my favorite explanation by a treasured mutual about how werewolves could possibly be the enemy of the eldritch horrors older than man is that - and i’m not remembering this very well - werewolves are like, the present day version of some ancient demons that only exist now as a form taken by humans, or like, that werewolves are possessed by this race when they transform, but their primordial form is an enemy of the leviathans from the time before humanity. like to be clear this idea is absolutely invented whole cloth to explain this very silly and unbelievable plot point, but i’ve incorporated into my belief system for the good ds in my head

that's as good an explanation as any ! but i still think it's a bunch of malarkey.

#love asks like these for my moots to read who dont know anything about ds / are still in bw era slkdfgdfg #werewolves are just... puppy. and not all that powerful in the ds universe ( so far )#one hit from a silver cane? beaten. the biggest thing seems to be the tenacity of the curse once inflicted.#and i supppooooosse following this theory you could invent some rules about why they have to obey the full moon #but supposedly the leviathans ( + werewolves ) are older than our moon / solar system / etc ! i just. ehHHH im not bought in.#they're just doing it to make chris have any relevance to the leviathan plot whatsoever and it feels rather lazy bleh #if i had the writer's pen ? and also diana millay could be persuaded to come back ?#laura makes much more sense as a natural weakness for the naga in my mind. given the garuda / naga eternal feud in buddhism / hinduism #+ other folklore bird / snake as natural enemies – like the Tenochtitlan founding myth etc. obviously she isn't literally a bird but #in terms of supernatural creatures we've already introduced i'm way more inclined to buy the phoenix as predator.#but that's me!#➤ answered. ┊ collinsport 4099.
