Leopard Seal Selkies!

[A/N: I know I’m not the only one who thought about this type of Selkie. But imagine the implications when you consider actual Leopard Seals! They’re one of the only seal species to routinely eat other seals (pups, usually)…]

———————————————————————

What if—Leopard Seal Selkies are the boogeymen of Selkie society?

Regular leopard seals rarely have contact with humans due to mostly living in truly cold places. (Some have been spotted in places like the Cook Islands, New Zealand—but the sightings are rather rare…) Thus, leopard seal selkies wouldn’t have much reason to turn into their human forms too often. Their human forms might offer much less protection in the cold areas they frequently live in. So I imagine these types of selkies are very, very rare to encounter outside of their seal forms!

Some of them might even not learn how to talk because they spend so little as humans or listening to people on boats! Barely any time spent as humans could attribute to them being boogeymen (and boogeywomen) of Selkies.

These seals average well over the height of typical humans, so their skins would be pretty big and cumbersome to hide. Although—they might spend a bit more time as humans with something that big to cover themselves. Not too long though. Anyway, the sheer myths and legends some Selkies would have about large cannibalistic selkies who are rarely human. That’d be interesting to base an OC on!

I’ve been on a bit of Selkie kick recently sue me!

Happy Monstober? Does this count???

Someone should do a thing on how queer identities & queerphobia & climate change & climate change denial all link with chaos theory & the fingerprint of God & newtonism. Not me, because I only understand the basic concept of the math. But someone who knows them.

I’m so sorry to harp on the Selkie thing but a friend on a server brought up the idea and I had to share it. Selkie pup Jason in a bat björn. He got tired on patrol so Bruce offered to carry him. Batman refuses to acknowledge it when a rogue or cop brings it up

Little known gotham fact: batman's cape has a little attachment on it so it can be wrapped around a small creature (say. a baby. or a tiny seal.) like this

Selkie!Johnny was sure he’d have at least a day or two to try and win your heart before your husband came home from being out on the sea - unpredictable weather and all. he didn’t expect to be looking up at a rugged, well built man first thing in the morning. Simon’s nearly black irises staring him down

“Oh— You’re up!”, your voice caught his attention, nervously looking past your husband, “I’m making breakfast. Simon, why don’t you grab John here a pair of clothes he can borrow.”. again, Johnny’s heart was beating quickly. looking after him, having your husband fetch him a pair of clothes, Johnny could steal you away now if he really wanted to. as soon as Simon left with a curt, grumbled huff Johnny was next to you

“Thanks for lettin’ me stay again, lass.”, voice low as he watched you cook. as long as your husband was out of the room Johnny could at least try to use his natural charm on you. “Appreciate it. I could just stay here forever, ya know?”, when you laughed, a smile tugging at your lips, John knew he was hooked. for all the past women he’d seduced and bedded, none of them had laughter like yours - none of them cared for his wellbeing or made his heart skip a beat. “You’re welcome to stay until you get back on your feet.”, music to his ears, he was just about to flirt when you continued, “Course, I’d have to ask my husband.”

your husband. it had Johnny looking around the small kitchen to make sure he was still in your room, “Ah— I’d imagine so.”, the small pout that settled on his lips caught your eye, just on the edge of your peripheral. admittedly, Johnny was handsome - a selkie with rugged, charming looks, not that you knew. to you, John looked like a normal, healthy man. big, a healthy layer of fat wrapped around his muscles. “Might have to convince him then, yeah?”, and there was his charming smile, lopsided and boyish. maybe he was being overly friendly when he rested his hand against the small of your back, a little too caught up in the moment to hear the floorboards creaking

a hand gripping the back of his shirt tugged him away from you slightly, a startled little noise resonating in Johnny’s throat. “Clothes.”, Simon’s low voice rumbling as he shoved a change of clothes to Johnny’s chest. “Ya know where the guest room is.”, short, curt words. all Johnny could manage was a tight smile and nod before he scrambled away from Simon, from you. Simon watched him turn the corner out of the kitchen, eyes squinting before he walked up behind you, arms wrapped snug around your waist

a gentle kiss pressed to the back of your head, Simon knew it as soon as he saw Johnny. a fisherman knows a selkie when he sees one. he knows the stories passed from ship to ship, from pub to pub. men crawling out of the sea and bedding women, their charming words and allure seducing pretty little things. “Mhm, found him on the shore— poor man was drenched, Simon. Don’t kick him out, let him sleep.”, that’s what you had told Simon when he heard Johnny snoring after he came home

a selkie, one that was cooped up with his wife. a selkie that… hadn’t seduced you and stolen you away. lips pressed against your hair, Simon closes his eyes. a selkie… hands settling over your stomach, he breathes out

Selkie-Human dialogue prompts

• ��Hey, wait up! You forgot your blanket!”

• “I can’t believe you don’t know the difference between seals and sea lions.”

• “I’m not going get cursed or something if I just touch it to hand it to you, right?”

• “Please stop crying, the sea is salt enough…”

• “Hear me out, I promise it’ll be worth it: sushi.”

• “I honestly don’t know what else to do, I’ve ‘forgotten’ my pelt at their place three times already!”

• “Oh sorry! Didn’t see you there, I thought I had the beach to myself.”

• “I need a sturdy chest, preferably made out of sandlewood, or something else that’ll keep the moths out. Could you build something like that?”

I think one of Tiernan's selkie sisters should have a swan maiden wife

ideas - Selkie Jason Todd

I read a few stories where Jason is a selkie and I just find it hilarious and here are a few small thoughts I had when I was looking through them.

----ex

When Jason goes to attack Tim he enters going into Tims room theb instead of attacking he catches Tim sleeping so he turns into his seal boi self and flops on Tim and when the others come their searching around completely missing the muffled yells of Tim under Jason.

Jason ends up flopping on top of the bats whenever he wants, like if Tim's sleep deprived flop. If Dick is overworking flop. If he's just angry for no reason flop. I fully believe one day the bats slick up the floor get on Jason as he's a seal and slides down the mansion hallway (they hit the wall)

I just love the thought of Jason sneaking around stealing stuff while a seal and when hes caught you just hear yelling and a seal flopping down the hallway with any of the other bats chasing him, I can just imagine him sneakily stealing some food and Alfred catches him.

Jason gets angry because the bats tend to try and pick him up and so far only Cass, Dick and Bruce had been able to pick him up easily.

He also sometimes mess with guests and other heros by just moving around like in the leagues base or around the town just to mess with people.

Basically he's a cute menace.

Describing perspective angles & horizon points is a lot harder than thinking of them....
