hello /tg/
i like mermaids
lets post some mermaids
i wisht his one didnt have a watermark, its pretty awesome
wow, the captchas are really getting irritating
anyone following?
hah this captcha had a mountain in my city
there should be more brightly colored mermaids like this. why are merfolk in MTG and dnd usually portrayed as boring colors?
does /tg/ like legged or finned merfolk?
im probably done for now. if anyone wants more ill come back
>>49879077
You have my attention, sir.
>>49879315
anything youre looking for in particular?
>>49879378
I dunno, but merfolk are cool.
>>49879077
I'm on board, for the moment
>>49879211
I'd say probably because many fish are silvery and not bright red, since predators exist.
>>49879226
I like fins
This is a freaking cool thread, how about more spoopy mermaid pictures?
>>49879856
No way, we need more waifu quality pics like >>49878774

>>49879943
So's your face.
>>49879987
Yeah, well your mom's face is even more like however you were trying to insult me just now.
>>49878665
>>49880048
This is incoherent.
>>49879856
You want creepy, huh?
>>49879211
Well, merfolk in MtG tend to be blue in coloration because they appear principally on blue cards, and the art direction likes to trend towards color schemes that heavily incorporate shades of the color of the card. (Red cards feature reddish stone rather than grey stone, orange fire rather than blue fire, etc.)
Some mermaids are also merderhobomaids.
>>49880368
murmaider?
>not sure if creepy or naughty
>maybe both
>>49880388
You know it.
This guy looks ready to do some murmaider.
>>49880400
I bet he's gonna kill some sea elves, 'cause nobody likes sea elves. Where's your tail, you stupid elf?
>>49878665
Now for more cuties.
someone should make a merfolk with these colors
>>49880508
this one is nice looking imo.
merfolk should have lots of fins going everywhere instead of hair. looks interesting
>>49880478
>By silver fish imperatrix and the power that was Undine!
That's an awesome picture. man.
Here's a crazy magic mermaid.
And I'm out of sea folk.

Thanks. Took me awhile to find the sauce, but she's apparently a god of war from Crowfall.

Wow thanks for the thread, OP. My next campaign has a lot of merfolk in the setting so this is great. Never used them much at all before. We'll be starting on a large northern lake that runs a lot of trade down river to towns along major deltas and such.
What do you think the dwellings of a lake bound mer population would look like? Their brackish ancestors migrated north along the rivers long ago due to sea temp changes and other threats.
>>49880844
lake merfolk eh? lakes are subject to serious temperature changes unlike the ocean, so they definately need houses. how about reed bungalows covered with mud and topped with water grasses? they can still use stone and concrete. concrete hardens underwater if you didnt know. they can use animal bones and shells. they can make like... beaver huts out of logs and sticks. hmmmm what else....
i making aquest hub with a desert merfolk village in a canyon river. they live in adobe houses on the shore and have big bathtubs for beds.
>>49880501
>Dear diary,
>Jackpot.
>>49880927
Yeah, I figured they'd need something sturdy and permanent because of the wild temperature shifts a northern lake would experience. They could probably aquire a lot of materials from trade with the land dwellers. This whole setting is very river/lake/mountain heavy and the merfolk are very well off from generations of ship lane management and mercenary contracts and the farming/selling of rare underwater plants used for everything from food to alchemy.
I'll have to go look up the invention of concrete, thanks man. And watch out for mermaids during spawning season. It's how Captain Bosch lost several fingers and an ear.

>concrete
take limestone, put it in a kiln, crush it into powder, done.
>>49881436
Word, easy enough.
>>49879943
Yeah well the day where I fuck your mom (i.e. every day) is an even more shit tier holiday
>>49881436
Doesn't that require heat and controlling the moisture level?
(I've read that one reason Roman concrete has lasted so long is that they used less moisture in their mixture, making for a harder and more durable concrete.)
>>49881378

I'm trying to work out an underwater campaign inspired by the aesthetics of John Carter of Mars, The Little Mermaid Disney films, and Dark Sun, with dashes of Lovecraft and Davey Jone's crew from PotC.
Essentially 99% of this world is now underwater after the sea levels rose a long time ago. The surface islands are ruled by savage beings like Lizardmen, and the only other survivng race from the surface are Humans who live in a few dry bubble cities deep underwater. The rest of the races are things like Crustacean-people. Tiny reef-fish people, half-sahuagin, dragonborn that resemble humanoid lionfish, sea elves, and weird deep sea tieflings. Clothing and metal is sparse, so they make do with what they have.
>>49883623
Never used mermaids in a campaign before. What's the best use for them?
>>49879226
I like legs.
>>49885073
Throatpussy
>>49886257
This.
A girl who can deepthroat you far enough to tickle your frenulum will have your toes curling backwards AND forwards.
>>49885073
So Mermaids are usually depicted as having horizontal tail. The only modern species today that have horizontal tails are sea mammals. This suggests that mermaids can have some traits of mammals on their lower halves. With that, I propose that merfolk genitalia are more similar to dolphins. Which would mean that mermaids would have a pussy you could fuck.
>>49886408
Could be. After all, didn´t the images of mermaids derive from sex starved sailors who mistook sea mammals for women?
>>49886448
I think so
>>49886482
>>49886482
I was just about to post these pics! Looks like you got it covered. Here, have a giant mermaid instead.
>>49886487
>>49886505
>>49886517
>>49886408
Eh, even if they don't, it'll be okay. They've got cute faces, mouths practiced at gulping and slurping, hands, and presumably fish tits, so it's all good
>>49886549
>>49884645
Obviously it wasn't a good idea to go skinny dipping in public. What were you thinking? Now you're going to look like an awkward idiot even if you'd need to be naked for what you plan to do next.
Especially if they turn you down.

Why did every artist on tumblr decide to use the exact same "stock Disney female character" face?
>>49886716
Holy shit do I remember that in my earlier days on tumblr.
>>49886723
What are you talking about? The only "Disney" faces I see is sharkie and the ones where they are drawing Ariel
Mermaids are the biggest threat in the ocean, in my setting. It's also the reason why the continents that are divided don't use conventional ships generally, but flying airships.
>>49883184
I once GM'ed a pirate themes campaign, sinbad style. One of the player characters was a mermaid/siren, that was utterly shit at the "enchanting sailors to their death", but had some nifty water magic, and was actually able to swim worth a damn.
It was quite funny, but the chick playing the mermaid was also an amazing roleplay.
this is a mermaid right?
I've always really liked this one.
post pics of places and locations where mermaids would approve living in
I've mostly got creepy deep sea mermaids, and much of the better ones I have have already been posted.

I remember one of my friends wanted to play a Merman Bard, who spent most of his time in a tub, singing raunchy sea-shanties.

>>49880655
That feel when you hit gold playing the best support in the game.
>>49891124
You already can buy that. Mermaid tails are widely available, including swimmable ones which work very well in water.
The Lunocet monofin allegedly lets you greatly out-swim a conventional swimmer even with flippers. I heard there were some supply problems recently but the fins themselves work just fine. Combine that with a little cosmetic design and you have your functional working mermaid suit.
Actress Daryl Hannah played a mermaid in the movie Splash. Apparently she had been a mermaid fetish when she was little and had learned how to bind her legs when swimming. So when filming occurred, she was out-swimming the safety divers in her mermaid costume. You can dig up the interview where she tells the story.

I don't have a lot of sea related art, sorry.
How do mermaids reproduce?
Unless the fins are like a second layer of clothing she steps out of.
I've always preferred mammalian mermaids. Like, porpoise people.
>>49895183
Absolutely disgusting.
>>49895080
>How do mermaids reproduce?
Like fish, or sea mammals. There's a huge variety of reproductive strategies in the sea, the whole salmon "spray eggs, spray sperm, swim away" isn't even the half of it.
>Unless the fins are like a second layer of clothing she steps out of.
That's not a proper mermaid, then, that's a witch of some kind. Who probably skinned a mermaid in order to acquire that shapechanging "clothing."
>>49895439
>There's a huge variety of reproductive strategies in the sea, the whole salmon "spray eggs, spray sperm, swim away" isn't even the half of it.
Where's the fun in that when you look, for the most part, like a human?
>>49895686
Yeah, that's kinda what I'm saying - salmon are dull. There's a lot more weird and wacky stuff going on in the sea than that, and many are a lot closer to how humans and sea mammals do it.
Abyssal mermaids can be cute, too.
They might still swallow you whole, but at least they'll look slightly less horrifying while they do it.

In order to gain the ability to form legs, they must first metaphorically 'steal' the legs of a land dweller in a sacrificial ritual killing.

Too bad we seem to have hit an image limit. I wonder if I should do a deep sea horror thread again, although I did do one only a month and a half ago.
Oh, and the absorption thing some anglerfish do? It's actually the male doing it. He secretes an enzyme that causes his own face to fuse with the female's skin.

New thread when?
>>49902917
I can make one when I get home. Mind you, I get new pictures pretty slowly and can only rephrase fun facts about deep sea critters in so many different ways, so I try to avoid making those threads too often. It might still be too soon from the last one.
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him up for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown
- Yeats
In my opinion, If you like Merfolk, you have to like Deep Ones.
Anyways here is some head-canon:
>Merfolk live near the surface and are the bohemian nomads of the sea. They are diplomatic and accompany sailing ships on long voyages.
>Deep Ones live in hierarchical feudalistic kingdoms on the ocean floor and have tenuous relations with mindflayers.
>Coves are typically "Holy Waters" for all oceanic races.
>Some other oceanic races build villages on the backs of leviathans.
>Only a select few oceanic races are capable of going up on to dry land. These are typically the product of magically-infused cross breeding.
