It’s Mermay!!

Because of that, I’ve drawn a collection of water based creatures from the folklore of Northern Europe

I made these quicker than I usually do and I’m very proud of them

Here’s where each one comes from:

Selkie - British Isles, the Faroes, and Iceland

Kelpie - Scotland

Nøkk - Norway (there other versions from different countries with similar names)

Finfolk - Orkney, Scotland

Nuckelavee - also Orkney

Hi!

I was wondering about your selkie lore? Mainly courtship stuff because I'm doing a little something and I'm collecting info from wherever it exists

Also you have no idea of how many times I've read your stuff, it makes me extremely happy and I have way too many tabs bookmarked to find them easily. You're amazing ( ◕◡◕)っ ♡

My personal selkie lore/headcanons? Sure! (for more information on 'traditional' selkie lore, I'd recommend checking out this page that I found when I went to Orkney. It also covers the Finfolk, who I want to write a story about as well...

Anyway, Ghosti's Personal Headcanons:

Courtship with humans is not encouraged by selkie communities on the whole. Traditionally, it doesn't tend to end well for the selkie.

If they do decide to go ahead with it, they'll be shy to start with; watching their chosen human from the water as they go about their life on land. Then, maybe, they'll shift and try and interact with them on land a little to get to know them. Selkies value community and connection, so it's important that if they're courting someone (as opposed to just sleeping with them as a one-off, which happens a lot more than humans realise, probably!), they need to get to know who they are. They also need to learn if their chosen human is the kind of human to keep their sealskin from them and stop them returning to the sea...

If they go ahead with it, they bring their human gifts from the sea. Whether that's helping fishermen with their catches or bringing beautiful and rare pearls for decoration, or treasures lost in shipwrecks.

Selkies are tactile lovers, so expect lots of touches and hugs and contact, even in the early stages. It's how they let people know they're interested, after all.

I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now. Thanks for reaching out, and I'm glad you enjoy my work.

Don't forget that I'm going to be slowly migrating all my stuff over to Patreon soon, including free-to-read Tumblr stories, so if you want to keep reading (and re-read!) my stories that have been posted on here, make sure you're a free member on Patreon so you can have access to the Tumblr Archives when they go up. I will be deleting old stories from here in light of my lack of trust of Tumblr to handle people's creative content...

"Glowlight Parade" Here's another new pair of mermaids for my fellow lovers of most things aquatic, with a helpful parade of off-brand African Sea Nettles. <3

Prompt 9 is Finfolk! I went with the idea that means merfolk n took inspiration from oarfish!

I just love me some horrifying, deep sea, massive creature vs scuba diver pictures🥰

Oh, hey, I haven’t posted these here yet! I went to my Very First Mer-Meetup down in Kansas last Saturday, made a bunch of new friends, and got to take my Hibiscus Bliss tail for a spin for the first time! (That’s the tequila sunrise lookin’ one in these pics. I bought it for my birthday back when it was Finfolk’s February tail of the month. 🍹☀️💝)

It was a little bit chaotic, but I was heavily involved in organizing the whole thing, so I got my own self to blame 😂 I guess I now have one point in the Event Planning skill tree?

Trollex X human OC Finfolk AU

Chapter 8

It’s on wattpad too under the username fromashtree

A human teenager has been warned by her grandmother for years to stay away from the ocean or one of the finmen will snatch her and make her their wife. The whole small coastal town believes the ridiculous folklore and has believed it for centuries. Finfolk lore isn’t even from their country.
