My plan also has us investigating the Ruined Garment that OOC we know is Copper as well as the Blue Skin that we painted for any potential magical properties that they may have. Powerofmind already stated that regular pieces of copper found on the ocean floor are mostly green and unusable yet the armor managed to remain mostly intact. So there may be some protection on it (potentially runes, but I doubt it would that easy).
The Blue Skin is to create a coat for Seski and may have properties of it's own( because really, when has anything Gaerig made not be magic?)
My plan also has the most growth out of all the plans so that we can get that -1 pop mod into the positives to get DE more easily. This is the equation for how much DE we can get per Fear Action
(Income per Vehemence = 4*[(12+[Fear*2]+Pop Modifier)/10]
So having a higher Pop mod means more more DE, more chances to cause Fear without scaring people away and if we continue to attack outside sources like Attrouska's village, we can more easily make cap each turn with less DE input and thus have more DE to spend on rituals, monster creation, all sorts of things.
Potential but unconfirmed side effects means that if we can help push long enough, the villages could become overcrowded in which case two things can happen, we fulfill our obligation as a Fear God and cut down the numbers for likely Glut, or we push them to create more villages thus more possible Fear Sources.
Having more Growth could also means that people are happy and more willing to put up with Gaerig's demands like building a Temple for several years when they see the benefit of listening to her.
Well, I desperately want monsters, but I don't think your plan actually provides them. It just tosses a bit of aspect of humanity into the sea pixies, and let's be real, that is not a goddamn monster. It's a random fun animal that floats around our territory being cute and useless. When I say I want a monster I want something that will either be a cool monster that might eventually ascend, or a creature race that will eventually be useful for something without a dozen modifications, or both in one go. I don't want to be tacking on aspects to the pixies forever in some horrible sunk cost fallacy situation.
Long story short, this is just about the last demispirit I am interested in making for quite some time. It does what we absolutely need to have happen for a decent aquatic conversion and makes sure we will actually have good reason to pick up more and more water traits. Once the temple is up it should be easy to pop out divine beasts due to having the ambrosia to make them worthwhile. We will also be able to make a monster next time we build up the sustenance.
Ultimately I might have considered your plan if it had a real monster, rather than a distraction pixie change, but I think future sea people is far more interesting than cosmetic octopi.

*breathes deeply the scent of do it later*
Sure, never mind the fact that the only scource of octopus we have is 4 istart. Have to start somewhere.
Monater is monster is monster. How else are we to get the different animal aspect we need to get truly horrifying monsters? How else are we to start on the path toward Chimera if we don't try to produce at least some sort of monster as often as we can?

Well, there are ways to create fun and terrifying monsters without Animal or Chimeric Aspects.
Basalisk, Kraken and Island Turtle are all templates that are easily available with just a few traits, and Gaerig already has the prerequisites to make one hell of a Moon Fey with Capricious One and all of the Moons/Nox Arcana. True, Chimera makes it a lot easier to get a great variety in offspring, but it's far from the only path to fun.
Also, to answer your question of how we get Chimera without bedding animals, the easiest answer is "Rituals".

Yeah, I know what you mean, however you have to admit it's the easiest and most useful ones, since it provides us with the ability to fuse animal aspects, which all can be rather useful and not only for making monsters,
I mean just look at the Walrus Aspect for example which permanently increases our Sustance,
If we had that we could take more actions per turn without risking a loss of control when it drops to low and not to mention how we could use more Sustance when creating children/monsters/Divine creatures, resulting in greater quality creations
Not a very good example I think, since the main limiter on Sustenance is the efficacy of conversion from ambrosia, and our ability to retain ambrosia. It does help by basically giving us an additional point of ambrosia store I suppose, but it also makes it harder for us to retain enough ambrosia for divine actions because we would be spending and eating more.
However:
-Crustacean - Increased Wound Threshold means higher effective Avatar for the purpose of resisting damage. At Avatar 9, Crustacean means functionally Immune to mortals with Conventional Weaponry, as we would remove half avatar(4) and then the crustacean bonus. It also means losing less sustenance when we get in a fight, which is nice, but rareish.
-Octopus - Innate shapeshifting may enable the Shapeshifter Avatar at last...and more importantly, shapeshifting is an important trait to have for a Chimera to avoid mutations that make it nonfunctional, such as if we're breeding chimeras.
-Owl - Flight, and the ability to sneak attack peers. But mostly the ability to breed flight.
-Humanity - Intelligent Monster package. Still evil, but smart.

If we want more Monsters, Motherhood is a much better Trait than Walrus.
It reduces the cost of random Traits by 25% and allows us to pick a specific Free Trait for the Ur-Spawn rather than a random one.

It reduces the costs of breeding specific Traits into offspring and IIRC also unlocks human-base Monsters.
Since a significant amount of voters want both of those, Omegahugger approves.
Look, we just have to run the Lawmaker Raid until Spirit of Motherhood drops. It might take a few hundred tries, but the set bonus will be worth it!We're the bad guy, aren't we?

I'm only favorable to (eventually) acquiring the Aspects of the Owl and the Octopus, which are respectively the mysterious creatures of the night and the depths, and, honestly, much more refined than the other two choices.
I don't feel either Walrus or Crustacean properly embody the essence of Lady Gearig of the Endless Waters, Night Mother and God Empress of Niogg

The politically correct term for that is "morally challenged". It is not nice to judge people because they wipe a few villages off the map. Poor Gearig just doesn't know any better.We're the bad guy, aren't we?

This year you put a great deal of energy into your blessings of the people, and even choose to inspire a few of them to greater things. One of them, the clever person from before, garners the blessings of both you and Saiga, traveling out across the sea once more. You grant him some knowledge of the stars as well, so he might not lose his way. Another you take for yourself, a silver man with a sharp tongue and quick wit, providing you some pleasure.
As you're granting dreams and visions of clever ideas and the meaning of the stars, one of them is given to Seski. The following day, your little girl disappears from your shrine, so you follow after her and catch her, pack brimming with her favorite belongings and a good deal of stolen venison. "I want to go see the birdy again, mama," she says, eyes dreadfully large and pleading. "I can walk myself, now!"
You acquiesce, knowing she's old enough to make the trip easily and clever enough to avoid any trouble. Only, when you visit Saitev yourself, she hadn't stayed to wait for you! Saitev laughs uproariously, of course. "The little one is smart, she is," he tells you. "Doubled back into the woods after sneaking more food and furs, dragging one of my younger hunters off for an adventure. Just like her difficult mother, hmm?"
But... Seski! She's still only 11 years old and such a good girl, dragging off a boy on a grand adventure... Where could she have gotten that idea from? You are interrupted from your musing by the crow once more. "I have seen what you will ask me, as well. A word of advice," he warns. "There will be much trouble and tiring if you wish to continue on this path, Gaerig of the Night. The time for what you wish is not yet right."
You harrumph and storm back to your village to blow off steam, riling up the waters, trying to make music like Seski and failing terribly when a few poor boatsmen keep hollering as you toss them to and fro. You change the nature of things as well, reforming Obsidian to something better, and the result, an assortment of fine smokey gems replacing the baser stone, almost lets you forget how upset and worried you are.
You examine the stars and the bones, seeking clues. You visit Keshketev, who shrugs unknowing as he restores his village to it's former glory. You visit Saiga, who sits in mostly mute silence, pondering other things. You even go to visit the horrid fox, who embarrasses you again, and even he does not know where Seski has gone!
In a fugue, you have a shrine put up in Keshketev's basin, hamhandedly 'improving' a few of your other shrines as well. You take and demand of your people, and seeing your strangeness, they comply easily. You slap some charcoal and ultramarine on a fur and the tangled mess just looks more depressing. For hours, you look at the richly blue hide you'd made, contemplating all the nice things you could have made for Seski with it. With the right efforts at the right time, you could have had it stitched together to protect her from the cold, from water...
Eventually, you take to spending inordinate amounts of time with Ghette and pointing out the constellations to him, between drawing the foolhardy and needy into the woods and hidden rocks upon the shore with sweet tones and sweeter forms. You bear a healthy son, and call him Gaelte, Water Man, when your attendants must constantly pull him from the water basin in your shrine.
You miss Seski...
