One of the more difficult parts of writing serious parts of my future webcomic is the fact that they’re mermaids. They’re all mermaids (or at least the overwhelming majority of them). And mermaids are overwhelmingly associated with children’s mythical creature. So when things get too dark I’m like whoa but then I’m like you know what? This is my mermaid story about how war affects all parties involved, how child soldiers affects the mental health of the next generation and why good and bad are more blurred than it seems. And I’ll be damned if the association of mermaid with childish, causes my story to be watered down in anyway 😠
