yeah. :( but not pancho. i do not want to play bel in a pancho-less world, that would be TOO SAD. either she's a were-wolverine park ranger, and he'll meet her when he signs up for search and rescue, or she's an army doctor who's still on deployment and they email all the time, i haven't decided.
so the planning thread is just about as good if not better than the current woofs thread and i just wanted to say that i love it and you guys rock.
i love how erskin was so utterly clueless about autism. like, that he hadn't heard anything about it ever. and that he was pretty accepting once bel explained what it was. that was really cute and so him. and well, i like the idea of someone approaching the concept for the first time like that, having literally never being exposed to any of the modern human cultural baggage around it, seeing it with fresh eyes. it really is one of those moments that makes it clear how separate from the human world and its stuff erskin is.
erskin: *names bel "sirius"* erskin: *is probs one of the few people in the world that haven't read harry potter* :D
... I find it hard to imagine that somone isn't listening in on their conversation and going, "wait... what?" Possibly because not imagining it is less funny. ... think the weird-quotient in this universe is anywhere near high enough for an eavesdropper to suddenly be like, "Ooooh, I get it," then wander off thinking something totally off-base like "Little early out for vampires though isn't it?" ... nah, neither of them would pass for vampires, too scarred up and outdoorsy-like... though Erskine in human form would probably pass pretty easily as "secretly a raccoon." Assuming the hypothetical observer was not themselves secretly a raccoon. ... though who knows, maybe they have a head-cold and their secret-raccoon-dar has never been great. ... though that guy would probably have no initial "Wait what?" reaction, so nvm. *train of thought has forgotten the rails, is now frolicking in the dandelion field* *has no excuse really, mostly just likes to chase raccoons*
this is really cool to read, thanks for the input! i was under the impression that the 'roached' back was bred in on purpose and considered to be a good thing. but if that sloping curve is mostly posture, erskin would definitely have taught himself to mimic it. one of these AU's we'll have erskin actually be a legitimate spy and it will be fun and bel will probably have a million whyboners. i think erskin wouldn't be trying to mimic malamute and husky positions, because it would only emphasize how much more 'wolfish' and wild he looks than them them: the big feet, the narrow chest and snout, etc. but maybe he would just to play around!
haha i can actually see galley pissing on Knife Wolf's tent too (well, [maybe] not if Knife Wolf is Actually Bel, not Some Random Wolf With A Knife, but yeah... i was basically like, "i think i know who else would do that" so yeah... liveblog observation recorded here, even if it turns out that it is hella inaccurate ooc fanon galley that i'm talking about, not hella accurate ic canon galley.) i think bel has a type
(i hope you guys don't think i confused galley with erskin, 'cause the way i wrote it, it probably sounds like it. if you were confused what i basically meant was like, "erskin would piss on Knife Wolf's tent, huh? well, guess who else i think would piss on it - galley. that seems like something both of them'd do, that they both have the personality to do. guess bel has a type. but maybe i'm wrong.")
