mastodon - Collegamento all'originale
<img class=" title=":fediverse:"/> Fediverse community experiment (2): Here are four storyboarded versions of my favourites final panel ideas! Thank you all for participating ❤️ !
I'll color and polish my fav somewhere next week. What's your favorite one? (↓ Poll in the replies.)
Version A. A webcomic storyboard in four panels, black and white and sketchy: Panel 1: A cute mermaid sings, eyes closed, with a melancholy expression, sitting on a rock in the middle of the ocean. She plays a small harp. Panel 2: Aerial view: many boats gather, forming a circle around the mermaid, drawn in by her performance. Panel 3: The mermaid bows modestly and says "Thank you" to the enthusiastic applause of the sailors on the boats, who give her a standing ovation. Panel 4. The mermaid now yell angrily to the sailors "...And now that I've got your attention, stop polluting our waters and take your trash with you!". In the foreground little fish, crab, and shark are throwing trash back to the boats.
Version B. (same, for panel 1 to 3) Panel 4. It's night time undersea, and the little mermaid swim back to her home, in front of the house with the door open, her father with a trident "Good grief! Look at the time! Go do your homework, you're not going to find a real job playing the harp!"
Version C. (same, for panel 1 to 3) Panel 4. Far away the group of boats around the mermaid (still clapping), a reverse mermaid with a harp is also on a rock, she looks sadly to the success of the mermaid "I don't get it, what's she got that I don't?" and has a single little fish clapping in front of her.
Version D. Panel 4. The little mermaid hold a Qr code, send a little heart to the audience and wink, and has a bell on hanging on her finger. She say to the sailors: "Get merch in my CrabBubble store, join my PearlTreon, and follow me! @thevoiceofthesea_real! Hit the shell...err...the bell for notifications! And don't forget, my album is out now scan the Qr code to get it!" In the foreground two crab are holding a case with mug, shirt, and CD boxes.

Another possibility with option B would be to have King Neptune commenting along the lines of “Good Grief! Look at the time. And what are your plans for monetizing this anyway!?"

the version C is great but I miss the point, until I read the poll description.

@Karel_Kosnar It happened to my wife too, who wasn't familiar with the reverse mermaid meme. But it was still working a bit for her as she got "the content creator envying another one while having blind spot on the reason of her own unsuccessfulness". Anyway, this one is a bit cruel and on the physic appearance of content creator, I personally had a good laugh because it's unexpected, because I also love reverse mermaid meme, but the deep message is bitter even if it is a sad part of reality.

@Karel_Kosnar C also losing the poll is just adding insult to injury. Poor losing heroine, hope she gets her own spinoff. She'll need blue fins. 🫠

I like them all but I think the moral in "stop polluting" is too individual: there is probably a dwarf citadel nearby that refines metal and dumps megatons of toxic mithril-oxide contaminated dirt into the sea. The fishers on the small boats are probably not the problem.

@tuxmain hehe, right; but it's the one she can reach, so better this than nothing I guess. 😊

Voting for "Reverse Mermaid" just because of the title without even looking at the panels.

I would rather not choose between them... but the 4th set made me smile 🙂 (It must be so boring for YouTubers - "don't forget to like, subscribe, donate your blood, blah blah blah"...)

We should be able to do "weighted polls" for this kind of votes ^^

My sort is the following:
- (4) This is the one that made me laugh the most 😀 Here, she is kind of proud and "managing" herself. Also, I like the mix of older times with modern times, and the real QR code is too neat ^^ The bell could really be "a shell" instead of saying "shell, uh bell"

- (2) This is my second one, for amusement too, I like @ygor ’s suggestion to argue with dad, that makes her more firm

[1/2]

In "Go do your homework," it's not a harp. It's a lyre.

Very truly yours,

3 puis 2 dans un contexte général ou d'humour, 1 dans un contexte militant, 4 s'il y a un contexte de moquerie des réseaux sociaux.
Je trouve que 1 et 4 tombent un peu à plat (trop classiques ?) sans contexte particulier, tandis que 2 et 3 ont un meilleur effet de surprise donc fonctionnent mal comme "simple humour".

beautiful work! The “take your trash with you” version really resonates, especially ftom a decolonization perspective. And the “peartreon” one does as a statement against both big tech and late stage capitalism.

They're all good, but give me different feelings.

A: Self-righteous "message" - "a very special episode"

B: Really feel empathy with this one. Bit sad.

C: Funny. Kind of old. But leaves a bad taste. I guess there's a faint "incel" / "misogyny" vibe?

D: My fav, I think. Appeals to my X-er cynicism about commerce directly.

I like them all, for different reasons.

Fingers. Pas de bras, pas d'audimat.
