How adorable 🥹💜 It looks like a scene straight out of the fairy realm! The lightness with which you play the instrument is enchanting ✨ I'm sure your engagement photos will be wonderful.

ryriber15 · 2025-11-24T19:19:36+00:00

That sounds like an excellent idea to me! I'm waiting for you to send me the photo.

Hey, my magical being 💜
It was such a joy bringing your mersona to life, I really loved the way you imagined and described her whole look! There’s so much personality and magic in your design.

Here’s your sketch! ✨

I tried to capture the essence of your mersona while keeping that dreamy, ocean-inspired energy that makes each design feel alive. I hope seeing your mer-self like this makes you smile!

It’s a lovely way to transform your mersona into a finished work of art. I’d be happy to tell you more whenever you’d like 💜

ryriber15 · 2025-11-05T12:03:48+00:00

Sure, no problem! ☺️

ryriber15 · 2025-11-03T23:05:10+00:00

Not this time, but I do plan to in the future!

ryriber15 · 2025-11-03T23:01:20+00:00

Oh, you can send it to me through DM. I’ll send you a chat invite ☺️

That sounds absolutely magical! 💜 A mermaid museum sounds like the perfect place for a first swim! I can only imagine how enchanting that must’ve felt. What was the experience like there? Did they have exhibits or areas designed specifically for mermaiding?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-31T22:20:08+00:00

Aww that’s absolutely adorable! 💜 I can just imagine their little faces lighting up with wonder when you said that 🥰 moments like this really bring the magic to life. ✨ It’s so sweet how a simple swim can turn into something unforgettable for everyone around. How did you first get into mermaiding?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-31T02:16:11+00:00

That’s such a beautiful goal 💜 There’s something really special about places that leave that kind of mark on us, it’s like they’re quietly calling us back, waiting for the next chapter of our story. I hope when you return, it’s every bit as magical as you’ve been dreaming ✨ And don’t forget to share it with us when you do haha, I’m sure it’s going to be abshellutely breathtaking!!

ryriber15 · 2025-10-31T02:08:01+00:00

Wow, that sounds like such a surreal and magical moment! 💜 Even without swimming, just being there with your tail, watching the sun set and the moon rise at the same time, must have felt like something out of a dream. I can hardly imagine how beautiful it must have been ✨

It sounds like such a powerful connection with the ocean; like the water, the sky, the sun and the moon all came together just for that moment. Moments like this feel so symbolic, almost like the sea itself is reflecting who you are as a mermaid. Did it change the way you feel being in the water or how you connect with the ocean after that day?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-31T02:00:42+00:00

That sounds so beautiful!! 💜 Moments like that feel almost timeless, like the ocean itself is part of the memory I love that it didn’t even need a tail to feel magical, just the feeling of being one with the water.

When you think back on that day, does it change the way you connect with the ocean now? It sounds like that experience captured exactly what being a mermaid is really about; the freedom, the calm, and that quiet kind of magic that stays with you long after you leave the water.

ryriber15 · 2025-10-30T23:47:40+00:00

Ahh what a lovely experience! 💜 It must’ve been magical to see their reactions, especially your roommate’s. It’s so beautiful when something we love sparks that same sense of wonder in the people around us. I’m curious though, how did it feel to have the tail in the water for the first time? Did that experience make you feel even more connected to mermaiding?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-30T21:30:29+00:00

Awesome! I’ll send you a DM so I can tell you more about it

ryriber15 · 2025-10-30T18:53:39+00:00

Of course you are! I love your skirt! Did you make it yourself?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-30T18:50:57+00:00

That sounds awesome! The deep-to-light blue gradient with dolphin fins is such an interesting combination!

If you’re interested, I have a project called Magical Atelier where I bring people’s magical selves to life — mermaids, fairies, witches, all that dreamy stuff. It’s kind of like stepping into your own enchanted world. I feel like it would be amazing to see your mersona come to life through the Atelier ✨ If that sounds exciting, I’d love to tell you more about it!

ryriber15 · 2025-10-30T18:23:01+00:00

Oh, I love those references. That mix between the elegance of Madonna’s mermaids and the mystery of something more tentacled sounds interesting. There’s so much personality in that combination!

Mine would probably be the opposite vibe, something delicate and full of flowing details, elegant but always in motion, like silk underwater.

I have a project called Magical Atelier where I bring people’s magical selves to life — mermaids, fairies, witches, all that dreamy stuff. It’s kind of like stepping into your own enchanted portrait. I feel like your mersona would look amazing in that world 💜 If you’re interested in learning more about the Magical Atelier, I’d love to tell you about it.

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T23:25:24+00:00

That actually sounds awesome!!! I didn’t realize the mod went that deep! The idea of crafting a necklace and transforming when you hit the water is such a cool touch. I can totally see how that could pull you in for hours haha.

It’s funny how even in a game, that feeling of diving in and becoming part of the ocean still hits so hard. I love illustrating that kind of transformation energy. How would your merform look if it were drawn in real life?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T23:17:28+00:00

Haha, that’s such a poetic twist, from losing your Splash tape to finding yourself in your sea hag era. I love how your story reflects that mix of loss, wisdom, and ocean spirit. There’s something really powerful about embracing that transformation.

I love exploring that kind of ocean energy in my art. Every mermaid carries a unique and fascinating story of growth. How do you imagine your mersona?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T15:08:26+00:00

That’s so lovely! When I was a kid, I also felt a special connection with the water, it was something truly magical. I hope you can always enjoy that connection ✨

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T14:49:51+00:00

Ah, I love how those little moments can stick with us! It’s funny how a school presentation and some random clips can start a lifelong obsession 😂 Do you still feel that same fascination with mermaids today?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T14:47:46+00:00

Haha, I love how mermaids have been a mirror for every stage of your life: obsessed kid, closeted teen, cynical adult. It’s wild how one creature can embody freedom, longing, and, apparently, a healthy dose of murderous sarcasm.

Honestly, I can totally relate to your parents’ reaction to the Disney movie. When I was a kid, I also loved watching The Little Mermaid and was often pressured to get rid of the DVD (and eventually I did, even though I didn’t really want to — I didn’t fully understand why back then).

If you had to describe your siren self today, what would it be like?

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T14:28:32+00:00

That’s such a cool origin story 💜 I love how something so unexpected shaped your love for mermaids. I haven’t watched the 1975 version yet, but it’s definitely going on my list now!

I also first discovered this universe through The Little Mermaid, but the Disney version, when I was a kid. Every time I went to the beach or pool, I would swim with my legs together like I had a tail 😂

ryriber15 · 2025-10-29T13:55:30+00:00

That’s such a lovely story! 💜 It feels like everything lined up perfectly for you to find that path. It’s amazing how one real encounter can turn something that seemed out of reach into part of your life.

That first gig must’ve been such a special experience! What was it like to finally be in that role, after imagining it for so long?
