Neat. What do you think the

Bits are about?
Also, maybe she is doing the macarena?
The real question is What the heck are the orb-boys, really?
Obviously, that's a sentient bean.
I'm pretty sure that's not a bean, but rather Hank with his hat rotated so you can't see "The Navy" printed on it.
I thought it was an egg.
No clue but am certainly curious.
Maybe Erica's bank account bounced after she bought all her bean friends hats.
Yeah, they have a thing for luring men to the shore and then drowning them in the stories I heard. Kind of like a Greek siren, but less nautical and more hands on, I guess.
They are 1:1 copy of Greek Naiads (water nymphs). Sirens are mermaids (fish tails), water nymphs don't have fish tails. That's the only difference as far as I know. Both drown men.
IIRC they're undead, which is different. Specifically, suicides by drowning of jilted lovers, which is so particular it's no wonder they aren't often seen. /s
Hmm... Wikipedia says that's a later version, and in the pagan era they were probably much more Naiad-ish, including some being benign. I don't know if I'd say "copy", as it's hard to say for sure it doesn't extend back to the proto-Indo-European days. There's not much evidence of contact with the Greeks until after the Greek epics were written.
Anyway, hope you appreciate my research content.
I appreciate your research content!
I was going off by the aesthetic alone, I'm not surprised their backstories differ, but it's not really something you think about when you're getting pulled to the bottom. You probably would notice a fish tail though.
