Weve established that mako mermaids and h2o have... conflicting lore to put it lightly but what are some ways to fixit fic the two together? Bc youd definitely have to rewrite parts of both shows to make it work. I at least think the majority of mako mermaids lore can stay youd just have to work it into h2o.
Some ideas:
Lengthen the amount of time that the mako pod was away from mako so theres no overlap between them and the h2o girls and the 50s mermaids
Let the mako pod have overlap with the 50s mermaids but let mrs chatham still be really cryptic about everything so that the girls dont find out
Let the girls find out about mermaid society during s3 ish bc bella is a born mermaid/ has come in to contact with mermaid society bc she got moon pooled in Ireland when she was nine she had to have met others c'mon
When rikki meets the mako girls, have her already know about other mermaids
That spell book they found in s1 was literally only there for an episode, one of them had to be curious who wrote it after the spell they tried worked
Let one human character in the entire run of mako mermaids google mermaids + wherever it is they live bc they eventually will find one article or something, archived message boards, of zane bennett ranting about mermaids

Ahhh, what the heck, your comics are so cute??? 🤣
I'm kinda curious tho (as a fellow ace)—and only if you don't mind my asking?—how you and your partner met/figured out your QPA. Because I've tried the whole... get to know people in person thing, the online dating thing, and it just... doesn't make sense. 😵💫 How does one find a platonic life partner in what often feels like an ocean of straight amatonormativity..? 😅
Thank you so much for the kind words!^^
I feel like my partner would be wayyyy better suited to answer that one since they're the one who suggested to be in a QPR in the first place! But to be perfectly transparent and factual I guess I'll explain the step-by-step:
I wasn't looking for anything specific, to begin with, I was very content to vibe on my own with friends and family as support. (The aro-aceness in me helped in that sense, I believe)
My partner and I started off as online friends that just got along very well and talked a lot about common interests, as close friendships work typically, at least for me
We're both ace so we talked a lot about that, and about what works for us and what doesn't
About a year and a half after starting to talk online, they suggested trying out being in a QPR. My clueless ass had no idea what that was, how that worked, and was pretty much a mess about it, but also down to try, so there we went.
It worked for us. It felt like a nice and comfy type of relationship to be in.
About six months after that we met up IRL for the first time. Vibes were very much verified IRL too.
We started out with a pretty high level of boundaries but have built up more intimacy (both in terms of physical and what we're willing to talk about vulnerably) over time. It's always been done in the form of a suggestion, in a "would you vibe with that, because I would, but if you wouldn't let's not" sort of way. It's been developing pretty naturally and smoothly.
We're still long-distance to this day because we live in different countries. We're considering marriage, mainly as a means to an end, in order to be able to stay in the same place without one of the two risking being kicked out after a while. But ironically, before that necessity even dawned on us, on our first meeting, I was the one who'd blurted out "I've never wanted to marry anyone but if it were you, I think I could". I'm still baffled I could even blurt something like that out, but I did, so I'll stand by that.
No idea what the future has in store, and if we'll stay like this permanently or not, but I don't think it'd be earth-shattering if it did end – but it IS looking pretty good as it is now, and it's good that it's nice now. It's definitely a vibe.
Hopefully that can help a little? TwT But yeah, I wasn't trying in the first place to get any kind of relationship like that, so I guess my original situation is slightly different... Either way I wish you all the best and I hope you can find something that works for you!!

"It's okay, Khalan. I'm right here. You're safe."
some Pain based on a few new developments within the SMP story. got a decently long explanation under the cut, for anyone interested.
so @cookieg122 and I decided that Khalan and Aya eventually find themselves in Aya's home dimension - a world ruled by a race of powerful fairies who are hell-bent on eternal conquest and proudly declare their violent Empire as the strongest in the world. Aya was their princess, having disappeared under mysterious circumstances (aka when she arrived in Drehmal), and her older brother had been searching for her ever since.
her sudden return ended up placing Khalan under suspicion though - as Aya's brother wrongly assumed that Khalan was responsible for "kidnapping" Aya and had him arrested as a result;; the corrupt king also got involved, hearing terrible rumors that were quickly circulating about Khalan and believing that he had hurt his daughter, so he made the swift decision to have Khalan publicly tortured and executed the next morning (multiple times over; since Khalan is immortal) as a way to make an example out of him to the Empire's subjects and remind them of what happens if they step out of line and threaten the royal family.
so of course Aya saves him!!!! she convinces her brother that Khalan is innocent so he also helps out with the rescue, and between the two of them they manage to stand up to their dad and save Khalan from a terrible situation ;n;;
there's like. so SO much more to this concept that I can't really explain, but that's roughly what's going on within the feelsy art here;; I kept thinking of just. the intense emotions happening within that moment, of Aya stepping up and taking on the role of comforter even though that's normally Khalan's thing. role reversal tropes always get me, and tbh Khalan just needs a moment to break down and process just how terrifying that whole situation was before he can help Aya deal with everything too;;
srry this got long, I wasn't sure how else to explain this pic without going into some detail. but I hope y'all can appreciate the feels anyway ;o;
