Mermaid!Gelphie
Does anyone feel like the story of the little mermaid could perfectly be made into a Gelphie story? Putting Elphaba in the position of Ursula might not be a popular choice, but there are some similarities, certainly if you consider that all the information we get about Ursula is told from the side of the 'good' guys:
Technically part of the ruling family (though kept quiet/ not known)
Uniquely magically gifted
Rejected by fellow mermaid-kin because of appearance (I don't think the green skin would be a problem here, but the tentacles would definitely be)
Tries to help the 'poor unfortunate souls'
Does magic that technically achieves the desired goal, but it does have a cost and unintended side effects. (though not on purpose in Elphaba's case)
Any thoughts anyone?
Mermaid!Glinda
Galinda unleashed with a polaroid camera would be an absolute menace.
Elphaba really, really doesn't like being in pictures.
Background:
The photographer used a green screen, which takes every green thing in the pic and replaces it with background, usually this results in pics like these if the kid's wearing a green shirt:
In the case of our favourite green bean however, you would end up with ... this:
Is this bad humour? Yes.
Do I still think it's funny? Also yes.
Sure, it would probably be more due to trauma that she would hate it, but Elphaba having beef with the photographer over a green screen is just a lot funnier.

Why Miss Elphaba ... look at you
"To suggest that a green lust-demon such as yourself could be any competition for a cupid, no less one from the esteemed Upper Uplands.... Tell me Miss Elphaba, how do you feel about a wager?"

... all blame on me for shipping them together.

With all the angst going on at AO3 ... Let them babies be happy for a change :)
(then the next round of angst will hit so much harder >:)
"Pink goes good with green"
"We fished too much, too greedy, too deep.
Until we woke the things that live in the abyss.
It is coming after us now.
Beware of the red eyes glowing in the deep..."
What if 'Despair' was the name of an ocean?
A new idea for an au, featuring despair mermaids Peko and Fuyuhiko, from the Danganronpa series. Au name 'Drowning in Despair'.
Also, a shout out to @vocalsinmyveins, who was kind enough to let me use her idea of Kuzupeko mermaids, and @thewildwilds, who requested more mermaid art for the ship (and we don't deny our awesome ship captain anything, not when she makes so much awesome art herself)
