“Oh yeah, because it’s our ‘anniversary’,” the hero drawled. “I forgot that was why you try to destroy the city year every year on this day. Why can’t we just,” they waved a hand, “go out for dinner or something?”
The villain ceased their attack, power draining away from their fingertips. “Alright,” they said after a long moment. “Dinner. Tonight. 8 o’clock. I’ll pick you up.”
The hero almost choked on their own surprise. They had been joking. “I was jok-“
“Or,” the villain said, eyes hardening, “I’ll kidnap you at 8. Your choice.”
“See you for dinner at 8, I guess?”

Boring old werewolf instincts:
Sexual jealousy
Constant aggression
Rigid hierarchy
Must win sports
Homophobia And Sexism Is Normal™
Eat people
Cool new werewolf instincts:
There is no five second rule
Corvids are friends
Hang out as a pack
Karaoke
Gotta pee
Also consider:
Separation anxiety
Unconditional love and loyalty
Being able to sleep in almost any situation or position
Irresistible urge to chase squirrels and rabbits
Hating the vacuum cleaner
Wanting to do everything with friends
Loudly and repeatedly announcing to housemates that someone is at the door
Long, shouted conversations to other werewolves across the neighborhood (bonus points at 2am)
Taking advantage of any and all free food
Werewolf-vampire solidarity
Fighting any animal that trespasses into the backyard
Boundless energy
Too much energy
Eating out of the trash if it smells tasty
Being bad at sports because you don’t want to let anyone else take the ball from you. Then destroying the ball in front of everyone because you want to make a point
Trying to fight things 10x your size like a fucking idiot
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
Needing to try a bit of your friends’ food, even if you’ve tried it 5645674 times before and have never once liked it
Getting way too friendly with random strangers
Being in a love-hate relationship with water
Digging. For no reason.
Thinking you’re a badass despite being a hyperactive ball of emotions and hedonism
Loud sobbing while pressing yourself up against the sliding glass door at your friends who locked you out because they were tired of your bullshit and wanted some goddamn peace and quiet
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!
“Why did you take all the blame?” “They hate me anyway so it was nothing new.”
“Are you dead?” the villain asks, from somewhere above. The hero claws for consciousness, grapples with xir ability to answer, but can’t do anything but scrape in shallow breaths and bleed.
A foot nudges xir in the ribs, and the hero can’t suppress a grinding little cry.
“Guess not! So now what do I do with you?”

Ten ways to say “I love you”
- Straightforward. Soft and heavy, like morning before the coffee’s started brewing. Like that’s all there is to say.
- Through laughter, over a chorus of voices, knowing it’ll strike home anyway. It’s meant for everyone here, after all.
- Slipped under your tongue, twisted into something else. “I trust you,” maybe. Trust them to figure it out.
- Instead of “thank you” or “see you soon” or “drive safe.” Because no matter what you say it’ll mean the same thing.
- Casually, as if you don’t mean it. Trying like hell not to mean it.
- Wrapped up in a question. How’s your day been, have you eaten, you know you can tell me anything, right? You know you can tell them anything. Right?
- Under your breath while the whole house sleeps, just before you have to leave for the day. More for yourself than for them.
- With a hand on their shoulder, a song on your lips, or a carton of their favorite ice cream in the freezer.
- Over a nervous smile, biting back the just-this-side-of-desperate hope they’ll say it back.
- With a soft sigh. Past exhaustion and frustration and despair, like it’s the only good thing left. Sometimes it is.

Some fluffy, some angsty prompts
- As a hello
- With a hoarse voice, under the blankets
- A scream
- Over a cup of tea
- Over a beer bottle
- On a sunny Tuesday afternoon, the late sunlight glowing in your hair
- As a thank you
- As an apology
- When baking chocolate chip cookies
- Not said to me
- With a shuddering gasp
- When we lay together on the fresh spring grass
- In a letter
- A whisper in the ear
- Loud, so everyone can hear
- Over and over again, till it’s nothing but a senseless babble
- When the broken glass litters the floor
- From very far away
- With no space left between us
- As we huddle together, the storm raging outside
- Over your shoulder
- Muffled, from the other side of the door
- Through a song
- Without really meaning it
- In a blissful sigh as you fall asleep
- Broken, as you clutch the sleeve of my jacket and beg me not to leave
- A taunt, with one eyebrow raised and a grin bubbling at your lips
- When I am dead
- Slowly, the words dripping from your tongue like honey
- Too quick, mumbled into your scarf
- In awe, the first time you realised it
- In a way I can’t return
- On a post-it note
- Before we jump
- As a goodbye
