I Feel So Freaking Cool Today. Maybe The Best I Felt In Past Two Weeks. I Feel Like I'm The Most Energised

I feel so freaking cool today. Maybe the best I felt in past two weeks. I feel like I'm the most energised and capable version of myself. My today's soundtrack is "Everybody Loves Me" by OneRepublic. Is it self-importance? Not really. I'm reviving my self esteem and self love. Love yourself, people ヽ(•̀ω•́ )ゝ

MELANIRANA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH A DETAILED ANSWER *internal screaming in delight*

You have no idea how happy your spelled out from biological side AU makes my nerdy brain QwQ

I'm not against the stories that include imaginary creatures/nature laws/habitat and focus more on plot and less on world building. But it's just so nice when everything makes sense.

I was looking at the art, noticed that females pseudo lungs are bigger and thought "does that have to do smth with them making more vocalisations when the males, about which you told sometime before?" and then you write that it does!

I didn't know fish can use their gills even in the air as long as they're wet. That's interesting

So young mers can use pseudo lung when unable to use gills, but will feel somewhat suffocating since their pseudo lungs are not that effective in breathing matter; noted.

Thank you for the art! The one with anatomy ref spared me from the swarm of "how big?" "How different in size" questions that would definitely pop up in my head :"D

The art with the boys is nice too :3 All the smooth rounded lines look neat together on Moon art, I like how you drew his fins and tail.

And Sun's puddle face is funny and adorable (hope he gets in the water soon, though ;w;)

Thank you again, I might invade your askbox sometime again hehe

Hi again! I have another question if you don't mind.

The mer boys have gills on their waist but they also can stay on the surface long enough to have a nap. It's logical to assume they have lungs or an analogue of them like lungfish do. How would it be useful in nature? Does growth of lungs stop at some age? I don't think that somone Eclipse-sized could make much use of breathing outside of a water body, I doubt he has a habit of dragging himself out on the big land.

Mers have a pseudo lung, it is not as effective as a real lung but still able to absorb some oxygen. In these pseudo lungs store gasses and funktions simmilar to a swimmblader. Females have bigger lungs than males and are able to make a lot more vocalizations.

Yes, the lungs stop growing at some point and their only use at that point is for vocalization. But before that point, lungs have the function of allowing Mers (specifically Mers that live in freshwater) to travel across land in search fro new waters. Usually, they don't really need to use their lungs to breathe as their gills work as long as they are wet. Plus just like lungfish, their gill can hold water.

If you'd like to keep Sun and Moon outside the water for longer you can throw a wet towel over them, it'll allow them to stay outside for way longer.
