advice for a mermaid kin!
wear long skirts that remind you of your tail
spend lots of time in and around water
sing!! mermaids are known for singing, and you dont have to be good at it
wear accessories with seashells, scales, fishnets, and coins on them. these have always felt reminiscent of mermaids to me
listen to ocean noises, whale calls, and maybe even sea shanties
you can draw scales on your skin in marker, pen, or glitter pen, and marking color between your fingers looks like you have webbed hands! (first hand experience as a dragon)
eat seaweed, seafood, and things that remind you of what you ate in the ocean
Its strange having these feelings for the ocean, i get them occasionally but theyre usually shoved down by my dreams of ranchland and mountains and plains, but theyll work their way up and into my head and ill desperately miss the sea. I miss the smell of it, i miss the sand, the sound of the waves that masks everything, the sun and the mists, the breeze, especially on the back of a ferry
But im also terrified of the ocean. Its so incredibly huge and theres all sorts of things in there, and it kills us without effort and destroys civilizations
But its like im meant to be there, submerged under the waves and tasting the salt even after ive climbed out. My hair feeling strange and slightly crunchy and curling at the ends in the sunlight. Flicking my tail to send myself shooting along the sand and coral, terrorizing a little group of fish and catching one in my clawed hands to eat
