answering an ask from @coyoteworks under a readmore because it's mildly spoilery for said the black horse :)

Coyoteworks asks: ive been sitting on this one for a while because its so in my head.. i really like how you write the werewolves in mvf. it really taps into my love for examinations of human and animal behavior, because as much as i love when a character goes 'berserk' in some way like a werewolf or monster transformation of any kind, i often feel like the execution of it being a result of a well of hidden evil is a bit too 'easy'... when bowman first turned i genuinely sat forward because i was so fascinated & delighted by his behaviors. the idea that these werewolves, with their reputation for being cruel and vicious, known for having the intelligence of man and the bloodthirst of a predator animal... arent actually all that vicious the first time they turn... it's just a really lovely take on what our "base" instincts actually are, and that cruelty is a learned/taught trait rather than an inherent one... same goes for jean's first transformation, and his fear, and bowman willingly turning to ease that fear and communicate as wolves... aughhg i just love it so much... the boys are playinggggggg

Answer:

I have to confess to being a little bit spiteful when I formulated those werewolf portrayals... I find that the idea of what a werewolf IS has been turned into almost a fandom in the sense that if you go against their established rules, it's decried as not REALLY a werewolf or a dilution of werewolves etc. And I find that really interesting; once I saw an entire rec list of werewolf media by a fan of werewolves who was deeply dismissive and disgusted by works which didn't have the werewolf being a rampaging beast every full moon because, to them, that was the whole point of a werewolf. To not have it be that way would be like making a vampire that doesn't drink blood. The narrative is that it's always about the fear of some primal bestial anger or energy inside oneself and that this is a struggle of man vs evil primal nature.

But it also strays close to something i also don't like about a lot of 'fae' tropes which is that it becomes played out, tired, predictable, and let's all be so honest with ourselves a lot of werewolves are the way they are because the writers find it hot as well in the same way vampires are hot - some kind of surrender to a raw bestial nature (often extremely masculine.. u can't tell me there's no reason ppl keep making lumberjack werewolves). it's part of a power fantasy when approached from that angle, the fantasy of being dominated/being dominating

So those are the metaphorical seeds inside most werewolf portrayals in media. To me, I was interested more in the former stuff than the latter, but the latter interests me too. 'Man vs evil wild nature' is a common theme in fairy stories as well, with wild spaces representing a threat. On the one hand I did want to subvert an expectation, but it's also part of a long-running main plot point in the series which will become obvious soon (sorry). For the werewolves, what they represent isn't the fear of the animal inside (a human is already an animal) but just the space to be the animal that you already are. I also want to refute the evil wild nature thing too - animals don't rampage about for no reason, there's no evil inherent inside a wolf. There's no mindless violence or attacking - the werewolf rampaging on the first full moon in Inver is doing it because they are frightened. It's not a harmless animal by any means and you still need to avoid provoking it, but it has no malicious intent.

The playing scene was really important to me also as a pivotal point in Bowman's arc but also Jean's and the book in general. If we're going to look at a werewolf as an externalisation of baser nature or a glimpse into what might go on inside the soul of a person (such as any exists), why is it necessarily violent... in Jean's own words, he often wanted to play with Bowman when he was younger, but could never bring himself to approach due to the constraints of society around him. playing is more fundamental to animals (both canine and human) than being a scary monster. so in this version of monstrosity, the monster is unbound from societal convention, finally free to play

Also wanted it to be quite clear that the avatars do not rampage without reason, either; they're scared, too.

For Future Reference!

Trying to be more active in promoting myself (scary) so here's a quick way to get between all of my stuff under the cut!

Full Image of my profile picture for Flavor. Also so I can shout out my good friend and partner in crime @coyoteworks for making this incredible commission of post-timeskip Sora for me and also for being cool. You should go follow them. Anyways on to the shameless self-plugging

My best of Ao3!

My latest work and current WIP is To These Hands Entrust The Crown, a post s5 Lego Monkie Kid continuation with plenty of sunburst duo and lots and lots of MK getting into trouble. Still fairly new, I have lots planned for this one, and I'll be doing my best to keep up with weekly updates, usually around Friday!

My previous WIP is To Be Or Not To Be (Human with You), a Genshin Impact fic following Aether and the Wanderer immediately after the Wanderer reclaims his memories as Scaramouche. Currently on hiatus, but not abandoned!

There is also a LOT of my old writing for the KH fandom archived on here, most of which is from right around the original release of KH3 in 2019, and a bit rough around the edges considering how old it is. If you read any of these, I recommend Wholehearted- it's a complete rewrite of the Darkqua fight, and one of my favorites of all those old works. I completely edited it from the ground up last year, so it's a bit easier to read than the OLD old stuff.

Other Social Media

I no longer use twitter, but I've decided to leave my account up so I have a way to find the art that people have made for me, mostly for my genshin fic. You can find me here:

I've made the switch to Bluesky, and plan to be WAY more active on there, especially if people want to hear me ramble about the writing process and get notified when I update my WIPs. Find that here!

And I am active on discord as well, but unless and until I suddenly explode in popularity and have reason to make a server, I don't think I'll be handing that out. But you can always feel free to DM me if you want to talk more about lmk, ffxiv, genshin, or my writing process! I'm always happy to make new friends.

last song: alright well legally the last song i listened to was "quest man" by "by release" but i didn't finish it. it was in my discover weekly and i think it's about being a little runescape guy completing quests which is funny. but again i haven't finished it. the last song that i knew was rasputin. ive been on a rasputin kick lately i fucking love rasputin.

last book: oh god am i going to be annoying and have two answers for all of these? manga-wise im reading through yotsuba im on vol 12 it's very cute. "real book"-wise (i.e no pictures) is. um. "A Pickle For The Knowing Ones - Plain Truths in a Homespun Dress" by sir timothy dexter... it's.... well. um. ummm. uhm. So true! Uhhuh! You should definitely read it. And then go read timothy dexter's wikipedia page. Smile.

last movie: lego movie 2: the second part!!! i rewatched both 1 and 2 recently i adore the animation so damn much. and it's been such a long time i forgot most of the jokes so it almost felt like watching it for the first time again. maybe i'll rewatch lego batman next.

last game: mmmmminecraft? minecraft. yeah probably minecraft. not much else to say! it's minecraft.

last tv show: oh god damn it i have to talk about the legend of nezha now huh? to be clear i'm not talking about the actual deity nezha im talking about an awful cartoon retelling of nezha's story from 2003. it was very hard to watch the first episode of it and i only watched it for my anime review project to where i watch one episode of an anime for every season (two anime per season). i had a fucking HEADACHE after i watched it too. I HATE THAT STUPID EVIL ADVISOR CHARACTER HE'S STUPID AND ANNOYING AND I HOPE HE FALLS OFF A CLIFF!!!!!!!!!!

FUCK THIS GUY I HATE THIS GUY!!!!!!

sweet/spicy/savory: i'm honestly more into the salty side of things but between these three i have to go with sweet just because that's probably my number 2 taste. i like savory but it HAS to be in moderation otherwise i feel like i might have a heart attack.

fave color: huge pink/yellow color combination fan FOREVER. i also like rainbows. i also like complementary color pairs (red/green blue/orange yellow/purple)

last internet search: "what is a plus 44 number" because i got a weird spam text and i was curious where in the world it was actually coming from. United Kingdom!
