#werewolf stuff

Sorry for the random disappearance BLOODMONEY community.

oh gosh uh see i'm like in the same boat as you. it's very hard to find quality werewolf media that's not alpha male type smut or bad horror movies (though some of those are fun) or . teen wolf, which i have only watched a couple episodes of and cannot in good faith recommend

an american werewolf in london, ginger snaps, and dog soldiers are really good movies with very fun practical effects. one of my professors actually worked on the werewolves for dog soldiers! the howling is not a good movie but i kind of love it i can't lie. OH and you should watch the wolf man even though i don't love that movie; it's just really important to understand where the modern understanding of werewolves comes from! (edit: SOMEONE IN THE TAGS also mentioned van helsing and that movie sucks in such A Way but the werewolf designs ROCK!!!! all of the monster designs do. i have had a very specific vision of it where i make the main character a butch. maybe someday i'll draw that)

i have heard good things about the marvel miniseries werewolf by night but i haven't watched it. and if you do watch it pirate it bc fuck disney + marvel.

wolfwalkers is a really well-made and sweet animated movie i would solidly recommend to anyone. beautiful art style, great message, and a really fun interpretation of werewolves.

dungeon meshi has some fun lycanthrope stuff in some of the chapters!!

there's a comic i really love called "After Dark" (on Webtoon) and I have to admit I only have the time to see the creator's posts on instagram, which are snippets of the story. but I adore the art style and characters a lot. you can follow them on twitter here!

Night Class is another (mlm/werewolf) comic and I'll link its twitter here. Really dig the art style too!!

uhh but lemme recommend some of my favorite werewolf creators on tumblr too! because truly we are lacking in good lycan media and i would recommend more indie stuff to fill that niche in more interesting ways:

Ever wanted to read just one fantastic source on werewolf legends? Read Sabine Baring-Gould's The Book of Werewolves from 1865! If you love werewolf folklore, you really need to read this sooner rather than later.

My edition is the best, of course (no, really, it is, I tried all the other ones I could ever find and ended up just making my own instead; I made this edition because this really needs to be preserved better than it is currently being preserved).

The text on the image reads as follows:

Only surviving source of multiple werewolf legends

Modernized formatting for ebook, paperback, & hardcover

Annotated bibliography with other sources to explore

Editor has lifelong background in studying werewolf folklore

Not just copy-pasted from Gutenberg! Actually formatted!

Fully annotated with relevant commentary and further citations & discussion

Translations for nearly all excerpts in Latin, Old Norse, and more

Unabridged, uncensored, author's work untouched

A must-read for werewolf enjoyers & anyone in werewolf studies

Find it here!

If you could ask a werewolf anything, what would you ask them?

Specifically about the lycanthropy, not anything about them as a human. It can be absolutely anything. Be as unhinged as you want.

And, what kind of things do you believe about werewolves? Again, it can be absolutely anything. Give me myths/lore you've heard.
