Mermaid and her Sea Pups

This is the 4th mermaid in the Mermay art challenge. I’m a little behind but I’m still planning to finish all the mermaids. The next one is horror, so I hope you’re ready 😉

Is it just me, or does slowpoke give some super cute, manatee vibes? He would be the dopiest, little mermaid! 🥺

Some mermaid doodles. The manatee girl on the right definitely got more artistic love, but I'm so attached to the idea of a ray mermaid like the ones on the left

Do you think Mermaids exist in KOTLC?

They do exist and are mentioned in canon! When Sophie is searching through Edaline's trunks in Everblaze looking for Jolie's stuff, she comes across some of her journals and says:

"A quick flip through the pages told Sophie there were probably some interesting stories in there--the words 'monitoring the mermaid migration' particularly caught her attention" (p. 264).

So they exist, but appear to be more animalistic than humanoid. Like she does with selkies and banshees and dragons, adapting them into her own creatures. Hope that helps!

Mermay Day 4: Manatee

Most of my stories from the Rescue center end happily enough. We find the merm, or it's brought to us, it gets better, then we release it back to where it was found. Edie's case was a little more complicated. She was a Grey River Grazer, cut up by a mishandled net, and very pregnant. It was a race to get her better so her baby could be born in the right environment. I still see her and her daughter Marilyn swimming out by the rivers. Such gentle beasts. One of the first merm species ever documented. I wonder if she remembers me as much as I remember her.

Real vs. Ideal mermaid 🐄🧜🏾 the first photo is hella edited lol I wanted to make my lil study look a little more interesting ✨

It's based off of these funny drawings of mermaids being absolutely gagged by seeing a manatee 💀

[lizardsfromspace]

Someone yelling that mermaids should be "scientifically accurate" but they just think the Little Mermaid should star a manatee a hallucinating 18th century sailor sees for three seconds & gets incomprehensibly, frightfully horny for
