And Also The General Idea That Selkies Are Sapient Souls That End Up In Selkie Skins - Tumblr Posts

shoutout to my girl selkie, who is based off of. the general mythology surrounding selkies.

she has 5 kids, 2 of them were murdered, 3 of them she turned into rocks, she has placed a curse on her ex husband, her hair is always in a state of slightly damp and she isn't even a human. her favorite food is raw fish that she caught herself. ilove her dearly.
i love limbus ocs with unusual sources. like novel sources are cool and all but when i see a limbus oc whose source is a childrens story, or a myth, or a song, or a cryptid, or a niche historical reference, i get so fucking happy. if youre thinking of making a limbus oc but are worried cause your oc isnt based off of some novel from the 1800d. this is your sign. make that limbus oc soldier.

yes i took this post as a free opportunity to ramble about my own oc i hope you dont mind op
her main inspo is 'the legend of the kopakonan' from the faroe islands
but there are also some other seal story elements ive rolled into her as well
like how some selkies turn their kids into stone
and also the general idea that selkies are sapient souls that end up in selkie skins
i could ramble more about her (i have so many ideas abt her) but i need to keep some secrets abt her
considering i am going to be putting her in an actual fanwork soon enough
