That would still make Ariel his cousin as well. They would just be second cousins.

they're first cousins once removed, just replace "you" with hercules and "your first cousin" with triton, which would make "your 1st cousin once removed" ariel. you could also griffeni's picture and replace second cousins with 1st cousin once removed, as second cousin is just the incorrect terminology

no no no its first cousin once removed, not second cousin
second cousin means you share a great grandparent

1st cousin once removed, second cousin would be hercules' child (if he had one) to ariel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if Hercules had a child, that child would be Ariel's second cousin, as Hercules and Triton are cousins. Hercules is in a different generation to Ariel, so they can't be cousins or second cousins. The best explanation or term would be something along the lines of 'Second Uncle'.

Yes, you're right about Triton. But then, what word would be appropriate to describe Ariel and Herc's relationship? Cousin seems to fit that bill nicely.

People often mis-suse technically to mean "almost" or "close to", or something like that.

Oh I see
The awkward gingers thing was supposed to imply that they are cousins just based on that
but then the next paragraph proves that they are actually cousins beyond the coincidence that they're both awkward and ginger

Let's compromise: Second cousins once removed.

They are separated by one generation, making them once removed, and their closest mutual ancestor is three generations away (father of Zeus and Poseidon), making them second cousins.
