I think the idea of chubby! or plus sized!Yuu x Azul is so cute because it definitely starts with Azul projecting a lot of old insecurities onto them initially but I honestly think he'd have that tsundere sort of progression of him thinking he could never love them to eventually feeling like he can't imagine life without them. I think it would do a lot of healing for his inner child to realize that someone can be adored despite their size. I also, coincidentally think he'd be protective, like "I will commit homicide if I need to" protective.

I'm curious, if you had to guess what other Fandoms I'm in, what would you guess?

What if I make the fish pine, though.

I don't often reblog political or activism related things, but if you are of legal voting age in the United States I wanted to share this one. Historically, issues like these disproportionately impact both sex workers who are trying to make a living and LGBTQ+ individuals. That's not to mention this impacts everyone else's ability to just enjoy erotica and pornography without the government mettling, and largely in Fandom spaces.

Please do what you can - the best thing is calling your representatives because that forces them to tally that information, but anything will help.

If you consume fanfic on ao3 and are 18+ and American I need you to lock in and call your senators saying you oppose a federal porn ban. This would effectively ban ao3 and being queer in public, among many other things, due to the intentionally vague language of the bill. I’m counting on queer tumblr and fandom tumblr to help me get the word out that you have to call your senators

Some additional observations

Jade picked multiple people to arrive in place of Azul because, in his word "it takes multiple mermaids to overturn the gondola". With that in mind, knowing he was so gung ho for Azul to join him, we can probably safely assume that (at least in Jade's opinion), Azul in his merfolk form has the physical strength of three other people. It would make sense, considering Floyd and Jade also confirmed that Azul is larger than them in his merfolk form, too.

Jade is a momma's boy, lol! I forgot to mention this, but both Floyd and Jade have picked up some of Georgina's mannerisms, but I have noticed more similarities between Jade and his mother. In addition, Jade seems to speak quite politely and deferently to his mother. Given what Floyd said about them growing up in book 7, that seems to track. Jade typically plays innocent around authority figures like his mom.

The Leech family are not beating the mafia allegations. They have connections to at least two businesses in the first part of the event and both times it's through Jade's father. They also give a handwavey answer when asked what Jade's dad does for work that amounts to "all kinds". It's likely that they're referring to criminal activity though it's never said outright. (Personally I think it would be hilarious if he turned out to just be a super well connected person in an innocuous line of work... personal injury lawyer or accountant or an engineer with a super strict NDA, but I don't know that we will ever get a 100% answer.)

Eternity Float Event

CW: Spoilers below the cut but I thought I'd share some of my favorite details about the Eternity Float Event and mini character analysis because it's exceedingly cute? 😭

First, it's so sweet to me that the first person Jade picks to come with him is Azul? Azul refuses because if he does go Mrs. Leech will spoil him with food so he refuses (my boy still definitely struggles with food policing himself) but that's actually very sweet. Georgina herself is, notably sad about Azul not being there (even more so than being sad that Floyd didn't show up? Which is hilarious because it means she probably expected Floyd might lose interest but she's actually sad Azul didn't come to see her. She definitely adores Azul and sees him as part of her family too.) Plus Azul being flustered that Mrs.Leech gets along so well with his mom and grandmother is very funny.

Jade guilt trips no less than five people into going with him by manipulating the hell out of them. It's extremely funny because being in the Fandom when it was first released in the U.S., most people at the time assumed the most dangerous twin was Floyd because of his mood-swings. Your honor, I would like to petition the court to consider that Floyd is, in fact, just a morally grey little guy. Or like, very big guy, but you get the point. He seems to be the least likely of the three to actively do something sadistic or swindle you.

Azul pawning Jade off onto Yuu and being relieved that he successfully distracted Jade from harassing him into going. As it turns out, even he sometimes needs someone to come collect that freak of a man.

Jade has dreamed of being in a wedding, not as the groom but as a part of a tradition to try and tip over the newly weds gondola and admits he's been dreaming about it since he was young. The way he phrases the statement tells us a lot about Jade's motivation for wanting to do this because he notes something to the effect of "people cheer loudly when the Moray manages to tip the boat over fully". Jade is, once again, being kind of a brat and despite his claims that he doesn't like to be the center of attention, he really wants to be the center of attention actually.

Less about Jade specifically, but it is worth noting that this ceremony is specifically for when a human marries a merfolk and the couple remains on land (if I am translating correctly), meaning that it seems to indicate that there really aren't weddings in this form in the Coral Sea.

Of course, we get to see Jade's mother, Georgina, and the first impression of everyone in the group is how tall she is. She is noted to be a) taller than Jade, b) twice as tall as Riddle, and c) her sprite is taller than Malleus with his horns. I don't personally take the comment about being twice as tall as Riddle as 100% fact, but that would mean she could be as tall as 320 cm (around 10 feet). If I go based on sprite measurements, however, I would guess she's a few inches taller than the highest measurement of Malleus' horns. Considering Malleus with his horns clocks in at around 202 cm or 6'6", and measuring their sprite heights, I would guess she's close to 213 cm or 7' tall.

Just want to add, while that might mean Jade and Floyd are still likely to get taller, it could also mean that her husband is simply *much shorter* than her and the twins take after his height. Either of these are possible, considering we don't know exactly how Merfolk biology compares to human biology and how far into life they keep growing.

Speaking of fish and growing, one set of lines that stood out to me is when Jade mentions that he gave his mother Floyd's nicknames for inspiration for their outfits. Riddle is visibly a bit upset by this, and admits he doesn't like the comparison to goldfish because they are "small and red". Georgina apologizes for Floyd being rude (though she laughs as well) and tells Riddle "when released from captivity, goldfish can grow very large". Riddle seems to be excited by this, however Jade laughs. I believe Jade assumes Riddle is excited by the prospect of getting taller. Given Riddle's backstory however... and this is complete conjecture, it seems like Riddle may be correlating it to being under his mother's control and is excited that he may "grow" when he's free.

Out if curiosity, does anyone have recommendations for other places you'd like to see my writings? Given the whole thing with the Tumblr layoffs I'd like to set up a backup space for hosting this blog elsewhere even in the event that things are totally 100% fine.

Sometimes wild attraction shit happens when you learn to separate masc/fem from man/woman. I’ve known queer women find the femininity in a man attractive. I’ve known gay men get so hot and bothered by the masculinity of a woman.

There was once a guy who was not really my type but then he did drag and was suddenly wildly attractive to me. And since I’m bisexual it doesn’t give me a crisis when someone is suddenly hot to me in an unconventional way. I used to think this was particularly a bi experience.

Then I’ve met plenty of gay men and lesbians who are also chill about that sort of thing. Sometimes life is like that “oops made out with a twink in Brighton who turned out to be a lesbian who thought I was a lesbian” and sometimes it’s like “hey, I’m not normally into men but this guy has got something hot going on.”

[twistmusings]

That's my boy, Riddle.
