I'm also mildly disappointed that Aphmau spent most of the time singing. I also dislike the fact both Caspian and Layla died but weren't murdered, wouldn't it have been a fun contrast if Aaron spared Caspian but Aph didn't spare Layla? I think we could've cut down on the singing and allowed the tension to build winding up to Aph killing her.

I thought Jason said no more mouths on Minecraft characters why did Layla have a shark tooth grin? And where did her shark teeth go during the animated bit?

Since this will likely be my last Mermaid Tales post until (possible) S3, we didn't need both the MID boys and the pup pack in this. Imo the final pay off of them killing the general guy would be more satisfying if either group absorbed the other and were more reoccurring.

Was it the wolf who told Layla about the realm breaker? Because my mind immediately thought of mod mod world/void paradox instead.

Upsetting we didn't get to hear whatever the wolf told Aaron, but ig it'd be mystreet spoilers. Also where on earth did Aaron find the mcd baby pendant??

Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and the frog prince all have curses inherited (& or doomed to happen), with 'prince charmings' allowed to be anyone. Beauty is the beast's princess charming more or less, and it makes it really weird that The Beauty role gets passed down instead of The Beast role. It also inheriantly causes more problems because what if nobody got cursed to be a beast? Do they have to count on whoever inherited The Enchantress destiny to curse some rando to be a beast instead of the cycle all the other families have?

ZACH IS SO GETTING A REDEMPTION ARC I CAN SMELL IT. For the record, I hate the idea, nothing you can do will ever justify ABANDONING a child, and possibly grooming another to be a monster.

Ein had ever potions with who knows what effects used on him in the last chapter of his life, if Zach has known Ein so long Michael considers him Zach's child, that Sylvanna mistook him for an affair baby, and we *know* Zach isn't above experimenting on children...

Entering into evidence for my premonition; we know Zach and Elizabeth were persuaded by Michael to use the canon to under the promise he'd use it to stop some world ending threat (like it was intended to), one last time has a comet motif, comets do tend to end worlds. As to what I think it'll look like, psssh I dunno, per Jason's foreshadowing turns out Zach is a cursed soul too, so make him literal canon fodder I guess.

I feel bad for people who genuinely enjoyed cocomau, and feel blindsided by this. Like I said I had a hunch this whole time, but I do know a lot of people in the fandom watched the 'smp' for comfort.

This is some biblical ultimatum, get your childhood series back but in order to fund it the creators make AI slop for children. Kids deserve better than Ai entertaining them, they deserve things made with passion and love not stolen art and an absurd amount of water.

They had a lot of options beyond choosing this. They could've alternated between having their team of writers write scripted stuff and going back to how cocomau started; mod reviews. They could've finally backpedaled on daily uploads and started uploading on weekends. Yet, they landed on this one.

At least on commercial if something happens there are hundreds of witnesses with cameras, and the perpetrator gets arrested upon landing.

But when the 'must be okay using AI' job listing circulated I wanna say a year ago(?) I figured it was probably Cocomau that used AI for their scripts. I mean it made sense, Cocomau is as scripted as a role play and released more frequently due to not having minigames to break up the week. (Not to mention most of the titles sound like AI prompts.)

Fluttershy is easy, circle back to the bat pony thing + discord shenanigans.

Rainbow I think we can claim radiation of some kind from doing sonic rainbooms.

Applejack maybe making zap apples into some kind of elixir lowkey paralleling various magical apples from mythos.

Rarity, I'm not certain how but I want changeling shenanigans that end in her getting the butterfly wings back. Basically something in between an alicorn, a changeling, and her old self.

My idea for Pinkie is similar to Rainbow and Fluttershy, either we pivot to her having the same radiation thing Rainbow has from lowkey getting hit by the first rainboom, or the chaos magic she had for all of five seconds keeps her alive so long as she causes mass chaos every 5 to 10 years.
