mermanonfire

Ask me anything Merman trawls his net through a sea of images, and presents what he finds from precious pearls to the flotsam and jetsam that scintillates him regardless, from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the sacred to the profane (and sometimes abject filth). Whilst the merman will frequently celebrate the beauty of the mermaidens, he has a strong predilection for his fellow mermen, of which you shall find many exquisite specimens here, amongst the other refined treasures that you may witness. Some of these mermen will have dispensed with the cockleshells that at other times hide their modesty in a moment of rapture and ravishment (ie NSFW on occasion). IT'S REALLY RATHER WONDERFUL WHEN PEOPLE IDENTIFY THE IMAGES THAT THEY POST.
