#finfun mermaid tail

[catsithkelpie]

Not what I usually post but I'm not getting quora just to ask this

Mermaiders/Merfolkers, professional or not,

do you know what I could substitute for a finfun monofin that doesn't float and also accommodates large feet? (I literally had to cut holes in my monofin to fit my feet inside and be able to remove them safely)

Something that would fit about a size 10, cheap, and again, DOES NOT FLOAT (I'm not gonna drown trying to swim underwater while my feet float to the surface) would be preferable, but the price isn't that big of an issue I guess, I can save up.

I keep wanting to train underwater but before I can do that I need to not be risking death any more than usual by going in the water.

For my followers seeing this, yes, I am training to be a merman, lol. Surprise?

The cute cake & cupcakes (& swimtail) my little sister is getting for her birthday tomorrow!

[florenceisfalling]

do people use the term "lifestyle mermaid" in the same vein as "lifestyle lolita" or is that something that only exists in my head

A new tail? That sounds so cool omg! I love your whole blogs aesthetic, but thats something you can expect from a fish woman's blog<3 The ocean has always fascinated me-- especially when I was younger! I have a bunch of ocs revolving around that sort of thing.

Also, yeah! I freaking love my ocs-- I'm actually in the process of creating a doc. Fang is just the one I'm focusing on the most, sometimes I feel like I can relate to her the most.

(Found a really cool picrew and I made her! I have pieces of art of her as well!)

If you search mermaid here you’ll see me in some of my finfun tails! This one is from finfolk. And surprisingly they come in handy w my job Lmfao.

OH she’s so pretty!! I had an image in my head but it can’t compare to your vision. Who are some of your other OCs you’d say have been around the longest ?? If you have art I’d love to be tagged for it or see it!!

Sorry you’re feeling sick! What do you rank all the Emily Windsnap characters (major and recurring ones) favorite to least favorite and why? Hope this makes you feel better!

Awww thanks!! Favorite major/recurring characters from most to least (sorry if I forgot any characters, there's so many of them)...

Emily. She's the main character, has a good balance of strengths and flaws, has several tremendous character arcs, and is an overall relatable character. Emily's especially relatable to me. It helps that I discovered the series when I was her age. And just like Emily I have mixed heritage, moved a lot which made making friends difficult, have a lifelong childhood friend who's like my Shona, had a bigoted teacher publicly humiliate me in front of the entire class which infuriated my mom (unlike Emily's mom she actually confronted my teacher), had a bully from middle school later apologize and make amends with me, had to split time between different schools, I even later learned to swim with a (FinFun) mermaid tail. Plus I share the same birthday as Emily (September 4)!

Mary Penelope. Likewise she has a good balance of strengths and flaws that show for the entirety of the series, has several tremendous character arcs, almost always took accountability for her mistakes, and has an intriguing backstory on how Emily came into the world. And she is a much better mom than most fictional moms! She shows patience and kindness when her daughter makes big mistakes, sets flexible boundaries, takes time to answer all her daughter's questions as best as she can, is 100% honest to her daughter, immediately notices and checks in on her daughter's emotional needs, and willingly throws herself into risky situations to protect her daughter. Over time she grows smarter and more aware of Emily's schemes. Also Emily’s mom realizes and admits her parenting mistakes VERY early on in her story, then spends the remainder of her story changing her ways to be a better parent. ABSOLUTE W MOM THERE.

Jake. Again he has an intriguing story that kicked off Emily's existence and a good balance of strengths vs. flaws. I'm ranking him slightly below Mary Penelope, only because after Book 3 he's just this kinda boring perfect parent who's never allowed to be wrong. Honestly everything I loved about Jake is in the first 3 books! Like his arc of learning how to be a better father to Emily (he and Mandy were the best parts of Book 2). Just because he's a kind and easygoing person, doesn't automatically mean he's a good parent. Which makes sense since he was gone for most of Emily's life. He had to learn how to stop babying Emily, how to set clear boundaries for Emily, how to also respect Emily's boundaries, how to acknowledge and validate Emily's feelings, how to help Emily face her fears, and ultimately do what's best for Emily in the long run (even against Emily's will). I also love Jake's slow rise to power from Neptune's prisoner to Neptune's loyal servant. He honestly earned it. His brief yet memorable appearances always raised lots of interesting questions for me, about himself and about the future of a possible human-merfolk coexistence.

Mr. Beeston. He has the biggest redemption arc of all, has an interesting backstory, and some of the biggest plot twists. He really emphasizes the fact that sometimes forgiveness has to be fucking earned.

Mystic Millie. Like Mr. Beeston she's also full of surprises and plot twists. Despite her mistakes, she was surprisingly competent and smarter than she let on. And she provides great comic relief!!

Shona. She's one of the most memorable characters!! Her trademark "Swishy!" phrase, her long blonde hair that she always takes great care of, was always kind to her friends even when they don't return that kindness, is the loyal friend we all wish we had, and she had her biggest arc in Book 7 with learning how to be a better friend.

Mandy. Her on-off friendship with Emily was interesting and always suspenseful. It's more than just a straight enemies-to-friends arc and I liked that. Honestly she and Jake are the best parts of Book 2. Throughout the series I never knew if Mandy would be Emily's friend or enemy. Book 9 especially emphasizes that. Glad it ultimately ended with these 2 keeping their friendship intact.

Aaron. He's a nice guy with a pretty cool backstory, and while helping Emily figure out where she belongs, he later figures out where he belongs.

Neptune. I like him for the same reasons as Mandy, for his enemies-to-friends arc and on-off relationship with Emily. Except he and Emily were never friends, maybe "allies" is a better term. Every time he appears, you never knew if he's be gonna with or against her. He's the best part of Book 5, where we learn much more of his backstory, and it's the first time he and Emily actually work together.

Happy international MerFolk Day! I had a wonderful time at @MetroMerfolkMeetup this weekend! It was so great seeing many old friends and making even more new ones!

chilling with my finfun. I think I grabbed one of the last of the original celtic green skins. I like the fluke of the updated one, but ultimately I liked this skin better. It’s a little less disney than the new one.

I don't know if anything will come of it, but I wanted to share this with you, because I'm crossing my fins that perhaps, something will. FinFun contacted me by PM after I mentioned on one of their FB posts that I've decided to boycott them lately, and this was our exchange.  As I mention in my message to them, I wanted to share their response, because my hope is that perhaps, if enough mers/other folks speak up, we can make a real difference, and thus, make more dreams a reality. ♥♥

"FF: We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our current options. Could you please tell us what you are referring to in particular?

Me: The fact that you keep coming up with all these BEAUTIFUL designs- and NONE of them are available in plus or custom sizes. You are literally singling out and excluding an entire community of merfolk who are genuinely and deeply wanting and needing affordable mermaid tail options.

I love that you guys even HAVE some custom size options, but this whole new craze in LE tails is awful because you are distinctly excluding the plus size community, whose sand dollars are just as good as anybody else's, and their dreams just as big & worthy. And every new LE tail design you put out is a painful reminder that you don't care as much about your plus and custom community/potential buyers. Your motto is "everyone deserves to dream," but clearly some of your customers matter more than others, and that's not okay.

I love your tails, own a few and have ALWAYS touted them to the world (check my unboxing review on YouTube if you don't believe me. It has over 3.000 views), but I'm not gonna continue to do that or follow you guys if the cool new designs you keep coming up with are unavailable to me, or people like me. It's hurtful and exclusionary, and as a plus-size professional mermaid whose mission it is to spread the word of inclusivity and wonder for ALL, (in the mer community and beyond), supporting you while you won't support us goes directly against my principles. We plus-size & other nontraditional mers deserve more than the scraps we've had to fight and scratch, beg & plead for, from the small group of tail makers who deign to throw a little business our way. We shouldn't have to fight and scratch. Our dreams and our dollars count too.

Ylluria ---(Secondary message)--- https://youtu.be/W4a9rsz_S70 3.5k views. That's a lot of sand dollars and potential customers you're saying don't matter as much to you.

FF: Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I will forward your heartfelt message to our management team and see that they hear your concerns. We appreciate everything you’ve done to promote our company thus far. You are right, we have lots of Fin Fans who feel the same way that you do about not having the option to get extended sizing in Limited Edition tails. Please know that you are extremely important to us!

Me: Thank you SO very, very much. It heartens me to not only get your speedy response, but to hear that you at least care and take my thoughts & feelings to heart. I'll pass that on to the other plus size mers in our large online FB community, and we'll be keeping an ear out for your response. It's good to know I'm not the only one who's spoken up about this. And if there's anything I can do to work with you guys as a plus size advocate or representative, or perhaps as an artist to help create more curvy-mer friendly designs, please don't hesitate to let me know. I truly do love FinFun and wanna help in any way I can to help more dreams come true. ('Cause my motto is verrrry similar to your own, but with a slight but meaningful differnce; which, as a plus-size and disabled mer, I'm extremely passionate about:

"EVERYbody deserves to live their dreams." "

I hope the person who responded & sounded so moved will carry that straight to the top of their company, and they'll truly hear us n' respond with some meaningful, massive changes. I really would be willing to relocate or work to help them design more curve-friendly tails, or promote them if they remedy this issue, 'cause I believe in what they do and it truly does break my heart that they keep coming out w/all these cute designs- that people like us have no hope of owning- because they simply -refuse- to make them in our size. So.. if you want them to change their ways, please, speak up. The more voices we have singing the same tune, the louder our song will be, and the more likely it is that they'll hear us. ♥♥

I got to try on my friend’s fancy mermaid tail today. The rainbow tail is mine and I love it very much, and it’s lightweight because it’s made of swimsuit material. The fancier tail is made of neoprene, so it’s much heavier and harder to swim in (my friend compares it to the difference between a wool blanket and a piece of tissue paper lol) but I managed okay! I just want to be a mermaid forever 🧜🏽‍♀️

My friend has two of the fancy tails (different versions of her favorite design) and here’s both fins together. I love the dramatic flukes 💗

Happy birthday to this gorgeous mer!! Victoria is literally my soul sister. I met her briefly the first time she tried on a tail, but our first real interaction was when we both showed up for a mermaid dance in Toronto, June 2019. Completely without any kind of coordination, I was in my dark mersona, and she was in a perfectly complimentary white mersona. We’ve been rocking the dark/light contrast ever since!!

Victoria is just the sweetest, most genuine person and I’m so happy mermaiding brought us together. Happy birthday, you fabulous fish, you!!
