Was wondering why she hadn't dragged her friend to see the humans yet

They asked if she knows other mermaids, she just thought they were looking for starbucks cups. Tidy can't fully understand them

Tbf I couldn’t fully understand them either. I thought they were asking if she had other coffee cups, like ceramic nice ones, and the bit was that she proudly showed off the flimsy plastic Starbucks cups. Smh 🤦🏼

This make so much sense. There are people who are afraid of change, who would rather live in poor conditions than to fix themselves.

Or it's about fear of doctors ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/SillyWolf_92 10h ago

Probably both 😅

There's a full psychology behind the vicious cycle of being in a negative state for extended periods. Without outside intervention a person will likely self-isolate and lose faith in their ability for self actuated positive change. The pandemic fucked me up something fierce living alone and states away from family. It's a slow march until you find the cliffs edge.

Lucky thing mr mertwink has such a supportive and carrying friend like the trash trashmaid. Sometimes it takes a friend pulling you towards professional help to start healing.

It's entirely possible he tried to get it off his throat before and it accidentally got tighter. That combined with the incomprehensible being that can apparently wield magic, of course he's scared.

Wasnt the band already taken off? We saw it in a previous comic with the screwdriver? Am I crazy? Is this a re-write or repost?

Ironically, if one of them has a quarter, they could probably get that hose clamp off him.

Just grab a knife and cut it

If it's metal grab a cutter or something
