#mermaids around the world

[thelasthippie]

There's a lot of mermaid statues around the world. To me, they mean the nostalgy, the hidden desire to return to that we love. That's why I think sailors create her legend. Just a thinking.

Guatamalan Mermaid

For the grand finale of the Historical Mermaids a Guatemalan Mermaid! Based on beautiful photos of Guatamalan women and a parrot fish. I think she's really cute. Which historical mermaid was your favorite?

They had the best singing voices

Though to be fair, Ariel and Aurora had plot and/or magic on their side for that.

their stories were absolutely wild ones but they were still able to make it through the apocalypse

My oldest followers, you all remember how I come up with the wildest theories for Amphibia (especially my corruptianne and anastasia theory era.)

Well, here I am. Wondering what the heck did did I eat when I come up with them and I finally have the answer.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold; The Lore of My Childhood.

Pretty Rhythm: Ice skating Idol anime, in s2 the s1 mc got possessed by the clothes she's wearing and it dragged her soul to hell.

Shugo Chara: Magical Egg anime, Mc's youngest oc went evil the moment they were born and that oc decided to live with the edgiest idol in existence.

Danball Senki: Toy Robot anime, in s2 the s1 mc's friends got kidnapped by his dad and he teamed up with a gamer/power ranger cosplayer and a martial arts fighter to save them and they ended up having to protect the world from a capitalist company and the cosplayer's brother. Said cosplayer got his brain damaged and became a villain in the novels.

Idaten Jump: Bike anime, three idiots got isekaid with their bikes and they found out that the mc's dad is the missing king of the world they're in right now.

Mermaid Melody: Mermaid anime, A penguin and an octopus have a wholesome enemies to lovers relationship and tries to hide it from their friends romeo and juliet style.

Tamagotchi: Yes this game has an anime, a 12 year old alien accidentally kidnapped a human child and almost end the world cause he made god think that he's going to take a break.

I swear, I'm not messing with you all. All of this actually happened in canon.

The Mermaid in the Hospital - Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill - Ireland

Translator: Paul Muldoon (Irish)

She awoke   

to find her fishtail   

clean gone   

but in the bed with her   

were two long, cold thingammies.   

You'd have thought they were tangles of kelp   

or collops of ham.

"They're no doubt   

taking the piss,   

it being New Year's Eve.   

Half the staff legless   

with drink   

and the other half   

playing pranks.   

Still, this is taking it   

a bit far."

And with that she hurled

the two thingammies out of the room.

But here's the thing   

she still doesn't get—

why she tumbled out after them   

arse-over-tip...

How she was connected   

to those two thingammies   

and how they were connected   

to her.

It was the sister who gave her the wink

and let her know what was what.

"You have one leg attached to you there   

and another one underneath that.   

One leg, two legs...

A-one and a-two...

Now you have to learn   

what they can do."

In the long months   

that followed,   

I wonder if her heart fell

the way her arches fell,

her instep arches.

okay but what's the average lifecycle of a typical tynamo→eelektross look like? they (at least appear to) start out as tynamo in chargestone cave, but their evolved forms seem absent from the environment. do they migrate as they evolve? what makes them so rare in what seems to be the only place the species is endemic to? where do their different stages fit into the food web? what do they eat as they grow? what eats *them*? would they be cannibalistic? are the young parasitic? are there mons (and a few concerned lost trainers) wandering around with circular wounds but otherwise unharmed, ala lamprey/cookiecutter shark? do eelektrik and eventually eelektross move out towards the ocean or rivers, only rarely returning to breed, or do they sink deeper into the depths of the caves where the water pools deep?

look im pretty sure im at least mildly sick at this point but suddenly this is the worldbuilding i NEED to think about right now immediately

I try my best to keep things positive on here, but the hate comments for TLM '23 are ridiculous lol
