B!TC# IT OUT!

[Mermaid Momo]

Dyed my hair today. It was supposed to be purple and pink... But it's purple and NEON pink. I'm hoping the pink fades down over the next few days but the purple is exactly how i wanted it.

Here's a b!tch from me.. You know how I've been working on my silicone tail project for absolute months now and I made a fluke mould based off the h2o tails, WELL GUESS WHAT!?! IT BROKE IN HALF!! I'm just so angry with myself because I've spent months and months and months working on this project and it feels like all my hard work is worth nothing I started this project so I could finally live my childhood dream of owning a silicone tail but I feel like giving up. Why do I even try?

God, that sucks,, dont give up, make another mould and add chicken wire to it for support! I know stuff like that is frustrating, but it will be worth it in the end!!

How broken is it? What did you make it out of? Can the two halves be put back together easily? It might just be a set back and not a lost cause!

It's a plater mould. I've been told to put some of the plaster on the two halves and stick it together but I'm worried it's gonna keep breaking in the same place. It's a clean break though.

This is just a petty complaint, but sometimes I just hate having siblings. I can't sleep when there is ANY source of light coming into my room but my sibling likes sleeping with the hallway light on.. which is right outside my bedroom door. Even when it's closed, I still have light coming in from under my door and around the sides. She still sleeps with the hallway light on and she's almost 13.. I never acted the way she did when I was her age. She keeps saying that she's scared of the dark, whereas she's slept without that light on many times and she hasn't been diagnosed with anything. She throws a fit whenever I turn it off and cries and plays the victim and always says I have to have everything my way (which I don't) she's the kind of sibling that never listens to me and just walks all over me.

Oh, i understand this. My brother always plays x-box in the living room while im trying to sleep (we live in a very small house, my room is right down the hall) and is always screaming into his headset! Im a light sleeper so most noises wake me up, so when he yells i tell him to be quiet and he just keeps it up,,, i swear i get no sleep because of him!

Aww, I feel you. Our house is medium sized but her bedroom is right next to mine. With that hallway light on, it's hard for me to fall asleep and I'm usually a heavy sleeper. Sometimes I don't get to sleep until midnight because of her. I don't know how she manages to sleep with the hallway light on and have her door open because I think it's way too bright! I really hope she grows out of this soon because it's getting ridiculous!

After 7 months of only cell internet we finally got stable internet so I could game with my friends back home in England...Then I fell and ripped some tendons in my wrist, so that's not happening....ugh.

[Mermaid Alea]

Oww I hope you make a full recovery and I also hope you aren't in too much pain.

Thank you, the pain isn't too bad at all as long as I keep taking ibuprofen, just very annoying that I can't game haha.

Guys I'm getting pissed, and my patience is usually that of a saint. I ordered a basic silicone tail from merrowfins, and after 3 months I get contact that "your tail is almost finished!" I'm elated! A few months go by and i keep checking his insta, and nothing. I think maybe hes just not posting as much, whatever it is what it is. Month 5 rolls around and I ask for a status. Nothing. Ok?? I dont want to pester him (I've read horror stories of this) so I just let it be. Month 7 rolls around (you read that right, month 7), and get the "your tail will be shipped out this week!!" Awesome!!! Super pumped. Fast forward to today. It's been over 8 months since I ordered the tail. I understand people get busy, and after a poll within his clientele, it seemed like his turnaround time was roughly 4 months. But I'm at 8 months and 5 days. MONTH 8. And no shipping information which leads me to believe he didn't ship it at all. I'm frustrated at this point and I ended up snagging a seethroughsea tail instead (a used one, but new enough for me). Now I'm fully intending on selling this merrowfins tail immediately to pay for my STS tail (the prices were almost identical). Lets be honest, a full silicone tail for a basic silicone tail? Theres no comparison. While im more than thrilled and happy with my STS tail, I'm still a mix of betrayed, upset, frustrated, ect with merrowfins. Is this a justifiable thing to be frustrated at? Ugh.

[Mermaid Whisper]

It is absolutely justified to be upset about something like this. Basic silicone tails typically take a matter of weeks on up to 3 months because, well, they’re basic. No custom molds, super detailed paint jobs, often no bells and whistles either. That’s why they’re inexpensive as well as why they go out fast.

Unfortunately, this tailmaker has a history of long wait times and questionable output. All the same, I’m sorry this happened to you, but I’m glad you got a STS to help make up for it!

Woow lunabelle I'm sorry that happened did he ever even send you photos of it? I would leave a negative review tbh. AND review how the tail comes in (whenever it actually does).

I got 1 photo last month, and honestly every month it's not here, I edit my rating by 1 star. I feel like I've been taken advantage of tbh.

I’ve had the hardest half a year of my life. I moved far away to help a friend then had a falling out was homeless and then finally got things together and lined up for me and two hurricanes devastate my new home i worked hard to create. I lost my home and had no cell service or internet for months. I’m crashing at boss’s place and now I’m making hardly any money at work because business is low and we are all struggling really hard and i haven’t worn my tail in 3 months. I’ve only been swimming twice since September when i used to swim weekly and mermaid every other week. I’m really frustrated but somehow holding it together. Life sucks sometimes and i just need to vent it out. I said i was leaving the mermaid community because the first time i get internet for an hour all i see is mermaid bullshit and bullying and i couldnt take it. After going through the worst storms of the Atlantic in history and seeing my new home destroyed and in ruins then no contact to the outside world and no power or running water (even now we still don’t have it back yet) i couldnt take it and i left the community. I’m not sure what to really do from here honestly i still feel like I’m stuck in September living day by day

I wouldn't normally post on here about things that are going on in my life, but something that happened recently has upset me quite a bit.
As some of you may know, I'm a closeted nonbinary/"lesbian" (I like girls and other NBs) living in a rather strict Christian home.

A few days ago, my parents and I were going shopping. We were standing in line at the cashier, when my dad must have noticed the lesbian couple in front of us holding hands (one of the ladies was also wearing a backpack with several pride pins on it). As they were finishing up at the cashier, my dad suddenly said "Hope you enjoy Hell". The couple was immediately shocked and started to argue with him. It blew up a bit, and I just stood there helplessly wishing I could stand up for them.
It really upset me on a personal level knowing my dad would hate me if he knew I was gay. We'd already recently established that I wasn't a Christian, and it turned out horribly. My parents are still pressuring me to "prioritize my life for God" and banning me from any non-Christian extra astronomy and science classes I was taking online ("bad influence"). I have no idea how they'd react if they found out. My best friend and partner was the one who brought me out of my own closet to accept myself, and my parents know they are LGBT. I'm scared that they'd ban me from talking to them.

I know there are a lot of Christians on here, and that's okay. I don't hate Christians, but I'm guessing they will probably not fully understand my concern. Please don't try and use the God card in response to this, that's all I ask.

Alrighty, that's all I have to say...

That actually happened??? My own views on sexuality aside, there's no defending that kind of behaviour to people just minding their own business, or that insistence you live in a bubble.

Some encouragement from Robert A Heinlein:

When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

Let me know by PM if you want to talk
