Metior_Ice's Merfolk Story Thread

I’m following some of the little mermaid themes, but it’s not going to be 100% the same story. There’s still a lot more I want to do with my merfolk, and if I’m being honest, the expanded mermaids mod really does have a lot of gameplay that follows that theme. How could I not dabble in it?

those dinglehoppers can be so dangerous. Kemps has some very reasonable concerns about human trinkets, and Calum is absolutely an expert on humans. :D

Dylan is the creative twin, not the most observant, but his heart is always in the right place. Zeph is the intellectual twin, notices things his twin often misses, and he always has a plan.

Both twins need each other, and Zeph needs Dylan to keep his ego in check. Dylan might not be observant in the same way Zeph is, but he does know when his twin is getting a bit full of himself.

That’s definitely one of the themes I really want to focus on in my story, an idea that I think can help new stories be told about merfolk. Human or Merfolk, there are some things that are universal, and we all have choices we need to make in life. Youthful rebellion can be just as much a part of a young mer’s life in much the same way it is for humans. Merfolk can still care about their family like humans do.

The trick is knowing when to make the right choices. Kemps cares about Alex, and there is a very good chance he knows that Alex wasn’t originally a merman, but a human. Kinda adds a bit more complexity to Kemps than King Triton’s biases about humans.

Kemps both cares about and is protective of Alex knowing that he wasn’t always a merman. He’s embraced Arihi in the family knowing that she was once human. Maybe Kemps isn’t as anti-human as he appears, just a bit more wary of them.
