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.

“Why do asexuals write and draw the best porn?” They wonder.
“Artemis’s hands do not shake when she fires her bow; she will never hunt for food to fill her belly, for she does not hunger herself,” we tell them.
Every problem with S4 stems from the decision to make The Boys a 5 Season show, making the writers have to riff for the majority of the season. If they just stayed on schedule all the weird filler would’ve been cut and we’d be gearing up for the series finale.
🚀Hughie🚀
Hughie’s honestly such a lovable character in my opinion, so seeing him get to shoot up with Temp V was so pleasureful for me.
While the first episode establishes he lost his girlfriend in an instant from A-Train running through her, he was left holding her severed hands on the sidewalk. He had been searching for a way from that point on to find out how to grab the people he cares about and instantaneously escape from danger.
This is where teleportation comes in. He’s capable of teleporting himself or anyone he’s holding onto away from a crisis, the same way he couldn’t do for Robin. He uses this to aid Butcher in Russia, Annie from Soldier Boy, and even Mindstorm that one time. In every scenario he’s squeamish while being made to fight, and instead opts to blink in and out, in a useful manner. His ability is inherently complimentary to another fighter, or at least his application of it is.
While he forgoes injecting himself with Temp V to help Annie fight in the S3 finale due to the lethal health effects of another dose, his newfound “ability” is supporting his significant other while she kicks ass.
👤Hugh Sr.👤
Hughie’s father had a minor role, and yet, analyzing his ability provides more clarification on the nature of Compound V’s effects on individuals.
After being resuscitated from brain death by Compound V, he was initially fine with no changes, until he discovered his ability to phase through solid objects. He walked through hospital walls, cutting through patients in a gory body horror scenario. As he states, his wife Daphne abandoned him with their child son, walking through Hugh Sr. like he didn’t even exist to her. He is now capable of mimicking the person who hurt him most, much like Butcher.
In the case of Maverick, Andre, and kind of Ryan, they all match their specific abilities of their supe fathers exactly. This is because they were all babies when they were injected/born with V. This may imply that had Hugh been injected and gained intangibility, and then had Hughie injected as a baby, Hughie would have mimicked Hugh instead of developing his own ability.
To make matters potentially even more fascinating, intangibility and teleportation aren’t entirely unrelated powers. Both include averting danger by supernatural escape means. While both can escape harm, Hughie can blink away from danger, while Hugh is forced to trudge through solid terrain, much like how when Daphne left, he was forced to endure the pain of her leaving. However, when Robin died, Hughie had to watch as everything ended in the blink of an eye.
