If mermaids are half fish, half human⊠why donât we ever see the fish-on-top, legs-on-bottom version
No boobs?
Reverse mermaid? Yeah⊠thatâs just a seafood platter with legs
Persona?
Close, Metaphor Refantasio
Mermaid: not enough fish to eat, not enough woman to love.
Plenty of legs to run away, no lips to kiss goodbye đđŠ”đ
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?
Reverse centaur? Nah, thatâs just a horse thatâs really bad at cosplay đŽđŠ”
đđ€Łđ
Because of many reasons. One of them being that fish donât talk so they wouldnât 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 đđŠ”đâ
Because no sailorâs gonna fall in love with a trout in skinny jeans đđđ
Because thereâs 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, youâll 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.
Prolly because you canât fap to a bikini top on a fish.
I mean guess you could if you try had enough.
Itâs probably be a regular fish body, on top of a human bottom half in a thong
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 itâs just playing hard to find đđŠ
Because sailors never got drunk enough to see that version.
đ So basically, the reverse mermaid is the ultimate secret only revealed after just enough rum, but never enough courage to admit it! đ„đ§ââïžđ»
just enough rum
This does not exist.
There is only âjust one more rum,â followed by âthat was too much rum.â
đ€Ł Okayyyyyyy

Well, there was an appearance in that one episode of Red DwarfâŠbut it was the object of desire for the creature descended from the shipâs cat, soâŠ
