Mermaids Are Real!

[Hulaette]

I have begun doing research on mermaids and everything about them. I would like to see this thread get into a deep discussion on your thoughts and knowledge.

Please keep this thread friendly and comfortable for everyone to read. I kindly ask you to not bring any arguments into this thread as it may get heated. I will ignore continued ignorant meaningless comments because it interferes with constructive discussions.

I thought mermaids were the hallucinations of sailors who have been out at sea for too long. Like, they'd see a manatee and imagine it as a beautiful woman because they themselves haven't seen one in a while xD And they were getting kinda desperate

They are XD

Yep. Mermaids could not physically exist.

With how deep the ocean is I can't see why merpeople couldn't exist. I'm not saying they do, but it's possible. I certainly wouldn't argue against them existing. That being said I highly doubt they look anything like we common portray them. By that I mean the typical human but with a fish tail. I like to imagine they live deep in the ocean which would explain why we have apparently never seen them. Because I imagine them to be deep-sea creatures I do picture them being creepy looking.

I agree with Moddie. If they did somehow exist, they wouldn't be how we see them

Merpeople are too scared of humans to swim near the surface or the shore. Even if one does one up to the shore their fins transform into legs if they are dry.

They will have people legs and the body of an angler fish.

"Why can't the fish part be on the top, and the lady part be on the bottom?!"

I like the Harry Potter mermaids.

seeing a mermaid is considered a bad omen in some folklore this includes on coming storms, floods ship wrecks as well as drowning and some can be very benevolent

so watch out c:

 

[Temari]

OP please show me where you are getting these sources and then I might slightly believe you a little less.

 

[badcrumbs]

Yes, I honestly want to see where this is coming from when you get back online.


And if you say that Discovery 'documentary', I swear to god...

LOL that I still find it funny that people legit thought it was real kek


also if mermaid were real I can't see them being those fairy tale/disney kind
I see them having a face with more fish like features but still having human like features as well
they'd still probably stay far away from humans but they would have no problem dragging a human down to a watery grave if they need to. and then dinning on the flesh of the now dead human.

also they would be able to cause sailors to hallucinate and see them as a beautiful woman and when they try getting closer the effects where off and they see the truly terrifying creature in front of them the sailor will attempt to get away but it's too late the mermaid grabs a hold of them and drowns them like stated above

 

[pillow bunny]

actually the op is probably like 8 so I think we should stop being so hard on them.

 

[tumut]

They would probably smell disgusting.
