One selkie story tells of an old fisherman who finds a baby girl wrapped in a seal skin on the beach. He and his wife raise the baby, but when the child develops second sight, she is ostracized as a selkie.

A selkie and werewolf met on an mysterious island. What could go wrong? Spoiler: Everything!
When Victor is accused of murder, Thoma needs to find the truth fast, because justice on the island is deadly.

"The Salt in the Sea" is urbanish fantasy novella.

From Chapter 2 of "The Salt in the Sea" by JD Rivers: "The sky was clear and stars dotted the darkness stretching above. He hadn’t seen the stars in a long time. In the desert, it had been almost overwhelming, the band of the Milky Way stretching like a glittering ribbon, dwarfing one’s existence into something tiny and foolish."

Boringly: our minds repeat themselves, getting stuck on words, syntactic patterns, sounds, images.

Or you’re a selkie

THE BOYS ARE FIGHTINGGGG
A wideshot screencap from the documentary Seehund ahoi! (Seal ahoy!) by Erlebnis Erde on youtube, around the 33:54 time mark. Two mature grey seal bulls are fighting over a harem on a beach, with the rolling waves of the North Sea visible behind them. The one on the right is attempting to bite its opponent in the face, while the one on the left has its head thrown back, its mouth open on a roar. #seal #seals #greyseal #kegelrobbe #selkie

Selkies are matrilocal and exogamous, so a husband may move hundreds or thousands of miles to join his wife’s household after their wedding.

Once they’re too elderly to hunt and swim on their own, elderly selkies tend to join the household of their eldest daughter, niece, etc.

The front cover of a book entitled The Salt in the Sea by J. D. Rivers. Stylized artwork shows two men in a loose embrace, one shorter, light-skinned, and pale-haired, the taller one dark haired and darker skinned, both in casual modern-esque clothes. The taller one kisses the shorter one on the forehead, his hand clasping the shorter one's cheek. They stand before a blood-red circle with a star on it, and a brilliant blue wave surges behind them.

“It almost felt like a fictional memoir. I was surprised that so much feeling could be put into such a short book when it spanned across so many years. I usually struggle to connect with a story when it moves so much in such a short page count, but this was well done.”

Finally finished episode 113 of ill fame (will be up on Patreon on Friday). Felt like it took ages to make because I got sick for a week and it coincided with the sun setting at 3pm which threw me off

Only two more episode to go!

Today on Monster Hearts. An infernal, a selkie, and a witch all walk into a class room in a small town on a big Nordic island.

One of the potential sources of witch knowledge is "tumblr" and I'm having a lot of fun with that.
Screenshot of the Witch playbook from Monster Hearts 2, with several digital post its on it detailing tumblr magic sources (puff-puff percival, hate-fuck hecate, whores of wotan, sticky wet pages, and Christy Crow), witch punk bands (lich bitches, broom-rida, hate hate hate spawn, Manic Magpie Nightmare Girls), and hexes.

Oh how eager your kind are to meet you. And as the salt sets its seal on your silky skin, let the green sea rise up to greet you.
