Sebastion: Ariel listen to me
The human world is a mess
life under the sea is better than anything they got up there

…
Sebastion: And besides, you’re a young girl who has been forced into a premature fame by your royal heritage, so it’s extra important that you, of all people, don’t compromise this kingdoms secrecy nor sovereignty by exposing our ‘mythical’ existence to humans, who we can all agree are absolutely monstrous when facing something they don’t understand.

Growing up, I thought Disney’s The Little Mermaid was about Ursula. I thought the movie, though oddly focused on that emaciated red-headed hoarder*, was actually a film about a business-savvy octopus lady’s dream of political conquest, and the unfair regulations she was forced to overcome. **

*(This isn’t thin shaming so much as it is a response to Ariel’s most famous frame, in which she is grotesquely disproportionate. This is compared to the rest of the movie, where the animators did not render her a bobble head).
