Last google search: I had to Google who wrote Boys Run The Riot.

Werewolves can be inflicted, but are most typically born into werewolf families. Agott, Tartah, and Olruggio are all witch-born.

On the other hand, in most vampire mythology, vampires are not born, only made. Coco and Custas were originally outsiders, and we can only assume Qifrey was one as well.

I was trying to think of other things connecting characters to the species’ mythos, but there’s a good deal of overlap so I can’t say much… I was originally going to say “oh the werewolves are werewolves because they have big transformations! Agott becomes nicer, Tartah becomes a brimmed cap, Olly… becomes a workaholic?” That doesn’t work out very well, and also vampires can transform.

Then it was “the vampires are all secretive!” Nope. Custas has been shouting out every emotion he’s had since becoming a witch.

The werewolves are all rejects? But Olly was a prodigy so that doesn’t work unless you count being rejected by Qifrey initially.

Adding on to your point about werewolves representing witch borns and vampires representing outsiders, the interpretation of the vampire and werewolf relationship depicts a fur vs. fang rivalry. This can be read as the tense relationship that witch hat atelier presents between witches and outsiders. What's even more fitting is that the fur vs fang rivalry is a new and modern interpretation that crept into literary works later on, representing how humans and witches were united prior to the formation of the pact.

On a different note, vampires are technically 'dead' beings or monsters that are classified as undead. All the vampire characters have experienced some form of life-threatening event that left them stuck in the limbo of life and death. The interpretation seems more applicable to the current hosts of the silverwood, in my opinion.

The fact that all three pairs fit some aspects of the werewolf and vampire narrative is likely to show their own unique differences in the narrative journeys they will take. You can see it best with how Olruggio and Qifrey's story aligns well with silverleaf tree and the stars while Coustas and Tartah's story matches the witch and silvertree tale. Agott and Coco will either be another variation of these myths or they will become their own story. This is also likely to represent the ongoing changes in witch society as each pair becomes more bold and defiant than the former, challenging, or critiquing aspects of witch society and the witches code.

Uhhhh something something this is probably unintentional by Shirahama but this split into two creatures mirrors the split from one magic society into a knowing and unknowing population. This is mostly just me geeking out about werewolf mythology. I love werewolves.

A few years ago I made a comic explaining what non SAM aro meant to me. Thought I'd see if I could remake it

Happy ASAW!

But it can also be very lonely. I am not aroallo. I am most certainly not aroace. I’m just aro, and sometimes people are very confused by this because they expect me to fit into a neat little box.
