I don't care how you guys feel about Charlotte, if there's one thing I'm glad S2 (in it's prime) explored - it was generational merfolk magic.

(Admitting Charlotte truther here) I find it fascinating exploring Mako Island and the generations of mermaids over the years for many reasons. Let's be honest, there's plenty of H2O fanfiction on Fanfiction.Net that tried exploring the H2O gang growing up and having powers to various degrees. Some focus on adulthood and drag it out while others get to the marriage and children phase a bit too quickly, but a few stand out just right (and by right, I mean "I could read this as if I'm watching it on TV"). But what I gather trying to read is Next Generation fics. Some writers opt to say the girls had normal children and don't tell them the Secret - which leads to history repeating and the daughters and/or sons finding their way onto Mako and going through the Metamorphosis. Others say the children are born with their powers, therefore automatically in on the Secret. And I think I recall a fic that ventured into the girls (or maybe just Cleo) becoming grandmothers themselves.

(FYI: It's a lot more telling how long ago a fanfic was written if the mermen in them have orangey-gold tails or any other colors pre-Mako Mermaids.)

Overall, I do appreciate those stories, but that doesn't diminish my preference for the past mermaids or what they could've/would've done if taking the present canon into account. I wanna explore how being mermaids in the 50s had worked out, if Gracie's choice was what split the group up, or if it was the tip of the iceberg. But mostly, I wanna know why Gracie was the only one to have a family and the implications of her ties to Mako after no longer being a mermaid. Did Gracie leave and never look back? Could Annette have been an 80s mermaid if she had returned? And regardless of how she came in, was Charlotte being drawn to Mako and becoming a mermaid really shocking?

Or what about Julia? The only reason we found out she died was because her locket sold at an estate sale and ended up at a jewelry shop. But did that have to necessarily mean she was alone or could it be implied she did have family and they sold her stuff without realizing the significance of the locket? What if someone did try to look for it and couldn't track it down? Maybe, if not directly a grandchild, but a grand-niece or nephew?

So in that hypothesis, out of the 4 known members of the 50s group, Gracie and Julia had more reasons to have had families in their lives while Louise (an elderly widow) and Max (a recluse hermit) didn't.

I understand we got used to the iconic OG girls, but there are too many holes and plots to be left unexplored.

((Before I end on this note, let me send this off that next-generation tropes don't necessarily have to apply to children and grandchildren. I'll fan the flame that Kim Sertori could have received the torch and become a mermaid. Cleo and co. were off the college and with the moon pool supposedly damaged, it wouldn't be like more mermaid hijinx could occur...that they'd be aware of. And what if Taryn Marler (Julia in S2 and Sophie in S3) had been brought on as a twenty-something woman who endured Metamorphosis, unlike the teenagers before her? Her character - Rachel Samuels from Blue Water High S2, free to watch on YouTube - had a much more preferable persona for H2O, so why not combine them into someone fleshed out? Instead of the main characters having children or having them help out the next random group of teenaged Merfolk - why not focus on a narrative of a mermaid's siblings finally stepping into her shoes and a woman entering her adult years as a mermaid?))

was it ever actually explained how the '50s generation found out about the fifty years moon? 'cause it doesn't really sound like the kind of thing you can guess based off of planetary alignments

gracie could've turned into a goldfish for all she knew

season 1 AU where Zane’s interest in local ocean mythology leads him to Max Hamilton—maybe Max is mentioned in an old article or something. Max, is at first justifiably wary of Zane. But Zane is nothing if not persistent, and desperate for the truth about what happened to him, and eventually, after weeks of needling, Max caves. He tells Zane about the 50s mermaids, and Mako, and the Moon Pool. But he also says that as far as he knows, there haven’t been mermaids on the Gold Coast in years. So, the next full moon, Zane finds the Moon Pool. To his disappointment there are no mermaids in the pool. But it does bubble with magic, and he is so intrigued that he reaches out to touch it—and falls in.

And suddenly the guy who kept insisting mermaids were real does a hard 180 and begins insisting the opposite. In secret he still works on his research, because he’s sure there must be others like him. But somehow he and the girls always just miss each other at Mako. Emma and Rikki have caught a couple glimpses of his tail, but it’s blue, so they’re not sure what to make of it. (Emma probably refuses to admit it’s anything more than a really big fish).

Cue the return of Dr. Denman, but this time Zane is caught in the Moon Pool (she doesn’t tell Harrison the truth about the merman she caught) and the others have to help him escape. When he asks why they helped, they reveal their shared secret, and tell him the eclipse thing. Rikki and Zane don’t have to break up. Lewis is extremely salty that Zane gets to be a mermaid and he doesn’t.

max keeping a bunch of old photos of him, gracie, julia, and louise along with the mako research he gave to lewis... lewis holding onto heaps of photos of him, cleo, rikki, and emma to project onto the moon pool wall during the mermaidversary episode... explodes violently

Fifty years after a broken Gracie left the Gold Coast as a completely ordinary girl, she returns with her granddaughter. Haunted by her memories, she's terrified of what she will find waiting for her. But maybe it's not just the past she'll find there- maybe her future is waiting, too.

something about george russell being hyperaware and vocal about track safety for himself and other drivers even if it slows him down, something about fernando giving franco colapinto advice his first week in, the mclaren boys continuing to be happy with each other even when the team screws them over, hamilton reminding motorsports spectators and competitors alike that kimi antonelli is still just a kid after all and has a long way to go, max and charles congratulating each other after almost every race even when one of them gets a win and the other gets something like their worst drive of the season, alex and oscar defending logan sargeant as having so much untapped potential even if hes no longer racing, pierre and seb going out of their way every year to honor drivers who have passed, esteban ocon going out of his way to welcome new drivers to the grid, kmag fighting tooth and nail to get nico hulkenberg one point, nico rosberg shredding team principals with poor team treatment on live television

f1 is gonna be okay

How does drivers call each other based on Grill the Grid

Drivers calling each other GTG

So, I did a little analysis on how the drivers are referring to each other in the last Grill the Grid video!!

You need to read the line to see how that driver is calling the ones in the columns.

Some conclusions :

Lando and Lewis are mostly referenced by their names as his Zhou but that's a specific case.

Checo and Danny have nicknames

Charles went all out on the name/surname combo

Max, Logan, Alex and Estie loves calling the others by their names only

Lando uses surnames unless your his friend, (ex)teammate or Lewis

Oscar uses surnames unless your Max, Lando, Logan or Zhou

George says Lance but Lance says Russell

Nico called George "Georgie" (while saying he has feminine lips...so what you want with that!)

There are many more things to read into this... In a more serious way or with shipping glasses.

You can see the table better with the link, if you want!
