Werewolf-vampire solidarity
Fighting any animal that trespasses into the backyard
Boundless energy
Too much energy

Being unable to hold a grudge for more than a few hours
Trying to make people feel bad for you over mundane things that aren’t actually that bad. And somehow succeeding.
Snoring

Okay this one is a gem:
“
Loudly and repeatedly announcing to housemates that someone is at the door
So most of these are very dog oriented, which makes sense to me, since dogs are just wolves that have co-evolved with us for thousands and thousands of years BUT I wanted to add a few that are wild wolf based:
Multigenerational households!
Kids get really excited when someone comes home with groceries
“I can HELP put away the food!” “Oh, and have you whisk away the ice cream like last week? I’m fine, dear.”
Love to travel and follow food trends
Mostly very social and must have roommates/family/significant other/kids/friends around
However, not uncommon to travel alone for periods of time, especially after leaving home
Big friendly communal meals with lots of ritual around who gets served in what order
“Let grandma take her pick of the turkey first. It’s respectful, and she won’t take kindly to you cutting the line.”
Full pantries, stocking up on basics, the kind of people who always have extra oatmeal, or batteries, or a jump cable
Can hold conversations using body language and eye contact without saying a word
Cuddlers, especially with the social group
Yelling to get everyone to gather, and phone chains for anyone who lives further away
Lots of singing, the pack has a bunch of favorite songs that everyone knows by heart, and some may be song writers
“Can you smell this? Does this smell weird? Does this smell good?”
Lots of candles and incense with unusual scents
Passing houses and farms and land down through generations
Love home renovation
Communal child care and sometimes communal nursing
Kids are all really into wrestling and being outside
When someone is ready to leave the household, the younger they leave the further they tend to travel. Someone who leaves at 18 might go to another country, but someone who leaves at 26 might just move a town away.
Whether someone moves far or close to home, it’s not unusual to move back in at home a few times before settling down
“You know the futon is always open for you. Your cousins are in your old bedroom, but you’re always welcome!”
Kinda grumpy about neighbors pushing property boundaries
“Why do they have to let the damn mulberry tree hang over OUR driveway?”
Good endurance runners
Late walks at night, naps in the middle of the day
Really playful, especially with kids
Lots of rough housing and board game nights!
I’ve been looking for the one with the wolf-aspects added for a while and I found it again! Reblogging for A+ extra wolfy content!
A werewolf film written by a woman wouldn’t be as interesting because they know how unrealistic it is to be caught by surprise by something that happens regularly every damn month.
And then there’s that werewolf who goes three full moons without transforming, then transforms one night during a waxing crescent moon.
Now I’m imagining some on the werewolf form of the pill and having to regularly keep up their schedule and one werewolf telling another that they used to have such irregular changes but the pill now makes things so much easier and the other werewolves being like oh man I should talk to my doctor about this.
All i imagined is some poor fucker that’s like “you think you have it bad. I got my first change at 9 and change sporadically every 4 months or so. For 2 weeks. Sometimes it happens randomly so i just gave up.”
Wake up pissed and agitated with a headache and slam some aspirin with no real thought to the matter because it must just be a shit day. Halfway through the day they just “…oh shit that explains so much fuck fuck fuck”
Switch to a new kind of transformation control and spend the next three months awkwardly half wolfed-out
I need werewolf grandmothers who are eight feet tall with thick fur graying around their eyes and muzzles, wearing shawls they knitted themselves because regular old lady shawls just don’t fit their immense shoulders the way they do in human form.
With a slight stoop to her back from standing on two legs and running on all four. Heavily scarred from her rambunctious youth hunting, running, roaming the lonely roads, leading the pack. Now she is content to offer guidance to the younger generations, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t still have a hunt or two left in her.
She may not be able to run down a buck the way she could at twenty-eight but by golly when one of her grandcubs faces down an angry brown bear in the wilds her claws come back out and she is every bit the alpha she has always been.
Werewolf grandma who nuzzles her adult kids when they come to visit for Christmas and fawns over how big her grandcubs’ paws are. Who cooks a feast of venison and wild hog with herbs from her own garden. Who entertains the local sheriff and his family for dinner on weekends because she saved his father on a hunting accident when he was just a little kid; now he keeps trespassers out of her territory and she teaches his kids how to camp and regales them around campfires with stories about a world their teachers tell them only exists in TV shows.
ok i did a whole bunch of #cocktober werewolves on my AD twitter and im posting them here and probably losing followers but w/e : ) HOPE U HAVE YOUR NSFW TAGGED ALSO SORRY IM A HUGE FURRY DONT WORRY I ALREADY HATE MYSELF
