I think we’re all on the same page about the full moon not just making mermaids act differently, but making them act on some kind of “true” or subconscious desire. but I wanted to look more closely at the full moon effect on all our girlies and what it means.

cleo’s larger journey is to self-assurance from where she starts as mostly an ingenue. under the full moon she is confident and has a clear ability that makes her stand out. cleo has spent most of her life as best friends of an absolute beast star athlete, and of a science whiz. in 1x20 she speaks about helping lewis like it’s the first favor she’s ever been able to offer him. her siren power is a special talent unique to her which sets her apart from her friends. she finally commands and basks in all this positive attention, instead of being embarrassed in the limelight like she was at the start of the ep.

moonstruck emma most obviously abandons all responsibility, unburdening herself for maybe the first time in her life. she is flirtatious with byron and with rikki (even drunk I’ve never called a platonic friend baby I’m just saying). she also has a big appetite, which I only recently was thinking about. emma is a lifelong athlete with an extremely strict diet. even at a slumber party she has prepared “sensible” snacks. under the moon’s influence she gives herself freedom to literally eat whatever she wants. and of course she very adamantly wants to stay a mermaid, flying in the face of her usual cautiousness, and is just enjoying that sweet mermaid life.

and rikki has much more awareness during the full moon, not just because she is controlling the effects better but because she is not usually suppressing her impulses. she generally speaks her mind and acts on what she wants anyway, so there isn’t as much for the moon to “reveal.” instead it prompts her to self-isolate, succumbing to her existing fear of not belonging or of being some kind of liability. she acts on her attraction to zane after admitting in 1x6 that she’s insecure about being liked. and she verbalizes her fears and insecurities to somebody besides her friend’s kid brother for the first time.

the full moon eps are such a fun silly way to be like, “let’s make everyone do something crazy and then immediately retcon it” but idk, even though none of these are hot takes I just like how it reveals a lot about our besties

Notes: Set in the same universe as Just add water

“Hammer.” 

“Hammer,” Eddie repeats dutifully. Dustin spends two or three seconds trying to drive the nail in with the object he's been handed, until he realizes it's a screwdriver. 

“Very funny. I said hammer.” 

“Apologies,” Eddie mutters, chucking the screwdriver back into the mess that is their toolbox with one hand and wiping his sunburnt forehead with the other. “I think we've been out here longer than is strictly healthy. How ‘bout we call it a day and head back to camp? It's almost dinner time.” 

Dustin scowls. The hair under his Thinking Cap is matted with sweat and he is red-faced and splotchy. An unavoidable side effect of working out on the secluded pier all afternoon. 

“We can't just stop now, it's almost done,” Dustin claims, gesturing at their rickety construction of wood and mesh - it’s supposed to be an oversized fish trap, even though Eddie thinks it’s turning out to be more of a funky modern art installation. “This'll work, I know it. This time, I'll prove that Lovie is real. All those past times, it got away too quickly, but if I could just-” 

“Jesus, kid,” Eddie groans. “You and your lake monster. You don't know when to give up, do you?” 

“Give up?” Dustin scoffs. “If Thomas Edison had given up, we'd still be lighting candles. If Homer Ahr had given up, we would've never walked on the moon. I sure as hell won't-?” 

“The fuck is Homer Ahr?” 

Dustin heaves a long-suffering sigh. 

“Only mission control's chief engineer, Eddie? Honestly, that's the kinda question I'd expect from Steve, not you. Where is he, by the way? I thought he wanted to help us.”

“No idea,” Eddie admits. “Lucky bastard.” 

Dustin draws a breath, probably to ask what he means, but Eddie is saved by the sound of the dinner bell floating over from the camp grounds. 

“Okay, you gremlin, off you go,” he says, pushing the kid towards the sound before another argument can break loose. “We can finish this tomorrow when we aren't dehydrated and grouchy.” 

Dustin grumbles. “What about you?”

Eddie waves him off. “Be there in a sec, lemme put away your shit first.” 

He starts picking up their scattered tools, throwing them back into the box. Only when he's sure that Dustin is well out of earshot does he collapse at the edge of the pier, naked feet dangling over the water's surface. 

“Man,” he says. “That kid, right?” 

There's a soft growl from behind him, and the barest of sloshing sounds, and a shadow falls over him. He only just manages to suck in a breath - knowing he'll need it - before a massive snout pushes between his shoulder blades and he goes plummeting into the lake. He’s dimly aware of the toolbox going down with him, and then the world vanishes in a whirl of bubbles.

He resurfaces to the feeling of arms wrapping around his waist and massive fins brushing his legs, and the sound of laughing voices - one human, one very much not so. He tries to glower at their owners, but actually needs a second to part the sopping curtain of his hair.  

“So fucking hilarious, you aquatic asshats. I thought I told you to quit doing that.” 

Lovie the lake creature just chirps merrily and dives back under again, splashing him with her fins as she goes. 

Steve shrugs. The motion makes tiny droplets of water run down his bare shoulders and collarbones, bringing out his freckles and moles and tiny, glittering scales. Eddie wants to lick them. He has long stopped worrying about what that says about him.

“Sorry. She just wants you in the water with us. She likes it when the flock is together.”

His smile is apologetic, but his tail curls around Eddie’s legs in the water, fins wrapping around the two of them possessively.

Because, see, here's the thing. Over the past year, Eddie has not only discovered that his infuriatingly pretty fellow camp counselor is a mermaid and the guardian of an ancient lake creature. He has also somehow managed to score said mer-dude as a boyfriend and been adopted into the lake creature's flock.  

“She never does that shit with Buckley,” he grouses, even though Steve’s words make something flutter in his chest. Steve's touch, also - hands on his hips, fins on his ankles. “She's part of the flock, too, isn't she?” 

“Yeah…” Steve blushes, a delicious pink hue on wet, sun-tanned skin. Eddie wants to lick that, too. “But Robin isn't my…” 

He trails off into an unintelligible mumble after that. Eddie wrinkles his brow. 

“Your what? Come again, fish boy, I didn’t-” 

“My mate,” Steve blurts, and the fins on his hips flutter excitedly under Eddie’s fingers. “Robin isn’t my mate.” 

Eddie feels his mouth drop open. The water is unpleasantly cold against his flushed skin. 

“Wait,” he says when he finally remembers how to form words again. “Hold on a second. When did that happen?” 

Steve’s face is still scarlet, but his lips start twitching when he meets Eddie’s eyes. “That’s just the way she sees it. You can’t expect her to think in human standards. Now c’mon, we gotta get to dinner or the kids will wonder where-” 

“Oh, no!” Eddie interrupts him, mouth tugging into a stupid, wide grin of his own. “No, no, no, sweetheart. You don’t get to tell me that we’ve been mer-mated for God knows how long and never officially consummated that sacred connection. I’m gonna get a mer-divorce if you don’t-” 

“Oh God, shut up,” Steve groans, and kisses him. 

As he gets dragged off to their favorite little shore, well out of sight from the camp grounds, Eddie bids a brief mental farewell to the toolbox lying abandoned at the ground of the lake. He’ll have to make up some story about where it went when Dustin asks him, but that's a problem for later. 

For now, he’s got other things to think about.

Disney??

Truly having a hard time understanding how a small tv company could afford to take the time and energy to have people trained in life like mermaid tails. Key word being life like they also had the money to make the LIFE like tails. For the show H20 just add water.

Then we see the production of LIVE action little mermaid and its so badly CGIed you would swore it was from the early 2000′s. They decided it would be better to have a LIVE action remake of a cartoon remade with computer programing. Then to spend what would probably be the same amount of money on a life like tails. 

When I first heard about the live action little mermaid I was over the moon but the fact that it looks as fake as the cartoon and my side kick characters lost their pizzaz I just don’t want to see it at all. 

I would like to say that I’m aware of “you can’t shoot underwater and make it seem as life above land with talking and the hair” however, I personally don’t think that's a good enough excuse. I also am aware they changed the bird to a diving bird so it can be underwater and the songs to fit but the purpose of the bird was to be her LAND confidant and informant and I’m a stickler for old songs. 

I hope all the A+ actors in this will help keep the “dream” and “image” alive but I’ve lost complete faith in that. The reviews seem good so far, so we shall see.

Share a random headcanon or deleted scene from Just Add Water?

I keep joking that one of these days, I'll write a fic where Steve has decent parents, but I think they're actually okay in this universe - his mom at least.

Dick is probably pretty weirded out about his son inheriting the whole mermaid thing when it's usually only the girls on his wife's side of the family - but I imagine Steve has a good relationship with both his mom and his grandmother, who did their best to prepare him for his responsibilities as guardian of the lake.

I'd love to write about Eddie meeting the parents at some point. 🧜‍♂️💖
