Lavenderism

When the goddess Darmala became The Lady Of The Waves, she was alone in a vast ocean of Earth. She spent her time being artistic and creating the corals, the starfish, and painting the fish different colors. One day in a moment of sentimentality, she created the dolphins and even painted them pink to show off her feminine side. The other gods went underwater to look at her creation, and remarked on how delicate she must be for creating dolphins. The Lady Of The Waves took this as a personal challenge and decided to create large fish with sharp teeth and big bodies that would become sharks. They began eating fish, so the lady needed to create even more and more fish until the entire ocean was full of them.

The Lady Of The Waves ruled over the ocean from a wooden ship until she noticed half-human fish swimming around. She had a realization that while drinking her rum, she became tipsy and accidentally created dolphins and sharks with human torsos, which became a race of mermen and mermaids. They swam down to the bottom of the sea, but they had to move to the spirit world because the ocean was too salty for them.
