#i do know that otis would be a feral balding terrifying looking thing

[slashingdisneypasta]

Ohhhhhh I did send an ask about wolf characters, but now that you've decided that your F/O's are werewolves, I must send this one in now XD

How exactly do you see your F/O's as werewolves? Some I can easily see like Otis. But Cruella??? Oh the poor woman XD do you think they were born werewolves or bitten? Are they a specific type woth different attributes? How do you think their wolfy forms look like? I'm very intrigued

I have been thinking about this since you sent this in!! ^^

To preface: These werewolves struggle less with their full moon's the more that they have given in to their wolf side. The more they connect with the animal and leave humanity behind, the more of their actual minds (Their humanity, their thoughts) remain after they've transformed. ... and also yes. They all had ruts XD - but those stop around menopause time. Even for the men who do not get menopause. No pups are coming outta these oldies, so theirs no need.

🖕Otis B Driftwood🖕:

Otis is pretty much totally connected with his wolf side- by complete choice. Which means he's feral, he lacks basic personal hygiene and communication skills (His rants are almost incomprehensible and he often growls/grunts in responce to people.), he'll sniff you for signs of weakness/aggression/etc, he's aggressive, he'll lick his wounds, etc. He's still Otis, he's just very very wolf-like.

Otis is so stubborn and strong of mind, and is so connected with his wolf side, that if he doesn't want to shift- he fucking wont. He used to like it, though, the freedom; but as he grows older he wants to shift less and less (Its hard on the joints 😅) so he's becoming more human and disconnected from that canine side of him. Hence the bettering in his appearance and his seeming to become less feral in 3 From Hell.

... but that also, of course, means that his shifting is becoming a lot harder on him. It takes him by force now and then he's even more aggressive then ever when he's in the wolf form. He doesn't have as much clarity as before, either, because he's fighting it. So he knows he's pissed off, but the wolf doesn't know why. Just that it needs to dig its teeth, into something.

Otis is a born wolf (His parents were werewolves, and they left him behind when he was 14 cuz like- grown. Pup is all grown.) and he changed the rest of the Fireflies/Coltranes+Captain Spaulding.

🐊Jim Bickerman🐊:

Jim is not quite as connected with the wolf as Otis is (Or as Otis was, I should say). But he is better off then the others.

You can see it in his eyes when he sees something- or someone (Prey)- he likes. Or wants. You can hear it in his voice when someone pisses him off in the quiet growl rumbling in the back of his throat. You can feel it in how his body heat's a noticeable amount warmer then the average person.

His full moon is not as easy as Otis'; he doesn't have a chance to not shift and he doesn't have the clarity Otis used to have and it hurts- but Jim kind of looks forward to it. The week before the full moon he's stronger then ever (No more limp, no need for Viagra anymore, etc.), and he can see farther then he has in years, and he can hear what the rest of the town is saying about him, which is always interesting... (he knows exactly who he hopes he bites later).

Also, it used to be that he was glad that he (His personality, his thoughts his mind) disappeared for the night that he is the wolf as he was having a particularly bad time of it when he first turned. More on this next paragraph

Now, as much as I'd love the whole Bickerman clan to be werewolves- I also know that Jim is just the idiot to get himself bitten. So yeah, he was bitten. I'd say it happened around age 36-40. Probably when he was in a really bad spot in his life (No job, gambling debts, a tab at the bar the same height as him- double sided) which is why he took to the werewolf thing so considerably easily compared to some others- it actually improved his life. He was stronger, his head clearer, his vision better (Which made shooting a lot easier), and on a full moon he could eat all he wanted.

ALSO!! a thought I'm sure you've had- how do his lost limbs factor in to his wolf form? Does he still have the prosthetics? The answer is no he does not, he's a 3-legged one-eyed wolf. Its just lucky for him that his hand does not get factored into the change since technically the wolf doesn't have arms- he has legs.

(not sure about that last bit yet, I'm still thinking ^^)

📕Professor Callahan📕:

Alright!! So when I think about werewolf!callahan I get really excited XD He of course does not connect with his wolf side much (not even as much as Jim)- he of course has that predatory thing about him when it comes to pretty students, which is something, but its not enough to cause the full moon to take it easy on him. Ahhh, I just love the idea that this very sensible modern man has such a crazy dark secret (: That after the day of a full moon, after he's taught Harvard students law- he goes home and gets more irritated and more pissed off-

until he transforms into a goddamn wolf.

Before a full moon Callahan's personality and treatment of students and employees alike gets worse. He's even meaner (Nastier, more angry then ever before. And generally Cal's not an angry man. Just a dick), he'll make you look dumb just so he can yell at you for incompetency, his hair and clothes are just enough out of place that people notice and think he's just so stressed and frazzled.

But at the same time- he's even sharper then usual. He sees holes in arguments and contracts faster then anyone, and he can beat anyone in court. Its amazing, his mind is so clear and so focused, and you feel a chill when he walks into the room because his energy becomes so domineering. He's truly shark-like.

I think Cal was also bitten.

👠Cruella De Vil👠:

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh boy. Cruella actually FIGHTS the curse- which is what it is, for her. A curse. She REFUSES to BE a BLOODY COAT.

Poor her you say??? Poor Alonzo having to be around her the week of the full moon!!! 🤣 He is not coming out of it without blunt force head trauma, lemme tell you.

Okay so, I know Cruella is pretty wolf like already; she's aggressive and focused and almost animalistic- but thats just her. Her personality. That is not her giving in to the wolf at all, no. In fact she fights it so hard she almost becomes animal completely separately from the werewolf gene. She will fight the change until she bursts a blood vessel. She will scream and shriek and hold onto her 'humanity' (... hah) with everything. But of course there are things that happen to her because of the oncoming change.

Such as mood swings. Now, she already has those- I know. But these ones are far more severe. Yes, just imagine it. Its terrifying. She can go from all over the place to laser focused at the drop of a hat. Her appearance also becomes messier- her hair refuses to do anything but stick up in random directions (If you were a person who didn't know about her wolfieness you would almost believe that her hair has gotten... thicker, since yesterday. Which it has. Thicker and stronger), her eyes seem to shine brighter then usual, her nails become longer and sharper, she grows a few centre metres taller, etc. She also gets stronger, her throwing precision becomes more focused, and other stuff like that.

Cruella was DEFINITELY bitten. It is Karma (:

I hope this is all legible, I feel like its written crazy 😅 Well thank you so much for this ask!! This was a blast to think about XD
