Watching RTGame play Hi-Fi Rush, I honestly forgot that Roquefort had a wolf form. I fucking love wolf men (wolves that are men, not men that are wolves, there a difference).
What I’m trying to say is that I wish I were Chai in this screenshot

Being approachable?
there are some wolf men in my area and i want to interact with them and become their friends, i believe there is a lot i can learn from them.
only problem is they are hesitant to come near me, i encountered one in the woods once but it was out of view and a time after than one of them followed me home cause i saw it very briefly in my garden.
i want to know if there is a way to make myself more approachable to them, like using a spell or a specific scent or something that would help ease their nerves so they will come near me.
understand that they are a very cautious people and want to protect themselves but i truly feel as though i’m meant to meet them.
any help would be much appreciated, be it helping me devise a spell for this or just letting me know useful information that would help me get closer
Puppy Blues
*I posted this piece as a drabble months ago, but I somewhat revised it as a oneshot. This is part of my collection of oneshots for my muses as part of their official story*
Oneshot summary: Lucas is bemused by his restless thoughts while walking about his neighborhood way past midnight, and unexpectedly stumbles upon a dilemma that leaves him stuck in a bind.
Lucas Face Claim: Luke James
Rating: PG- 13
A cool breeze whisked pass the form of a preoccupied wolf who strolled through the neighborhood, hushed footsteps of his adidas slides walking with an air of silent mediation along the concrete pavement, clad in nothing but a thin, white wife beater that tightly hugged his torso, and down below were black sweatpants where both hands nestled themselves comfortably inside the small space of his pants pockets. The posture he bore was almost downcast, showcases a weary demeanor unusual to observe from a man who always – as far as the public eye and associates was concerned - suffuse merriment in every waking hour, but now a dispirited essence had interweaved through his psyche that constantly claws at his beastly spirit. Lucas’s head stayed low, inky eyes flitting back and forth between the dirty ground and up ahead to find no people within vicinity of him, but his normally sharp and ever sensitive ears drained out whirring engines from vehicles that roamed the shadowed streets, a few which drove in passing with the radio blaring out music through lowered windows, surprisingly doesn’t evoke a response of curiosity within him to wonder which artist sung a particular song.
The sun had hours ago dipped below the horizon, in its place where the glowing orb once hung on a higher plane, a full moon had arisen from another long journey with purpose to pursue the invisible trail of the bright star, illuminating this corner of the earth with its cool, lambency luster only wolves of the night sung praises to in high regard for Luna’s gentle presence when her light graced their earthy land. But artificial lights consumed areas of a large city that partially obstructs the good brilliance of the moons natural luminosity from full exposure, and stars above whose faraway light declares evidence of its uncharted heavenly existence, forever dangles suspended within the infinite dark reaches of the cosmos, their ethereal quality but an unjust stroke of contrast against the manufactured radiance fainting out the visible celestial bodies that seems to disappear from view, as if the darkness in space swallowed them whole. But traces of weak twinkles, however, could faintly be seen from a distance when Lucas, always an inquisitive soul, focused his sights up above for a brief moment to take in their holiness.

Werewolf Fact #49 - The Werewolves of Ossory
Gasp! We’re only one fact away from hitting the big 5-0. Amazing. I even plan to actually answer my ask backlog soon (sorry about that!).
So this week I have a personal favorite story for you. I reference werewolf stories a lot, but I don’t actually tell them in detail very often. Well, it’s high time I went into detail about one other than just Lycaon, which is an important one but definitely not one of my favorites...
Some of this might sound pretty similar to the Arcadians and some of their stories, but here’s a fun twist...
Firstly, this story comes from Topographia Hibernica, written by Giraldus Cambrensis (c. 1146-1223), also called Gerald of Wales. To pull his little bio from page ix of Charlotte F. Otten’s A Lycanthropy Reader...
Welsh cleric, Chaplain to Henry II. He wrote voluminously, filling his histories and travel writing with legends, natural history, and lively anecdotes.
In this story, a monk was going through some woods with a group of fellow travelers. Suddenly, a large wolf appeared and beseeched the monk for help. He spoke well, was humble, and displayed excellent manners.
The monk was, of course, very freaked out, but the wolf asked him to help his companion. The monk follows him back to said companion, who turns out to be a wolf who is sick and, according to many versions, on the verge of death.
The second wolf removes her wolf form (”using his claw as a hand”), and reveals she is an old lady.
The monk is even more freaked out, but the werewolves explain that they are from Ossory, a place where they were turned into wolves as - essentially - a trial, much like in Arcadia. A man and a woman from their land takes the form of a wolf once every seven years. This was supposedly because they were descendants of an Irish warrior, Laignech Fáelad, ancestor of the kings of Ossory. He was the first of his kind to assume the shape of a wolf and go “wolfing,” and his people followed after him. So there are lots of Irish werewolves out there, and the people of Ossory are just one example - and this is only one of their stories.
Anyway, after the monk provides the old lady her last rites, the werewolves thank him, she returns to werewolf form, and the first werewolf says he will watch over the monk and his friends for the duration of the night (again: werewolves as protectors).
In the morning, they are perfectly safe, and the werewolf is still there. He tells them where to go, takes them to the road, and sends them on their way. Giraldus ends the story with a contemplation on, essentially, if people turned into animals and animal-people are intelligent and civilized, does that make them beasts or monsters? His answer is no, it does not, and to kill one would be the same as killing any other person - and that, of course, would be wrong.
There are lots of different versions of the story as a result of translations and other copies and the like, so one you find might be different from another.
Please note, however, that there is a lot of false information flying around about the werewolves of Ossory legends. Be careful what you read and always, always check your sources for good primary material, even if you have to dig through a lot of sources to find the root one! (checking for primary sources is very important, like if you still think the “Wulver” tumblr meme is an actual legend)
So what does this mean, in terms of literary examination? When we have everybody trying to tell us Christians saw werewolves as Satanic?
Well, they didn’t always. In fact, it was pretty frequently that they didn’t - especially before the Early Modern and/or Renaissance period, which is when things really started to change.
There was a valley of difference between witches and their demonic sorcery and other things - and not all witch trials should be treated as “werewolves” if the person in question just happened to turn into a wolf (case in point, Peter Stubbe). It was important to recognize the difference - and that’s a moral of the story: Don’t assume something is evil just by its form.
After all, one can’t be a good person if they would treat someone who turns into a wolf or wolf-man - or who is turned into a wolf or wolf-man - crappy just because they don’t like the way they look. Now can they? And that, of course, is a metaphor for a whole lot of other things.
So be nice to werewolves! They’re people, too, just like the rest of us.
