thank's to my amazing ability to learn loads of shit from yaoi scanlations, i'd read a very wonderful oneshot that dealt with ningyo's, so, here's what a ningyo is:

Ningyo (人魚, "human fish"?), often translated as "mermaid," is a fish-like creature from Japanese folklore. Anciently, it was described with a mouth like a monkey's, small teeth like a fish's, shining golden scales, and a quiet voice like a skylark or a flute. Its flesh is pleasant-tasting, and anyone who eats it will attain remarkable longevity. However, catching a ningyo was believed to bring storms and misfortune, so fishermen who caught these creatures were said to throw them back into the sea. A ningyo washed onto the beach was an omen of war or calamity.

My blog is really all over the place, including NSFW (not safe for work) content, food porn, photos and videos, wishlist items, textile info & vocab, weekly inspiration, scans, and whatever else catches my fancy.
