If mermaids are half fish, half human… why don’t we ever see the fish-on-top, legs-on-bottom version
Because there’s no sea creature that looks like a fish head with human legs. Manatees look like human torsos with fish legs. If you see a manatee from above the water, you’ll understand why a sailor might think they saw a mermaid. All mythological creatures sort of resemble real animals.
Yeah, in reality, mythological creatures often borrow traits from real animals. Sailors were seeing manatees or dugongs from above round head, arm-like flippers, a swishing tail and their brains filled in the rest. Add months at sea, bad lighting, and a little wishful thinking… and suddenly, mermaids exist.
😂🤣😭 Can’t even think of what to type back atm.
Mermaid: not enough fish to eat, not enough woman to love.

Plenty of legs to run away, no lips to kiss goodbye 🐟🦵😂
Well, there was an appearance in that one episode of Red Dwarf…but it was the object of desire for the creature descended from the ship’s cat, so…
Exactly…… proof that even in space, someone’s into the weird stuff
Because no sailor’s gonna fall in love with a trout in skinny jeans 🐟👖😂
What about a reverse centaur? Would it be a horse head on a human torso or would it still have four legs but human legs?
Tikbalang, a creature in Filipino folklore
Reverse centaur? Nah, that’s just a horse that’s really bad at cosplay 🐴🦵
There’s a bar near me that has a very large reverse mermaid painted on the front, and just yesterday I met a woman with a reverse mermaid tattooed on her arm…
Maybe you just aren’t looking hard enough!
Guess the reverse mermaid is out here breaking all the rules and the tattoos! Maybe it’s just playing hard to find 😉🦀
If this were a rom-com, that woman (or maybe OP?) would turn out to be your soul mate, but only after you encounter some sort of setback in your relationship during the third act.
🤣 Okayyyyyyy
Because of many reasons. One of them being that fish don’t talk so they wouldn’t be able to sing.
Another is that top fish bottom human is the worst of both. Bad swimming and bad walking.
I had thought one more but I forgot in when I imagined a top fish bottom human mermaid twerking attract sailors
Yeah… until you imagine one twerking on the pier to lure sailors in. Whole new level of sea shanty 🐟🦵💃⚓
No boobs?
Reverse mermaid? Yeah… that’s just a seafood platter with legs
Nobody ever talks about the left/right mermaid.
Yeah, nobody’s ready for the half-and-half mermaid fish on the left, party on the right 🐟💃
Because sailors never got drunk enough to see that version.Edit: Let me revise that to say “Because sailors never got drunk enough to admit seeing that version when they got drunk enough to see it.”
😂 So basically, the reverse mermaid is the ultimate secret only revealed after just enough rum, but never enough courage to admit it! 🥃🧜♂️🍻
just enough rum
This does not exist.
There is only “just one more rum,” followed by “that was too much rum.”
Exactly! ‘Just enough rum’ is a myth it’s always ‘one more rum’ until the ship starts spinning! 🥃😂
“Where did I park my boat?”
–Me, allegedly, a few times.
Classic sailor move! At least it’s easier to find your boat than your car after a night out… unless the tide’s got other plans 🌊
Prolly because you can’t fap to a bikini top on a fish.
I mean guess you could if you try hard enough.
It’s probably be a regular fish body, on top of a human bottom half in a thong
Boy do I have a guy for you!
Anyway, hated the first fight against this bastard
Persona?
Close, Metaphor Refantasio
