It is not often that I am called upon for a research mission, much less one for the Crown. It seems my writing from a year prior has attracted attention from high places. And it seems someone has found something intriguing that requires my expertise. So, I am to make my way to the Capital.
Luckily I am not needed urgently. Bones are unlikely to wander away if I delay, so I have some liberty to explore, observe, and catalog as I please, which I will happily do so. There have been other observations I have made prior commitments towards, and no matter now great the Crown sees their new acquisition, their time is no more important to me than any of my other colleagues.
My friend, Dr. Branston, has made her thoughts clear. She has warned me to be warry of whatever the crown may wish to show me, for they tend to not understand the ethics scientists like us take into consideration. While I appreciate the warning, I am disappointed she declined my invitation to come with me. Apparently she is not in good standings with the Crown. Regardless, I look forward to our time together on our vacation along the coast.
In any case, I welcome the public to read my thoughts and observations as I fulfill my commitments, and when I arrive to the Crown. Merms are creatures to behold, and the response I received prior was both humbling and cherished.

I got the official MerMay Prompt list from Instagram
Tumblr media
That being said, who's gonna participate this year? I know I am. The first time I got into MerMay I didn't have a prompt list and spent the month practicing how to draw mermaid tails. 🧜🏽‍♀️

MoonMermay || Day 15: Pastel
I'm so sad the last uploads are happening so late, but I really wanted to conclude this piece today, and I'm pretty sure Mirage is my top favourite so far together with Shana! The theme inspired so many combinations between shapes and the pose and the palettes, in fact you can see the three color variations ahead!
Which one is your favourite?
This challenge is hosted by @ledahavasi and @aia.naiya on Instagram.

Mermaids and Mermen
Happy Mermay!
1. Scientist works at a rehabilitation facility for injured cryptids and creatures. They’re newest addition to the family is a mer, something they’ve never seen at the facility before.
2. The Pirate Captain has always seen mers as pests. If they’re not trying to drown his men, they’re damaging the ship’s hull or throwing them off course. His policy has always been cannon fire or harpoons, but everything changes when he’s is forced overboard by a mutinous crew in the middle of pod of mermaid.
3. Merperson has made a life for themself as a human in the west, far away from the sea that holds the secret of their true form. But when a potion shipment involving sea water prompts them to transform, they must do their best to conceal the truth from the wild west’s many cutthroats and opportunists while searching for a new spell to get their legs back.
4. It’s a royal alliance like any other, a prince and princess arranged in marriage for the peace and good of their kingdoms. Except one is a human and the other a merperson. As the Mer is the heir to the throne, it’s obvious it should be the human who moves to their kingdom. Underwater. The mers assure them that it’s an entirely possible though admittedly painful transformation process.
5. Mer is the property of an underground fighting ring where different sea creatures are pitted against each other for the gambling amusement of the pirates and fisherman that come into port. Mer has become hardened and savage, never hesitating to tear someone or something apart before they get torn apart first. But when a fresh mer is captured, Mer recognizes them, and they’ll do anything to protect them.
6. Mer is the property of an underground fighting ring where different sea creatures are pitted against each other for the gambling amusement of the pirates and fisherman that come into port. Though they’ve become hardened and savage, they have also grown close to one of their competitors. Though they’re forced to fight often, they tend to each others wounds outside the ring and pray their handlers never realize they’re pulling their punches.
7. The villain tries to feed the hero to the captive carnivorous mers swimming beneath their floors. Joke’s on them though, because one of these mers is the hero’s long lost lover and they’ve been looking for them everywhere.
8. When their parents were hunted and killed, a whale type mermaid is adopted by regular mermaids as a baby. Despite the massive—pun intended—accommodations made to shelter them, their adopted family has always been determined to make sure they are loved and taken care of. But that doesn’t stop Mer from having problems with other mers or from wondering about their own kind.
9. A carnivorous mer and a herbivore mer are captured and sold to a collector. Despite their differing instincts and backgrounds, they must rely on each other to find freedom.
10. A mer from the deep sea is washed ashore in a small fishing village. Though their unconventional appearance makes them abhorrent to many of the townspeople, a visiting scholar takes the displaced mer into their home and offers them kindness, as well as a few hundred questions.

Hi sorry I sent my last ask to early, I want to write about a couple where one of them is a mermaid and the other gets turned into a mermaid in a more modern setting but I’m blanking on ideas for it. Any suggestions?
Hi :)
No problem. I have never thought about someone getting turned into a mermaid. So I'll try to come up with some ideas for you.
Turning into a Mermaid Prompts
The human is an environmental activist trying to clean the ocean. Their fight for a cleaner place for everything that lives in the ocean doesn't go unnoticed by the mermaids and they want to show their appreciation and invite them into their world.
A boat gets into trouble on the open sea. When the human falls overboard they think it's over for them, because they can't swim. But suddenly they can breathe under water and they realize that they are not alone.
Their grandmother gave them a locket before she mysteriously left the family. After one too many fights with their parents they run away to their grandmother's favourite place - the ocean. There they find some people very interested in the locket they have.
It's a common practice for mermaids to spend one year on land before returning to the sea forever. It's also common that they fall in love with humans and want to bring them with them.
The human finds a shell on the beach that feels almost alive. When they go into the water to clean it, they fall over, suddenly missing their feet and legs.
Being in love with a mermaid is like a long distance relationship and they don't want to spend another day separated from each other anymore. So they have to come up with a plan to live with each other.
Hope you like them!

As I was finishing up an expedition with my coleuge, Dr. Branston, she was endlessly gushing about the success of her textbook and research journal. It got the people interested in her works, and in dragons as a whole.
On her suggestion, I will begin my own work, on hopes it might generate the same interest in Merms. They're beautiful creatures, so diverse in shape and behaviors, such an alien intelligence behind their eyes. It is not fair the public writes them off as mindless monsters, or some kind of evil tempter. They are many things, but evil most certainly isn't one of them, not if my observations, and the observations of my fellow researchers, have anything to say about it.
For the reading public, I publish a chronical of my life's work, from my work in the Merm Rehabilitation and Rescue Center, to my ongoing work as a researcher into their behavior and environments.

SKY MERMAY 2023.
W1: BUTTERFLY W2: CRAB W3: JELLYFISH W4: KRILL W5: MANTA
Last year, I hosted a Sky-themed MerMay challenge on Instagram! I designed these characters as my own entries for it, but due to interest/energy issues (worsened by Dopamine Jail at the time), I unfortunately had to leave it unfinished. Since then, I've been yearning to show off these lovely characters, as there was a lot of joy designing them out in my old backyard. So I made this doodle with some rough marker rendering.
They now have a place within the Sky Kingdom, as a semi-secret society of Light Children who switch between capes and mermaid tails. Sort of like the hypogrypths in My Little Pony G4! They all worship ASEA, the goddess of ABZU whom Tapushea was split from, which is how they switch between air and water.
