Ponyo:

determined 5yo girls are more powerful than god

PONYO!!!!

As a child i did not even realize this was a little merm adaptation, but it really reads. She is sooo strange and other worldly and the movie absolutely captures that dreamlike fairy tale vibe

Ponyo a roughly five-year-old magical goldfish who can transform into a frog-type thing and a human girl. She's the eldest daughter of the literal goddess of the sea and a former human sailor given immortality. She falls in love with the five-year-old boy who cares for her and is thrilled to explore his ordinary yet magical world. She's bouncy, exuberant, and joyful. She loves ham. She doesn't have to give up her voice.

ponyo ponyo ponyo little fishie in the sea!

Little fishy

THEY LOVE HAM

Micro Story Prompt

Or should I say, ah... ‘micro’ story prompt? (729 words - pls I tried).

CW for language because Adiran.

          ------------------------------------------------------------

“You fucking liar.”

Lirea winced at the venom in Adiran’s voice. She wore her sadness well. She always did. He wondered if she knew how to feel anything anymore, or if it was all just a carefully crafted act. “I’m sorry.” Her voice echoed along the stone corridor, perfectly hollow. “I know you hate me right now. But I was just... father and mother said... I didn’t think...”

“How dare you.” In any other situation, Adiran would have laughed. He would have laughed until he pissed himself at the idea that Lirea, of all fucking people, didn’t think. “Cut the shit - you didn’t think? When do you ever stop? It’s all you ever do!”

Cringing, Lirea moved closer, pale eyes darting the length of the corridor. She almost reached out to grab Adiran’s arm, then clearly thought better of it. "Be quiet,” she hissed. The sound suited her perfectly, the fucking snake. “Adiran, I know you’re angry, but you need to keep your voice down.”

“I’m more than fucking angry.” He couldn’t stop shaking. His body was on fire, pulsing with panic and fury and something he couldn’t even begin to explain. But even so, he lowered his voice. He had to. No matter how desperate he was to tear the palace apart stone by stone, he needed to stay focused. A life depended on it. A life he was too much of an idiot to care about when he had the chance. “Damn it, I don’t have time for this. Take me to him. Now.”

“What?” Lirea’s eyes narrowed. “I can’t just---”

“Lirea.”

Something about his tone - something about the look in his eyes - stopped his older sister mid-sentence, her lips parted, face stunned. Maybe it was the way his breathing had suddenly calmed. Maybe it was the way his hand had moved, instinctively, to curl around the hilt of his blade. Her eyes, blue as The Pale, widened, and for the first time in his life, Adiran saw something very real flash across her carefully sculpted face.

Fear.

“Adiran.” Her tone was careful now. Wary. Good. It should be. “We can’t just walk in there.” Hurriedly, she raised her hands, stepping back as Adiran growled and advanced. “No - listen to me. I knew you would act like this, but I told you anyway. I want to help, or I wouldn’t be here right now. You have to believe that much.”

“I don’t have to believe a damn thing you say.” The sound of his own voice, cold and flat, was unfamiliar to his ears. The voice of a stranger - one capable of things he’d never even entertained before. It was like Riin had once said, smiling at the horizon, the sun a honey glow against his skin. Our lives are made of thousands of tiny moments. I know you feel lost right now, but some day, one of them will light a fire beneath you. 

Adiran’s hand clenched hard around the hilt of his blade, knuckles bleeding white as the leather dug ridges into his palm. He didn’t have to believe her... but he would. What choice did he have?

“Fine,” he said, releasing his his grip, his hand instead forming a fist at his side. “But whatever we do, it’s happening tonight.”

“Adiran, you can’t be---”

“Tonight, Lirea.” When it became clear to her that he was in no mood to argue, Adiran pressed on. “Meet me here at first bell. And think of a way to deal with the guards.” He met her gaze. Held it. “If I get caught, I’m taking you down with me. You have my word on that.”

To his surprise, his sister didn’t seem even slightly perturbed. Her brow was already furrowed, her arms folded, her finger tapping a steady rhythm against her elbow. She did, however, spare a final glance for him. The fear from before was gone, replaced with her usual detachment. “Fine,” she said in a voice as chilling as a winter’s night. “And what will you do until then?”

Adiran was already turning away, his mind marching ten steps ahead of his body, his heart lodged firmly at the base of his throat. The fire in the sconces shivered against the stone. The hallway seemed to stretch into eternity.

Panic, he thought, feeling sick.

“Prepare,” he replied. And then he left.

ROUND 1B, MATCH 5 OUT OF 8!

Who is the best Little Mermaid?

Shirahoshi (One Piece)

Lirea (The Mermaid's Madness)

Voting ended onMar 15, 2024

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Shirahoshi:

Why she's a Little Mermaid: She is a teenage mermaid princess who lives in an underwater city, was locked in a tower her whole life, and she wants to see the outside world and live on the surface. She also made a promise with the main character to one day see a forest on the surface with him. The subversion: She was locked in a tower because of a creepy stalker trying to kill her. She wants to live on the surface because her mom, who tirelessly campaigned for Mermaids/Fishmen to have equal rights and live on the surface, was politically assassinated and Shirahoshi has inherited her will. She's also not little, she's HUGE, almost 39 feet long.
