Isn’t it time we subvert the tragedy of the selkie and swan maiden tropes of having their coats and their agency stolen and instead have a story of a swan maiden and a leopard seal selkie terrorising their respective towns until they’re both exiled on the same island together and at first they hate each other

But I think you can all guess where this is going

Featuring:

Swan maiden: How the fuck do they expect us to build a shelter???? NEITHER OF US HAVE HANDS

Selkie: *already shimmying out of her seal skin* Not dressed like that you don’t

Swan maiden: You gonna put anything else on? No? Ok. She’s building a house. Naked. In the snow.

Swan maiden: Sure hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me

imagine if the selkie managed to teach the magic of turning human to the swan princess leaving the princess with a swan coat
