[Appellativo]

that awkward moment when your husband huffs (as he gently tosses three monofin/tails off the couch...)..."COUCHES are made for SITTING on.....!"

the awkward moment when THE ONE TIME YOU HAVE A BF ON VALIENTINES DAY IS THE ONE TIME THE CON YOU BEEN PLANING ALL YEAR IS ON FEB 14
awkward moment when you think to make it up to him is to bring him to the local indoor pool on the 15th of febuary
awkward moment when you're trying to decide if you should bring your tail or not
awkward moment when you relised you havent told him that you are a mermaid yet.
im waiting til i get done with my newest fabric tail to tell him. my plan is to invite him over and "accidently" forgot to put away your tail
awkward moment when you never even started on said fabric tail
im a mess

TAMW you're putting on your tail poolside and the lifeguard walks past, you smile at him but he refuses to look at you, instead one can hear him muttering "mermaid"!

the same thing happened to me but i was at a resort and instead of the life guard it was one of the security guards

[MermaidIndie]

That awkward moment when you've been mermaiding so much that you accidentally spill water on yourself and then fall thinking you have a tail


The crash of waves and salty air are the signs of freedom

[MermaidMichelle]

That one is amazing, Indie! It must be quite something (cool!) to be in that particular mindset!

[MermaidIndie]

It is but it turns into another awkward moment of trying to explain to whoevers around you what the hell your doing

[PearlieMae]

Never explain!

He is one of the cutie lifeguards too!

TAMW the parent(s) is more excited to see you than the kid(s).
TAMW the parent tells you they love mermaids but their kid(s) look terrified at seeing one in person!
TAMW the parent reaches over and touches your fluke, telling their kids, "Come on! She won't bite"
TAMW kid(s) goes to hide behind their parent!

Tamw my actual bra size is 30 FF or a 30DDDDD in us sizing. This is why I can't wear seashells. XD

this, all of this

I've thought about finding someone who could do a face sized shell in silicone (think about how heavy a real shell in our sizes would be!)

I saw a drawing of a curvy mer with jellyfish on her chest and it looked pretty cool, and in response to 'don't they sting you?' you can say 'does the anemone sting the clownfish?' and that'll explain everything to the littles


TAWM when a kid asks you why you have a necklace of scales (OMG still loving them, Pearlie!) and your oldest child pops his hip out and says "because my mum is a mermaid"

[Mermaid Jaffa]

TAMW one takes her tail off in the pool so she can go outside for a snack.
TAMW does not know what to do with her legs... What I thought, "Do I kick? Why I'm not staying afloat??"
TAMW one has to do a half arsed doggy paddle 30 cm to the pool ladder.

It was really a short distance and yet it was like I completely forgot how to swim without a tail!

That awkward moment when your parents introduce you to people as "our daughter the mermaid." Or even more awkward, when your parents have already told them you are a mermaid and you later meet them and they first thing they say is, "Oh you're the mermaid! Nice to meet you."

Today my dad and I went to a little hole in the wall chinese food place he and my mom like that is owned by a lady with two little daughters. Since it's MLK Jr day they had off from school and were at the restaurant, so my dad introduced me. Coincidentally I was wearing my whale fin necklace, so the eldest asked me if I was wearing that because I'm a mermaid...which I was.

That's awesome! You just made my night!

(A face-sized shell, huh? I'll give it a shot. )

That actually reminds me of a sad story from an early-90s issue of DRAGON magazine: a mermaid falls in love with a sailor and thus intentionally approaches and is caught in his nets, he enlists the help of a witch to turn the mermaid human, hostile sailors threaten the mermaid, and she jumps into the water to escape and promptly drowns because she can't swim without a tail!

Surgeon General's Warning: Those who live a mermaid's double-life should make ample use of both legs and tail, so as not to forget how to use any of them!

no tears my dear. Small busts can be an asset, I worry on a regular basis that my boobs will float out of my tops. You could literally wear one of my bra cups as a hat

[Shimmer Mermaid]

Lol I think you and your boobs are lovely

[Lily]

TAMW you get so excited just ordering supplies for making your tail that...
