The coolest thing ever

there are many young merfolk out there, so i felt the desire to create a badass elder for mermay :) she’s as much derived from as she is dedicated to the vuvalini of MMFR– i also sincerely hope she brings joy to my mutuals older than me who always delight and inspire me, and to all older women in fandom, really, who i continuously thought of while working on her

I know most of this must stem from catholic guilt, but honestly, I grew up in a catholic household where leaving votive offerings to saints was normal. Everything was fair play to offer: from a shitty drawing from a 3yo, to old clothes (it was normal to see old baby shoes or pacifiers). Candles, prayers, songs, plastic or natural flowers, letters, photos, cigarettes. You could see anything! Most of the times we didn't had anything to give so we just would go to church and help clean the place.

It's no different here.

Gods will not hate you for giving water, tea, soda or whatever instead of wine.

Gods will not curse you because you got distracted while praying, or got nervous, or didn't learn every single word of the hymn by memory and read it instead.

They will not smithe you because you didn't hit the right notes while singing or because you missed the note on your instrument.

You gave them something out of love and respect and that's what matters.
