I like to think someone made a deal with a Sea Witch and it went horribly right. Please enjoy this very silly reverse mermaid make, because we all need a bit of serotonin

THE EYEBROWS

"not like a hoarder, like a crafter, it's different." truer words have never been said!!! 🤣🤣🤣

This reminds me of when Simone Giertz dressed as a mantis shrimp in a suit and stood by the water having existential thoughts. Nonsense is precisely what we need in tough times

You ever walk into your sewing room in the morning before the coffee hits and scare the shit out of yourself with your creations? Also, I love this and the silliness.

actually super cute to me that you can kinda see the pink yoga mat peeking out a little during the reveal, almost looks like cartoony fish.... guts??? insides?? you know what i mean

The Ariel pose on the rock! The eyebrows! I love everything about this. No idea how you don’t have more subscribers. People are missing out on all of your humor and creativity.

I cling to this corner of the internet with my dear life. 😂❤

I love this SO MUCH. And adding fishnets was great.
I cackled so hard during the reveal that I now have tears in my eyes 🤣

When we were in first grade they asked us to draw what we wanted to be when we grew up. I said I wanted to be a Marine Biologist (like everyone). Only, I portrayed this by explaining I would fuse a human and fish in together and drew a reverse mermaid.

You need to know this because over 30 years later, you have finally brought a child's dream to life. Thank you.

Hope she’s being a good new roommate and not just scaring the shit out of you in the middle of the night

'This yoga mat is covered in human sweat'

You have a lot of faith in 2nd hand yoga mats ever being used. My mat sure hasnt. I was planning on donating it next week. I need the space.

Truly unhinged! There's a video out there somewhere of a reverse mermaid singing "Part of Your World" at an improv showcase that I think you would love.

i've been wanting to make one of these reverse mermaid fish heads for YEARS to wear to my local pirate fest (where they band ALWAYS performs "The Mermaid" by Great Big Sea). This year I was finally gonna do it, and seeing this video has just solidified that i ABSOLUTELY need to do this hahahahah

I love how you turned a piece of AI slop from Pinterest into an incredible costume!

1. The absolute absurdity of this channel brings me so much joy.
2. That reveal was ICONIC 🤩
3. The escapism from (gestures broadly) is greatly appreciated!
