Somehow, the beauty and tech gods seem to have merged. We already have our beloved unicorn emoji. And with a new update from Unicode launching in June, we’ll soon have mermaids (and a redhead, no less!).

That means two things: You can now thoroughly celebrate these new mermaid palettes on social media — and someone over at Unicode has got to be a beauty lover. Please, deliver this person a set of fishtail makeup brushes stat.

Unicode will release 69 new characters this summer, including more inclusive options, such as a woman in a hijab, as well as a breastfeeding emoji, because sometimes you actually do have your hands too full to use real words. There’s also, finally, a man with a beard emoji and the less-necessary-but-still-exciting male Tinkerbell emoji. Refinery29 reports that mythical creatures are a major theme in the upcoming rollout, which means we’re getting fairies, wizards, and elves along with with our magical mermaids.

There are also male and female vampires, zombies, the much-needed “I’m in the shower” emoji, genies, and rock climbers.

You can check out all the new characters here. In the meantime, start envisioning all the Instagrams you can caption with that mermaid.
