This is after the inversion so they're a bit scuffed up
I didn't do Kesley because I'm not even sure if she's a shifter
I was planning on doing Bayley and Ansel but I got sick of drawing these fucking wolves
Christian and Arden look purple. They looked brown on the computer screen. Imagine that they're brown.
Also just for the record I was heavily inspired by @/nin_ei 's (on Instagram) werewolf adopts, I didn't want the wolf forms to look completely like regular wolves because that'd get repetitive and boring but also didn't want them to look like somebody's fursona so their character designs were a lot of help when figuring out fur patterns and stylized wolf anatomy!!
Amanda was one of those kids in middle school and elementary school that likes making "surprise lunch milk concoctions".
She'd put in random fruit, vegetables, candy, and condiments in the little milk boxes, stir it up, and dare kids to drink it (occasionally money was on the table as a prize).
David never accepted it, Milo and Darlin drank it once (decidedly never again), and Asher would do it almost every time (with the goal to gross people out).
(did anyone else have that happen at lunch? I remember cheetos, ketchup, green beans and chocolate milk being a popular mixture)
David forced everyone in the pack to get either life 360 (for those with androids) or to connect with him on find my iPhone.
It looks Lowkey crowded and weird because they never really go too far from Dahlia besides the occasional spontaneous trip to god knows where that Amanda does.
I’m trying to come to terms with my own leg problems and use of mobility aids so… have some post Inversion Christian headcanons.
He was just conscious enough after the barrier came down to process that he was likely to lose his leg. When he woke up hours later, still laid out on a cot in the recovery area past the practice fields, he was crying before he even opened his eyes.
He spent a long time after he woke up just staring at his leg, taking in the fact that it was still, somehow, there.
He has nightmares about the moment it happened. He can still recall, when he closes his eyes, the exact color of the muscle in his calf, how his bone shined through white and clean where his flesh peeled back. When he dreams, he dreams about the moment that the claws of that stupid fucking Shade sliced through his leg like butter.
He has scratches on his fibula from the thing’s claws. It cut down to his bone. If Arden hadn’t caught it between her teeth just a second after it hit him, it would have carved his leg into slices like bread.
Even after being healed, his leg has deep, twisting scars. They’re hard to look at and painful, pinching his skin in hard divots. When David saw it for the first time, he started barking for somebody to heal him. He was informed that this was as healed as Christian was likely to ever get.
He, like most of the members of the pack, spent two weeks after the Inversion at the Shaw house. He slept through most of it on David’s living room couch next to Ash, his leg elevated by a handful of throw pillows. Arden, who managed to get out of the Inversion with a handful of bruises and a minor concussion, slept on the floor next to him, fitfully waking to check on him every few hours.
The damage is centered in the middle of his leg, affecting both his thigh and his shin. That spread of damage means that his knee was affected. The joint isn’t ruined by any means, he can still bend his knee but has lost a lot of mobility with it. He can’t straighten or lock it entirely and can only bend it so far. He can’t squat down or crawl. The knee doesn’t hold his weight very well, and tends to start to buckle after a few hours of being up.
Amanda hasn’t called Christian since she heard about what happened, but she gets semi-frequent updates on how he’s doing from Arden. She can’t bring herself to speak to him knowing how much he’s changed, knowing that she can never understand.
He refused to go to physical therapy until David dragged him. He doesn’t do the at home activities unless David makes him. Now, at least twice a week, David asks him to come and work out with him. Really, they just do PT stretches. Neither of them talk about it.
After a few months, he can see in the tread of his work boots that he favors his left foot. For some reason, when he notices that for the first time, it makes him cry.
His doctor recommends that he uses a cane. The way that he limps puts strain on his joints and his other leg is starting to show ware from holding most of his weight. For a month after buying one, it sits untouched, propped up by his door. He stares at it every time he goes to leave his apartment.
Eventually, it’s Asher who gets him to use it. He brings over a pack of stickers from the dollar store, snags the cane, and absolutely covers it. What was once a sterile, metallic cane is now covered in dinosaur stickers. Asher informs Christian that if he doesn’t start using the cane, Ash is going to start carrying him around like a bride.
