Thought I'd have some fun during Mermay. Within this month, I'd like to turn some characters into mermaids. Characters that I haven't yet given a Merfolk form.
If anyone wants to request someone (either fanart, one of my originals, or an OC) leave it in the comments!

for the Character Asks, how about I give you your pick of any/all of our 3 established Gossip Girl Main Characters bc we're writing a whole show about these 3 rich dysfunctional gays lmao
hello YES! i enjoy our rich disaster gay trio sitcom (/dramedy) headcanon chats! work with for the other two so it would largely be headcanons anyway. i decided to go with jenny since the others don't have much canon to work with.
How I feel about this character: my beloved <3 more seriously, she's the character in gossip girl i find most interesting so this is going to be. long. anyway. she can be flawed and self-righteous and self-destructive and petty and she can be awfully, egregiously cruel, she knows how to take someone's insecurities or mistakes and hit them where it already hurts -- and despite all that, she's so sympathetic. because she's also ambitious and creative and starts off the show so optimistic and relatively happy-go-lucky, even with her parents' separation. she's cutthroat because she HAS to be, because she would never be able to hang in the upper east side if she wasn't, and that's the path she sees towards her dreams and doesn't she deserve her dreams? she knows she can hack it if she can just GET THROUGH THE DOOR. she's funny and charming and witty and SAD, sadder than i think anyone in the show realizes until she's imploded by the end of season three. she develops this armor of black clothes and sharp eyeliner and bitchy witticisms in season two and season three even moreso and so many people see this as character derailment or think it makes her awful or irredeemable somehow but i look at her and see a girl who's been tread on too many times, with chuck and with damien and with agnes and the guys in the club and what they almost did. with her father, even, and his lack of ability or willingness to understand where she's coming from, that she's not just sad or lonely at school, she's in DANGER. (evidence: the reference to the fact that apparently everyone except two girls in her chem class apparently tried to light her hair on fire?) so she builds up walls and she isolates and she makes decisions that maybe aren't great but she doesn't have the support she needs and all of this makes me feel so soft and sad for her and protective OF her and protective, even, of her right to be flawed, of her right to make mistakes. every other character in the show has equally (or even worse) egregious flaws that get excused or hand-waved by not only the fandom, by the narrative. jenny is held to a much different standard. the narrative screws her and casts her aside (and yes, i get that taylor momsen wanted to leave, i respect it, and i even respect that it's a teen drama and her exit was always going to be a little dramatic, but they did not have to do what they did) and if they didn't think all of this was the perfect storm for me to emotionally adopt her into the list of blorbos in constant rotation in my head-oven well. they've got another thing coming. tldr; jenny is the Born To Die trope except it's more like Metaphysical Innocence Born To Be "Corrupted". it's so clear what they're doing even in the pilot. i will go to my grave defending her.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: jenny x therapy LMAO. actually answer is uhhh idk. might be easier to give a list of my DEFINITE NOTPS (easily guessable, i'd assume.) i simultaneously DO headcanon jenny as having had a crush on blair and think they have interesting dynamic (and lots of angst and turmoil and admiration/jealousy psuedo-political warfare that makes me understand why people DO ship it) while also not really wanting it be like. A Thing. (i also think their relationship was too fraught and blair in particular was too awful to jenny for them to ever have a healthy romantic relationship, so.) i have... a soft spot for nate and jenny let's say? i don't think canon was the right time for them to be together, obviously, and i can easily see how some of her feelings could come across as comphet (especially with him being so constantly unavailable). at the same time, i think they have a lot of sweet moments that are rooted in like, affection and genuinely liking who the other person is. he's very gentle with her and i think jenny could have used a lot more gentle moments in the show. at the same time, i'm not sure they're ultimately the right fit for each other, and i don't really imagine that they're "end game", so to speak, but i do like reading the occasional post-canon fic about them. so that's where i land on them, i supposed. in actuality, i think jenny probably realizes she's queer in some capacity eventually, but that's a whole other question lmao.
My non-romantic OTP for this character: jenny and eric! but also jenny and dan! but also jenny and serena!! it's hard to pick lmao. i think the show does a pretty decent job showing the complexities of the friendship between jenny and eric given eric's limited screentime lmao. i think they hit something very grounded and real with eric and jenny's back and forth, which how much they love and need each other and also can't stand each other half the time, how their introduction was a really simple moment of jenny showing him compassion and him meeting her back with that effort full-force, with how they both value each other more than is common in heterosexual romance-based western cultures but also can't or won't or don't know that they need to or how to admit that to one another. it's a very honest depiction of a friendship at this age and of this kind, at least for me.
i was about to say that my feelings about dan and jenny are simpler, but i don't know if that's true? i might be repeating myself here, but if there's one thing gossip girl does well, it's grounded and realistic dynamics. they tease each other lightly and they tease each other too harshly sometimes, they fight, and they try to understand each other but often can't, they secret-keep for each other until that's no longer viable, and they do their best to protect one another and it's all just so balanced. one scene that stands out to me is when jenny steals the dress in season one and dan goes into talk to her and it's so clear he's had to take on somewhat of a parental role with her since their mom has been gone? and i'm sure that's frustrating for both jenny and for dan. but despite taking on this role of care, he doesn't treat her condescendingly or with any ire, he tries to be understanding and careful and thoughtful where rufus couldn't be. and while i'd say the show does a disservice to their relationship as time wears on, i think when dan gets the CHANCE to be a good big brother to her, he always always is. he tries to do right by her and even in her harsher, more isolating days, she still tries to trust him and lets herself be jenny around him moreso than she knows how to do with other people.
with jenny and serena -- i think i love what their dynamic could have been more than what it was? watching the pilot for the first time, i was sure there were going to be more big sisterly moments between them, but they end up going for conflict instead. which is understandable; like i said, it IS a drama. but serena tries so hard to be kind to jenny in the first season and while jenny wants to BE blair, i think serena's kindness lets her hold onto her dream a little longer, imagine that there's a world where she gets in with the in-crowd and someone like serena is there to back her up. i also think there's a really intriguing theme of jenny's arc paralleling what's serena's been through in terms of assault and sexual exploitation. the "the sixteen year old virgin" really exemplifies how serena WANTS to protect jenny from going down a path of self-destruction that could lead to her getting hurt even more. and just. that's an interesting but woefully underexplored dynamic. she also has the best approach (at first) in that episode which is to just like. talk to jenny like a peer. explain her worries over a shared pint of ice cream. it's only when she panics and starts Plotting that it becomes Too Much. anyway. there's a world in which their relationship was meatier and i want to live in it!
My unpopular opinion about this character: she deserved way better than the narrative throwing her under the bus to prioritize ch*ck.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i think i wish dan would have found out somehow about jenny getting drugged by agnes. on the one hand, nate telling him maybe would Kind of Not Be Cool, buuut it's tv the characters are allowed to be flawed and messy. plus! it makes the most sense. i feel genuinely feel that if dan found that out, she would be able to open up to him and they would figure out what was best for her (going to stay with their mom for senior year, lots and lots of therapy) sooner and without the ch*ck of it all.

Zuko for the character ask game?
How I feel about this character
He's great! One of the best-written antiheroes/villains-turned-heroes of all time. He's complicated, angry, petulant, and a joy to watch. I especially love how you can't really tell where he's going to swing on the first watch, especially during Book 2 where he's just surprising everybody.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
Mai. Just Mai. I feel meh about this ship though. (Maybe I'm on the edge of him and Aang though. I don't mind Zukaang and if written well like by @chocomd's Nebulous Roads then I tend to enjoy it)
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Aang. They are just...everything to me. The parallels between Aang and Kuzon, and Roku and Sozin are EVERYTHING.
My unpopular opinion about this character
He is overhyped. He is not the perfect, wise, father-figure character of the Gaang. Calm down fandom. This man has no control of his emotions until he's the adult we see him as in LOK. There is no dad of the group, only Sokka, Aang, and Zuko sharing 1 brain cell.
Zuko couldn't give good advice consistently. Maybe a handful of times. He has a lot of growing still to be had by the end of ATLA before he reaches his older, wiser self in LOK. He is not the character on the pedestal the fandom makes him out to be.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
That he found his mom in the show and not in the comics AND that he confronted what his nation did to the Air Nomads on screen and not off-screen.

thoughts on fatgum and taiju from tokyo revengers, please? 🎤
ohhh interesting! (why didn't tumblr notify me!! grrr..)
so, an unpopular opinion on fatgum, hmm.. i can't think of anything bad to say about him either! LOL.
he's a good mentor and teacher, and i especially like how he always encouraged tamaki to be more confident in his abilities without being too pushy or overstepping tamaki's boundaries and making him uncomfortable to the point where he'd withdraw into himself even more. same thing for kirishima, he had faith in him and tamaki both and let them do their things and gave them a chance to prove themselves.
looks: in his fat form he's fucking precious, 7/10. his slim form HOLY SHIT. 8/10
likability: 10/10
f, m, u: marry. he is precious.
taiju shiba:
unpopular opinion: really don't like how he treated his siblings, asshole honestly, ruthless bastard. he beat up mitsuya! i haven't finished the second season, but i did read the manga, don't remember much what happened with him after the Christmas fight but i don't really care for him.
looks: 6/10, he ain't ugly ig
likability: 3/10, he gets some points for being devout to his faith ig
f, m, u: unalive

Thinking again about how Suzanne esentially subverted the "beloved famous man that is actually a horrible person in real life" with Finnick, who is the complete opposite of that.
Finnick has this whole image costructed around him by the people that abused him for years: the Capitol's darling, their golden boy, the sex symbol of Panem, the man that has countless lovers but leaves them constantly and doesn't look back etc. And you would expect, initially, to meet a man that retains at least a part of that persona in his day to day life. But Finnick doesn't, not even one bit.
You see instead a man that is deeply in love and completely devoted to the one woman he quite literally adores, a man that protects Mags, his old mentor and his mother figure, as much as he can, a man that wouldn't leave Johanna behind, a man that gathers whatever strenght he has left to speak publicly about the abuse inflicted upon him at the government's hands; the opposite of what the Capitol's media and reputation made him out to be.

Happy Netflix ATLA live action day!!!! lol
Toph for the character ask game 🪨
How I feel about this character
I love her so much. She's one of my favorites in the series. Toph is the Strong Female Character trope actually done right. She has a complex family history and she (along with Mai) is the perfect, wonderfully written, surprisingly well done character who represents what I like to call "toxic filial piety". I say she's surprisingly well done because she's written by a Western team. So far she and Mai from the same show are the only accurate and fully fleshed characters written for a Western audience that I can think of that embody the complexities of filial piety, which is a concept that generally does not exist in the West. I could give honorable mentions to Azula and Zuko, but imo Toph and Mai...wow. Toph's problems with her family are particularly notable because they are all completely avoidable. They were done as a conscious choice.
All the people I ship romantically with this character
I don't particularly ship Toph with anyone. She's free to go where she goes. Although, I do have a fondness for her and Sokka.
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Tokka (Toph and Sokka)
My unpopular opinion about this character
I'm not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I think she was right for wanting to reconcile with her parents, and I also think she was right for distancing herself from them even after the fact.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
That she got her field trip with Zuko. Don't get me started. I felt so teased.

This probably isn't entirely in character but it's based on an exchange I had & I thought it would be silly with these two
