- ur local werewolf
☾ wearing chain necklaces really brings out something within me. i feel somehow proud to wear them, like they’re some award or prize. i always feel so natural wearing them.
☾ i love when my nails grow out long enough to file to a point. i love just looking at them and touching them, feeling the pointed tips against my skin. if only they were stronger.
☾ i actually really enjoy brushing my teeth. taking care of my fangs makes me feel strong. i love looking at my canines in the mirror.
☾ i really want to buy myself some nice fingerless gloves, especially those ones with little paw pads sewn on them. soft enough to feel like paws, but with the ability to show off my claws.
☾ as stereotypical as it sounds, i love wearing my red flannel. seeing myself in it makes me feel all giddy inside.
☾ *taps nails against hard surface for clicking noises*
☾ i use an ipad to draw and i have a widget that shows the moon cycle everyday. turning my ipad on just to see that is so fun.
☾ i got a seafoam colored calcite the other day from a local festival that’s shaped like a tiny moon. i love holding it and feeling it in my hands. its sort of a good luck charm for me now. maybe i’ll find a way to put it on a chain necklace.
i feel as though, while a werewolf, i am and always have been a gentle soul. i don’t have memories of attacking other creatures. i don’t have memories of digging my claws into flesh. all i can remember is running through deep earthy forests and wide open meadows. i vividly remember the snow covered woods and the feeling of the cold bark against my hands. i feel as though maybe i collected stones or feathers, and maybe the bones of deceased creatures, but i can’t remember ever outright harming anything or anyone. i think the wolf inside just felt content enough in solitude and with the ability to fear nothing.
i have the fondest memories of the moon, and looking up at it through the treetops. i crave that type of peace again. my fangs remember the feeling of the cold night air passing through them as i ran for miles through the woodlands. they remember the hard things i chewed on to keep them healthy. my claws remember the dirt and stones they’ve touched. they remember scratching and climbing up tall trees.
at the same time, i remember how it felt to bear my teeth, how it felt for all the hair on my neck to stand on end, the way my ears felt pressed against my skull. maybe i was more of a frightened creature than a violent one. perhaps that explains the anxiety and fear of many things i have now. in the present, i simply wish to reside in my home alone, covered in fur blankets and with a nice warm sweater. while i crave the smell of the forest, the human in me finds peace listening to nature sounds with my dogs. while things are different now than they once were, i feel i am no less a wolf than i always have been.
-- ☾ as autumn draws near, i feel the wolfish side of me grow restless. i wouldn't say restless in a bad way, not like anxious, but more... alive?
-- ☾ my neighbors often have bonfires this time of year. something about that scent really makes my mind run wild as well as makes it feel at ease.
-- ☾ i've spoken before about how i don't feel i was ever a violent being, but perhaps a scared and peaceful one. i feel this more as i age, i don't think i've ever felt that stereotypical "blood and gore and bones" type of way, more so i just feel at ease in a nice fur blanket with my werewolf plushies.
-- ☾ few things feel as bad sensationally than breaking a nail. especially after they've finally grown long enough to be filed to a point. finally i feel like my claws can be mimicked, then i work too hard and they break. i forget they aren't as powerful as before.
-- ☾ it's still warm where i am, but we occasionally get those chilly pre-autumn nights. i can hardly contain myself before setting out on a nighttime walk with my partner. he doesn't know of this side of me because i've chosen to keep it private, but these walks feel surreal when watching the moon and stars.
-- ☾ i prefer cold weather to hot weather any day. in the cold, sweaters feel almost like a part of me, like representation of my fur.
-- ☾ i'm entirely heat adverse. i must've lived somewhere nice and cold in a past life, as i crave that wind chill through my hair. my fur must've been thick and heavy, as now i can hardly stay outside in the heat for longer than a few moments without immediate discomfort.
-- ☾ i've collected more chain necklaces since my last post about them here. i love wearing them still. i've recently been made aware of slip chain necklaces, which tighten like a collar when one end is pulled on. i've been looking into finding a comfortable one ever since.
