#Selkie Myth

[random-bookquotes]

An Oath, a promise, a vow, isn’t just for when things are easy. It’s not just to cover the convenient cases. It’s always.

How many of you know btdem

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is plainly my favorite series of all time and I'm a tad curious if anyone on this site cares about it outside of @randombookquotes

Now that I am feeling a bit better I am working through my backlog of Drawing Prompts! This one came from Poppy who asked for a selkie! I am not normally a buttcrack mermaid person but, I think selkies would probably have booties.

T4T mermaid/selkie my beloveds

As a trans person, I often find myself in awe of the way other trans people do gender, and I wanted to do a piece that reflected that love and wonderment. I tried to infuse this with all my adoration for the mutual love between people who are transitioning in sort of opposite directions.

Seeing trans people play with femininity in a way that makes them happy allows the ghost of the little girl I never was to sleep more soundly in my chest. How could I not fall in love with the rightful carers of a gender I was a steward for in my childhood? To see the way trans femmes make feminininty their own is such a unique and potent joy.

Anyways, thank you trans people for making the world more beautiful and full of color and life. I love you I love you I love you 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

Okay I've decided there's way too little selkie Percy Jackson content on this webbed site so here's my contribution:

You know those awful tales where the (usually female) selkie's skin is stolen and she has to be the asshole thief's spouse until she can either steal it back or be rescued by someone else?

I'm thinking about percabeth in a similar situation.

Imagine this: Annabeth aboard the Princess Andromeda, after Luke convinces her and some other demigods to join him in his rebellion against the gods. She is twelve years old and filled to the brim with anger. The gods do not care about her, or any of their children. They are pawns to them—faceless soldiers to use and nothing more.

It is this anger that motivates her to join Luke. It is this anger that brings her here, standing on the deck of Kronos's ship, harpoon in hand, staring into the churning sea below. Storm clouds gather ominously above as thunder crashes distantly— a telltale sign of another fight between zeus and poseidon.

The world is in chaos, with the lightning bolt and helm missing (stolen) the gods have only each other to blame. Most coastal regions are underwater now, and the storms never let up. It's miserable. She hasn't seen the sun in weeks.

But it won't be so for long. The gods are sufficiently distracted, too absorbed in their petty squabbles to notice them (not that they were ever paying attention) and it leaves them free to carry out their plans without any interference.

So here she is, her anger churning in her mind like the sea below, her grey eyes scanning the frothing depths for any movement. Something flits in her periphery vision– a seal's tail lightly breaking surface, a tanned hand curiously pressing against Andromeda's hull, an echoing bark drifting over the waves. She clutches her harpoon tighter.

Tonight, Annabeth Chase is hunting selkies.

-------------------------------------------------

For context, this is a really underdeveloped au where Percy is born a selkie and Sally asks Poseidon to take them someplace they can hide from Percy the gods and the mortals. So Percy grows up half feral, swimming with seals and knowing nothing of the world on land. The only human he's ever seen is Sally. Due to Poseidon's protections the monsters never find them so Percy never ends up going to camp half blood.

Meanwhile in camp, Luke is staging his grand rebellion and needs a certain prophesied potential destroyer of Olympus to join it. All Annabeth sees in her dreams are green eyes in the depths.

Mikladalur’s Kópakonan on the Faroe Islands Selkies are a variation on the mermaid concept in Scottish, Irish, Icelandic and Faroese folklore. They live in the sea as seals, but can shed their seal hide to become human on land. If their seal skin is hidden or stolen, they are unable to return to the sea. This 9 ft bronze and stainless steel statue of Kópakonan (The Seal Wife) was created by Hans Pauli Olsen and was installed in the Mikladalur Harbor on Kalsoy, one of the Faroe Islands, on August 1st, 2014. map The statue commemorates myths about selkies and in particular two well known myths about the Seal Wife on the Faroe Islands. Selkie stories are traditionally romantic tragedies, with the Selkie in most stories returning to the sea after several years as a Seal Wife to a human, leaving behind the husband and children. One well known story is about a beautiful Selkie trapped by a fisherman on the island of Kalsoy, who hides her seal skin while she is on land one night. Trapped, she becomes his wife and they have 2 children. One day however, he goes fishing and she finds her seal skin hidden in a chest in their home. She escapes back to her Selkie family after ensuring the children are cared for until the fisherman's return. She leaves behind a message to not follow her and to not harm her Selkie family. The fishermen however ignore the warning and end up killing both her Selkie husband and Selkie children. In revenge she curses the men of the island to die in frequent accidents until as many have perished as can link arms around the whole island. Terre-Mère   ::  [The Wonderful World]

There was a deep, primal instinct that screamed to take cover when disasters were occurring, and no matter how irrational it was, home was the safest place.

clearly some of you have a very different experience and understanding of what a selkie is than i do because when i think of selkies my first thought is NOT “love and trust” it’s “the horrifying reality of having your autonomy violated by someone you trusted”.

#also i would argue that selkie myths are inextricable from misogyny but that’s not what this post is about #c.txt

Nevermore's Lenore& Annabel Lee: They're in a bad place right now but I have hope for them.

Our Flag Means Death's Stede Gentlemen-Pirate Bonnet& Ed Blackbeard Teach : Very easy to rewatch these sweet, silly pirates fall in love over and over again.

Krapopolis' Deliria& Schlub: Gotta love a husband with unshakeable loyalty to his wife (they have an open marriage but Schlub will defend Deliria's violent antics)

Andy Bass' Hannah& Heather: vicious bully is only nice to the kind but ditzy Selkie. Inspirational!

Imagine like, a reverse selkie.

On land, just a normal person. No sealskin to carry around.

In water, they gotta lug their human skin with them wherever they go, or hide it somewhere.
