This is the little guy tying soulmates together. The guy who used to do it retired and it's his first day on the job, he's a little confused so if things get a little rocky for a while please keep in mind that this little guy is doing his best.
Eddie, leaving a zoom interview with the band when Ozzy comes down to the studio and coming back a few minutes later: Sorry about that, my husband fell asleep in the shower.
my trials as possibly the one singular person who cares about the larger worldbuilding lore of the riordanverse is figuring out what the difference between harpies, sirens, and bird nymphs (from Artemis' retinue) are. what are the distinctions between these bird women.
We must uncover this forbidden mystery that humans have been hiding away from us: Doors.
But not just any doors.
"Locked" doors.
Personally, I'd argue that it's bullshit. Surely wizardly. Undoubtedly invented to prevent the simple, noble task of walking through a door and spying on people before they notice you.
But this bullhonkey concept of doors you cannot open must be protested.
I mean, seriously? What, just because I'm fortunate enough to have hands doesn't mean my fellow four-legged friendos do.
Some of us might even be unlucky enough to get hit by the door due to being a victim of constant slapstick! Imagine how hard they'd be hit if you had to BURST THE DOOR OPEN!
Not only that, but may I propose: this defeats the entire purpose of a door. They are meant to be walked through. Not be a wall. We have ENOUGH walls! We don't need ANOTHER ONE!
Dare I say, humans are selfish for not thinking of the less fortunate creatures who don't have their magical ability of commanding the door to be a wall or a door. What do you expect me to do, scratch the door and whine until it's opened? I mean, I will if I must, but for a species as developed as mine that can age past whimpering and scratching, this is TRULY humiliating!
A selkie whose pelt was stolen, stranding her in human form, meets a versipelles whose human clothes were stolen, stranding him in wolf form. They decide to form an alliance to get their shit back.
