can i have advice for mermaidkin :3 thank youuuuuuu
advice for a mermaid kin!
wear long skirts that remind you of your tail
spend lots of time in and around water
sing!! mermaids are known for singing, and you dont have to be good at it
wear accessories with seashells, scales, fishnets, and coins on them. these have always felt reminiscent of mermaids to me
listen to ocean noises, whale calls, and maybe even sea shanties
you can draw scales on your skin in marker, pen, or glitter pen, and marking color between your fingers looks like you have webbed hands! (first hand experience as a dragon)
eat seaweed, seafood, and things that remind you of what you ate in the ocean
*check her calendar *…Except this year, it falls on Good Friday. Oops 😅. So what to do, except wearing murmaid (goth version of syrenka fashion), and having a mermaid tea with vegetal sausages, and without fishes shaped chocolates? 😢
Merfolk kin moodboard :3 (a while back I kinfirmed a merfolk kintype with the help of early childhood memories (mainly having to do with me believing that I should be some sort of merfolk and having a weird obsession with them))
I’ll put a couple examples I’ve seen for the Mer Kin flag as ideas and while I’d accept it as the official flag for Mer Kin, I have ideas I want to share.
The first flag listed is good, in my opinion. I love the scales and the seven point star but I feel like it copies too much of the pride strip pattern that waaay too many flags seem to be defaulting to, again, in my very incredibly humble opinion.
The next one is, in my opinion, even more of a copy of the very boring stripe pattern as well as lacking the seven point star. The fin DOES get a clearer “Mer” message across, though.
The last photo is my amateur rough draft of my idea.
On the typical 3x5 flag template, a circle is at the center of, lines swirling from the circle to the lower left and upper right corners of the flag. In the center, a seven point star with a mer tail symbol in the middle.
In the upper left, the North Star would be seen. In the lower right, the southern cross. My reasoning being that using stars to navigate when traveling by sea is common and having both the northern star and southern cross is inclusive to everyone on the southern hemisphere.
The stars would be white, the outline of the swirls (I was trying to mimic the curve of a wave) along with the seven point star and mer fin would’ve black. The corner that has the northern star would start as a light sea foam green and fade into a blue that would eventually fade into purple once on the side with the southern cross.
Another idea is to remove the stars and put the moon in one corner (because of the effect it has on tides) and the mer fin in the other corner to avoid cramping the middle.
