I love your shyarly art! Can you elaborate on Shyarly hating how humans and fishppl use her religion?
Thank you so much! Spent two trillion years on it to make the colors look right-
And to answer your question- the basics is that Shyarly’s religion is very very old. It was practiced by her ancestors for generations and generations. But the humans above viewed it as demonic- full on forbidding any practice of it anywhere expect underwater for a couple of decades. If anyone was found practicing they would either be thrown in jail or beaten to a bloody plump.
Then the rein of Otohime made it SO MUCH WORSE. The queen might have been well meaning but what she did just cause unnecessary divide. Her laws made the Fishmen and merfolk think that if they just left their old ways and culture it would be so much more better for them. Maybe even safer!
The practice ban was lifted once Tiger Fisher started to be a actual icon but like how the slave trade didn’t stop- either did the disgust of this old way. It’s still common for humans to make fun of the religion and even trash places of worship. Some Fishmen still think that Otohime was completely right.
So Shyraly’s spent her teenaged years to now dealing with both humans making fun and harassing her for her practices and Fishmen telling her she is being idiotic and old fashioned. Though, the former isn’t that common compared to the latter nowadays.
Anyway thank you coming for my autistic filled TedTalk on this
