there are many benefits to being a marine biologist
[Image ID/ Tweet from Giselle (@/ giselleDraws) on Apr 30, 2018 reading: A marine biologist I know signs his emails off with “Best fishes,” and this pleases me enormously. /End ID]
COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!
It’s come to my attention that I’m broke, so here’s my new and improved commission info!
Feel free to DM if you are interested or have questions!
Reblogs very welcome :D

[Image Description: A drawing of a shark. Its head is sticking up from the bottom of the image. Its mouth is mostly closed and it is looking up. There is a thought bubble to the right of its head. It says, “Ah. Fuck.” /.End ID]
Anyone up for an OC fact swap?
Send me an ask with a fact about your OC and i’ll reply with a similar fact for mine
Sharks live in salt water because pepper water would make them sneeze
a concept: me, you, at an aquarium holding hands and looking at sea turtles
what if we kimssed,,,
and we were both sharks
[image description: a picture taken from below two sharks resting on glass. the sharks are laying next to each other and facing opposite directions, with their heads on each others' fins. end description.]
how do you get all the way through marine biology college or whatever and not realize the “sharks are smooth” guy is doing a bit
it’s because he isn’t doing a bit sharks are just smooth
tired: mermaids are all women
wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty
inspired: merfolk actually have very different concepts of gender to humans because they're an entirely different species with their own unique culture
marine scientist: what's your gender?
merperson: what's a gender
marine scientist: like, are you a man or a woman?
merperson: i'm merfolk
marine scientist: no, like, what's in your pants?
merperson: i don't... wear any? i don't have legs?
It’s a biological fact that fish do indeed change their sex to keep the male/female ratio balanced in their school population. So this fluidity actually makes more sense from a scientific standpoint than the silly idea that merfolk are born with a strictly assigned sex like humans.
Merfolk are all canonically genderfluid and we love them for that
Ah, to breathe water like air, and to be lying at the bottom of the sea where no one can touch me, surrounded by sharks as they are my companions, algae in my hair and salt in my lungs, but all in all to be truly at peace.
guys listen
mermaids would have to be dark-skinned and chubby to survive in the ocean
water isnt a great means of protecting oneself from the sun theyd have to be very dark if they were shallow mermaids and they didnt want to be constantly sunburnt and they may be paler if they lived deeper in the water but theyd have to be buff and/or chubby as hell to resist the water pressure and cold of the deep sea
what im saying is pale-ass white skinny mermaids are just unrealistic
I love this tea
Fat isn’t a defense against water pressure, it’s an insulator. So the colder the water, the fatter the mermaid.
Scandinavian merfolk would be tubby, evolving more for persistence hunting in the freezing coastal waters, possibly relying more on siren-song to lull prey into effective range. The less moving the better! Gotta keep the chub on to survive the winter.
Whereas Mediterranean/Polynesian merfolk would spend their time among the fertile reefs in warmer waters, competing with other predators. They would be built for speed and agility, buff like sprinters. Darker skin would be harder to spot under the surf, and more resistant to the glaring sun.
Also: it’s not hair, it’s scillia that they use to filter plankton out of the water, and it stings like a jellyfish if you touch it.
I would imagine that merfolk come in many different colors, maybe they even have the ability to shift their skin tone to assist in hunting? I guess that depends on how intelligent your mermaids are.
Tldr; cold water mermaids would probably be chubby, warm water mermaids would look like Serna Williams.
Another thing to take into account is Deep-Sea-Gigantism. It’s not fully understood why many animal species such as the colossal squid and whales typically grow to unimaginable sizes in high-water-pressure areas, but it’s assumed that it develops as some sort of defense mechanism. This would imply that deep-sea merfolk would be a sort of Leviathan-class eldritch horror.
Hell yeah hell yeah
