LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS:

A Crown of Thorns, late 2016

—

Send 💭 for a thought my muse has had about yours.

“Don’t you dare!”

Brandishing his staff like a sword, the mud-caked man stumbles forward, snorting with barely-contained anger at the enormous animal’s unwelcome presence. Its blazing eyes flash in the light of the fireplace, which sits behind him, next to a small mud figure, humanoid and child-sized, with a white stone for a head. Equal parts charming and eerie in its bizarreness.

How did it find me?I burned everything, didn’t I?My notes… my books…I don’t understand…

“I don’t have anything for you, so go away!”

For emphasis, he jabs his branch-staff at the beast’s filthy hide, hoping to frighten it away, or at least stop it from staring at him. Those bright yellow eyes shouldn’t be as calculating as they are, but curiosity, well-intentioned or not, couldn’t be farther from the doctor’s mind.

a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going

wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that

they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not

a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting

a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed

if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now

young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it
