if you could choose any particular sea to inhabit as a mermaid, which would it be? alternatively, what are your favorite songs that make you feel like you’re a siren at sea? 💗
what an enchanting question!! I both love the thought of living in warmer waters and colorful sea-life but the thought of being hidden amongst glacial icecaps also appeals to me so I think ideally I’d follow a pod of whales along their migration route throughout the year and get the best of both marine habitats!!!
probably the gray whale migration route so I can play with seals in kelp forests and bask in the sun (pacific ocean), then play hide and seek with polar bear cubs under the ice (arctic ocean), and play with whale calfs in between (sea of cortés or the open ocean)!!! and then when I feel like a vacation I’d break off and explore the colorful coral reefs in the coral sea or the caribbean sea!!
yes I have absolutely thought/daydreamed about this very same question since I was a kid, no I am not apologizing for the MDU (mermaid daydream universe)
also, some songs that make me feel like a siren at sea:
Black Water Lillies — AURORA
Song Of The Sea — Lisa Hannigan
Riverside — Agnes Obel
Never Let Me Go — Florence + The Machine
The Disappearance of the Girl — PHILDEL (the mv is what my brain projects on loop)
Into the Dark — Between Mountains
Untitled — Sea Oleena
My Jolly Sailor Bold
Lighthouse — The Hush Sound (this one gives off haunting siren luring sailors down vibes especially)!!
