Hey guys, gals and non-binary pals.

I think it's about time that I reveal myself as properly identifying as Mermaidkin. This is something that was probably pretty obvious to most of you but I'm putting it out there anyway lol.

More details in the alt text. (Art by @aquaglubs.bsky.social)
Mermaids back when I was a young child were something that mystified me, but also made me afraid, in a way that isn't very well explained. Perhaps really I was just afraid of liking something that's considered stereotypically "girlish". From encounters I had with a quirky girl in second grade to when I was given conflicting emotions watching an episode of Tom & Jerry, I could never quite sort out my feelings with them. Something changed later down the road, when I got a cell phone from the first time. I browsed images of mermaids, scrolled for hours just admiring art on many different platforms. I was slowly being introduced to online circles for various fandoms, but due to me being highly socially awkward and afraid of the greater internet as a whole, I never branched out and befriended people online, unless you count Miiverse but none of those Wii U friends are in contact anymore lol. Later down the line, and when I realized I was transgender and I could comfortably partake in girly things, mermaids were the first thing I properly embraced. I felt at peace imaging myself drifting along the waves with a tail instead of legs. This was around the time when I first got a job as well, and I realized that with the money I earned, I could get art commissioned and fulfil the ideas that have been swimming in my brain for years. If I could enjoy all these mermaid drawings before, imagine how much I could enjoy them if they depicted... me. Maya the name was chosen long before Maya the character. If you've played Ace Attorney, you know the girl and how much I relate to her. Honestly the clownfish wasn't even my own idea, it was pitched to me by another friend, who created Maya's first ever piece. Over time, she's had a few small updates but is mostly the same as she was back in 2022. This means to be that she's truly just... perfect. She's me, I'm her. There's no one I'd rather be. Been listening to Tidal Tempest on loop, it's very fitting I think.

I do not "sing on rocks", I do not "lure sailors", I do not "sink ships". I FLOP all day and if I see a human, I TRANSFORM THEM.

Arguably the most iconic mermaid and it's about time I drew a full version of her, this is based on her classic look but I did consider drawing the remake or even my own take

Delphi and Ophelia finally found Sally!
A mermaid comic. Panel 1: A pink bag, a light pink wallet, and a pair of sunglasses sit on a light green towel on the beach. Two figures approach it. One is pointing and exclaims, "Look! That's gotta be Sally's stuff!" Panel 2: A light skinned, brunette woman with gold hear clips and a purple shirt shades her eyes and squints into the distance saying, "She has to be nearby..." Panel 3: A light skinned, dark brown haired, blue tailed mermaid is climbing out of the ocean onto a large dark rock. The woman from the beach yells, "There she is! SALLY! We are here to help you!" The mermaid shouts back, "Don't look at me! I'm hideous!" Panel 4: The woman cups her hands around her mouth and replies, "What!? But you look so pretty as a mermaid!" Panel 5: The mermaid looks over her shoulder, visibly crying, and replies, "Yeah duh, I'm the probably the prettiest mermaid ever! But my hair is #Ruined!" A small floating head of the other figure from the first panel, tan skinned and blonde hair in a ponytail comments, "How did she do that with her mouth?"

I draw them in the same outfits each time but I'll take todays post to acknowledge that Fiona and Morag do own multiple outfits, Heres Fiona in one of her Shell-Bra's she wears when her tube tops in the wash. I did one of her in water and out of water because I like drawing her.

If theres one thing to not do its annoy a woman who can light stuff on fire while underwater.
The left side depicts two mermaids talking underwater, The blue mermaid is holding a picture of the pink mermaid in a propeller hat and says "Look what I found." The pink mermaid replies "You give that back this instant!" The middle depicts the pink mermaid holding a lighter and burning the picture. The right side shows the blue mermaid looking confused asking "How does that even work?"
