H20 mermay redesign

So in honour of mermay, and my rewatching h20 a couple of months ago, I did a redraw of the characters from h20 with my own head cannons and some explaining of my redesigns of course (: I really think that an animated reboot (not the one Netflix did) would be perfect for this show, and I wanted to convey my ideas. I also did try the make the designs resemble the actors at least a little bit.

Ricky

I love Ricky with all my heart, she’s definitely in my top 3 characters from this show. I’m obsessed with her hair in season one, especially when she puts it into braids. I kept her red motif from the first season as well. I want her to wear very early 2000s-esque grunge clothing. In terms of her mermaid look, I changed her colour to this orange/red-ish colour, and added details to make it look like flames.

I know a lot of people like to headcannon her as a lesbian, but personally I don’t. I think that she’s definitely pansexual with zero preferences and would go by she/her pronouns but would be ok with they/them.

Cleo

I honestly had so much fun with Cleo’s design. She has a bit of a bohemian style in the first season, but I decided to trade for a little more preppy look that I think reflects her character more. She’s sweet, caring, a little naive, but good spirited. So I put her in a trendy outfit with some cute patches to keep that homemade look. For her mermaid look, I wanted it to look like lace to mirror the patches on her skirt, and of course, it had to be purple.

My asexual ass has to headcannon her as ace and heteromantic. She’s also got the purple motif so that just adds to the ace-ness. She/her pronouns.

Emma

Emma’s design came really easily to me. I wanted to give her a kind of periwinkle colour scheme to match her ice. Her human design is simple, but I really wanted to keep it modern and trendy. Athleisure with high socks and bicycle shorts (and of course a sparkly top). Her mermaid design also came really easily to me, as I gave her sharp sparkly edges to resemble ice. Is it difficult to make a blonde, ice-themed character not look like Elsa? Yes

If anyone in the main three is a lesbian in my eyes it’s her. She’s hella gay with she/they pronouns.

Charlotte

Lol I don’t think I have anything positive to say about charlotte but damn I had so much fun drawing her. I really wanted her to look soft and sweet but give her the nastiest attitude ever. I put her in a preppy school girl outfit with soft pastel pink to make her look unassuming (at least to Lewis) and of course the necklace that the other three girls have.

She/her, straight.

Will

Threw a curveball at you didn’t I? That’s right, this is where my head cannons start, along with my inability to draw abs. Rewatching season 3, it only made sense to make him a mermaid instead of Bella, and I honestly feel like it could’ve been more interesting. Imagine him as a diver who got just a little too curious around Mako, and accidentally turns into a mermaid. His dreams of become a diver are ruined, however he got to be happy doing what he loved (exploring the ocean). It just makes more sense in my opinion.

For his main colour, I changed his motif of blue to green. I wanted to keep the blue colour for Emma and Lewis, and I honestly just felt like it suits him better. In terms of his powers, maybe the ability to control plants? Idk

He’s probably straight, maybe bi-curious. Goes by he/they but wouldn’t object to any pronoun. The chillest dude.

Bella

Bella was probably the hardest to adapt just cause I don’t love her character in the show. I decided to make her not a mermaid, and instead a love interest. I felt like it suited her better. I wanted to keep her colour palette soft and muted, and put her in sweet, bohemian style clothing. I feel like she would become a good friend of the main trio after the betrayal by charlotte. She would be an excellent friend and totally keep their secret as well as fall in love with Will.

Definitely bisexual, not opposed to a flirtationship with Emma (I just want them to meet) She/they.

Lewis

Look at this disaster man. I put him in messy clothes cause he probably couldn’t give two shits about what he looks like. He really does just want to go fishing.

Biromantic asexual (yes I am in fact projecting onto these characters). He/him.

Zane

I personally love Zane. I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love characters who are shitty people and even when they’re on “the side of good”, they continue to be shitty people. Just more focused and positive. When I was a kid I was 100% on board with his relationship with rikki, and honestly a part of me still is. So for my headcannon, he doesn’t cheat on her, the cafe doesn’t get in the way of their relationship, and he treats Rikki so much better. Cause they had fantastic chemistry and I don’t want it to go to waste.

For his design I gave him two looks, a casual motorcycle riding outfit, and of course a business suit. I made his main colour black, but I had to give him dark red accents as a nod to Ricky.

Heterosexual, he/him.

Lastly

The love interests as mermaids. This is not a part of my headcannon (yet). In terms of powers I have a couple ideas that do, in fact, include Lewis being able to talk to marine life. Poor boy will never go fishing again. In terms of Bella’s powers i really hate what they gave her, so I was thinking wind or bubbles or something air-related. As for Zane? He’s definitely the hardest to pin down for powers but I’m thinking either shadow manipulation or storm related powers (like lightning). Maybe a combo of both.

Well I’m done writing this all out and mermay is over so fuck me I guess. That’s what I get for making this post with 20 minutes left of may. I hope you had fun reading my post and looking at my art. I probably won’t draw more of this headcannon but idk I do what I want

I’m not sure what ya’ll consider to be PEAK friendship but this is it, enough with Hollywood trying to show friends only hanging out in each others’ bedrooms and living rooms and crap, hanging out on each others’ stair landings was a sign of TRUE friendship, corporate fools

Even better about this whole scene, they are all so close to each other and there isn’t a hint of discomfort, Emma and Lewis’ legs are touching and they’re thinking nothing of it because they are just buddies and Cleo folding her legs so that there’s more space for Lewis’ and Emma’s legs and just Rikki propping her feet up on the stair in front of her is just so in character, and then just imagine Cleo’s parents trying to walk past them all and stepping over sprawled out limbs and them being so fine with it because, “hey, it’s just teenager things”, dude, I just love the humanity of it and how absolutely close the original cast actually was with each other to make such scenes seem natural

A conversation that should've happened when Zane found out the girls were mermaids:

Zane: So who saved my life? I know it was one of you.

Rikki: Which time?

Zane: W-what do you mean, 'which time '?

Rikki: I mean you've been reckless enough to put yourself in situations where you've almost died more than once, Zane. Today will be added to that list if you're not careful.

Zane: I'm talking about the Lorelei wreck, what other time could you be talking about?

Rikki: *glares* Oh, I don't know, does the word 'shark' ring a bell?

Zane: That was you?

Rikki: *nods slightly*

Zane: And the Lorelei wreck....?

Emma: That was me, though I think it was a lapse of judgement.

Cleo: What about that time on Mako?

Zane: What time?

Cleo: You were really dehydrated and unconscious. Lewis helped us that time.

Zane: ...... well, thank you.

Rikki: Yeah? You sure have a funny way of showing it *gestures to Dr. Denman and her team*

#h20 just add water #h2o just add water #zane bennett #rikki chadwick #emma gilbert #cleo sertori #i kinda wish they addressed this a bit #i mean Zane almost died three times in the first season #and the main characters saved him #so of course that realization would also fuel his desire to help them escape Dr. Denman #woke up thinking about this today

sometimes I just think about S2 Cleo. grappling with the trauma of her parents’ divorce and her mom leaving. in the first episode of the show she says she tells her mom everything, so the abandonment she’s feeling must be so intense. and then she pushed Lewis away, breaking his heart before he could break hers. because it was never about him being overbearing, it was about the fear of losing him, of being abandoned again. irrational, yes, but an obvious trauma response. and then he starts dating Charlotte, which obviously he’s allowed to do, but it must feel like all her worst fears are coming true. He is abandoning her. Or at least it feels that way. And Cleo knows she’s not being fair when she’s jealous, but she can’t help it. And it just gets worse and worse as Charlotte gets more and more controlling. And she can’t really talk to her dad because he’s trying his best to be a single parent and she doesn’t want to hurt him. And nobody seems to notice just how bad it’s getting for her, not even Emma and Rikki. It takes her literally running away from home for them to notice how much she’s struggling. I just feel so bad for her ya know?
