Imagine you meet this really cool girl online and hit it off and then after a bit when you go to meet up in person she texts you "please don't be mad" and reveals she's actually a bug capable of accessing the internet with her mind. Is this an improvement? Workable? A dealbreaker?
It'd be such a rare thing, I think I'd have to at least try to make it work! I mean, there was a spark, right? It would depend on what kind of bug, though. I'm envisioning a beetle due to Kafkaesque reasons, but I have a phobia for wasps due to childhood trauma (Which I do not blame the wasps for, it was the neglect of grownups that caused this fear) so if she was a wasp that might be a problem.
Anyway, I'm asexual, so it's not like that'd be a deal-breaker in the relationship, and sharing my apartment would be a lot more doable if she's a small bug, too! She wouldn't need to eat as much as a human either, so that'd save money.
One thing I'm wondering though, can she also talk? She can access the internet with her mind, but if that, along with her fully developed thought similar to a human, is the extend of her special traits, it'd make communication more difficult. I'd have to grab my phone every time she wants to say something to me because the only way she can do so is to send me messages? That'd be very annoying, and then I'd have to get a data plan for when we're on the go... Plus I've just started trying to use my phone less! Hmm, what a conundrum...
Immediately after answering this ask I swatted away a fruit fly and for a brief moment my mind said "WHAT IF THAT'S HER!!"
Doomed siblings enjoyers when the one that dedicated their whole life to trying to live up to their parents is still worse at it than their sibling who spent their whole life rejecting them
tired: mermaids are all women
wired: much like elves, merfolk are mistaken by sailors for being all women because they have long hair and are very pretty
inspired: merfolk actually have very different concepts of gender to humans because they’re an entirely different species with their own unique culture
marine scientist: what’s your gender?
merperson: what’s a gender
marine scientist: like, are you a man or a woman?
merperson: i’m merfolk
marine scientist: no, like, what’s in your pants?
merperson: i don’t… wear any? i don’t have legs?
It’s a biological fact that fish do indeed change their sex to keep the male/female ratio balanced in their school population. So this fluidity actually makes more sense from a scientific standpoint than the silly idea that merfolk are born with a strictly assigned sex like humans.
Merfolk are all canonically genderfluid and we love them for that
Human: (invites merfolk friend to a boat party with their friends)
Merfolk: oh man, there are a lot of women here. Haha don’t worry guys, I got this :) *changes into a man to keep a balance because that’s culturally polite for merfolk*
Human: (spits drink) what the FUCK
OH MY GOD
So in the presence of a ship with an entirely or mostly male crew, nearby mermaids would become female to keep the balance.
That’s it. We figured out why everyone thinks merfolk are all women. Get a boat of fems out there and let’s see what they report.
