And by the way just to add some like...angst to my sea beast s/i I guess 😂 I was thinking about the research I did into old selkie folk tales and how they typically tend to go and how it applies to my s/i with Batterbie stealing her coat.

1. She did it when she was still just a child and had lost her whole family, so she probably holds that over her head by saying she's lucky to have had a place to stay and food to eat at ALL and 2. That she could have it...a LOT worse 😬

#jane journals #self insert talk #🌊 how deep is your love? 🌊#idk ive done a lot of research into selkie mythology and their folklore #among their traits is apparently being particularly alluring! must be that seal charm 😂#but because of that their coats tend to be stolen by hopeful suitors to prevent them from returning to the sea #essentially FORCING them into a marriage they...probably dont want #and the whole time they have an INTENSE yearning for the sea #so batterbie forces my s/i into indentured servitude and shes bored out of her MIND #could be worse right 😂#idk if thatd like...have an effect on her tho. at the risk of getting a bit too dark i have experience with these types of mother figures :/#theres a really mixed feeling that comes with it #i wonder if my s/i would have any kind of fear of other people or at least of intimacy in any real way #i mean she lives on a 'bad people' island so shes definitely not some shy demure figure #shes like...rapunzel but a little more jaded 😂 which is why it means SO MUCH to her when jacob gets her coat back for her #and DOESNT use it as a way to make her indebted to him somehow #he does it to make HER happy #and in turn she tries to GIVE it to him as a show of trust now that she has the freedom to do so 🥺🥺🥺#idkkkk im rambling now #just on me mind tho
