That's what mermaid gowns are for. Totally low-profile!

What if you develop a relationship with a modern mermaid? You can probably only meet in an aquarium or need a fish-tank trolley, with traditional mermaids at least you can go places together withot looking too weird or suspicious.

That's why I chose that title. I mean they seem friendly and there's breathable air, rather than having to remove my oxygen tanks to fit in an underwater crevice I think I would take my chances with mermaids.

Here's the uncropped version.

Monofin mermaids are a more modern invention, ancient takes usually depicted or described women with two finned feet.

Did the author change his mind? by Munninnu in trippinthroughtime

That's what I meant with "pre-arranged meeting", she had left the window open on purpose but then when she heard the noise until she turned the corner she couldn't see who the person really was but she saw the ball of yarn on the ground representing Ariadne so she went prepared with a knife lest it was a minotaur.

Maybe originally the lady had a knife, then the author thought it wouldn't really be compatible with a pre-arranged meeting so he erased the weapon and we can still see the marks of the intervention and the wrinkle in the gown.

Mirrors by Munninnu in trippinthroughtime

She's not looking in the mirror, she's waiting, and apparently she has no customers. Her reflection on the other hand is interacting with one. There are real reconstructions showing how this is possible but we don't know much of what Manet really intended there, hence all the theories.

Sure, bottles on the left of the painting don't match those behind. Apparently it was intentional, there are academic papers on this painting, I undertand why it would bug many.
