#lycans

I also wanted to thank everyone for making me feel better and participating in it. It’s lovely because it shows that seeing all your fun character suggestions got me working like a clock.

Update: After searching a bit, I am seeing Tanis written online, but Tannis in the Underworld: Rise of the Lycans credits.

Oh, i don't know much about like lyca-

YOU WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE LYCANS!?

Lycantropy is a dramatic shift into a more animalistic appearing form triggered by external stimuli. This event always triggers an extreme surge in appetite, and lowers the host's cognitive abilities , overpowering them with stronger "instincts" for the duration.(*)

Documented cases of lycans include:

wolves - full moon shift - territorial

bears - cloudless noons - foraging

Iguana - thunderstorms - rest

Crow - strong winds - hording

Rabbit - high stress - panic

Spider - darkness - craftsmanship

Beaver - the sound of flowing water - stopping the sound of flowing water.

Snake - heat - burrowing

Boar - overeating - rage

Rat - condition contested(**) - teathing

Turtle - boredom - well... (***)

Drakolycans, despite having lycan in the name, are considered their own thing, as they are capable of switching at will and without cognitive decline.

* with the exception of turtles, with some claiming lack of self control and others claiming lack of focus. Yet more claim they do not experience any change in mindset whatsoever.

** the current leading theory is discomfort, although some rats have shifted and later claimed no distress at moment of shift, and other rats have been in extreme discomfort without shifting.

aphmaus dad disappeared, katelyn’s mom disappeared, travis’s mom disappeared, and there’s probably so many more i can’t think of

but like the romeaves and lycans(aaron’s family, idrk if i spelled that right, i rarely see the last name) are the only families i can think of that actually have BOTH of their parents (regardless of if their shitty or not)

they probably just made the parents ditch their kids cuz they needed us to feel bad for them and give them more trauma or smth
