 Seaglass (Webcomic)
comment
Seaglass is a Space Opera webcomic by Valdrick Vile and a love letter to Studio TRIGGER (among other inspirations). It follows the exploits of Victor Imai, a space pirate with more guts than sense. Along with his (only) crewmate and boyfriend, Glen, he pursues a mythical item known only as "Seaglass". Their search grows more complex with the arrival of cyborgs, mermaids, and all manner of competition for Seaglass itself.As of May 2020, three arcs (Lily Crown, Sea Dragon, and The Abyss) are complete. Seaglass can be read here.As of July 2022, Seaglass as we know it is a Dead Fic- a Continuity Reboot of the setting known as Siren Song has begun however and can be read here.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Zig-Zagged- while the overall tone is still initially light, references are made to the declining birth rates of the world and the prologue alludes to societal transphobia as a theme (something which was nearly absent in Seaglass despite its overwhelmingly LGBT+ cast).

True Love's Kiss
 Seaglass (Webcomic) / int_1777836c
comment
True Love's Kiss: Believed by Victor to be what cured his temporary status as a mermaid; it's unclear whether this is true or just coincidence. It's revealed as of #135 that this is false- anyone who has consumed mermaid's flesh can cause a incomplete transformation to revert.

The Reveal
 Seaglass (Webcomic) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: Several, often in rapid succession. Victor will become a mermaid if he doesn't obtain Seaglass. Mermaids are killed and eaten by the royal families for longevity- including Glen's. This isn't space- it's an alien ocean. Copper, Elba's lost love interest, is (most likely) Victor.

Took the Wife's Name: Lotse was expected to take his arranged fiancé Klara's last name of "Mondlicht" over his own last name "Geist" because Klara is a higher ranking member of society than him (being a woman and the high priestess to boot).

Our Mermaids Are Different
 Seaglass (Webcomic) / int_7f152e56
comment
Our Mermaids Are Different: Mermaids appear to be only vaguely humanoid, giant creatures that inhabit space. Cutting a mermaid's hair is the key to obtaining Seaglass, and consuming mermaid flesh grants immortality. They also originate from genetic experimentation on humans.

Continuity Reboot: Of Seaglass- they share a protagonist (Victor Imai) and themes/locations, but otherwise differ. As stated by the author in Siren Song's prologue, Seaglass and Siren Song are companion pieces to each other, not continuations.

Shout-Out
 Seaglass (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The comic's description notably mentions Victor and his crew "[making] the impossible possible". Sylvain refers to the inner workings of Victor's mind being an enigma. The underlying plot of Seaglass (essentially) follows The Little Mermaid's original plot. A mermaid ( Victor) seeks to remain human in order to stay with a prince. Notably, the Daughters of Air also draw their name from the spirits of the original fairytale.

Cast Full of Gay: Most, if not all, of the main cast are LGBT- Victor is bisexual and transgender, Glen is bisexual, Elba is bisexual, Orla is asexual, Calder is transgender and mlm, Mercury is transgender, and Kiyo is ambiguous but probably bisexual.
