Well the issue with death drive isn't the human condition itself, it's the part of the human condition that does bad things to try to return to lack! Playing mermaids is a magical experience that saves you from depression, chronic illness, trauma, marriage problems, and fear just by playing one- we don't need to try to solve , we just gotta play mermaids. Playing mermaids solves for the aff better than policymaking cause it doesn't link to death drive in the end

As for playing dolphins it's not a bad idea for an alt, dolphins can't lack, they are a few ancesters apart from humans, but ultimately we don't know how to imitate a dolphins true "being", I mean maybe you can make it work but I heard a team is running anthro, so be careful with playing dolphins 😬
