Random idea for a roleplay where someone finds and takes a selkie's pelt, hoping for a beautiful wife; instead, they find that the pelt actually belongs to a male selkie, which they didn't realize even existed. Now, they're stuck with their selkie husband instead, and the selkie is not very happy about the arrangement.

This could really go into a lot of eras, and take place in the real world or a fantasy world. It's not necessarily a romance rp, either, since the characters may very well not fall in love; the human character may be a straight male, or even a lesbian, and the selkie is certainly resentful of being roped into this in the first place, so maybe they just end up hating each other, or becoming platonic friends (that are accidentally married). That said, it could end up being a romance, but mostly it's meant to be a little comedic. It was really just a random idea I had of "what if someone takes a selkie pelt wanting a wife but gets unlucky and the selkie is actually male."

Because it's such a versatile concept, I haven't really developed a lot of details for it, so if you're interested we can work on that together. Also, thanks to Disenchantment, I also now have "land selkie" in my head, so the selkie doesn't necessarily have to be a seal, he could really be any sort of animal. The important bit is the pelt-stealing lore that means they're married now.
