Deux mains sur le volant avec Kassie, transegenre d'Angers

Je crois être bien en contrôle ! Ce qui n'a pas toujours été le cas. J'ai cherché l'aide qu'il me fallait dans ma jeunesse et du coup me voici à 25 ans, plus mature que jamais. Je suis une belle bruntte, mais je reste avant tout une femme transgenre complexe. Du coup, j'ai besoin d'un mec avec de la substance. La beauté est secondaire pour moi.

Jacques Roulet (1598) - The "Werewolf of Angers."

Thirty-five-year-old Jacques Roulet was a beggar tried and convicted of being a werewolf in Angers, France.

In 1598 some men out in a remote area near Caude heard screaming and came upon two wolves tearing up the mangled and bloody freshly killed corpse of a boy. The wolves fled into the brush, and the men pursued them. Just as they lost the tracks, they found a half-naked man crouching in the thicket. He had long hair and beard, his hands were stained with blood, and his teeth were literally chattering in fear. The man had long, clawlike fingernails that were filled with the fresh blood and gore of human flesh.

The man, Jacques Roulet, confessed that he had smothered the boy to death, but said he had been prevented from eating him by the arrival of the men.

Roulet lived as a beggar, going from house to house with fellow beggars, his brother Jean and his cousin Julian. Roulet had been given lodging in a nearby village, but had been missing for eight days.

At his trial, Roulet testified that he transformed himself into a wolf with the help of an ointment given him by his parents. He did not know the ingredients in the ointment. He said the two wolves seen with the corpse of the boy were Jean and Julian, who also possessed the ability to take on wolf shapes. Roulet accurately described the boy who had been murdered, and the place and date. He accurately described the boy's father, who was the first to arrive when the boy screamed.

In prison, Roulet behaved like a madman. On his first day, he drank a pail of water and thereafter refused to eat or drink.

His parents testified at court and seemed to be normal, respectable folk. They provided evidence proving that Jean and Julian had been in distant locations on the day of the boy's murder.

Roulet said at his trial that he had killed and eaten other children, and also had attended witches' sabbats. He used his teeth to kill the boy. His feet and hands became wolf's paws, but his head remained human.

The court sentenced Roulet to death, but he appealed the sentence to the Parliament in Paris. He impressed the Parliament as more of a poor idiot than an evil creature, and so his sentence was commuted to two years' imprisonment in an insane asylum, during which he was to receive religious instruction.

Woe, but also, woah ... Because there is still a fuck load of beauty and stuff in the world. The world hasn't ended yet and still probably will not.
