignores the light. The laughs, the smiles, the true friendships and even the plants growing and livestock milling around. Elodie is scared. They might not know it themselves, but they're scared of Cella, of Zipher, of Theo, and their family, and the world. Sometimes if all a dog knows is being kicked and hurt, then it'll begin to bite back at everything, even if those things won't hurt it.

Gyn is behind bars. He is no threat, and he says that himself. Gyn won't hurt Elodie because Elodie doesn't deserve to be hurt. So those two talk, they laugh, Gyn shares secrets and Elodie does in turn. Even though Elodie isn't letting him out, Gyn understands. And he has faith that Elodie can recover. Because heck, if Bite can, so can Elodie, and he sees that potential. She isn't 'evil' because she wants power... she's here because she's scared, and truly thinks she's doing the correct thing.

And Gyn knows that sometimes what one believes to be correct must be challenged.

Yet he'll do it with kindness and patience everytime. The kindness that will truly wish a good night to a person who has locked him in a cage and threatened his life, who has mocked him. Because sometimes all someone needs to become better is someone willing to give them something to light the way.

How're we feeling about today's mer lore?

Sad? angry? hopeless? Splendid. Have a Cella and Valinda :]

I love Valida. The beloved-

[sparks-chaotic-cove]

Going to add onto this, as two bits from MerSMP appeared in my little lizard brain-

The great ol' Spiteduo divorce. That moment Bite, influenced by Zipher, basically spat in Gyn's face. Everything he had improved upon taken out of him as he fell back into old habits with Zipher being there. And those bad habits were so much easier than being good.

Elodie and Cella! The simple lines of

Elodie: "I'm sorry, Cella"

Cella: "No you're not."

just RAHHHH. I don't think this one is as strong of a point, but it's there alright-

Finally, Cella and Zipher-

Forgot the stream's name, but the one where Cella is helping Zipher build their bit of the group's base. They hit Cella multiple times- and were surprised when Cella hit them back. They lamented on how dumb romance was. Cella was there, with his hidden feelings, withering away. That shattering of that slight sliver of hope.

sure, those feelings could still be there. But there is no way Cella would tell them.

Ramble 2.0- I love the little mers tehe

One moment that breaks my heart is the moments when a relationship crumbles.

when two friends hit a point of no return. When a character is betrayed by their lover. A parent and their child having their relationship shattered.

it’s heartbreaking, but done correctly, is such a good watch/read/listen.

an example that comes to mind is Ulysses. Specifically, when he says that he’d do it again (tear apart Vorago) to Ocies face. Now Ocie and Ulysses aren’t really close.. but that moment scrapped everything that they did have. That vague friendship, shattered.

another one that isn’t really a point of no return- it is in brink, kinda, but not so much in Fable itself, is with Jamie and Momboo.

Jamie being locked in the basement.

the one who mothered you, who raised you, absolutely turning around and ignoring your pleas because she trusts someone over the child she had raised.

such a powerful concept, huh?

finally, Icarus and Rae. I think Icarus and Rae have had many “points of no return”, but the resets have sort of erased them.

one of these points, was the one where Icarus got pushed off the ledge on accident.

One that happened recently was Icarus going “you weren’t supposed to find out like this…” when Rae told him about Centross.

the horror and almost disgust between the two. The shock. The betrayal. All so powerful.

thanks for reading my ramble-
