The Mermaid Problemby ~XNinjaRed

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Drawings

Of course, they're fantasy creatures, so you're not supposed to look at it logically, but just try and you'll see the anatomical problems just by thinking about it!

Ami is a character by

Mermaid Ami concept and Cho character by

aka Me.

Request more mystical creatures for me to criticize if you know some.

Clams aren't fish. Why would being friends with fish have anything to do with clam bras?

~ATWH Mar 26, 2012

Personally, I believe that merfolk genitals are concealed by a layer of retractable scales but that's just me and my weirdness

My best guess is they have fishy gonads!

I'm sure they have reproductive organs, they're just incompatible with ours. [link]

I think that the answer is probably something that once you learn you probably wish you never knew.

Phoebe: Their navals are their reproductive organs. LOL

Gerald: Have you been reading "Boobs Ahoy" again?

Phoebe: No....Yes...Maybe?

In order...
*It's up to the writers
*The same reason humans wear fur
*Censorship
*Depends on the writer
*They've been around for a while, so they probably have their own units
*It doesn't; it's a censorship thing
*...I got nothing
*Bitch, it's magic. They aint gotta explain SHIT!
*Mammals, on account of their mammaries
*Again, magic creatures don't particularly care
*Why do platypi have bills?
*They don't have gills; they have water lungs
*There are a thousand ways an architect could figure that out (but I'm not an architect)
*Well that's the million dollar question, isn't it?

Also, dhampyrs. How the fuck can you be half human, half UNDEAD CORPSE?!?!

~SCARYWIZARD Jun 12, 2011

Another good question would be how they dispose of waste matter. I guess they have cloacae or something like that?

I guess it boils down to the type of mermaid you have encountered. I for one have seen particularly scary ones. Dont ask me how they fit in the criteria though. XD

ME GUSTA.

~Orbotron May 9, 2011

Here, I wrote a paper on this.
It doesn't cover all of it, but it covers about half of it.
If you have any more question, please, PLEASE! Ask me. I love Mermaids.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
