Arctic merman saying hi!

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for some time, but thought I should finally break that habit :) I'm merman Talvikko and as the title suggests, I live in Sweden waaay north of the arctic circle. We've got ice 6 months of the year and friggin' cold water the rest of the time, so swimming without a wetsuit is not recommended unless there's a sauna within spitting distance. But hey - at least I've got my very own lake to play in.

I'm a LARPer and cosplayer who loves performing and costume-making in general and I always have tons of overambitious projects in my head and hands, most of which are never finished because there are just too many of them. No tail yet, but it's somewhere on the neverending list. Until then I guess I'll keep admiring the rest of you and hope that some day my dream of doing a merman photo shoot under the ice will come true :)

Welcome Talvikko! Here's hoping you get your tail sooner rather than later.

You've got your own lake and the chance to swim under the ice. We should be admiring YOU ;)

Welcome Talvikko! I'm new here too!!
I hope you get your tail soon. And SWEDEN!!! I've always wanted to go there.

Welcome to the mernetwork

Damn, polar bear swimmer, ey? ;) Welcome to MerNetwork.

Hello and welcome! That was a nice introduction. Sweeden sounds pretty cool!
I'm sorry about my awful ice puns.

Thank you all! And yeah Tybee, talking about the weather is always a good icebreaker! (I'll see myself out)
