I don’t think i have much doubt about being a Merkin

After a recent visit to the beach, i think ive almost finished my questioning of being a merkin. Since i was a kid i had a strange draw to anything mermaid related. It was always kind of something i was interested in and it never went away. I even wore mermaid tails and swam in them. Obviously these don’t make me a Mermkin but being a Merkin explains these. I believe it’s just become part of my identity now without realizing. I even subconsciously stand in a way where my legs are crossed to form a fin shape subconsciously (have done it since i was a kid, it just feels natural and comforting). I don’t think there’s any doubt to have.

I might be an agent of chaos with the item combo i have

I used to do mermaiding all the time as a kid, so i‘m fairly experienced. Today i decided i wanted to do some budget-ish mermaiding so i decided on a mermaid Lucia fabric tail and a suntails nunui monofin. Because of the large fluke, I'm also making a vinyl support (60 gauge). Is this a good combo? I’ll obviously upgrade monofins later but I’m hoping this is good for restarting as a beginner-intermediate (i am a strong swimmer and practice dolphin kicks a lot).
