    yes to the stealing of tail designs, mermaid photos, and art. cant stand it. I dont follow the mermaid "art" pages because they NEVER credit. and cant stand it when instagram accounts just steal everyones photos to make themselves look more popular.

    I had Alice Hoffman's publishing company (the lady who did aquamarine) take my photos for a BOOK COVER without asking! better believe they ended up paying me royalties.

    Then there was the guy who stole Syphira's tail design, sent it to Jazz, and claimed it was his even when she showed all her proof that it wasnt. And he went on a swearing rant.

    I have a video about dealing with parents and mermaids

    Merfest- we missed you there. I dont know if there will be another merfest (I am strongly leaning toward no cuz o shit I know) but there should be other conventions and some local. I got to sing on stage with Hannah. Mother of Mermaids? haha She's super nice in person and kind. Send her the video

    No one was ignoring people with the fabric tails. INfact, Tikva was the most photographed mer person there. No one knew him going in. He was involved in everything. He was in every media outlet... in his yellow fabric tail in every freaking photos. I think the issue was more that people were expecting individual attention, when really it's up to people to jump in and say hi and meet people like any other convention. In fact fabric tails were being rented out left right and centre. But I know of a few people who were just horrible in general and tried to blame it on that. lol


    I love it "let me be your voice" I feel like I've been doing that now for 7 years and I am so happy to pass the torch and have you do it haha you're way more entertaining. You already know my big ol list!

    I think the bestest thing about fabric tails, printed, painted and plain, is that no two are alike, even pre-made scale tails can be decorated differently. Yes you may get similar looks but when it comes down to how it was made, materials used etc, there will always be differences. Unless one has a clone out there, who can sew exactly like you, mistakes and all, every fabric tail is unique. I don't talk about other materials as I don't have experience making or swimming in them. I've yet to see another mer, young or old, in the same fabric tail as me.

    I JUST THOUGHT OF ONE! Topic for rant: mermaid spells. Oh man, that shit drives me NUTS! If no one knows the short answer let me enlighten you: no spell, no amount of magic, no amount of believing, can turn you into something you are physically not. You can not become a mermaid physically through magic.

    And the mers that say they are Pagan/Wiccan and/or witches (which are not synonymous, btw) and they are physically shifting into mermaids through magic? And encouraging others to do it too? Or the kids that pretend they are real mermaids through magic and then shame the "fake" mers who have tails- even while they are using photos of said "fake" mers to gain followers and attention on social media (without credit BTW)? SHAME ON YALL. I've seen kids/teens have mental breakdowns over the obsession from this stuff. Even full on breaks from reality because they want to believe so much that they can transform into a mermaid. It's damaging mentally and emotionally.

    Sorry, I guess I just got on a rant there all on my own, didn't I? Juku you get me in that take-no-shit ranty headspace haha XP

    Nice one

    I would love to go to a Merfest just once.
    It seems to be such an awesome congregation of friendly and welcoming people.

    There are nice mers in Europe too, but I never met any of them

    In fact, the in-country gatherings (all people not from the network) I've seen so far have seemed to be...

    THIS. THIS SO MUCH. it irks me that people who "call themselves pagan" do this kind of BS because i know plenty of pagans who dont and it makes the whole community look like we a bunch of lunatics.

    Now THAT would be amusing! Maybe we should each do a video of one. I think I'll do mine in the voice and mannerisms of Uncle Arthur.

    Oh the things I am learning. I had no clue there were mers out there claiming that they actually transform. I am Pagan and I believe in and use spells, but I also know reality and that I have to put my tail on to be a mermaid. No wishing, or spell casting can change that.

    Mer community rant 4 transcript

    Alright you guys, my computer is being a public pool bitch and it’s about to piss me the fuck off, cuz this is like the 6th video that I godddamn made, so imam try to make this shit short as fuck. I got my period on right now, for real. Imma make this shit short as fuck cuz I got my period on right now, for real and I can’t even get my- oh alright.*Fixed hat*

    MERMAN BLIX HERE. ERIC NOVA ON FACEBOOK (I didn’t get the Instagram part) LET’S GET A-ROLLIN! *Glasses flip*
    First thing, quit takin people’s SHIT. UHM, I’m tired of people spending their hard earned time, and they imagination drawn up these tails and them public pool bitches come up the god damn swamp, and takin people goddamn tail designs. STOP. OK? STOP CUZ it done happened to me, and I got a tail design, you know, somebody saw my shit, I posted up some designs… fellow saw it… he took it upon himself to get it made and HE AINT TELL ME SHIT, aint give me no type o thankyou, aint he tell me he was getting it made, or he didn’t even ASK. So automatically youre a public pool bitch. I dun give a FUCK.
    Tsk. That pissed me off. And just thinkin about it now just made me mad again that you didn’t even ask. It’s something as simple as just asking someone instead o takin they shit that pisses me off. That grinds my goddamn gears.
    Just ask I post-- 9/10 when I post a tail, a design, a drawing… I don’t want it. So you can ask. Just ASK me for it and I will be GLAD to give it to you. I don’t give a fuck. Cuz theres plenty more where that one came from. *close up* PLENTY MORE.
    So you know you got here you takin peoples designs, they hard work, they hard earned designs and shit, you’re a fuckin public pool bitch, and imam leave it at that. *snap* quit takin peoples shit, give credit when credit is due.
    Some o yall mermen, I aint gonna name no names cuz yall know who yall is, takin peoples drawings and shit, and postin it and not… givin no link… like just put the link. Its fine you do your little edits and magic words, but POST the LINK!
    If it’s a mermaid picture POST the damn Link, OK? And don’t say you don’t know who it’s from, cuz theres such thing called um… * close up* RIGHT CLICK AND SEARCH ON GOOGLE. *blink*ITS GONNA TELL YOU WHO THE HELL DREW IT. Quit takin peoples shit ok? Give credit when credit is due. LAHH.
    SUBJECT. DEAD.

    Uhm number two, Parents.
    If your parents don’t agree on or they talkin shit *hand wave* they are public pool bitches. You can love them all you want, but you were put on this earff to do what the hell you wanna do for the rest of your life once you get a certain age. My mama don’t .. you know she don’t like the fact that I collect dolls, and I do the mermaid thing, but I GOT PLENTY DOLLS AND I GOT PLENTY MERMAIDS!! Like no gurrrl, this mah money, if I wanna spend money on dolls and mermaids and shit then that’s Me. You can’t do shit about it. I love my mama to deaff, and she knows that but im gonna be doing this merman thing for a LOOOONG time. So if you guys are comin out now, and you know comin out of yo mermaid closets or merman closets and you want your parents to know, they don’t even have to know ‘secially if youre grown, but if your parents know and they talk-talkin shit, just be like “alright, I’m going swimming. Have a nice day.” They gon talk shit cuz that’s your parents job that’s what they here to do, when I have my child I’m not gonna do that. But whatever. Like. Tsk.
    People gon talk sit about you till the day u die, even AFTER *hand wave*. EVEN after. *hand wave*.
    So do what the hell you want to do. Tell them if they don’t approve, oh god damn well, life moves on. Put yo tail on and shit and keep on swimming like Dory said.

    Uhm. What else is there…… and I made this video so many times like I keep forgetting what the hell I’m talkin bout. Parents… uhhm… the makings of a modern mermaid oor merman theres no such thing maybe if you feel it down here *pounds chest, hair flips* and all dis down here *what the fuck gorgeous necklace much*in your heart, BE A GODDDAM MERMAID. There splenty of us, I’m here, if youre a guy be a merman, if youre a girl be a mermaid, if youre black, Asian, Puerto rican, Spanish… uhhh.. indian… BE A MER! COME ON OUT I need some more coloured mer, I need some more ethnic mers out in the world cuz they aint enough of us.. and.. you know, come on. I’m here right now, few of us in the front yall need to come on. It don’t matter what nobody say, be a mer. Theres no such thing as a modern or past mermaid… your mersona can be whatever the hell you want yo mersona to be. If you wanna look like Anette Kellerman (?) who was the founder of being a mermaid.. DO THAT! The long pearls on the arms and like your long hair and no top, and yo pretty little tail DO IT! If you wanna be modern, put some spikes on your tail, put sme hoop earings on your fin.. see im givin yall ideas.. come on just DO WHATEVER! Do whatever, aint no such thing, you know.

    Ken, that was for you. You know if you wanna be a merman, be a merman, baby, im right here. If you want you know tell me what yo budget is, and I will send you some link of some people who will do—who could make tails.. get a fabric tail first. I recommend.
    *finger wag* cuz a lot of public pool bitches buy silicone tails and don’t know how to swim in a tail and ends up on ebay in 3 days, yall better STOP that shit, yalls people wastin they time and they money and yall gonna sit there and sell it on ebay for abookoo ass amount o money. Like Stop ok? Stop and get a fabric tail, bitch you can paint on it you can add rhinestones yall know I like addin rhinestones and addin extra fabrics to make it your own, get a regular basic ass tail, and throw up all over it with glitter. Do whatever the fuck you want.
    *clap* Uhm.. that’s done.

    Merfest. I’ve never been, ive wanted to go this year but some shit happened to me at the airport cuz my credit was low, fuck yall cuz bitch I got my car now, so there is next year im definitely coming. From what I know its hella fun… just bein in a pool with a bunch of mermaids is fun to be PERIOD. Like . we a big family. We supposed to be a big family but theres too much o yall public pool bitches out there fuckin up family circle. BUT like any other family theres always gon be somebody fuckin shit up and bein a public pool bitch. Uhm. The pro is you know seein a bunch of other mers, seein a bunch of other people who like doin what you like doin. Havin fun swimming whatever.
    Another pro, HANNAH MERMAID. *FLAILS* I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW much I love that woman. Hannah mermaid is the shit. She is the mother. She is now the mother. She has been on multiple TV SHOWS. *blink blink Blink*ON THE NEWS. Hannah mermaid is the SHIT. She shared one of my uhm my public pool bitch rant, I love you Hannah mermaid, if you see this video , I love you I loveyouiloveyou I cannot WAIT to meet you so we can share energies and aura and all that good shit, I love you, you are an inspiration to a lot of people. And yall hoes need to start respecting her and being humble like her cuz Hannah done been everywhere and she still being humble as hell like you can tell from her eyes that that is a humble woman, a humble creature, she. Is. EVERYTHING.
    Cons, I’m tired of people comin’ up to me and tellin me they went to merfest and nobody acknowledged them and was walkin past them cuz they had a fabric tail. Yall need to quit doin that shit. Yall are up here tellin people be a mermaid, do whatever, mermaid this and mermaid that but when yall get to merfest, yall got this just-just sittin on this highass seahorse- no!! That’s when we come together. Its bad enough 365 we online just so we can talk to each other, some people got their own little mermaid meet ups and when everybody come together that’s when it’s at merfest. And I felt that sometimes when these girls were tellin me that they went there and *head wag* nobody was acknowledging them. That was a public pool bitch move! Yall need to stop that shit. So when merfest comes around next year and im COMIN. Best believe I’m comin, and bitch if I see somebody sittin on the pool by theyself, imam swim wichu baby. Best believe that I am comin to see you I don’t care if you got a silicone tail, tail made out of cotton, goddamn trash bag, latex, neoprene, all dat, im swimming wichu. Im gonna come there with open arms. Yeah im talkin shit, this is what nicki minaj mers… imma say what the fuck I wanna say but when I come to merfest if there is one, merhugs for everybody, cupcakes, come to the room we can smoke sea weed, I dun give a fuck, go to the chines buffet, whatever.

    So yeah. That’s the pros and cons that I know of merfest. Yall need to stop doin that shit. For real. Yall need to start being more friendly.

    what else. Uhm. I think that’s it.

    next video is gonna be question and answers
    . OH YAY!!!
