#werefolk

[shpepyao]

I had a dream where I was a werefolk who can turn into a raven creature, and I was bringing gifts from mortal realm to cryptic creature in another dimension One day this blind giant spider took notice that someone visits him, and tried to catch bird, but it escaped and stopped showing in his realm And then spider has decided to find bird by himself, arriving as an anthro being in formal suit, because, y'know, you don't want to scare mortals by showing in original building sized spider form So I drew this pal and want to doodle bird as well, but maybe a bit later It's funguary soon, and I need to finish some owed stuff first :']

Beast Fables - Myles Roddenberry, the Were-Saltwater Crocodile

The main POV character from the side of the land in my Beast Fables setting, much like how Kara is the main POV character from the side of the seas.

Context: Beast Fables is a worldbuilding project that centers around the world of Urvara, a world roughly analogous to ours... except that everyone on land is a form of Werebeast, people who can transform into anthropomorphic versions of animals, and the seas live Merfolk, who themselves resemble the various creatures of the sea.

Myles is the quintessential scholar and gentleman, a good natured lad who enjoys learning about the natural world and all that lives in it, as well as a strong fascination with history, culture and stories throughout the world.

He is also a were-saltwater crocodile who also REALLY enjoys a good fight, partially because his specific bleed-in (aka certain traits from his animal from "bleeds in" to his human one) is aggressiveness in a fight, and partially because he enjoys the thrill of it.

What if, what if werefolk au-

[wxlfbites]

Considering the vast majority of those who have interacted with my nonhuman poll are therians/otherkin when I specifically asked for nonhumans who are NOT those things to interact, I’ll probably have to toss out the whole thing.

I know you can’t really control who interacts with polls like that but its frustrating. I wanted that poll to highlight specifically that therianthropy and otherkinity were not the only ways to identify as nonhuman but unfortunately can’t do that now knowing the majority of interactions are from them.

Text version in ID/ALT (first time doing that hope its okay/good 😬)

Here’s some lore on how the difference between a werefolk and a shifter works in my story cause they can be pretty similar

For all that is changed they cannot see past the sharp edges

Thick forested areas have been replaced with pavement and street lamps. What’s a child of the moon to do? Adapt and that’s what these Werefolk have done! 🚙🌃

✨🌙✨

The local WereClubs have come accustomed to Fifi Ferocious prancing in on Nights of the full moon. Never expecting that by day she’s just a mild-mannered Office assistant named Chloe.

June has come to an end and I hope all of my big queer family has had a Happy Pride 💕 I love you guys, gals and non-binary pals! To continue the celebration, I’m doing a big colorful and odd Julycanthropy!!

Either way, you should check out The Beast Within, a ttrpg with this very premise.

Crowd-funding until the end of March, it's got some great incentives, including a game for you and your friends, run by the game's creator, and some sweet art!

Just thinking about the idea of nations being able to growl and practically have fangs for canine teeth especially under stress and anger

Captain Flint Green aka The Wolf Warlock Pirate ;;   Leader of the Mighty crewmates of the Witches Moon.

A Deal with Two - was once told to be a blond; a devilish man from a royal bloodline he no longer wished to be of. Using his methods; he stole from his own home; he took everything he could carry - with it he bargained a ship; pardoned prisoner pirates and with a promise to show him the true world from their sails; they fled with every cry of protest from Green’s family.

Green changed his first name; his real one lost on the winds; thus he became Flint. It wasn’t a name he gained but earned from his Captain as a crew member and over time he grew into it then beyond it. captain green and his ship; the witches moon; was a demon of the seas; with a strategic team upon her vessel; their canons tripled in plentiful years; refurbishments of their ship took years; but their name took weeks to travel over the seas. They became undefeated; He, Captain Green became a legend amongst those hunting him down for a bounty he honestly though to be weak and too low for his head to be rolling for. Still; he conquered the seas without a regret.

the crew were too; renamed - taken into green’s family; and with a bite to share his gifts of witchcraft and wolven blood. it would be impossible to stop them at any point on the seas, land or even over the stars.

A drunken deal; a moon filled promise; a rejection of a devils handshake. And the warlock was born. Through a dreary night; tossing and turning; fucking his harem into the mattress like a mad man with nothing but procreation on his mind; his seed was heavy. His family grew; his wives plentiful. He sailed on; his body becoming more and more and more powerful. His voice coaxed the seas to calm; and the winds to push them further and further each time; the Moon made his blood dance and body twist and contort. He became one with the world; the elements - the desire for adventure; thrill and treasure for his men below.

Then he disappeared; like a rumour in a pub full of drunks. His name was once heavy on the minds of all; and then the next; The Witches Moon; Captain Wolf Warlock and his crew —- simply vanished.

Weretober 2023 Batch Part 1 - Featuring Newts, Cats, Boars and Local Wildlife

It's Weretober! A big month for my worldbuilding project of Beast Fables, as there's so much worldbuilding to do. Now, to break down the rows:

Pets! A Were-Crested Newt takes his pet otter for a walk, and a were-cat hugs her precious Dire Cat, named tibbles. In Urvara, there's a LOT more varieties of domesticated pets, from otters, to monitor lizards, to even miniature hippos!

Mercenary work is a popular profession in Urvara, especially after a big conflict, where many former military werefolk cannot acclimate back to civilian life. This wereboar shows off his scars, while this werelion, decked in gamebson and hardened leather grieves and armed with both kriegsmesser and musket, demonstrates that, even in the age of gunpowder, melee weapons and armor still has a place in a world where every human can turn into anything from a bear to a scorpion.

A Were-Giant Anteater paleontologist finds the discovery of a lifetime: A Dinosaur chimera, one that looks takes the dragon as its chimeric form.

A werefrog gets the fright of its life, as a Capricorn (a chimeric form of Catfish that gets traits from caprines, such as goats) takes its bait and then some!

A young werebull prepares to duel against a Minotaur, for he is a Minotaur wrestler, like his father and grandfather before him.

It's t-minus one week until we all finally find out where the Mighty Nein are in this fine extended Apogee Solstice, so in honor of the occasion, one more time:

RAMBLY HUNTER THE PARENTING THEORY.

EPISODE 4 SPOILERS AHOY!

PROBABLY SKIP THIS IF YOU ARENT COMFORTABLE WITH TOPICS IN HUNTER THE PARENTING. BLOOD, GORE, MENTAL HEALTH RELATED TOPICS DISCUSSED WITHIN.

heads up my knowledge of WTA is not oh-so-deep, ive mostly just been on the sidelines of one particular campaign at one point. i know a good bit but my knowledge is largely as a mage player.

i think simon "spit" spires is a werewolf or other kind of rage-plagued werefolk, and just underwent his first change.

not sure if its a late change. possibly? i forget the specifics of when things happen.

triggered by the stress of his adhd medication withdrawal amongst other things, overstimulation, a spiral of anxiety and such.

fatigue is a scholar of lycanthrope lore also if you catch it early on. could have possibly noticed when listening to spit venting to him that he is at the very least a kinfolk or associate with werewolf kind, pointing it out, being the full on catalyst for that change.

first changes are often blind, violent rages, far from the more methodical killing of a vampire or their minions, hence the heavy gore and viscera, ending with spit in a state of horror, and confusion, a possible state after a first change.

smaller little thing. i think the blood test could be one aggravating factor in spit's anxiety spiral, as he may be worried it would out him as a kinfolk or as the potential mole. so, spit could very much be another mole, asked to befriend the son of a hunter. i forget if anything was stated about if git and spit knew brok for a while. being afraid of discovery would not help this situation

additional thing: i also think possibly some of the nightmarish things spit is thinking is from a bubbling of rage, boiling to the surface, he's horrified, he's rejecting those thoughts.

ANOTHER THING THATS IMPORTANT TO NOTE BY THE WAY: i do not want to simply say "oh these adhd symptoms mean he's a werewolf!!1!!!!!1!!" though, i myself am adhd and i dont want to seem like im just accusing this poor guy of being a werewolf for just having a breakdown, bless him, this could be a red herring or me overthinking about this.

(i dont think this is insensitive as a theory but if this comes off as such, my apologies.)

im spitballing and trying to sort this now after the rush of the new episode.

thanks for reading. cant wait for more HTP this series is awesome.

edit: forgot to mention literal claw markings.

[wxlfbites]

Something in the way I perceive myself as nonhuman has changed. The wolf within me has seemingly taken over completely; the human part of me only existing in the physical now. And even then… it feels as if my body is more wolf too. This is such a complicated experience to explain so bare with me here.

Everything I do, I do as a wolf. It’s not even so much that my self image is wolven, or that I am more mentally shifted, but rather I am simply… wolf. I feel dysphoria, but not in the way I normally do - the sharp ache that rips my soul apart - more like my brain acknowledges that my human body but knows it’s not really… like it’s a illusion that just makes me look that way to everyone else. Internally, I feel my core, my spirit, has completely morphed and taken on the total essence of a wolf. I feel the heartbeat of it, it’s vibrations, more loudly and deeply.

I’m not even necessarily seeing myself in my minds eye as a physical wolf most of the time - though I still do sometimes. I just… move differently, more in step with the wolf, see differently, closer, hear differently, smell differently… but it’s not a sensory shift. The only way I can possibly describe it in any simple way is to compare it to the feeling you get when you listen to Native American, Celtic or Pandoran music full blast and just… let it in. Letting every beat hit, every rhythm flow. Finding your home, your entire self, in that music. It’s like that… but with the wolf. The wolf is the music and it’s coursing through me like lifeblood.

I feel no connection to my humanity even when I’m doing human things. Even when I’m telling myself how human my body is. I can’t say that I am feral or a beast. But I am not human in any way that counts.

some werefolk doodles

[monsterfuckerconfessions]

You know that thing where dogs will sniff your ears and lick your face? I think it’s cute and if werewolves exist, they better do that as well.

Maybe it’s just my dog trying to lick my earwax or whatever but I choose to interpret it as a sign of affection.

I actually like the thought of werefolk showing affectionate behaviors you’d see from a pet normally.

Like, a werefeline person slowly blinking at you and bringing you things it’s killed to show they love you.
