Hello again my fishy friend ! Yes you absolutely can !!

Transmerfolk affirmations !!

- You are merfolk !! (Semi)Aquatic with your beautiful tail and all !

- You belong in the [body of water correlating to your mertype] <3

- (siren && ocean based ) your scales are so pretty and your voice is captivating ^_^ sailors watch out !!

Transbruised tips !!

- makeup !! Its surprisingly easy to make a fake bruise .. I used to use washable markers !! Makeup is easier to get off though probably ..

- using ice and then carefully hitting your skin (carefully as to not hurt urself) can make bruises easily

- sometimes even pinching , rubbing , or poking your skin especially near veins for a long time can cause bruising !

Hi hi !! Yes ofc !!

Transmerfolk tips !

- ofc swim whenever you can !! winter is ending here right now but theres always the tub if you have one ! Gotta stay moist you fishyfolk

- drink lots and lots of water! Hydration is important for mermaids especially if they cant be under the water all the time trust..

- eat aquatic things ! Fish , shellfish , mussels , seaweed , etc ! (Just make sure its safely prepared if one chooses to eat it uncooked!)

- wrap your "legs" in a blanket or fabric similar tightly "bounding" them together to feel your tail authentically ! Bonus points if its pretty material like scales and the sort !

- maneuver around as if unfamiliar with the human world, you are merfolk after all how would you know what a chair is 🤔

- practice singing ! Especially if youre siren leaning !
