@wolfstarmicrofic March 27 – prompt 27: Expecto Patronum – word count 670
Expecto Patronum - The Patronus Charm is a powerful projection of hope and happiness that drives away Dementors
A part of Remus knew it had been a bad idea, but that part had been drowning for the past hours in the alcohol, the hate for all the Christmas decorations everywhere, the cold, the ache of the second full moon the wolf spent desperately howling for his friends, only to tear himself apart when they failed to show up.
So that part was pretty quiet when he stopped in front of the tombstone, shivering from the cold.
“Hey Lils. Hey Prongs,” he slurred, raising the half-empty bottle to his friends’ names. “Merry Christmas.”
He took a swig and swayed on his feet. The cold was getting worse, but he didn’t care. After all, he had lost everything he had ever cared for. Maybe he could just lie down by Lily and James and fall asleep there and never wake up. He started shivering, and a movement in the corner of his eye made him turn around.
“Fuck,” he groaned.
Not far from him, a hooded figure was hovering by a tombstone rapidly covering in frost. He should have thought about that, really. The Wizarding World was still in such turmoil it was only logical a place so important like Lily and James’s tomb in Godric’s Hollow would be guarded by one of the Dementors Azkaban could spare. Even their son, wherever he was, must have some around.
“They’re my friends,” Remus whispered, his teeth chattering.
The Dementor glided forward and Remus stumbled back as the cold seeped into his bones and distant voices exploded in his head.
“Remus… Something awful has happened…”
The bottle fell from his hand.
“It’s not possible… Sirius wouldn’t…”
“I guess he lived up to his family name after all. I’m sorry Remus, I should have seen it coming.”
He knocked his back into James and Lily’s tombstone. The Dementor crept closer.
“Pete knew he couldn’t beat Sirius in a duel, it doesn’t make sense he went after him!”
“Grief makes us all act in ways we wouldn’t normally, Remus.”
He fumbled in his pocket, searching for his wand.
“I know I’m not his godfather or anything, but can I at least see him? For his parents’ sake.”
“He’ll be safer with his blood family, believe me. Pick up the pieces, Remus. Learn how to move on.”
Remus brandished his wand. He knew the spell and he knew he had been able to cast a fully-fledged Patronus, who ironically was in the shape of a wolf. But all that had been before. His hand trembled.
“I don’t even know if I have anything left you can take,” he whispered.
The Dementor didn’t stop advancing. If Remus was being honest with himself, it didn’t make sense. Dementors were guards, they had no business attacking someone who wasn’t doing any harm, but maybe it didn’t matter. It wouldn’t be worse than what he had lived through in the last weeks. Maybe it would even be better.
But as the Dementor glided even closer, the wolf reared up his head somewhere inside him, survival instinct kicking in. Images flooded Remus’s mind, of the Forbidden Forest and his friends galloping by his side, of the same friends by his bed when he woke up in the Hospital Wing, of smiles, and laughter, and hand holding and warmth, so much warmth…
“EXPECTO PATRONUM!”
He braced himself against the tombstone while the silver form leaped out of his wand and chased the Dementor across the graveyard until it disappeared somewhere. Remus exhaled. Apparently, he wouldn’t die that day. He looked up to his Patronus as it padded back to him and froze.
“No…” he breathed. “Please, no…”
He had read about what shock and grief could do to the spell, but nothing in those books had mentioned cruelty.
“No…” he repeated, his eyes filling with tears.
He let himself slide to the ground, his back pressed against the cold marble of his best friends’ tombstone. In front of him, glittering with the silver light of the spell, Padfoot wagged his tail.

Wolf-ji 🤡
Toji x fem!reader
17+: Toji being a perv, swearing, described nudity I think. Somewhat creepy ig, he likes watching you do stuff. No smut, but it’s kinda spicy. Use of 2nd POV (you, your) rather than 3rd (she,her).
Notes: Keep in mind that he has the mind of a human, so don’t take it wrong 🤝 This man is my brain rot 🤤 lmk if I need to raise the age warning
Genre: Fluff/Crack, spicy idk
Toji had no fucking clue where he was. He expected hell to be… a lot less looking like a city alleyway. He tried to lift himself, rather than feeling like his legs they were bent at an uncomfortable looking angle. Pain flared in his left arm, he bent his head to see a bullet wound, a nasty one that kept on bleeding.
“The fuck?” He stretched as best he could, looking around for some sort of item that would give him his reflection. Luckily, there was a abandoned mirror, cracked and without purpose. Toji began to limp over to the reflector, his legs stiff rather than it’s normal nimble movements.
“Oh fuckin’ hell-“
Okay, so maybe going grocery shopping late at night might be a bad idea—especially since there’ll be all sorts of creeps walking around. Not to mention it’s freezing out there, but it’s too late. You’ve already stepped out of the store and onto the empty sidewalk, and if this was the Wild West there’d be tumble weeds rolling from view. You shiver, beginning your journey back to the safe confines of your home.
The store you frequented was your favorite, and the farthest… so to save time you’d take shortcuts through alleyways. Today would be the first time you were doing it late at night.
You stare into the darkness of the passageway in front of you, anxiety bubbling in your stomach.
“Quick… nice and quick…” you hype yourself up before storming ahead, using a quick pace to get you to the other side. The deeper you went, the darker it became and soon the only thing illuminating the alley was the clouded moonlight from above.
From ahead of you, you suddenly see a pair of eyes, gazing right back at you with a stern emerald green color.
You screamed as the eyes began to rapidly get closer, accompanied by the sounds of claws hitting against the ground. You dodged, reversing yourself and pressing your back to the alleyway’s wall. A harsh tug came from your grocery bag, which almost ripped your arm right off your torso. Muffled growling came from the creature that was trying to steal your food. Luckily, you recognized the creature that was attacking you, it was some dumb dog.
This made you enraged and frustrated, this shit costed you a good chunk of the money saved from the leftovers after you payed bills—and the bills around here ain’t cheap.
“Bitch!-“
🌌
Toji is one lucky bastard. Perhaps this was god giving him a 2nd chance at life- their weird way of dishing out redemption.
Somehow, he was able to worm his way into the chick-he-was-about-to-rob’s heart. Life’s good for the man-turned-wolf, he’s got free food, a roof to live under, and no rent to pay. A bargain in his mind. The only downside being he won’t be able to fuck around anymore, and he sure as hell is NOT gonna fuck a dog.
You felt bad for the dog, the moment you saw it’s form when you scrambled out the alleyway. It wasn’t scrawny, but it wasn’t very lean either. It had a scar present on the right side of it’s mouth, sharp green eyes and dirty matte black fur. It sustained a limp arm, a recent wound most likely the reason why it didn’t go all out on you.
You couldn’t really just walk away from a hurt animal, the guilt would eat you up the moment you turned your back. You were also studying to be a vet, moments like this were what you meant for. So you left some food, ran home to fetch a med kit, and returned with your car.
Here you were now, caring for one big ass dog who kept stealing your food—even though you bought him his own food.
You named him Toji, mainly because that scar on the dogs mouth was hella familiar to the Toji you fawned over in Jujutsu Kaisen. He looked at you weirdly when you said that, but snorted a moment later and stalked off to your TV set.
The strange thing about him was that he apparently knew how to operate cable TV, which amazed you yet weirded you out at the same time.
You noticed Toji naps a lot, and wakes up whenever you turn on Netflix. He’ll eagerly sit next to you, sometimes snacking (read stealing) popcorn whenever you make some.
For some reason he likes tuning in whenever you play any anime episodes, especially Jujutsu Kaisen. Whenever Fushiguro comes onto screen Toji’s fluffy tail begins to wag a bit, which you giggle at. He’ll catch you looking and snap at you, which causes you to furthermore laugh at. In the end he’ll end up tackling you onto the couch.
🌌
Toji often feels bored in your household. Nothing really for him to do since he’s apparently a dog now. Nothing to do other than follow you into the bathroom whenever you’re going to shower, keeping a keen eye on every curve of your body. Nothing to do other than watch the fat of your ass lower into his view when you have to bend over to clean up a mess you of him might’ve made.
Nothing to do other than create smutty fantasies of you in his head from when he was human, imagining what your cute little moans would sound like with you under him. Nothing to do other than watch your tits bounce whenever you two go out for a jog in the early morning. Nothing to do other than take a nap between your legs, resting his head on your stomach or between your breast whenever he can. Nothing to do but wish your pretty lips were wrapped around his cock instead of that popsicle you were sucking on a hot summer day.
Toji was a lucky bastard. And lucky bastards get what they want.
🌌
“Toji? Toooojiiii, breakfast! Where’d the hell you go?” You called out, turning the house upside down as you looked for him.
“Toji?” The only place you haven’t looked was the guest bathroom, and currently the door was closed shut. You could hear shuffling from inside, which made you wonder how the dog could’ve closed the door. Without warning, you swiftly pulled open the door.
“What’s going on in her-“ You stopped mid sentence, mouth agape at the figure who stood in front of your bathroom’s vanity. You both stared each other down, your eyes blown wide open while his were glued to yours without emotion. It was a stare down for what seemed like ages, until the familiar man broke the silence.
“What?”
You screamed, and you wished it was without the s because it was embarrassing. He flinched at your volume and seemed to disappear for millisecond, only to return right in front of you, hand on your mouth.
“Jesus Christ- I know you’re a loud mouthed brat but now’s not the time to scream yer’ lungs out,” He huffed, “You can do that later,” The man smirked, you could feel your face flush a bit. After a sec, he hesitantly let go of your mouth. Your mouth was left agape again as Hulu blinked wildly in disbelief at the hulking man in front of you.
“I- wait a fucking second… where’s my dog!?” The man just deadpanned at you, you took this time to eye him up and down. His skin tight shirt had a massive part of it missing on it’s left side, dark splotches of blood surrounding it. The familiar man, however, seemed completely fine.
“C’mon, is it not obvious!?”
“No!? It’s not possible for some anime character to come to life!?” At this you dashed out the room, running into the kitchen to nab your phone to call 911. Before you could even pick it up from the counter, the phone was snatched at lightning speed.
“Hey-!” You whipped around, immediately meeting a stone hard chest.
You were trapped.
“What do I gotta do to prove ‘m real, huh?”
💫
Omfg this is so ooc 💀 writing in character is hard.
If anyone’s confused Toji died and reincarnated into a dead dog’s body that looks exactly like him. During the night get went back to the jjk dimension, shibuya happens, and he returns back human.

LU Superhero AU Rambling
It’s so hard to write my thoughts about my Superhero AU into words, so let’s skip a good chunk of the lore and talk about the Links. I’m going to be a bit incoherent because I am very tired right now.
Sky - So for starters there are Blessings and there are Powers. Powers are typically biological and Blessings are well, blessings from the gods. In Sky’s case, his Blessing was his prophetic dreams from Hylia. His Power is um, honestly somewhat body horror so I won’t describe it too much. To put it simply, he grows a bunch of wings, like a biblically accurate angel. And he has a bunch of feathers. Anyways, his Power is a secret to everyone, including Sun, mostly because he recently discovered that he had this power. Everyone else just thinks that his Blessing is actually his Power. So he doesn’t go out into the fray often, but he is good friends with all of the Heroes and Knights. He also goes go-karting with Wild.
Wild - Okay, it’s crazy time now. So Wild used to be a Hero in training and Flora’s personal Knight, but then the Calamity struck(which was much shorter compared to canon because modern AU) and he lost his memories while the other Champions lost their lives. As well as a bunch of other people like Wild’s entire family but let’s not worry about that. He got trapped in a multiple month coma while Flora held the Calamity in place. Then Wild woke up and helped end the Calamity. He didn’t wield the Master Sword for long(he physically couldn’t after he woke up, it burned him and sapped away his life force)but he did speed run fixing the Divine Beasts and gaining the Champion’s Power, since his Power is being able to use the Powers of ghost/spirits. But he kept this Power a secret mainly because he was in complete and utter denial about the ghosts of his friends following him around. He still thinks that he’s just gone crazy, because he would rather have that.
Twilight - Heheh. So, he doesn’t have a Power but does have a Blessing, which is his ability to turn into a wolf. He parades around in his wolf most of the time, the public believing that he’s just a magic wolf spirit that decided to protect humans. Time also used to do that, so everyone thinks the two wolves are related somehow. Twilight and Time are actually cousins in this AU, because they have to be related somehow. He has a heavy face of goth makeup to cover up his markings whenever he wants to go out. But he generally just stays in wolf form most of the time, his Hylian form having the wolf pelt covering his face-with the Hawkeye mask on underneath it-so that when he is forced to transition into a Hylian, no one would know who he was. He also doesn’t talk too much while disguised, only talking to Wild and Red.
Time - He’s a Hero, but not for the reasons you think. He doesn’t use his Power, or even most of his masks, he’s just a great fighter and can be very intimidating. He wears the Mask of Truth almost all the time while on duty, with some people thinking that it allows him to read the minds of his opponents. It doesn’t do that, but it does helps him talk to Twi while he’s in wolf form. When not on duty, he’s on the farm, with his lovey wife Malon and occasionally blessed with the appearance of Twi in his full face of goth makeup. Time knows that the wolf is Twi but doesn’t tell him, it’s a lot funnier this way.
Wars - So there was this time war that no one remembers except for him, Lana, Commander(aka Artemis but I don’t like calling her that sry), and General Impa. So most know of Wars as an exceptionally excellent Knight turned Hero, who is currently training a younger Hero, Wind. Wars’ Power is the ability to use and identify different magical attributes, like Light, Dark, Fire, Water, and Lightning. Also because of the time war, everything kinda got messed up. Basically, it’s the cause of this AU every existing. Wars is very aware of this. He feels very responsible for this, because the whole thing started because Cia is a horrible person and wanted to be with him.
Wind - His Hero name is Wind Waker. Need I say more. He has wind powers. I honestly can’t think of much for him rn, I’m so sorry.
Four - He still hides the fact that he can split into four, but now he is split into four all the time while on duty. Legend is the only one who is aware of this, mainly because he had used the 4Sword before. Four’s Power is being able to turn into a Minish. Also Red is besties with Wolf Twi, they care so much about each other it’s so cute and I wish I could share all my thoughts about it. But alas, I am not going to, because I am far too tired.
Legend - The most famous Hero, unfortunately. He has no Powers of his own, but he does have a fuck ton of magical items and is very skilled with them. Before the story starts he had just came back from Hytopia, being a Triforce Ranger and having the time of his life. But now he has the Power to move his soul between the Doppels, and potentially…other vessels. He’s not going to tell anybody about this, of course not. Currently is training Hyrule, because he feels like Hyrule is connected to him, somehow.
Hyrule - He has a lot of Powers, he is the magic man. He’s a Hero in training even though he already saved two Zeldas, but that’s partially because his area of Hyrule he was from was far away from the area of Hyrule the story’s set. They don’t know much about him and his Zeldas.
Also this is all subject to change and may not be indicative of my actual thoughts and plans for this AU since I am not great at explaining things, especially right now.
#linked universe#linked universe au#lu sky#lu wild#lu twilight#lu time#lu warriors#lu wind#lu four#lu legend#lu hyrule#super hero au#god this kept getting more and more incoherent as I wrote on. literally have to stop myself because no one would understand what I’m saying#I barely understand what I was saying ngl#I’ll uh revisit this one day#I got a lot to say about four twi and wild specially#fever rambles

Cool and spooky-ish Portuguese legends and mythological creatures because it's nearly Halloween!!
I've been wanting to do this for a while now, because I've felt disconnected from Portuguese culture lately and I'm trying to get into it. So I wanted to share some cool things I found because Portuguese folklore is something no one talks about and I love to share my culture with people! Please be warned that the translations may sound kinda awkward and that this is almost 100% from Wikipedia since Portuguese mythological creatures are a super obscure topic, and the only other big resource I could find was a super expensive book. That being said, the Wikipedia sounds pretty legit because it sounds like it was written by an old person.
Now let's get into some of my favourites!
Werewolf
This is a basic one but I still find it pretty funny. When I visited Cova do Lobisomem (trans.: Werewolf Cave), I learnt that the legend there is that, if you have twelve kids, the eldest son (in the story it was a son, but I don't know what happens if your eldest is a girl) becomes a werewolf and has to go live out in the wilderness. Another closely related legend mentions they have to serve some kind of penitence, but I found nothing on it.
Peeira (or "werewolf fairy")
Known as the "female version of the werewolf" and is able to control wolf packs. Her power seems to be guiding these wolf packs by being a reasonable and more human-like figure in the group, and is described as "lovely and wild" (omg that sounds sooo pretty). Information contradicts in this bit, also saying that she either has feelings for the werewolves or that she lures men into the woods to feed them to her ghost-wolves. A girl becomes a Peeira by being a couple's seventh oldest daughter, or by being called upon by her "predestined/soulmate werewolf".
Bisarma
Ghost of colossal size that can stand over valleys with one foot on each mountain, and sing monotonous tunes in "huge voices" (idk how else to translate it). This mythological creature also shows up in parts of Spain.
Jã
Weaving spirits. If you leave out a bunch of linen and a cake, they'll make you a linen cloth as fine as a hair, but if you forget to leave out the cake, they'll burn the linen. Apparently, people used to claim their ancestors had sheets made by the Jãs.
Zorra Berradeira (trans.: "Screaming Fox")
Shows up in Algarve every 7 years and, when it's not there, it's theorized that it visits other countries. It's a fox spirit that screams all the time but can be heard better at midnight or midday and, if you mock it, it will chase you down until your death.
Velha da Égua Branca (trans.: Old Lady on the White Mare)
Appears in Algarve on full moon nights and makes a lot of noise in the fields with pots and pans. She rides a white mare, wears a white cap with red ribbons that look like lightning, and holds a knife in her left hand. She's been called a "personification of the night".
Homem do Chapéu de Ferro (trans.: Man in the Iron Hat)
Another spirit from Algarve, but evil. He appears at midnight on the sides of roads and fountains, or under olive or fig trees. He's always accompanied by an animal, which is the Devil in disguise: either a black pig, a huge black rooster, or a deer with antlers as tall as a church tower. He has a gigantic frame, is "bronze-coloured" (whatever that means) and wears an iron hat. He'll run away when he sees the Old Lady on the White Mare (oooooh Algarvian connected universe).
Hey, people who live in Algarve, blink twice if you need help with all the supernatural shit because this seems disproportionately hardcore
Okay, this next one is gonna be longer because it's a whole legend with a plot, but I still want to tell it because it's kinda spooky and I love it!!
The Golden Lamprey
On full moon nights, on the banks of the Minho River (northern border with Spain), you can see a very beautiful Moorish girl with golden hair caressing a giant golden lamprey. The girl spends the night combing her hair with a golden comb or singing a sad melody, and the lamprey swims close to her.
According to legend, the lamprey had once been a Portuguese knight, and the girl had been engaged to another man. The two had been sentenced to death for their forbidden romance and had both been cursed - he turned into a fish and she can only gain physical form under the full moon.
There were men who set out in boats to search for the girl, either to seduce her or to steal her fine silk dress, but none ever found her.
Until one night, a young man disappeared after being heard in the tavern, clearly drunk, declaring that he was going to search for the golden-haired Moorish girl. His plan was to make her fall in love with him, sell her comb, and then open an inn where he'd let curious travellers take a look at this supernatural river girl in exchange for large sums of money.
The next day, the lantern he'd set out with was found on some rocks near the river by a few fishers, and his body was found in the water, a bit further ahead. On his neck, there were the marks of small, sharp teeth, similar to the shape of a lamprey's mouth. But what startled the fishers more was the satisfied look on the young man's face. (not posting a pic of a lamprey's mouth bc it feels like it would warrant some kind of content warning but pls do look it up if you're curious, it's horrifying)
There was also another legend of another cursed Moorish girl but on a rock this time that I remembered reading in school, but I genuinely cannot find it. If you know anything about a story named "A Moura do Penedo" (not the cursed snake princess one) pls hit me up, I remember loving that one as a kid. "Cursed Moorish girl" is such a common trope in Portuguese legends that it's almost unsearchable.
And if you want to add anything or correct any of the information I presented, please feel free! This is very much "baby's first dive into Portuguese folklore"
That being said, I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did! There are other less-spooky legends I'd love to share, if you're interested! Happy Halloween/other coinciding spooky holiday!
#why are there so many cursed moorish girls#why are they just out there. in the wilderness.#why do so many have combs#and portuguese boyfriends#on that hand we stan the lamprey dude for killing the creep who tried to seduce his gf#wtf do they have going on in Algarve#like seriously#on another note#idk why but i loooooove Peeiras#something about them gives me brainrot and idk what it is#they just have Vibes#i wanna talk more about them#also Bisarmas are so cool#one foot on each mountain going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#cool lil gigantic dudes#not writing#portugal ramblies#long post#portuguese folklore#portuguese legend#folklore#mythological creatures#werewolves#halloween

Aleu's unawareness about being part wolf issue
Earlier I mentioned about the main problems of Balto-2 and its contradictions to the original Balto here, I still have something to say.
Let's talk about Aleu's problem. The thing is that she has no prerequisites for drama and conflict, because they were resolved in the original film. Hence in the sequel there's no reason for Balto to be ashamed of his wolf side ('cause he accepted his wolf side and realized who he truly is), and there's no reason for townfolks to discriminate Balto's pups for wolf traits, because Balto saved kids of Nome and became hero, so people finally realized his nobility. Aleu would have been adopted first as a pup, who is almost the copy of a wolfdog hero.
I have no idea, why the sequel's crew literally devalued, erased and ignored these pivotal moments and arcs of the original film.
But if to go in the direction of the sequel, where Balto literally despises wolf side, considering it as his curse, and portays dogs as superior and is afraid of a wolf-like pup being born and being rejected by humans due to wolf traits... I have some questions.
First of all, if Jenna and especially Balto worried about wolf-like pup, why to make puppies in the first place? I mean, they have to know, that there was a possibility of all their litter being wolf-like, not dog-like. They can't love each other as a couple without offspring or what?
Second, why Jenna's owners allowed to their dog to mate with a stray wolfdog, if the sequel chose to state that people don't trust to wolfdogs? And third, why Jenna's owners didn't adopt Balto and especially Aleu themselves, if they were okay with Balto being Jenna's mate and a father of her pups?
I mean, Rosie (Jenna's young owner) is still the little girl, who likes Balto, so she would be happy to adopt Aleu no matter what. But the sequel just ignores her existence, so Rosie is totally absent here.
But my the biggest issue there is Balto's attempts to hide from Aleu the wolf heritage, so only after the year he is forced to reveal this to her only after she encountered a hunter. My question is clear — how Aleu was able to not know about being part wolf so long? She knows that wolves are wild animals, and even if she never saw wolf, she has to be aware of the fact that wolves howl — why she never noticed that she always howls? Even though huskies howl too, the implication is that they kinda howl differently (in the movie, at least).
From another side, it is weird that the hunter thought she is a wolf. I mean, he is from different village/town, so he is unaware about wolfdogs from Nome? Moreover, Aleu has blue eyes, which can have only huskies, and her fur color (she isn't grey, she's more sandy-red) and markings on nose and legs also show that she is a husky. The hunter would never think that she is a wolf. He would think that Balto is a wolf, because he looks like a normal grey wolf with wolf markings on face and legs.
Returning to my question — how could Aleu be unaware about being part wolf so long? The movie shows that all these months she lived with Balto in his ship, as if he kept her as far away from Nome as possible, basically in isolation. At the same time Balto himself here barely mentions that some dogs still tease him for being half-wolf. So, how Aleu couldn't know about being part wolf, if every dog or human, kid or adult, could briefly say about Balto's wolf nature during puppy adoption scene?
And why there are still dogs, who bully him, if in the original film they finally accepted him? Why Balto doesn't kick their butts for bullying toward him or his daughter by this logic? It really gives impression that he hid Aleu from dogs and humans, raising her on his ship in isolation basically only for not letting her to know that she is a wolfdog.
From another side, there's another logical hole and plot hole — Balto allows to Aleu to walk and play in the forest. WHY?!
Might I remind you, how far away the woods and the mountains are from Nome. Let's see the original film: only path to the mountains, which surround Nome, is 3+ miles long, and also dozens of miles to the forest.
The forest is far far away from mountains as well:
And look at the sequel:
So, why Balto allowed to her to walk and to play in the forest FAR FAR AWAY FROM NOME, if there's a big chance to encounter not only a hunter or dangerous wild animals, but also wolves?!
P.S. Especially funny to see, how Balto, the fastest dog of Nome, doesn't try to stop Aleu from running into the wild.

playing twilight princess again years later with a better understanding of my queer identity and this line really resonated with me
more musings under the break
(be warned that this is pretty unorganized i'm just letting my thoughts spill)
i played twilight princess when it first came out on gamecube december of 2006. i don't remember that playthrough. i don't remember the thoughts i had about everything in the game. all i know is i loved it and i played it over and over again. but i don't remember thinking much of it past being a game
since the last time i actually sat down and played it, which has to be over 10 years ago, i've watched countless reviews and speedruns and what have you. those replaced my memories of this game. so i decided i want to play this game again and actually pay attention to it
Link as a character stands out so much to me now. Being able to pick up dogs and cats and pet goats was always just a mechanical thing i noticed, but i never thought about it narratively. The reason this is the only game you can do that is because this Link loves animals. He works on a farm and lives in nature. He's kind but also has a feral side to him, which makes his transformation into a wolf so fucking perfect. I always just thought it was random that he became a wolf but there's no better animal for him to be. Canines are used for herding, just like his job, but he's also wild and undomesticated. He does everything he does because he chooses to, because he's a good person
And because he has that love for animals i don't see the wolf form as a curse as i once did. It's just another side of him, one that the people he knows shuns because they don't recognize him. But in that form he can finally communicate with the animals he's already felt that connection to
Another thing about TP that i never really got til now is Link stepping into the hero's role. Like, now i can understand how that can feel, moving on from your simple routine and doing something you HAVE to do. Like now being an adult on my own there's a lot of parallels there
One last thing i want to talk about is how i forgot how TP is just straight up an OoT sequel. Sure it's pretty far removed but this is still OoT ganondorf and Link is getting the inherited power from OoT Link, who is also the one teaching him secret sword techniques throughout the game. The only way to beat Ganondorf is with the final blow, which OoT teaches you. This is still the same fight from OoT, just many many many years later. It just kinda makes critics complaining that it's a retread of OoT look stupid honestly, cuz like of course the same themes are gonna come up, TP Link has to go through the same journey (also the games are so fucking different i still don't understand the criticism)
Anyway if you read all of that, thank you
#loz#and yes i'm gonna read the TP manga after i'm done#i read part of whatever what translated years ago#i only got to just before goron mines so i might make more posts as i play through#doop replays tp#i'll give it a tag just in case

Self-Rec Game!
Thank you @chimknj for tagging me in this as it gave me a reason to go back and look through my fics again! 💗
There are currently 74 posted with my name on AO3 O.o
So that’s why it took me a little while to decide on my personal favs. I noticed that most of them have fantasy elements (hybrids, magic etc.) so I guess my love for fantasy is kinda showing in my writing too ;D
Anyways, here are my own top 10‘s!
1. Give me your hand and I'll hold it
LINK
Fandom: Stray kids
Pairing: Bangchan x everyone (not necessarily sexual, btw)
AU: wolf pack
Chan is living together with the other six members of his pack. It’s a calm life - until one day he runs into a fellow wolf named Minho. The other looks scared and Chan tries to help but taking Minho in isn’t as easy as it first seemed – because Minho can’t get away from his past.
My latest fic and one of my first stray kids ones I posted.
I was a little bit nervous because of the fandom switch - so I’m really happy about all the kudos, sweet comments and positive feedback I’ve gotten so far :)
2. Lost and Found
(written with @softjeon, like the following fics)
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairing: YoonKook
AU: Hybrids; Pika-hybrid!Jungkook x human!Yoongi
Jungkook as a pika Hybrid is just so cute! If you don’t know what Pikas look or sound like you should totally look them up for an extra serotonin boost :3
I don’t want to spoil too much but after the angst there’s lots of cuteness, so it’s worth it I promise ;)
3. Birds of a feather
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairing: YoonKook
AU: Hybrids; Eagle-owl!Yoongi x white-tailed-Kite!Jungkook
Another hybrid one, another yoonkook – and yet this has a completely different vibe!
I loved the whole idea with the mating ceremony and the nest building and it was fun to describe the different feathers and looks!
Yoongi cleaning Kookie’s wings at the lake... *sighs dreamily* I just really enjoyed this universe
4. Home
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairing/main characters: Namjoon and Yoongi (platonic)
AU: Hybrids; Arcticfox-hybrid!Yoongi & human!Namjoon
Another hybrid one, this time platonic, with Namjoon stumbling completely unprepared into being a hybrid owner. More exactle, the owner of an arctic-fox-hybrid who’s still half wild and anything but tame. Yoongi cherishes his freedom more than anything… at least in the beginning ;)
5. Caim
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairing: NamGi
AU: Magic, Witch!Yoongi x human! Namjoon
Closely followed by „Color me in“ where BTS are all witches and Jungkook has to figure out his magic) but I really like Yoongi as a witch in this one. I think he just fits the magic!Aesthetics so perfectly <3
Namjoon finds Yoongi with a little help from Yoongi’s cat who likes messing with his owner. They’re both interested in each other – but then Namjoon catches Yoongi doing spell work, the spell goes wrong and suddenly Namjoon is marked by a deadly curse!
Not gonna spoil the ending though ;)
6. The perfect Illusion
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairings: MinJoon, YoonKook
AU: Geisha/TeahouseAU with Namjoon and Yoongi falling for Geisha!Jimin and Maiko!Jungkook
This one is a classical hurt/comfort one about the fates of two people in a teahouse: Jimin as a Geisha and Jungkook as the Maiko he took under his wings. It’s a colorful, dramatic AU with 81k to enjoy!
Please read the tags first though to make sure you’re aware of the TWs!
7. Drown in me
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairings: YoonKook
AU: PirateAU, with Captain!Yoongi and Siren!Jungkook
I simply LOVE seacreatures!
Especially with mermay happening right now, this is a great read for you if you like exciting quests by ship, including pirates and a splash of magic ;)
8. Wolfsbane
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairings: YoonKook
AU: WolfpackAU
It was a close call between this and „Everything you’re not“ (another wolfpack-AU, with Jikook as a wolf-and-human-pairing) but „Wolfsbane“ won, because I adore Jungkook as this wild and playful newly turned wolf who rushes head on into lone-wolf-Yoongi’s life. There’s an old feud between Yoongi and the pack that took Jungkook in (the rest of BTS) and …
you’ll have to read it to find out what it was about and what will happen to Yoongi and Jungkook ;)
9. Through the Veil
LINK
Fandom: BTS
Pairings: YoonKook
AU: Demon/UnderworldAU; demon!Yoongi x (spoilers!XD)Jungkook
Number nine is this monster here!
TTV is unbelievable 126 k long and contains Jungkook summoning demon!Yoongi by accident who then pulls him into a world of mythical creatures and gods, where Jungkook has to face the underworld and decide between life and death.
10.And, last but not least, number ten, equally shared by these two „Oldies“
Speed Lane (a MinJoon racer!Au) and Solanacea
(a MinJoon fic which is summarized as „How a gang leader fell for a cute little stripper by accident“. It’s a full on GangAU that’s connected with „Colorblind“,another story in the same universe.)
They are both a little older but that’s exactly why they came to mind.
It was back when iI still put way too much thought into what to name the chapters for each fic, „Speed Line“ even had an extra part where I explained their meaning and all! Nowadays I’m lazy and just use numbers XD
Well, that was a lot! :D
Kudos if you read this all <3
I hope you found something that intigued you and you’ll enjoy what you chose (please tell me if you did <3)
Have fun reading!
C.
P.S. For this game I tag @dreamcatchersdaughter @jkeuphoriadreamland @lizardkingeliot @jeonsdear @today-we-will-survive
#tagging game#self rec#my works#mywriting#Which ones are your favourites?#I still can't believe I have 74 works on Ao3 XD

IAD Power Rankings: Part IV
The Demonarchy Duology starts, and as I began revisiting A Hunger Like No Other recently, Lachlain MacRieve gets a bump up because as it turns out.... he's really hot.
Conrad Wroth, vampire, Dark Needs at Night’s Edge
Pros:
–exceedingly good at removing obstacles between him and what he wants
–a virgin and SUPER embarrassed about it in a way that is INCREDIBLY precious (when he finally fucked this woman and went "So I was good?" I almost fucking wept)
–murder puppy only wants death and blood (until he discovers………… other things)
–a natural born dirty talker
–BABY BOY…. BABY BOY…./EVIL
Cons:
–has erectile dysfunction for a significant part of his book, he gets better but I was so sad for him
–I mean, is fully insane and wants to murder his entire family, but nobody’s perfect and Nikolai kinda deserves it
--wears sunglasses indoors
--got aroused while buying underwear for her and had to limp home
--made Bowen MacRrieve sad and that makes me really upset because I love Bowen MacRieve
2. Bowen MacRieve, werewolf, Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night
Pros:
–is a werewolf general
–was celibate for 1200 years after his lover got so scared of his wolf form that she gored herself on a tree stump (lmao)
–spent those 1200 years trying to bring her back to life
–great at catching and preparing seafood
–breeding kink (wants to put all the bairns in Mariketa)
–kinda into bondage…?
–gets hard at the thought of Mariketa’s carnage, even when he is the carnage
--update pro: gets sent to a party by himself so that Mariketa can run an errand and just sits there confused and miserable at the bar by himself waiting for her to show up even though he knows people there; I imagine this is much like that SNL skit about a dog park for boyfriends, where the shy boyfriend hides under a picnic table
Cons:
–kind of a fuckboy (will say his dead lover’s name when he comes, ONE TIME, but “Mariketa” and “Mariah” begin similarly so)
–doesn’t like it when Mariketa chant incantations into her mirror because it creeps him out
–breeding kink (casually tries to get her to stop taking birth control)
–makes fun of Mariketa’s vibrator, even if I found that actually hilarious
3. Lachlain MacRieve, werewolf, A Hunger Like No Other
Pros:
–chewed his own leg off to get to Emma, pinned her to the ground in broad daylight, and inhaled her neck like a fucking FREAK
–actually pretty good at being the werewolf king (saves Bowen from his own stupidity multiple times, much daddy, very authoritative)
–saw Emma kill her own dad and basically swooned
–is absolutely down to get his blood sucked… through his penis (I believe he says that’s the only way he’ll accept BJs now…?)
--gets by on missing 150 years of progression purely on intimidation, which I personally find deeply sexy
Cons:
–I mean yes Lachlain is one of the rape-iest IAD heroes even if most of that was werewolf instinct and burning alive for 150 years
–doesn’t know how to use an iPod
–but will max out your credit cards
--a werewolf supremacist (is this a bad thing...?)
--says "Kiss me like you want to live" which I guess I should put as a con because it's non-consensual but whatever I was dow--
4. Cadeon Woede/"Cade the Kingmaker", demon, Dark Desires After Dusk
Pros:
--extremely loyal to his brother (which I found cute)
--orders ahead to get pre-packaged food for Holly to accommodate her OCD, while helping her Walk on the Wild Side
--was the first guy to 69 with his heroine in this series
--stalked Holly for like a year (stalking is love)
--gets adorably tongue-tied around her, but not in a lame way
Cons:
--lied to Holly for like... that entire book lmao (even though it was fun)
--is called the Womb Raider for a reason, apparently (a little tooooo potent)
--sort of fucks with Holly's birth control, in the sense that he made sure she was super fertile, but to be fair Holly did not... actually... take birth control
--threw out Holly's OCD meds, though I chalk this up to the year the book was published
--just sort of drove around giving Holly head for WEEKS while Rydstrom was getting sexually tortured, so like.... maybe doesn't have GREAT priorities.... maybe has the best priorities... Rydstrom was fine...
5. Nikolai Wroth, vampire, The Warlord Wants Forever
Pros:
--deeply efficient and good at his job (being a bloodthirsty warlord), which turns his mate on as much as it should literally everyone else
--scars all over
--very family-oriented, which means he's extreeeeemely daddy, and very much uses that in the bedroom
--will try to make nice with your bitchy sisters for you
--is receptive to therapy, even if the therapist was his beaten and bruised brother whose advice was basically "do better"
Cons:
--did steal Myst's chain and used it to make her come on command; which, while I liked it, was very much non-consensual
--insecure about Myst's history as the greatest femme fatale of the last couple millennia (though he gets better and decides to be a sex-positive feminist)
--that time that he turned his little brothers into vampires against their will
--was so down bad that he literally started to waste away when Myst didn't let him get off for five years
--does not properly heat his manor
6. Sebastian Wroth, vampire, No Rest for the Wicked
Pros:
–basically a virgin when he meets Kaderin
–Gentleman in the Streets Freak in That Random Nightclub Where He SNAPS
–joined the mile high club remarkably fast
–throws out all his principles for her
–Speaks Like Dracula but in a “I vant to suck your clit” way
Cons:
–borderline beta, or as beta as a murderous centuries old vampire warlord can be
–a little tooooo accommodating of Kaderin’s bullshit
–could have been more demanding, to be honest (Bowen and Lachlain would noooot have been as patient as he was, which some would like but I was a little weary of)
#romance novel blogging#immortals after dark#lol look re-reading a hunger like no other...#YOU DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS!!!#(like what)#I LOVE HIM

Dairy of a Horror Buff 8.24.22
So since this thing is actually called a diary I might as well right in it.
So since I have a little money left over from my paycheck I bought cuphead DLC!!!! Yassss. now I can spend even more time being obsessed with this game. because I am sad a lot.
wow there is a surprising lack of Cuphead gifs on this good christian website.
also for complicated reasons I need to get a new car maybe!!!! luckily I have been saving up for this so I'll be fine but who wants to spend there savings.
so lets watch some short films to relax.
A Free Ride (1915) dir. A. Wise Guy
CW: SMUT
ok so I was bored last night and was like hmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if theres any short films in the Adult Film section of Letterboxd. and the answer is yes. So A Free RIde, along with Am Abend and El Satario, are all extant examples of what was known as Stag Films which was basically underground smut that was shown at fraturnities because obviously porno theaters weren't around yet.
A Free Ride kinda works like theres dick and titty but at the same time this movies from the 1910s and its a little hard to relate to what hot and whats not from back then.
Overall kinda cool.
vimeo
Cravings (2019) dir. Kim Mcmahon
OK so this is another student animated film which I absolutely love that I was able to find out about this from letterboxd.
A woman wakes up after a night of partying. You watch as she appears to have caught some sort of bug as the voicemessages her boyfriend leaves her become more and more concerned.
Badass Watch this.
youtube
The Sad Man dir. Jake Lava
CW: Self-Hard, Child Death
Ok so this is another one of those animated films that I've seen years ago before I ever had a letterboxd. I don't really know how to describe this film. Basically its a little bit like if No-Face from spirited away lived in a bombed out city in northern russia.
Ugh I love this little hungry bitch.
youtube
Amy (2010) dir. Karlijn Scholten
CW: Gore, Child Abuse (Implied)
Youtube autoplay strikes again. So this is yet another little animated film that I remember watching on Youtube.
Essentially a little girl lives ina house with a big bad wolf type. shenanigans, (murdering her abuser) happens.
this is such an enjoyable and delightfully fucked up film please watch it if your able to.
youtube
This Must Be The Place (2022) dir. Merlin Camozzi
OK this is somebodies fetish.
Essentially this film is about a women who wants to joining a coven the intitiation seems to involve a bunch of angry butch woman causing her indelible pain and then just slapping her.
which like girl if thats what your into go off I guess.
The witches are also like a group of petty criminals who all live together so yeah thats pretty gay.
youtube
Koko's Haunted House (1928) dir. Dave Fleischer.
Ok so the fact that his illistrator has a toothbrush mustache is wild not because its the hitler stache but just because I can't imagine a single person it would have looked good on.
watching these really early fleischer cartoons you can definetly see how much there style and quality improved over the next few years. This is while not a Out of the Inkwell Cartoon its spiritual sibling. Koko the Clown winds up in a haunted house and spends most of his time in a scooby doo hallway with some dog while occasionally popping into a room for a sight gag.
plot wise this film is kinda lax but its another one to add to the pile.
youtube
The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) dir. James Sibley Watson, Melville Webber
so the original fall of the house of usser deals with a man who goes to visit a friend of his at his ancestual home which just so happens to have a big ass crack in the walls. Just before he gets there however his hosts sister has passed and the host is convinced her revenant is pacing the walls of her sepulcher.
I don't really remember what the entire vibe of the piece was its probably some thinly veiled incest shit. Lannister style. Oh also the entire house falls into the moors.
So this film as far as I can tell is completely silent as in no spoken dialogue. It is also the most aestetic thing that I have seen in a hot minute. It turns out when people didn't have to worry about writing tight dialogue these feature freeks were like bruh what if we were in a kolaidiscope. Theres probable a term for this kind of film, with its expressive lighting its emphases on expansive geometric architeture, the use of mirror and bokah effects. wait dadaist. Is that what I;m thinking cause the art style reminds me a lot of cool beans movie the ballet machinique.
This version of the film however seems to focus on the eternal state of the host feels guilty over the death of his sister. Theres no words and it is very abstract but I lokey love this. Its so artsy and dramatic and I really hope that I can see more of these kinds of film in the future.
dailymotion
The Case of the Stuttering Pig (1937) dir. Frank Tashlin
OK so this is an early Porky Pie Cartoon because I know your OBSESSED with all these fucking cartoon characters. In this one hes chilling his with his siblings when there uncle lawyers come by and is like oh by the way the will says that if all of you are say horrible murdered in a freak accident I get the millions of dollars in inheritance but like that wouldn't happen its not like I'm gonna go into the murder basement underneath the house and drink some Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide juice and then put you in stocks and gut you like the pigs you are. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
That would be hilarious.
anyway that is exactly what happens.
But also the fucking lawyer literally stops in the middle of what hes doing and just calls out some pasty wimp in the third row, which like bruh don't break the forth wall like that. But then that bloke just goes up and packs a wallop and honestly good riddence to mr. Lawyer Man.
youtube
Il Caso Valdemar (the facts in the Case of M. Valdemar) (1936) dir. Ubaldo Magnaghi, Gianni Hoepli
In the early 19th century Mesmerism was taking the world by storm. Casually Scientist Franz Mesmar came up with a lot of things but the thing that really took off was Mesmerism which is essentially an early form of hynopsis. At the beginning it was nothing more than a fun parlor trick that the rich and bored would engage with. over time however this simple action began to draw the attention of spiritulist and the more scientific sort who were also interested in the world unseen.
it was then in 1845 that Edgar Allen Poe wrote this story. A mesmerist puts a man dying of turbercolisis into a hynotic trance the only issue is that after the man is clinical dead some form of consciousness remains. The body is kept in its hynoptic coma for months on end. until the doctor finally releases him from the spell which at that point the body instantly decays.
The thing I really enjoy about these short films is the amount of style that goes into them. theres a lot of dynamic angles and everyone is wearing just so much eyeliner because of the lighting.
This film also features what I am assuming is meant to be autowriting but I may be misunderstandingthe visuals here. It also doesn't help that the letters are written in italian.
I do like this film but I'm not sure if its my favorite adaptation of the story. Tales of Terror also did a segment on this story and that one for me really gets the plot across better.
I fell like one of the issues with these short films is that we're expected to know the story thats being referenced which ok Yes I do as I am once again a rather big poe fan but I can't say that for the uninitiated.
Through I'm horrible curious to know why Poe in particular was having such a resurgence at this time.
youtube
Toby the Pup in Halloween (1931) dir. Dick Huemer, Sid Marcus
OMG you know Toby The Pup, the one that was produced by RKO pictures, you know it was like a super popular series with 12 whole shorts.
so yeah I can't really say whether or not this character was super popular or not but I can judge it harshly now.
To be honest I dont know if I love this. Toby and co have this kinda ms. Pacman vibe to them. like its round bodies and a face which is just a bit much.
Remember when Anita Sarkesian called Ms. Pacman a sexist depiction of objectification. As if she isn't the most regal queen who slays everytime she walks outside. I mean why do you think theres so many ghosts around her.
yeah so the plot is pretty basic. Toby the Pup is a sex pest, he plays a meh song on the piano and then some ghoalies crash the party this was kinda meddling to be honest.
Ok folks thats the end of todays adventure I need to go do some yard work or something.

Cat Inspired Wild Headcanons
Twilight gets dog/ wolf themed hcs all the time and I’m completely convinced that Wild would be a cat if he got a hold of the twilt crystal so here’s this i guess
-Wild get’s cold easily/ doesn’t like the cold at all. This is one of the reasons he always wears his big cloak, because he’s cold and what is a cloak if not a big dramatic blanket. He also subconsciously seeks out warmth which could be a fire or wolfie or whichever chain member looks like they wouldn’t mind him kinda snuggling up to them. It usually ends up being Twilight or Sky but every single one of them has has this experience and Wild hasn’t quite caught on that he does it yet.
-He likes to climb things a lot for no reason at all.
-He notices when people aren’t eating/ not eating as much and instead of voicing his concern like a normal person, he just sneaks food into their pockets and bags because he doesn’t want them to go hungry. This is one case where he’s more successful than the cat counterpart as cats just leave dead animals in front of the door or try to bring in live snakes but ultimately it’s out of the same concern for the other’s health.
-The above also works the other way around, the best way to get Wild to trust anyone is giving him food (except for bananas) and he also reacts really well to people just giving him things. His love language is gifts and he really treasures when people make him things or give him literally anything. It could be a rock and he would keep it in his pocket forever.
-Completely buries himself in his blankets, he’s good at dramatically whipping them off of himself if there’s danger but if he feels safe he’s just cocooned deep in there with not a strand of hair escaping his cozy prison.
-Very quiet and sneaky subconsciously, can walk through the woods without alerting animals and hide scarily well. He accidentally sneaks up on people and scares them, this is less possible in the vai clothes as he’s a little more jingly but he has managed. He can even be quiet in full armor, it is genuinely a bit scary.
-Sharp teeth, good for biting meat as well as rocks.
-Eats things he is not supposed to however somehow manages not to get sick from it.
-Very expressive ears, they move whenever he hears something and rise and lower depending on his moods. They’re weirdly twitchy which isn’t very common among Hylians but he’s just a little too adapted to nature.
-Loves to bask in the sun. On a warm sunny day it’s normal to just see him closing his eyes and vibing in direct sunlight.
-ADHD.
-Pretends that he doesn’t like attention and praise but he really does.
-Tends to react with violence whenever he gets scared, but feels bad about it immediately afterward. At worst it results in bruises and scratches for the offending party but he has gotten close to stabbing people if he gets interrupted cooking.
-hyper aware of lasers. This isn’t just a cat thing though.
-Is able to swim but doesn’t generally like water. Especially if it’s not his choice to get in. Again this isn’t just a cat thing.
-Can and will eat bugs with no hesitation
-Gets super restless and hates being bored. If he can’t find a way to entertain himself by taking pictures or looking for animals or singing a song, he will resort to annoying anyone within earshot. Sometimes he just gets silent for hours and everyone forgets that he’s there until he gets hyperactive out of nowhere.
-Sometimes he just has to run around at top speed, he gets over it after a few minutes and no one acknowledges it.
#honestly when you think of wild and feral you think of a cat#prove me wrong#linked universe#lu wild#linked universe wild

⊙ Your Shadow Self
So first i’d like to give you my interpretation and experience about the shadow self, my interpretation of it is a bit like Carl Jung (the shadow being a ”primal” part of you) and the Fylgja. It helped me a lot to imagine my shadow as an animal who embody my ”negative side” mostly ferocity and anger because your shadow is the primitive side of you it work a bit like an animal, it does everything to survive (protection) it’s pure instinct and can be both imprevisible and dangerous for the poor stranger who dare mess with someone’s shadow. You are also not suppose to be aware of when your shadow is manifesting or not.
What truly helped me with shadow work was to meditate and imagine an angry wolf and i would just caress it to calm it down. I also try to imagine the same scenario when my emotions are going wild (especially anger) it help me to calm down. I hope my reading will help you making peace with your shadow ! ⊙
⊙ Paid Readings
1. The lady and the dragon
You got the Cheetah ! Everything was fast in your reading, the energy and the cards were all about fast moving and air, after all cheetah are build for speed not for strenght. Your Shadow probably manifest itself through your voice, it is that quick word/sentence that makes the conversation move, it is that moment when you say ”stop” and sometimes it can be your hand suddenly slapping someone. Sometimes it’s like your shadow run in front of you and then go back to you so you can walk with peace and assurance. You might suddenly move without reason and then something fall on the spot where you were standing.
i also got the image of someone who is running after a cheetah and quickly reach it to end up running next to the feline, your relationship with your shadow is progressing maybe even without you realising it. Your advice in order to live in harmony with your shadow is to express your thought and emotions with art, it can be singing, dancing, drawing, writing as long as you let it run free everything will be good between you and the feline !
Werwe - Speed of Light / Gwen Stefani - What you waiting for
2. Theseus and the minotaur
Hello my Kings and Queens, you got the deer ! Your shadow is very calm, well it seems calm because your shadow makes people know they are here then it wait and if the person who made the deer get out of his forest is still here.. well i hope they run fast. I got this image of a deer coming out of a shadow, he look noble and gracious his simple presence feel heavy and powerful, he is looking down at his enemy and just wait for them to leave but they decided to stay and so the deer attacked them.
Your shadow manifest itself by burst of energy/emotion but also in situation that are a blessing in disguise. Here is a scenario i got, your friends introduce you to a guy, everyone say he is cool but for some reason you’re mean to them so the party is kinda annoying on your side. Later you learn some creepy fact about this guy who tried to abuse someone during this party or was just very weird with people but you were saved by your shadow and in the end you had fun with new people who are really cool ! I really had the image of the deer looking at this guy and being sooo disgusted, you know when you got this royal character who look down at someone and just close their eyes and walk away with elegance, that’s your shadow. You remind me of something i heard, apparently herbivores are way more dangerous than predator, especialy those with horns you might understimate yourself or your shadow.
A simple way to be in harmony with your shadow would be to accept their presence and to look for the positive in negative situation. I got one last message, the deer really see your enemies as ”pathetic”.
Your shadow sound like me
Song : The cure - Lullaby / Blondie- Heart of Glass
3. The bride & the Lindworm
You got the Tiger ! I really got strong divine feminine vibe from this group i just heard ”the wrath of god in all its fury” (might be that ost from evangelion). Your shadow might scare you to be honest, im really seing a Tiger being hidden from his spray and suddenly jump out of the dark its eyes shining in the dark gives the tiger a very intense stare. I also got ”calm water” vibe but also heard tsunami, your shadow is very intense.
Your Shadow manifest itself when you are frustated or when people really mess with your boundaries or marterial stuff (people stealing objects that belongs to you ?). When this happen, you can hear the tiger’s roar out of nowhere. You might don’t like to get angry because sometimes your emotions get the best of you (especially anger). Thing is, most of the time you were just defending yourself and people often acted like everything was your fault and those people made you see your shadow as your enemy. I heard ”it’s like blaming carnivores for killing in order to eat” i think we all know how those kind of animal got the nasty role in movies, you also suffer from people making false rumor(s) about you because one day you decided to stand for yourself so they saw you as ”crazy” i even heard ”monster” and ”ungrateful”. Remember, you are just defending yourself and those people probably have more insecurities than personality trait so don’t worry about them.
In order to live in harmony with your shadow you need to work on your divine feminine and learn to nurture yourself, be your own mother figure, your own god(ess). I also feel like following moon cycles can be very benefical for you.
Song : New Order - Blue Monday/ Wolf Alice - Silk
4. The Griffin
So pile 4 how does it feel to have A DRAGON AS YOUR SHADOW ?? (Im jealous yes). I don’t know why i feel like not a lot of people will take this pile. It seems like your shadow and one of your spirit guide can be interchangeable ? They are very powerful but also gentle, i actually saw the dragon asleep but i think waking this creature can a be very dangerous thing to do. They hiss like a snake too ?
Your shadow manifest itself (with your spirit guide ? ) when you and your loved ones are in danger, they seem very present in the astral realm you guys have a powerful spirit team for sure and they work with your shadow or might give it order ? I had the image of a spirit (golden light) pointing toward something and the dragon go to that thing. Everytime someone is about to hurt you, your dragon arrive like a knight of wands in all its fury, pure fire energy. You know how some people can curse other or gives them evil eye just by thinking about it ? Your shadow is probably behind that. I really got psychic ability vibe but i can’t pick one. Some of you might refuse to approache the occult world or just to embrace your real self and spiritual ability.
It seem like you are going through hard time maybe a spiritual awakening for some of you. Despite the tough time it seem to be a ”golden occasion” (idk if it’s just a french expression i hope it make sense) to call upon both your shadow and spiritual team to get out of this situation. Team work is the key !

Buys you a new one, not only that but buys it a shit ton of toys and treats, you might end up killing this hamster by giving it to much sugar- Avery doesn't know that much about hamsters but having you cry randomly with things that remind you of it ruins the mood.
Whitney
Teases you about it, but he definitely either has his own hamster or a ugly crusty ass dog that he would be crying over if it died too. At high love if you whine about it enough he will get you another, but it won't be a cute one, this dude will pick you out the ugliest, on life support hamster who is a BITCH just like him, no matter how you try to tame it, it will bite you even when you give it the best care. You let it go into the wild after it becomes too much, and it starts randomly showing up in your bed or room, hissing. You didn't even know hamsters could fucking hiss. It only stops when you're with Whitney and his dumbass friends playing with matches and someone sets the furr ball on fire. It lives for another 10 hours before it's over.
Kylar
Dude would try to bring it back from the dead, if it works it either is like pet cemetery, or if it doesn't work Kyler either gives up buying you a new one, or, the most likely case, turns it into some weird ass taxidermy. With organs for some reason? It rots and is nasty of course so you just burry him again.
Robin
Buys or makes you a plushie that looks like your hamster, also comforts. Best boy.
GH
He was the one who killed your hamster, he fucking ate it. But that's because he is a dumb bird, I love great hawk ✋
Black wolf
Doesn't understand, kinda just ingores you being upset or tells you to get over it.
Eden
Eden hated your hamster anyways, it smelled and was a mess to clean up. Although seeing how you're so upset he will carve a small hamster out of wood for you, maybe buy you a different pet that's easier to clean up.
Bailey
Doesnt want pets in the orphanage, but if you both are cough cough,,, close. Then he will buy you a new hamster, as long as you do something in return for him.
Wren
Would steal all the hamsters in the pet store, then finds out most hamsters don't like being together, as they start eating each other he makes a shit ton of different cages for them, now you all have to take care of a bunch of hamsters, it's either cute and fun or horrible.
Remy
How- how the hell did you even get a hamster? You're his cow, when did you get a hamster?!?! Where have you been keeping it?!?! Very confused and concerned, doesn't buy you a new hamster but if you're his favorite cow he will get you a fluffy hamster plush.
Alex
Doesn't really understand why you would want a hamster, but he probably gets you a new one.
oh, it's so ironic that i woke up from having a dream about buying a hamster to see this

Total drama island/world tour swap au
Finally I’m done with this au. This took a lot of figuring out and working their personalities to make it work. Will I ever do ridonculus race swaps. Honestly I’m not sure if I will. Can’t guarantee it alright. Anyways here they are, hope you like.
Owen swapped w/Sadie- The codependent: Is Noah’s best friend and follows him everywhere. Often doesn’t know what to do without Noah by his side. Still a friendly guy that loves food.
Gwen swapped w/Ezekiel- The introvert: Rarely interacts with people, the only reason she’s here is because her parents made her to so she can socialize. She is just detached to humanity and in her own world.
Heather swapped w/Courtney-The spoiled brat: Used to having everything handed to her and expects everyone to listen to her. Has massive temper tantrum if she doesn’t get her way.
Duncan swapped w/Trent-The rockstar: A punk that likes to play his electric guitar and loves metal. Once a man in juvie is not currently trying to become nicer, sometimes tho his original jerk side shows.
Leshawna swapped w/Gwen-The sarcastic friend: A loner but not afraid to speak her mind when she gets the chance. When opened up to she can be a good friend. Spends time drawing.
Geoff swapped w/Leshawna-The loyal companion: A loyal friend to the end and is sassy, but has a more playfulness to it. Will defend anyone that messes with his friends even if their stronger then him.
DJ swapped w/Lindsay-The pet owner.This man loves to gather and take care of any animal no matter how dangerous they are and loves to give out nicknames. Like Sadie he’s naive and innocent. Gets along well with Bridgette but she has to convince him to let some animals live in the wild.
Lindsay swapped w/Harold-The Otaku:Basically an anime fan, very geeky and smart on things that appear like or similar to anime. Loves things like ninjas, or magic, and other anime stuff.
Bridgette swapped w/DJ-The animal lover: Always around animals and loves them. Still a surfer and often interacts with sea creatures like fish. Can be a bit of a scaredy cat.
Trent swapped w/ Justin- The superstar:Still a guitarist and considered cool to most, however he has a massive ego and likes to use his charm to his advantage, kinda famous already.
Harold swapped w/Izzy- The dare devil: Will do awesome tricks to show off his mad skills but often is very reckless and hurts himself. But he doesn’t really care.
Courtney swapped w/Geoff-The motivator: Often takes change of the team and tries to motivate them to do their best. Tries to be nice most of the time but can lose her patience and sometimes use force.
Sadie swapped w/Beth- The manipulated:Very nice person, perhaps too nice. She is very naive and innocent, which can cause her to be very trusting of people who don’t deserve it, like Katie
Beth swapped w/Duncan- The bad girl wannabe: Basically that person that tries way too hard to be bad but just ends up doing good instead. Basically Duncan in All stars.
Cody swapped w/Noah-The stuck up genius: Very snarky and a know it all. Considers his sarcastic whips funny and cool, when really their often either annoying or insulting to others.
Izzy swapped w/Owen- The comedian: Loves to make people laugh in anyway, even at her own expense. Positive vibes all around. Just wants everyone to be happy.
Tyler swapped w/Eva-The bully jock:Not clumsy and is very skilled at sports. Prone to being a bully to those that annoy him. Still not the smartest and can get very angry if he messes up.
Katie swapped w/Heather- The manipulator: Puts on a “nice” facade in order to make others trust her, when really she’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Often will hang around people not that bright, like Sadie.
Justin swapped w/Tyler- The pretty quarterback: A pretty boy that likes to get his hand dirty. Loves to play sports but is actually not that great at them and can be very clumsy.
Noah swapped w/Katie- The bookworm: Not much changes other then the fact he’s nicer. He also wants owen to be his own person. The only reason he’s here is because Owen wanted to go. Just wants to read honestly.
Eva swapped w/Bridgette- The pacifist:detests violence and won’t use her strength unless she has too. Much more calm but still terrifying when angry.
Ezekial swapped w/Cody: The dork-Awful at socializing. Often will do stuff he considers cool according to movies he watched, but he often comes off as weird at best and infuriating at worst. Just wants to be liked that’s all.
Sierra swapped w/Alejandro- The anti-villain:Still a massive fan but will do stuff to keep her favorite contestants in the game, even if that means manipulation and lying to do so. Less crazy then original but still hyper.
Alejandro swapped w/Sierra- The analyzer:Done research on all the total drama contestants. Uses said information to find their weaknesses and beat them to gain the million. Definitely more crazier then the original but still devious and smart.

Been seeing you getting hate mail and while I absolutely can't understand why anyone would go to all the trouble to make some one else feel bad... I also kinda really love the discourse on Scott? Like YOUR RANTS oh man. On point. Always. Tbh I tried giving Scott a chance... He is the main char after all... But I was like??? Wtf? That dude does nothing but refute others and does whatever he wants. And this was when I didn't particularly like Stiles either (first time watching Teen Wolf). But then I got to know more of him and like Tony he went asshole to lovable asshole—seriously, Stiles might not be the ‘nicest’ but he tries and his heart is in good place—while Scott is just... self-righteous. Someone pointed out that he sees people as possessions and that irks me too that I can actually see it being true. The dude has literally nothing going on except for being the one that gets bitten. And the Romeo-and-Juliet-esque romance he has.
Okay, okay, where was I going with this?? Right. LOVE YOUR RANTS. People need to understand that Scott not being liked isn't because of his race or anything trivial like it—he just happens to be—but because of his actions. Or inactions, as it were. *remembers the pool scene and Scott saying he's busy and resists the urge to chuck a shoe at him*
Basically, love you, love your work, and love your words! ❤️
I've talked with some friends about it, and our number one issue sort of...boiled down to the hypocrisy of the show?
I....sort of rant a lot here, and I would add a Read More, but I can't find the option anymore?? I fucking hate Tumblr. EDIT: I found a post that told me how to do it!
So, since he's the character I focus on the most, let's talk about Stiles' morality. Because, you're right. Stiles is an asshole. He does some fucking awful shit in the first season, and even if he had a Reason to do it, it was still bad. And I still don't like it. But I understand it.
Stiles' lack of shits about what is 'lawful' is literally established in the first ten seconds of the show. He's a sheriff's son who sneaks onto people's roofs in the middle of the night bc they aren't answering his calls, who listens in on his dad's work conversations and is willing to fuck up a crime scene because he's so excited about getting to see a dead body.
He doesn't care about laws. He doesn't even care about most basic manners (invasion of privacy much, with having Scott sniff Lydia to see if she liked him?). He's a dickhead, even to the people he cares about sometimes.
But personality and morality aren't the same.
Stiles' entire actual morality system is based around whatever he needs to do to keep the people he loves safe and happy. Lying to his dad so he doesn't get murdered by hunters? Totally fine. Telling Scott that it was "Jackson's own fault" that Scott attacked him with superstrength and dislocated his shoulder, so Scott doesn't feel like an asshole? That's just best friend duties!
He will lie, steal, cheat, and he will kill to keep his loved ones safe (let's not forget this boy threw molotovs at Peter, knowing damn well what they would do to him). We can headcanon all we want about all the different people who are in this group of loved ones, but the list is canonically very short: Scott, his dad, and Lydia. Later on, like, past s3B? It includes Derek.
Canonically.
Stiles puts his life and the lives of others he cares about on the line while he lies to the matriarch of the Calavera hunter clan, to save Derek Hale. Derek is just canonically a part of that group now, and he fucking knows it bc Stiles is his anchor (that's canon too bb).
End of Story, Sterek or no Sterek.
It's why we get that insane number of lookbacks when Derek is dying before his evolution. Because Stiles is being forced to choose between two people who are BOTH in his ride-or-die group. He Cannot Pick between Scott and Derek, until Derek begs him to leave.
SO, yes, Stiles does fuckface things, and I don't always agree with what he does, but it is ACCURATE TO HIS CHARACTER. He is morally grey. He NEVER CLAIMS to be pure or good or just or righteous. Stiles knows who he is, and he stays true to himself. And I love him for that.
The same goes for a bunch of other characters! For Peter, who is strikingly similar to Stiles, in that family goes above literally everything. Screw the idea that he was following Derek around waiting for the chance to steal back the Alpha spark. That man put his life on the line (his second life, no less) to get the shit beaten out of him until Derek let him help save Derek's life Again and Again. Family Comes First.
Scott's morality is...confusing as fuck. I thought at first he was similar to Stiles, in that family came first, but...while he's protective of his mother, he also does a lot of stuff that puts her at risk without seeming to care/worry (like leaving Peter alone with her once Stiles hits their car, so he can chase Jackson) (or asking her to come to the high school when he's convinced there's a bomber in it)? Seriously, he's more protective over Allison, than his mother.
It's very black and white the rest of the time. Very "this bad" "this good." And if you do "bad" then you are bad forever, while if you do "good" you are only good until you do "bad." The Betas were "good" until they asked for the bite, and then they were "Bad." Derek was "bad" when Scott met him and scared him, so after that, no matter how much "good" he did, he remained "bad."
But only when it suits him.
Allison is good even when she does bad, because he wants her to be good. Chris is good even though he's done mountains of bad, because of the minuscule amount of good that Scott has seen him do, because Scott wants him to be good. Even DEUCALION is good, despite the crazy CRAZY amount of bad he's done and despite having seen him do NO GOOD, just because Scott wants him to be good.
Lying to those closest to you is bad, unless Scott is doing it, and then it's good, because he knows HE is good. Killing people is bad, unless Scott is doing it. Letting villains go is bad, unless Scott is doing it. Biting people is bad, unless Scott is doing it.
Protecting family is good even if it requires killing or lying, unless it's not Scott doing it. Revenge for past slights is good, unless it's not SCOTT doing it.
And you try to understand it! You try to say, okay, then he's morally grey, got it. He plays with the rules to suit his own morality, whatever.
Except that Scott, the other characters, and THE SHOW ITSELF, are all telling you otherwise!
They all say that Scott is morally pure. That he is good and righteous and lawful. That he always does the "right" thing, and that when he does "bad" things, it's justified and he had to. THE HEAVENS THEMSELVES say Scott is somehow better or more righteous than the other characters by MAKING HIM AN ALPHA OUT OF NOWHERE. (I'm talking abt canon here, not going into deaton conspiracy theories)
It's like....Like in the hate mail response I did, where I pointed out that Every Single Thing people get angry at Derek for doing, Scott did too.
Lying, killing (or at least attempting it), attacking innocents, losing his temper, keeping secrets, refusing to work with someone who could help, etc etc etc.
Everything Derek has done that is morally "wrong," Scott has also done.
And that's okay! Doing a bad thing doesn't make you a bad person, and even if it did, Scott is ALLOWED to be bad! GO FOR IT.
Except that he is sinless. It isn't that he learns from the bad things he does, it's that they aren't treated like bad things in the first place. Because Scott did it, and Scott always does the right thing.
Derek's behavior is reprehensible at times, but the show ADMITS that and frames it as bad. Frames it as him doing a bad thing when he scares Isaac or throws Peter or tells Erica who to date. And that's fine, because Derek is established as not being morally pure.
But SCOTT IS. And because they were so desperate to make him continue being "Pure" they didn't frame the things he did as wrong, or if they did, they absolved him of it immediately, using the exact same reasoning that works for Derek's situations, but this time Actually Accepting it.
He scares Stiles, well it's because he's scared. He throws Isaac, it's because he's upset. He attacks Jackson well it's because Jackson was being a dick. He orders Allison to date Matt, well he had a goal to accomplish. Every reason is treated like a fucking doctor's note that erases the bad things he does.
Being scared, or angry, or retaliating to someone being an asshole, or trying to protect himself, was NEVER a good enough reason for Derek to do ANYTHING "Bad." It was never an acceptable excuse.
IF IT WERE: If the show were making a statement about how fallable people are, how they do bad things, but they do them for a REASON. How people will do wild and terrible things out of fear, and how that doesn't make it less bad, but it makes it understandable, so don't demonize them out of nowhere.
If that were the case, I would HAVE BEEN FINE WITH IT.
Scott is held to COMPLETELY different standards than everyone else in the show! And I DON'T mean that people held him to higher ones. They dropped that bar so fucking low. Anything was allowed, and any excuse was good enough.
He made out with a girl who was dating someone else, who his best friend was in love with? It's just the full moon, he's angsty about losing Allison. He ducttapes Liam to a bathtub and starts throwing random phrases at him that he hated Derek for saying to him? He's freaked out! He doesn't know what to do with a bitten wolf! It was an accident! He works with a mass murderer behind people's backs without telling them the whole story? Am I talking about Gerard or Deucalion? Who fucking knows. Either way, it's okay, because he was protecting his family. He plots to murder a cancer patient slowly and painfully by replacing meds that likely included painkillers with mountain ash, and the uses someone else's body to deliver the killing blow, and it's okay because he was just being smart! He was just working ten steps ahead! He was saving his mom and the whole town! Who cares if it DIDN"T WORK?
He walks into his ex-girlfriend's hotel room and scares the SHIT out of her while she's naked and alone in the shower? It was the wolfsbane. It doesn't matter that no one else's impulses included HARASSING someone. He lies to his girlfriend's face about her own life because he doesn't think it's important enough for her to know (who am I talking about, come on, take a guess, which one is it? Allison or Kira? Trick question: it's both). He was just being kind! He didn't want to worry her! He didn't want to make her feel bad! She didn't need to know!
I'm so far off track it's not even funny.
My point was that Everything the other characters in the show are demonized for or framed as evil or bad or wrong for doing, Scott is shown to do and it's treated like at minimum a comedy, if not a Perfect Brilliant Strategic Move.
God, fucking hell. I mean, the PARALLELS you see in this show, between Scott and others.
The scene of Alexander Argent going to the hotel after being bit? That bit where he pulls his shirt up in the mirror? It's a near PERFECT replica of Scott looking at his bite at Deaton's. They paralleled SCOTT MCCALL with AN ARGENT.
Deaton has this whole line in S2 where he's bitching at Derek about "the person you should trust the most doesn't trust you at all"
And then seasons later, we have Scott look his best friend in the eye and refuse to trust him, only to get upset later because Stiles doesn't want to work with him anymore and he "lost them."
Scott goes running into Derek's house in S1 to accuse him of killing the bus driver, and when he can't get a real response, he EGGS HIM ON by accusing him of Murdering his SISTER, just to get Derek to react. Which is the EXACT same thing Kate did when she showed up and wanted Derek to lose his temper.
Scott is CONSTANTLY paralleled with villains and assholes, and constantly does the things that others are persecuted for.
But instead of feeling regret or learning something from it, instead of growing AT ALL.
Those actions are treated as good. We are told they are righteous. And clever. That they are what heroes do.
AND YES: There are parallels between Derek and Stiles' behaviors and villains/morally grey characters! Of course there are!
BUT THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THE TRUE ALPHA MAIN CHARACTER. SCOTT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE GOOD GUY. HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO MIMIC/EMULATE THE VILLAINS, AND HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE REWARDED WHEN HE DOES IT ANYWAY.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again; I understand the urge to think that the Teen Wolf writers did all of this on purpose. That they built Scott up as an unreliable narrator, so that we're forced to come to terms with a protagonist who isn't good, and we watch them fall into a villainous role while thinking all the while they are a hero. That all these parallels are intentional and the writers just couldn't Tell us what was going on bc they didn't have enough power.
And sometimes I play into it. I will lie to myself about Scott being the 'narrator' of the entire show, and that we're seeing it all through his eyes so of course things are biased and conflicting, just so I can actually Enjoy watching it.
But I think it's absolute bullshit that this was done on purpose. It wasn't. The parallels appeared because they Wanted Scott to do the badass things that they had all the villains doing, throwing people and being sneaky and clever, and stopping the bad guy, and they didn't want to deal with the fact that they were having him do bad things. So they just pretended he wasn't and refused to acknowledge that they'd already punished other people for doing the same exact shit, but somehow Scott was getting rewarded.
They wanted Scott to be the hero, so they made him the hero, and screw everybody else.

Steele's joke was understood wrong
Previously I promised to make a post about some weird aspect of the bullying scene. Here I'll discuss about the one particular moment of this scene — Steele's taunting toward Balto and his mother.
Okay, the original film never mentions Balto's parents and their species directly, in the entire movie Balto once answers to Jenna with embarrassment "Big paws kinda run in my family... At least, ah... one side of my family.", rejecting the wolf parent and not stating who was the wolf parent in his family. And I always confidently though that exactly Balto's father was a wolf (and the director of the original film also confirmed this, but in this specific post it doesn't matter).
Later I'll make the detailed post about the subtle moments, which hint the father as Balto's wolf side, but now let's look at it from the story writing perspective. We have the dog protagonist, who lives among humans and dogs. He interacts with humans and dogs, he desperately wants to be a sled dog and never interacts with wolves, wanting to have nothing to do with them and considering wolf blood in him as his curse, so he even never howls. The movie never hints that he came from the wilderness, the core is in him being alienated by others from the town he lives in as in his home. And he is exactly in the human/dog world, far far away from wolf world, which was always unknown for him. And he's very meek and timid and behaves like a regular dog (and absolutely all his early designs depicted him as a dog, in scripts he even barked).
Why on Earth the filmmakers would ever make exactly Balto's mother to be a wolf? It makes zero sense (and here I explained, why — although I don't consider Wolf Quest as a canon at all).
But there's the one problem. For some reason many people use Steele's taunting "Oh, Balto, I've got a mesage for your mother: Awhooo!" as a smoking gun, that this line allegedly implies Balto's mother being a wolf (then more sense would be to make Steele say "I have a message from your mother: Arwooo!" in this case, i.e. he parodies her, implying that she lost/abandoned her son or died and greets him from heavens or whatever — and, well, it would make more sense to tell directly that she's a wild animal in therms of insulting).
Okay, how it confirms Balto's mother as a wolf? And how the very vague joke from the random malamute, who knows nothing about Balto except of him being a stray half-wolf, can be a serious proof? Moreover, then what's insulting here in his taunting? There's nothing what could cause Balto's anger — like, she is a wolf, and wolves only howl or whatever, and... where is there something insulting? What's the core of this insulting? What Steele wanted to tell by this line and actions later? It doesn't work here at all.
Plus, if to watch the full scene, you can notice, that they just make fun of the wolf language, asking Balto to translate the howlings. Since he is unable to howl, there's a clear teasing with meaning "The wolf, who can't howl" or "You're half-wolf, so you have to know wolf language, so translate to us some howls". They don't mock on Balto's mom, they mock on exactly Balto and the wolf language. But... is that really so insulting and painful for Balto to get so pissed off?
However, the laugh and jokes about the wolf language clearly were added way later, because the recording is different from other sounds. Their laugh happens during the howling scene, but nobody could laugh and say something, 'cause they all howled at this moment. Simply saying, this sequence wasn't in the script. The production crew clearly tried to hide the dirty joke and really dark, adult and deep meaning, changing the focus toward childish jokes about the wolf language. The example of such "toning down to make the movie more family-friendly", how it erases logic, I showed here. But about what this dark, deep and adult meaning is, we will talk a bit later.
For now keep in mind, Steele arrived after the race he ran for many miles among snowy deserts, mountains and woods, so he could see wolves (maybe even exactly the pack Balto meets later).
The novel version of this scene is even more confusing. For some reason they scrapped the entire sequence with jokes about translating from wolf language, but kept the "Hi, mom" line (earlier I already told about the origin of "Hi mom!" line here). While the only one, who howled, was Steele, and he howled only once. I guess, here it is just a "yo momma" joke, i.e. he just provoked Balto without any thoughts about his mother's species. Because the novel just points out "Balto had had enough" without any details, it never mentions his parents at all, calling Balto just a wolfdog. And the novel never mentions that Balto came to Nome from wilderness — townfolks thought he's wild only because he is half-wolf.
The official novel doesn't state Balto's mother as a wolf.
But let's return back to the movie version of this scene. Have you ever noticed Balto's reaction at this?
Look at Balto's reaction at how they parody a wolf pack and howl "messages" for his mother.
Look at his eyes especially. The pupils narrowed, the ears flattened and lowered, the fur stood up. He doesn't react at everything else anymore. In the entire movie it is the only scene, where Balto really is pissed off and gets furious.
Balto immediately becomes in rage mode and is ready to fight them. And it happens way before their talks and jokes about wolf language. And only Boris stops him and asks to go away.
Plus, in the beginning of this sequence, when Steele made the first howl, look at how he moves his head and dramatically howls. And look at the yearning in facial expressions he performs during this moment and for a second looks and smiles to Balto.
As if he parodies a wolf in love, who plaintively and imploringly calls for the lover.
And then his gang joins him for parodying entire pack of such wolves in love.
What does it mean? Steele and his dogs literally mocked on Balto's mother for falling in love with a wolf and having a pup with a wolf. It is a dirty joke about her being a "harlot dog, who runs and mates with wolves". They parody a wolf pack, asking Balto's husky-mother to come to them for dallying. And it explains Balto's anger in this scene. He, denying his wolf heritage and being bullied for wolf heritage, is pissed off, because Steele and his gang insult his husky-mother, who is presumably dead. Balto loves his mother and will never allow to insult her (his dog side) and her choice (her love toward a wolf).
And Steele actually already made such kind of insults earlier. When Jenna rejected him, he said "Well, maybe your tastes run more toward... wolf?".
And that is Jenna's reaction at his words. And the only what stops her from kicking Steele's butt is Rosie.
So, yes, Steele's insult toward Balto's mother is a logical progression of his line toward Jenna. Not to mention, how Jenna's friends, Sylvie and Dixie, show disgust toward the fact that Jenna likes Balto. They view him as a mixed abomination, a creature of shame.
From my perspective, it is the only plausible and reasonable explanation. In the original film either Balto's backstory was never developed or his wolf side came from his father. Nothing else.

*pokes you* got any angsty headcanons? Or just headcanons in general?
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!
Oh gosh! You asked for it! (literally)
So, angsty headcannons!
Time, Sky and Legend all experience visions related to their adventures, and the current quest. Sky sees what will happen, Time sees the consequences of events that have already taken place, and Legend experiences what will happen, whether it be to him or not.
Like if, say, an enemy escaped during a fight, Sky would see it coming back, Time would see it coming back and killing, say, Warriors who attacked it last, and Legend would experience death in his sleep, as if he was in Warriors' body.
Wars is Wild's dad, and the 10k hero. So yeah, he's going to have to fight the Calamity after LU is over, and know that even if he defeats it, no matter what he does, his kid will have to fight it and die to this thing :)
Lullaby in the fallen timeline is trans, and goes down in the stories not as a princess, but as a prince. For this reason, princes are considered a sign of doom in the Downfall Timeline. The same goes for being trans. The royal family is not kind to trans folks because they believe Zelda's change to Sheik was a sin that made Hylia reject their timeline. It's bogus, but that's the Hylian Royal family for you. Legend, as a prince (Zelda's twin) has to hide among the people because princes are so hated, and going trans isn't an option to avoid it.
Malon is wrong, and she doesn't even know it, Time doesn't either. Time is over 100 years old. His mother lived in the later years of the Hero of the Four Sword, and when war against the rebelling Gerudo took place in Hyrule, she had to flee into the lost woods. Time was raised by the kolkiri, and while he did age, it was exponentially slower than a normal Hylian would, because that's how the forest works. Thus, when Time leaves the forest, hundreds of years after the war, when the Gerudo are again under Hyrule's control but about to rebel, he has no clue that he's outlived all the rest of his Hylian family. That's why he nveer finds any of them, ever, they already died.
Going with the Wars is Wild's dad thing, I did end up creating an OC, at the encouragement of my readers for my The Ties That Bind series, and she's Warriors' wife. They were happily married before the war, but then Wild was taken away by Cia and dumped thousands of years in the future. Warriors, as great as he is, failed to tell his wife why this happened (that Cia was lusting after him) and also had trouble remaining in contact with her throughout the war. he found comfort in taking care of Tune and Mask (Wind and Time) but when his wife found out about them she assumed he was trying to replace their son. They've had several fights since then, and she's gone back to live with her parents. LU takes place only months after the war was over, and Warriors hasn't had a chance to make up with her yet.
Legend has arthritis from his adventures.
Warriors and Wind both have hearing loss from the cannons they used.
Time's hair actually hides scars on the sides of his face, where he unconsciously scratches when he has nightmares.
Twilight's wrist is perpetually scarred from the shackle in his wolf form, but it carries over to Hylian form too.
Hyrule is anemic.
On the anniversary of their first split, Four always ends up in agonizing pain. He has to be split or else he will pass out from the pain. He's not sure why, but the same thing happens to him when they're in the downfall timeline, but it's on a different day. Legend's hesitant to tell him that that particular day is the anniversary of when he had to fight and defeat Four in the Palace of the Four Sword.
On that note, Four is still alive in Legend's time. Lil Legend (I'm with the fandom on calling him Lore) grew up hearing stories of the Hero of the Four Sword, and kinda idolized him, since he was the last known Hero of Courage that actually survived and defeated the bad guy. If Legend despises the Fallen Hero, he really looks up to the Heroes of the Four Sword. But he did have to fight them, so he's always wary around Four and is forever trying to prevent the other teen from getting corrupted. He knows what corrupted Four is like. Corrupted Four is still sealed in the Palace of the Four Sword, and while Lore fought him, poor baby couldn't make himself kill his heroes. so they're still in there to this day.
