Can selkies be walruses rather than seals?

(and would they show up on someone's doorstep in pinniped form to prank them?)

This is a very "what's your angle" question. No one is the boss of folklore and mythology; there's something to be said for treating any tradition that isn't your own with respect, and never making someone else's gods your monsters. That said, if you want to create a fantasy world where "selkie" is a catch-all term for any sort of pinniped that can turn into a human, go for it. No one gets to stop you.

According to actual folklore as we understand it? No. You're not going to find a traditional Celtic story where a walrus takes off their skin and is a hot chick underneath. By that standard, calling a shape-shifting walrus a selkie is inaccurate and I wouldn't do it, personally.

Either way, if you're trying to preserve something of the classic selkie story, they aren't big tricksters most of the time. I'd avoid it. But it's your call.

Holly visited the new groomer today, and I just saw the "report card" they sent over as we drive over to get her.

Merissa always used to write "good girl" under "additional notes" section.

The new groomer went with "SWEET PERFECT ANGEL" in all caps with multiple exclamation points, so I think it went well 😅

i think a LOT of you with chronic conditions should learn this one magical phrase to get your hospital doctor to shit his entire pants, which is leaving the room and saying "im going to go discuss your behavior with the ethics committee, i think you might need a reminder of what your job is"

i can't believe i've witnessed several practicing veterinarians defending extreme brachycephaly by arguing that brachycephalic skulls occur naturally in several species in the wild. yeah debrah the difference is that tarsiers evolved flat faces over millions of years and humans have squished pug skulls in like 200 years. none of its insides have otherwise adapted to that shape it's all crammed in there.

look how neatly arranged and tidy the tarsier jaws are, that just isn't comparable to a longer snouted animal we have selectively bred to be very short in a fraction of the timespan.

You know how there's a subset of martial arts Tiktok where people post short vids of them doing a quick routine/choreography?

People in Gotham post blurry clips of the Bats, and a few martial artists challenge each other to reproduce the moves. One vid goes viral and more people start to give it a try, including non martial artists, who just meme with the choreography/try to imitate some moves just in good fun (and whoa some dancers and gymnasts do surprisingly well)

It naturally gets back to the Wayne brood, except, of course, the real challenge for them is to fail in a believable way.

Tim, on camera: "I was nearly good enough for the Olympics, surely I can do that...? Let's find out."

[cue footage of him falling down, cartoon-style, right as Damian was walking by and getting both of them drenched in Dami's smoothie]

---

Jason sees the compilation someone made of Bruce's ridiculous attempts at reproducing the moves (Tim and Steph roped him into their shenanigans.)

Two days later, a video of Red Hood goes viral: it's him condescendingly explaining how to throw a punch and challenging Bruce Wayne to do it properly because "no Gothamite should be so shit at fighting"

Bruce is verklempt when he watches it, because some of it is word-for-word how he taught baby!Jay

---

Tim gives Damian blurry, grainy footage of Black Bat to imitate. After that, Dami spends days hounding Cass for training because he nearly broke his nose tripping over his own feet.

---

Dick flawlessly lands a flip in front of all the others with "ASSERTING DOMINANCE" written on screen before winking at the camera.

Right before the video cuts, Tim's voice can be heard saying, "Whatever, your ass is still flat compared to Nightw—"
