🪶 — A Werewolf’s Guide to Terminology

Below is a developing glossary which will be used by a new, yet familiar, branch of the nonhuman community known as the were community. Its purpose is to provide new ways of describing one’s experiences and identities for those who wish to distance or no longer associate themselves with the current alterhuman, otherkin and therian communities, respectively.

• Animality - the experience or state of being an animal.

• Awereness - when one comes to understand their nonhumanity; they become “awere”.

• Calling - feeling drawn to something as part of ones nonhumanity; a “call” is the thing one is drawn to : “I feel the call of x” or “I’m having a strong calling”.

• Daemon - a thoughtform representation of someone’s subconscious, inner thoughts, or soul which is given a name, animal form, gender and, in most cases, sentience.

• Flicker - one who experiences a nebulous or temporary identity which is often brought on by the consumption of some source material; the thing one identifies as : “my x-flicker” or “I’m flickering”.

• Link - a nonhuman identity that is voluntarily chosen or created; the thing one voluntarily identifies as or with : “my x-link” or “I link to/as/with x”.

• Hearted - the strong connection one feels to something nonhuman which may include an affinity for, relation to, resonance or familiarity with; the thing one feels a connection with : “I am x-hearted”.

• Nonhuman - someone who identifies as something other than human.

• Shifting - when one feels more like their nonhuman identity at any given moment; refer to part two of this glossary.

• Astral shift - a shift where one takes on the form of a nonhuman creature within the astral plane.

• Aura shift - a shift where one’s aura changes to reflect their nonhumanity.

• Berserker shift - a shift where one's animality takes over, characterized by loss of control or an altered state of consciousness.

• Bilocation shift - a shift where one’s spirit leaves their body and takes on the form of a nonhuman creature.

• Cameo shift - a shift of any kind that is not representative of one’s established nonhuman identity.

• Dream shift - a shift experienced in an unconscious state or dream, where one takes on the form and/or mentality of a nonhuman creature.

• Mental shift - a shift where one experiences what they believe to resemble the mentality and cognitive processes of a specific nonhuman creature.

• Phantom shift - a shift where one experiences non-corporeal body parts associated with a nonhuman creature.

• Sensory shift - a shift where one experiences heightened or altered senses that they feel resembles that of a nonhuman creature.

• Transformation - a physical shift which is acknowledged by the individual experiencing it to be a hallucination.

• Species Dysphoria - a type of bodily dysphoria (i.e. anxiety, distress, dissatisfaction) arising from the perception that one’s body is of the wrong species.

• Were - one who identifies as nonhuman; “I am a were-x” or simply “I’m a were”.

• The Were Community - the overall population of those who identify themselves as were’s.

Puppy & Kitty (pt. 1)

CWs: pet whump, literal animal people, physical abuse, multiple whumpees, female whumpee(s), male whumper

Word Count: 1036

Abducted at a young age, Puppy couldn’t remember a time when she wasn’t Puppy.

Animal hybrids like her were a hot commodity among the world’s rich and famous. They had the intelligence and lifespan of a human, along with the desirable traits of whichever animal they were mixed with.

Puppy was a dog, if you couldn’t already guess. Floppy golden ears atop her similarly blonde hair, her entire lower body covered in fluffy golden fur, a long tail jutting out from her lower back.

Dogs couldn’t read, write, or speak, so neither could Puppy. She barked, whined, and growled, like a dog should. Though Master would get mad if she was too loud, so she tried to keep that to a minimum.

Puppy had a name, it was engraved into the gold tag dangling from her collar, and it was usually what Master’s friends called her, but Master himself just called her “Puppy” most of the time, so Puppy she was.

At night, or simply whenever Master didn’t want her around the house, Puppy lived in the basement. It was cold down there, and Puppy’s fur didn’t cover her whole body, but she had her doggy bed to protect her from the freezing cement floor, so she made do.

One day, Master seemed unusually excited. Puppy stayed out of his way, curling up in a corner as small as she could get. If Master was excited, he probably didn’t want his stupid mutt getting in the way. Puppy’s stomach was still bruised from two days ago, and she didn’t want to risk throwing up on Master’s carpet and making him even angrier.

Around lunchtime, the doorbell rang. This seemed to be what Master had been anticipating, as he practically ran to answer it.

On the other side of the door stood a man holding a large pet crate. Puppy continued to stay low and out of Master's way, but she couldn't help being a little curious.

"Here you are, sir." The delivery man said, hefting the crate onto the ground, where it noticeably shook and hissed. "This one's a fresh catch, so it's not been trained properly. Hope you like the challenge."

Master seemed positively giddy. "I love a challenge."

Master signed a few papers, and then the delivery man left, leaving only Master, Puppy, and the crate.

"Now, now." He said. "Let's get a better look at you."

He opened the crate, and immediately a figure darted out, taking up an aggressive stance and hissing at him.

Puppy's nose twitched. Master's new pet was a cat hybrid, she could tell that almost immediately. She had the same physical makeup as Puppy, but was quite a bit smaller, and with feline features instead of Puppy's canine ones.

Master almost completely ignored the show of aggression, instead picking up and leisurely leafing through the file that was handed to him alongside the crate.

"Let's see - cat hybrid, female, age 18, impaired vision, fresh capture, and your name is…" He closed the file. "Interesting, interesting."

The cat hissed again, then opened her mouth and spoke.

"You're a sick bastard." She spat.

"Ah-ah-ah." Master tutted. He stepped closer to the cat, and then kicked her square in the ribs. "Pets don't talk." He scolded as she sputtered and gasped.

He knelt down to her level, roughly grabbing her hair and forcing her to look at him. "Whoever you were before means fuck all to me. You're Kitty now, and I expect you to act like it. Understand me?"

Kitty looked up at him for a moment before giving a single, fearful nod.

Master let go of her hair. "Great!" He stood up. "Now, you aren't my first or only pet. I'll leave you two to get acquainted now."

It was only then that Kitty seemed to notice Puppy, jumping back in surprise and raising her hackles.

Puppy, undaunted by the attempt at intimidation, trotted up to Kitty and nosed at her ears, pulling back when Kitty seemed to cringe away.

Puppy tilted her head from side to side, pondering, before leaning back in and licking Kitty's cheek, hoping to communicate friendliness.

Kitty didn't seem to be particularly pleased with the lick either, but at least she stopped being so tense. She took a tentative step towards Puppy, still a bit defensive, but seemingly recognizing that Puppy didn't mean her any harm.

Puppy wagged her tail, jerking her head forward to try and communicate to Kitty that she should follow her. 

Kitty followed, but kept her head bowed and seemed to squint every time she did look up. Puppy led her through the house all the way down to the basement. Kitty winced at the cold stone floor against her paws, something Puppy could very much sympathize with. 

The basement was dark, only lit by a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling, which Master turned off at night. In the left corner was Puppy's doggy bed, and in the right corner were her food and water bowls, sat atop a small rubber mat. Puppy assumed that Master would bring in a similar set for Kitty in the following days.

Seemingly worn out, Kitty flopped onto the doggy bed and curled up as small as she could get, shivering in the cold air. 

It took Puppy a moment to realize Kitty was crying, shoulders shaking and heaving as she muffled her whimpers against the bed, tears flowing down her cheeks.

Puppy stepped forward and whined in distress, licking the tears off of Kitty's face until she pushed her away, using the side of her hand to wipe away both her tears and Puppy's saliva.

Taking note of Kitty's continued shivering, Puppy came up with a different idea. 

As gently and carefully as she could, Puppy climbed into the bed behind Kitty, curling her larger body around her in the hopes that sharing body heat would help quell the trembling.

At first, Kitty went rigid, not daring to move a muscle. But as the moments passed and the warmth from Puppy's body started to seep into hers, she relaxed, burrowing further into the bed and letting Puppy snuggle her closer.

Exhausted, afraid, yet oddly comforted, Kitty drifted off into a restless sleep.

Some Clancy waxes at last. He was supposed to be an easy piece, but I made the mould myself and didn't do a very good job, leading to problems with the waxes. I also decided he looked too much like a trophy on his original squarish base, so I replaced it with a more natural-shaped one, which was fiddly. Rather than just break the figure off and end up with a weak join, I cut a section around his feet and made a ring-shaped replacement base to slot it into, filled the gap with hot wax, and blended it with a hot electric tool. Then one figure broke off at the foot join anyway, but by poking the hot tool through the base and up into the feet, and filing the hole with hard wax to make a kind of peg, I was able to get it stuck back on securely enough.

Anyway, these are ready to go to the foundry now. I want to do a blue-to-brown shaded patina, which I've been practicing on bronze test strips, and probably need to practice some more.

WIP Intro: Bebop Bayou Tales

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy, Slice of Life Setting: Bebop Bayou (Former Southwestern Louisiana) Time Period: 2139 A.D.

Tropes/Features: Eye dialect/phonetic dialogue, animal people, ghosts, monsters, action, violence, wilderness, swamps, kids doing their best in a troubled world, alternate earth, alternate versions of folk creatures/mythological figures/people from history, magic, psychics, super powers, references/homages to existing cultures (Cajun and Creole), references to Louisiana Voodoo, occasional horror, lost technology, varied POV, and a small remote community.

What are the Bebop Bayou Tales?

The Bebop Bayou Tales are a collection of planned short stories and novelettes that take place in the titular Bebop Bayou, a remote community of beast folk (human/animal hybrids) in the Southwestern corner of former Louisiana. The stories take place in an alternate version of Earth where around 2020, magic suddenly returned to the world, which allowed devils from Hell to invade and wreak havoc on civilization. While this went on, humans awoke to magical powers, a percentage of all animals in the world turned into beast folk, and creatures from myth and legend appeared, almost as if an invisible wall that separated the natural and supernatural had collapsed. Fast forward over a century, and people have managed to survive and adapt, though the world is a very different place from what it once was. A handful of people still remember what the world was like before the Devil Wars, but to most, the sprawling cities of the Old World seem like mere fantasy.

Out on Bebop Bayou, a small group of beast folk led by Old Man Eli (a snapping turtle man) have constructed a village of wood and repurposed junk. They live off the land and do their best to survive. Rina, the self-proclaimed toughest kid in the bayou, fights invading monsters with her best friend Lafayette. Between the action, the kids bump into ghosts, cryptids, and creatures from folklore, and still managed to make some new friends along the way.

Who are the reoccurring characters?

Rina Woodshed

Only eleven years old, Rina is a gator girl that loves fighting, fishing, cooking, and making friends. She lives with her two gigantic parents named Crush and Shelly. Once she had an older brother named Root, who was a protector of the village. One day the bayou was attacked by poachers (people who hunt and enslave beast folk), and Root brought the community together in order to strike back and drive the poachers from the land. Rina, despite being told to stay home, followed everyone and was nearly shot, but Root was there to shield her from the incoming gunfire. Root tragically lost his life in the attack, and Rina has always blamed herself for his death, so she takes it upon herself to keep the bayou safe in her brother's stead. The red patch on her overalls, as well as the band she uses to tie her hair, were taken from the red shirt Root wore on that fateful day.

Lafayette

The Lost Boy of Bebop Bayou, Lafayette is an orphan that wandered into the swamp some three years ago. Without a home or family to his name, the residents collectively adopted the grey fox boy and welcomed him into the community. Old Man Eli treats the boy like a nephew, and has taught him about all sorts of things, including construction, engineering, and foraging, and the boy uses these skills to construct a variety of traps and useful gear for the purpose of monster defense. He became fast friends with Rina early on, and these days the pair act more like siblings than mere friends. When Lafayette isn't helping Rina fend off monsters, he's usually sniffing around the area for treasure, using his lucky coin and finely-tuned senses to guide him.

Scarlet Beauregard (First seen in Episode 2)

A recent arrival to the bayou, Scarlet is the youngest child of the illustrious Beauregard family, a family of snake folk spellweavers from the Kingdom of Xatelia (formerly Texas). She arrived in the bayou with the rest of her parents Crawford and Victoria while riding within their house, which was carried by a giant flying carpet. Scarlet did not wish to leave her homeland behind and reacted poorly to her parent's decision, but through a series of events involving Rina, Lafayette, and the rest of the community, she finally grew accustomed to the strange new land and became proper friends with the other two beast kids. Posh and proud, she has a competitive side and sees Rina as her rival. When in danger, she makes use of her embroidery hoop (a gift from her late grandmother) to weave her magic spells.

All about beast folk

The main residents of Bebop Bayou are beast folk. As mentioned, they're anthropomorphic animals with varying degrees of anthropomorphism. For example, Rina and her family have clearly humanoid bodies with human-like faces, gator eyes, sharp teeth, scales on certain parts of their bodies, and long thick alligator tails. However, some beast folk can be more animal than man, such as another resident of the bayou named Big Pete, who is a catfish man that practically looks if a human-sized catfish grew arms and legs and put on some clothes. Beast folk come in all shapes and sizes, even among the same animal species, and no two beast folk look completely alike. There are also chimeras, which are beast folk that exhibit traits from multiple animals, though these are very rare.

Beast folk age and develop at roughly the same rate as humans do, though the way they're born and develop varies from beast folk to beast folk. Like actual alligators, Rina was born from an egg, and her mother Shelly would sometimes carry her when she was just a baby in her mouth while swimming in order to help get Rina used to water. You can think of beast folk as humanoid adaptions of existing animals with similar traits, senses, abilities, and habits. Most beast folk (such as the ones in the bayou) have very little knowledge of how the world once was, since they've only been around for about 119 years. Until she met humans for the first time, Rina used to think all humans were muscle-bound gunmen due to watching so many old action movies her and her father Crush found in nearby ruins, and even to this day, Rina still believes such humans exist somewhere, calling these people "Arnies."

Regardless of what kind of beast folk a character is, they're omnivorous, with a tendency to eat mostly what their real life animal counterparts eat. However, beast folk almost never eat other beast folk, and instead hunt regular animals (which still exist) and gather edible plants to the best of their abilities. Virtually all water-based beast folk are amphibious, so they can live on land and in the water. Some can only live in fresh or salt water environments, but this doesn't stop them from taking the occasional dip in a lake or the sea. Beast folk also tend to speak the same language that other people around them do, so because of Old Man Eli (who grew up in a human settlement), the residents of the bayou speak English, though some incorporate other Old World tongues, such as French or occasionally Spanish.

Humans have varying opinions on beast folk. Some like them, others fear them, and others still (such as poachers) do not recognize their sapience and hunt them for sport and profit. Beast folk tend to be naturally apprehensive of humans due to the possible dangers they represent, and beast folk communities tend to be remote and isolated because of this. The closest human settlement to Bebop Bayou is a town called Memento, which is due east about a day and a half's walk away. Very occasionally a resident from Memento may get lost and end up near the bayou, but the two settlements largely do not interact with each other. Many of the residents of each settlement don't even know the other exists... Though perhaps this is for the best.

Additional Information

Like my other WIPs, Bebop Bayou Tales has an irregular upload schedule. The first episode can be found here and content related to the series can be found under the tag #bebopbayoutales. Also for art credit, all illustrations shown in this WIP intro are commissions drawn by the very talented @sunshinememoir. If you like cute art like what you've seen here, I highly recommend checking their stuff out! Also while I personally have never lived in Louisiana, I've always been fascinated with its history and unique culture, and always try my best to be respectful to the source material. If my researching skill has failed me and you find something that could be improved, I welcome the critique!
