Come on, everybody, one more time again

Due to glancing childhood exposure to 1960's TV Batman and of course her name, I always took it for granted that Eartha Kitt was a were-cat, but this 1952 photo by Carl Van Vechten makes a really good case for mermaid:



Other things I learned about today from Tumblr include the Sword of Stalingrad (pictured with its silversmith Leslie Durbin, then of the RAF) and Jason deCaires Taylor's The Lost Correspondent (2006). I was also very struck by this shipwreck turning into an island. It appears to be the SS City of Adelaide.

I don't know, I think I still see a were-cat, just one with an understandable thing for mermaids and one currently in her sights. (Like the Cat in Red Dwarf, but she's into fish-tails not heads. :-D)

I mean, both options are good, though. Were-cat AU and Mermaid AU, all good. <3
