rip if you use headphones bc I’m fucking Loud but here it is for those who wanted it. he’s mad because he wants to get outside
i have lived my whole life through a screen. starting from being young i was never part of the popular crowd and always the odd one out, but saying that makes me feel too isolated. i wasn’t the odd one out of any group because everything was more blurry then. the gray in a black and white world. it started around fourth grade. social media, club penguin, poptropica, graal. all parts of my life that made me who i am. the isolated, lonely, introvert. not that it’s always bad. i never need to take “space” for myself since i always have it ready and available.
this experience of building my friendships online made me a more open person, more trusting. i would hear of the scary old men, but if slenderwolf from michigan said he was sixteen, he had to be sixteen right? who would want to relive being sixteen.
the friendships formed and now i’m addicted. i spend time online, waiting for my friends who so deeply care about me to pop on and say hello. but what’s different now is that they do care. so, very much. and i care about them. but that’s enough rambling.
this post was just to vent out my thoughts. i’m feeling lonely, since my phone hasn’t buzzed in a few hours.

Little Mermaid Headcanon
Alright, so here’s my theory.
(And I don’t know if it’s been explored before, so don’t sue me)
In the Little Mermaid the villain is Ursula, and well yeah, of course she is. She manipulates Ariel to try and get the power of all the seas and goes total psycho on everyone. However, as we all well know, villains don’t always start so… villain-y.
My theory? That Ursula used to be a human. We’ve seen her human in the movie.
And I firmly believe that this is what she used to look like. Probably a long time ago, as even Ursula claims it has been a long time and she’s “wasted away”.
But beyond this, she is the ONLY character in the (first) Little Mermaid movie that isn’t a mermaid or merman, but can live underwater. So how and why did she become the half octopus hybrid witch we know and love her as, you ask?
Well, during Ursula’s hit number, she goes on about how men don’t care what women have to say, woman are silent and the only things men want from them are their looks.
Which leads to the next part of the theory.
Ursula was a young, beautiful (evidenced by her human form) woman who was intelligent, bright, and outspoken. She was someone who wouldn’t be put down. And men didn’t like her. She had IDEAS. Oh gosh, imagine that. Because if you look at the entire idea of Ariel, all female characters who don’t conform to this idealized expression of silence and oppression, they’re looked upon poorly. Even Ariel. She found love, only when she could no longer talk.
That’s right Ariel, just nod and smile. You’re halfway there.
Maybe Ursula had fallen in love with someone, maybe she didn’t care about trivial things like boys. Either way she would have been shunned because of her intelligence and curiosity. Similar to Ariel. Although Ariel wasn’t shunned to such an extreme extent, the similarities could be drawn. And it was in this shunning that Ursula got called a witch. Witches have been a common insult for centuries, and with the ships and castles of Ariel’s movie, it isn’t hard to suggest that these insults were prevalent at this time as well.
So Ursula was called a witch.
Now Ursula, is a bright and intelligent young woman. She is hated by everyone for what she should be praised for, so why not dabble in the dark arts a bit? They honestly couldn’t think worse of her.
And with such a cold heart, Ursula turned herself into the hybrid we see in the movie. She left the humans and moved into the sea, the only place that was as cold as her own heart had grown.
Then we’ve come full circle. A long time later, Ariel comes around. Ursula uses her, sure. She tries to take her voice, yeah. But that never had an impact on the humans viewing Ariel. Because despite Ursula’s flaws, she didn’t LIE. The men didn’t need Ariel to speak, didn’t need her to have opinions, they just wanted her pretty face.
So Ursula had been a human. A bright and intelligent, curious human, who was shunned for these wonderful attributes. She was called a witch, and soon became one. She wallowed in the ocean for probably decades, if not centuries, until along came Ariel. And yeah, she used Ariel to steal power from a man. A man who was oppressing his daughter and wishing she weren’t so outspoken, and bright, and intelligent and curious. Now, I’m not saying that Ursula did what she did for Ariel. She did it for herself.
Ursula isn’t a tale of a power hungry witch. It’s the story of a women scorned, because she dared to love the world as much as a man.
Yeah Ursula, you show ‘em who’s boss.
But that’s not the end. Is it? Nope. Because you thought I forgot. Nope.
Morgana. Ursula’s sister. And I’m going to be real quick about it. They aren’t sisters. Not biologically speaking. They’re coven sisters. They’re both witches, and the one Morgana refers to as their mother, would be the one that taught them both magic. They were both human, but used magic to change themselves into sea witches.
I don’t know who taught them, nor will I claim to. But Morgana’s story is probably very different to Ursula’s. Ursula we see so much more back story and a history can be discerned from this. Morgana is simply spiteful of Ursula. She envies her, and hates her, and wants to be her. Morgana’s story simply seems to be that she wants to be better than Ursula ever was.
But our girl Ursula wasn’t in it to be the best. She just wanted revenge. Revenge for her, and possibly all those others who had been so horribly mistreated for no reason…. well.
…though I love her. I’m not going to give her that much credit. It was probably just for herself. She is a Disney villain after all. We can’t taint her with too much kindness. She would never forgive us.
