Making my first post in years to share a silly idea I wanted to share.
Scott fucked up. Scott really really fucked up. He finally snapped and BIT that Russian menace on ice. In his defense the full moon was yesterday and Rozanov was being incredibly grating. Luckily for him despite common belief you can’t actually turn a human into a werewolf by biting them. Only a werewolf parent can pass being a werewolf genes. This belief stems from the fact that werewolves will never shift unless bitten by another werewolf who can shift. This is typically done by a werewolf parent, guardian, or other such figure in a young werewolf’s life. There is typically a ceremony and a trusted mentor activates the dormant shifting genes/magic. So Scott shouldn’t have to worry about turning human Ilya Rozanov into a werewolf. However it seems his luck has run out because Irina Rozanova died before being able to guide her son through his first transformation.
Irina Rozanova left her youngest son a letter, a vial of werewolf venom/saliva, a needle, a tuft of fur, and a necklace to remember her by. Ilya only received one and the rest was burnt by his angry raging father before Ilya ever got to learn about the secret his mother passed onto him. Ilya Rozanov was therefore raised the same as his father and his brother: a human.
Scott Hunter lost his parents and first pack shortly after his first transformation. But he’s coping. He has his secret boyfriend and the very human admirals for a sense of belonging. He is FINE as long as you don’t consider the years of missing werewolf education. He made something of himself and he figured it out on his own.
Ilya Rozanov is losing his goddamn mind. Ever since that Jurassic park reject fucking BIT him he had felt itchy and restless and like he’s constantly in danger. It doesn’t help that despite being the one who bit him all Ilya can think about is wanting to be close to fossil. He has no idea why his senses are now cranked up to 120% all the time, why he’s craving raw meat like crazy, why he’s occasionally sounding like a distraught puppy, and especially why in his time of distress his maybe situationship maybe hookup hopeful boyfriend isn’t his first thought for comfort but his second.
Scott thinks either he’s misplaced something. Maybe that’s why he feels like something is missing to the point it’s greatly distressing and he’s being driven up the wall. Nevermind that quiet little voice in his head that sounds suspiciously like his werewolf self screaming “where is packmate? Where is pup? You lost him??? Bad sire! Bad bad bad den father! Worst werewolf!” The itch to see Rozanov in person is also confusing as hell.
Cliff Marlow is maybe starting to suspect something is wrong with his best friend and captain. He may be a dumbass but if the right person asks he may know a thing or two about being a werewolf. In retrospect he feels like an idiot not figuring out Roz as an unshifted wolf before he got bit by Hunter. Especially cause that’s his best friend and he’s been watching the kid for years since he first got drafted to the bears and unconsciously thinking of him as packmate. (I know in the books Marly is younger but I adore when he considers himself Ilya’s older brother). However nevermind all of this because marly is starting to realize he may need to explain some things to Rozy and he may need to take an impromptu trip to New York to either get answers from Hunter or deck his lights out for leaving someone who to any werewolf screams/smells like “sad scared abandoned pup.”
Neither Scott nor Ilya are particularly enthused about their new designation for each other as packmates. Ilya is especially displeased to learn that despite being a full adult man his wolf is left younger due to not starting transforming at an appropriate age. If he had a transformation ceremony when he was supposed to his wolf was supposed to grow up with him. Even more distressing is because Hunter didn’t reject him his wolf side craves to be near him for a sense of protection. The only comfort is at least seeing Hunter and Marly on friendly terms has let his stupid wolf brain recognize Marly as packmate and soothe the itch of feeling exposed without a packmate near.
Shane Hollander finds the situation hilarious. Well after the initial sock and maybe jealously due to confusion on why his hopeful boyfriend/situationship/it’s complicated suddenly craving this other guy’s company in his distress. Shane may be human and brand new to learning about this whole world but finds it hilarious that tough bad boy Ilya Rozanov now has a part time wolf puppy brain who just wants his wolf dad Scott Hunter sometimes.
Kip Grady had been cackling since a disheveled Cliff Marlow showed up at Scott and his door. Marly knows stalking and following someone home after work is bad but it’s exceedingly easy as a werewolf who has a best friend in all sorts of distress the past few days/weeks. But he’s upset, freaking out, and maybe a bit too hot headed to make the best decisions right now.
Other aspects/clarifications I imagined were:
Werewolves fully shift into wolves just a lot bigger.
It is the exchange of a parent’s venom/saliva into blood that activated dormant werewolfiness.
Werewolves shift for more than when the full moon is 100% visible so this encompasses a night or two before and after the “full moon night” because on those days the moons is like 90% or more invisible.
It is a mix of the right werewolf hormones building up in their system and the pull of the moon that causing werewolves to experience increased wolfiness around the full moon.
Additionally with practice werewolves can shift freely.
To Ilya’s absolute horror he menaces too close to the sun one day as a werewolf and Scott “I’m done with your bullshit” Hunter scruffs him to get him to chill the fuck out and he goes limp as wolf pup instinct takes over.
Scott and Ilya’s full integration into either a MHL or Marlow family pack and getting to experience having a werewolf support system again. If it’s the MHL one I imagine Scott wasn’t in it before cause he didn’t clock shit with the other players and hid his four legged monthly secret in the same box he hid his gayness.
Also if anyone would like to write anything about this or add onto it feel free and I would love to read/see it.
SPOILERS FOR DEADENDIA THE DIVINE ORDER. DO NOT READ PAST.
Maybe unpopular opinion but I don’t think I enjoyed Courtney’s design change in the epilogue. Like I understand why the had to do it with it being revealed the divine order was a cult not angels in that form wasn’t really how it had been but their design just looked empty. For me personally I think the design would have been massively improved and less jarring if they made their ears bigger instead of making them so tiny. I colored over a photo to show what I am talking about
Damn and I really all this time just thought dove (the soap people) had a meeting one day and were just like “…. we might fuck around and make some chocolate”
Finding out that Dove Soap and Dove Chocolates are different companies has the exact same energy as finding out that Michelin Tires and the Michelin Star Rating System (which rates the finest restaurants in the world) are actually the same company.
Hey, so the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is about to get a huge chunk of it sold for oil drilling. This will not only devastating the area being sold but the surrounding area. It will cause mass animal deaths pushing species further to gev brink of extinction. It will also pollute the area around it. If drastic action does not happen to this planet now, animals will go extinct, resources will become scarce, prices will sky rocket, and we will get sicker and sicker. This is an organization that as far as I know is trying to protest the destruction of this wildlife refuge www.protectthearctic.org/take-action/
Take action to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from energy development set to endanger pristine landscape, wildlife, and Indigen

I’ve seen people be like Zuko being freezing in the poles but I remember this is the guy that swam in polar water with clothes that were probably very heavy. Also he was good in a freezer. So what about Zuko being that one guy who’s annoyingly immune to the cold. Like everyone else is use like how are you NOT freezing (esp if he’s with other fire nation and he’s traveled to say the poles) and he’s just like what cold? Idk them. At first everyone is concerned like aw fuck is the fire lord gonna die if hypothermia, cause of the the severe symptoms is actually to stop feeling cold cause it’s your body giving up, and no he’s just LIKE THAT. It gives people a mini heart attack though
I can’t tell if uncle Iroh’s face is more of either “I raised your reckless teenage emo ass on a goddamn tiny ass rinky dink ship for three fucking years I raised you boy when your sperm donar dropped and burnt the ball and THAT’S what you choose to call me?” Or “seriously, you are supposed the future fire lord, our lives are dependent on use passing by without people realizing we are fire nation, when THAT’S how you lie? How are you still alive?”
