The lack of common sense in this situation should be alarming to the parents. These are thepeiple they’re trusting their children to
I was going to rewatch 1931 Dracula again tonight and just as I turned it on a BAT started flying around at my window and wouldn’t go away and I’ve never seen a bat at my house before and let me tell you I’ve been so gay touched starved this quarantine I was about ready to risk letting a wild bat in my room if it meant it could possibly be one tall, Sexy vampire
Ah rabies
But what if the bat was from my secret gay vampire admirer
Boring old werewolf instincts:
Sexual jealousy
Constant aggression
Rigid hierarchy
Must win sports
Homophobia And Sexism Is Normal™
Eat people
Cool new werewolf instincts:
There is no five second rule
Corvids are friends
Hang out as a pack
Karaoke
Gotta pee
Also consider:
Separation anxiety
Unconditional love and loyalty
Being able to sleep in almost any situation or position
Irresistible urge to chase squirrels and rabbits
Hating the vacuum cleaner
Wanting to do everything with friends
Loudly and repeatedly announcing to housemates that someone is at the door
Long, shouted conversations to other werewolves across the neighborhood (bonus points at 2am)
Taking advantage of any and all free food
Werewolf-vampire solidarity
Fighting any animal that trespasses into the backyard
Boundless energy
Too much energy
Eating out of the trash if it smells tasty
Being bad at sports because you don’t want to let anyone else take the ball from you. Then destroying the ball in front of everyone because you want to make a point
Trying to fight things 10x your size like a fucking idiot
Being unable to hold a grudge for more than a few hours
Trying to make people feel bad for you over mundane things that aren’t actually that bad. And somehow succeeding.
Snoring
Needing to try a bit of your friends’ food, even if you’ve tried it 5645674 times before and have never once liked it
Getting way too friendly with random strangers
Being in a love-hate relationship with water
Digging. For no reason.
Thinking you’re a badass despite being a hyperactive ball of emotions and hedonism
Loud sobbing while pressing yourself up against the sliding glass door at your friends who locked you out because they were tired of your bullshit and wanted some goddamn peace and quiet
Okay this one is a gem:
“ Loudly and repeatedly announcing to housemates that someone is at the door “
No alpha/beta/omega werewolves because science figured out LONG ago that that concept is, for wolves, incorrect.
@margoteve @followmetoyourdoom
So most of these are very dog oriented, which makes sense to me, since dogs are just wolves that have co-evolved with us for thousands and thousands of years BUT I wanted to add a few that are wild wolf based:
Multigenerational households!
Kids get really excited when someone comes home with groceries
“I can HELP put away the food!” “Oh, and have you whisk away the ice cream like last week? I’m fine, dear.”
Love to travel and follow food trends
Mostly very social and must have roommates/family/significant other/kids/friends around
However, not uncommon to travel alone for periods of time, especially after leaving home
Big friendly communal meals with lots of ritual around who gets served in what order
“Let grandma take her pick of the turkey first. It’s respectful, and she won’t take kindly to you cutting the line.”
Full pantries, stocking up on basics, the kind of people who always have extra oatmeal, or batteries, or a jump cable
Can hold conversations using body language and eye contact without saying a word
Cuddlers, especially with the social group
Yelling to get everyone to gather, and phone chains for anyone who lives further away
Lots of singing, the pack has a bunch of favorite songs that everyone knows by heart, and some may be song writers
“Can you smell this? Does this smell weird? Does this smell good?”
Lots of candles and incense with unusual scents
Passing houses and farms and land down through generations
Love home renovation
Communal child care and sometimes communal nursing
Kids are all really into wrestling and being outside
When someone is ready to leave the household, the younger they leave the further they tend to travel. Someone who leaves at 18 might go to another country, but someone who leaves at 26 might just move a town away.
Whether someone moves far or close to home, it’s not unusual to move back in at home a few times before settling down
“You know the futon is always open for you. Your cousins are in your old bedroom, but you’re always welcome!”
Kinda grumpy about neighbors pushing property boundaries
“Why do they have to let the damn mulberry tree hang over OUR driveway?”
Good endurance runners
Late walks at night, naps in the middle of the day
Really playful, especially with kids
Lots of rough housing and board game nights!
I’ve been looking for the one with the wolf-aspects added for a while and I found it again! Reblogging for A+ extra wolfy content!

“Do that laugh” 🤣💖
So, rewatching Leverage, and here is a thought:
None of the team’s heists, except a couple of very specific episodes, could ever really be pulled off with three people. The average con by the fine team at Leverage Incorporated has so many moving parts that they’ll often enough recruit even more somewhat-unwitting help from other people peripherally involved in the case. Having five people on a team lets them grift from multiple directions and still save somebody to work from the background, lets them come from multiple angles, and means they’ve usually got backup somewhere.
So I’m thinking about Parker, Elliot, and Hardison, post-S5, and what I’m thinking is, their problem won’t be a lack of skill. Sophie and then secondarily Nate are very much the primary grifters for the crew, but the trio have all got some solid-enough skill there. Their problem is going to be a lack of bodies.
They’ll try a couple of jobs just the three of them, I’m sure, but after the first or second time that somebody almost gets seriously hurt because Eliot is on the other side of the city doing what ordinarily would have been Sophie’s job, it’s very clear: they need help.
It doesn’t need to be a full partner on the team, of course. They can just add one or two people to be, like, employees for a bit. Probationary crew members. Parker’s all pleased about getting to boss people around. Eliot Does Not Trust these new people.
So obviously there’s a revolving door of one-off helpers for a while, but what I’m thinking actually happens is, a couple of months in, they’re working a job with yet another really annoying temp, and they discover halfway through that somebody else is working the mark from the opposite angle. Then they discover that it’s the mark’s fifteen-year-old adopted-for-publicity’s-sake foster kid and said foster kid’s seventeen-year-old sister.
Foster kid does not really enjoy being a poster child for the mark’s Goodness and Kindness Towards Humanity, but they do enjoy the cash. The two girls have been playing marks since they were eight and ten. The younger one has a great eye for details, quick fingers, and pulls off ‘sad unfortunate waif’ fantastically well. The older one fights like a back-alley street brawler who’s won every fight she’s ever taken on the dirty way, and reads people like only a grifter who’s been working since near-birth could. Before this job, this mark, it’s been a dozen different homes and schemes, mostly successful, in three different states. The hope is to rip the mark off for enough cash and prizes to flee the whole Pacific Northwest and set themselves up for good. However you do that. How do you do that?
Of course, Annoying Temp Of The Week almost blows everything and gets them all caught, and of course, upon realizing what’s up with these two teenage girls, Parker-Hardison-Elliot almost blow everything even harder, going in to save them–but then the girls in their cleverness and gratitude get in there and repay the favor by saving the whole con, taking the mark out, and getting everybody home free. Even the annoying temp of the week.
So once that guy’s been cut loose with his pay for the job and a ‘don’t call us–we’ll call you’, you get the trio upstairs from the brew pub, surveying these two teenage girls who just bailed them out of trouble and now have nowhere left to go but back into foster care.
“Now what are we going to do with you?” Hardison asks.
“You could keep us,” suggests the younger girl, as winningly as she can. Three professional thieves with this kind of sweet setup? Hell yeah.
“Uh, no, we can’t,” says Elliot.
“He’s right,” Parker agrees. “The kinds of jobs we pull are no place for amateurs.”
“That’s not what it looked like before,” points out the older kid. She means their temp. She’s absolutely right.
“No, what she means is, our lives are no kind of place for kids,” Elliot growls. He knows that’s not what Parker means, but it’s what he means. They need decent homes and a shot at a real, non-criminal life.
“How old were you when you started?” asks the older girl. “How did you know you were going to be thieves instead of doctors or lawyers or airline pilots?”
“We could take apprentices,” Parker muses, and that’s when Hardison and Elliot drag her back into a side room for a hurried discussion.
(The words child abuse and child endangerment get hissed around a lot. Parker, who blew up a house at age seven, does not really get it. She does however point out that Hardison was ripping off banks and infiltrating federal databases by the time he was sixteen.
“Yes, but I had a Nana who loved me and a safe place to live and a semi-normal experience in high school, Parker,” he points out. She shrugs.
“I had Archie,” she says. “He’s the only family I’ve got. If we try to send them to anywhere safe or normal, they’re just going to leave.”
“We could ask Nate and Sophie,” Elliot points out.
“Dude, Nate and Sophie just got rid of us, you think they want to go adopting a couple of teenage mini-thems?” Hardison asks. Elliot rolls his eyes.
“I meant for advice, not to–”
“If we send them away, they’re just going to keep doing the same things,” Parker says. “They’re going to steal, and cheat, and they’re going to get caught, because nobody ever cared enough to teach them the right way to do things. And they’re probably going to turn out selfish and mean, because that’s what happens to people who don’t spend time around good people. Especially thieves. They’re not going to be safe.”
“Oh, as opposed to our safe lives of ripping off multi-national corporations and the mob?” Elliot demands.
“Look,” Hardison says. “I’m not saying Parker’s right and I’m not saying we need them, but they did save our asses out there on this one. They’re good.”
Elliot groans. “Okay, we are setting some ground rules.”)
“Rule number one,” Elliot says to the girls, because he was elected most intimidating actual authority figure by a huge margin. “You go to school. Both of you. That means you enroll in high school and you actually show up. You do your homework. Friends, extracurriculars, all that. You start skipping classes, we will find out.”
“Rule number two, thief training,” Parker steps in. “I can train you like my mentor trained me. Hardison and Elliot can teach you other things. You work hard, you get better.”
“If you want to,” Elliot adds. “Nobody’s going to stop you if you decide you want to be a doctor or a lawyer or a professional violinist. We’ll help you get on that road too. And it’s okay to change your minds about it later.”
“We may use you on jobs,” Hardison says. “When we say you’re ready. And that means you listen to what we say out in the field, okay, all three of us, because we have a vested interest in keeping you alive and out of prison. Parker’s the boss but we all have a decade’s worth of experience on you, not to mention we’re the people who were out taking down multinational corporations and the Italian, Russian, Irish–which mobs am I missing, guys? Anyway, we were doing that while you was still in grade school.”
“That’s also something to keep in mind if you try to rip us off,” Elliot adds. “We overthrew a country. We will find you.”
“But you’re not going to try to rip us off,” says Parker. “Because you want this.” She knows them. They’re like her, like she was. And they are probably planning on how to rip Leverage off once they learn enough–but that’s okay. By that point, they won’t want to any more.
“We’ll work it out,” Elliot says. “Might be a little rough going while we figure out how this is going to go, but you’re making yourselves our responsibility now. We take those seriously.”
“So what do you say?” Hardison asks. “Are we sitting down and creating you two some shiny new identities and paperwork saying you belong here, or do you not want to see how to do that?”
“We’re in,” the older girl jumps in before Hardison even finishes his sentence. “We’ll do it.”
.
Basically I want all the shenanigans where the team accidentally adopts a couple of baby teenage thieves badly in need of guidance and tries to train them up right. Whatever that ends up meaning.
(None of them are actually sure.)
elliot “i’m the cool dad no really” spencer reacting to stories of their childhood by MAKING THEM SO MUCH SOUP, THE WORLD’S FINEST SOUP GODDAMMIT and then the younger kid is like “wow this tastes so much better than cold spaghettio’s from the can (sniffle)”
elliot just grits his teeth and looks up more recipes
parker has to eventually pull younger kid aside and be like “listen just tell him you like his cooking. same outcome, no fake-crying required, and you get a wider range of dishes”
oh my god one of them gets bullied at school and hardison’s trying to talk to them about their feelings while parker’s like “nah man it’s cool we just need an ELABORATE REVENGE PLOT”
at least once, some sort of minor teenage crisis happens and the leverage crew has to call maggie, all HELP YOU ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY REASONABLE ADULT WE KNOW, HOW DO YOU PARENT
hardison insisting the girls need some sort of hobby outside of con-adjacent activities and then being super super supportive of their dance squad or basketball team or whatever
maybe the basketball team coach is actually kind of mean and elliot has NO CHOICE but to take over
older girl: “why do i NEED to learn physics anyway” parker: “how else are you gonna calculate the best angle to jump off a buil—” (remembers they’re in public) “i mean. career…things. for jobs.”
younger girl: “driver’s ed is pointless; i’ve been hotwiring cars since i was thirteen” hardison: (sigh) “look, if you attend the classes and log all your hours then elliot’ll teach you some evasive driving maneuvers”
(dammit hardison)
the leverage crew confusing the hell out of the pta and the school administration because like. why are there three people at every parent-teacher conference? what’s the situation here? two gay-married dads and a bio mom? a mom, her ex-husband and her new boyfriend? some sort of scandalous poly set-up? “we’re their family” says parker, blinking, like it’s obvious.
this site has one setting
I’m laughing, but there’s a super useful corollary, which my husband calls “the Red Balloon.” He was a defense lawyer and had a fair number of drug addicts come through, and there is a thing where if you’re like, on your first offense, they’ll do a thing where you can go to treatment and if you complete it they’ll take the conviction off your record. And he would tell his clients, “Look, everyone’s going to tell you not to do drugs. They’re going to say it over and over again. And it’s like, if people tell you not to think of a white elephant, you’re going to think of a white elephant. But the trick to not thinking about a white elephant is to think of a red balloon. So you need to find your red balloon. For some people it’s yoga. For others it’s woodworking. For some people it’s scrapbooking or gardening or any of a long list of things to do. They focus on that, it’s a lot easier to succeed in ignoring the white elephant.” So yeah, “watch yourself” is one thing… but the better idea is to watch something else. (Even if it’s fanfic about werewolves fucking.)
It’s a form of productive dissociation, and is super, super helpful. It’s easy for me to get bogged down in how much pain I’m in… but some of the most painful periods of my life have also been the most productive, writing-wise, because writing is one of my red balloons.
