Do you think that the little mermaid would be jealous of Gerard? She gave up her tail and her voice (we can assume) to live on land and it's likely she, because of the original myth, is in pain A Lot because of her transformation. And Gerard may hate being a frog (which like Yeah. It does suck and there a lot of trauma and powerlessness he associates with his current transformation I'd bet) but he gets to go on land and walk around while she can't go home and even if she can live on land it's Hard. Y'know?

#I think there's a lot of interesting potential bc she Chose to do this (which tbh I don't hold against her bc she's probably a kid and didn #Realize or didn't have the proper understanding of what she signed up for with the transformation) vs Gerard and Ylfa because like their #Transformations are horrible and out of their control but also seem to make them stronger and better at surviving and it's just so...#“Neverafter”#Which again this isn't ''which character has it worse'' just the idea of choosing to change in a way that hurts you so badly but you #Thought you wanted vs again something out of your control that makes you feel inhuman and worse and scared but that makes you stronger #Like I think shes like... On a scale Gerard and Ylfa are on one end Little Mermaid is on the other and Pinocchio is kinda in the middle #Like - okay order is Ylfa -> Gerard -> Pinnochio -> Little Mermaid #Ylfa: had no choice and transformation was a result of random chance but is VERY STRONG thanks to the change #Gerard: transformed as a result of his actions (unfairly) and his transformation at This Point gives him more abilities #Pinocchio: also transformed as a result of his actions (in this case transforming back to his original state (also unfair)) and it doesn't #Seems to really give him an edge (the magic powers are separate from the transformation) and likes the initial transformation (where he is #A ''real boy'' and not a puppet)#Little Mermaid: (presumably) chose to transform and didn't like her original form as much but the transformation likely Cost Her and she is #Now at a disadvantage in the Neverafter #In general it's not a hard and fast pattern but it seems transforming into a non human can be helpful for surviving in the neverafter #“Anyway I don't think this is spoilers bc this is a mostly stuff that was covered before or stuff from the original Little Mermaid”#Snow white pls pls ask our intrepid heros to go meet the little mermaid I want to see the her #Y'know what I'll add it. I was also thinking gender envy. Make of that what u will
