I wonder if sirens are like trying to tell the sailors no but they won't listen so like murder was the only solution. They don't want your dick so it's time to drown.

I read that book. It was by Peter Benchely.

You know, one good round of grapeshot would've solved this whole problem around the first time an idiot rowed out.

It is weirdly refreshing to see sirens depicted in line with the original mythos.

First panel: "Might introduce myself" [Brain, without consent]: 'Please allow me to introduce myself... 🎶'

Same! I had to read it several times to make sense of it; my brain kept insisting it was a musical reference...

If I were a sea captain in ye olde days of sailing explorers, I’d make sure I had one creepy feet obsessed dude on crew who I assume would be impervious to Sirens.

Plot twist: Only male mermaids surface during mating season and sing for females. It’s a biological coincidence that human males are hypnotized by the song but the mer-males see is as a territorial threat and that’s why they kill sailors.

That is absolutely my favorite siren comic because A) it's hilarious, and B) it would absolutely work.

I mean, sure, but Vergouwen literally has several comics that match this post exactly.

The existence of snits implies the existence of snesticles.

Funny story: my snake-man barbarian called everyone Bro the first session because he's a himbo. One of the women in the group told him women don't like being called "bro." He said he was confused because snakes don't learn their sex until puberty, but from then on has called her "Sssssisss?" very politely. :)

Sirens aren't mermaids.

Sirens are land based, have bird bodies and sing to lure sailors onto the rocks

This is the cryptozoology equivalent of looking at a shark and saying "look at that eagle!"

As a francophone, this has always confused me.

A cursory look at the history of sirens tells me that they first showed up without a physical description, and have been depicted both ways since BC. I think they're both sirens.

If they aren't specifically from the Sirenne region of France, it's just a sparkling succubi.

Originally, they were scary bird-ladies who lured sailors with deceptively temping lies about a sailor's relatives. But by the medieval period, they'd become sexy sea creatures who would lure sailors with sex. (Although, usually they had two flippers they could spread to tempt the sailors, as opposed to mermaids which are usually purely fishlike down there.)

Nowadays, of course, there's only one siren left, and she tempts us with caffeine and sugar and a false promise that we're still hip and cool.

The mix might have come from other languages? I know in French, they're both called "sirène"

10 months ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well, what do you mean "other"? Sirens first appear in Ancient Greek literature, and people stopped speaking Ancient Greek a few hundred BC. So yeah, by the time people started drawing them as two-flippered fish-girls, people were talking different languages.
