i love when people put things in the h2o tags that have absolutely nothing to do with h2o ❤ and by 'love' i of course mean 'loathe and despise' ❤

if there is an h2o movie coming on the anniversary and there is no rikma endgame they can keep it actually

cant believe byron got mad at emma ordering him around. you should be grateful

everybody get more h2opilled for the summer NOW

i love how cleo acts like ms chatham is crazy for telling her to never talk to sea perch because you can’t trust those fish but mind you she talks to her fish all the time 

when people are having the very tired mako vs. h2o debate, SOMETIMES i will see people assert that mako covering more mermaid lore is an OBJECTIVE plus. like, they're framing h2o focusing less on lore as an obvious fault. if you really like the lore expansion, that's great, me too, but it's not inherently better than enigmatic mermaid origins or explanations. the shows really are just exploring different things. such an exploration of mermaid lore wouldn't work well in h2o because in season 1, especially, it is crucial for the characters' development that they accept the unknown. they have to accept that magic cannot be understood through a human scientific lens. this is important for a show about three girls who become mermaids, because they learn not to feel like freaks or science experiments. however, in a show about mermaids who live in a huge mermaid society, learning more about mermaid history and magic is how they learn about themselves and grow as characters.

watching h2o with bf and i've thought about this before but it really strikes me how beautifully season one is structured. we meet our big bad dr. denman on episode eight, about one-third into our 26-episode season. arguably the biggest inciting event of the season takes place in 1x13 'shipwrecked' at exactly the halfway mark. then the plot really starts kicking into gear around episode 18 in the last third of the season. we joke but it really is a sophisticated show strictly from a narrative perspective, the virgo in me loves to see it. anyway bring back 20+ episode series in 2026, the children yearn for filler, character development, and space for the story to breathe (it's me. i'm the children)

The Mako Mermaids hate is weird…idk about y’all, but as a child who just loved to mermaid shows, I didn’t care. And as an adult who still lives mermaid shows, I still don’t. Like let people enjoy things, you’re not better for liking h20 and hating on Mako and everyone who likes Mako.
