The Evermore Grimoire: Mermaids of the Seven Seas

The Atlantic Mermaids are a pod of mermaids who live in the stormy seas of the Atlantic Ocean and just like the Arctic Mermaids, have done so for centuries. They have beautiful tails that reflect the deep blue tones of the ocean they call home, and wear a variety of headpieces (such as tiara’s, crowns and diadems) made of shells found on the seabed. Harnessed with the power of Atmokinesis, the Atlantic Mermaids can conjure up a ferocious storm in an instant if anyone dares to underestimate them. Thus making the Atlantic Ocean a trecherous sea to venture in. They’re also incredibly loyal to their own kind, but only when it suits them. During the war between Mermaids and Mermen, the Atlantic Mermaids were the ‘saving grace’ thanks to their Queen who rallied together every member in the pod and created one the most brutal storms the Atlantic Ocean had ever seen. Despite the storm ‘turning the tide’ in the war, it also came at a great cost that changed the hierarchy within every mermaid pod forever. Including the relations within their own pod, resulting in some mermaids breaking away and forming a new pod elsewhere in the ocean. In spite of everything, these mermaids are  considered the most powerful because if another war ever arose their and loyalty would be instrumental in the survival of all Merfolk as well as their place within the magical world.

Analyzing The Abilities of Characters From The Boys Pt. XVIII

🧨 Ryan Butcher🧨

An under-analyzed character from The Boys cast, Ryan is the son of The Homelander. Being the first official natural-born superhuman, I find it curious that Ryan was never injected with compound V. Even though none of the babies could have consented to being shot up with a potentially lethal drug, Ryan having a genomic affinity for world shattering power forms the basis of any Evil Superman story you can think of.

Ryan being the first, and really the only one of his kind, creates this distance between him and the other Supes. None of them chose this life, but Ryan was raised with powers he never got to explore nor understand, while he was sequestered away under the protection of Becca. Homelander’s reaction to this lack of self realization is heartbreaking to me, specifically because, unlike Homelander, Ryan was raised a human instead of an experiment. I find it almost insulting that Vought essentially propped Ryan up to have the exact backstory they fabricated for “John”: a quiet life in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, à la Clark Kent’s origin story.

Ryan being this cookie cutter doppelgänger of his father creates this dynamic of showing the audience the hero Homelander could have been had he been raised by people instead of maniacal scientists in a lab. Additionally, it provides a bitter form of clarity on the nature of corruption. Given the circumstances that John went through, wouldn’t any and every baby grow up to be exactly like him? You can try to explain that you’re special or you’re different, but without any form of support system or human socialization, and between being baked alive and probed beginning at infancy, I doubt most people would be capable of maintaining their humanity.

I pray that Ryan is able to truly internalize that the deaths of Becca, the stunt actor, and even Grace weren’t truly his fault. I mean, if someone gave you superhuman strength as a preteen wouldn’t you have an alarmingly high body count by now? If you ask me, the kid’s doing good, all things considered…

I think the most valuable lesson you should take away from his character is the concept of chance. Anyone, given the circumstance, could have been either John or Ryan. Ryan has the *chance* his father didn’t to be a real hero, but whether he chooses power or mercy, is entirely up to chance.

*Butcher’s influence on Ryan is fascinating to me because, he’s a horrible role model. Butcher has just as horrible tendencies and selfish whims as Homelander, and yet, in Ryan’s eyes, is the more humane of the two purely because he’s just some guy. Now that Butcher can rival the strength of Homelander, and Ryan knows everything his father’s done, only time will tell how Ryan will begin to unpack his new perspective on Billy.*
