thronebreaker - kingsman au???
I've been thinking about it since I ever found out about thronebreaker - three years probably???
honestly? I'm not ok. I'm about to die the most shameful and horrible death ᵒᶠ ᵃ ˢᶦᵐᵖ ever.
I disappeared again sorry ⁽ᶦᵗ ʷᶦˡˡ ʰᵃᵖᵖᵉⁿ ᵃᵍᵃᶦⁿ.⁾, needed to fix myself after college graduation both in psychological and physical ways (psychological still screwed up, I still hate myself lol)
anyway, hope you're feeling better than me, blep 💗

I love Reynard, there's no consistency in his design, but I see his salt and pepper hair and I know it's him.

Okay, are werefoxes a thing?
Potentially! I don't know yet!
I've tried to limit a lot of my worldbuilding to what's happening in the here and now, lest I just stay caught in WIP hell forever.
Foxes do have a place in a specific thread of werewolf culture, though, appearing primarily in the Fox Hunt, a form of execution.
A human or werewolf is fitted with a fox mask and pelt - both sewn straight onto skin - and sent off running into a designated chunk of territory. Nearly all werewolves in the immediate area will be there in attendance to hunt the victim down and, once caught, wait for the others to harry and tear them to shreds.
Death isn't immediate. It's brutal, and reserved primarily for those that threaten to reveal werewolves' existence to outsiders.
In theory, anyway. In practice, as you might imagine, it's not always that cut and dry.
Why it's a fox has to do with Reynard and Ysengrimus. Though Reynard is recognized as a folk hero, the 'man of the people,' humiliating the church and undermining its leadership, the choice of species wasn't lost on werewolves of that era. Reynard's own pointless cruelties - specifically, the rape of Ysengrimus's wife in the actual RL text - are a stark reminder that commoners see wolves in every devil that exists, and will betray them accordingly. Often horrifically.
