@Kiloku Nice, I think I also read another proposal of her being annoyed or tired of one of her curse (maybe the other was about the boat drowning and she was saying "Oh no! Not again!"). I think this is a nice path for adding drama for a character; but a bit difficult to show it into a single panel for me I think. Thank you for the idea.

"Thank you... But I'm actually just singing for my girlfriend. Could you give us some space?"

The lyre made me think of that.

@Pyves La une est mignonne. Oui, la deux sur l'enshitification et le merch, patreon, follow us, etc... est une proposition populaire avec pas mal de declinaisons. Mais la première fois que j'en lis une version avec un échantillon pour un contenu dérrière un paywall, sympa!
Sur l'IA, j'ai pas encore eu de propositions dans ce sens; dur dur de faire une métaphore mais ça me fait penser qu'il faut absolument que je fasse au moins un comic strip sur ce sujet. Merci pour les idées!

Do a Cantina Band Same song ending, like this:

Mermaid: If you have any requests, shout 'em out! (Play that same song.) All right, same song, here I go.

Against the original story of the sirens, you already have the best twist. The grim Meathook endings ruin, and aren’t really a twist themselves. Perhaps, sailors begin to use her beautiful singing as a beautiful beacon, leading them safely across the ocean. Perhaps, this rock comes to anchor a safe harbor from storms. A collection of rafts and ships tied together in a Waterworld-looking ocean city tying together the world of land and the Siren city below. Who knows?🤔🤨

The viewpoint of the 4th panel is from one of the boats/ships.

You can now clearly see that this boat and seemingly all the others nearby are just ghosts on their ghost ships.

In the background you see the siren on her rock and behind her some actual remains of wrecked ships, making it obvious while the siren is playing for their otherworldly crowd, she's growing it because the living are getting shipwrecked.

Homo Particeps

Some Airplanes in the distant sky, a skyline behind a runway.
In Front of that a plane just taken of seen diagnally from the ground.
Maybe you can see bored or uninspired faces through the windows. Wearing headphones (Probably they are too small, but a big, anonymous plane without any faces seen might convey the contrast even better).
The turbines make visible dirt and maybe you can even see the noise made.

In the front is a leafless tree. With a bird on a branch singing unnoticed.

@holgerpatzelt Yes, this is a popular comment here, with many variations and declinations (Patreon, Merch, paywall for album, follow us message, etc.). It could work, but overall, I don't like making fun of this because I know many young creators already feel ashamed to have to insert this type of commercial segment into their content. I have a feeling that a little joke like this could perpetuate the idea it is a nuisance, whereas I think it is necessity for artists. But thanks for the input!

Je n'ai pas lu toutes les propositions (pardon) mais je prendrais quant à moi un contre-pied complet, du type :

Deux gars mangent à table. Le premier dit "Ce que j'aime chez ce poissonnier, c'est qu'il garantit que l'animal a bien vécu avant qu'il ne finisse dans notre assiette." Le second opine et surenchérit : "Une consommation éthique des animaux de l'océan c'est important."

Ça peut être aussi, même décor :
"Tu avais raison, on a bien fait de prendre la formule spectacle et dîner"
Surenchère : "Tu vois ? J'avais raison. C'est un peu plus cher mais tout le monde est gagnant."

Maybe a different direction: She sits in a baby pool on a big stage in front of a huge audience (unhappy?) and
a) on of the people from a ship is standing backstage counting money with a "contract" in his pocket or
b) Poseidon/Triton/her father (one with a trident) is standing backstage counting money.

@jcolag "The applause are not for her" is a good switch of perspective for a last panel, but unfortunately super complex to setup correctly, especially with a view like on panel 2 where the audience is around at 360°

For the other one, I see the point, but I'm not sure many would get it.

Thanks for the ideas!

If you prefer something darker, the fourth panel shows a girl sitting on the ground in a dirty corner of a dark street, trying to earn money by playing music. The first three panels were all products of her imagination.

You could maybe even place a reference to the little mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen by showing her bleeding feet.

@maxnemerson Yes, already suggested (but no problem) with many variations and declinations (Patreon, Merch, paywall for album, follow us message, etc.). It could work (and channel name sounds fun!) , but I know many young creators already feel ashamed to have to insert this type of segment into their content and I have a feeling that a little joke like this could perpetuate the idea it is a useless meme or nuisance, whereas its proly a necessity for many creator.
