Tsippi - Probably Trans But Who Cares.

The trauma bit, not the onion bit.

the aquamarine au

Info about au below (or at least what i have so far)

-based on the 2006 move Aquamarine, a teen romcom about two teenage girls meeting a mermaid and helping her find love to achieve their wish of one of them not moving away (its my childhood). this au takes basic plot ideas from the movie but with major changes

Jimmy and Joel are both 17. Jimmy's family owns a small, local beach resort where he also lives. Joel lives next door and they're basically attached at the hip and spend all their time at the resort. It's tense between them because Joel is moving far away by the end of the summer.

Scar is 19. He's been working at the beach as a lifeguard since he was in high school. Local sweetheart, everybody loves him. Seems like he sucks at his job, but nothing wrong ever really happens on his shift. Known flrt.

Grian is an unknown age but closer to Scar than Jimmy and Joel. I'm still working out his part. He's a mermaid who ran away from home. The Watchers are a group who protect mermaid pods but have very strict rules and archaic views; such as there is no such thing as love and have arranged a marriage for Grian he doesn't want (The Watchers in this au are less Mega Evil and more Parents Who Don't Understand and Kind Of Suck). He runs away to prove love exists. In doing so, getting into a major fight with his sister.

Grian gets caught in a storm and washes up into the pool of the beach resort, where Jimmy and Joel find him. They are SUPER cautious at first, but immediately offer to help him find true love when Grian tells them that helping a mermaid grants them a wish. They're hoping to use the wish to make it so Joel's family doesn't move away.

Grian is a bit oblivious to the human world, but even more so to the concept of love, because it is not common in the mer world. This leads Grian to believe anyone can love you with a bat of an eyelash, which leads him to try to woo the first interesting person who catches his eyes; aka Scar. When it doesn't immediately work, he's actually quite pissed off and thinks its Scar's fault for not falling in love with him. Jimmy and Joel proceed to make a plan to match the two together because Scar is so nice and probably the only person willing to give this weird and off putting mermaid a chance.

Unlike the movie, which takes place over a couple days, this au takes place over the course of a month or two, so there is even more chemistry between the cast. Hijinks and cringey romcom shenanigans ensue.

The ending is very different from the movie (im still thinking about it i dont have a lot for this au please go watch Aquamarine tho its my childhood and i love it)

uhhhhh IDK WHO IS GOOD FOR A CECILLIA CHARACTER. ok in the movie theres a character named cecillia shes the typical mean girl trying to stop the main characters from getting together. i wanna put someone in this role bc shes iconic and has funny moments im inspired by but im having a hard time thinking of someone who fits the role. any ideas for this or any thoughts at all are welcome, this au is for fun!!!

IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST

OR ‘PEAKED’

BUT PIQUED

‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’

THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA

MOTHER THIS IS NOT HEALTHY

Zedaphstropod was not an unwelcome guest at Zed's base by any means. The little guy had proven incredibly helpful for redstone, company, but mostly science experiments.

'Alright, friend,' Zedaph called from the end of the maze he was sending his snail through. 'You are to start your journey in three... Two... Oh my goodness you're an excited little snail!' Zedaph laughed as Zedaphstropod started heading through the maze, happily cutting around corners to reach Zed. And, by all accounts, taking the intended route.

Until, with an excited whoop, Zedaphstropod burst through the glass ceiling and into Zedaph's face.

Zedaph was slain by Zedaphstropod.

'xB! xB! Sweetface come quick I have a snail!' Keralis exclaimed as xB landed in his base. He grabbed his friend's hand, pulling him along. With a giggle, xB followed.

'A snail? What kind of snail?'

'A Papa K snail! With a huge shocked face and big, beautiful eyes! You need to see him!'

The two continued through Keralis's palm tree forest, all the way to the yacht. Where a certain shocked snail was creeping towards them.

'See? My snail! Look into his eyes and tell me he's not the most adorable snail in Hermitcraft!' Keralis crouched down to the snail's height, waving him over. 'Papa Snail! Papa Snail! Come to Keralis!' The snail obeyed. 'Look, xB! He loves me! He wants to be with his favourite Papa K and no, Papa Snail! Not in the water! You have so much to live for!' Keralis coughed, choking as his poor, poor snail drowned. xB dove into the water, trying to grab it and bring him to safety.

Keralis drowned

'Keralis?!' xB swam up to the surface, tail keeping him afloat as he looked out at where his friend now definitely wasn't. 'Did the snail kill you? Did you drown with him?'

'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!' Startled by Hypno's yell, xB yelped, turning to see him already far in the distance. But a black shelled snail with fluffy blond hair and a black bandanna was zooming along the shore in his place. xB only giggled more, realising.

Hey y'all. It's International Holocaust Awareness day Both of these books changed me. Consider reading them or please share for someone else who might. It's never a bad thing to learn more.

Inside the Gas Chambers: Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz by Slomo Venezia This is one of the only books I've found that touches on the living conditions and viewpoint of a Jew from Greece. Reading it, the author felt like a friend. It was horrifying.

Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide this book explained people were taught to completely separate Jews from being human in people's minds in the years leading up to the Holocaust- especially in the medical field. It has interviews with some of the doctors who did these things. The site for the books also has an archive of images, films, objects, publications, recorded sounds and documents. You can find information on many communities. Thank you
