Honestly I'd ban them from the house if that's the case. Your home is your safe space.

Do smudge sticks work on in-laws?

Seconding this^

Thirding this (if that is even a word)
So sorry to hear you have to deal with this!
I agree, what he said was totally uncalled for, unnecessary, disrespectful, hurtful and many other things on the list...i can go on and on!
I hope you are ok, please don't let them get to you!
I know it's easier said then done, know that we are here for you and will slap the sh*t out of them with our flukes, mermaid style, if needed
Big hug coming your way

Last night was super weird. This guy came up to me downtown saying he knew I was a mermaid because he spoke with two of my ex girlfriends. I told him that was weird, since I've never dated women and been with Sean 8 years. He said he wouldn't betray their confidence by telling me who but they were from my 'early' days? Lol he seemed to know a lot about me and called me famous so I guess some girls are trying to namedrop me or some stupid thing.

He was very drunk and angry that I am famous for pretending to be a mermaid. He went on a big rant where he tried but failed to be philosophical. It was like the most offensive thing in the world to him that I dress up as a mermaid for a job. He tried to patronize me about being younger than him when I was actually 4 years older. Super weird.

As Iona and I walked to our car it dawned on us that this guy was mad because he thinks we think we are real lol. People, I put my tail on one leg at a time. Like would you walk up to a mall Santa and scream at them for not being the 'real' Santa?? I actually get crazies like that all the time, just usually on the internet. Not sure what it is about women with successful mermaid jobs but it sure makes a lot of men aggressively mad. We all get it.

Still love to know who my ex girlfriends are lol.

Like does he yell at actors?? Lol

[Echidna]

sorry to hear

Edit: decided to go PM for caution.

It's not just mermaids.
Synchro swimmers get it a lot too- even when they're highly successful, there is this deriding and patronizing of the sport.
If you goggle synchro or waterballet, among the first results will be persiflage videos and "funny" stuff meant to deride the athletes, and the general populace thinks it's not a "real sport" and so on.

Not sure why, but could it be because mermaiding, waterballet and synchro swimming are almost exclusively women's domains?
Men are not allowed to compete in synchro swimming.
For waterballet and mermaids, guys are beginning to crop up, but they are few and far between, and chances are if there's a job, it will go to a woman.

Guys will get angry and jealous if there is something a woman can do better.
That's already the case with boring desk jobs- imagine the rage for a field that looks fun where guys have almost zero chance to compete



Edit: I misspelled google, but the typo is hilarious, so I leave it in.

Now is the time to put your foot down and stop letting them ALL fuck with you. Seriously, excise these toxic people from your life and don't let them set one toe in your door until they all know how to behave!

I had to do much the same with my ex's Sicilian mother (OH! The fights!), but in the end, bitch stepped off! Good luck!

Perfect gif is perfect.

Uuugh. Seems like there is a douchecanoe down every stream. Chalk it up to another generic, jealous asshole.

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Jeez!
SeaGlass! Raina!
*sends waves of sympathy*

[Yulia]

I'm sorry Mertailor, but this is laughable

[Merman Arion]

[Mermaid Alea]

Haha Yulia I noticed that on his site recently too and I took a screenshot of it and kept it.

I don't really have room to criticize him though. I have never met or talked to him and I haven't bought anything from him, but I can't help but be annoyed after what other mers have had to go through with his tails.

[Starfrit]

"Unsurpassable Customer Service"? Is that what it's called when he resorts to having his mom answer his emails and fight with and insult his clients for him now?
