Mermaid National Athem

In an effort to create something all of us merfolk (and fin-friends ;)) could celebrate around the world for FINdependence Day (regardless of country), I mad...

Shello friends!! Happy Mermaid Monday! . Inspired by the desire to create an inter/national anthem which all mers & mer-friends could celebrate for FINdependence Day (regardless of who, when or where), I made a little something new last week!   Using a tune many of us know & made to look like one of those old-school TV spots that came on at the end of the night as the channel went off, this was Initially recorded on TikTok, but taken outside of the app so everyone could see and share it. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqaxZ9kzQEI . I wrote the lyrics, created the flag, voiced the announcer, & yup, that's also me singing.   It's my hope that not only will fellow TikToking mers duet it, create their own videos to the audio on TikTok, etc., (where I'm @ylluria too, in case ya wanna join forces- RAH! XD), but also that other mers & water/eco-loving folks on social media will like, create with, & share too! XD   . All I ask is that if people do play with it, that they credit & link to me- wherever they saw it.  That way folks will know not only who originally made it & where to find me, but also so I can see where this travels, & we can create a super rad NETwork of creative, cooperative merfolk! XD

If you wanna find me on other platforms, I’d love to keep in touch! ^_^

Come say hi on: My website: ylluria.weebly.com Facebook:  facebook.com/mermaidylluria YouTube:  youtube.com/ylluriawatersong IG, TikTok, Twitter & Snapchat: @ylluria and of course, Tumblr, @mermaidylluria! ^_^ I deeply hope this resonates with you, & that whether you decide to create something in conjunction with me, or just sit down & listen, that you'll enjoy it, and possibly Share it with others, if you do.   . Happy, safe, peaceful & magickal FINdependence Day, no matter who or where you are or what you celebrate! And a most mer-ry Mer/Maid/Man Monday, all!!  ☼ .

I don't think I enjoy any week more than I do shark week. I love shark week. I love the ocean so much. If I were better at science, I'd totally change my major to marine biology. You have no idea. Fish, oceans, archaeology and various movies and video games are all I talk about. Confirm this with my friends. I'm not lying. I even changed my career path to marine archaeology/ underwater excavation. Oceans are vital to human survival and are a largely unexplored area that takes up more than 70% of our planet. We've explored more of space than we have of the ocean, and we freaking live on the same planet as it. The ocean is vast and beautiful; it's deep and fathomless, and deadly as hell, but alluring. And it' contains some of the most fragile ecosystems on earth. One temperature change can wipe out vast amounts of coral and other things. Over fishing one species of fish can lead to mass rises in population counts of other fish that lead to devastating problems within the ecosystem. The ocean provides much of the land with extremely valuable food sources and even more importantly medical breakthroughs that save thousands of lives. Without a healthy ocean, our planet would be fucked. I love the ocean more than Anything on this planet. And I'll fight 10,000 motherfuckers to protect it.
