lololol, my bf and i are on a little trip for our 13th anniversary and we booked an airbnb studio cottage, and the listing failed to capture the fact that the bathroom is not a bathroom. not in the room sense. it is, essentially, a stall. it has no ceiling. which is just way more intimacy than I needed for this weekend. or ever. in my entire life.
It’s always weird finding my old art folder. Funny thing is I didn’t know I was any good at doodling until my 20s, when suddenly I found out I was actually pretty good with a coloured pencil.
This was one of my first attempts at a drawing done entirely with coloured pencil on black card. To say I was shocked when it came out reasonably well is an understatement.
Is there going to be a part three of friend or foe or is that story just dead?
eh heh heh…welllllll…
I mean I could throw @arc852 under the bus by asking her what she thinks, considering it’s a team effort, but uh…yeah. It’s probably dead.
Anyways since It’s probably dead you’re welcome to read the notes we had for where the rest of the story was going because I feel bad and also I think they’re funny:
The werewolf dude and the leprechaun
Arc852: so, do we want to start right where we left off?
or timeskip a bit?
Hidden Dreamer: well let’s figure out where we want to go with the story first and then decide
Arc852: true
Hidden Dreamer: k one sec i’m skimming it to remind myself
k done
Arc852: ok, so we should definitely have Thomas and maybe other pack members come and talk to him
Hidden Dreamer: yes. should they come to his home? Because i was thinking he meets with them at night
Arc852: That could work and maybe they smell jack’s scent on Mark or something?
Hidden Dreamer: also, i had this idea that jack tries to leave but mark insists he can’t, and then reveals that a full moon lasts like three to four nights so jack can’t leave until the full moon is truly gone for safety (but by that point jack will probably decide to live with him anyways)
Arc852: oooo, nice. I like it
so how much do we wanna do for part 2
Hidden Dreamer: So thoughts on the pack: i was thinking they lecture him on his behavior and kick him out of the pack for the night for being so selfish or something. Thomas thinks this is a harsh punishment and comes to talk to mark the next day, only to smell/see jack and realize mark just rescued the guy and didn’t eat him. then the pack is really furious (because mark does this sort of thing all the time) and says that either mark needs to eat/kill jack or he’s out of the pack for good
Arc852: I love it
Hidden Dreamer: uh no idea for part 2. probably shorter than part 1 but it should still be long?
oh thank you
Arc852: They’ll be in there wolf forms at night right?
Hidden Dreamer: we could maybe go through the day today, mark getting kicked out for the night, and either end there or end with thomas at the door? or we could go really long and go until thomas finds jack and makes the threats and such
yeah wolf forms at night, i was thinking no verbal communication while wolves
but the pack would meet in the woods in human form and yell at mark before they transform
Arc852: so basically jack will have to spend the entire night with a wolf mark
Hidden Dreamer: yeah. a dissapointed, disgruntled wolf mark. “Oh, you’re back early.” (low growl)
oh but mark would still have to eat at night and a lot during the day, so…
Arc852: and jack still isn’t used to mark let alone his wolf form
Hidden Dreamer: yeah!
Arc852: ok, so do you wanna start or should I?
Hidden Dreamer: I don’t really have anything to start with, so you can
Arc852: k
Hidden Dreamer: btw i’m making a handy-dandy note page for this story too
Arc852: Thanks! we probably need it
.
New day and all that jazz
Arc852: not sure, I mean, it could be interesting if we added some of them in?
should jack find something?
Hidden Dreamer: what?
Arc852: I don’t know
Hidden Dreamer: sure
Arc852: but then what?
something that triggers angst?
Hidden Dreamer: yeah i gotcha
what about claw marks?
Arc852: interesting
like, on the couch?
Hidden Dreamer: yeah, scratched up from his wolf times
Arc852: Oh! how about really low on the couch, so it kind of looks like he was trying to get to something underneath?
Hidden Dreamer: yeah!
what are those about? What creature should he have been chasing?
Arc852: maybe a mouse?
Hidden Dreamer: should he have been hunting it? Did he set it free? Did he eat it?
Arc852: okay let’s think about this
has mark always been this way or did he eat prey before?
for most angst, we could say he ate the mouse
Hidden Dreamer: I was thinking that a wolf has probably eaten some creatures before. And He still does eat meat, so now he might just not kill prey himself (but like eats dead prey)
Yeah he totally ate the mouse.
Arc852: yeah, I agree
Hidden Dreamer: But did he feel bad about it? were there more mice in his house? Did the pack put the mouse in his house to force him to hunt it down?
Arc852: maybe that was the start of him feeling bad?
Also (even if he doesn’t eat prey anymore) he probably sees jack a little differently anyway, considering how human he looks.
Hidden Dreamer: yeah exactly
also would there be blood stains still somewhere?
Arc852: I feel like no, cause I’m guessing he just ate it in one gulp
Hidden Dreamer: I don’t think that’s how wolves eat
but sure
Arc852: well, I mean…true
maybe he cleaned the blood then
Hidden Dreamer: we just won’t dwell on it
Arc852: probably for the best
Hidden Dreamer: so he clawed under the couch, got the rodent out, ate it. Then, next morning he sees the mess as a human and feels sick and starts to not hunt prey as much
Arc852: yeah, cause maybe he’s never had to see the aftermath of it as a human?
