🧍‍♀️ I-

Yesterday, in my post, where I talked about labels n what not I mentioned that there's still something to research, because I have a stree stage transformation and not just two and about where my biological father comes from and if there are werewolf mythologies... I'm telling you I'm onto something again-

So... My bio. father is a Kurd, so he comes from Turkey... I honestly didn't know wolves play such a big role there. It's even the national animal of the country. The mythical wolves there seem to be- just as Faoladh's - very helpful, protecting, and guide people to the right paths and help home, if people got lost... (and just like wulvers they seem to be very smart and good on the battlefield)

The most common story that google showed me, was the story of Asena, a she-wolf that found a lost boy and nursed him until he was strong enough to take care of himself again. The boy eventually impregnates the she-wolf and she gave birth to 10 hybrid boys that are half human, half wolf.

I also found the term Erbörü which describes a creature similar to a werewolf. "It's a folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being cursed"

... Isn't that interesting? So there are in fact 3 stage transformations.

Now don't get me wrong, I still think I rather belong to the Faoladh's, simply because my soul already knew everything about it without me realizing or ever reaserching it (as with the otherworld) BUT this research right here, might be the explanation of why I have 3 transformation steps.

So yea... that was- very interesting, and I think I'll keep on reading about it every now and then!

The Rougarou (original French loup-garou) is a familiar legend throughout French Louisiana. There are many variations, but the story generally involves a person who gets cursed, and becomes a flesh eating werewolf (or, occasionally, some other type of were-creature). Frequently the curse can be passed to another individual by biting them or draining their blood.

"You'll find yourself a beast without name or direction,"

I wanted to draw myself a new desktop background with my story's main character, Bleddyn. He's been cursed into Ci Annwn werewolf which is fitting punishment for a man with identity issues. Cwn Annwn are characterized by their white coats and red ears/eyes. They're the hunting dogs of the Otherworld in Welsh mythology.

The symbol in the bottom right is the Ogham sigil for Elder Tree. Elder trees are meant to represent transformation, cycles, and rebirth.

The waning crescent moon is a symbol of endings as this is the end of Bleddyn's former life as a princess.

There are things all around you in the world, trying to survive, that you'll never get a chance to notice.

There's a werewolf in the café that you always go to, working on his laptop. It's already far enough into the lunar cycle so that he's becoming semi wolflike at night. He'll spend to weekend upstate this month when the full moon finally hits, like he always does. He tells himself it'll be nice to get the fresh air, and he's glad he's privileged enough to not end up hurting anyone. You just think of him as taking business trips every month.

There's a ghost whose possessing a human body for the first time in a long time, standing on the subway platform with some of her living freinds. She's laughing about how weird it is to walk around as a person, and slightly nervously commenting on how there's plastic in this body's blood. This is her first time she's possessing a male body, and the awkwardness of it has given way to a strange fascination and euphoria as to how it feels compared to her body when she was alive, she likes how people look at her, and how handsome she feels.

There's a goblin whose been stealing food from that deli that you always go to, and petting the cat every time he get a chance to. He lives in subway tunnels, because it's safer to dodge trains then dodge the eyes of humans. The world is a much bigger place to someone so small, and the streets and buildings weren't built for him, and neither were the trees or animals. He wakes up every day hoping to survive, in a world where humans are giants that stalk the streets, and where scaring someone is a crime that may cost him his life. He prays he won't die for the crime of being small, or the crime of being ugly.

There's a vampire on your college campus, trying to still have a normal life after being turned. She knows everything from her human life will be gone in a hundred years, it was supposed to be gone the momment she was bitten but she tries to make it so she can still keep moving forward. Her body lacks so much that it used to, she doesn't sleep, doesn't desire sex, doesn't eat, but she's still a person, who can talk to her freinds, and still go to classes like she used to. She'll survive like this as long as her family is supportive enough to let her stay in their apartment, and as long as her girlfriend let's her drink blood from her hand, as if she was handfeeding an animal. And for awhile it'll be like she's still a person.

There's a demon on the sidewalk near your campus, standing right near the subway station, whose having to focus their energy on a spell that makes them look human, knowing their true form would terrify the humans around them. They're walking every street so excited, so amazing by the city around them, by the world around them, the glistening towers, the people outside talking, the sky that's so very blue. It's all so mundane to the humans around them, but to a demon, who was told they never deserved any of it, that they'd never see anything but the underworld, it's the most amazing thing possible. And the world is so pretty, so hopeful, through their doomed eyes.

ClassicsTober23 4: Lycaon

King Lycaon’s disastrous testing of the gods by feeding them human flesh led to the flood of destruction (Deucalion’s story) caused Lycaon to be turned into a wolf, prompting later stories of the ‘versipellis’ or skinchanger/werewolf. So here he is, an original drawing, post-transformation, inspired by a Black-figure pottery style from Etruria.

Modern Media: Werewolves are alpha chad dudes who play sports disrespect women and are incredibly sexually aggressive.

Me: Werewolves live in complicated multi-generational family groups usually governed by the oldest members. There’s a powerful sense of community and everyone is provided with a support system to accommodate their personal needs. Inter-pack relationships are also complicated since werewolves are long lived and tend to hold grudges, but are united by a joint purpose in surviving in a human world. Raising children is also a communal effort and packs will generally jump at the chance to adopt orphaned werewolves. Werewolves also have a long-standing symbiotic relationship with wereravens, just like regular wolves and ravens do.
