M is for the plight of Mermaids, Monsters and Mythical Beasts.

I think I wrote this in July 2015 I say think I was not paying attention when I copied and pasted it here. But it is full of M words . . . OK it has the words Mermaids, Monsters and Mythical Beasts in it which is cool because they are good words. Unless of course you are being chased by a Mermaid, Monster or Mythical Beasts. If you are being chased by a Mermaid then I would suggest you get out of the sea, they are rubbish at running. Right enough of this idol chit chat time for my M word post . . . . . . OOOOOOO and I know I am trying to get back to comment on folks blogs as and when you leave a comment but I have had something like eight comments on L and that means I will be here half the night now sorting that out so be patient and remember I am a bit grumpy . . . And rubbish at typing.

Happy Easter by the way.



The plight of Mermaids, Monsters and Mythical Beasts





The World is a place where things change, there is little if anything anyone can do to stop it. Sometimes it is for the better and often it is not and most of the time it is impossible to tell if it is for the better or worse.  One of the sadness’s that gets little if any thought is that of the plight of Mermaids, Monsters and Mythical Beasts, O yes I can see a slight look of puzzlement on the faces of many as they dwell on what I am saying. You see many many many years ago such things had a real place in the minds of man, they were real and existed even if they were seldom seen.

When they were seen they were generally blamed for all sorts of stuff they did not do. Folk do stuff like that, blaming mythical beasts is to put it bluntly an easy way out of trouble.  I’m sure we would all happily shout . . . . The Mermaid did it. . . when someone is demanding to know who ate their ice cream.  Of course what happened is science turned up and along with rational thought putting an end to many of the beasts of the past as anatomically impossible or some such reason? Without . . . I will add the slightest morsel of remorse for destroying the deep held believes of many generations.

The thing is us humans need our Mermaids, Monsters and Mythical Beasts and so we are forced to find them in the wilder places of the world and ensure that they have some sort of scientific plausibility. Critters such as Big Foot, Yeti, The Loch Ness Monster as well as many other beasts, particularly of the deep sea and lakes.  But I can’t help but think the day will come when we finally kill them of as well.  And the strange world of unknown large and even small mythical beasts will be no more.

These things are in our DNA they need to be real, I mean just ask yourself why do folk like films like Jurassic World or King Kong or Godzilla its not just simple entertainment it is more deep rooted. Only the problem is it is no longer possible to see them as a real possibility of a world that might just still exist in a small corner of Planet Earth. . . . Like in the film The Lost World, a world that is now lost for good.


The world would be a better place if the possibility of Mermaids was distinctly a real possibility.

  1. You should start your own organization dedicated to leaving offering to creatures like mermaids. You don't have to prove they're real, just believe...

    I bet you would have a following. It would spread like wildfire too if you used facebook and twitter ;-).

    1. I am on facebook and twitter but I keep the mad stuff for my Humble little blog. Just too many other things to do maybe one day I will be organised and will have finished some of my projects. I dont know why my brain wants to do more than my body can.

      And thanks once again for the visit.

  2. Happy Easter.
    I think mer people are fascinating fantasy creatures. It's easy to see how they worked into our history, once humans took to the open water. Cool post!

  3. Mermaids could totally exist. Our world has so many undiscovered species that there could be this great evolutionary being that is a mermaid.

    Humans might not be looking in the right place for them.

  4. And then there are people like me who just flat refuse to believe they don't exist. They exist. Always have. Always will.

    1. I think it is a better world for believing in such things. It is certainly a little more magical.

      Thanks for visiting.

  5. LMAO! The bit about getting out of the sea because mermaids are bad at chasing you on land has me in stitches.

  7. Yes! Yes! Yes! Which is why I keep them alive in my books :)
    I do wonder if they will give way to Martians, and Morlocks, and sentient Microbial entities?
    Personally I still believe mermaids are real, and my belief in fairies, goblins, and sprites is what has kept me alive for 30-odd years ;)
    Happy Blogging!

  9. I need them in my world - or at least a world I can escape to, even if only in my head!
