hey! so um apparently bots keep following me???? assuming it's the same for everyone else
so if you're a person that's following me (why. what prompted you to make a stupid decision) and you have default... everything um maybe try changing your banner, write something in the desc (like pronouns and sexuality and stuff) and reblog a couple of stuff??? unless you'd like to get blocked. which is fine i guess (i question your motives but you do you)

anything about parrot duo please! preferably in the monster au, but i'm not picky
(go parrot duo!)
Roier smells like blood again. That's never a good sign.
So Jaiden sneaks down from her office, her footsteps near silent (thank you, vampire stealth.) She knows that Roier can still hear her, but that's fine. She isn't really trying to be quiet. It just makes him feel better when he gets to show off his werewolf things.
"Jaiden!" Roier calls, drawing out the '-en' at the end of her name pathetically. "Ayúdame! Help me!"
He's in the living room from the sounds of things. Bobby is still outside, too, which is probably a good thing considering how overprotective he can get, the little devil.
When Jaiden steps into the living room, she's first met by the overwhelming sight of blood spilled across their white carpet and their nice leather couch, red footsteps leading to the couch from the half-open front door.
She's then met by the sight and the pathetic whimper of her partner halfway transformed and curled up in a ball on the couch. His shirt is off and he's got it balled up in a half and pressed against what's probably a very open wound on his shoulder.
"Roier!" Jaiden gasps. She flies to his side and hovers nervously over him, her hands brushing against his skin just barely. Just barely. "What happened, oh my God, was it-"
"No, it wasn't him," Roier snaps. He looks ashamed, his pointy little wolf ears drooping sadly and his face falling. "Sorry..."
She shakes her head. "No, I don't- Roier... you said you'd stop going there, what happened?"
She briefly leaves his side just long enough to run to the downstairs bathroom and fetch their rather hefty first aid kit. She lugs it back to the living room and sets up shop, rolling her sleeves up and pulling her hair back.
Roier winces as she moves his hand and the cloth in it, but he doesn't cry. She wishes he would, but he doesn't.
"I needed the knife," he shortly says. Short as in 'ow holy fuck oh my god ow', not as in 'I'm angry and I hate you'. "Is Bobby still outside?"
"Yes, and stop moving-"
"Sorry, sorry!"
Roier stops squirming, though his ears remain flat against his skull and his tail twitches unhappily every time she touches the wound.
Roier never likes to transform in public. He doesn't really like doing it anymore, period, not since... But. But he did, probably to get away from the hunters, because he probably accidentally revealed himself again and she's gonna have to get Cucurucho to help get them under control, and-
Roier yips loudly as Jaiden slides the needle into his skin and starts stitching the wound up. His lips curled back in a pained grimace, Jaiden watches as Roier's teeth flicker between wolf-like fangs and human canines.
"Almost done," she murmurs. He forces his mouth and his eyes shut and squeezes his ruined shirt like a lifeline. "Sorry..."
"No, don't be sorry," he wheezes. "I was the one dumb enough to get stabbed, hah! But at least I got the knife, eh?"
His ears flick towards the coffee table. Jaiden doesn't have to look to know that there's a silver-coated knife laying on it. It's probably covered in blood, too.
Silver knives are hard to come by on the island. Cucurucho doesn't like having too many people have them, it doesn't like the danger it presents. And it's right to, they're dangerous.
Unfortunately, Roier is more stubborn than Cucurucho likes. But, well. What it doesn't know can't hurt it.
Jaiden finishes the stitches and snips off the last of the thread. She leans back against the table, and Roier immediately collapses back onto the couch. His body shakes like it wants to transform fully into the wolf, but he knows that doing so would just break the stitches. So he stays as he is, and Jaiden just wishes he would cry.
"Is this one for Bobby, too?" she asks.
Roier snorts dryly. "When isn't it?"
And isn't that the truth.

My Opinions Of TVDU In 2024
(They really haven't changed all that much but I feel like sharing)
–I loveeee Delena. Yep, I love this ship with all my heart and I'm not afraid to say it.
–I loveee Damon, probably another problematic opinion but I don't care.
–I don't like Caroline. There, I said it. She is just the kind of person that would irritate the shit out of me. Honestly, until season 8 I couldn't handle her scenes.
–Bonenzo is the best. Loveee it. They deserved better and I personally want to stab Julie Plec for how they ended.
–Bonnie deserved better. This is an universal truth.
–I hate Tyler, but I recognise that he was right to hate Klaus and right to be mad at Caroline for sleeping with him. Revenge on Klaus was kind of dumb, but understandable. He was right to want him dead.
–Klaus is my beloved, always going to be and I'm not even sorry.
–Marcel is a Mikaelson!!! Marcel is Klaus's son and his treatment is another reason for me to feel murderous to the writers of the shows.
–I don't like Kol. Yeah, he was right in many things, but he came across as somehow self-righteous and believed himself better than his family. Like bro, you aren't.
–Finn deserved better. I honestly still wonder if Finn knew about Klaus's real father, 'cause if he did Klaus would have a valid reason to hate him. I am saying this because in The Originals season 2 episode 3 we have flashbacks of young Klaus and the necklace Esther gave him. If I remember correctly Finn was always in the background and even retrieved the necklace when Klaus lost it. Given that Finn remembered Freya and what happened to her, it wouldn't be far fetched to think he knew who Klaus's real father was and hid it as well. That being said, he is a victim of his parents as well and deserved better.
–I hate Elijah. He just gives me the wrong vibes.
–Marcel and Rebekah made sense and I ship it. The Mikaelson family is insane with their romantic relationships, so they just sort of clicked.
–Kol should have taken the cure instead of Rebekah. Bekah could just adopt, but what is going to happen with Kol when Davina dies? Nothing good. Plus, he loved being a witch.
–Hayley and Klaus and Klaus and Cami made way more sense than Haylijah and Klaroline. Honestly and throuple with Klaus and the two women who call him out on his shit the most would have been chef kiss. Hope deserved two moms.
–Every Klaus ship made more sense than Caroline. Bonnie? Bennett witch and he likes witches. Aurora? First female vampire (other than Bex) and met him when he wasn't as he is now. Elena? Has Tatia's face, and I think if Klaus just tried to befriend her and explain why he needed to break his curse she would've helped. Camille? Her mind, she clocked him the moment they met, not to mention the O'Connell legacy. Genevieve? Powerful Witch. Hayley? Baby mama, werewolf princess and hybrid, not to mention they are similar. Stefan? The ripper days gave off fruity vibes. Damon? I love their scenes together, they have a similar vibe to them. Rebekah? He is literally killing her boyfriends left and right. Elijah? The codependency is strong here, Elijah's girlfriends have a higher mortality rate than Rebekah's boyfriends. Katherine? Tatia's face, also they are similar. Greta? Their few interactions in season 2 pointed to a thing going on.
–Elena is overhated. Baby has the biggest survivor's guilt in the universe and still she soldiers on. I hate when people said she was less compassionate as a vampire, I honestly thought she was the same. Like, she controls her hunger to become a doctor. She is too good for this world.
–Enzo should have been introduced sooner, Bonnie and him should have gotten together sooner.
–They should have explored Damon's trauma with Augustine more, and the fact that he always disregards his emotions.
–Klaus wolf side should have been explored!!!
–Unpopular opinion, but not everything Katherine did was necessary for her to survive. She could have easily contented herself with one Salvatore brother, but she had to go after both.
–Davina and Klaus needed more scenes together. I mean, that's her adoptive grandpa!
–Lily was awful, Damon was in his rights to not forgive her.
–I liked Valerie, and I liked her with Stefan.
–They should have explained more about Klaus ability to have children, 'cause that was weird. I loved it, but weird.
–Alaric should have died and the twins should have been raised by someone else.
–Matt lived too long.
–Jeremy and Damon were kind of funny.
–Bamon was really great.
–They should have addressed the fact that growing up Damon was the only one there for Stefan. We saw that in the flashbacks but they should have said it more.
–Damon purpose in life was to live for those he loved. My take on him.
–Damon was pretty humanity-full vampire until after Augustine when he turned off his humanity. But, five years of torture in the hands of humans would do that to a guy.
–The witches opinion on vampires were ridiculous. This species has been around for over a millennium, they are pretty assimilated in the magic ecosystem. I think their extinction would actually do more damage than their existence.
–Mikael and Esther deserved more pain.
–I think Dahlia only tried to negotiate with Klaus not only because he was Hope's father but because he was the only one who wasn't Mikael's son.
–Vampire/Supernatural politics are actually so interesting.
–Lexi was too hyped. And I don't get what she had against Damon in the forties.
–Legacies doesn't exist.
That's all. For now.

Military School AU
Wednesday gets (semi) seriously hurt in a challenge/Event and Addams' will fight to death (or just literally unable to continue) and Enid has a flashback to the night with the Hyde and her mind goes blank besides protecting Wednesday.
That's how the Nightshades/Wednesday realize Enid doesn't actually hate them/was just hurt and bitter. And how Enid's Pack realizes just how important Wednesday is to their Alpha/realize Enid Imprinted on Wednesday.
Or, Wednesday comes into contact with one of the Pack (handshake, combat, whatever), and has a vision of what Enid's been going through/feeling and how the Pack has been helping/taking care of her. And to everyone's surprise, Wednesday looks absolutely wrecked (but is trying hard not to show it), and gives them her gratitude and thanks for caring for her Wolf when she wasn't there (no matter how much she wanted to be).
[Sorry if this reads weird, I'm typing this in the car on my phone.]
its all good bud! sorry for answering this so late, my ass desperately tried to draw this but my hand is not handing today so lemme set the scene
Incoming huge werewolf lore dump!
Grimwolves are emotional beings. Any overwhelming emotion can lead to a partial shift! from the growing of teeth, a sudden burst of a werewolf paw or the shifting and dislocating of bones to a bigger form-
you can say its part of the reason why enid is so cold. During her time during her 'slump' in the 2nd semester of her sophomore year when the pack all settle into the dorm, there are times where they can see Enid desperately clenching her fists before slipping on her bracers.
Sometimes, when they wake up early enough to catch sight of Enid without them, they can see the way the muscles in her arms twitch and shift before settling.
They keep their mouth shut, all too aware of the fact that enid wears her muzzle during classes too. They aren't really dumb, they know of how Enid got her alpha rank after all but there's a difference between hearing and seeing
Sometimes, during the end of the semester when Enid seems to be coping all the more better and the muzzle wasn't such a need anymore, they can see the way she tends to pant with her mouth open at times. It wasn't anything new, most werewolves do that too at times
But it gives them an eyeful of the way too big teeth that most werewolves don't have
(aka enid still tends to get overwhelmed at times and having the ability to shift whenever isn't as much as a blessing like most think)
so! the pack are aware that enid's different. They don't know the exact name and she's a bit too big for her size whenever its time for monthly shifting but they never see her fully shift in distress
And that changes alot.
Tumblr media
So as explained briefly here, werewolves have the whole day to get ready for their shift in the night. Which means that they don't tend to be too aggressive, theyre a touch more rational and their body can properly regulate all that wolf magic hormone stuff
Which leads to them looking more wolf than man. Which was a good thing! Makes it easier to blend in with the normies of back then
But grimwolves?
Their shifts are sudden and there is no period to get ready. It's just snap and you're a wolf but normal werewolves aren't made for that and so the body accommodates
So most of the time, it leads to the image above! Grimwolves were rampant back then along with violence so it spread to normies that these were how werewolves are supposed to look like and thus reinforcing their monstrous nature etc etc you get the point
Obviously it's been disproven by outcasts and grimwolves are totally myths
Now, imagine being in a tournament fully expecting to be able to beat a bunch of trained dogs because hey its not like it's the full moon, what can they do?
They already took down the Addams girl and her flowery friends, what's wrong with besting those smug mutts too?
Anyways I suck at words rn but enid beats their ass. She's been trying to control her shifting since her second semester last year but honestly, Wednesday has always lead to her doing the craziest of things
Revealing her existence on live was certainly not one she expected to do but if it meant keeping Wednesday alive-
Well, it wouldn't be the worst thing Enid has done

Something Blue (Part 2) // Sterek
Tumblr media
Derek is getting married and Stiles, as his best man, decides to bring in an old bridal tradition.
Warnings: swearing, a lot of built-up feelings that don't come out in the best of ways.
W/C: 2,487
A/N: Here come all the feels :)) (oh, and Derek is just slightly dumb)
Read part one here
✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚✧・゚: ✧・゚:✧・゚:
The two werewolves followed in shock as the situation quickly escalated. "How can you marry someone and not put effort into it?! Look at the state of this thing!". He held the loose tie up. "It's a completely different and incompatible color, stained and- look here" he nearly shoved it into Derek's face, "It's coming unstitched! How can you do something like that to Braeden?! How can you think of no one but yourself?!" The room was silent, the only sound being the heavy breathing of a now completely disheveled Stiles. But the tension in that silence was dense. So thick, Scott's calling came muffled to his friend's ears. "Stiles?" Scott hesitated for a moment. He took a shy step forward, but Derek extended his arm, stopping him before he could do or say anything else.
"Scott," he said, turning his head just enough to see him. "Can you give us a second?" The young alpha nodded quietly, before making his way out of the room. Stiles was still frozen in place, avoiding Derek's gaze. "This isn't about Braeden or style, is it?" Derek took one slow step closer to Stiles. "Of course it is. Who else would it be about?" Stiles blurted out. "Stiles. Look at me." Derek's voice was calm and tender. It wasn't the voice of somebody angry. It was the voice of someone worried. When Stiles finally held his gaze his eyes were red, the tears now evident. "You know I don't have to listen to your heartbeat to know when you're lying to me."; the corner of Derek's mouth turned up into a smile. He never smiled at Stiles. Well, rarely. The only times he did that was to calm him down, to let him know that everything was okay. Except for this time nothing was gonna be okay, and Stiles knew that. "I'm missing something blue. Why don't we finish your ritual, hm?" Derek asked, his hand on Stiles's shoulder as soft as his voice when he spoke.
Stile's mouth suddenly went dry. With hesitation, he rummaged through the pocket of his pants, before pulling something small out of it. "Something blue, of course.", Derek whispered, looking at the dangling keys. "Stiles, why do you want to give me your Jeep?" "So you and Braeden have more space for groceries, suitcases, babies-" Derek's look was enough to stop the amber-eyed from continuing. "Why do you really want me to have your Jeep, Stiles? You'd never give that thing to anybody." Stiles opened his mouth to come up with some stupid excuse, but that's when he realized there were no words in any vocabulary behind which he could hide. And he didn't want to. The whole point of this charade was for him to confess his feelings to Derek. And so he did. "Because I'm scared you will forget me." Derek chuckled, shaking his head. "We both know that is impossible." "No, it isn't." "Stiles. There is no way I'm forgetting you. You're my anchor, my safe person, the one who keeps me sane when everything else around me screams for me to give in and let the wolf take over." Derek briefly paused and a glint of hope made its way through Stiles's eyes. Maybe there was a chance. And then Derek spoke again. "You're the closest thing to family I have." For a second, everything around Stiles went black. He didn't hear a single word Derek spoke after that sentence. He was sure that if the werewolf had focused his hearing, he would have been able to hear the sound of Stile's heart shattering. "That's not what I meant" was the only thing Stiles managed to get out. "What did you mean, then?" "God, how are you this clueless?". Stiles stepped away. His eyes were resentful and sad, but his face was somehow unreadable. "I don't… I don't understand." "Of course you don't, you idiot! I love you!" Stiles screamed, tears brimming his eyes. The room fell silent, Stiles's gaze piercing through Derek. After what felt like a lifetime, Derek's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes staying on the young man in front of him. "What do you mean you love me?". The question came out quiet, almost shy. "I mean I love you. I have loved you since the first time I laid my eyes on you that afternoon in the preserve. And I hate you for that. I hated you then and I hate you now. I hate you because there is no waking moment where I'm not thinking about you, and there is no dream of mine you don't hunt at night. I hate how good your aftershave smells, how perfect your hair is. I hate how warm your laughter makes me feel. I hate how whenever you hug me I wish we could stay like that forever, how destabilizing the sight of your body is. I hate everything you do to me. And you don't even realize it. You don't understand I would go to the ends of the Earth for you." Derek's puzzled expression did not falter. If anything, his eyebrows furrowed even deeper, if that was possible. "Okay.", Stiles scrubbed a hand across his face in frustration. "Maybe this will clear things out for you." He took a couple of long strides, enough to close the distance between him and Derek, before crashing his lips on his. Being caught off guard, the werewolf didn't react immediately. But then his brain started working again, his reactions to the kiss changing as the information was being processed.
Stiles loved him. He loved him in a way nobody else had ever loved him before. Derek deepened the kiss, flattered. His heart was brimming with affection for the clumsy young man who had irreparably made his way into the wolf's heart. But that was all it was. Affection. Not the romantic love Stiles had just poured all over him. And that's when he pushed him away, taking a step back to put even more distance between himself and Stiles. "I- I can't do this." It was now Stiles's turn to look puzzled. "Why did you kiss me back, then?" "It-it was a mistake. I let my emotions get the best of me and reacted without thinking." "Oh, so you're saying you love me too, but can't do this? Why, is it because of Braeden?" "Yes… No. I don't know.", Derek sighed exasperated, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Look. Me marrying Braeden has nothing to do with you. I love her. And I love you too, just…" it pained Derek too much to finish the sentence. "… Just not in the same way as I love you." Stiles finished it for him. Derek's gaze fell, knowing this would probably be the breaking point for Stiles. And, just as likely, for their relationship. He wasn't as clueless as Stiles made him out to be. He had noticed the glances Stiles would steal at him, how he would use all possible excuses to touch him, how he was always there for him, always available, always prioritizing him. Derek wasn't clueless. He had just been living in denial the entire time. Because he was scared to lose Stiles, too. Truth be told, he was terrified. Stiles's hand came to rest on Derek's shoulder. When he looked up, he saw a faint smile on Stile's face. His eyes were still filled with sadness, but Derek knew what he was doing. Stiles was putting him first. Stiles always put Derek first. He pulled Stiles into a tight hug. "I'm sorry.", he whispered. "Don't be.", Stiles replied. "I can finally stop waiting for you. Now, what do you say we get you married, huh?"

This might be the dumbest question on this blog, but is the motley crew like your AU/fanfic or is it an actual show? Can you also please give me a short summary?
I’m so sorry for asking such dumb questions I just really like your blog and I want to know more😭❤️🫶
It actually started out as a DnD style table top game I made for my friends. I decided to post some of the stuff from it here on tumblr and I'm re-writing it as a fic.
There is a LOT of lore, so I'll try to keep it brief and stick to the broadest points.
It's a goth lit crossover story, it begins with strange events happening all over England. There's an increase in the rat population, clouds of bats fill the sky at night, there are rumors of occult activity. The great detective Sherlock Holmes is called out of retirement to investigate a string of grisly murders and disappears without a trace during the investigation, leaving John Watson to try and find him.
Meanwhile Lawrence Talbot and his best friend Quincey Harker, the son of Jonathan and Mina (dracula) trying to rescue a woman from a wolf attack one night while passing by Baker Street. Lawrence is bitten and the bite is treated by Watson who finds it odd that there are wolves in London as wolves had been extinct in the UK for several centuries at that point and no zoo had reported a missing wolf.
Lawrence feels ill but otherwise fine and goes home thinking he'll sleep it off. Through the bite he contracts the curse of lycanthropy, on his first transformation he kills his entire family. The police investigate but don't connect Larry to the murders. The scene of the crime is a similar state to the one Holmes was investigating when he disappeared leading the newspaper to report the Talbot's as the latest victims of a serial killer at large. Watson questions Larry and Quincey, thinking they may be able to provide him a lead to finding Sherlock and, not knowing who else to trust they reveal Larry's lycanthropy. Watson is skeptical but once it's revealed that Larry is a werewolf he's convinced to help them find the cause of the curse and hopefully a cure.
Their search for a cause and cure leads them to fragments of a strange journal about an allegedly deceased man called Henry Jekyll who's own story seems to loosely mirror a werewolf curse and while trying to break into Jekyll's abandoned lab thinking his serum may have been the source of the curse they run into an unsavory character, Edward Hyde. Edward is at first, unhelpful, but once he realizes Lawrence Talbot is from a wealthy family he offers to help, stating that he knows a few things about Henry Jekyll and can get them access to his research in exchange for a place to stay and some money. Watson is mistrustful and advises the boys not to reveal Larry's condition to Edward until he proves himself an ally. At first Edward plans to mooch off of them for awhile, steal their money and disappear but once they figure out that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person they get him to agree to research Larry's condition and develop a cure derived from Hyde's serum.
Their continued investigation and search for Sherlock and a cure for Larry lead them to all kind of places and they start to assemble a group, picking up the Frankenstein creature and the Phantom of the Opera along their way.
It's eventually revealed that vampires, lead by Dracula have set up a society in England with the intention of taking over. Dracula is working for and with other villains from gothic literature like Dorian Gray, Carmilla, Imhotep the mummy, Dr Moreau, and Griffin the invisible man. Most of whom have sold or are in the process of selling their souls in Faustian contracts to Mephistopheles (Dorian's portrait physically is one). The crew's quest to find Sherlock and cure Larry turns into a bid to save the UK and possibly all of the world from team Dracula and Mephistopheles's machinations.

I saw you reblog a werewolf sam and kirby thing a while ago. Do you write for them?
If so would you write about werewolf sam and kirby in their wolf forms cuddling with tara? On the full moon i think they would be possessive with tara and they would carry her around by the hem of her shirt! They would act like mama wolves and tara loves it! The part tara doesn’t love is when they try to bring dead animals that they hunted as a gift for tara(like how dogs and cats bring food to their young) into the house
That's @a-b-o-v-eg-r-o-u-n-dr-a-d-i-s-h's Cursed by the Moonlight AU! She really inspired me with her werewolf Sam thoughts, so I'm working on my own werewolf AU. I have written so much lore today lol.
Sidenote, I'm having such trouble naming it. All I can think of is fangs for the support. I wanted a good moon or pack pun but I'm dumb 😞 Also I just kinda want to make Werewolf timelines of all my existing AU's lmao. (The urge to make this another 10 years age gap AU is SO strong because of the image of big doggy Sam and tiny little Tara.)
Sam always comes back from her moonlight jaunts with a gift for Tara, like it's an apology for having to leave her alone. Sometimes it's flowers, pretty rocks, and toys people have dropped. Sometimes it's bones, sometimes it's animals. Usually dead. An alive rabbit once that Sam was incredibly proud of catching if the breeze her wagging tail caused was anything to go by. Tara made her put the rabbit back. (She once bought back a snake and dropped it on Tara's bed whilst she was sleeping, a mistake she won't ever make again.)
Born wolves in their full form are massive, so Tara is prime size for being scruffed during full moons, much to her frustration sometimes. They get so much more protective during that three-day period of the full moon that she has no choice but to engage in pack-time. (Tara does love wolf-cuddles, though she'll never admit it. There's nothing like climbing on top of this massive creature and snuggling down, like facing this beast that could kill her in an instant but knowing it won't.)
13-year-old Tara thought she would be the one getting jealous when 22-year-old Kirby starts coming around, because Kirby is a born wolf too, and Tara's just a lame human. This is someone new that 18-year-old Sam can share her world with, that Tara will never be able to relate to (👀), but it turns out actually Sam is the one who gets jealous of having to share Tara with Kirby. Tara's insecurities all melt away on that first full moon together when she's patting Kirby's head and Sam butts her way in between them, growling all the while, to wrap herself around Tara.
Kirby was actually really nervous about spending a full moon around Tara, she'd never wolfed out around a human. It's just not something that is done. But Sam never grew up with a pack like she should have, she doesn't know their rules and laws, and she's always spent her moons with her sister, so it's not like Kirby would be able to convince her otherwise anyway, and Sam does need to learn and be around other wolves, so she takes it upon herself to join them to teach her. Kirby expressed her worries to Sam directly, and the way she had laughed was unnerving, the way she said "as if I would ever let you hurt Tara" was chilling. Kirby is older than Sam, and yet the threat in her words made her want to submit like she was just a pup.
Kirby's dismayed to see just how much bigger than her Sam is in their full forms. It speaks to more than just their human sides, it speaks to a level of power. She really needs to convince Sam to join the pack, but she knows packs don't allow humans, and Sam has made her own with a human.

More on my werewolf Guillermo au idea because I am, in fact, obsessed
- he was attacked one night and got transformed and the pack did take care of him for a few days but one of the wolves recognized him as the familiar of that vampiric household (or maybe they recognized him as the vampire slayer familiar) and he gets kicked out and return to the house
- Nandor feels immediately guilty when he sees Guillermo in the front door but he is Nandor and he is like "where the fuck did you go???? What the fuck did you do??????? You abandoned me only to go skidaddle with those fucking dogs" or something like that and Guillermo is PISSED and sad and angry and he's like "This is YOUR fault! You didn't turn me into a vampire and now I'm a fucking werewolf and I hate it I hate it so much" and Nandor is screaming and crying internally but he don't know what to do externally and is like "werewolves can be kind of cool if they want to........"
- Guillermo hates being a werewolf, he feels like he lost the sexy imposed chic transformation into a misterious creature of the night he deserved and instead he got attacked and almost eaten and has this fucking scars all over his body and he don't get cool powers he can just turn into an ugly dog-man every 28 days and it is not cool and sexy it is ugly and smelly and he hates it he hates it so much it makes him remember how he was bullied in school and he hates it
- Nandor is very very veeeeery protective of him and really tries to pump him up but he still needs to act aloof™ so it's not very good but it's cute and Guillermo understands Nandor enough to know what he is trying to do
- the other vamps are initially disgusted (expecially Laszlo) but really they can't deny anymore that they love Guillermo so Nadja slowly is like "well at least you are not one of the smelly ones....." "you can be kind of cute when you transform......" "your dumb dog manners can be charming to some people, not us, obviously~, but some people......" and Laszlo is "well you know there are people who gets of to furries....." "I'm not saying I had a thing with a werewolf but if it is the right werewolf I can begin to think about it...." and Colin just shrug, he likes to tease Guillermo about it but he's not thaaat heated up about werewolves to begin with so it's just normal
- eventually everyone just start to love big cute wolf Guillermo, they give him treats and scratch behind his ears and calls him a good boy and play catch with him
- they even share meals now! (the vamps make sure to not suck so much blood to keep the meat juicy and nice but they deny it every time
- he transforms into a mexican wolf or a red wolf because I like them and they are kind of Guillermo shaped

oh boy, i believe i recognize what au "raphael vs aoi" is from! i didn't realize you were writing it, tell me more :D
I think I did share this snippet on the server! But I am very happy to talk about this AU.
First, context for anyone who does not know about a Very Specific turtle AU XD
This is a server AU where the various iterations of turtles are werewolf packs living in the same area. This kind of started with the meta thought of werewolves as "monster, curse or animal", due to the different ways horror movies can treat them and the different ways they might view themselves, and how this overlaps with how mutant turtles see themselves.
87 are wolves that were turned into werewolves accidentally by werewolf Splinter (they attacked him, he's very sorry he bit them, they are not that sorry they have thumbs now).
03 are experiments that were rescued by their (different) Splinter (they were human to begin with but don't remember it, Splinter was a wolf).
12 Splinter was a werewolf hunter who rescued some baby werewolves rather than kill them. They bit him in the process so he's been hiding out with them since. He's raised them to view it as a curse, they're the only ones that lock themselves up at full moon.
Rise are a different kind of experiment, with the blood of Old Ones (Krang) injected into them, making huge semi-humanoid demonic wolves at full moon. They're nice kids! But scary as hell. Lou Jitsu!Splinter is a vampire because Big Mama would be, wouldn't she? He can turn into a wolf as a result! Also a bat, but that's less good for family bonding.
We gave everyone different names, as well, which I'm not going to relate here. But it's important that Aoi is Rise!Leo while the 87 turtles are the ones who kept the original names.
So! 87 Raphael is usually the least angry Raphael - if any of his fans are reading this I need to note that as a pre-emptive apology - but he has a really bad time in Red Sky. So one of the things we were playing with in the werewolf AU was shifting things more towards Red Sky at some point both because it gives 87 werewolf issues (being hunted, feeling resentful) and because it makes 87 the oldest for a fun switch from them being the young, silly ones.
This snippet was me running with that idea, and with the fact that 87!Raphael gets less funny and more bitter under pressure but Rise!Leo just doubles down on the jokes. I'm not really sure I got Raphael's voice here, even at his most aggressive. But the idea of Aoi having his coping mechanism treated as annoying and broken by someone who usually shares it still feels like something.

The thing is. The thing is, it’s not really your fault. You’re not used to this, not used to feeling like this, and you’re not even sure if this is the way things have been going lately or the wolf hormones finally hitting. You’ve always been the quickest to yip and nip and tease but roll over as soon as anyone sends a glare your way. Suddenly you’re standing next to Donatello and Leonardo staring down Michelangelo when he starts bouncing along and poking at things.
That’s not the thing though. Making Michelangelo sad isn’t your fault either, but it’s not the thing.
The town’s feeling more hostile lately. You’ve seen enough horror movies to know what a mob looks like even before they grab the torches and pitchforks. It’s pretty certain you’re immune to pitchforks, but you’re not immune to torches, even if you’re not as flammable as Yoshi’s pack. That’s not counting the hunter someone hired who used silver bullets. Silver. Normal bullets bounce off you. These go through you and they burn all the way.
So you’ve always been the one to make a joke but not much seems funny right now. You’re territorial, uncertain, powerful, you’re picking fights with Leonardo, you’re terrified, you want it all to stop.
And Aoi made a dumb joke like everything was normal.
He’s a monster in wolf form. Huge, long limbs to reach for you tipped by tearing claws, with an uncanny ability to fade into the shadows. That didn’t stop you going for his throat like a bullet.
The look on his face, ears folded down, eyes wide and averted, the way he’d thrown himself back from you as if you were the size of Shuiro. Like you’d attacked a puppy.
Then he’d perked his ears up, lolling his tongue out in that weird doggy laugh he affects.
You switched to human form, soft hands and blunt nails. A signal that you weren’t going to fight that didn’t require backing down. “Get out of here, Aoi,” you said. “You’re not as funny as you think you are.”
You think maybe you shouldn’t have said that. You haven’t seen him since. He’s fine, though. If he was actually missing you’d have heard from all three of his brothers. He’s just avoiding you.
Aoi’s not the stupid puppy he acts like. He can handle some hurt feelings.
And anyway, it’s not your fault.

Now that Chase has agreed to move in with Wyatt, he had to return to Moonwood Mill. The only place he'd been able to afford at first was a rundown motel room, and he just never moved.
(Lot by somewhsome)
Tumblr media
Why move when Chase couldn't get more than small jobs here and there, and wasn't sure what he would destroy.
He's glad that Wyatt agreed to stay in Sulani. He doesn't need to see this place.
Tumblr media
After double checking to make sure he has everything (he doesn't have much) and the fridge is cleaned out (he did it before he left), Chase runs into the person he was about to go and see.
C: Mr. Bollinger.
Vincent Bollinger bought the place a few months ago.
Tumblr media
V: Mr. Wolfhart. Welcome back. How was your trip?
Something about this guy always puts Chase on edge, like nails on a chalkboard.
C: Good. Better than expected. That's why I was coming to see you, in fact.
Chase is desperately trying to be polite.
Tumblr media
V: Oh?
C: Yeah, I've decided to make the move permanent. So just need to settle up, already cleaned it out.
V: I see. I'm afraid I need something more than just money from you, Mr. Wolfhart.
C: Excuse me?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
C: Listen, if this is going where I think it is.. I've got a boyfriend.
V: What. No, you dumb mutt. I'm not asking you for sex.
C: Oh, that's a relief. Wait - what?
V: I may have not come here voluntarily, but I'm not stupid. Wolfhart? You're not being subtle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
C: What? That's literally my last name? My parents' last name?
V: You're shitting me.
C: I'm really not.
V: Your last name is Wolfhart and you became a werewolf?
Guess the wolf's out of the bag at this point.
C: Yeah. I'm aware of the irony.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
V: You might want to consider changing it.
C: I actually am. Now what is it you ACTUALLY want?
V: I want you to bite me, of course.
Chase can't believe what he's hearing, and he laughs lightly.
C: Are you a special kind of stupid? You have no idea what you're asking.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
C: I've spent YEARS trying to get this under control, finding a cure, and you think I'm going to SPREAD this curse? The hell is wrong with you?
Chase is shocked and appalled. If he was going to turn someone, it wouldn't be someone like this man. That would be a disaster.
Tumblr media
V: I know exactly what I'm asking for, mutt. And I'm going to get it. See, I got some scores to settle. And you're going to give me the power to do it.
Vinnie has always been ambitious.
C: Why the PLUM do you think I'd help you? No! No, you're insane.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vinnie steps into Chase's space and he suddenly gets a whiff of.. something. Something that makes him angry and pulls his wolf RIGHT to the surface.
V: Voluntarily or not, you'll do it.
Chase snaps and snarls at Vinnie.
C: Is this what you want?! This is what you want to be??
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
C: You think this is POWER?! This is what you're hoping for?
A flash of Wyatt's face goes through his mind and it's like dunking him in cold water, cooling the rage in him. His tone is no less harsh though.
Tumblr media
C: No, I know your type. The packs here would put you down like the rabid dog you'd be.
That's right. He's more than instinct, than the wolf. He has Wyatt waiting for him back in Sulani. Patient, kind, beautiful Wyatt. He won't let this pathetic man MAKE him do anything.
Tumblr media
This is not the response that Vinnie was expecting. He was told that this concoction - which makes him want to gag - would send any werewolf into an uncontrollable rage. But this one isn't? Great. So much for a 'guarantee'. Now he has another score to settle.
Tumblr media
Maybe Vinnie can still piss him off enough to trigger a transformation.
V: Listen here, you piece of filth. You don't know a thing about me. I deserve this. I'm OWED this, after what I've had to endure.
C: You're insane. I'm leaving.
V: No, you're not!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chase has stopped listening. Even if Vinnie continues to yell at him, he just keeps walking. You can't argue with crazy. He'll mail a check for what he owes. But he's not risking being near Vinnie Bollinger for a second longer.

Okay. I talked a bit of the live action Monster High designs, and now we have our first looks at the new animated series looks. Let's go in to them.
And I'm gonna be more positive about these ones. Mostly because they look better then the live action designs. And I'm tired of being negative about everything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gabrielle Nevaeh Green (That Girl Lay Lay) as Clawdeen Wolf – Half-human and half-werewolf, Clawdeen is thrilled to join Monster High, despite the challenge of being a half-monster in a school of full-monster students.
Okay. Let's start with Clawdeen. Half human, Half werewolf. So 75% human and 25% wolf. Yet this is the most Wolf like Clawdeen has ever looked. Changes to her character aside, I do love her nose and ears. If only she had a tail and the design would be almost perfect. But the changes to her personality still keep her down.
Overall, I'm giving this a 7/10. There's really nothing wrong with it. I'm just not a fan of the new personality. And the dumb half human thing. That doesn't make sense.
Courtney Lin (Crash: The Animated Series) as Draculaura – The daughter of Dracula, vampire Draculaura seems like the perfect dictionary definition of a monster. But she hides a deep desire to become a witch, which is strictly forbidden in the monster world.
Farewell to Debi Derryberry's iconic performance as Draculaura. You will be missed.
Still not the biggest fan of the two-tone hair. But this does look better then the live action. I also love her hat. It keeps her protected from the sun as a vampire, and the spider web pattern? Love it. Still iffy on the Witch thing. Maybe if it was just a taboo for vampires specifically to become witches, because of some sort of feud maybe, it would work better.
6.5/10. Could use more black in her color scheme.
Tumblr media
Iris Menas (West Side Story) as Frankie Stein – Brought to life just 15 days ago by their scientist parents, Frankie is figuring out who they are and who they want to be.
Frankie is still the best part of this entire reboot. They're just, so much better then their original counterpart. Yeah i said it. OG Frankie was bland. Her personality trait was that she kept getting a new boyfriend every 5 minutes.
Design wise they look pretty good. But their color scheme is a bit of a mess. Bright blues, that yellowy green, neon pink. It's a lot but at the same time it does fit Frankie. Of course the person that's still figuring themselves out has an uncoordinated color scheme.
8/10.
Tumblr media
Tony Revolori (Spider-Man: No Way Home) as Deuce Gorgon – The son of Medusa and Lyra, Deuce is often influenced by the snakes that live on his head and get him into trouble.
I'm gonna say it. Deuce looks the best out of all of them. Take notes live action. Scales! Scales on his clothes. Not camo. And actual sunglasses! And he has snakes! Actual snakes! And they're so expressive! I can see them getting Deuce in trouble. Also I need Deuce to have a bad hair day that's just the snakes fighting each other.
But who is Lyra? I don't know enough about Greek mythology to know who that is. Until I know, I'm just imagining Lyra Heartstrings from MLP.
9/10. It would be 10/10 if he didn't have sleeves.
Tumblr media
Kausar Mohammed (Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous) as Cleo De Nile – Cleo is a mummy monster who knows she is destined for greatness--if only everyone else would just admit it and get out of her way.
She actually has dark skin. Wow. Didn't know they had it in them. And wrappings. She's an actual mummy. Not just an Egyptian girl.
Though there's something off. That blue. It is her blue. But in the original it was more of an accent. Here it dominates her design. And there's barely any gold in her hair. I'm not so sure about this design.
5/10.
Tumblr media
Alexander Polinsky (Blaze and the Monster Machines) as Heath Burns – Temperamental and passionate as the son of Hades would be, Heath is quite literally a hot head who can get worked up over anything and is prone to fiery outbursts.
If you don't have anything nice to say. Don't say anything at all. So let's keep this short.
No.
Let's make it longer.
Why?! What did they do to him?!
Okay, there's a simple fix. Either make his hair more red or, (can't believe I'm saying this) lighten his skin to be more pale yellow. Make a better separation between his head and his hair. That way it looks more like Heath, and less like Bart Simpson on fire.
And Hades?! What? Did they didn't do their research? Did they only watch the Disney version? Fire isn't Hades' element! It's earth! (If I remember correctly) and if he's the son of Hades, where did his last name come from?
And the Hothead personality. Really? That wasn't the pun with Heath's original personality. He was a Wannabe Hotshot! Not Hothead! If they wanna give Deuce a best friend, connect him to Greek mythology and have him be a Hothead, Manny Tuar would be a much better choice!
-5/10.
Tumblr media
Valeria Rodriguez (To Your Eternity) as Lagoona Blue – Having grown up in an ancient underwater Mayan Castillo with her ocean nymph mother and sea monster father, sweet yet ferocious Lagoona doesn't know much about life on land.
General consensus about Lagoona is that the design is good, and the personality is fun. But it's not Lagoona Blue. She's not even blue! From here on out, we will not be referring to her as Lagoona. This, is Lulu.
So Lulu looks fun. Her design is pretty good for a sea monster. And it's interesting that of all the things to keep from the original is her status as Hybrid between a Nymph and a Sea Monster.
So Lulu gets a 6/10. Lagoona gets a 1/10.
Tumblr media
Alexa Kahn (Madagascar: A Little Wild) as Toralei Stripe – hailing from an elite monster family, Toralei is a werecat and the "bad girl" at Monster High. Old fashioned and brave, Toralei is committed to her cause of preserving monster society.
So Toralei is back. Nice surprise. Especially since she got spared from the Live Action treatment.
I don't hate this design. But there's some ways to improve her. First, change the purple to black. Second, her orange seems to lean towards yellow instead of red. Just slide her orange hue just a bit to red and she'd be great.
8/10.
Tumblr media
Debra Wilson (Baby Shark's Big Show!) as Headmistress Bloodgood – The headless overseer of the school, Headmistress Bloodgood has a proclivity for wandering around at night to keep an eye on the students.
Was the picture of Debra Wilson staring into my soul necessary? They couldn't pick a different picture? This doesn't flatter her.
Anyway, Bloodgood. Well she's certainly not Bloodbad. She looks great. Still wish her color scheme was a bit darker though. And was so hard for the live action to have the same belt as this one? Why did go with a boring ribbon? This looks way better!
9/10.
And that's it. That's all we know. Seems Abbey and Ghoulia are sidelined once again. Clawd and Howleen still don't exist. At least, not as Clawdeen's siblings. And there was a leak of what dolls are coming and Twyla was on it. So we can expect to see her.
I'm cautiously optimistic about all this. It looks better then the movie, though thats not a high bar to reach.
We'll just have to see what happens.

The Quarry video game has Werewolves in it. How do you feel about their portrayal?
I don't know anything about the game or its portrayal of werewolves, but one quick google search reveals they are hairless zombie creatures that don't remotely resemble wolves whatsoever, and they probably act exactly like zombies and guides seem to imply that they're largely depicted as them, too.
So, I hate it. I certainly hate that design. I'm not even picky about werewolf designs, really, like I've found myself moving a little bit away from the "fully furred" design simply because because it attracts too many furries and internet people think it looks "cuddly" (and I do not like cuddly werewolves) - but for crying out loud, would even a LITTLE bit of fur have killed them? Even a single HAIR? At least the same amount of hair as a human??? Why does it lose ALL OF ITS HAIR?
That thing looks ridiculous and awful. It's just blood and muscle. It's a freaking Licker except without the unique design and the scary teeth and claws, with its eyes popping out.
Tumblr media
Not a werewolf. That thing looks so strikingly dumb. In what universe does that resemble a "werewolf" at all? How did werewolves get so absolutely removed from wolves?
(note: don't read the article I got this image from; if you've followed my blog for a long time and you read that article you'll want to just explode, like I did)
Why not at least wolf-men? Wolf-men are great.
But as for portrayal, I wouldn't know. I never had any plans to play the game, though I didn't know werewolves were in it. Knowing what I know now, I have plans to never play it, ever.
Like I said, from what little I see of a cutscene clip and what I read, they're stereotypical crazy stupid evil characterless generic antagonist zombies, so from what I am seeing right now, yeah, I won't be investigating it further.
Sorry for the harsh answer. Things have been beyond not-so-great for me lately and frankly this "werewolf" portrayal only worsened my mood.
But thank you for asking!

why did joshie and bernie say no to bernie baby dressing as a hunter so fast. is there a past trauma there i smell
*SMILES EVILY* I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED! this is a long one stick with me here.
essentially the bjs Story centers jotchie and his fucked up brain problems right. i mean i don't think that terribly shines through my art of them it's definitely more of a writing thing (smile) BUT. jotchie's issues stem from when he got attacked in the woods, which caused his turning into a werewolf. now he's all kinds of scared that since HE got attacked, he could hurt others too. which is dumb. but he's fucked up.
ect ect jotchie plays mercenary for a few years after running away from home, he never really makes any friends which makes him desperate and lonely as hell, then enter samir. samir is trying his damndest to study transformation magic but he's only got bernie as a test subject and he knows every inch of that motherfucker's body by now (high school sweethearts<3) and now some new shifter is in the woods?! THEIR woods?! oh boysy!!! so samir captures jotch and VERY politely asks if he can study him in a lab. jotch at this point is so desperate for connection he sees this cute dude asking to spend some time with him and he's like sure man fuck it like whatever at least if this dude uses me as a lab rat i'll get to stare at him while it happens. literally whatever man.
ROMAMCE ENSUES samir is so nice to jotchie it kinda fucking freaks him out cos he was kinda prepared to get killed or something but this dude is actually so sweet and likes hanging out outside of study time? so now jotch is all kindsa self conscious about shifting around him and it's so much worse cos samir is actually really respectful of his boundaries? like oh god how did he stumble into such a good fucking person that likes him and is nice oh god he REALLY can't fuck this up now.
NOW BACK TO BERNIE. LOL. bernie, too, is a shifter, though he shifts into a polar bear rather than a wolf. bernie was also BORN a shifter rather than turned, so he's all experienced with this shit where jotch knows little to nothing outside of his own lived experience. dude's never even met another shifter before. bernie sees this and kinda takes pity on the poor guy, shows him the ropes, drops the absolute fucking bomb that is the fact that your clothes just phase with you when you shift, so jotchie's whole "if i wear this collar it'll strangle me when i shift without wanting to" strat kinda goes out the fucking window. which is bad cos he cares about samir. there goes his fucking fail safe.
ah, but, there's bernard. bernard is much bigger and stronger than him, shifted and unshifted both. if bernie's around and jotch shifts without wanting to, if he tries to hurt samir, bernie can just kill him. easily. he's so strong! bernie is so cool! he's seen him kill deer like nobody's business! bernie, now, is his fail safe. as long as bernie's around, he can relax.
but oh ho ho, idiot that jotchie is, does not realize that bernie likes him too! even when the three of them all start dating, jotchie can't fucking compute in his brain that he CARES about him and, yknow, that kinda makes it hard to kill somebody? he also of course never ran that idea by bernard, just kinda assumed oh for suresies he'd be down to kill me the moment i did something bad. no problem. don't even worry about it.
now i don't have the Exact scene mapped out in my head on how i want this to go, but essentially it all comes to a head when jotchie mentions this exact thing, that ah, it's okay, if i do anything you can just kill me. bernie is absolutely fucking devastated because what the hell? what the fuck does this guy think of him? that he could kill him, just like that? that he could kill him at all? has josh only been keeping him around because he wants him to murder him? is that all he is?
jotchie's self hatred bleeds into his relationships with others A FUCKING LOT. it sucks. he does not even realize that's what's happening.
but of course love must prevail, jotchie DOES care for bernie very deeply NOT just cos he wants to be killed so he continues the absolute egregious process of trying to hate himself a little less every day. bernie does forgive him but shit still stings. (SAMIR IS ALSO CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF THIS, ANGEL PETNAME, SHIT SUCKS FOR EVERYBODY) so the idea of bernie dressing up as the character who's entire purpose is to kill jotchie's? woof! very bad!
thank you so much for asking i love you forever 🫂

why i don't like Allison
I have gotten into a lot of 'conversations' about why i don't like Allison and a hand full of other characters so i'm just going to make a little rant series about the teen wolf characters.
I wanna start with, i don't absolutely despise her character she just annoys me the most with the events that follow her. so lets start from the beginning.
_____
When she arrives to Beacon Hills her mum almost hits someone in the road and makes the discussion to get out of the car to look for this random person in woods she knows nothing about. now you can say what you want but that was stupid.
Her first day of school a random boy just hands her a pen, no words or anything. lucky her though she just so happen to forget her pen not suspicious at all.
She finds out her boyfriend is a werewolf when her dad tried to run him over and then completely trusts her aunts word when she says that Werewolf's are bad (disregarding the friends she has made and have not shown any signs of being evil) as she has one chained to an electric fence. no need to question anyone its fine, aunt knows all no reason to think shes crazy.
Is forgiven without needing to prove that she is sorry and didn't know what she was doing.
She then does it again when her mother dies, no questions asked just listens to the people she knows can me crazy. doesn't ask Scott what happened or Stiles hell doesn't even read the letter and then tries to kill Boyd and Erica who have done nothing to her.
Is forgiven again without proving herself but still doesn't help at all.
half goes after Issac half leads him on while still wanting Scott doesn't actually help them with the Nogitsune just accidentally finds out that silver kills the Oni which, not a surprise kinda right in your face really she just ended up dying cause she, like an idiot, stooped in the middle of a battle. breaks Issac's heart while dying because she reveals that she was still completely in love with Scott.
she was just another dumb main female character that thought she could do everything and anything while crying about not being able to do anything, putting her life at risk because shes an idiot in love with a bigger idiot.
part one of my view on the teen wolf character, 1/?

Love your wenclair fic! Your meta about Enid's character arc is also really good. It was great reading your thoughts, but I wish you'd go into more detail on the failed allegory of it all.
I just absolutely can not get over the sheer ridiculous failure of an idea that was "lycanthropy conversion camp". What were they thinking????? It doesn't work on any level at all. Apparently being a "late bloomer" is a common enough issue they run multiple camps for it? But if it's that common why is it so stigmatized??? The show never seems to come right out and say there are wolves who never fully shift, and Enid's claws point to her shifting eventually, so it becomes merely a matter of timing before the person "converts". That's a disgusting thing to have associated with the fucking torture of queer youth to force them to conform. And the attempt to cash in on lgbtq+ sympathy through this is just gross.
Ughhhh. I really loved Enid and Wednesday's characterization, some of the dialogue was spot on, but it really felt like whoever wrote the overarching plot had no idea what they were doing.
Thank you! I'm really happy with everything I've been doing in Risk Life, even though I still wish I was getting more done. DAMN YOU MENTAL HEALTH! *sigh* I am curious how much having three different directors for the show caused some of the issues with the arcs honestly. Tim Burton seems to push more for the idea of puberty early on, thus the term late bloomer at all and the idea of never finding a mate. A werewolf that never 'grows up' can never be a part of their society is what it feels like effectively. It also makes the claws kind of make sense because it's such a minor and small thing that it makes Enid feel like she's almost playing at being a big bad wolf when she's got her claws out. Then, when it changes directors on episode 5, that's when we start seeing more of the LGBTQ+ allegory. Unfortunately, the two just... don't mix. As much as I would love the reality to be different, this is the only story I've ever seen where coming out as gay or the like is how you are MORE accepted by your society which feels disingenuous to the experiences I mostly see from LGBTQ+ youth. A lot of people do find comfort in Enid's plotline though so if they do, I say more power to them. Also, the directors theory doesn't really explain everything since I think the writers don't change between episodes? I'm not as certain about that. Oh, and for anyone who doesn't know: Tim Burton directed the first four episodes, then the last four were split between two other directors who did two episodes each. As for the camp stuff, I'm still on the side of it just being... dumb. Especially since yeah, you're right, there's MULTIPLE camps for this? How large is the werewolf population then that you can run multiple of these? That multiple of them are possibly profitable? These are outcasts and rare divergences from 'normies', right? And yeah, as you said, it'd s SUBSET of that race that then needs to go to these camps. It's just... It's impressive how many levels of failure this is, not just on an allegorical level but a world building level. The one saving grace I'll give it is that the show doesn't take its fantasy elements seriously, for better and for worse. It's very much so there more for flavor than substance so it makes a general audience less likely to care about the actual world building. And for some stuff that's fine. For something directly correlating to real life atrocities done to the LGBTQ+... Less okay. That's why from a general writing standpoint I'll give it a sigh and a roll of my eyes but as allegory, I still growl and hiss. I also want to shout out though one theory a friend of mine had for the camps. It's that you get thrown into the wilderness with nothing to survive with so it's wolf out or die. Not literally, as the people running the camp will save you but you're meant to be put in such a do or die situation that you do transform. How does that fit into anything allegorically? It... doesn't so it still doesn't work but at least from a fantasy perspective it explains what they are. It's more of an answer than we'll likely ever get from the show at this point.
And my final note for 'they didn't seem to know their overarching plot' is going to be to Crackstone. Not even how he's a hypocrite who only has power because of his staff. No, it's how we go from a show that has fairly light fantasy elements to "SHE PUT A BLOOD CURSE ON HIM, DOOMING HIS SOUL!" Lady, I think we have skipped about at least a whole season's worth of build up to this level of fantasy, thank you very much! When the fuck was this shit on the table!? But yeah, I could rant more but this is long enough as is and getting off topic. ^^; I'm happy you're enjoying Risk Life, Not Love so much and uh, I might have some original sapphics of mine being free in a few days so keep an eye out for that!

yes and i'm obsessed because yesterday i basically watched all of season 2, i'm only 2 episodes away of the ending and i just NEED to know what happens next. it's a really great show, thanks for the recomendation <3
YES I KNOW ABOUT THE MOVIE I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT, i want to watch it with my friends when it comes out because they are big fans, so i'm trying to watch everything really fast. and about the spoiler, i think i know what it is because my friends hate me and told me about that one character who dies so yeah and i've seen that she came back
i do like scott a lot too, i think he's so cute and kinda dorky?? i don't know, the way he literally gets so dumb around allison it's so adorable, he's really cute and i agree that he's genuinely a good guy. he's trying to save the town because he cares, not because he's somehow responsible. so far i'm liking season 2 better than season 1!!
and yes i LOVE allison, she was my favorite but lydia just stole my heart she's THE CUTEST and i love her sooooo much, also love her friendship with allison, even though sometimes i feel like she gets a little excluded but i get it, she doesn't know about the whole werewolf thing, but she's in a moment where she really needs help and no one seems to notice?? i just want to help her 😭😭😭😭
i've never thought about scott x isaac but now i definetly WILL pay attention to they, i feel like they would work really well. AND I LOVE STYDIA i love stiles so much and lydia is my baby so they're MY FAVORITE COUPLE, but i think i understand why stiles annoys you

YESSSS it's just so good!! omg i'm so glad you like it. season two is also so fun bc of the dynamic between derek's edgelord pack and scott's normal pack just existing. i mean, the scene where isaac rolls up to the lacrosse game and scott's like "you're here to help?" and he just does that smirk thing and is like "i'm here to win"???? POETIC CINEMA
it's a comfort show i cannot make the rules but i do enforce them. i do love stydia though because it's just such a cute ship?? the whole trope with the guy falling first is one of my faves and it's done so well in teen wolf.
basically, <3333
