[And now it's like Hux doesn't even know who to root for. He's definitely not a fan of Ursula and her trickery, but he's also been conditioned not to trust Triton. He doesn't believe for a second that Ariel's going to be happier with either of them and instead has made his way off the bed and onto the ground, to sit closer to the screen]

It is, technically.

[Says Hux, the Forever Lawful Evil faction. Ariel should have really had an attorney of her own present.]

Though if she's not of legal age to sign, I don't-

[OH OKAY NOW TRITON IS A WORM THING AND THINGS ARE MORE STRESSFUL]

[Honestly, Triton is the king. If he really has a legal system in place where this is all above board, Rhys has questions. But now he's given up his crown and trident for Ariel, and Ursula is swelling to enormous proportions, and Rhys is pretty sure they're all screwed--

When he sees Eric at the helm of the ship!]

Is he going to-- Will that even work?

[worstweasley]

[welp okay bottle of mixed feelings because while he's been sympathizing here with Ariel this whole movie, her expression of fear as she's trapped is something he's seen himself.

As the person who usually is the one aiming the weapon.

He glances back over at Rhys' question, over his shoulder]

Not normally, but if it's traveling at enough speed, which it seems to be-...

[oh boy yep that sure is a person being impaled by a freaking boat]


...This is what they show children?

[Like, he'd seen worse, and so had his cadets but he couldn't imagine this kind of thing being played to civilian children in softer, more peaceful times]

[therushingsky]

It's for all the family...

[Songs for the children, horrible death scenes for the adults.

But at least the worms are turning into merpeople again now, and Eric is safe, and Ariel is back where she started, trapped in the sea, longing to be, part of his world...]

[Hux has mentally prepared himself for a bittersweet ending. So he's a bit frozen again when he sees it's Ariel's dad who finally lets her go off and transforms her]

He could do that the entire time?

[Spam]

[therushingsky]

[Fuck bittersweet endings, Rhys wanted this wedding, and he's getting it.]

He needed to learn to let her go, and quit being such a bullying, controlling dick.

[And now he has! Well done, dad.]

[Spam]

[worstweasley]

Until he gets angry again or decides it would be easier to have her back where he could keep a closer watch.


[clearly. Hux is less satisfied by this outcome, and is entirely unconvinced that this state of affairs is permanent]

[Spam]

[therushingsky]

I think he's learned his lesson. He literally nearly lost everything because he was trying to control her. Look at him, he gets that.

[And the credits begin to roll.]

Re: [Spam]

[worstweasley]

He also has six other daughters. Letting the youngest go wasn't such a sacrifice.

[well okay that's the end of the movie??]

At least she got what she wanted.

[Spam]

[therushingsky]

Yeah. God, it would have really sucked to go back to the sea after going through all that...

[Rhys glances across at Hux, then reaches for the popcorn bag to see if there's any left.]

This was fun. We should do it again.

Re: [Spam]

[worstweasley]

[Try being the only child of a person like that. Hux nods in agreement, before getting up off the floor to go reset the projector back into its original casing. There's still a handful of popcorn left in the bag.]

Not the same one again, but...

[Yes. He did have fun. Shame he can't look Rhys in the eye when admitting that]
