#wolfborn

i know i used to be. that’s ALL i used to be; a wolf through and through, a wild animal ever since i was born. and i knew that as a kid, as a teenager. i took pride in being a wild wolf.

but these days, despite the fact that i identify as both a dog and a wolf, i cant picture myself as anything but a domesticated dog. i cant picture myself without an owner, without being a pet, without a home and safety and comfort. i’m not wild anymore, not really.

but i still hold onto that part of me who knew she was wholly, truly a wolf. and even though now i feel completely dog, completely docile, i think fondly and affectionately about my wolfhood. even if i don’t feel it most of the time these days.

i’m still a wolf. but only because i know i used to be. and i know there are terms now for a ‘type that you used to identify as, but don’t anymore. and i do use the term “wolfborn” (as in, otherborn) to refer to my wolfhood as different from my doghood. yet i will still call myself a wolf therian, because it meant so much to me for so long. even if it feels different now, like i’m turning in my wildness in exchange for a cozy dog bed and a pat on the head.

so incredibly D&D pilled.

So abit of an introduction for these guy's, and I'll put a TLDR because I know most people will not read all this

Kynareth (wolf) is a priest for the church of the holy sister, Also known as sisterism or the holy daughter.

He is a very kind man, he's quite old now, and quite lonely. He has been for a very long time. Hes into insects and entomology on his own time, an interest he shares with no one currently.

Kynareth carries himself very meekly, he tends to hide his wolfish qualities by keeping his ears down flat, smiling while only showing his gums, and only allowing afew tail wags at a time if he cannot contain himself. He feels deep shame for being a wolf, and is ostracized for being such. He turned to the church for community and guidance quite young-

After all, if people fear you, all you can do is make them respect you instead. When rownan shows up to his abbey, he tries his best to make friends with him, but no no avail. Until they're forced to get to know one another while he is doing penance. And while trying to guide rownan to a better way of life- he falls head over heels in love with him.

And now rownan!

Rownan (elf/bug) is a changeling sex worker who killed his last client after the client found out about his true form. It was truly an accident, but the church got ahold of anyways, and instead of throwing him in jail- they threw him to the wolves (literally)

He's an atheist with strong principles he will not break and does not allow the church to do so. He makes a ruckus enough times he eventually winds up at kynareths abbey, and there, he makes it his priority to scandalize this priest and escape from the church- and in doing so he falls head over heels in love with him.

I really enjoy these ocs and their dynamic! If anyone has questions, the ask box is open! Otherwise, I will keep posting artwork of these 2 because if I don't, I'll have to start killing hostages
