How are mermaids meant to see where they are going? (Was recently talking to small kid and "mermaid" and "bike helmet" was mentioned in same second, which made me think ......)

How are mermaids meant to see where they are going?
Drawing of mermaid, showing that with their head in a straight line with their body they are looking down but moving forwards - so they are looking at a 90 degree angle to the direction they move.
Drawing of mermaid swimming straight into ships anchor, "BONK"
Drawing of mermaid rubbing head and saying "Ow ... Not again ... Never see this in the little mermaid, do you ..."

Are they just meant to get a really sore neck?
Drawing of mermaid with head tilted right back so they can see in the direction they are going, saying "Ow Ow Ow"
Or bewitch a passing sailor?
Drawing of a sailor handing over a bike helmet saying "My love, I have brought you what your heart apparently truly desires, are you sure about this? ... A quest to the bike shop wasn't quite what I was expecting ..."
The mermaid takes it, saying "Yes!!!"
Finally drawing of a centaur holding a pair of trousers and saying "Well no-one can agree how I'm allowed to wear trousers but at least I can see where I'm going."

For those of you wondering how the washing went, this is what I found this morning ......

A washing machine full up with foam and foam on the floor

I was reading these out loud, and now have another Christmas miracle as well 😆 My lovely partner (who is a casual enjoyer of OFMD, not obsessive like myself) starts imagining an AWESOME fanfic! 💖

Screenshot of some plot notes:

Firstmate Jim runs in and says they've seen the warship. Captain Frenchie says "okay let's do Plan A".

(music starts: Ocean colour scene - river boat song)

A succession of shots of Captain Frenchie saying "okay, Plan B", then "okay Plan C, etc etc...

Each shot is in more and more different circumstances.
Eg in one they are on a life raft, and in the next one they are back on the boat but he's dressed in an admiral's uniform.
Towards the end there is a pause after one, and wee John innocently asks "when we get to plan z do we go back to Plan A or what?".

They go all the way round to Plan A and then that carries on and works. Later Stede says "and you do this all of Plan A, very impressive!" and Frenchie has to pretend.

So Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep are the same universe? If the 2 dogs (Blitzer and Gromit) met would they be friends or enemies?
