#finfun tails

[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?

Okay, so I like imagining what Twelve was doing in his browser history by imagining that he just got really into various niche/strange hobbies.

Mostly I do this by just projecting my own hobbies, because obviously - was his browser history full of No Man's Sky (embarrassing because why would a time and space traveller want to play a video game about space travel when you can do the real thing?) Or maybe it was full of very specific opinions about mechanical keyboards? Or honestly any social media account I think would be something the Doctor would be embarrassed enough about to discourage people seeing, but not so much as to be genuinely uncomfortable, which matches the tone of those jokes in the show.

But I also enjoy mermaiding as a hobby, and though I haven't been swimming recently (winter + chlorinated pools + dry skin = agony), the idea would not let go so here we are:

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.

Classic mertube tails I’d assign my characters:

Aries - obviously the old finfun Aussie green

Icarus- sun tails Bahama pink

Pandroa - magitails purple

Zagreus- the 2 tails Catalina sea green

The blue one is def gorgeous! It's a great tail, but def getting a different monofin for it. I've heard Linden makes for better propulsion and better foot pockets compared to the FinFun elite monofin

Half a year in the mermaid community!!

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 💗

04.12 - sleigh! 🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Mungojerrie, from the top of a high pile of garbage and other junk: There is not a slope too high for slide!

Rumpleteazer, stand near him: Someone has to show kittens how to do it properly!

Cysiek, standing with Jenny: My bet: two cracked ribs, one pulled tail, six bumps on heads and at least ten bruises. You betting?

Jennyanydot, with sigh: Yes. Usual stakes?

(Cysiek is my oc, he partially lives in a vet clinic and very often helps Jenny with injured and/or sick cats.)

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

FinFun, prepare the most bizarre, crazy and dangerous sleigh ride in the whole junkyard with jumps and other attractions.

Pouncival: I can't wait to try this one!

Tumblebrutus: Me too! His tracks are epic!

Etcetera: Oh, it'll be fun!!!

Mungojerrie: You think someone will die on that one too?

Pouncival, Tumblebrutus and Etcetera, alarmed: What?

Rumpleteazer, with innocence on her sweet face: You didn't know? Last year one of the cats tried his track and well... No one sees him never again...

Pouncival: I think we should go and... rethink that?

Tumblebrutus and Etcetera: Yeah, bye!

FinFun, appears next to Menace Duo: You're too good in scaring them off. But I don't know if you should talk about poor guy like that.

He added and disappeared with a mischievous smile.

Mungojerrie: Wait, what?

(FinFun is my oc, he's best friends with Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, they often work together but also compete, who make the best pranks.)

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Rum Tum Tugger, sitting on sleigh, with Misto between his thighs, snuggled close black back to fluffy chest: Are you ready?

Mistoffelees: No.

Rum Tum Tugger: What? What more do you need? The track is safe and we have pads!

Mistoffelees: I want a kiss!

Rum Tum Tugger, with shrug: OK handsome...

When Tugger bows to kiss his lover, Misto with a mischievous smile push them with magic.

Rum Tum Tugger: Whooooaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Mistoffelees and Macavity, riding on a charmed sleigh, so no one needs to pull them.

Mistoffelees: It was a perfect idea! One of the best!

Macavity, nuzzling his lover's ear: As most of your ideas...

Mistoffelees: I know! Wait, what? What does it mean "most"?

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.
