sunshine or moonlight? fairy wings or angel wings? gardening or baking? velvet or silk? flowers or succulents? black coffee or milky coffee? road trips or hiking? mermaids or dragons?
Okay, but imagine Autistic Mermaids/Mermen/Merpeople
-Who stim by flapping their tails.
-Who stim by singing.
-Who can’t understand merpeople social skills, but know how to talk to humans.
-Who hide inside of large oysters when they’re overwhelmed because the pressure calms them down.
-Who have special interests in coral or humans or fish or empathy.
-Who hate ships because the noises they make are too loud.
-Who stim by sending waves and white horses towards the shore.
-Who cut their hair because the feeling of it in their face is overwhelming.
-Who stim by clicking shells together.
-Who talk to little children who come by the docks because they can relate to them better.
-Who get overwhelmed by singing in front of too many or too few people.
-Who arrive very early or very late to concerts.
-Who have a particular sea creature they hang out with almost constantly.
-Who don’t know how to flirt with merpeople, but charm humans easily.
-Who like particular types of sea flora in their hair, and abhor the feelings of any other sea flora because it feels terrible.
That’s all I can think of right now.
