Ariel in Dreamlight Valley

[buckmana]

Ariel appears as a character you can befriend in this game.

Meeting Ariel for the first time.


Ariel's coral palace

This is her ingame home.

Ariel and WALL-E are friends and trade collectibles


For some reason, Ursula is lurking nearby.......


They seem to have made Ariel's menu requirements like that in the tv series, she'll only order vegetable based food.
I am curious if that makes Ariel a canon vegetarian now.

Ariel also love gooseberry and vegetable food. I remember in the dvd of the third movie in the extra that Ariel favorites food is strawberries.

Someday I want to try a real seaweed pizza.

But not sure if this is a food that exists outside the tv series.

How would you make a pizza without cheese?

[yougottaloveariel]

Vegan Pizza generally does not have cheese.

[buckmana]

Not even soy cheese or some other plant based cheese?

Ooh I love that Ariel is vegetarian! That would be fantastic if she is canonically vegetarian! I noticed in TLM that even before Sebastian needed to hide under the food cover that she doesn’t eat the meal she’s given since it’s stuffed crab (though that could be for multiple reasons along eith being vegetarian).
Ooh I got a pic of Ariel’s food during the dinner scene! It doesn’t look like there’s crab there (tho I could be wrong)!

[buckmana]

It's been a few months now and that initial premise is correct.
Each time Ariel orders a meal, it's always vegetarian.
Since the non-vegetarian dishes are always made with fish or seafood, that is why she could never order them to eat.

From memory, in that scene, Ariel only eats the side garnishes that came with the meal, not the main course.
The side garnishes being plants.

I think it's interesting that they established Ariel as a vegetarian long before that diet was commonly known.
I wonder if they've ever had other Disney characters who are also canon vegetarians?

I love the new Ariel's Coral Palace!

For the food, I see that in the photo from the film Ariel has lemons and salad on her plate, and I think she also has eggs, but I'm not sure.

[buckmana]

In the game, she will order foods made with eggs and milk, so Ariel isn't a vegan.

In the movie, I think Ariel's dish didn't have a crab on it like the others, hence why Sebastian was able to scurry onto it and hide in plain sight.

I was dismayed to learn of these activities in Dreamlight Valley:
Ariel Training Role Manual
I found this quite disturbing and disconcerting.

Why in the world would these people want to turn Ariel into a fish hunting assistant?
To be candidly and brutally honest, I think they're just exploring video game cruelty potential!

For the record, the Dev team were smart, you are not supposed to be able to assign Ariel this role. but there was a window of opportunity when the inhibition was temporarily disabled and it looks these players took full advantage of that to make Ariel do something she should not and is not allowed to!

I have seen conflicts like this before, players wanting to express their meatarian diet tendencies virtually and they are often quite aggressive about doing this virtually,
Probably a week or two ago, someone was asking for a animal slaughtering farm to provide meat for cooking in meals.
Think about that in the context of how inappropriate that would be in a G-rated Disney game.

Currently, all you can cook is fish, there is no land animal meat dishes.
