@selkiecoreaesthetic
Intro: 𓆟
My name is Naraida, and I am a Selkie (human on land, spotted Seal in water).
On my page you'll find photography, art, and selkiecore related things
NOTE: if you want to follow my personal selkie life story where I’ll be sharing my experiences, questions, and thoughts as a selkie, follow my alt blog: @selkie-life
- Love is the Answer ♡
How to make your space selkiecore: add seashells 🐚
Hung this antique abalone shell on a wall over my sink to hold some of my beauty products
And this other antique abalone shell was hung near my office space and holds my two pens 🖊️
Omg changing things in my room to make it more selkiecore is legit one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in a long time!
I’ll share pictures asap! But for now it’s time for this selkie to sleep 🦭
As promised, PICTURES of my selkiecore room makeover! 🦭✨
Made this wind chime thing out of capiz shells hanging tied to recycled fishing line and a stick with barnacles I found on the beach
Here’s a tropical paradise I drew with charcoal and chalk
Decorated my lamp with seashell bead necklaces
Also here’s some sea plushies on my midi keyboard
My favorite thing about this room update is the seashells I have hanging on the wall. Like wherever there’s a thumb tack from old art, I have replaced the image with a seashell to hang!
These are above my closet
Here’s the largha seal painting and ocean painting I did for a class during my college years
Made a seashell mirror
Bought a new light switch cover
This is a candle holder that I keep in my window that a friend gave to me
This is on top of my AC unit + a sticky note to cover the light for when I sleep
Next time I’ll have to show yall my 4 fish tanks!
★ UPDATE: MAKING A NEW BLOG ★
I want to separate my selkiecore posts from my personal thoughts, questions, and experiences as a selkie so I’ve started a new blog exclusively for that called: @selkie-life where y’all can follow my more personal journey ✨
Did something happen to your seal skin?
I theorize its cause I'm a changeling baby, so the fae took it when they swapped me so I would blend in with humans.
But as they say, you can take the coat from the selkie but not the selkie from... the selkie.
This is the most relatable thing I’ve read in a while 👆🏻
Forgotten TV Shows and Movies of the Past Suitable for Therians and Otherkin
Part 2: Lightning Point - aka Alien Surf Girls 👽🛸
I want to believe there’s more shows out there like this Aussie one season hidden gem from the 2000s.
This show really hangs 10 when it comes to teen drama, sprinkled with alien mystery, and of course surfing 🏄
This show was produced by Jonathan M. Shiff - same guy who produced H2O Just Add Water, Mako Mermaids, and Ocean Girl, so if your a fan of these shows like me, this show is meant for you!
Why this Show Appeals to Therians and Otherkin?
As a selkie, the beach theme and surfing is why appealed to me most. So my fellow sea/beach creatures both therian and otherkin may enjoy this for the sand and waves!
For otherkin specifically, anyone who falls under the alienkin umbrella I imagine would probably dig this show for its otherworldly themes ✨
As someone who grew up around UFOs and has a fascination for them plus a longing to explore the universe, I love shows that feature aliens like Lightning Point (even though I’m not alienkin myself), so I hope some otherworldly creatures may enjoy this show from that angle ♡
Questions: Did anyone else in the therian & otherkin community play Animal Jam growing up/still plays AJ classic? And did this game (or similar online rpgs) help in their discovery of your theriotype/othertype? 👀
I occasionally log in and play (actually bought myself a membership last year but didn’t end up playing the full time tho cuz of irl stuff) so I could play as a seal again and get the nostalgia + species dysphoria ease
It’s kinda weird being a pioneer in the Selkiecore, cuz I genuinely hoped it would be bigger by now but if anything it’s dwindling and relatively unpopular in the realm of internet x livelihood aesthetics 🦭
Since I am a selkie, I think it’s important to keep the aesthetic going, so I’m incorporating it more into my life - everything from fashion to daily living
Recently made a wire wrapped moonstone necklace with vintage leather and a seashell and it’s giving off major Selkiecore energy that I totally love!
It literally looks like it’s from the sea (and some of it is!)
Omg changing things in my room to make it more selkiecore is legit one of the most satisfying things I’ve done in a long time!
I’ll share pictures asap! But for now it’s time for this selkie to sleep 🦭
What would you do in my situation?
So when I was a kid I bought 4 fox tails in various colors because I thought they were beautiful and wanted some fox/wolf gear because I was a questioning therian (this was before I knew I was a selkie)
Turns out fox and wolf were actual spirit animals/animal guardians trying to teach me some things, and now that I learned what I’ve needed, I don’t really need to keep these talisman items anymore + plus I have plenty of other talisman type objects that I feel a stronger connection to when wolf and fox spirit returns to guide me on my life journey.
I also don’t like owning these tails because they remind me of negative things that happened in the past, the fact that they probably came from unethical fur farms (didn’t know about stuff like that when I was a kid tbf), and like I said I don’t need these tails because I’m not a fox/wolf therian.
So I’m trying to decide what to do with these 4 tails, if I should give them away (donate to thrift store) or try to sell them on FB marketplace?
I just don’t need them nor do I want to deal with them all that much. 🫠
Any thoughts and advice are appreciated!
Did you know Selkiecore isn’t just things related to the sea?
We’re of the fae too, so we get to do fun things on land form like:
Blow cherry blossom petals like confetti 🌸🎉
Finding the remnants of a fairy grenade 🧚🏻💣
And imagining the bloom of a wild orchid for a hat 👒
A selkie’s skin has many uses
Such as holding ice packs to sleep on while in your human form to prevent you from overheating at night ❄️
I’ve had a problem with overheating since I was born, and it’s gotten worse as I’ve aged (hormonal hot flashes suck, and the truth is no one is too young to get them!) even when it’s like 40 degrees out or even cooler, you’ll catch me in shorts and a tshirt and flipflops all year long (it can’t get very cold in the PNW but the colder the better for me).
As a largha seal, I’m supposed to live in more arctic temperatures most of the time, so sleeping on ice is super helpful for my species dysphoria, and also keeps me from overheating - win win!✨
Anybody else out there sleep with ice packs? 👀
🌊 Selkie Sea Topical Mist (Concentrated recipe) - Suitable for Wound Healing, Skincare, and Hair Styling 🌊
(high-strength seawater concentrate for those who crave the raw kiss of the ocean)
Some days the longing for salt and depth is so strong it aches. This potion answers that call - strong, unapologetic, like plunging into icy northern waves after too long on dry land.
My recipe is simple but fierce:
White sea salt: harvested purity, gritty like broken shells on the shore
Magnesium oil: the abyss's gift, pulling tension from muscles and inflammation from skin
Non-chlorinated tap water (or better yet, collected rainwater under a waxing moon for extra selkie magic)
I make it highly concentrated on purpose. When it meets open wounds, it burns - a clean, bright, “good” burn. Like the sea scouring away what doesn't belong. That sting? It quiets the maddening itch of healing skin, draws out infection, and reminds your body it's still alive, still tied to the tide. Some selkies love leaning into that bite - it's part of the ritual, the transformation back into something wilder. Others prefer to dilute it with a bit more water for gentler use. Listen to your own skin; the ocean adapts.
How to make it:
NOTE: There are no exact measurements for this recipe. I’ve always made this intuitively.
1. Bring one cup of water to a simmer and remove from heat
2. Add sea salt and mix it until all the granules dissolve and keep adding salt until it tastes so salty it’s like eating a spoonful of salt
3. Add a tablespoon of magnesium oil and mix well
4. Let the solution cool down before adding it to a glass bottle
NOTE: The water should look a bit murky - that’s normal for this concentrated formula, so don’t panic lol
Ways to Use This Brine
✦ Topical wound healer: Mist or dab straight on cuts, scrapes, bites, or itchy healing spots. The burn fades fast, leaving cool relief and faster mending. Magnesium soothes the fire while salt cleanses. Feels like the North Sea licking your wounds clean.
✦ Daily skincare mist: After moisturizer, a light spritz for that dewy, just-emerged-from-the-waves glow and dries to a glowy matte tone (awesome for oily skin). Dilute if your skin protests the intensity.
✦ Beach wave hair magic: Spritz on damp strands, scrunch, let air dry. Gives salty, tousled texture like you'd just hauled your pelt off the rocks. The magnesium tames frizz from phantom sea winds.
Bottle in cobalt glass or recycled sea glass if you can find it. Add a small shell, a moon-charged pebble, or a whisper of dried seaweed for extra lore. Shake before each use and murmur thanks to the seals who taught us to slip between worlds.
This isn't mild saltwater.
It's concentrated essence of home - sharp enough to sting, deep enough to heal, wild enough to make you remember what you are beneath the skin.
If the burn sings to you, embrace it. If it asks for mercy, dilute and drift easier. Either way, it pulls you closer to the current. 🦭💙
It is once again selkie Saturday
As a selkie I’ve found a reason to celebrate or should I say “sealabrate” every Saturday!
Forgotten TV Shows and Movies of the Past Suitable for Therians and Otherkin
Part 1: Ocean Girl
As a big fan of the Mako Mermaids and H2O series, along with Stargate and X-Files, I HAVE to recommend the Aussie TV series called Ocean Girl 🌊🐋
It’s a great PG kid friendly 90s show that is full of nostalgia, futurism, suspense, teen spirit, drama, suspense, sci-fi, and ocean vibes ♡
Was really drawn to the show because of my Selkie identity, and I just love movies and TV shows that’s got the ocean in it
Ocean Girl sadly isn’t on any streaming platforms as of today, but thankfully my AI agent found the series for free on one of my favorite digital libraries
To watch Ocean Girl for free, all seasons are available on the Internet Archive:

Since my post about TV shows and movies got kinda popular on Tumblr for the Therian and Otherkin community who are and or kin Selkies, I decided to start a post series about more recommended TV shows and movies that are semi-aquatic (water themed) that will revolve around the topic of life at or under the sea.
I’ve found quite a few movies and TV shows that I will be posting soon, so stay tuned and consider following the tag #Forgotten TV Shows and Movies of the Past Suitable for Therians and Otherkin 🌊✨
I'm also very impressed by Jules Verne's knowledge of marine fauna and stuff!! He probably had to research that a lot just for tine details in a book, I doubt he knew all that off the back of his head. Oh also apparently the existance and habits of giant squids were genuinely as much a subject of debate 200 years ago as they are now?? Thats neat.
BTW I THINK THE SEALBR SIBE OF TUMBLR WOULD ENJOY HIS DESCRIPTION OF SEALS:
"they swim admirably. In resting on the earth they take the most graceful attitudes. Thus the ancients, observing their soft and expressive looks, which cannot be surpassed by the most beautiful look a woman can give, their clear voluptuous eyes, their charming positions, and the poetry of their manners, metamorphosed them, the male into a triton and the female into a mermaid. I made Conseil notice the considerable development of the lobes of the brain in these interesting cetaceans. No mammal, except man, has such a quantity of brain matter; they are also capable of receiving a certain amount of education, are easily domesticated, and I think, with other naturalists, that if properly taught they would be of great service as fishing-dogs"
I’ve sadly never read any of Jules Verne’s works (have watched most of the movies inspired by his books tho). Anyways reading 20k leagues under the sea is on my bucket list and the way he describes seals really reminds me of Selkies 🦭✨
Also yes, we would make great fishing companions 🎣😆
Me when bath 👇🏻
Sometimes, as a selkie, the sea calls your name so you have to draw a bath with epsom salts because that’s the closest you can get for the night 🦭🛁
I’m just glad this is a nice tub 😆
