#wolf ask

Robin is the easiest to punish. Honestly just telling him your disappointed works amazingly well. Spanking also works just as well. Or the naughty step. Honestly any punishment works for him because he wants to be a good boy.

Timothy is also fairly similar. Spanking and telling him he's a bad boy works incredibly well.

Chester and Nilo it's a lot harder. They both like to be brats to get spanked. Out of the two, Chester is easier. Either over stimation or chastity work best. Or take away him being allowed to focus on his oral fixation.

Nilo likes to act up so he's put in his place. He likes to try to get power when doesn't want the power. The best punishment is telling him if he wants to be in charge he can and leaving him in charge. He'll be so unsatisfied and unhappy from that. Or by ignoring his behaviour completely. This can include setting him up with toys and leaving him on his own.

Francis is also difficult to punish. But lots of edging is a good thing. He does also enjoy that so it has to be a careful balance.

The weeds swayed in a cool breeze that wafted in from the ocean, the feathered seedheads gone a creamy tan as they ripened in the late autumn air. All around her Wolf could see the trees beginning to turn, their leaves as red as her hair as they fell all about her as she shook the tree trunk. A small whistling thud heralded the arrival of an acorn.

At last.

Wolf snatched the nut up with a gleeful smile and dashed off, skittering around the only newly regrown patch of cosmos to arrive at the workbench. A thrill of anticipation sounded in her chest as she spread the acorn next to the pinecones, tree branches, and maple leaves she'd gathered earlier. With a deep inhale she glanced at the plans that she'd shot down earlier that afternoon and then...

BANG BANG BANG

She held the Tree's Bounty Arch above her head in triumph, the thrill of success making her cry out in excitement.

The slow sound of clapping from beside her drew Wolf's attention, and there, sitting on the Small Mush Stool she'd crafted yesterday, was the island's other resident. Lorh hopped off the mushroom stool and swaggered over to Wolf, her expression a wry smirk. Wolf felt a pang of jealousy. She hadn't learned that one yet.

"Look what I got," She beamed and then dropped a flash of green to the ground. Wolf's mouth fell open. At least she had learned to be surprised already.

"A kitchen island!" She'd seen one, once, in Nook's Cranny, but the price had been exorbitant for the craftsmanship, and she'd sucked back her desire for it and plodded back out to gather apples. "Where'd you get the bells for that, Lorh?"

"Oh," She said mysteriously. "I've got my sources." Wolf didn't trust the woman. She'd seen her hanging about the northern beach too often, despite the warnings Isabell had consistently given out.

"Well I'm happy for you," Wolf tried not to pout as she said it, instead placing the arch beside them, and giving it a good shove to center it along the path.

"I got it for you," Lorh seemed absurdly smug as she said it, and Wolf turned to her, aghast.

"Really?"

"Well I sure as hells didn't get it for Erik," she smiled and nudged the kitchen towards Wolf. "Kid thinks opening a bag of chips is cooking."

Honestly, I don’t find it awkward at all.  I don’t provide their offerings on the same plate or in the same cup, but other than that… They share the same altar space and are equally important to me.  I think Tyr can empathize with the Wolf in a way, even though he knows the Wolf must be chained.  And I think the Wolf has respect for Tyr, even though they have both hurt each other greatly.  After all, Tyr held to the letter of his word and sacrificed his hand when the Gods chose to trick and bind the Wolf.  He did not pull away.

I think, possibly, if someone worked with the Wolf in a different way, they might find honoring Tyr to be strange or awkward but… as the Wolf plays out in my own life, he does not manifest in a manner that can be allowed to run free.  The Wolf and Tyr play a big part in my recovery from mental illness and self-harm.  Other folk work with the Wolf for different reasons, but for me… letting the Wolfish parts of me run wild would lead to my death, eventually.  so… For all I must honor and empathize with and accept the Wolf, I must also honor Tyr and aspire to his bravery and sacrifice as I too attempt to bind the Wolfish parts of me.

[Text] yes I did. And I need my omega to come over and fix it

[Text] pretty please. I'm dying over here

Hi!  Fenrir can be such a powerful deity to work with.  I wish you the best!  :)  

I’ve discussed this a bit here.  I’m not linking it because I don’t like questions, I just think this list of posts might be useful to you.  I do enjoy talking about the Wolf!  

That’s a rather big question!  But, I also know that my blog is a lot to go through since I’ve had it for a few years now. :)  

I think the short answer is: I don’t have the best mental health.  I came to really relate to the Wolf and to Tyr when I began to try to figure out how to deal with my emotions and self-harm.  I have found their tale helpful in considering and attempting recovery.  I’ve also found the Wolf helpful in learning to acknowledge thoughts and emotions I’d rather not face.

Since your question is broad, it seems like a good time to pull together the more explanatory of my Wolf posts into one convenient place.  If you want more information, please ask another question!  Hopefully these are of use to you. 

My tag The Wolf mostly contains my personal ramblings and a few quotes and photos.

Wikipedia says: “Fenrir (Old Norse: “fen-dweller”) or Fenrisúlfr (Old Norse: “Fenrir’s wolf”, often translated “Fenris-wolf”)“

So, I believe ulfr means wolf. 

I’ve read a few good posts about this on tumblr, but my favorite is still eluding me (it may very well just be in my mind lol). Here is GLE talking about the Wolf’s name along with thorraborinn’s additional commentary.

The short(est) story is that I read Harry Potter, researched ancient runes, found the Elder Futhark and realized Norse Mythology existed.  At the same time I was looking into paganism and Wicca and realizing Wicca wasn’t for me, but a lot of paganism was.  And then I read Tyr’s myth and started honoring him, and everything has grown from there.
