I told a kid in my class the other day that it was going to be the year of the tiger! This kid is a kindergartner, five years old.
Usually there’s some interest when I bring this up, but this kid sort of sat with that for a couple minutes, expression settling into a thousand yard stare. Just as I was wondering if something was wrong, he looked at me with his haunted eyes and asked, in a tone of resignation: “When are the tigers coming?”
I had to quickly reassure him that the year of the tiger was like…an animal assigned to the year, and not another plague or natural disaster! Between the Covid, lockdowns, and huge flood of cicadas last year this child probably decided that this was in line with how the world worked and was mentally getting his affairs in order.
I've seen fics where character A tries to tell character B they're a werewolf, and B ends up thinking A is a furry.
But what about B thinking A is on their period? If A is afab, that works. But if A is amab, you could really get into some major hijinks with B ending up thinking A is trans.
It's that whole "that time of the month" thing. Peak cinema to me.
Man all these cool werewolf ideas make me wanna write
Hey, so if a person gets bit by a werewolf they become a werewolf. If a werewolf bites an animal, then one of two things can happen:
Every full moon, the animal turns into a wolf, or nothing happens, depending on if you want to have your sheep learning self-defense every full moon.
!!! Agreed. Only private proposals here!! (Plus friend to photograph)
Just so my friend can see this on his dash once more
