If fairies can exist in both places, I don’t see why mermaids can’t. We know for a fact that mermaids are in NL (both originally and in the Onciverse) but I think they’ll be much more important in NL.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Fairies are the sort of creature I’d expect to see everywhere though, because they feature in many stories and come in many variations.
When you think “mermaid” within the context of possibilities for this show, you think of one specific story, and one specific mermaid, so I’d be more likely to expect that there is one realm inhabited by mermaids.
According to the Peter Pan myth, it is pixie dust which allows children and fairies to fly between worlds. So, fairies would have no need of magic beans to travel between different lands. With mermaids, however, there would have to be an elaborate system of portal-jumping underwater, to allow them to swim between worlds, which seems less likely to me (although mermaids could still be indigenous in different lands). Flying, on the other hand, permits a fairy to escape from the limits of a particular world to travel through space-time to another world (e.g. Tinkerbell travels between Earth and Neverland). Also, according to OUAT, the Blue Fairy is also known as the Blue Star, which suggests that fairies may live somewhere in the Heavens (somewhere between lands) and only come to a particular land when wished upon.

I agree with what you both said; the only mermaid I am interested in seeing is Ariel and since they’ve set up mermaids as being in NL, then I say bring on the red hair! If they have another mermaid in NL interacting with our JR crew, they better be prepared for lots of, “but what about Ariel?!” And with what Slurpeez said: not to mention that Adam’s “great question” to the Tink and Blue question I asked would indicate that they travel between worlds naturally and know each other.

Yes, I must see Ariel at some point! I’d prefer it be in NL, which seems too cool a connection to pass up, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if we see a legit mermaid under the sea in FTL. I just want da little mermaid man (as Sebastian would say). Also, I have long believed (and have become all the more convinced thanks to Adam’s comment) that Tink and Blue are conspiring together for some greater plan. The almost gleeful look Blue had in “The Return” about sending Bae to Victorian London, suggests she knew Peter’s shadow would be searching for lost boys. Blue probably sent her NL counterpart, TInk, to look after Baelfire, and perhaps, to make sure he eventually met Emma and produced Henry.

I agree! I think Blue may be the fairy representative for THO in FTL. Her job was to make sure Bae got away from his father.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The fact that Emma and mm came back through water (lake nostos and the well) makes me think that mermaids could be able to travel to other lands as well though (somehow)

Yes, but that instance required a magical object (e.g. the ashes from the enchanted wardrobe) in order for a water portal to open up in Lake Nosotos. Similarly, whenever Hook’s ship has traveled through an underwater portal, Hook has been in possession of a magic bean. Water alone isn’t enough, otherwise Rumple could have just swum to our world to search for his son (he’s immortal so he wouldn’t have drowned). Same probably goes for mermaids (unless they have their own magic-portal devices).

Yes, but there’s still what August told Emma at the well, about the well and water,
August W. Booth: Water is a very powerful thing. Cultures as old as time have worshiped it. It flows throughout all lands, connecting the entire world. If anything had mystical properties, if anything had magic… well, I’d say it’d be water.Proud Keeper of the Dinglehoppers

The enchanted wood ashes Snow and Emma used are what contained the magic to portal jump, not the water in and of itself. I’m 99.99% sure that if getting to A Land Without Magic were as simple as taking a swim in Lake Nosots that Rumple would have done so. And since he didn’t have a bean or wardrobe ashes, he created the Dark Curse to be able to travel from the EF to our world. So, I’m fairly confident that water in and of itself (even the magic water of Lake Nostos) is important but not sufficient to realm jump. Whether one is a mermaid or anyone else, she or he would still require the addition of a realm-creating device to travel through water to another realm. So, if mermaids did travel through underwater portals, they would need some sort of additional magic (be it beans or some yet unexplored object).
