hellsing werewolves fanlore
- unlike vampires, there are no conditions (such as virginity or gender) to turning someone into a werewolf
- the bite scars very slowly, and permanently stays a dark red mark instead of the usual skin-like tone
- the bite is terribly painful, but the curse can be avoided if the bitten body part is cut off with a silver blade before the transformation process starts
- the reason they’re so rare when the curse is so easily transmitted is because most people die during the transformation process; it can take over a week of excruciating pain for the body to fully adapt, during which the signature abilities are gained; however if the person is weak or sickly, they will most likely die because of the sudden changes
- the newly turned person will be bedridden for up to two weeks during the transformation, during which their hunger and mental state will go out of control without enough willpower
- the person stops aging once they’ve gotten a taste of their first human flesh
- the instincts change during the process ; for a person to stay "themselves" during and after it they have to have an undying human spirit
- the size of the wolf form varies from person to person
- the full moon is only a power boost
- holy items are no use against them, but silver is deadly and scars them permanently
- physical traits that change after the transformation include : body pilosity, teeth shape, eye color and iris shape, ear shape, fat/muscle mass
- human meat is more nutritious to them, if they don’t eat it enough they can become weaker
- silver through the heart is the one true way to kill a werewolf; a shot to the head will slow it down tremendously, but its body will heal slowly if not properly disposed of (one knows the werewolf died for sure if they erupt in blue flames like vampires and other undead do in the series)

Okay so I’m tired and bitchy and I’ve had a rough morning, and because of that I’m probably about to drop an unpopular opinion here, but I really dont care.
Narcissist is starting to become the new sociopath/psychopath/psycho, and I am really, really concerned with where this is heading.
It’s the exact same thing I’ve been seeing for years with my own diagnosis. You say you’re a sociopath, and immediately you’re now an asshole. I’ve had people actually ask me if I have ever hurt someone/wanted to hurt someone because I’m a sociopath, and I’ve had to explain over and over again that no, that’s not what that means, it just means empathy is not something that I can experience like everyone else. I can still be compassionate, I can still be a kind person, I can have no desire to hurt anyone ever, but I still get treated like a ticking time bomb. Even though my disorder actually helps me in a job that saves lives (I work in tissue donation, so not feeling empathy makes handling donor tissue from a 15 year old a lot easier), I still get asked by people at that same job about my “secret dark side” and if I ever did/do things like torture animals.
The same thing is happening to narcissists. You say you’re a narcissist, and now suddenly you’re an abuser. You want to paint someone as a bad person? Call them a narcissist, then everyone will understand how mean and evil they are. I am so sick and tired of seeing tiktoks, tweets, and Tumblr posts going on and on about how horrible narcissists are and how much people hate them. As if narcissists aren’t people! As if narcissists aren’t people experiencing a personality disorder! Y'all are all about “neurodivergent/mental illness solidarity uwu” until you bring in the “undesirable” mental illnesses and personality disorders, and then suddenly it’s “All x people are mean and evil and abusive blah blah blah they can’t get better/better themselves blah blah blah here’s how to argue with them except I’m not going to actually talk about that I’m actually going to just say how horrible they are and how they’re bad people blah blah blah” and it’s like shut up! Shut the fuck up! Those are people! Those are real people with real feelings and you’re just out here saying they’re inherently bad, and for what? For likes? For clout? Do you have any idea how hard it is to come to terms with a diagnosis like that when your view on it is so incredibly skewed, when you think you’re being assigned the Bad Person Disease™️ after you’ve tried so hard to be a kind person and uplift those around you? And now you’re left thinking it was all for nothing, because now you can never be a good person no matter how hard you try because you have Bad Person Disease? Do you have literally any idea how damaging that is, and how much that hurts? But hey, ableism isn’t ableism when it’s against the “bad” people, right?
Anyway, if you’re a sociopath, psychopath, narcissist, have bpd, are bipolar in the “wrong” way, are schizophrenic or psychotic, are the “wrong” type of autistic, or anything else, I see you and you’re doing amazing. Your diagnosis doesn’t dictate who you are and, even though some things are harder for us than they are for others, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

I was tagged for this by a dear friend of mine, and so I wanted to nominate another very close friend, @v01dv0r3! ❤️ It took me way too long to get back to this, but...
Total number of completed works: Only one, unfortunately, it was a oneshot for Hellsing, if oneshots count as completed works. Part of my New Year's resolutions was to try and post more frequently and to finish Phoenix's first act though.
Total number of WIPs worked on this year: Three that I've posted (Phoenix, Prey's rewritten version, and When Your Music Stops), plus countless others in my Google Docs, a few of which I plan on posting in a new fandom hopefully this year.
WIPs neglected this year: Nativity, the fic I wrote for Schrodinger's origin story. I decided to not publish the next parts I have planned for it until a certain chapter of Phoenix is up.
Fandoms I’ve written in: Lots of Hellsing, I've started to dabble in a few other fandoms as well after a friend got me into them.
Total word count: 48,711 words so far!
Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you expected? Less in terms of overall chapters/works, but definitely more in terms of words per chapter.
Did you take any writing risks this year? Starting a new fandom and a new longfic while still writing Phoenix.
Do you have any goals for the new year? I mentioned it above, but my goals for this year is to post at least once a month, and to finish Phoenix's first act. I posted a new fic on my alt account in January, and while I do have a oneshot for another fandom (v01dv0r3 knows which one I'm talking about. 😉) other than Hellsing that I was planning on publishing in Feburary, I caught COVID during that time and have only recently started to feel like myself again, but I'm hoping to have it out by early March.
Biggest disappointment? Not being able to write as much as I would want to due to mental health issues.
Biggest surprise? All the new fandoms I find myself getting into.
Most popular story of the year? Phoenix has recently reached over 1,000 hits, topping all of my other stories by a landslide.
What’s your own favorite story of the year? Definitely Phoenix, it's basically my baby by this point, the magnum opus for my fandom work, if you will.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Nativity has the lowest amount of hits, but considering its stagnation in progress and the first chapter's short length I can't really be too surprised about this fact.
Most fun story to write: I'd probably have to go with When Your Music Stops, doing the research for the second chapter's ambulance scene was really fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the final product! ❤️
Most unintentionally telling story: One of my current WIP's is probably going to out my shameless love for whump. 😂
My favorite part of fandom this year: How nice everyone is, and hearing amazing feedback that helps me improve on my writing even more, and all of the friends that I have met through fandom.
2022 Writerly Year Review
I was tagged for this by the delightful @kayedium-writes; in turn I nominte @bowieandthemickjaggernauts, @chaosrising451 (if you're well!), @0nelittlebirdtoldme, @runicmagitek, and @morgan-diablood.
Total number of completed works: Fanfic-wise, ten.
Total number of WIPs worked on this year: Six I completed, and there's three more unedited drafts waiting on my computer.
WIPs neglected this year: I had weeks here and there of neglecting whichever story I was working on, and I took a lot of breaks between drafts of my current WIP, so that.
Fandoms I've written in: Final Fantasy VI, VII, and X.
Total word count: 38,172, plus another ~60K that's yet to be polished and published.
Looking back, did you write more than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you expected? Less in terms of the ground I wanted to cover, but since some of those wordcounts expanded a bit as I went, I'm happy with what I managed.
Did you take any writing risks this year? I wrote a fic from Anima's point of view. One that veered wildly out of my usual trauma recovery lane and into tragic body horror that really played up the uncomfortable Oedipal psychosexual undertones of the canon story. I wrote it in part just to see if I could, and I'm still a little stunned that I pulled it off.
Do you have any goals for the new year? To do a sentence per day at minimum no matter how I feel, to keep trying new things, and to remember it's supposed to be fun.
Biggest disappointment? The weeks I spent not touching any WIPs.
Biggest surprise? That I took to short form fiction as well as I did!
Most popular story of the year? My fic Prints, which is a collection of four 500-word pieces about the couples in my FFVII series and the pets they adopt. Bittersweet metaphors more than non-literal fluff, though.
What's your own favorite story of the year? That would be either Aperture Priority or Penitent; the latter how the reasons described above and how fucking gonzo the writing process was, the former because I'm very proud of it and thinks it's one of my more polished works overall.
Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: Aperture Priority never really found an audience at all, and I think that's a shame.
Most fun story to write: Penitent, and the heist portion of the fic I'm currently working on.
Most unintentionally telling story: Definitely the current WIP, which I'm leaning towards titling Dulosis.
My favorite part of fandom this year: Finding other people's awesome work, having them tell me my comments brightened their day/nailed it/encouraged them somehow, and getting to talk with some of those authors a little bit elsewhere!
