#// I thiiink that's all of my solid lore

[strxngertogether]

// Also I have somewhat finetuned werewolf lore lol. Werewolves are affected by the moon, but it depends on how much they accept their wolf side and/or how well they control. Some wolves can get by with Just control if that's their personality type and control works for them, but 90% have to actually accept their wolf side before they can really control it. Someone who doesn't accept their wolf side/doesn't how to control it is gonna be extremely and only affected by the moon. They will not be able to shift outside of full moons and will almost definitely hurt people. But someone who accepts their wolf completely will likely be able to shift outside of the full moon and is most likely not going to hurt anyone unless they choose to.

Werewolves shift into an actual wolf form, not the bipedal half man half wolf set up. If their wolf is accepted, they will still have their human thoughts for the most part but if not, then they'll very much be all wolf in that form. Their human side may be able to be coaxed out somewhat but there is no guarantee. Most people will have wolf/dog like personality traits at all times, especially if they have been raised by an all or predominately werewolf family. The personality stuff depends tho cause everyone's different.

I also think being a werewolf is purely a genetic thing and not a disease (?) like vampirism. You're either born a werewolf or you're not. Oh and kids can transform at any age pretty much, it's not a puberty thing or anything like that. Haven't decided if pups are born in their wolf forms or not tho. If they're not, some kids may be able to shift earlier than others and some may be late bloomers. But I'd imagine if they're not born their wolf forms then most will be able to shift very very young, some after they start crawling and some before and some later.

Werewolves have accelerated healing, more so in their wolf form but it's always more accelerated than humans unless it's particularly nasty or was caused by silver. I'd imagine some wolves are more sensitive to silver than others. Some having a severe, deadly reaction to a minor scratch and others only having delayed healing from a minor scratch. I don't think werewolves are totally immortal when it comes to non silver blades or whatever else tho. If you get to a severe wound quick enough you may able to heal yourself and not die but with a shot to the heart or head it's fairly unlikely.

yeah I am pretty young lmao, I'll spare you from another playlist by just naming some artists that gave me inspiration for god knows at some point

first off you mentioned Hozier, which I kinda only mention because he released a new album recently. Arctic Monkeys and Father John Misty are kinda in the same boat as him. More like the same lake.

The Amazing Devil and The Oh Hellos never fail to give me some sort of D&D/character inspiration. Ghost does?? something??? as well with characters, but specific ones. Same with Steam Powered Giraffe.

other than that, Library Magic by The Head And The Heart is very Wizard, along with The Magician by Andy Shauf. and because I just can't go without mentioning it, Queen is my favorite band. :)

that's all! with any luck it'll end up being useful somehow lol

hozier is one of those artists who i dont listen to on purpose like ever i dont thinki could name a single song of his with confidence BUT i know his voice starkly as one i really lusted after pre-t. i saw he just dropped a new album and i HAVE to give it a listen to especially the video of sssomething or other (full album mv??? pLEASE) because it stars domnall gleeson and i am still horny for that man even after all these years (he's the actor for hux for context lmao)

queen is also one of my long time favs, though definitely a band i dont know in and out the way i do with a lot of more modern punk bands lmao. freddie has and always will be Gender (god the video for i want to break free was IT for me in like 8th grade right around when i came out)

ive seen spg live before!! they are *great* experience even if you're not deep into the lore (i had friends who were big lore fans). i have heard precisely One And A Half Ghost Songs and im keeping it that way on purpose because its just sooooooo funny that im not into them because aesthetically they are way up my alley (and one of my sibs, a number of irl buddies, and MANY artists i follow are all nuts for them)

ive some passing familiarity with the artic monkeys, enough that i can pick out a number of their more popular songs on the radio even if i cant name them (i am garbage at song titles tho so)

i'll have to check out the rest, especially good Wizards Songs 👀

in response!! further things to check out:

FUNKY.FM - playlist by alexmoukala who is one of my FAVOURITE video game composers. i know him primarily through twitter where he posts snippets of remixed or reimagined video game music... but FUNKY (this one is particularly relevant to u based of ur playlist shared w me)

ye old spooky club 1995 - playlist by unnerving governess who i am 90% sure is gothic charmschool. i know i got the link thru her but i thiiink she also made it (another playlist that may vibe w u based off your playlist)

creature feature, especially the album "the greatest show unearthed" (ookey spooky rock with a lot of vincent price era horror camp and a lot of really impressive technical skill. i want it to be halloween damnit)

the mind electric by the miracle musical (behold, the essence of the inside of my brain but in tangible form. it is. incredibly ominous. do recommend headphones for max goosebumps (includes a lot of records played backwards type sounds and other distortions))

dance monkey by tones and i (one of my big essek songs since i get a lot of that vibe where he's beholden to his station for *so much* that its a disservice to his growth as a person)

bottom is a rock by mother mother (my m9 as a whole song. the chorus has a line for each of them i stg and if i could reliably draw i would do an old school lyricstuck to it)

my verdict on ur playlist btw is that it is very solid and cohesive a+, but *just* to the left of my tastes, largely because a lot of it skews 70s/80s which just by nature of the beast lacks the bass i like (because it was mixed entirely different compared to modern music, which is better suited for sounding big when played digitally through smaller speakers. ive heard some of these bands on big sound systems and theyre MUCH more in line with my tastes then lmao)
