Guys pls ask me about mermaids, talk to me about your favorite kinds of mermaids bc i am BUZZING with excitement now that my brain has kicked my special interest into full gear.

[fieryhotpotato]

hey archie will you tell me about mermaids?

[the-archivist-14]

Ofc!! Thank you for letting me info dumpppp!! (Also so sorry it took so long to reblog, genuinely I’m so tired today but wanted to get to this eventually)!!

Ok- so honestly I think the thing I like most about mermaids is genuinely how versatile they can be in stories!! Like- they’re such a cool concept that you can basically do anything with and it would make sense! While vampires and werewolves have descended into a very narrow box (vampires and werewolves actually have a very rich history of rules and magical powers that I could also talk for hours about but they’re most recognizable as “if it sucks blood, doesn’t like garlic, and hates sunlight it’s a vampire, if it transforms into a big wolf or something wolf adjacent it’s a werewolf” (not to disregard or disrespect werewolves or vamps btw) of recognizable, mermaids can be whatever and it would still make sense!

Like you could go the “sea-life-anatomically correct” version with the human features very less recognizable and more prominent fish features that can still be a mermaid and it makes sense and be very interesting! Especially if you’re going on a more scientific route or want an organic design to your mermaid! Or you could make the design more like a traditional mermaid and that would make sense bc we’re assuming the reason for them is magic and so we just let them be beautiful and magical underwater! And so many things count as mermaids (merfolk more like) like the Selkie who are seals that shed their skin to become human and imo very slept on.

Then there’s also my favorite version of the mermaid: the siren!

To be continued….

NO COME BACK I WANNA LEARN MORE

[the-archivist-14]

I’m backkkkkk,

Ok so sirens are actually really interesting, especially when it comes to mermaid-sirens. A lot of people who are big Greek Mythology fans will tell you that the sirens were actually just the harpy-like sirens from the Odyssey and other stories featuring them! Fun fact, it’s very likely that the renaissance paintings depicting the sirens as naked women crawling from the sea onto Odysseus’ boat definitely contributed to the morphing of sirens into evil mermaids but there are also other myths with “evil mermaid” variants of sirens like the myth about a siren named Lorelei!

Lorelei is about a woman who realizes her lover is unfaithful and throws herself into a river and becomes a siren and lures people to their doom! It’s apparently bc of a rock that produces an echo that stands in the river the myth is based on!

From what I can tell apparently some medieval people used sirens as a synonym from mermaids (learned from Wikipedia) but- take that with a grain of salt bc it is from Wikipedia, anyway! Thank you for asking me!

does anyone have book recs for me?

[fieryhotpotato]

MY TIME HAS COME

okay I wanna preface this by saying I am primarily a fantasy and mystery reader. HOWEVER.

Project Hail Mary!!! I think the movie just came out, but this one is written by Andy weir (who wrote the Martian) and is one of my favorite books of all time ever!! I highly recommend listening to the audiobook if you like those, otherwise the regular one is amazing as well.

if you want some fantasy, murder mystery, or romance (spice or not) I have plenty of recs!! (I also have an entire shelf for queer romances so I’ve got plenty of those as well lmk!!!)

Chose the oc that looks the most like me so this is Harley and other than the hair being a little long and looking wayyyy cooler than I look irl, this is basically the closest you’ll ever get a glimpse of me outside of the hellscape.

Also the pin means her sexuality not mine, I identify as bisexual

Open tags :)

[fieryhotpotato]

this is as close as I could get to me— my hair is a little less thick and the color is more faded, but otherwise I’d say pretty accurate!

open tags, but especially my mutuals!!

[fieryhotpotato]

sometimes I wonder why people think I’m mad and then I remember my rbf is so bad I be looking like this

adhd protein breakfasts?

hi adhd creatures,

I recently got an adhd coach who reminded me the importance of getting protein, especially early in the morning so I thought I’d share a couple of my protein breakfasts and ask for some more recs!

ham (or meat of choice) and cheese grilled sandwich—this one is pretty simple but tasty and gets protein in pretty quick

greek yogurt with a spoonful of peanut butter, a crap ton of honey, and some chocolate chips—one bowl, super easy

toast and a protein drink/shake—pretty easy and good if you’re not into meat/eggs

leftover dinner (something with meat, ideally)

this is just a couple ideas that I like, of course you do you (also eggs are great, I just can’t eat them plain but if you can go for that!)

anyone have other suggestions? im getting bored of my current options (ideally something quick or that can be mostly made night before)

[fintan-pyren]

Obviously blonde4blonde ships are fucked up and scary, but it's important to remember that fiction isn't reality. Many people enjoy things in fiction that would be fucked up irl, and writing blonde4blonde ships doesn't inherently mean that someone is actually okay with two blonde people dating in real life.

yep! which was why i made this post :)
