Dear Aoife,

I was wondering if you could solve a riddle for me, no I'm not a fae don't worry.

Do you think Selkies would have black teeth (as in healthy black teeth like loads of seals and sea lions do) when they are in their human form ? I am in need of a second opinion from another ocean born Selkie expert as I'm rather unsure about this part of my Selkies (seal lords) human appearance.

Diolch and may the tides be kind to you <3

Hi! And I don't know about "selkie expert," as I've only become obsessed with selkies recently, and I'm just developing a story where I come up with my own lore/logic! As for your question, I'd say picture them/make them appear however you want! I definitely think making some selkies have different-coloured teeth would be interesting, it'd add some variation in character design and make them more "ethereal" from the outset! I might think of adding a character like that, myself! 😉 It could just depend on what specific species of pinnipeds your selkie characters are based upon!

If other people think it looks "weird," that's just on them being too preoccupied on conventional beauty and ignoring that selkies are fictitious beings!

Thank you for the ask, you've given me some inspiration! And same to you! <3

[theancientvaleofsoulmaking]

Thank you so much for the speedy reply!!! I've been in love with the Selkie tales ever since my dad introduced me to them as a young lad, but only a while ago I got really into including them into stories.

My Seal Lord/Selkie is a mix of a Kekeno (an Aotearoa fur seal) and a harbour seal, born during a great migration period of different tribes in ancient times. I checked harbour seals do tend to have have black teeth but not all kekenos do,so thank you for your input there, actually helped me decide on this matter as their teeth are heavy influence by feeding habit :D

I can't wait to see your character inspired by this!!!

Putting my Selkies under the read more

His name is Aneesh, his seal sister hasn't got a name yet

[noa-nightingale]

One of my characters is named Maris and I keep mistyping it as Mais (=corn in German).

Yes, hello, my name is Noa and this is my protagonist, Corn.

[theancientvaleofsoulmaking]

One of my characters is called Aneesh or as my mum calls him Anise

Ah yes hello so this is my Seal Lord/Selkie Anise, he's highly fragrant, used in cooking, perfumery, soaps, toothpastes, mouthwashes, and skin creams :)

Proof that your friend being fond of something can also make you feel fond of something -

I have never watched an episode of The Pitt in my life and likely won't (I am sorry) but now every time I see Dr. Robby somewhere on tumblr it is like - !!! him !!!

Also, he just has such a nice face? Like, you look at someone and there is a certain warmth there and it makes you feel good? Mind you, I know absolutely nothing about Noah Wyle either. (Which says more about me than about him because I am just out of the loop permanently, forever, with everything.)

But that smile? Those dark eyes? The wrinkles? The smile lines? The beard that is starting to grey? That nose? It's just a very nice face and I like looking at it.

[theancientvaleofsoulmaking]

Hehe

Just in case you were wondering how the artworks you got to colour in, look like coloured in here & here in my pitt tag are more of my Rabbot art too but I'll draw you some more Robby in the future to colour in.

[beautyinsteadofashes]

Favourite Aotearoa & Kiwi things which bring you joy and some which everyone should know about?

This is so sweet and making me miss home! He's a big brain dump of my favorite things

Favourite things:

Birbs: Fantails are cute lil guys with angry eyebrows but a lot of significance in te ao Maori culture which sometimes feels ironic given their tiny stature, tui are majesty and beautiful and shimmery, kereru are silly big fat fluffy drunk pigeons that eat too many berries and can't fly straight.

One horse towns/Ghost towns: I've seen Americans describe them as desolate and creepy but in the NZ I LOVE a tiny one street where there's like one pub and one cafe and a guy with five different jobs. Especially when they're beach towns off the beaten track or places where Maori culture is thriving or multiculturalism is healthy and accepted. There's some spots in rural NZ that are less accepting of POC so anywhere where communities are coming together in love is refreshing. Empty towns are so beautiful and rusty and fascinating even though there's a sad history of rural-urban drift or colonialism to them.

Nature: I love how quiet and rugged our beaches are. The same for all of our nature honestly. You can feel like you're in some teen summer movie finding a hidden gem of a swimming hole or a waterfall and there's no one else around. I miss pohutakawa, guys, you don't understand. Our cities are very green not just in parks or planted trees but actual bush.

People: Yes we can be awkward and tall poppy syndrome but I miss our chill community feel where we have loved, ingenuity, grit etc. It's so hard to explain what our culture and vibe is until you're sitting outside of it.

Things to know about?

ANZAC Day, Waitangi Day, and He Whakaputanga

Lolly cake

White bait fritters

Hangi

Fry bread

The Bird of the Year competition

Jaffas

Pineapple Lumps

Spicy Tomato Munchos.

In general New Zealand has really good pies, good potato chips and really good chocolate biscuits.

We've run out of this one specific chocolate milk and Marmite and it's made the news

The newspaper quizzes in office culture

You can now learn Te Reo on Drops and that's really cool.

Waiata, kapa haka, poi, tī rākau or titi, pūrerehua and many other amazing things that should be celebrated

I think we pull our bills out of a biscuit tin for Parliament which is so whimsical

Our nation is so small it's like a village. You'll be a few degrees separation from famous people pretty easily and for that same reason and I don't think we really care that much. We just let celebrities live their lives like it's no big deal. I had American housemates that met Taika twice in like a week of arriving and they were much more bold about going up and talking to him.

Pavlova and Crowded House/Split Ends controversy.

The Spinoff is a fun time.

Listen to music in Te Reo Maori. There's a lot of great artists out there.

Witness a haka or powhiri or kapa haka competition at least once in your life.

We're not behind the US or the UK in terms of development or progress. We've just taken a different path.

Google something called the Christchurch Call. Some real important work happening there.

The ghost chips ad

The mitre 10 ad

Our drunk driving PSA ads are actually terrifying

Clark Gayford was our equivalent of an MTV Music show presenter. Idk how to explain it. It's like if that guy from BBC Radio 4 married AOC.

This country isn't just traditional Maori culture and Lord of the Rings.

When someone dies or something tragic happens in a public place or hiking trail a closure is put in place for spiritual reasons and that's a good example of government working with local iwi and hapu. I don't know enough about it to explain it myself.

The ripping up of the treaty bill will probably be future history

We have a Maori Queen

It's politically significant atm whether you call our country New Zealand or Aotearoa/Aotearoa New Zealand. You'll see people purposely using one or the other.

I'm Pakeha if you have more specific questions there are Maori Kiwis on Tumblr that I'm sure would be happy to chat.

@crabussy as our resident expert have I missed anything?

[theancientvaleofsoulmaking]

First of all thank you so much for the beautiful answer <3

I'm in the beginning stages of learning Te Reo Māori atm (current favourite band sings in Te Reo Māori) and tried to make allergy friendly ANZAC biccis once I've heard about them and a kiwi friend helped alter the recipe :D also soaking up history like a sponge atm!

I haven't seen the drunk driving ads but I've seen the slip and fall public health one's (keep thinking it's with Jeremy Wells but I don't think it is?) , those almost became part of my degree presentation (an Ozzy ad about be safe around trains made it tho)

The ghost/one horse towns got to be my favourite thing alongside kiwis and the about 50 new birds and fish I've never heard of before!

[fullofvexation]

after the latest Chalamet discourse, I'm curious:

Have you ever been to a live opera, ballet, or play?

I've been to an opera

I've been to a ballet

I've been to a play

I've been to an opera and a ballet but not a play

I've been to an opera and a play but not a ballet

I've been to a ballet and a play but not an opera

I've been to all three of these

I've been to none of these

Nuance (tell me more!?)

Voting ended onMar 14

For the purpose of this poll, musicals are classified as a play! Only count if you actually saw the show live, not a video of it.

[thealmightyemprex]

Been to many plays and have been in many but I am sad to say have never seen a ballet or an opera

[theancientvaleofsoulmaking]

Been to all three multiple times, watch opera events annually (in the cinema/live stream as tickets are impossible to get hold off), my godparents were theatre & opera organisers and did ballet & theatrical dance as a kid (albeit involuntarily) and I'm am passionate about theatre houses and their conservation. I'm more metal head than musical fan myself but a lot of symphonic metal I love is just opera repacked. (Attila from Powerwolf is a trained opera singer)

[thealmightyemprex]

A thing I've noticed about myself and my friend group is I think I am the most enthusiastic about action movie

Swashbucklers,adventure movies,westerns,superheroes,and classic 80's and 90's action mayhem are things I am passionate about

I like a good fight scene ,I cant help it .I love me some James Bond .I love Indiana Jones.I love cliches ! I love two fisted action ! I love sword fights .I love bad guys falling fromn great heights or that moment of realization before they go boooooooooooooooooom.I really love stunts and fight choreography

My favourite movie of all time is Master and Commander followed closely by Highlander.

I like my action to have history, bits of fantasy or thriller with it. RRR & Hornblower are other examples. I like my sword fights and my ship battles preferably at sea but also in grand space operas like Battlestar Galactica. Two great armies charging at each other I'm all in (pre WW1 movies tho, but again seen world war movies). Now I've seen all of the fast & furious installments, grand deal of the mcu, most of the Rocks and Gerald Butler action movies lots of 90s & 00s Bollywood action/superhero movies but also Top Gear (original run) and stuff like Abraham Lincoln Vampireslayer. I'm just not very vocal about them cause that's just a part of my interests I'm keeping more to outside of social media. I used to watch those movies after sword fight practice with my best mates. Besides I didn't want to get bullied again for having watched Fast and Furious xD

[theancientvaleofsoulmaking]

A song you’d put on a playlist for the person who sent you this ask

submitted by @themousefromfantasyland

I'm just giving you a whole playlist, which fits your fairytale vibe, some of it is very arthurian

Hozier: Whole Lotta Love (the dermond o'leary Saturday session)

Florence and the machine : Pure Feeling

Lindsay Stirling : I saw three ships

D'artagnan : Drei Brüder (it's a sung fairytale about three brothers who are playing a card game, it's revealed during the game they are the personifications of luck, pain and death, with death winning and taking both of his brothers away. It's a very confusing fairytale (maybe it makes more sense to native speakers but the song is very good! )

In Extremo: Pikse Palve

A Blackmores night : the circle

Wardruna: Lyfjaberg/Healing mountain

Santiano : wer can segeln ohne wind/who can sail without the wind (tale of a stranded crew at the end of hope, the music video is stunning I don't know if you know the story ink heart but the band is covered in words like the characters which were read into the world by the reader with a stutter)

Loreena McKennitt: lady of schalot

Colm R. McGuinness : I wanna be in the Cavalry +(reprise)

Aw mate, hate them bots getting you too :/

It's just sodding ridiculous and also somewhat sad cause some people might actually fall for the commission/promises of being featured in an exhibition spam... Now with these bots going round it makes it so much more difficult to reach out to people for art trades/ask for permission to make art for them bc you like a hc/post (for free) cause they think you are a bot argh!
