Werewolves who reject anthropocentric identities; who are neither wolf nor human, who see the beauty and power in being both or neither.
Werewolves with pawprint stickers on their cars and tattoos on their wrists, werewolves who are proud of who and what they are, despite what theyâve been told for generations
LGBTQIA+ werewolves who eschew traditional ideas of gender and sexuality, who craft their own identities with hackles raised and teeth bared; trans werewolves who know that skin is only skin, that what is within can withstand transformations of all sorts and remain authentic; werewolves who have different partners in different forms; werewolves in loving, polyamorous packs
Werewolves exploring their spirituality: werewolves who find their homes in churches and cathedrals, who believe that all sins can be forgiven; werewolves who find Loki, the wolf-sire, god of boundary-crossers, singing in their blood; werewolves who find their own gods in the wilderness; werewolves who search and search and find no gods at all.Â
Werewolves who fiercely, adamantly reject the idea that they must be âgoodâ monsters to deserve a place in this world, who are frightening and violent and feral and refuse to apologize, who know that they are not obligated to make humans comfortable
Werewolves who become werewolf hunters, who see great power used for great evil and are called to stop it; werewolves who believe that every werewolf is family, who protect other werewolves at all costs; werewolves who hold themselves accountable for no oneâs sins but their own, and leave both the hunters and the guardians to their battles
Werewolves who are form-fluid, whose skin is as soft and supple as water, whose shadows are mismatched, whose shape you canât quite distinguish when you catch them in the corner of your eye
Werewolves who shake and suffer and scream through each transformation, who find ecstasy and escape on the other side, who leave human thoughts and cares in human skin and never look back
Werewolves who see their wolf form as something outside of themselves, something primal or transcendent; werewolves who see their wolf form as their real body; werewolves who see their wolf form as just another shape the unchanging inner-self can take
Werewolves protesting for animal rights; werewolves eating vegan when theyâre human-shaped; werewolves freeing dogs from testing facilities and sabotaging factory farms because they know that sentience is not just a human trait
Werewolves eating as much meat as they please and feeling no guilt, because they know that nature is soaked in blood and caressed by death, because they are predators in every form
Young werewolves with human parents: parents who fret over the full moon and donate to research for a cure; parents who learn âlycanthrope-inclusive languageâ and encourage their children to embrace every bit of who they are; parents who take one look at the thing that was their child and never look at them again.
Older werewolves with human families: mothers who let their children snuggle into their fur; packs who would kill for their memberâs human kids; sisters who introduce themselves to their siblingâs bully one full-moon night and know they wonât be bothered again
just give me more werewolves okay
