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!

If this were a rom-com, that woman would turn out to be your soul mate, but only after you encounter some sort of setback in your relationship during the third act.

Guess the reverse mermaid is out here breaking all the rules and the tattoos! Maybe itās just playing hard to find šš¦

Mermaid: not enough fish to eat, not enough woman to love.

Plenty of legs to run away, no lips to kiss goodbye šš¦µš

Because sailors never got drunk enough to see that version.

š So basically, the reverse mermaid is the ultimate secret only revealed after just enough rum, but never enough courage to admit it! š„š§āāļøš»

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?
Jas@lemmy.zip āØ19ā© āØminutesā© ago
Reverse centaur? Nah, thatās just a horse thatās really bad at cosplay š“š¦µ

Prolly because you canāt fap to a bikini top on a fish.
I mean guess you could if you try had enough.
hddsx@lemmy.ca āØ8ā© āØhoursā© ago
Itās probably be a regular fish body, on top of a human bottom half in a thong
Jas@lemmy.zip āØ7ā© āØhoursā© ago
Because no sailorās gonna fall in love with a trout in skinny jeans ššš
notarobot@lemmy.zip āØ7ā© āØhoursā© ago
Because of many reasons. One of them being that fish donāt talk so they wouldnāt 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
Jas@lemmy.zip āØ18ā© āØminutesā© ago
Yeah⦠until you imagine one twerking on the pier to lure sailors in. Whole new level of sea shanty šš¦µšā

Because thereās 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, youāll understand why a sailor might think they saw a mermaid. All mythological creatures sort of resemble real animals.
Jas@lemmy.zip āØ7ā© āØhoursā© ago
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.

Monster from the game Metaphor: Refantazio. Itās a Human size fish with legs wearing boots
