a Guy

need to do some testing to see if this guy is food-safe or not, because some of the clear glaze was applied a little thin, so there's a rough (but not pinhole) texture in some spots. but I may just mark him as not food-safe just to be safe. he can protect your trinkets instead

Originally, mermaids evolved to mimic the beauty standards of humans in their regions. But now, mermaids look however they want without caring how humans think they "should."

Some mermaids happen to fit modern human preferences, to the chagrin of insecure people everywhere. Though many humans and mermaids have successfully courted each other... They are still formidable predators with endless defense systems, should you overstep.

While not human, mermaids are still people. Treat them as such.

Now, do stop laughing.

A page of mermay doodles! Plus some on their own:

I'll go back and touch them up and post my favorites individually when I have time, but in the meantime look forward to 17 more to round out May!

Hi I have no prompt to submit to the keeper of genetic code but I just wanted to say that I’ve been having a rough time for a while now and this blog, which seems to be a perfect blend of commitment to the bit, love for this hellsite, and interest in genetics that probably couldn’t be better suited for my sense of humor, brought me a lot of unbridled joy really quickly. Thanks for coming up with it, and for revealing that the connection terminated speech from FNAF holds the key to humanity 🫡 I look forward to seeing the next creature you identify

Still feeling stuffed from your Thanksgiving feast? Meet the Guineafowl puffer (Arothron meleagris)! Instead of chowing down on turkey, this fish feeds mainly on the tips of branching corals. It gets round not by eating but to avoid being eaten, swallowing water to dissuade predators from attempting such a big bite. If it’s late to inflate, this fish also has bacteria in its body that can be toxic.
