Ariel and Melody find the Locket and Music Box

I'm not a fan of Queen Athena's Original Design in the Prequel to Disney's The Little Mermaid. I love Triton's Younger version but I just don't get the design for Ariel's Mother of why she looked so much like a Boring Ariel clone when she could've had looked like either one of the Other Daughters (who, mind you, that Ariel's Sisters who have different sets of their own Colors of their Mertails and Hairs do exist besides the Main One). I mean, if the Sisters were to look a lot like both of their Parents, it would've resulted into Ariel Clones and not Original Designs.

Why is it that some of the Video-Direct Sequels always give New Characters (in case if they're relatives to the Main Character) some Bad Genetics? (*Ahem* Hunchback of Notre Dame 2...).

So I wanted to do my very own personal take on a Redesign on Ariel's Mother and even King Triton's Wife, Athena if she looked like either any one of the other Daughters instead of looking too much like the Main One. I also did want to change the Necklace just in case as well as giving her some extra jewelry. 

I know for a fact that most of the Disney Sequels to the Main Focus of the Animated Films didn't aged well like Milk but needless to say that they're still a Guilty Pleasure but also a bunch of Nostalgia Classic to my Childhood Memories. Ngl, I felt really bad for Poor King Triton for losing a Beloved Wife who he loved but you can at least tell why he's the Most Protective King towards both his Daughters and People of the Sea.

But it's also sad to say the least that Athena is the only Mother in out of Every Media Adaptation of The Little Mermaid out there who tragically dies in a Prequel story to a Single Adaptation.

My 287th edit and I realized I forgot to do a 3D animated character to 2D animated character reimagining was How to Train Your Dragon’s Astrid. O.o I am so sorry for this accidental oversight.

Dear Bob Iger, since you’re officially entered your sequel era, how about you give us the Melody-centered, Little Mermaid sequel we truly want? If Frozen 4 can exist, I don’t see why The Little Mermaid 4 couldn’t.

Feeling very normal about parental dynamics in the Little Mermaid movies

I have discovered yet another layer to the swimming ick that is King Triton.

You know how in the third movie he banishes music cause his wife died... because of pirates... that weren't playing music by the way so it makes no fucking sense, but I digress.

Yes, I know it's because he associates his wife with music, but it's still stupid.

I just read that apparently Ariel is 15 in the third movie, right. And in the first movie she's 16. So all that happens in TLM 3 happens just ONE YEAR before the events on the first movie.

That means that not only did Triton BANISH MUSIC and throw multiple of his people in jail, including Sebastian... but less than a year later, when he finally "un-banishes" music, he ACTUALLY starts making Sebastian create a concert to honor TRITON as if he wasn't the tyrant who banished music in the first place??? And threw Sebastian in jail for participating in music??? Excuse me???

The level of narcissism in this man shows no boundaries.
