#but after 8 years here's the Effort((tm) and i wanna cry sjdsdkglshdfs

[misfortuning]

rolls up my sleeves  it is Time,,,,

y’all ready for a confession? here it is: my PETTIEST pet peeve when it comes to Isayah is...........people assuming that he smells like a dog HDDHGKLSHDGD. I DON’T BLAME U, HE LITERALLY CAN TURN INTO A WOLF and i never bring it up because it’s just That Petty, but he hasn’t taken that form in a long ass time and coincidentally Isayah ALSO hates being compared to a dog on any level (for different and very valid reasons), and I figured since I already made a detail post on it, why not do smth nice for him and expand a bit more on it

SO. I said “unless he has shifted recently” but didn’t give a very good definition of that sjdklghsbsd. by recently I mean within a few days, although it also depends on how long he stayed as a wolf. The last time he shifted was The Mountains, which...was two years ago AHSDHLGK. Isayah’s NOT a werewolf, his body is genuinely (an extremely altered) human and the ghost that tried to possess him doesn’t smell like anything. also unless someone is with him AS he shifts back into a human or a few minutes afterwards, a normal human nose probably wouldn’t be able to smell anything unless, again, he’s spent an extended time as a wolf

now when he DOES smell like a wolf, u gotta remember that he doesn’t live as wolf, he doesn’t act like a wolf. he lives in the city and acts like a human in the shape of a wolf who has wolfish instincts but isn’t at all controlled by them. as such, while it’s definitely a canine scent, it’s much wilder than a dog, no funky yeast smell and much muskier, gives u a very Feral vibe hdhklhgsd. it’s also not going to be anywhere near as strong as a normal wolf’s scent bc on average he only spends a fraction of time as a wolf compared to human and he also doesn’t roll in gross carrion shit sjdsjgklhsdf. AGAIN, I DON’T BLAME PPL FOR CALLIN IT DOG SMELL cause fr who’s gonna say “oh u smell like a wolf” when there are dogs everywhere & everyone know what they smell like, but just so now there’s specifics out there of what he smells like when applicable afjdsslk

i’m also gonna get into why he hates being compared to a dog but i’ll make a new post for that bc it’s Serious and not me bein a petty ass HDHKSLGH
