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.
Selkies tend to not let their skins out of their sight. Sure they can live without them, some have had to do so for decades, but staying in a completely human form for too long can have all sorts of nasty side effects. Chronic joint pain, depression, migraines, not to mention the fact that their immune systems aren't usually equip to handle germs from inland critters. Also, even though seal-skins usually attach to their bodies with ease, that gets harder with time. Someone who's  been kept away from their skin for 10 years isn't going to have the control they once had, and it might take weeks for them to stop looking like a seal shaped horror-terror while it fully reattaches. Even then, they'll always look...off. They call it 'transformation scarring' and it's the fear of every selkie.
You know all those fairytales about men stealing seal-skins and forcing selkies to marry them? Yeah, those weren't made by humans. Those are selkie horror stories that humans picked up and beat with the whimsy stick. And the worst part is that if you find the original versions of those stories? They're true! Specific names of the missing cows (and bulls because Nerpa selkies especially are pretty androgynous to humans with the males only being a little taller) and everything. The details just end up getting scrubbed. There have been legit selkie/human partnerships, but they look markedly different from the standard human setup. More like a long distance relationship with frequent visits and less like a kidnapping.  Also, more polyamory.
Nerpa selkies have had few problems with the humans in their territory, even during the war times when selkie trafficking was at an all time high. Many factors contribute to this. An incredibly inhospitable climate far from trafficers usual routes, solidarity with the nearby non-selkie tribes who thought the war was bullshit, the 17 feral drowned men that forever roam the shores of the deepest lake in the world looking for sinners, bears, ect. Also Nerpa selkies are tiny and round even when full human, the very VERY tallest among them being 5ft.  Rich menagerie keepers would buy them as occasional exotic touches, but found them less aesthetically pleasing than taller, thinner, selkies with more intricately patterned skins, and would often abandon them in humanoid curio shops when they got something rarer.
Fucked up.
Random tiny Facts:
Their skin isn't grey, they're just covered in grey peach fuzz. Selkies from warmer climates have little to no fuzz in their humanoid form.
Longer hair is only in full human form.
Selkies can transplant their skins to other selkies but they can be rejected like any skin graft.
Seal-skins stay alive independent of the main body for a long time, sometimes even longer than the selkie themselves. However, if it's not transplanted onto another selkie or preserved in some way it will die and start to rot about a month after its owner's death. Skins kept in bad conditions will also become sickly and start to rot in places, giving the selkie the equivalent of long distance gangrene.
During the war, seal-skins were highly prized by mermaid pirates and their allies as they would always point their snouts towards the rest of their body. This helped them find and rescue many selkies, as well as recover the dead.
Much like Sirenians, they cover their bits most of the time to set humans at ease even though they too don't have the human 'out and about' genital situation and frankly don't give a flying fish about a titty.
Scared of bears.
Excellent athletes (do not agree to wrestle a Nerpa if you know what's good for you)
Don't look into their eyes for too long.

Set in episodes 159-160 | Scottish Safehouse Period (The Magnus Archives)
[Image ID: A digital drawing of Martin from the Magnus archives sitting shirtless at a table in front of a window. Martin is a fat, white, non-op trans man with glasses and reddish brown hair. He is leaning on his forearm against the table and holding on to a steaming yellow mug. There is a cuckoo clock on the wall behind him styled to look like a barn, and decorated with two small highland cows. The clock indicates that it is 11:00 am. The window is overlooking the Scottish countryside. It is cloudy and rainy. Martin is looking off screen with a small contented smile, the intended implication being that he is smiling at Jon, who has just walked into the room. End image ID]
