Good drawings of bad horses

It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable (unless that is an error, thanks tumblr)

Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!

Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!

I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.

The original post was pardoned, but the shadowban still persisted and every reblog was hidden from the dash and flagged explicit. I'm not sure if it recovered by now, or if it's always going to be at risk of banning.

So whatever staff reviewed my complaint agreed that it wasn't explicit. So thank you for that, moderator. This highlights that the problem starts with bad actors reporting anything they don't like, and that it's a tossup if your appeal is seen by a bot, a normal human, or a bigot.

I'm grateful I can still touch people and spread positivity. Many of my queer siblings, brothers, and sisters - especially trans sisters - can't say the same.

But no matter what happens, we will always have each other. Every letter in our alphabet is a pillar holding up a beautiful world that only stands if we're all in it together. The rest of society may call you a monster, but it calls me one too. Maybe you won't hear it from the rest of them, but listen and you will hear it from me.

I love you.

Thank you to all my followers and patrons for celebrating mermay with me. It's been another awesome year. Here is the directory of all the mermaids I have made so far, and other relevant links!

Originally, mermaids evolved to mimic the beauty standards of humans in their regions. But now, mermaids look however they want without caring how humans think they "should."

Some mermaids happen to fit modern human preferences, to the chagrin of insecure people everywhere. Though many humans and mermaids have successfully courted each other... They are still formidable predators with endless defense systems, should you overstep.

While not human, mermaids are still people. Treat them as such.

The Longspine Porcupinefish isn't the only pufferfish in the sea.

The Guineafowl Pufferfish tends to come in two color morphs: dark with light spots, and gold. This individual is a rare third morph: a combination of the two colors in a single person. Combined with the lovely frilled fins and warm personality, this mermaid is the winner of much undersea fame.

What are You lookin at?

Sturgeon are massive freshwater mermaids with armored scutes across their fish and humanoid body.

Mermaid Evolution

Mermaids are completely unrelated to humans, rather they are fish with adaptions in mimicry. The ancestor was a large, ancient fish that preyed on wayward sailors with disorienting shrieks.

As time went on, they rearranged their bodies and minds to more closely resemble humans. Their gills detached from their skull and created a resonating cavity that turned their shrieks to song. Their fins changed to resemble appendages, including splitting the base in two and creating a pouch that could be filled with water, resembling a human chest when displaying.

Be careful when sailing, and when you hear a song that sounds too beautiful for human lungs, it is. Alter your course, and pray it doesn’t follow.
