If mermaids are half fish, half human… why don’t we ever see the fish-on-top, legs-on-bottom version

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 it’s just playing hard to find 😉🦀
RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Because sailors never got drunk enough to see that version.

😂 So basically, the reverse mermaid is the ultimate secret only revealed after just enough rum, but never enough courage to admit it! 🥃🧜♂️🍻
RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
just enough rum
This does not exist.
There is only “just one more rum,” followed by “that was too much rum.”

Mermaid: not enough fish to eat, not enough woman to love.
Jas@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Plenty of legs to run away, no lips to kiss goodbye 🐟🦵😂

Because no sailor’s gonna fall in love with a trout in skinny jeans 🐟👖😂

Prolly because you can’t fap to a bikini top on a fish.
I mean guess you could if you try had enough.

It’s probably be a regular fish body, on top of a human bottom half in a thong

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, that’s just a horse that’s really bad at cosplay 🐴🦵
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
No boobs?
Jas@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Reverse mermaid? Yeah… that’s just a seafood platter with legs
cosmictrickster@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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…
Jas@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Exactly…… proof that even in space, someone’s into the weird stuff
notarobot@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
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
Jas@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Yeah… until you imagine one twerking on the pier to lure sailors in. Whole new level of sea shanty 🐟🦵💃⚓
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
Jas@lemmy.zip 3 weeks 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.
