Found you for the mermaid content, stayed for the realness. It's been a tough year for many, and we all need time to rest and recover. Especially after so many losses and changes in a short time. We also have to allow grief for who we were. Internet is a cutthroat place. Anyone who puts out content is brave af. 🙏
I agree 2023 was a beast!! My condolences on your losses. Here’s to bigger and brighter things in 2024! 🎉 I joined your patreon pod! So excited to sea more content! 💙
I really want to be a part of the Patreon pod but I just don’t have the financial stability to be so, therefore I’ll still enjoy whatever you give here on TH-cam. I bought my first monofin in June after finding your channel and loving being a neurodivergent mer. Thanks for being an inspiration and real.
I get it life happens but you just encourage share and like and subscribe the best thing I is was follow Courtney she literally the best then after her Autistic journey I could relate to her even more ❤
Others have already said most of what I wanted to, so I will just say thank you again for making such a wonderful gateway into mermaiding with your channel and community. You are amazing and real in ways that that show the wonderful parts of the hobby while appropriately highlighting important issues. I hope to one day be in a position to join the patreon pod because I imagine things only get better the deeper one dives into your community. Thank you so much for what you do.
Originally found you via the Autism content, but I stayed b/c I appreciate this "here's what a realistic day looks like"-style vlog. I find these relaxing, listening to your commentary about your artwork and seeing what you're up to next - makes me feel like I'm actually in the room with you, "hanging out". Thanks for that!
2023 was a pretty garbage year, tbh. Was out of work for 8 months due to the hollywood strikes. I'm so excited for your new structure for your youtube channel! You deserve to have a system that works for you rather than works you over. Also I have always preferred the behind-the-scenes process/office videos and vlogs rather than the viral swimming ones anyway.😍 Sending you a positive 2024, you deserve it!
Im a low income mer, so i will be happy to enjoy whatever content you post here. I like you, or at least the version you feel comfortable sharing with us. I wish you nothing but the best, and empathize with your difficult end of year. I hope you find more happiness in the coming year. 🖤🧜♀️
Loved the variety of content, the snow!!!, the tails, and the reminiscence for loved ones! So happy to be part of the pod, Courtney! Here’s hoping 2024 has some silver linings ❤
Oh Courtney I cannot tell you how much you have done for me and all the other followers, merfolk or not. I wish you THE bestest year in 2024! So stoked on what‘s going to come and obviously the creative part of me would looove an updated roomtour! You go girl, and in your own pace there will be so much more to discover this year.🍃best wishes
I love you so much ❤ 2024 doesn’t have to be the best year ever, but if it’s a little bit better than last year I will be happy 😅 we’ll be okay even though it’s hard. I’m always here for you!
Welcome back Courtney, it’s nice to see you’ve return! I totally understand how 2023 was a literal pain in the fluke, it was a very rough year for me too. Take your time to recover and we will be back to watch your videos! I hope someday I can have one of your tails as my own, I love your art! Welcome back!
I'm proud of you too. 😊 And holy **** you've been through SO MUCH, as you said. I'm absolutely horrible at condolences, but like, that's... that's what I want to offer? As awkwardly as possible, it seems. ❤️ Sincere condolences. It makes sense that you're organizing/allocating your time and energy and presence in a way that won't burn you out. It makes good mental (and physical) health sense. Treating yourself and your needs as a priority means you'll be able to keep going and give as much as you can back to yourself and everyone you care about (and everyTHING you care about, like your businesses). You got this.
First of all I was so happy to see that you updated a video and felt when you said last year was hard I was so sad to hear about alfie and your grandma and then Eric’s friend and grandma 😢 I just enjoy seeing you honestly even when life takes a dive you find the strength to bring so much happiness to people ❤
Thank you for posting again and letting us know what’s going on. Of course you would focus on patreon they provide you with a more direct revenue stream; makes sense. But I love that you are real and authentic never change Courtney! Sending you positive vibes!
Happy new year courtney! 😊 I discovered your channel when i was researching into mermaiding. Your art is really inspiring. Recently im researching about autism and im so glad i came across your autism video. Im so excited for your upcoming contents ❤️
I’m so sorry for your losses last year. I hope 2024 is much kinder to you and that it will be very fruitful! I missed your videos like this Courtney! I love seeing what you are up to. I need to join your Patreon eventually 😅 I was pretty creatively frustrated last year and then the video game Avatar Frontiers of Pandora came out and gave me so much artistic inspiration and got me into starting to delve into other types of art forms/projects, etc. Did you know there is a plant on Pandora called a ‘Mermaid Tail’!? It is really pretty and it launches you really far if you step on it. It’s a gorgeous, immersive game that helped me feel creative and inspired again.
Happy 2024 to you Courtney. Sending lots of positive energy and thoughts your way. Haters are always going to exist because unfortunately sometimes people are just vicious that way. Wishing you the best and keep on doing what you do best! Know that those who support you will always be there for you! I love you and all the content that you post 💖
I feel sorry for you that 2023 was such a tough year. But I´m so glad you are back! :) I love your mermaid content so, so much. :) But content about Autism sounds interesting too. :)
glad to see you back am with year you last few year been difficult for me for different resone and 2024 hasn't started best but am hopping things will get better 😊
Sending all the good vibes your way. I really enjoy watching your vlogs; those snowflakes were so pretty! Snow can be so much fun! Also that swing! Looks so cozy. I’ve never seen anything like it 👀
I actually found you for your autism content! And to be completely honest… I’m not really interested in mermaids? But I really like you, like as a person, I like the vibes you give off and how open and honest you are! I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for everything that happened to you and glad you are here anyway ❤
Hi! New subscriber here. I was recommended one of your autism videos when I subscribed to another adult female's autism channel. So that's how I found you. I know little about the mermaid community, but the tail making and designing aspect is fascinating! I subscribed for both. I'm so sorry for the multiple losses in 2023. Losing family is so hard, and I'm also talking about our animal family members. I, too, have no human kids and recently lost my cat that I'd had for over 16 years. Some people don't understand the significance of such a loss. It's been rough, but I just keeping telling myself that somehow someway I'll get through this. 2024 is turning out to be a horrible year so far for me, but, yeah, I'm just going to ride it out to get through the year. Sometimes, that's all you can do. This year might include an adult autism diagnosis for me also. I have other things going on that kind of take priority, but the shutdowns are getting far more frequent. So, I'm going to take your great advice and start accommodating myself before an official diagnosis. Thank you for all of your content. You are reaching people who need community!
I'm here for the tism but as an artist, I respect and appreciate the mermaid content. Perheps you could become the Nudie Cohen of mermaid wear. And by that, I mean that there are all sorts of western suits, but nothing compares to a Nudie suit! That resulted in lifelong demand for his work.
wait omg is the Little Mermaid tail a sort of replica of the recent design for Ariel’s tail in the latest live action adaptation????????? 🧜🏽♀️💞 (NEVER MIND JUST SAW YOUR DESIGN LOL IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL)
HI COURTNEY!!!! Missed you here...in this web! I'm so sorry fo all yours and Eric's losses...I can´t believe THAT was your guys en of the year. And I hope both feel some sort of peace soon or just lighter, cause when you loose a love one you never feel the same again. Look forward to any of your content and thank you for teaching me so much about mermaids. 💗💗💗💗🧜🏽♀🧜🏽♀🧜🏽♀🧜🏽♀✨✨✨✨
Check out my Patreon here: www.vancouvermermaid.ca/patreon.html
there's a netflix series about professional mermaids thought you should know if you wanted to take a look

Also... I do want to be here! Thats why I subscribed! 😁 I just wanted to say I don't think you ruined it, the internet ruined it!

I love that you are into mermaids. I am into fairies. I have a few fairy wings from Etsy.
