#I watched the secret of roan inish so many times as a kid

[moonbeamnights]

OUAT AU that I need in my life: Milah the selkie. Because this woman has the most selkie whose human husband stole her seal coat and now she's trapped vibes that you can possibly have without actually being a selkie. And Rumple totally just... Would Do That.

Also the Millian in this AU! Killian going with her to look for the seal skin or finding it himself and giving it back, just helping her find it either way 🥺 The romance!

A List of Mori Movies

Now that’s it’s getting colder, it’s time to find more indoor activities to do. One of my favorite things to do is to put on something peaceful while I sketch, knit, cook, or just cozy up on the couch. So warm up your tea, wrap up in a quilt, and put on a warm movie to get you in the mood for the cold months ahead... 

“Harry Potter” Series

Of course we all know the Harry Potter movies, but they never get old. The first few movies are my favorites, but they’re all fun to watch, especially in the fall. After all, October is the season for witches and warlocks!

“Lord of the Rings” Trilogy

These movies are of course well-known, too, but they always make me full so cozy and adventurous. The characters are memorable, and watching the hobbits in the shire makes me wish I were one of them. I’ll definitely be re-watching this series this fall!

Ghibli Films

Nature is a common theme in all Ghibli films - I don’t think I could name one where the outdoor themes aren’t gorgeous to look at. I love the beginning scenes of “Kiki’s Delivery Service”, the tall trees in “My Neighbor Totoro”, and the lush forests in “Princess Mononoke”. Which one is your favorite? Now is a good time to watch it!

“Wolf Children”

If you haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly recommend it. It’s the story of a woman named Hana and her two children, Ame and Yuki, who can transform into wolves. Hana moves them to the country to hide their strange ability and start a new life, and their life changes quickly as the siblings grow into adolescence. 

“The World of Beatrix Potter and Friends”

Truthfully, I’m not sure where you can still watch these animated short movies, but they were my favorite as a kid. I particularly remember watching “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”, “The Tale of Tom Kitten”, and “The Tailor of Gloucester”. They always ended with scenes of an actress dressed as Beatrix Potter and her dog walking through the country side, painting and drinking tea. 

“Bambi”

Okay, everyone knows this movie. Some people like it, some people don’t, some people find it too sad. But it’s a nostalgic movie with forest scenes that make it a necessity for watching in the fall. “Bambi 2″ and “The Fox and the Hound” are two other good Disney/mori movies.

“The Secret of Kells”

This animated film is a story about the Book of Kells, a boy named Brendan living in a monastery behind walls to prevent viking attacks, and how one day he sneaks away into the real world. In an enchanted forest he meets Aisling, a spirit of the forest, and their adventure to defeat a deity of death Crom Cruach begins. This movie is peaceful, captivating, exciting and perfect for the fall!

“Ernest and Celestine”

In a world where bears and mice are enemies of each other, two become friends after committing a series of crimes together. The content in this movie isn’t exactly mori-themed, but the style of animation and the comical moments will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. 

“Peter Pan”

Everyone knows Peter Pan, and who doesn’t love the idea of being whisked away to another world in the night? The relationship between Peter and Wendy and the Lost Boys and their adventures in nature put me in an imaginative and serene mood every time I watch. 

“The Secret of Roan Inish”

This is the story about a girl named Fiona, who learns about the island Roan Inish from her grandparents she has gone to live with and other villagers. She’s hoping to unlock the secrets of her missing baby brother Jamie and believes Roan Inish has something to do with it. The outfits, scenery and colors in this 90′s film are what really get me in the mori-moodset, not to mention the outfits, especially her knitted cardigans!

“Anne of Green Gables”

Anne of Green Gables is a classic about a red-headed girl who’s smart and headstrong and dramatic and always getting herself into trouble. I love her outfits in this movie, and I always wanted to visit Green Gables myself as a child!

“The Secret Garden”

Another classic I watched a million times as a kid! I was always jealous that all the characters got to live in a castle, play with animals and nature all day long. Literally this entire movie is perfectly mori, from the weather to the costumes and music and more.

Jane Austen films

Jane Austen’s stories are always whimsical and lovely stories about smart girls. The relationships between sisters, colors, outfits, and family love make these movies a top choice for the fall. 

“Flyaway Home”

Okay, so this movie is so filled with 90′s fashion it’s hardly mori at all. But I think we can all relate to a girl going through adolescence, feeling lonely and wanting a friend, and finding it in her goslings who see her as their mother and need her to teach them to fly south. As a kid I was always so jealous of her bird children and how much they loved her, and of course now is the time that geese are flying south, so fall is the perfect time to watch this movie!

“Phoebe in Wonderland”

This movie isn’t very well known, but I saw it on Netflix one day and I watched it so many times over. Not only because Phoebe’s vintage outfits in this film are so charming, but because Phoebe’s character is so relatable. Phoebe is a young girl who starts to develop some OCD-tendencies and begins hurting herself and she doesn’t know why, and to help cope she begins to see visions of characters from Alice in Wonderland, the play she’s staring in at school. This movie is a bit odd but a perfect testament to childhood and growing up with a mental disability.

“A Tale of Two Sisters”

Now this is a horror movie, so if you spook easily I wouldn’t suggest this one, but it’s one of my favorites! This is a South Korean movie about two sisters, Su-mi and Su-yeon, who return from the hospital after an accident that killed their mother to live with their father and his new wife. However, his new wife is abusive to them and their family dynamic quickly begins to dissolve. The reason I include this is because of the scenery, the house and their outfits are perfectly mori-themed. I mean, look how cute they are!

And this is just one of them. Their bedroom is something I’m also quite envious of. Not to mention the soft piano and violin music gets me every time. If you haven’t seen it yet, and you’re not scared easily, I highly recommend it.

What are some of your fall favorites? Let me know! I’m always looking for more mori-spiration!

How to Make a Perfect Mermaid Costume

Most individuals have seen Disney's "The Little Mermaid" animated movie. But there are a number of others which are completely excellent - classics. Here they're:

My top choose for a mermaid film is "Splash". Not only is it humorous and the plot great, however there may be fairly a bit of awesome footage of Daryl Hannah mermaiding in the ocean. We won't get enough of that! Needless to say this is not a children's movie.

It was made in the '80s, and for the most part it's okay for the family to watch. However there's a little bit of nudity (when the mermaid is strolling into New York out of the ocean with nothing however her long hair to cover her) and there is some implication of what she and the Tom Hanks character are doing within the elevator, although nothing is shown. The movie is wonderful, with an ideal story and awesome mermaid footage and many laughs, in addition to a terrific romance.

My second best choice is "The Secret of Roan Inish". This is a safe, quiet film your complete household can take pleasure in. It was made in Ireland, and as such is slower and quieter than most American films. It is about a bit of Irish lady who moves to dwell together with her grandparents. While there she unwittingly stumbles upon the thriller surrounding the island the household used to reside on, called "Roan Inish" (Island of the Seals).

As she slowly solves the mystery, she brings therapeutic and unity back to the household. In this movie the legendary creature is a selkie, not a mermaid. The selkie lives in the form of a seal. On occasion she climbs up on a rock and removes her seal skin, revealing a fantastic lady. So this film is a bit of bit completely different, and you will never look at a seal the same manner once more.

My third favourite mermaid film is "Aquamarine." This one is geared to the teenager crowd. It has nothing unseemly, so the entire family can enjoy it. It is a delightfully different rendition of the traditional Little Mermaid story, with an exquisite surprise ending. The mermaid in this movie is different, more like a daily teen girl. There are several good shots of her within the water. The messages on this movie are high quality, comparable to loyalty, friendship, private confidence, selflessness and courage. And it's also very funny.

Quantity four of my prime mermaid movies is an old black and white traditional referred to as "Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid." You will have a problem finding this film to watch, however VHS variations are available on the market on Amazon.com. All of the underwater footage was filmed within the well-known Weeki Wachee Springs in Weeki Wachee, Florida, only a 12 months after this underwater theater opened. Made in 1948, this movie is a couple of married couple taking a vacation in the Caribbean. The person is almost 50 and is having a mid-life disaster.

While on vacation he by accident fishes up a live mermaid from the sea! Ann Blyth performs the enchanting mermaid and you will love this excellent film. The one objections a mother or father might have is the theme of extramarital flirting, and a few funny scenes with a man trying to give up smoking.

One that is a little completely different, and which solely recently came out, is a Japanese anime Miyazaki film referred to as "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea", or just "Ponyo". In this one the fish-woman is depicted as a goldfish with a human face, which is reasonably strange. But in an uncommon twist, this 5-12 months-old fish-girl has to get the little five-12 months-old human boy to like her faithfully, or she will turn into sea foam and be no more. It is such a sweet interpretation, these small children learning to like and belief each other in such an innocent method. It is a tale of wonder and braveness and shouldn't be missed.

My choose for quantity six is Disney's "The Little Mermaid". It was the movie that received Disney back into the popular film business again in the Nineteen Eighties. The music and story are a delight. I bear in mind how enchanted I was when it first came out - it is a pleasant mermaid film, enjoyable for the entire family.

Quantity seven for me is the Russian adaptation of "The Little Mermaid." This 1976 movie exhibits plenty of wonderful mermaid footage below the ocean. Again then the swimmers had only small flippers, in order that they had to ripple their legs in a very quick motion for motion. The underwater scenes are only to start with of the movie, however they are marvelous!! (I can not determine how those swimmers may very well be in the water with all these jellyfish!!). You can find this film to rent at Netflix and it's directed by Vladimir Bychkov.

Once more, this version of Anderson's well-known story is a little bit totally different, virtually a totally new story. Be forewarned that there's nudity in a single scene, and portrayals of a witch performing magic. Apart from these the entire household will enjoy this one.

Barbie Mermaidia" is just a little-kid movie, but the plot is nice and the scenes are beautiful. I especially loved the bizarre design of Barbie's mermaid tail. On this story the main character has to make nice sacrifice, and learns some good lessons. I like this one higher than the newest Barbie mermaid film due to its great message.

There was a lot excitement this year over the new launch of "Barbie in a Mermaid Tail." This one has splendidly fun surfboarding scenes. The mermaid world of Oceana was a bit unusual - basically a mimic of our materialistic society. This made it funny but in this setting you lose the mystery and magic of legendary mermaids. That is what I call a "fluff" movie - nothing deep, just enjoyable photos and a pleasant little story.

My least favorite mermaid movie is a kid movie known as "Roxy Hunter and the Fantasy of the Mermaid." It is a few younger small-town journalist named Roxy who step by step discovers her new homeless buddy (a beautiful blond) is actually a mermaid. The movie is okay however throughout your entire movie there aren't any underwater scenes or scenes with a mermaid in a tail - none - till after the very end. Then, lastly, you see about 10 seconds of the blond mermaid swimming underwater with a gorgeous tail. The story is attention-grabbing enough, however, and children will certainly get pleasure from this film.

Have you ever ever dreamed of having a mermaid tail and skimming via the water with the fish? Of feeling and looking like a real mermaid, your hair flowing behind you as you swirl and twirl underwater?

Effectively, it's attainable as we speak to be a mermaid-although I am afraid I can't promise you'll be able to breathe beneath water!

No, I am speaking about a new pastime which is rising across the globe, and it's called mermaiding. Not just girls and women are doing it, however so are boys and males.

Many of us had been inspired by the famous international model, Hannah Fraser, often known as Hannah Mermaid. She dreamed of being a mermaid since she was 9 years old. As she got older, she began modeling. Ultimately she began crafting her own full mermaid costumes and doing underwater picture and video shoots. She Русалка: Скарлет, ты права! now has three attractive, one-of-a-variety tails and many amazing footage you may view on her website by googling "Hannah Mermaid." She has mermaided with sea turtles, dolphins, fish and whales!!! She has skilled herself to resist ocean stress down to nearly 40 feet, and she will gold her breath for two minutes.

You can even do a search on YouTube for "mermaid" and you'll find numerous people who are making and swimming in their very own mermaid tails.

So now you know about mermaiding, and you'll't wait to get began. If you know the way to stitch and have the time, you can also make your individual simple tail. Sasha Mermaid has an exquisite YouTube video tutorial on "Easy methods to Make A Mermaid Tail.

If you would like a tail however don't want to sew one, yow will discover a company which makes mermaid tails, tops and equipment. There are a number of out there, together with a few eBay sellers. Prices range from 100 dollars to over a thousand dollars.

Now that you have your tail, a matching high and maybe a seashell necklace or two, you might be ready to mermaid.

The tails use a monofin, which is a single flipper which each your feet match into. It takes a bit of getting used to, swimming together with your legs connected collectively in your tail. For those who already know the dolphin swim, this can be a great stroke to do with the tail on. However you don't need to know any special swim strokes-the tail with the monofin itself will trigger you to swim mermaid-vogue. It seems to be very lovely within the water, is quick and fun to do.

Now, to enhance your mermaiding, there are a number of abilities to master. First, you might want to swim, dive and do twirls within the water without ever holding your nose. In case you are used to holding your nose, your first step is to learn to blow out a bit of when you first go under and be taught to not hold your nose anymore. In the event you practice this loads, but find that there are occasions you'll be able to't get by with out holding your nose or too much water is available in, I suggest you get a transparent noseplug particularly for swimming. You may slip it onto the top of your nose and it will keep the water out, it doesn't matter what you do in the water. Since it is clear, it will not draw consideration to itself.

Secondly, it's essential to practice holding your breath for longer durations of time below water. Use frequent sense and warning-don't let your self get into hazard or go out. However from my analysis I've found that learning to carry your breath for lengthy periods of time simply comes with apply and learning to calm down within the water. The mermaid performers in Weeki Wachee, Florida, swim and practice every day. A few of them have learned to hold their breath up to six minutes lengthy! One other mermaid model, Mermaid Linden, hires herself out for mermaid performances and she or he has educated herself to carry her breath for 4 and a half minutes!

On New Years night time 2006, I requested to see the Angels. I closed my eyes and I clearly noticed my Guardian Angel, a lovely feminine angel, standing on a beach. She smiled at me and identified into the ocean. She mentioned "Go swimming with the Mermaids. They'll clear you of any negativity you may need amassed over the past 12 months.

So in my imaginative and prescient, I clearly saw myself walking into the ocean. I was submerged below water and I saw about 5 - 6 stunning feminine Mermaids swimming in the direction of me. They were smiling as they started to swim all around me. I knew they have been "cleansing my aura." Their fins and hair would gently contact my skin and every time that they'd "swoosh" by me I would really feel a rush of peaceable and loving energy. They then started to chuckle and their laughter seemed to name in the dolphins.

Simply then a bunch of dolphins started to swim round me, alongside the mermaids. The dolphin's energies had been very glad and lightweight.

After a couple of moments more, I thanked the Mermaids and Dolphins for their loving and therapeutic energy and returned to the seaside. My Guardian Angel was there on the seashore, smiling at me. I felt a lot "lighter and happier", and I smiled back at her, after which my vision was over.

The Mermaids can work with any of us irrespective of the place we stay. In the bodily world, the third realm, I reside in the desert in Arizona. However our consciousness is linked with the consciousness of all, and due to this fact we are capable of touring to numerous realms and areas if we so want, without moving our bodily our bodies. We often do this during our dreamstate, but we are mostly unaware of this. When we are meditating and visualizing such issues like "swimming with the Mermaids of Atlantis" part of our consciousness really does go to the depths of the Ocean the place Atlantis and the Mermaids of Atlantis reside. And we will expertise nice healings and wonderful insights once we "travel" in this manner.

What are Mermaids?

Mermaids are Water Elementals, who're like the Guardian Angels of the Sea. They appear to seem like half human, half fish creatures. The higher a part of their body, above the waist, is human-like and very beautiful. The decrease part of their body merges into a robust fish tail. Merfolk or Merpeople, as they're referred to as, can be feminine (Mermaids) or male (Mermen).

The Merfolk exist on the identical realms because the Faeries and Elementals, which are often called the Fourth and Fifth Realms. Indeed the Merpeople are Faery, as they are the protectors, guides and guardians of the Oceans (Faeries defend all of nature and there are lots of varieties of Faery beings).

Mermaids, and even the Mermen, are thought-about to be very sensual and erotic beings. They might help us to heal our beliefs and wounds regarding sexuality, the physical body and our feelings. They also resemble the therapeutic qualities of water and can help us in cleaning bodily, emotionally, mentally or spiritually.

The Merfolk exist all around the world in the Oceans and Seas. The Mermaids and Mermen of Atlantis however, are thought-about to be the "royalty" of the Merpeople. The Mermaids and Mermen of Atlantis are some of the nice protectors, alongside the Angels of Atlantis, of the therapeutic crystals and temples of Atlantis, which exists now within the depths of the Ocean near Greece.

There are also other Mermaids and Mermen who help to protect the oceans and seas, and the therapeutic crystals and temples of Atlantis. There are mermaids often known as "Mer-Angels" and some generally known as "Mer-Fairies". The Mer-Angels are Mermaids and Mermen who are just like the Archangels of the Oceans. They have fins and huge angel wings. The Mer-Fairies are smaller Mermaids and Mermen who have fins and Gossammer Wings like that of a Gossammer Winged Fairy.
