hi hello, i have finished my fic <3 inspired by this post by @opalsiren & absolutely totally 100% self indulgent to what i believe h2o lore to be (women kissing)
I think I am 🦌 anon…… I love h2O just add water SO much im sobbing I’ll love anything u write for it…. Also bc im such a gigantic Rikki/emma shipper its making me think about Jackie/Melissa and now I feel galaxy brain 🌌🌌 like Melissa would have way more fun giving Jackie shit occasionally and they could have fun banter… meanwhile Shauna is standing by quietly losing her mind diskjdkwjfjejeh anyways Melissa calling Jackie “princess” do you mind if I exit
— H2O JUST ADD WATER (yellowjackets au)
the three of them weren’t even supposed to end up on the island. they were meant to be out on lottie’s boat (well, mr. matthews’, technically) for an afternoon cruise, a little celebration after winning regionals & qualifying for nationals. a few jv girls had tagged along (hence, melissa) and the day itself couldn’t have been better. until the engine of mel’s boat stalled on the way back, leaving them stranded just off mako island. she pointed out they could dock and check the motor from shore. so they did and, while waiting, wandered off. that’s how jackie found the moon pool…
or: healing my inner child…let me have my mermaid moment with this guys!!
SHAUNA SHIPMAN ⋆˙⟡ cleo
shauna keeps it to herself the longest. it’s not that she’s any better at hiding it, if anything, she’s the worst liar…(definitely writes about it in her journal, too!!) but the rational part of her just refuses to believe it’s real.
her first signs aren’t as dramatic (meaning no tail incident), it’s mostly water, acting strange: the morning after, at the sink, shauna reaches for the faucet, and the stream bends, curving away from her hand. she flinches, and it snaps back.
it takes three full tail incidents (one in her bathtub, one at the harbor, and one in the locker room where jackie has to block the door) for shauna to finally admit: “okay. yeah. so i think i’m a mermaid too.”
hydrokinesis — the ability to control the shape & volume of water. shauna is secretly practicing her powers in the tub and the pond in the park, to avoid incidents like the one time she accidentally made the water in her mom’s flower vase swirl into a spiral when she got distracted watching jackie eat a popsicle…
JACKIE TAYLOR ⋆˙⟡ emma
jackie is, for once, the unlucky one. her first transformation happens right before jeff is supposed to come over. she’s in her bathrobe, mid-prep for one of her ‘everything-showers’ she’s decided make her irresistible (comphet jackie taylor, you are real to me in every universe…) when she dips a toe into the water to test the temperature.
the contact is all it takes. water hits her skin & she changes. jackie’s legs fuse together, and her body slumps into the tub. she screams once, then slaps a hand over her mouth in shock. gripping the tub’s edge, she’s sobbing, terrified, and somehow furious that it had to happen today of all days (omg jackie who transforms the day she was planning to “finally” lose her virginity…?? fate stepped in!!)
when jeff calls to say he’s out front, jackie, still stunned, chokes out: “uhm- i can’t hang out! i’m...sick. like…puking sick! go home.” then she hangs up and stares down at her new tail.
cryokinesis — the ability to freeze water & create ice (the concept of this being jackie’s power….). in the beginning, jackie can’t stop accidentally freezing things. she ruins several sinks and refuses to drink anything cold, afraid it might freeze in her throat. she’s definitely the most frustrated with her lack of control.
MELISSA HAT ⋆˙⟡ rikki
melissa is the first to admit it not only to herself (which, frankly, is hard to deny when her legs turn into a full-blown tail the second she touches water), but out loud: “okay, don’t freak, but i think i’m a goddamn mermaid.”
she says this to gen, obviously. gen: her best friend, and more importantly, the only person she trusts enough to show what happens when she pours water down her arm. to be fair, gen does freak out a little. “oh my god, do it again!” she shrieks “can you, like, breathe underwater now?!”
melissa tries to play it cool, as if she hasn’t been spiraling for 48 hours straight & didn’t scream the first time it happened, slipping into her pool and nearly passing out from shock. as if she’s not lowkey in love with both shauna & jackie, losing her mind about it more and more every time they mention weird water stuff…
hydro thermokinesis — the ability to heat & boil water. it starts with bathwater, then escalates to a full bottle she forgets she’s holding during an argument with shauna, which explodes in her grip. melissa is surprisingly cautious, though, taking time to practice and gain control.
I just listened to this song and i had to make ASH AND EMMA ON THE "I TREAT HIM LIKE HE DISGUSTING" bc fr. So yeah whatever this is imma post it bc i literally dont have anything else to do.. And yes this shit dont make any sense!!!!! But i was bored and shii
Whenever I hear snow on the beach by Taylor Swift I picture Emma after her first solo moon spell while travelling with her family. She wakes up lying on some beach completely alone and it’s barely light out. She doesn’t really know where she is or what she did, and she sits up and wraps her arms around her knees. Her loneliness is so strong that snow starts to fall gently all around her and she wonders how her friends are back home.
hi friends it's user opalsiren here!!! my account randomly got terminated so if you could follow me here until i get my old account back that'd be groovy 💕
I’m so glad I can finally post something LMAOOO this was a lot of fun to make ! I saw something on pinterest using this color scheme and I couldn’t just NOT DO IT… and it’s rikma so everyone wins. it was so fun to be able to fully render something for once
The person who originally made this au is tzushi on ao3 (their fic is so good) and @tsuyuzakimahirus on here !! Consider this more fanart idk , i just love their spiderman rikma fic sm
anyway as a proud citizen of hater nation i am how you say. apprehensive at best about possible new h2o content in the year of our lord 2024. season 3 was a dumpster fire and i really could have done without mako mermaids' implication of h2o lore, not to mention rikki's character assassination. like for me personally i don't consider anything post-h2o season 2 canon. i have little faith that any continuation of the og series will be even close to the same standard as the first two seasons, especially given how reboots and continuations of beloved media in recent years have panned out. would love to be wrong but alas i have never been wrong about anything ever in my life 😔
im so worried about it but im also like. clawing at the door of the writer's room and asking them to make rikma at least semi-canon in the "reboot" or whatever it is if it's anything. like LET ME IN. it's ok if the show sucks just give me my closure..... my Validation....... j shiff........
it will probably 100% be bad/cringe but im clinging. im praying. etc. i am asking soooo politely
this account looks so fake but it was liked by THEE jonathan m shiff !! and not only liked but COMMENTED ON confirming that it’s a teaser for something- dare i say- obviously h2o related?!?
i watched a couple of episodes of h2o: just add water again as background noise on vacation and was reinvigorated with purpose (fic ideas). life is a circle etc
was it casual when i touched your face and called you baby in front of everyone at my dad’s birthday party even when none of the canon couples in the show ever called each other baby? was it casual when i pulled you out of a trance like state when you ran off to an island in the middle of the night because you accidentally hurt me and were terrified you might do it again? was it???
