It's the source material...
a light skinned, dark haired, blue tailed mermaid is laying on a green beach towel and using a pink inner-tube as a pillow. She is reading a book and saying, "Damn, this analog fanfiction slaps."

Just so there is no doubt where I stand. You can't reform what is inherently broken by design.

A light skinned, dark haired, blue tailed mermaid is posing bent over showing off her fish-butt. There are two labels, one pointing at her butt called "Dumbass Container" which she remarks, "My ass doesn't contain the dumb, it contains my butt." The other label is marked, "Dumboob Container" which she remarks with, "My boobs are dumb though, cause they are stupid big."

Water practice featuring Nereid
Kelly Brook as Nereid from the movie Fishtales. She is a light skinned, dark haired, and green and purple tailed mermaid swimming through the water on her back with her head and torso out of the water. The water is a delicious blue.

So what are the chances we could all chip in and get @adorkastock.com one of these fancy iridescent silicone mermaid tails? I'm sure there is a huge market (mostly just me) for references of how light interacts with the scales...

Tail by shopmerbella.com
a set of pictures of a blue mermaid tail with purple stripe patterns. It is very shiny and pretty.

Oh yeah

My only nitpick is the ones that are like, human coochie merges into tail, but we have glued a clam or a triangle piece of fabric to it cause we can’t show that here.

I keep a handy little infographic for what I prefer to depict over on my nsfw account

I could draw my OCs or fan-art of any popular mermaid movie, but no my brain is stuck on the movie that killed live-action mermaid movies for nearly a decade.

Anyway, here is Nereid thinking about bards.
Fan art of Kelly Brook as the mermaid Nereid from the movie fishtales. She has a green and purple tail. She is lying on the beach looking out into the ocean with a sly smile on her face.

I got tired of having to scrounge up pictures for Nereid's tail and jewelry, so I made a reference sheet.

Feel free to use this if you want to draw her.
A reference sheet for drawing Nereid. She is the mermaid played by Kelly Brook in the film fishtales. There are breakdowns of her jewelry, tail design, and changes I made from the film. There is a picture of a closeup of the tail fluke, her with her arms outstretched, a 3/4 behind view for the back patterns, and a picture of her laying down.

Some more #HethAU Sally doodles

Pose references from one of @trueref.bsky.social's Cyn Wei Starer Pack!

Two drawings of a mermaid named Sally. 1st image: a light-skinned, dark brown haired, blue-tailed mermaid is propping herself up on one are and blocking the light with her other hand. She says, "Do I have to get up, chat?" 2nd image: she is sitting down with her head sideways and being held by both hands. She is looking at her tail bent to the side in a way no human legs ever could. She is saying, "I get that my tail is super flexible, but how do my legs bend like that in there?"

Some #HethAU Sally doodles
A collection of drawings focusing on Sally the mermaid. Sally is a light skinned, dark haired, blue tailed mermaid. First drawing: She is lying on the sea floor with a shocked look on her face, she says, "OMG chat, all those youtube 'mermaid tail spells' I did when I was 14 have finally caught up to me..." Drawing 2: She is holding a pair of ripped jean shorts with a phone in the back pocket and looking sad. She says, "#R.I.P. to my favorite ripped jorts." Drawing 3: Sally tosses the shorts behind her and looks excitedly at her phone and says, "But at least my phone made it!" Drawing 4: Holding her phone above her head she dejectedly says, "Dam, no service." Drawing 5: a close up of her phone screen with various apps, but the Wikipedia app in the forefront. Sally says, "That's okay. It's a few weeks out of date, but I did download the largest, most accurate collection of human knowledge on the internet." Drawing 6: Sally's finger is pressing the A03 "Archive of Archive of our Own" icon.

I had a horrible realization this morning...

I joined an OC art-challenge group and I submitted Sally as my OC.

I am going to mark these as #HethAU differentiate it from the regular Sally lore.

I can't keep getting away with turning her into a fish.
Page 1 of a digital comic. Panel 1: A light-skinned, dark brown haired woman names Sally is looking up at the camera while holding a plate of sushi next to her face. The sushi is sparkling with magic. She says, "I've got a special treat for you today chat! This week's discount sushi haul was supposedly cursed by some internet witches. Who cares about that though. This sushi SPARKLES!" Panel 2: She holds up some sushi in her chopsticks while chewing on another piece. She is contemplative and says, "You're not gonna believe this chat, but it tastes kinda fishy... The aftertaste is... tingly." The sushi is crunching in her mouth. Panel 3: She trips on a rock and the last sushi roll falls off of her plate. Sally shouts, "Five-second rule!" Panel 4: As the sushi is bouncing across a street she is chasing after it and counting up to 3. Panel 5: As she reaches "4" the sushi roll falls into an open manhole surrounded by safety cones and a sign that says, "Encorcellment Hazard." There is strange purple smoke coming out of the manhole. Panel 6: Sally falling into the sewer with her hand and chopsticks reaching after the sushi shouts "FIIIIVE." The purple smoke is getting more thick. Page 2 of a digital comic Panel 1: A bright light sparkling on the surface of the water. Bubbles rise upwards as a fish swims away. Sally says, "Is this the sewer?" Panel 2: A strange green eel with 4 eyes and a large mouth swims by Sally who looks stoked and exclaims, "Woah Chat! Nobody told me how cool it is down here!" She is clearly underwater in some tropical ocean. Panel 3: She looks out to all the coral and sea life and continues, "And bright... and spacious." Panel 4: She taps her cheek a few times, pondering with slitted irises and webbed fingers. "I wonder what happened to my-" Panel 5: She looks down and instead of legs has a blue mermaid tail. She shouts, "SUSHI?"
