over on patreon Tama asked for: ‘Selkies who live in a lake rather than an ocean, like irl Baikal seals’ so here are some fresh water friends. a jolly trader stepping out for the day, a dancer trying on an algae-dyed skirt, a cocky wrestler in pre-match ceremonial garb, and a bab.

General Selkie Facts:

Selkies in the Small Guide universe are somewhere between mermaids and werewolves. Except it would be more accurate to call them were-humanoids. They’re born in seal form and their skin doesn’t loosen until their first molt approaches. After this molt they can usually  remove their seal-skin at will, though many go their whole lives without completely removing it and just vibe in their half transformed forms by loosening their skins (seen here). They keep them attached as faux clothing since they’re able to split and mold the loose skin as they please. Also, trying to find somewhere to to keep clothes when you live in or near the water your whole life is a pain. This does not hurt, as seal-skin is strangely gelatinous  when loose and its tactile sense is kinda garbage. Like, if you stomp on someone’s skin with all your might they will certainly feel it, but it’d probably take them a while to figure out that you’re gently pinching one of their weird flesh tentacles.

Also don’t do that. That’s weird. 

A seal-skin is a real living part of a selkie’s body and it doesn’t stop living when they completely take it off. It’s an organ, and it acts like one. All skins look kind of creepy without a person inside them, but some are worse than others. It’s just as likely that a skin will look like a deflated, gently pulsating, seal-shaped jelly monster as it will a roiling pile of random fur and flesh. When there’s no one to control its structure, anything goes baybeeeeee.

"I was actually talking about the one where you made a sofa from the skins of your enemies," Delphi said, smirking. "And I like my dear cousin. Oh, he leaves much to be desired sometimes in his dueling, but he's smart." She paused, frowning. "Will you never announce my parentage?" She tried to control the question, to toss it out casually, but she felt the slight waver at the end, the way her tone emphasixed the word "never," and cursed her voice's betrayal. In truth, Delphini longed for the day her Father told the world who she was. But her Father was not exactly one you can wear down, or exhibit impatience with. If pleading worked, her mother would have ensured it be public knowledge years ago.

"My apologies, Father, I am sure you will do it when the timing is best." If at all.

"You should really hear some of the rumors about you. Comedic gold" - delphi

"Which one? That rumor that my inferi army are made up of the bodies of my ancestors? Or that I have fathered the Malfoy's heir?"

The last one caused him a shiver, "You would think a heir of mine would be more-"

Voldemort paused to considered the right word for the nervous Scorpius Malfoy, "-competent."

He considered Delphi, the peek of what he considered a proper heir. Cunning, loyal, ruthless and talented with a flare for danger.

"'Tis a shame not to announce you. Yet, better to leave the mass guessing. Truth is wasted on the simple minded."

If I do something good because it makes me feel like a good person, is that technically selfish?

no, only if you're choosing to make others suffer to make yourself feel good

enjoying making other people happy is a great thing
