Iconic seafarer beards became a trend to scare away pesky mermaids.

Mermaid, seeing a bald pirate: Zero threat…! Mermaid, seeing a hairy, bearded pirate: If I get too close their face tentacles will eat me…!

[otherwindow]

Most mermaids only grow short beards as not to scare baby mermaids (longer beards look like the tentacled mouths of hungry squids and octopuses).

Pirates use this innate fear to their advantage to protect themselves from mermaids, hence the iconic beards and hat:

I like how this is presented as factual information

[audacityinblack]

I actually figured that a mermaid’s hair was an extremely specialized first dorsal fin.

If you look at the structure of a fin, it actually separates into sections. In some fish, these sections can get extra long, in the form of stiff spines or soft, flexible rays. You can see this most prominently in species like the lionfish:

It’s entirely possible that these structures could become longer and thinner over time and come to resemble a human hair, at least from a distance.

This opens up interesting possibilities such as:

Poisonous hair

Flaring out the hair-spines to scare off predators

Mating displays involving aggressive hair flipping

A period in mermaid history where mohawks were all the rage

Writing your own world’s mythology sounds hard until you realize most mythologies are created on the “oh, haven’t you heard?” principle

[yourbitchystudentwriter]

Some ancient Greek dude: hey why are you pregnant? You aren’t married

The lady about to come up with zeus: oh haven’t you heard?

The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-

Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient

Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long

Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths

Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion

Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children

People used to sacrifice other people to appease it

Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes

[simitra1321]

Well. Shit.

[ek-vitki]

Oh damn

[nyokoko]

The sun does scream at us! I think NASA had a recording of what the sun actually sounds like.

what if magic was real but it was treated the way music is now with different genres and like “oh youre still into conjuring? thats cool I guess. recently ive been getting into third-wave post-necromancy, it’s some pretty heavy stuff”

[chorusofravenousangels]

“what do you mean you’ve never learned FIREBALL, it’s a CLASSIC” “idk I’m not really into evocations.” “how can you not be into ANY evocations?” “well, it’s kind of dad magic, isn’t it?”

american school bus things

yelling. all the time

food is everywhere ?

no seatbelts

dying in the winter because one of the windows is stuck and can’t be closed

dying in the summer because no one knows how to open the windows

slurs written on the back of seats

holes punched through the seats

upperclassmen in the back

the bus driver always slams on the brakes

kids falling and flying down the aisles

“riding the school bus is a privilege”

the guy who got suspended from the bus is somehow back

doing the evacuation drill on the most inconvenient day

bullying/watching kids get bullied is Inevitable

writing swear words backwards on the foggy window so people would read it as you passed by

sticking your entire body out the window

[sayanything666]

opening the windows is treated as a criminal offense

[imstunning]

flipping cars off as they drive by

[uncleinuyasha]

Bus driver taking a slightly different route and everyone panicking

[deadmomjokes]

The wasp that inevitably gets inside during summery weather and everyone screaming and running all over the bus and the driver telling everyone to sit the heck down cuz their freaking out is going to cause a wreck, and the wasp keeps flying straight for faces instead of the open windows.

[bara-ass-destroyer]

When one kid goes too far and the bus driver pulls over wherever the hell you are and yells for 15 minutes and making everybody late for school

Wonderful! Time for a celebration… Cheese for everyone! Wait, scratch that. Cheese for no one. That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don’t like cheese. True?
