THE LOVERS
NSFWMarked NSFW for gore and light nudity.
Been getting recommended this on my music-and-animation feed and thought I’d share if people haven’t seen it.
QUICKEDIT: sorry I didn’t even realize it was age-restricted. Hopefully those with NSFW turned on already have a good account to view it. My bad.

That conjunction of horror and deep emotional connection was stunningly amazing! I thought mermaids should be dipnoan, though…
If you mean that they’d be freshwater, a lot of fiction ignores the difficulty of transitioning between saltwater and freshwater. The thing that bothered me more is how they’re able to speak through the water and glass of the aquarium.
Well, I rather mean that they should be able to breathe both water and air, as they have both gills and lungs, but this mermaid was visibly suffocating in the air. And that ability to speak through the water and glass is a telepathic connection for sure! It was somehow established after that mermaid’s bite. And it even happens again at 12:35.
Stumbled across an official Vimeo upload, thought I’d drop that here :)
Ooh, many thanks! I’ll try changing the URL and hope I don’t break anything 🤞
That was fantastic… thank you for sharing

I got recommended this the other day. Idk why the algorithm has been on point lately (probably tech bros trying to distract everyone) but this was a very nice animation/story. Beautiful work.
