Hello and welcome to my mermaid grotto!! I am a Mermaid otherkin! I made this Blog to find other (mer)folk like me and make new friends! I am closeted right now and have only told one person I want to find and build a community so I dont feel so alone anymore, but also educate others and help get rid of the stigma of being other kin. Im looking for moots and love asks so feel free to ask me anything!!!

My Experience
How I experience being other kin is on a more physical level, I know I am a human tho I deeply yearn to be a mermaid, and I feel like I'm in the wrong body. I get leg dysmorphia very often, so I will sit in a way that mimics a mermaid, using a blanket to make a makeshift tail, and I sleep with my legs together to mimic a mermaid tail. I feel a deep longing for the ocean and all of the seas, and I often hyperfixate on different sea creatures. ever snice was a child, I OFTEN would draw mermaids and watch mermaid media, one of the few times I feel seen.
Due to this, I realized I was different very early on in life, but never knew what it was called until I was 15, having my own friends corner me asking me if i was otherkin due to the sheer amount of mermaid stuff i have and how much i would say "i wish i was a mermaid."
I plan to get a mermaid tail and get into mermaiding to help. I have a very modded Minecraft game where I have a mermaid tail, and watch LOTS OF MERMAID STUFF (oh and all of the shells jewels collection from Flower Knows lol)
Thank You for reading and I hope you enjoy your stay!
