Every Mentor/Mentee Relationship Ranked (Most to Least Fav)

1. All Might & Deku: They are one of the main relationships in MHA. I love that their dynamic is also a father-son one. My favorite moment is when All Might made Izuku a bento for him.

2. Hawks & Tokoyami: Their relationship was so interesting because their attitudes are different but mesh so well. I really liked that Tokoyami’s power grew when mentored by Hawks. Also, Tokoyami cried the first time when Hawks was grievously hurt and his spy status was revealed.

3. Gran Torino & Deku: I like their dynamic and Gran Torino helped Izuku level up his power. Deku incorporating Torino’s scarf was sweet but would’ve been better if the latter died (still shocked he didn’t die from Shigaraki’s attack).

4. Fat Gum, Kirishima, & Amajiki: Fat Gum’s jovial personality matches well with Kirishima while his supportive trait helped Amajiki grow. Fat Gum is also a fun character and he’s one of my favorite pro heroes.

5. Aizawa & Shinso: I was so happy that Shinso got a chance to try out the Hero Course. Aizawa giving Shinso a replica of his signature scarf and teaching him to be stealthy was great and upgraded Shinso’s hero potential. I wish they had more moments together.

6. Best Jeanist & Bakugo: I didn’t really care about this mentor/mentee relationship until it was implied that Bakugo wanted to wait and tell Jeanist his hero name first. Afterwards, I grew to really like it.

7. Sir Nighteye & Mirio: I liked how much they cared about each other. I teared up when Mirio cried after Nighteye’s goodbye and death. I think it would’ve been higher on the list if Nighteye didn’t die so soon.

8. Endeavor, Deku, Bakugo, & Shoto: I think I would’ve liked this group if more time was dedicated to the training. Shoto got better, but I don’t think Deku and Bakugo progressed that much compared to Todoroki.

9. Selkie & Tsuyu: Selkie’s a fun character and was a good mentor to Tsuyu. His louder personality and Tsuyu’s calmer one worked well. I liked the episodes he was in.

10. Ryuku, Uraraka, Tsuyu & Nejire: I like all these characters and their personalities meshed well. Ryuku seemed like a good mentor and hero but her character wasn’t that interesting.

11. Uraraka & Gunhead: Gunhead’s martial arts helped Uraraka throughout the series, but there is only one moment where their dynamic was shown. Gunhead seems like a nice guy though.

12. Midnight & Mina: I had no idea Midnight was Mina’s mentor until her death. I never really cared for Midnight so I was more angry with how her death was written than her actual death. I’m glad it led to Mina being a bit more prominent at least.

13. Uwabami, Momo, & Kendo: I was disappointed that Momo’s mentorship was this. I really wanted to see her potential grow, but all she did was the commercial. I didn’t care for the pro-hero and had to search up her name. The only good thing from this sequence is Momo and Kendo’s friendship. I understand that it wasn’t meant to show Stain’s point, but I’m disappointed that Momo didn’t progress like the other characters.

14. Manual & Iida: Manual was a nice guy and got along well with Iida.

Selkie OC Dave x Chubby Reader.

(2/?)

(Warning- Language and slight violence.)

I sigh as I close the door to the apartment/house and start driving to Tanya's house (same as before if it's your name sorry and just change it) it's a good thing he's asked me to drive him to the skanks house from our trips to the beach nearby because its time to get my seal pups pelt back.

He honestly looks miserable right now and I can't tell if it's from heartbreak or from his pelt being stolen, probably from both. Damnit Dave I knew that bitch was no good for you. Fuck now I have to go and get his pelt back from that pile of shit and if she burned it I swear to god I'll be going to prison because that bitch will be dead. (Bluff though she would be beaten up pretty badly.)

Who the fuck would even do that taking a selkies pelt is equivalent to taking a part of their soul away from them. Shit it's no wonder mostly all so called "monsters" try to stay out of sight and away from people or just hide all the time, except for the elves and orcs, but when they do come out of hiding shit like this happens to them.

Oh shit almost passed the house. After getting out of the car and knocking on the front door I take a step back. "Hello- Oh, what the fuck do you want you fat cow!?" "Oh real original you bleach blonde tramp, and what I want if my best fucking friends pelt back that you stole from him the other night you whore!"

"Oh really that freak wants his pelt back? Aw poor baby, hah no way in hell would I give it to you, in fact I'm gonna sell it you can get a lot of money for seal skin." Well there goes being civil with this bitch. I punch her once and she hits the floor out cold. "Well looks like I was more pissed off than I thought."

After thirty minutes of searching through this crusty bitches house I found his pelt in her dirty clothes. Nasty looks like I also need to buy Lysol now, who knows what fucking STD's are on this now. But I least I got what I came for and I got to punch the bitch.

Now to get some groceries and an air mattress for Davey. I can't wait to see the look on his face once I give him his pelt back, after it's washed of course because the Lysol might irritate Dave's skin. After getting all the necessities including some fish from Wal-Mart it's time to head home, I'll get him some fresh fish from the market later right now I just am in a rush to get home I've already been gone for almost an hour and a half.

After unlocking the door I can see that Dave is still asleep. Poor guy had a rougher night then I thought. After bringing all the groceries in and tripping twice once over his shoes and the seconds time over the edge of coffee table without somehow waking Dave meant he was going to be out for awhile. Oh well this is the perfect opportunity to wash his pelt in the bathtub with super hot water and dawn dish soap.

Once I was done with washing his pelt which mind you it took 20 minutes to do because I was soaking it in the super hot water to make sure any germs where dead for good, I hung it up on the towel rack behind the bathroom door to cool down from it's hot soak in the tub.

Seeing as it's 10:30 a.m. decided a nice way to wake Davey up was to his favorite meal, lemon zest fish fillets for a late breakfast. I better make all twelve fillets I bought, he really likes fish and could win an eating competition if the food was fish or a fish dish of anykind. Halfway through cooking them though I heard him timidly ask me.

"When did you get home I would've helped you carry everything in, also you didn't have to cook for breakfast either, I could have or at least helped you prepare it." "Its fine sweetheart you where sleeping pretty hard and gods know you need it and I'm tougher than I look, also the food will be done soon if you want to take a seat at the table." "Okay but I'm going to set the table and clean the dishes once where done, your doing so much for me already I need to help out."

"Alright I won't argue but don't do to much we don't need you getting sick." I say as I serve the food which was lemon zest tilapia and some mashed potatoes and green beans. "What happened to your hand!?" he says as he grabs my right hand. Oh shit there is some bruising form punching that half plastic self centered bitch. "Um.. Well about that I'll tell you after we eat some breakfast. (He can eat fish for evey meal without caring or getting tired of it though he doesn't, all the time.)

"Alright but I don't like that your hurt." "It's fine it doesn't even hurt really, now shush up and eat." That was a lie after he grabbed it not only did my heart start racing but my hand is now throbbing in pain.

After where done eating which I can say was pretty fast I practically inhaled the food along with Dave when I usually take my time but I'm so excited to see how he reacts when I give him his pelt back that I couldn't help it, and well not eating anything all morning certainly didn't help matters any.

"Okay I'm gonna put the dishes in the sink and I want you to tell me how you hurt you hand." "Fine but first I have to go get something so just sit back down I'll be right back." I say as I run down the hall and enter the bathroom after grabbing the silky soft and smooth pelt I rush back towards the kitchen and stop in just before the door way.

"Okay Dave close your eyes." "Okay but y/n you didn't need to get me a anything else." Waking to a stop a few feet in front of him. "Yeah yeah, I know but I didn't get you anything I'm simply returning something." "What?" I have the pelt folded up in my outstretched hands. "I got your pelt back for your from your bitch of an ex this morning, thats how I hurt my hand but I couldn't tell you without ruining the surprise!"

I place his pelt in his lap and the reaction I got was certainly not the reaction I was expecting. First he smiled then he blushed so hard his face looked like a tomato, and then he passed out. "Dave!!??"

(Y/n's pov)

It was supposed to be a lazy Saturday where I sleep in until noon and then have a movie marathon with all my favorite movies and snacks, bundled up in a crap ton of blankets on the couch for a little me time... Well that was what I had planned to do the night before but sadly I was woken up at 7 a.m. by my best friend and secret crush Dave banging on the front door. "Dave seriously what in the fuck, it's seven in the morning." Rubbing my eyes and giving him the best glare I could, which wasn't much because I'm half asleep still. Dave barged in and practically ran to my room and launched himself on my bed. "Cuddles." he whimpered.

"Come on and get the fuck out of my room Dave." Its to early for this shit, I don't really want him to leave my bed but I won't be able to fall back asleep with him here, and I was up till 2 a.m. to complete fucking paperwork in order to be fucking lazy today and this little shit is waking me up at 7 a.m. Though if I wasn't so grumpy from just waking up I would have noticed he wasn't his usual cheerful self.

"No..." "The fuck you mean no, I had a late night and I want to sleep in, go cuddle with your bitch Tanya (sorry if that's your name, just change it) and leave me be to drown in the beautiful thing called sleep for a few more hours."

What I wasn't expecting was him to start crying.

"Dave?" Oh fuck..."Hey, hey I'm sorry, shit calm down it's okay you can stay, fuck I'll even cuddle with you if you'll please just stop crying!" I say as I wrap my arms around him. "Come on sweetheart tell me what's wrong?" "....."

"What was that sweetheart your mumbling?"

Sniffling and hugging me tightly he whispers. "I can't she broke up with me because she found out I'm a selkie and she took my pelt before she kicked me out... I was staying at Nicks (another oc I'm working on whose a kelpie) house last night.... Can I please stay?.... Just for a little while?"

"Of course Davey you can for as long as you want, and wait Nicks the kelpie down the road that lives in the lake. You didn't sleep outside last night did you?"

He just lowers his head and won't look me in the eye. Well that answers that question and explains why he looks half dead with exhaustion and has twigs in his hair, he doesn't have his pelt so he couldn't go into the water and sleep like he would normally, my poor little seal pup. He must feel so miserable and helpless without his pelt. Well I'm going to change that, the stupid bitch won't know what hit her.

"Hey Davey, I need to get dressed and go somewhere real quick. You can steal some of my sleep pants or shorts and a t-shirt from the dresser, I'm bigger than you anyways so they should be comfy, that way you can take a nap in my bed until I get back okay?"

"Okay, yeah that sounds nice but where are you going n/n?"

"I need to get some groceries and an air mattress for you so you don't have to sleep on the couch."

I don't say it but the main reason I'm going is to beat that bitch Tanya into the ground and get his pelt back.

"Oh no you don't need to trouble yourself by getting that for me the couch would suffice just fine, I'm honestly just glad your letting me stay here."

"Don't be a dork it's no trouble and I wouldn't let anybody sleep on that lump of cloth trying to be a couch."

He smiled a meek sad little smile but it was a start. "Okay but you have to let me help around the house to pay you back okay."

"Alright sounds fair I'll be back as quick as I can okay?"

"Okay, and thank you y/n for everything."

"Anytime hun, anytime."

I love this so muucchhhh

Chapter 3: Falling Hard

Bowser observed from a distance, anxiously clasping his hands. The moon cast its luminous glow overhead, providing sufficient illumination to discern the offering gently swaying on the waves. Would they even be awake at this time? Do selkies even sleep? He thought. These thoughts occupied his mind as he shook his head in disbelief and exhaled audibly. Determined, the captain remained steadfast, yearning for any indication of the enigmatic creature's arrival.

 As the minutes turned into hours, the captain's mind raced with questions. Would the selkie be lured by the offering he had carefully prepared? Would it even be interested in what he had to offer? Doubt gnawed at him, making him question whether this endeavor was worth his time and effort. Yet, deep down, Bowser knew that this encounter could change everything for him and his crew. A selkie’s blessing could be of great help against King Boo and-

Swish…

Bowser swiftly redirected his focus to the levitating basket. He delved into his pocket and extracted a spyglass. The captain observed with mounting astonishment as a seal cautiously approached, gracefully gliding around the basket before drawing nearer. The creature delicately brushed the flowers with its snout, then fixated its gaze upon the radiant gemstone. With a fluid motion akin to removing a garment, the selkie effortlessly shed its skin, revealing its true form.

A gasp escaped his lips. 

Part of the seal’s body turned into a human form. A very breathtakingly handsome human with the most mesmerizing azure eyes he’s ever seen, conveying a sense of intelligence and warmth. Despite the seawater, he had a gorgeous mane of brown ringlets that practically glowed. The transformed selkie turned to the side and locked eyes with Bowser.

Bowser felt a jolt of surprise shoot through him as he found himself captivated by the selkie's gaze. Those blue eyes seemed to hold a depth of knowledge and understanding that Bowser had never encountered before. It was as if the selkie could see into his very soul, unraveling the layers of his being with just one look.

As their eyes met, an unspoken connection formed between them, transcending the boundaries of species and language. Bowser could sense a mixture of curiosity and compassion emanating from the selkie's gaze.

Then they dove underwater, shattering the eye contact. 

Bowser gathered his jaw from the floor, then feverishly looked for the selkie once again. He couldn’t believe what just happened; he actually saw his alternate form! As he frantically scanned the water's surface, Bowser's heart raced and his tail wagged madly with anticipation. This was more than what he hoped for. And it felt like the selkie allowed the moment to happen. Bowser felt like he was going to faint-

“Mrrrp?”

The tiny, adorable noise interrupted his thoughts. The large Koopa looked down and was met with the selkie as he leant forward out of the water. Bowser yelped in surprise, then fell backwards; he wobbled back and forth as instinctually tried to right himself up. A splash came from in front of him and a drenched hand grabbed his shirt, pulling him to his side. Just perfectly so he was face to face with the handsome man of the sea once again.

“Stai bene?” {Are you okay?}

Bowser raised an eyebrow at the strange language. “Um… uh-”

The hand holding his shirt moved to his chest. Bowser let out an involuntary purr and felt his face heat up. The selkie didn’t seem to mind his reaction. He simply nodded his head, as if to say he was satisfied with something. “Cuore molto forte... Adatto a qualcuno come te,” {Very strong heart… Fitting for someone like you.}

“Um… hello you too?” said the captain. 

“Grazie per la gemma... è molto carina,” {Thank you for the gem… It’ very pretty.}

Bowser nodded, despite having no clue on what he was saying. Suddenly the selkie turned his head towards an unknown sound. He removed his hand from his chest and started to move back into the sea. The captain whined at the loss of contact. The half-transformed man frowned at him. “Mi spiace devo andare,” and with those words, he disappeared.

╚══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╝

Luigi floated on a bed of seagrass, watching the rays of sunlight glisten through the water. He fiddled with the gemstone in his flippers. After receiving that basket… he felt like he was eternally floating. He had been right… These gems had been a gift for him. The captain was trying to get his attention. Their interaction from last night nurtured the seed of affection that was planted in his heart.

Luigi could still feel the warm, smooth scales beneath his fingertips, how the captain seemed to enjoy the short-lived contact. His face had even changed color after a little while; the selkie didn’t even know landfolk could do that! And the way he was looking at him and how comfortable Luigi felt with his presence. The captain was also very powerful, harboring an inner fire of such potency that he has never sensed before.

Suddenly sand floated down on him.

The selkie jumped, swimming upwards. He looked to the side and saw Mario, bobbing his head up and down in silent laughter. Luigi bared his fangs and slapped him with his tail, causing his twin brother to spin. With a scoff, Luigi tucked the gemstone into a hidden pocket then swam off. He doesn’t want Mario to know about the captain’s gift or his intention of pursuing the captain romantically. A small part of him still couldn’t believe his forwardness.

As Luigi swam away, his heart raced with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The selkie had been enchanted by the captain's gift, a beautiful gemstone that seemed to hold the essence of the sea itself. It was a token of affection, a symbol of their deepening connection. Oh, how he wished they could understand each other.

Without realizing it, Luigi found himself on land and into their cove home. He walked over to his bed and touched the flowers he had woven into the strands. The plants had lost some of their petals but that didn’t make them any less beautiful or meaningful to him. 

Mario walked into their home, shaking water off his hair. Luigi groaned and tried to move away from the spray. The older twin smiled and laughed mischievously, “What are you hiding?” he asked.

Luigi’s breath hitched. “N-nothing.”

Mario raised an eyebrow, his mischievous smile widening. He knew his brother too well to believe that response. "Come on, Luigi," he teased, stepping closer and playfully tousling his wet hair. "I can always tell when you're hiding something."

“I’m not hiding anything; you’re being weird.”

His older twin hummed, unconvinced. Luigi made a face, then came up with the perfect distraction. “D-don’t you have to see the princess today?”

Mario’s eyes dilated. “Oh! I totally forgot!”

“How could you forget you had a date with Peach?!”

“It's not a date. Not this time anyway… She wants an update on the pirates and see if they’ll leave or not,” he replied. “If they do plan on staying, she wants us to chase them away.”

Luigi tensed at that. He understands that Peach had a horrible interaction with a pirate before it felt wrong to generalize landfolk like that. Especially, considering the fact that he wanted to court a certain pirate captain. Luigi rubbed his arm, “W-well, what if they did want to stay? They’ve been rather peaceful so far,” he said.

Mario sighed. “Luigi, I appreciate your optimism, but they cannot stay,” he said firmly. “They may appear peaceful now, but when they expand, they’ll tear down the trees and eventually end up in the lagoon-”

“I still think this is unfair.”

Mario pressed his lips together, looking like he wanted to argue but stopped himself. He knew Luigi had a big heart and always saw the best in everyone, but this situation was different. Even if Luigi had made a further argument, Mario’s decision would have been the same considering everything he has heard about the sea voyagers. Mario sighed, “We’ll see how it goes,” he said. “Keep an eye on them; I’ll be back by sundown.”

Luigi fought back the excited noise that built up in his throat. Mario had basically given him permission to see the captain. He was still a little upset over how dismissive he was but he would try again later. Right now, he has a very handsome pirate to see.

.

.

.

As soon as Mario was gone, Luigi put on his coat then swam towards the ship. He looped around, looking around for the familiar spiked shell. He stayed underwater and would surface on occasion to look. He stopped by the rocks where they met, but sadly he wasn’t there. Luigi quickly moved on and eventually caught sight of the family shell. The captain was gathering wood, near the estuary. 

Overcome with excitement, the selkie galumphed onto the sandy shore and towards the large male. Luigi's heart raced with anticipation as he approached the captain, his flippers propelling him forward in swift, graceful movements. The captain turned around, startled by the unexpected visitor, and his eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of Luigi.

“It’s you!”

Luigi had no idea what he was saying, but judging by the tone, the pirate was just as happy as he was. With a joyful bark, the selkie approached closer. The captain sat on the sand, grinning; his tail was slightly wagging behind him. 

Without slight apprehension, the land creature reached out his hand towards Luigi, who instinctively nuzzled against it affectionately. Their connection transcended language barriers as they communicated through gestures and expressions alone. It was as if they understood each other on a deeper level than mere words could convey.

Ch. 2: The Sea's Curious Eyes

Luigi was perplexed as to why he engaged in this forbidden act. His brother had explicitly prohibited it and with good reason. Nevertheless, he defied his brother's words and emerged from the ocean's depths, stepping onto the stable ground.

The young selkie concealed himself behind a cluster of rocks, draping his enchanted coat over his shoulders. From a secure vantage point, he observed the pirate captain effortlessly casting his net into the vast expanse of the ocean. Luigi attentively watched as the mariner skillfully reeled in his catch, taking note of the captain's impressively defined arm and chest muscles.

He had never encountered a being quite like this before. It was evident that this individual was not human, not only due to their distinct physical appearance, but also because of their remarkable affinity for the sea. Luigi observed with fascination as the reptilian creature skillfully plucked fish from the net, carefully selecting only those it required and returning the rest to the ocean. The captain's nurturing behavior towards the marine ecosystem was truly remarkable. Luigi tilted his head and cooed. He’s taking what he needs, he thought. 

The mustachioed selkie has witnessed this unfortunate occurrence far too often: entire reefs decimated by individuals driven by self-interest. He has found himself consoling sharks in their final moments, as they are callously tossed back into the water with their fins brutally torn from their bodies. On a few occasions, he and his brother have taken on the responsibility of nurturing an orphaned whale calf, left motherless due to the insatiable pursuit of profit.

But yet, here stood someone who clearly defied all that.

After he gathered enough, the turtle-dragon reached into his pocket and retrieved a piece of cloth; once he held it to the light, Luigi saw there was a gemstone within. The captain walked deeper into the tide, then dropped the gem into the sea where it was quickly swallowed by a wave; a thank you for the sustenance it provided. 

Mario was wrong about these pirates, if they even were that to begin with. Luigi has never seen such a respectful gesture for the sea. Whoever they are, the selkie would like to know them. His heart was racing at the thought. 

The captain kneeled down and grabbed the basket of fish, stopping a moment to wipe his brow before setting off down the beach. Luigi gasped softly, then quickly slipped his coat on and sank into the watery depths. He raced towards the spot the captain had just been mere moments ago, scouring the sands below. After a few minutes, he found what he was looking for.

The beautiful gem the captain dropped to the sea.

.

.

.

Once again, ignoring his brother’s words, Luigi continued observing the island’s visitor from a distance for the rest of the day. He watched from a safe distance (so Mario couldn’t technically reprimand him)  and tried to remain in his seal form. For the most part, it would seem the crew was just passing by and resting after a seemingly long trip.

They weren’t doing anything harmful, just playing on the beach and maintaining their ship. It was a rather domestic sight; furthermore, it soothed his fears and anxieties that they were to cause harm. And with that settled, Luigi decided to call it a day and head back to the den. Mario must be wondering where he was.

╚══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╝

Oh, Bowser was more than aware he was being watched. He could see their silhouette out of the corner of his eye and could smell them from his position; despite that, the captain was not too concerned. 

It wasn’t every day he was within the presence of a selkie.

Kamek has told him stories of the mysterious creatures ever since he was little, how they were shape-shifters that took the appearance of seals and guarded reefs. At first, Bowser didn’t believe it was a selkie spying on them from a distance; however, his encounter and their scent proved otherwise. He remembered vividly that the seal that interrupted his nap had vibrant blue eyes, something he had never seen or heard occur in seals; furthermore, they had a darker spot on their snout that looked a lot like a mustache. 

Not only did their appearance differ, but their behavior exhibited a higher level of sentience compared to that of a typical animal. These distinctive qualities served as undeniable evidence supporting Bowser's assertion. However, possessing this knowledge did not provide him with much assistance. The presence of a selkie, a harbinger of good fortune, following him was indeed an honorable occurrence, but how does he respond?! 

Bowser dropped a jewel into the sea, but was that enough? The least he wanted to do was insult the guardian of this island! He also worried that he may have somehow upset them; after all, they were being rather vigilant towards him. He should consult Kamek as soon as he can.

With a huff of smoke, Bowser headed down the beach and boarded the ship, weaving his way through the relaxed crew. Some seemed to be playing betting games, playing Liar’s dice or darts; others busied themselves writing letters to loved ones or preparing meals for the day. The captain smiled softly at the sight, then headed below the decks and toward the officer’s quarters. 

Entering the officer's quarters, Bowser found Kamek engrossed in a collection of maps and charts spread across a large wooden table. The quartermaster looked up and adjusted his glasses, “Hello captain, how did your net fishing go?” he asked.

Bowser walked over and grabbed a stool. “Got quite the catch today; the crew will be happy having fresh fish rather than the dry rations for supper for the next few days.”

“Yes, our rations have been low so this will most certainly buy us some time before we reach the next ” replied Kamek. “However, you didn’t come here to tell me about that.”

The aging sailor got up and grabbed a book from the lining shelves; he flicked through its pages before walking back to the desk. Bowser nervously wrung his hands, “You’re right about that,” he said. He waited a moment for Kamek to get comfortable before just coming out to say it. 

“We are being watched by a selkie.”

Kamek's eyes widened in surprise as he absorbed Bowser's words. The mention of a selkie immediately piqued his interest, for he knew that these mythical creatures were known to possess magical abilities and had a deep connection with the sea.

"Are you certain?" Kamek asked, his voice filled with a mix of curiosity and concern. "How did you come to this conclusion?"

Bowser leaned forward in his chair, brow furrowed. "I've been noticing some strange occurrences lately," he explained. "Unexplained ripples in the water, glimpses of a shimmering figure disappearing beneath the waves, and an eerie feeling that we're constantly being observed."

Suddenly Kamek appeared in front of him, clutching his shirt. He stared intently into Bowser’s eyes, “Do you have any idea what this means?!”

“No… That’s why I’m telling you,”

Kamek let go and started pacing, “Selkies are such skittish creatures; rightfully so, considering there are wretched bastards out there willing to steal their coats.”

Bowser growled at the mention. To steal a selkie’s coat was to steal a piece of them; it was a truly despicable crime. And the fact that most did so to force the magical creatures into marriage just made it even more horrible. They have every right to be afraid of landfolk. Kamek snapped his fingers, catching his attention. “Bowser, you haven’t told anyone else about your suspicions, right?” he asked.

The captain shook his head. “I wasn’t about to risk their safety,” he replied. “But what does this mean? Why are they so interested in us?”

Kamek tapped his chin and walked around. The two stood there, mulling over the situation. After a few moments of silence, the quartermaster snapped his fingers, “Perhaps they misunderstood our presence,” he said. He walked over to his desk and retrieved some random materials; a polished gemstone, an empty bottle, and other miscellaneous items. Bowser watched as he walked around, grabbing ingredients from baskets and shelves.

The captain watched as he worked with a confused look on his face. Kamek threw them into the cauldron, then looked at an old calendar behind his seat. Mumbling under his breath, the koopa continued going, completely ignoring his presence. Bowser crossed his arms, “What’re you doing?” he asked. 

Kamek started stirring the contents in the cauldron. “Preparing an offering for you to give them,” he replied. “Tonight’s a full moon, so it’s perfect! With this, we may be able to convince them that we mean no harm.”

“Why do I have to do it?” asked Bowser.

“Because you were the one that noticed their presence and are the captain of this ship.”

Bowser grumbled. It’s not that he doesn’t want to do this; he’s just deadly afraid he’ll mess up and insult the selkie. As Kamek continued to stir the contents in the cauldron, a mixture of herbs and mystical ingredients, Bowser couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He glanced at Kamek, who seemed confident in their plan. "But what if they don't believe us? What if they attack instead?" Bowser voiced his concerns, his voice laced with worry.

Kamek paused for a moment, considering Bowser's words. "I understand your fears, Bowser," he replied calmly. "But we have to try. The selkies are powerful beings, and if we can convince them that our intentions are peaceful, they might even bless us."

Bowser sighed heavily, realizing that Kamek was right. He had been the one to notice the presence of the selkies near their ship during their journey through these treacherous waters. Having a selkie’s blessing would do them some good, considering the foe they were facing. King Boo would do anything to tear them, considering they were a threat to his rule. And who knew… perhaps the mystical shape-shifter will get closer, allowing themselves to be seen by him.

.

.

.

Nighttime quickly fell upon them. The captain waited until everyone was asleep below decks before proceeding with his plan. Carefully, he quickly put on his boots and grabbed the offering basket; for someone of such size, Bower managed to leave the ship silently. 

The moon hung high in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over the vast expanse of the ocean. Bower's eyes scanned the horizon, searching for any signs of danger or unwanted attention. Sand crunched softly beneath his feet as he headed towards a familiar set of rocks; hopefully, that would be close enough for him to see them, but not too close that he’ll scare the selkie.

Reciting Kamek’s instructions under his breath, Bowser held the gemstone into the moonlight before placing it inside the basket. He walked to the tree line and retrieved some colorful flowers; he meticulously placed them inside the basket then put it into the tranquil waters. The captain gave it a small nudge forward and watched it drift away.

╚══ ≪ °❈° ≫ ══╝

“Where were you today, bro?” asked Mario.

Luigi clutched his bowl of food tightly. He hasn’t come up with an excuse for his absence today; he was too busy gawking watching over the captain. Something simple should work; Mario looked exhausted after swimming all the way to the Jellie Kingdom and spending a full day with the princess. With a forced smile, Luigi replied, "Oh, you know, just helped some of the Jellies with their seagrass fields. The currents were strong today" He hoped his nonchalant tone would divert Mario's suspicions.

Mario sighed. “Ah, that makes sense!” he said. 

“H-how was your date with Peach?” Luigi asked in a desperate attempt to change the topic.

Mario threw another log into the fire. Thankfully, the cove they lived in was big enough that the smoke could exit with ease and the light wouldn’t be too noticeable. The elder twin adjusted his coat around his hips and sat down, “Everything went well. We had lunch and I carried her around to see some of the flower patches outside the lagoon,” he said.

Luigi listened intently; it always lifted his spirits when Mario talked about Peach. The mermaid was such a sweet soul, caring for the kingdom that took her in during a time of need. That and she made his brother very happy. While the relationship seemed odd from the outside, (a relationship between a selkie and a mermaid was unheard of) the two really cared for each other and made it work. Since Mario could also walk on land, he would often carry Peach along with him, allowing the princess to see the world outside the massive lagoon within the island. 

Some day, Luigi hopes to be with some like that.

The first person that came to mind in that department was the pirate captain. The thought surprised him, causing him to choke on a bite of food. Luigi had always been a dreamer, occasionally envisioning himself in extraordinary situations and seeking companionship with unique individuals. He remembered his short-lived crush on the spunky merl Daisy from the Betta tribe. Or that other time, he embarrassed himself in front of a royal court because he couldn’t stop blushing when the seahorse mer Peasly kept chatting with him.

As he sat there, gasping for air (and assuring his brother that he was okay) after his unexpected choking episode, he couldn't help but wonder why the pirate captain had popped into his mind. It’s not like he didn’t meet his taste in partners. The captain seemed to possess an air of confidence and freedom that Luigi found incredibly alluring. Not to mention he was rather aesthetically pleasing in Luigi’s eyes. The way his scales shimmered in the light, those bright red eyes…

Luigi was pulled away from his daydreaming to hear something heavy fall to the ground. He looked to the other side of the fire and saw Mario on the floor, snoring louder than a walrus. The younger brother put his bowl of cold food to the side, then got up. He picked Mario up and carried him to his bed of woven seagrass. Luigi draped a blanket over him before walking to the entrance of the cove.

A bright light in the distance caught his attention; something was shimmering with moonlight. Luigi squinted, trying to get a better view but couldn’t discern what it was. He looked over his shoulder; Mario was out cold, he wouldn’t wake up until morning. Luigi had plenty of time to check out what this mysterious light was. Slipping on his coat, the now transformed seal headed towards it.

Hi #illustration #art #digitalart #artistsoninstagram #bridge #mermaid #selkie #magicalcreatures #urbanfantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/BzWSYBJgUCe/?igshid=1x66f4l8k51ip

Hi, I am an alterhuman, specifically polytherian and otherkin (dragon and maybe selkie). I identify (therian) as a maned wolf, minecoon, sphinx cat and some very big breed of dog, not sure which one, tbh :3 My dragon is on my profile background. I am also active on reddit, where i look up therian and otherkin posts. I do quadrobics, although not very well, I must say... I also love hoarding shiny stuff, smooth rocks and pretty sticks.

I have no den at the moment, but as soon as I get my own room (I live in the same room as my sibling) I will makke my den there.

I love swimming and listening to my favourite songs, and running in the rain, and just love, love, love water. I really enjoy chasing fish or butterflies, I like eating meat and biting things.

I am very fond of one (1) part of my human vessel - my tusks. They are quite bigger than the rest of my teeth and I love having sharp teeth, so sometimes I just stand in front of my mirror and check out my jaw bones :3 sorry if I'm overwhelming or babbling, I just found someone that would listen and I'm just really happy, my tail's wagging, and just... yeah.

I really enjoy the colors black and dark green, I like warm caves, I hate mosquitoes, other bugs and spiders (especially when they run in this very disturbing way, ughhhh), I'm a very big ally of everyone except for 'chosen therians/otherkins', pedophiles and zoophiles. I used to be a furry once, but now I'm not.

Anyways, thank you very much for reading it all!! ^^

Edit: I'm a furry again :3

i'm so silly <33

been obsessed (more like addicted... what the hell) with alterhumanity(?) for a couple years now

made this account to reach out to alterhumans to learn more

yet, how does one reach out to... well... anything??

(/e stop being social awkward)

people who are well educated in these kinds of things, PLEASE PUMMEL ME WITH AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE!

i have learned not to trust google, and will read any paragraphs you send me.

people who are part of the alterhuman community, please, if you are comfortable, tell me as much as you would like about what you identify as/with, how you found out you do, day to day life, weird things that happen, etc, etc.

just tell me anything!

(especially constructive criticism and if i'm being judgemental, closed minded, or offencive!!)

i'm a listener <3

ps: these tags do not apply to me-- i am not an alterhuman, i just wanna reach out :sob:

I found my dragontype!!

I'm really so happy, it looks kinda like the image above, but the wings are bigger amd fluffier, they resemble the owl ones. And I have more fluff on paws and more feathers on the tip of the tail.

It's so prettyyyyy...

*I* am so pretty...

Also, I'm a questioning selkiekin too. If some selkie reads it, can I have some advice on how to do research on that?

Edit!!! Credits for @gomalemo !!!

Look. Jason was a shy lil bean around his olders brothers cool friends, ok

Dick might also have forgotten to mention he was a selkie...

The Selkie and Her Family

All the different versions I was playing around with shading too but he’s a selkie. Selkey? I dont know the things that have a seal skin that they can wear

i love the representation in disenchantment i mean look we got gays

lesbians

objectums 

and furries 

Thinking of Johnny topside but as a selkie and what it would mean for subject delta

Would Subject Delta see his old seal skin and know that it's his, would he just see it and not know?

When they turned Johnny Topside into Subject Delta did they take the seal skin and toss it away, in the trash or in a fire to be turned to ash? Would Johnny Topside know or see them throw his seal skin away? Or would they keep it? Would try try to splice it or turn it into something like seal skin boots, or would they just keep it in a box somewhere

Or did they let him keep it? If you took off Subject Deltas armor would his seal skin be somewhere in there? Melted into him or just against him?

If he found his seal skin and it was intact would he just leave it? Seeing it as nothing of interest? Leaving it to rot along with rapture? Or would he grab it? Would he know what it truly was or would he just find it interesting? Would he try to gift it to Eleanor or Sinclair?

If he does survive getting up to the surface do you think he would crave the ocean? Do you think he would feel guilty about having a want to go to the sea?

If he died and he gave the skin to Eleanor would she know what it truly is? That the seal skin is her father but not, that it's the only part of Johnny Topside that's left, how would it feel that the last gift your father give you is the last part of him that's not really him, Subject Delta and Johnny Topside are two different people but also the same, Subject Delta came from Johnny Topside, Johnny had to die for Delta to live...

If Subject Delta gotten out of the suit would he still be able to turn into a seal? Or would he have forgotten how? Would he want to but not be able to?

Would he stay up and night and feel guilty at feeling at home in the sea? Rapture was hell but it calmed his instincts to go to the sea, it was oddly homily, now he not only has to deal with being on the surface for the first time but also having the want to go back to the place he spent so long trying to leave.

So for this fanfic idea I have is that everything is going good, N.M.E. is dead and king dedede is a good guy now and escargoon is happy and everyone is happy and good, it's a good end to the adventures for now, but then Tiff and Tuff is wakened up by a scurrying, and they see a small demon imp thing take two things that are important to them, so they chase after it and when they try to grab it they pass out and wake up in a new and colorless world, they have to go and find a way out but on the way they face monsters and dangerous lands all alone, they see some monsters thar are kind and some that aren't and same with people, over time they see that the world isn't as colorless but you just have to see it a certain way, they slowly learn that the world is actually the place where myths and folk lore come to die, when people forget and drive them away, there is fairies and selkies and swan maidens and werewolves and dragons, they learn that the food and water is poisonous to normal folk, but they ate and drank and they didn't die, when they meet the swan maidens and selkies they seem to know them and are extra friendly, they help them get some of their pelts and feathers back, most are super grateful for their help but some get sad and a little aggressive since they don't want to be an animal, they want to stay on land, but now they can't since the pull is too much. They also learn that their mother is a swan maiden and their father is a selkie, and then they have to go to the hive which is a place with many imps and the like, after sneaking about they learn that an imp stole their pelts and feathers from their birth and their parents, they at the end have a choice.

So an idea I have for a story or something is maybe king dedede parents were a male selkie and a female penguin, and so when he was born maybe he had his pelt taken away or hidden by his mother or maybe she hid it after he almost got hurt or something, or maybe when he was young he saw a portal thing that took him to planet popstar but he accidentally left his seal skin back with his family, maybe he lost it somewhere on planet popstar, maybe when kirby and the forgotten land happened maybe it was found again by kirby or meta knight or king dedede himself, maybe he could turn into a seal again or maybe it has been so long that he forgot how or maybe it is too small for him to put on, maybe if he can't turn into a seal with it maybe he turns it into a cloak or maybe he gives it to meta knight or kirby without telling them what is was.

I might make a story or short fanfic or something about bioshokc but some of the characters are selkies, like they are already under the water, maybe they lost their pelts during the fall of rapture or their pelts were already lost before the came down. Maybe a big daddy was once a selkie and wonders apon his old seal skin and maybe he knows it holds value and for some reason he finds it important but can't remember why so he gives it to his little sister, maybe sinclair or Stanley or even Jack or Ryan is a selkie, maybe one of the reasons why Ryan wanted rapture to be under the sea was cause he lost his seal skin long ago and wants to live under the ocean.

[ID: A greyscale drawing of Martin Blackwood as a selkie. He is a fat white man with short hair and round glasses. He is sitting on a rock pulling his seal skin coat around himself. He is unclothed from the shoulders up. His hair blows in a strong wind, and his face is scrunched up in dissatisfaction. There are squiggles drawn around him to indicate that he is shivering. Waves splash up around him. There is a second smaller drawing in the top corner of a very sleepy looking seal wearing glasses. An arrow pointing from Martin from the seal indicates that this is him in his seal form. End ID.]

Selkie Fanart

Some beautiful procrastinated Selkie fanart for ya ✨ Selkie is just so underrated tho 😔 his quirk is pretty good too! I mean, your quirk is seal? like you have the traits and features as a seal? cool 🤩 Anywho...

Btw,fun fact : my first SDJ-related art was an edit for the selkie au that I’ve never had a chance to finish

Selkie AU | RadioHusk

Did fans come up with human names for the Hazbin cast?

I'm making this a full fledged AU, at the moment I have already came up with Alastor and Husk for the AU. Don't worry the others will make their appearances, in the mean time, here's what I've got so far.

Husk:

Is the selkie in this AU

It has been known for male Selkies to be seductive but for Husk, he doesn't really care much for that.

Silent most of the time, due to the language barrier between him and Alastor

Husk isn't around from the region

He was force to retreat land due to massive injuries

Is aggressive and apprehensive towards Alastor at first though he softens up (a tiny bit)

Currently devoted to Alastor

Alastor:

Radio host at a local station but is a renowned hunter around the region.

Hunts for a hobby now

First met Husk when he was expanding his hunting techniques to seals and found the mythical creature while Husk was healing

Currently is trying to learn more of the selkie creature he has in his possession now

Although due to limited resources on selkies, he can't find much. Though he has learned about Selkies suppose devotion to humans.

Currently likes to play around with the concept since Husk is now attached to him

Teaching Husk proper etiquette at the moment

RadioHusk fanart for the AU will come probably on paper though, who knows, depends on my mood.

Selkie Idea © @eclipsewarrior101

Hazbin Selkie AU © me

don't know if you are still doing requests but can i request a selkie husk au

An AU dealing with mythological creatures?

HELL YES

I kinda had half thought process and half winging it...

A Selkie from what I've read are creatures that are seals when out in the sea, and humans when on land. The way they transform is actually by shedding their "skin".

Now this is where my winging part came in, Husk was actually wounded and was force to retreat to land and wait for his injuries to heal. Now I had to research as much as my resources allowed me, and if a human were able to take the Selkie's skin then they are basically forced to marriage to that human. Let's just say Alastor, while his initial plan was to expand his hunting amongst seals, he doesn't mind catching himself a mythical creature as well.

Husk now bounded to Alastor (while reluctant and aggressive at first) has to be a devoted "husband", to which Alastor loves to play around the concept.

Ack, I need to draw this more often... BECAUSE THIS IS RADIOHUSK MATERIAL FOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS 💖💖💖

I hope you liked it nonetheless ^^
