Are we going to see a fanscription about Ariel being raised by Ursula?
I absolutely love your fanscriptions guys! They always make my day! Never stop making them!
Minor nitpick. Sirens were actually a subspecie of Harpies, just praying in the sea cliffs.
Unda da sea Unda da sea
Yes she's a creature with some wierd features hypnotically
She's got the gills and luring voice
No she don't give sailors a choice
Swimming around here you will sure drown here
Unda da sea
Watch Drawn Together
This actually holds weight in canon. What if it wasn’t Ursula’s magic that hypnotized Eric but Ariel’s voice? She just never knew she could do that.
She always has, just doesn't know it
@@Icantfeelyousugah that’s word for word what I said.
Well, when Ursula was using Ariel's voice to sing, some smoke was coming from Ursula's shell necklace. It reached Eric's eyes where he was entranced by it.
@@ryhi5 I'm saying its Canon that her voice has a siren effect.
@@Icantfeelyousugah didnt the sequel disconfirm it as Eric still loves Ariel with no sign of being in a trance
This is the kind of imaginative stuff Disney _Should_ be doing. The idea makes sense given how Ursula used Ariel's voice to trick Eric.
Except this is way too dark and Disney could never sell it.
They’re a childrens’ content company first. You think they’d EVER go this messed up?! Parents would sue like crazy!
@@mc-rn8ro You forgot that Disney also did the Black Cauldron back in the 80s. hunchback also has some dark stuff in it too. I think they can pull off some darker material once in a while and this would've been a great example of that. This is just dark enough without going too dark
@@kdusel1991 yeah, except that didn't work. That's actually a perfect example of why they wouldn't/can't do it.
Regardless of what we, or anyone thinks of that film; it was not successful. They're never risking something like that ever again.
But instead Disney will just continue to blackify everything as though we don't already see them enough on TV nonstop!
So annoying 🙄
@@mc-rn8ro If there is enough money in it, Disney would go on record as saying that they won't make movies for kids any more. Disney would freaking cook your children into burgers and serve them with fries at Disneyland if it meant making enough quick dollars to get them out of debt.
Ariel being a siren is better than Ursula's crazy sister XD
Morgonna still made more sense of existing then Zira
@Nicholas Sims yeah, but Zira was more badass. And just don't make me start talking about "My lullaby"!
@@valentinkambushev4968 badass shouldn't matter as how can someone support Scar being a good ruler when that was not the case. At leaste Morgana can exist as were never told about Ursula family so her having a sisters is more believable
@@nicholassims9837 jeez a legion of faifhfull followers from an evil overlord that are trying to rebuilt his legacy? that shit only happens in fiction, now lets ask the skinheads what they think about this...
PS: thats the only movement YT let me write.
... except that it's impossible for Ariel to be a siren, and Ursula having siblings isn't farfetched. If she were a siren then her mother would've been one too, sirens are completely different creatures from merpeople, a lot of similarities, but different creatures... starting with the fact that Sirens are Greek ocean spirits, women only bird people, while merpeople could be either gender 1/2 person 1/2 fish, are much older in stories coming from ancient Sumera the oldest known human civilization, and not spirits (though descended from a God).
Mermaids also killed and ate people almost as much as sirens, could be just as evil, they both had beautiful voices to lure men to their graves. Sirens did it for either food or because funny to watch big ship go boom, then would feast on the survivors while still alive. Mermaids either would lure men to drown them and then eat them after they died, or would keep them alive but only to reproduce, what happens to you afterwards ehhh well... who can say either keep you or wouldn't.
Gotta admit, Ariel's first transformation into the siren? Absolutely terrifying. It reminds me of Raiders of the Lost Ark, when the beautiful spirit from the Ark turns into a demonic figure.
It made me jump a little bit. In a good way!
Those were angels I thought
@kdusel yeah I was waiting for it to happen but thought the video froze at first then the unexpected jump scare 😅
It would make her gorgeous singing voice make since. Plus, we'd probably get a one-on-one between her and Ursula, and I'd love that.
That'd be so cool!! I really hope there's a part two crossover with the elseworlds frozen movies they've done!
*sense
I would love to see that!
Well dang, that was dark as heck. Surprised it ended with Ursula actually winning, Triton being under her control permanently, Eric seeming to now be trapped forever, and Ariel going to do who knows what from here on out
A fanscription where the villain wins in the end? Now that’s awesome! And by the looks of it, it seems like we’re getting a hint towards a Frozen 4 fanscription.
Either that or an expansion of their own Fanscription version of Frozen. And that’s just the beginning. Maybe Ursula will also cross paths with Jafar who came across Ursula in her path of conquest and he makes a bargain with her in order to restore himself to full power and in exchange he aids her in conquering Agrabah. Remember that the alternative is Ursula kills him so Jafar would have to play as a subservient role in order to stay alive.
Yeah because I would like to see the Horned king win
@@srstriker6420that would lead to the end of all life in the world.
@@chadpeterson5698 well I’m trying to figure out what to do for a Black Calderon FanScription
The Disneyvengers.
Now I really hope to see in the future a horror movie with sirens.
Okay yeah, that sounds cool actually, maybe the guys that made Whinnie the Pooh Blood and Honey can Make it
@@EditKingdumb except Blood and Honey was pretty bad actually. But I do like the idea
The mermaids from Pirates of the Caribbean: on stranger's tides is the closest thing to see horror movie ariel.
they need to make more mermaid shows and movies, i j can’t get enough
Yeah Maybe If I Become A Horror Movie Directior I Can Use This Idea! The Plot Could Be A Pirate Looking For The Kraken But Accidentally Finds A Siren And Gets Attracthed To Her But Then He Finds Out That She Was A Siren
I love this idea... are we setting up for a Disney Cinematic Universe? That could be amazing!
\fuck yea. i hope different frozen universe than they did. nno tarzan or evil anna. see, disney, that's the way 26:37. imagine the theater reaction.
@@onlygiovanniallthetime Just a theater of people gasping, "No f***ing way!" Just like the first time Nick Fury stepped onto the big screen.
Friendly reminder that Ariel and Hercules are technically cousins
@@onlygiovanniallthetime speaking of What if Queen La was in Disney Tarzan movie as if she found him first before Jane does
@@onlygiovanniallthetime I actually like what they did. I think an elseworlds disney cinematic universe would be pretty cool actually!
I came back to this video after watching the live action remake of the Little Mermaid, and this has so much more emotional weight. I love how this story not only uses the siren voice, but also makes Ariel a literal monster, with no control over her actions, it's actually a kind of Greek Tragedy.
I like what you did with Ursula since you gave her a sympathetic backstory since she was betrayed by the man she loved and that’s why she’s motivated with her desire for power and vengeance. At the same time she’s also a much darker character especially given how she accomplishes her goals. Overall she might be more evil than her original counterpart but she still has a sympathetic backstory that keeps her from being Pure Evil like your versions of Scar, Jafar, and Hades. So if Ursula is this dark, imagine Shan Yu, Frollo, or The Horned King. The latter of whom wanted to wipe out all life in the original film.
This comment is definitely not a complaint, I really enjoyed this, but the whole time it felt like they were using the backstory of modern Maleficent for Ursula. I kind of wish they weren’t leading it to connect with Frozen and kept it as its own contained story, but I’m still looking forward to the next part! I have no idea where they’re going with it now 😅
Dude, this Fanscription left me speechless. Ursula gets her revenge, Eric being left to die and Ariel (cursed/betrayed) brings terror to a new beginning. 😳
If there's a sequel, it will be Ariel's revenge. By the end, Ursula and Atlantica are destroyed. The curse isn't broken but somewhat well-controlled, and though Ariel couldn't get Eric to love her as husband, the epilogue shows, the mother of the Sirens still got him to father a clutch of daughters waiting to hatch. His eyes, her hair.
@@The_Acolyte_of_Spider-Man Not everybody hates those movies, alright? Especially someone like me who enjoys mostly everything to do with the story. Let us enjoy it, alright? 🙄
To be honest I like this idea
"What If...Tai Lung Turned Good in Kung Fu Panda?"
"What If...Mirabel Madrigal Became The Villain in Encanto?"
What if Hercules 2 happened?
What If Fiona was trapped in her marriage with Faquad
What If Fiona and Charmings kiss worked
Intriguing Ideas!
1. Tai Lung would've had more inner peace to accept Shifu's apology.
2. Mirabel's villain arc is understandable because she and her Uncle Bruno had been outcast believing they were the cause of Casita dying, when it was really Abuela's pressure. Mirabel's caring side is still there for Antonio, Luisa, and Bruno. But her transformation could be something filled with jealousy, but layered from hurt and betrayal in her family.
This is literally perfect its exactly what Disney should have done with the live action version a familiar yet twisted take on a classic
This was a pretty freaky but interesting fanscription guys I'll give you credit you did a fantastic job ❤
Technically speaking, if she was a Siren, she would be a daughter of Oceanus, the Titan, while canon Ariel is a granddaughter of Poseidon, (given Triton is her dad).
That said, Water Nymph’s (what Ariel actually is) have plenty of showings of being just as dangerous and alluring as their cousins. They also have a heck of a lot of precedent for turning into sea monsters, come to that.
Scylla being a prime example.
@@NeuviletteiudexofmemesOr nereus he's the father of amphtrite the queen of the sea and posideons wife so in any case it does hold weight and you're right many water nymphs have been turned into sea monsters like Scylla so Ariel being an aquatic siren does hold weight here
Honestly, with THAT ending, I'm wondering if there's going to be a part 2 to this.
I NEED THAT PART 2.
@@MarioLord14 Same here!!!
@@darkdragon7210 me too
There should be, no one likes an unresolved cliffhanger.
I love these Disney FanScriptions. I wish there were more of these.
Edit: Though probably not with such a downer of an ending.
This is By Far my Favorite FanScription! Sirens are one of my favorite Mythical Creatures. I wish there was a movie out there that was just as dark as this.
Ursula is the first Villain/Disney Villain to win in this Fanscription story series. She gets her revenge by eating King Victor alive. I also enjoyed the ending where Ariel hypnotizes and presumably eats those men alive I hope more Fanscription series where the villains win is created because I REALLY enjoyed reading this one, keep up the great work.
Yeah because I want to see the Horned king win and maybe make Pocahontas historically accurate
@@srstriker6420 In time we will see those.
That was extremely well thought out and made. Ariel’s fate here is truly a tragic one….!
9:06 9:09 Dam that jumpscare got me when the video stopped for a few seconds I just thought my video was just buffering a bit but when Ariel jumped out at me I got the life frightened out of me good job
That was good
@@TitanWar93 I know right
That's it?! Please do a part two! Ahhhh!!!! This was so cool and y'all made me jump several times.
I got goosebumps after this Fanscription. Well done. I hope the end was a setup for what could be a very interesting trilogy.
Don't worry, let's pray Ariel will find her redemption. I know Flounder, Scuttle, and Her Sisters are searching for her in all regions of the ocean right now. Triton's view on humans is still unclear, it's going to take a everyone, including Sebastian to break him out of his trance! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Jesus Christ, this story was neat, friend. You really nailed it. I totally LOVE this kind of serious mature and dramatic version.
I shall watch your others videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
@@ChannelAwesome if this is going to be a crossover then maybe can we a FanScription on the Black Calderon?
Sora, Donald and Goofy are gonna have their work cut out for them in this timeline...
This is by far the most interesting fanscription I've seen in a while. Keep up the amazing work guys
This is definitely your darkest one yet, kudos.
Definitely curious to see what you have planned next week considering this month you said we get two fanscriptions back to back.
Maybe that'll be a continuation of this.
@@highfivers5062 It's possible, that did cross my mind. Though I'd also understand if they just wanted to leave this one on how they ended it.
@@coreymajtyka460 well I was expecting Batman Unchained
@@srstriker6420 I was honestly expecting a scrapped second Batman Beyond film that had Catwoman and a clone of Terry in it.
Or possibly something Walter suggested in that Scarecrow episode from this year's Bat May.
@@coreymajtyka460 I would, too. But you never know.
I really REALLY hope you do a part to for this story. You´re ability to make new stories out of old ones is outstanding. You're a remarkable writer.
Love this plot! Disney would never have the guts to do anything like this but it would be so entertaining to see a horror movie done by Disney. They totally have it in them. Cinderella III (Twist in Time) had potential of being horror, lol.
Are we going to see a fanscription about Ariel being raised by Ursula?
they already did that with Hercules.
@@kikotama9518
i know, but i don't mind seeing it twice,
maybe in this version captain hook made a deal with Ursula to kidnap ariel after he killed Athena (when he rammed her with his ship)
and ursula raised her to steal the trident.
i mean hypothetically speaking that would interesting
@@kikotama9518And The Lion King
It would be interesting.
I absolutely love these fanscritions! You guys have so much talent!
This... was... crazy!! And I love it!! So damn dark, and just like in the actual story, Ariel doesn't get her man. Way to make this creepy and interesting at once!
During the ad break, I got a trailer for the live action little mermaid and lemme tell you that no force on earth could stop me laughing at the irony 😂😂
Part 2 soon pleeaasee!!!!
Dispite this being a rewrite, its a more unique consept thats enjoyable and it would be a crime to leave it on a cliffhanger.
Especially since netflix is on a kick when it comes to canceling all their best animated shows without properly ending them.
🎵 "Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame
I know your love might be the death of me
But I run to you just the same" 🎵
This theory makes sense. Mermaids and Sirens are close cousins. In Greek mythology Sirens were known to lure men to their watery graves by their beautiful voices. I like to think of Ariels voice having that Siren lure and Ursula using the nautilus shell sort of like a magical megaphone to amplify the singing.
staying in Greek Mythology. King Triton, the son of Poseidon. Who is the brother of Zeus and Hades, making him the uncle to both Hercules and Persephone (in the context of the DECU (Disney Elseworld Cinematic Universe))
@@The_Acolyte_of_Spider-Man Anansi (ie your friendly west African neighbourhood Spider-Man)
But what is human?
I have a couple of fanscription ideas I'd like to see:
- What If Disney focused on Darker Material?
- What If The Last Airbender 2 Happened?
- What If Dragonball Evolution 2 Happened?
I mean, what would The Last Airbender 2 even be? It would just be Book 2 Earth but worse, boring and nonsensical.
R u trying to get us all killed out here? 😱
Disney movies like Peter Pan and Little Mermaid have a lot of potential as horror movies in all honesty they'd be better than the constant live action remakes.
Fr fr
Don’t forget the Black Calderon
Me reading the original Little Mermaid fairy tale as a kid: Wow, that was heavy. There's no way another Little Mermaid story will ever have such a bleak ending.
Channel Awesome years later: Hold my beer.
If Ariel was a siren, she would have feathers and more closely resemble a bird.
Not really Sirens are more similar to a mermaid not a bird, Bird like is more harpy.
Makes sense. After all, Sirens were originally bird people before being conflated with mermaids.
Oh man I can sense a major crossover with the other fanscription they had done and I'm all for it 💜
You mean with Tarzan being in frozen?
@@HunterPrime_YT Yep
Walt, this was freaking awesome man. Very well done.
I never actually thought of that but I think aerial might actually be a siren and a thirsty one at that, That actually makes more sense why Ursula took her voice And why Eric was so mesmerized by Ariel's song in the first place
... except that it's impossible for Ariel to be a siren, and Ursula having siblings isn't farfetched. If she were a siren then her mother would've been one too, sirens are completely different creatures from merpeople, a lot of similarities, but different creatures... starting with the fact that Sirens are Greek ocean spirits, women only bird people, while merpeople could be either gender 1/2 person 1/2 fish, are much older in stories coming from ancient Sumera the oldest known human civilization, and not spirits (though descended from a God).

Mermaids either would lure men to drown them and then eat them after they died, or would keep them alive but only to reproduce, what happens to you afterwards ehhh well... who can say either keep you or wouldn't.
Sounds more like Ariel is not a (pure)Siren, but her mother might have been.
How many people out there have ever been mesmerized by their favorite singer?
@@crispincain1665 the prequel movie that nobody asked for said that her mom was just another mermaid
*Ariel
Love these "the villain wins" fanscriptions. Thank you.
I enjoy the amount of work you put into these, Walter! Love theorizing as well. Very cool stuff!
This movie has always had a special place in my heart ever since I saw it as a 6-year-old little boy. It was the movie that introduced me to all things Disney. It also began my love for redheads.
But I was blown away by this Fanscription. I was concerned at first thinking it was going revolve around Ariel being the villain, but I'm glad it didn't turn out that way. I'm also glad you just didn't take the easy route and go with "What if Ariel was raised by Ursula." While that seems like an interesting concept, it just feels like a cheap way of telling an alternate take of a story. It certainly does look like we'll be getting part 2 somewhere down the road because I can't imagine you guys ending the story like this. It also looks like we'll be revisiting the world of "Frozen" once more.
Awesome Fanscription guys. Looking forward to what you churn out next.
Now this would've made the original film a lot more darker. Also, the moment she turns into a siren for the first time? It legitimately made me jump out of my skin.
Same
A horror version of The Little Mermaid!? Hell yeah!
One exist already. It's called "The Lure". It's a polish movie, but it's awesome.
Journey to Atlantis!
I love the original film a lot but I have no shame in admitting that I would be so up for seeing this fully realised as an animated film. With that ending you have to do a follow up for this I wanna know where it goes next, this was so good. 😊👍
We need a sequel to this! ^_^
Okay ngl this one was EXTREMELY dark
Was not expecting this kind of ending for The Little Mermaid, but this one was definitely a good and creepy one
Well hi
I let this sink in for a few hours and I am still imagining this in my head! Man, what a horror story that would be!
A back story for Ursula is a brilliant idea and you guys came up with a really good concept. I would much rather have seen that be a live action movie than a crappy retelling of The Little Mermaid. Hey, it worked for Maleficent so why not try it with Ursula, am I right?
I can’t wait to see a part two if you do do that.
This honestly is somehow better than the movie
I can strangely appreciate Ursula's anger and her succeeding in her revenge in this one, considering what was done to her. Poor Ariel, though
This honestly your best and most darkest Disney Elseworlds Fanscription yet. Keep up the good work.
It’s like you read my mind with movie conspiracies and different interpretations, I love it
Now seeing how Little Mermaid and Frozen are now connected here, I have a feeling on what really happened that night when Elsa and Anna's parents died
Actually mermaids are a kind of sirens, which was why her voice was really important
You know what. That actually makes sense.
Sirens used to be depicted as birds with women faces.
@@boriskoutsenok6013 Sometimes I wonder if the myth started as sailors too long at sea thinking they were hearing birdsong (implying land is nearby) and sailing off-course.
That’s so cool
@@ShabreaChandler it was nice when the movie didn't spell it out, unlike the remake
Ok, there's gotta be a sequel. There's no wat you guys can just end it there.
This was great, but the story has to continue on another day!
I agree. We need a sequel to this Disney Fanscription of Ariel being a Siren. Also, I hope you guys make another Disney Fanscription you guys originally planned for What if Belle became the Beast and two X-Men Fanscriptions What if Angel/Archangel was in X2: X-Men United and What if Bryan Singer and Matthew Vaughn directed X-Men 3 called X3: Rise of the Dark Phoenix.
\fuck yea. i hope different frozen universe than they did. nno tarzan or evil anna. see, disney, that's the way 26:37. imagine the theater reaction.
I definitely agree. This feels like the Directors Cut of Little Shop of Horrors. The ending is just too much of a downer, at least for me.
Finally, a Disney movie that deserves a sequel.
26:37 wait, wait just dang minute you can't do this! COME ON! You sir know the deal of wanting more. I've been fallowing your fanscriptions since the Tim burton directed days, now you're gonna do a cross over avengers type end scene credits!? You sir are the reason I subscribe, Keep up the good work.
Wow this was awesome, I would love to see a actual movie version of this story
This is amazing. I love how you combined Little Mermaid & Frozen in this one. I'm guessing your gonna do a Frozen 4 after this?
Anyways, i didn't know there was a difference between Mermaids & Sirens. I also seen a deleted scene from Onward that included sirens.
Far better than the live action remake. Personally, I want Ariel to have completely turned into a mersiren-since in Greek I'm pretty sure they're bird people not fish people-and is just stuck obeying Ursula with almost nothing left of her original self. I think it fits well with the darker story and is a side effect of both her not getting Eric to kiss her and having her heart broken. She's now consumed by both heartbreak and the spell.
I have an idea, what if Ariel was a Selkie, and how would that affect her relationships with Eric and her family? Considering that Selkies can only spend 7 years on land, along with being able to have children with seal-like features, along with if their coat, which can allow them to stay with their loved ones when locked up, is destroyed, they either become human or die, there’s so many story possibilities!
Man, how easy it can be to turn such a calming melody into something that so haunting.
Video Request: “What If Gothel Failed To Kidnap Rapunzel As A Child?”
This was absolutely amazing! I really hope you guys make a part 2
Well to be more accurate if she were a Greek Siren then she would be a half-Bird woman instead of half-Fish, a better term for an Evil/Monster-like Mermaid would be the Germanic Nixie or the Nordic Neck, but enough about That let's just enjoy the story!
The jumpscare of her transforming got me.
Me too, I was watching it with my boyfriend and we thought the video was buffering but then THAT happened😂
@@rondabrown7851wtf?!
Now that’s how the story really should worked. You got a new sub!
This was really chilling
A great twist of the original movie awesome job I loved it🧜🏼♀️😈🌊
I would love to see "What if Prince Erick was turned in to a merman"
Nice jump scare at 9:07. I wasn't prepared for that.
Damn! Now THAT'S a haunting tale! Good job!
Well, Sirens were part-fish, part-human. So it fits, plus Ursula does use Ariel's voice to enchant Prince Eric.
This is a way better script than the official remake.
This twisted horror version of The Little Mermaid is awesome! Mostly, I hate horror-twisted Disney - But this one is great!
Man that siren reveal scared the crap out of me I can't hold you.
All-in-all well done story very dark and very apropos to the o.g. story
This was a very imaginative story. I couldn't help but feel somewhat bad for Ariel by the end of it since all she wanted was to find adventure and true love on land. However I suspect the story isn't quite over. I'm curious to see if there might be a follow-up at some point!
Always love seeing Disney Fanscriptions😁
It Should Be Called “What If The Little Mermaid was A Horror Movie?”
With that being said, showing Ursula's backstory is nice and would've made a much better origin movie than Maleficent or Cruella.
That was amazing! And I hope theirs a part 2!
I LOVEEEEE THIS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME IDEAS for my virtual music video
Ill admit im pleasently surprised of how this ended.
1. Establishes a motive for ursula hating humans due to a betrayal by eric's granparents
2. Utilizes existing lore to futher alter the story while remaining accurate in universe
3. Changes ariel and eric dynamic from love to down right hated.
4. The villian wins at the end
5. Ariel as a character actually gets consequences to her actions.
6. Posible crossover maybe?
In conlusion this was surprisingly enjoyable, if disney had decided to make this version of the live action remake people might not have raise fire and pitchforks granted ursulas story in this version is essentially maleficent if she actual had followed throught with her vengeance; not to mention it gives he a genuine reason to go after eric in the 1st place and how she achieves it. Now the real reason i enjoy it was due to the depiction of ariel here she actual has to deal with the repercussions of her actions. Her love was a childs whim born of ignorant innocence one that ursula explioted to her benefit, cursing ariel in to a montrous siren being to sheer intrument for destroying eric kingdom and family; ending with erics rejection and digust for ariels actions. Ariel lost everything and above all her heart was broken due to her own misguided choices. And heres the thing this is actually close to how the book ends its the story of un requited love but here its the story of a misguided love and obessive love and the dangers that leads to. Nice touch on the arendele ending here cause fun fact hans christian anderson wrote both the little mermaid and the snow queen aka frozen. If this does end with a crossover sequel with your frozen what if it be and interesting idea. If not i could see a sequel where eric escapes the cave and hunts down ursula who has now started invading other kingdoms somehow and reluctantly reuniting with ariel to put an end to ursula with an army of humans and the remaining merfolk that havent being altered ursula is defeated the merfolk are saved, eric gains his vengeance maybe learns the truth of ursula and his granfather. At best he decides to rebuild his kingdom and makes it very clear to triton that merfolk can never return to his kindgom ever again but allows them to return to atlantica and swear no merfolk shall be hunted down as a olive branch due to their effort in defeating the sea witch. The humans rebuild their kingdom and eric becomes king and has a family, meanwhile in atlantica all seems well as a new king arion triton's grandson via his eldest daughter assumes the throne as triton has retired due to illness and grief; his daughters aided him to the best of their abilities taking on many of their father's responsabilities ruling the 7 seas. Tensions between humans and merfolk continued to be strained as humans still fear and despise the merfolk but rarely hunt them as decreed by the now older king eric, they mostly stay away from the kingdoms and remain in the sea living their lives now wary of humans themselves. As for ariel well hers is not a happy ending having chosen to exile herself from atlantica due mainly to her people's distrust and resentment of ariels action and her fathers dissapointment she flees surprisingly to ursulas old cavern now completely abadoned as her captives in her garden were freed from thwir curses. Only ariel remains the last curse victim of ursulas magic, sje spends many years going through the magic books ursula had studying to find away to free herself from the siren curse but she only is able to gain some semblance of control but now is permantly stuck in her siren form. So fleas to farthest regions of the sea hoping to isolated herself from merfolk and human alike. Time passes and slowly her body begins to weaken alomst as if the curse began to drain her lifeforce she decides to find and isolated cavern where she ultimately ends her life leaving only a trail of foam where she once was only for her call to echo endlessly in the cavern.
OOH! I cannot wait for Part 2!
If Disney wanted to make a dark turn on their films for an older audience, this is how they should do it.
You know some people refer to mermaids as sirens mostly because of the songs that they sing to make ships crash into rocks
What if Alice became Ruler of Wonderland?
What if when Prince Philip went to kiss Aurora to wake her up, he became cursed and fell asleep too?
Ariel: "Just wait and see... one day I'll be... EATING YOUR FLESH!!!"
goddamnit that Ariel siren jumps are got me…
A siren, then hopefully Eric had read enough of The Odyssey to know what to do.
*please make a part 2 I’m so interested to figure out what happens next*
Is it just me, or do I want to see a continuation of this particular Elseworlds story?
You’re not alone. I also think this deserves a follow up where we get a happy ending.
That's basically how it'd play out if "The Little Mermaid" were written by HP Lovecraft instead of Hans Christian Andersen.
The Shadow over Atlantica
Mermaids have a raspy voice to shoo away sailors, but sirens have a beautiful voice that lures sailors to her and kills them. That’s why Ariel is a siren
