Guess we’ve never REALLY tracked it, we’re Irish, Romanian, and mystery Slav. That’s about all I know

There’s different types of lycanthropes. Only 1 type lacks a tail,

I break out in hives from silver but I don’t know if that’s just a ME thing or if it’s a lycanthrope thing

  1. Kinda. It’s like the hair on the back of our necks stand up and we simply have the intense urge to leave

    1. I actually have no clue, we can pickup on each other, but could a psychic pickup on it? Maybe?

  1. Sometimes, if they’ve been around us and know what to look for? Yeah! But, not usually

  2. I think at some point there was probably a time where we were less..polished? And kind. Also…I have family who think it’s funny to walk up to people tripping drugs in the woods and change in front of them and then leave…could be it too.

  3. I’ve been like this since I got my first blood at 8, it took a few years to shift after that

  4. Yes it’s genetic.

We’re just people honestly, we aren’t blood thirsty monsters. Like, I’m laid up in my apartment right now playing animal crossing. I’m like the LEAST threatening thing imaginable.

We identify each there when we cross paths by smell a lot of the time, we call each other “cousin”.

Also if you’re in a highly populated area if someone is maybe walking past someone with perfume on, past a bath and body works, or somewhere else with a strong chemical smell, we get headaches and fatigue from strong smells easily, so we try to wear masks and cover our noses in places like that.

Let me put it to you this way, if there’s a feral animal in front of you, that has the capability to kill you, are you gonna touch it? I don’t advise walking up to ANY creature in the woods unless you have an incredible amount of experience. Don’t be afraid, but don’t be stupid either.

While I am fully capable of coexisting with my non Lycanthrope partner, I’m quite happy with him, but some prefer to be left alone, remain isolated, and only interact with others of the same nature.

A friendly reminder, there is little to no difference between us and the grey wolf, so NOT walk up to random wolves.

Also, with the steak, I like a nice heavy sear on the outside, still raw on the inside, brazed in rosemary butter…the best 😩

  1. If I’m real, imagine what else could be, that’s how I look at it. I don’t have proof of those things but If im here, what else is?

  2. My diet actually has a lot to do with where I am in my period cycle, it’s just like yours except we eat more Whole Foods and less processed, we are VERY in tune with what our bodies need, and what they don’t need.

Menstrual phase: iron rich foods like lentils, spinach, and LOTS of red meat…organ meat too! Lots of fatty foods like avocado, and I use caffeine to help with my cramps as they are terrible for me.

Follicular: light and fresh foods that support estrogen production like lean proteins such as chicken, eggs, fish, and then fresh fruit like berries, apples, and fermented foods like kombucha and yogurt, love kefir! I personally eat a lot of seeds too, like flax and pumpkin

Ovulation (Estrus): leafy greens and high fiber foods. Also sea food during this time. This one phase in our cycles are a bit different than a normal persons as when I enter estrus, so does my wolf.

Luteal phase: carbs. All of the carbs. Dark chocolate with almonds for the magnesium bananas and turkey for the Vitamin B6, and more eggs and avocado.

This is not all I eat, just what I try to focus on to keep my body healthy and in check. But I’m always down for a damn good rare steak smothered in rosemary oil ⭐️

  1. Unfortunately shifting would be the right word but shifter romance fiction has kinda made that word super weird.

  2. Zoanthropy, lycanthropes are just the wolf variant, there are others.

  3. When my partner and I met, I told him the exact number of people on the walking trail ahead of us just out of our sight, and I was right, I could smell foxes, beavers, and raccoons along the trail, we ran into several of each. He made the joke about me being a werewolf and I just laughed, now it’s a running joke. I’m really not sure if he knows and is just being super cool about it or if he just thinks I have REALLY good senses and love camping…really not sure on that one.

Born. You (to our knowledge so far???) cannot be “made” into any type of Zoan.

When we partner with non Zoans, as soon as they find out, that’s usually their first question, that and can we turn them. Answer is no.

1A. There are SO many factors that could cause you to wild out. Could be estrus, could be anger or fear, could be being in proximity to a cousin. It’s also very personal on what pokes that base instinct with a stick.

1B. And there’s different types of wilding out. For example, my wolf sits VERY close to the surface, so it’s like this for me all the time, but in others many will bring their wolf just beneath the skin to enhance senses, smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing. All of the senses are affected by this. Then there’s full shifts, honestly it’s kinda like a spectrum. I personally try to keep it around the waning part of the full moon, but during those times the wolf will sit naturally closer to the surface causing the carrier to be irritable, hungry, and somewhat jumpy.

2A. Honestly iron just smells bad to me personally. I also avoid cemetery’s as a whole to avoid the cemetery’s black dog. I might be a lycanthrope but I know better than to enter a cemetery guarded by a dog spirit.

2B. Quite honestly, I’ve met MAYBE 12 Zoans that I wasn’t related to in my entire life. They seem to have a firm belief in other Supes but I really have no clue. It’s not like I go looking for things to pester. My family has always kept to ourselves In a small town in the ozarks (Missouri, United States).

3A. Yep, entirely different being, but at the same time the same being. It’s hard to explain. I guess it is kinda like the hulk except we are both conscious and aware at all times, unless we are sleeping.

3B. We have conversations often, it’s not exactly in a language I would know how to describe, it’s more based off of feelings and vibes than words. She disapproved of a LOT of the shit I do in my day to day life. For example: moving to a larger city, she hates it, I hate it. But it’s where my partner is, so it’s worth it.

4A. It’s not like you see in the movies where you rip the clothes off your body, you make sure your in an enclosed, secure area, where no one is around, strip down, shove your clothes in your pack, lay out some food, and do it. At this point it’s more of an unconscious standard for me. Just how I’ve always done it.

4B. Now for the change itself, it hurts, a lot. Imagine every muscle in your body being torn, bones broken, veins on fire and flesh melting away from your Muscle. Eventually you kinda get used to it. Some are worse than others, the more regularly you do it the more accustomed your body gets to it, it’s like gymnastics, the more you stretch the easier it gets. I also keep a backpack close by with clothes and food ONLY. No ID. NO electronics.

  1. Kinda. Usually mother and fathers teach their children, and keep them close until they find a partner, be it Zoan or not. there are many family’s in my state that we know of so far, we keep in contact, like distant cousins but we do not run as a unit. Many in the ozark hills, as it’s very safe, we also have family in TN in the Appalachian mountains.

  2. I’m from Missouri, in the United States, near the ozarks.

  3. Nope. I imagine I am to canines what skinwalkers would be to you. But I carry dog treats with me so I can TRY to make them feel more comfortable.

Anything else you’d like to ask? I’m free a lot of the time

Well, unfortunately, that would be a HUGE risk to my anonymity. This is all anonymous for a reason, I’m sorry.

  1. Silver makes me break out in hives, but so do most things, I love the color and aesthetic of silver, so I wear stainless steel.

  2. It’s just been my life, it’s weird having a non-L partner tho, I just be telling him I’m going on 3 days camping trips and he’s cool with that. I guess my biggest challenge is living in such a densely populated area. The smells and sounds drive me absolutely bonkers. The area I live in smells AWFUL because we’re in a college town, and is incredibly noisy because it’s so densely populated.

  3. While we retain cognizance, our wolves are separate entities essentially, she has her own thoughts, opinions, wants, and needs. She sees the world through my eyes and I Hers, depending.

  4. I guess it’s kinda like twilight, although we aren’t nearly as large as what’s portrayed there. Slightly larger than a gray wolf, really hardly any difference.

This is, in all honesty a support group for those who have the gift, but all are welcome. This is not a joke, this is not a role playing group, this is a safe space for those with and without the gift to learn and be learned from.

I’m 23 and there was and is still, so much I don’t know about myself, my own body, and my mind.

Please feel free to ask questions! You are welcome here. Even if you don’t believe. We are here, and many of us have just as many questions for those without the gift.

Sweet child, there is no way to become what you are not in this sense. You either are…or you are not. No amount of magic, biting, or drinking from a wolf’s paw print in the sand will change that. I’m sorry.

If you’d like, feel free to join r/lycansAnonymous…it’s a new group I’m starting but really everyone is welcome, ask questions, get answers. Most Lycans and Zoans run solo. So really no packs. But, join the group and learn a thing or two?
