This blog is run by a disabled southeast asian american queer merman. My pronouns are he/they but honestly anything except she/her is acceptable. You may call me Phoebus (fee-bus).

Please feel free to send in your musings about the sea, art of mersonas, or even silly questions! All merfolk are welcome here so long as you are kind. I focus primarily on open water and kelp forest aesthetics.

Hey.

I love all of you.

All of you as in all 800+ of the merms following this blog, but also.....

All of you. Everything about you. Even the parts that when you read this, you think of and go "oh, they're well meaning but this part makes me bad. They don't know but if they did they wouldn't love me."

You're wrong. Even those parts. I have them too, everyone has them. They don't make you bad, you are not bad. They don't make you unlovable.

I love you. I promise. I see the stars in your eyes when you're excited and I fall in love. I see your smile and can't stop myself from smiling too. I see your brain working behind your lovely face and it takes my breath away how intelligent you really are. Even if you don't see it. Even if you got bad grades in school. You really are so smart. I'm in awe of you.

I love your hands. I love the gentle shape of your forearms. I love the curve of your cheek. I love the dimples on your thighs and the creases at your waist. I love the shape of your skeleton, the gorgeous frame of the whole of it.

I love the crooked teeth in your smile-- it wouldn't be your smile without them. I love how slightly asymmetrical your lips are. I love that one lock of hair you have that never falls into place. It's ridiculous and adorable and it makes me happy.

I love the line of your collarbone when you throw back your head in laughter or carefree enjoyment. I love the marks on your skin, the freckles and angel's kisses and stretch marks and scars. I love the rough patches that always get too dry, the ones you can't stop scratching at even though you know you shouldn't. They give you texture. They make you real. You're so incredibly real.

I love you. I promise I do. I love your humor and your wit and your words and your thoughts. I love even the parts of you you're nervous to share because in the past people have made you feel lesser for having them. Those people were stupid. They were wrong.

Everything about you is amazing.

I love you.

Please don't forget it. Please remember it even when I can't say it often. When you lie in bed and feel pain in your chest because sometimes it just hurts, please remember me. I love you. I love you. I love you.

Be well, sweet one.

💙💚💙

S C R E AM

I WANT TO GO TO THE OCEAN

I WANT TO SMELL THE SEA BREEZE

I WANT TO HEAR THE WAVES SOFTLY MOVING OVER THE BEACH

I WANT TO FEEL THE SALT AIR TANGLE MY HAIR AND BITE MY CHEEKS

I WANT TO SEE THE SAND GLIMMER IN THE DIM LIGHT, SHINING WITH TINY FRAGMENTS OF CRYSTAL

I WANT TO TASTE THE BRINE ON MY LIPS, ACCUMULATED THERE FROM THE MIST AND WIND

BUT I C A N T

BC OF FUCKING QUARANTINE

Cool fact: At least 50% of Earth’s oxygen is produced by marine phytoplankton. Thanks for the breaths, ocean!

Sushi or red lobster? (I personally can't stand lobster because they boil them alive... same with crab)

I’m kind of 50/50. I really enjoy Japanese culture and I’m a sucker for raw fish so sushi is delightful, but the unique flavor of lobster is hard to beat and crab is just fun to eat.

the forest this farming that… where are my sea-folk who want to return to the deep, to follow little lights to colonies of coral, to run through the waves on borrowed human legs, and to sing a song of our home so beautiful and haunting that sailors leap in to experience a little of the sea’s magic themselves?
