#gandillon werewolves

[archivist-crow]

Gandillon Werewolves (1598) - A French family of werewolves.

The bizarre case of the Gandillon family involved a sister, her brother, and two of his children who ravaged the Jura area in wolf forms.

The case unfolded with Pernette Gandillon, a poor girl who ran about on all fours in the belief that she was a wolf. One day while in her wolf madness, she came upon a boy and girl, siblings, who were out gathering wild strawberries. A blood rage came upon Pernette, and she attacked the girl. The girl's four-year-old brother successfully fended Pernette off with a knife. Pernette turned on the boy and dealt him a fatal slash to his neck. The girl identified Pernette as the attacker. Enraged peasants seized Pernette and tore her to pieces.

Soon thereafter, Pernette's brother, Pierre, was accused of witchcraft. He was said to kidnap children and take them to witches' sabbats, to make damaging hail, and to transform himself into a wolf. The transformation was made possible by an ointment he had received from the devil. On one occasion, Pierre changed into a hare, but usually he was a wolf, with long, shaggy gray hair.

Pierre readily acknowledged that these charges were true. Furthermore, while in the form of a wolf, he had killed and eaten animals and humans. When he wanted to resume his human form, he rolled in dewy grass.

Pierre's son, Georges, confessed that he too had used the ointment to become a wolf. Once he had killed and eaten two goats. During his adventures as a wolf, his human body would lie in a cataleptic state for hours in his bed. Once this state had lasted for three hours, during which he went off to a witches' sabbat.

Both Pierre and Georges had terrible scars upon their faces, arms, and legs, the result of dog bites they had received while in the form of wolves.

Pierre's daughter, Antoinette, confessed that she had sold her soul to the devil, who had appeared to her in the form of a black cat. She made hail and attended sabbats.

In prison, Pierre and Georges behaved like raving maniacs, running about their cells on all fours and howling. They did not change shape into wolves, because, it was believed, they did not have their magical ointments with them.

All three—Pierre, Georges, and Antoinette— were convicted, hanged, and burned.

Time Travel Question : Murder and Disappearance Edition I

Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.

Some people were a little confused. Edward V and Richard of Shrewsbury are the Princes in the Tower.

This novel is from 1933, I would love to know where the author got all of this, I want his research notes

[indigenousandangry]

I’m reading Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause for the first time since I was in Jr. High. I’m almost finished with it. Considering writing a review since reading it as an adult was a very different experience from reading it as a teenager.

[bloodandchocolatefans]

Vivian’s full name is Vivian Gandillon - the writer created Vivian's character as a descendant of the medieval Gandillon family who, in the late 16th-century France, were accused and executed for being werewolves. The term “loup-garou” is used several times in the movie, meaning werewolf in French.

This is a painting of Henri Boguet, the French judge who recorded the Gandillons’ story and took part in their trial.

Blood and Chocolate: An Adaptation in Name Only

Previously: Section 0 - Introduction

Section 1 – The Book

Preface: The 1997 novel Blood and Chocolate is DENSE.  The paperback only spans 264 pages, but the story follows the coming of age of a dynamic and flawed female protagonist, encompasses ancient werewolf legends and laws, goes in depth into lycanthropic politics, and also features a love triangle, a teenage soap opera, a forbidden romance, and a goddamned murder mystery.

Summary: Vivian Gandillon is a 15-year-old werewolf.  A year after her father was killed in the fire that destroyed their home, Vivian is lost and grieving while her leaderless pack falls apart in the Maryland suburbs that they fled to.  Aiden, a tall, gentle human classmate attracts her attention and presents Vivian an escape from the tangled, animalistic world of werewolves.  Keeping her lycanthropy secret, Vivian begins to date Aiden, defying the laws of her people.   Vivian is pressured to break things off by her mother, her five delinquent age-mates, and the would-be leader, Gabriel. Gabriel, a 24 year-old welder, is attractive, intimidating and the object of intense romantic competition.  He, more than any other, tries to convince Vivian that her dalliance with a human is dangerous, eventually revealing that he speaks from painful personal experience. The story twists and turns, tearing Vivian and Aiden apart while pulling Vivian and Gabriel together.  In the end, through many trials, Vivian discovers that she can’t escape either her human or her animal nature, and must embrace both.  

Themes: Vivian’s central character arc finds her struggling with what she wants as opposed to what she needs.  At the opening of the novel, Vivian wants to escape the violent chaos of her pack, with its painful history and uncertain future. She finds that escape in Aiden, with his Beaver Cleaver family, his lovably quirky friends, and his sweetness and simplicity.   However, when the time comes to reveal the hidden aspects of her identity, Aiden can’t handle it.  Despite his supernatural curiosity, he cannot accept the supernatural when it presents itself to him.  His rejection sends Vivian into a tailspin of self-destruction that only ends when she accepts the love that Gabriel is offering, a love that honors all of what she is.  To ultimately find happiness, Vivian had to give up what she wanted and embrace what she needed. In addition to this, there is also a great deal of time in the novel spent contrasting the human and the animal sides of Vivian’s nature.  Her two suitors Aiden and Gabriel represent, respectively, the human and the animal. Scenes of Vivian socializing with Aiden and his human friends are juxtaposed with scenes of Vivian’s werewolf pack brutally vying for dominance.  The very title of the book is a reference to this dichotomy, Blood – representing Vivian’s animal desires, and Chocolate – representing Vivian’s human longings.   Throughout the novel, Vivian swings between these two extremes, at one point drinking herself into a heartbroken stupor over Aiden, then blacking out and waking up in her bed next to a severed hand. She tries, in her romance with Aiden, to balance her human and animal sides, but she only achieves that balance with Gabriel, a partner who also exists in the grey area between man and beast.

Highs: These are the aspects of the novel have captivated my imagination and kept this book in my collection for so long.

o   Werewolf Society:  It’s a damn shame that Klause hasn’t written more stories within this framework, because it is absolutely ripe for exploration and development.  The enormous potential here is one of the primary reasons why this book has held my fascination for so long and why I have written so much (published and unpublished) fanfiction for it.

o   Flawed Characters: No one who’s read the book will tell you that Vivian is perfect or even likeable 100% of the time, but it fits with her characterization as a grieving, lost teenager and serves to make her all the more like an actual person.  Most of the characters are like that, with their good qualities balanced or sometimes overwhelmed by their less savory sides.  It makes the fictional world feel richer and more realistic, despite the supernatural elements.

o   Consequences: The characters in this novel make real, awful mistakes, and they face lasting consequences for them.  One of Vivian’s mistakes – maiming Astrid while defending her mother, directly leads to Vivian’s ex, Rafe, getting sucked into Astrid’s revenge plot, leading to Vivian being framed for murder and the eventual executions of both Rafe and Astrid, during which Vivian is accidentally shot by Aiden.  

CONSEQUENCES!   They make the story more believable, more suspenseful, and this novel, with its cast of flawed characters, would not have worked without them.

o   Assertive Female Protagonist: Vivian is refreshingly frank about her desires, which is very noticeable in her courtship with Aiden.  Aiden assumes that he has to advance their physical relationship slowly so as to not frighten or offend Vivian, while Vivian urges him on.  She doesn’t hesitate when going after what she wants, and she’s not ashamed of her sexuality.  It’s a welcome change from the restrictions that western society places on female desire, and I’d like to see more characters like her.

Lows:  Blood and Chocolate is far from perfect, but, in my opinion, there are three glaring flaws in this book, and I would be remiss if I didn’t address them.

o   The Esme Question: The first point is one that, once seen, cannot be unseen. Vivian’s mother, Esme, is one of the women competing for Gabriel’s affections at the beginning of the novel.  It is established that they go on dates (“Saw your mother go into Tooley’s bar with Gabriel last night.” p. 18), but Klause is not explicit about how far their relationship has gone.  This ambiguity leaves open a potentially disturbing possibility:  

It is canonically possible that Gabriel had a sexual relationship with Esme and then moved on to sexually pursue her daughter, Vivian.

Personally, I can reasonably believe that Gabriel and Esme never progressed beyond idle flirting because:

a.       Vivian strikes me as the type of person who would mark her mother’s sexual partners as “off limits”.

b.       Up until just past the Ordeal scene, both Esme and Astrid are still fighting over Gabriel, implying that neither of them had really “won” him.  

c.       The possibility outlined above seems like it would be a bridge too far to be included in a YA novel, especially in the 90′s.  

Your mileage may vary.  I’ve seen reviews of the book whose negative ratings hinge on the fact that Gabriel dated Esme at all, irrespective of whether their relationship was sexual or not.  Honestly?  I can’t blame them.  If the mere existence of this possibility squicks you out, then it’s likely going to sour the ending and ruin the rest of the book for you.

o   The Age Differences: The second point is the least defensible. At the end of the novel, Vivian is 16 and Gabriel is 24.  That minor/adult 8 year age gap constitutes a “yikes” in my part of the world.  Klause skirts this by establishing that werewolf society has some stark differences with human society, namely that a 16 year old female is considered an adult by werewolf law.  This is still a rather uncomfortable detail to be included in an American YA novel, and the older I get, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

In addition to the Vivian/Gabriel age gap, there is the even wider Astrid/Rafe age gap. Rafe is Vivian’s ex and age mate, although there are reasons to assume that he is slightly older than her.  This places him somewhere in a probable 16-18 age range. He is canonically younger than 21, which makes him, according to werewolf law, not yet an adult.  Astrid has a son who is also Vivian’s age, which places Astrid somewhere in her late 30’s to mid 40’s.  In the book, Astrid and Rafe have a sexual relationship.

To be fair to Klause, this is framed in the novel as being toxic and ultimately destructive to both Astrid and Rafe.  Near the end of the story, Rafe finally realizes that Astrid has been taking advantage of him, turning Rafe, in my opinion, into a tragic victim of manipulation.  

Let me leave this segment with a PSA:

If you’re reading this and you’re underage, please don’t enter into a “relationship” with an adult.  The adults in these scenarios in the real world are predators, and they’re preying on your inexperience and naïveté.  They know that you probably won’t recognize relationship red flags and they think they can pressure you into doing unsafe and unhealthy things in the name of “love”. Stay safe, kids!

o   Sexual Harassment:   My third and final low point is one that I have very mixed feelings about.  As a result, this is the longest segment of this post, so strap in. In the novel, many of the interactions between Vivian and male characters are inappropriately sexual.  The most egregious offenders are the Five, Gabriel, and Aiden’s father. The Five, Vivian’s male werewolf peers, are crass, rude and arrogant.  Led by Rafe, they display a lot of entitlement for Vivian’s affections.  The most pointed (and gross) of these displays happens on p.41:

“You’re not Princess Wolf now,” Rafe growled behind her.  “Wait too long and we’ll take what we want.” 

That?  Yeah, that’s a direct rape threat!  Rafe also goes on to grope Vivian at her birthday party.  He’s a peach!   Gabriel’s harassment mostly takes the form of unwanted advances.  It peaks after the Ordeal, the battle royale where Vivian accidentally wins the right to be Gabriel’s mate.  In the aftermath, Gabriel corners Vivian in her kitchen, forces a non-consensual kiss on her and declares his intentions to court her.   Aiden’s father is notable in the contrast he provides.  Vivian only interacts with him once, when Aiden invites her to a family cookout. During this scene, he repeatedly leers at her, makes suggestive comments and on p. 79:

Vivian could hear the innuendo in Mr. Teague’s voice.  It made her skin crawl.

However, if you compare Mr. Teague’s harassment to Gabriel, the Five and others, you’ll find that there is a significant difference in Vivian’s reaction.  Vivian isn’t afraid to bite back at the Five’s harassment – scoring vivid revenge for Rafe’s groping when she injures his genitals.  She tries to do the same to Gabriel when he forces a kiss on her, but he relents on his own.   We see a similar dynamic when Esme snaps at Bucky, another male werewolf, who catcalls her in a bar.  This forms a pattern which suggests that forceful sexuality is a feature of werewolf culture.  Vivian confirms this the first time that she and Aiden kiss on p. 51:

“He was gentle.  She hadn’t expected that.  Kisses to her were a tight clutch, teeth, and tongue.”

And this is where my mixed feelings come in. I don’t condone the harassment that Vivian experiences, but I understand why Klause wrote it.  Any author writing inhuman characters can’t simply tell us that they are inhuman, they have to show it.  The forceful sexuality of the werewolf characters in this book is one way that Klause clearly shows that they are NOT human and serves as a contrast to the human characters.   But where does Aiden’s dad fit into this?  His harassment is milder than the Five’s or Gabriel’s, but it disgusts Vivian in a way that the other harassment didn’t.  Why?  Sexual harassment seems to be a constant feature of her pack life.  This isn’t even the only time that an older man leers at her – on p. 115, in the same scene where Esme gets catcalled:

Some of those male eyes strayed to Vivian, too, and she preened at the thought of being a threat.

That’s a far cry from the skin-crawling disgust she felt with Mr. Teague, but it’s basically the same offense.  What’s different?  We find it in a conversation with him on p. 74:

“I would think a girl like you would go out with someone older.” He winked at Vivian. Like someone your age?  Vivian thought, repelled by the man’s lack of loyalty to his son.

Vivian’s disgust stems from the fact that the man flirting with her is her boyfriend’s father.  She’s shown to welcome sexual attention from other older men, and she has no problems handling more overt harassment, but the paternal disloyalty sickens her. The overt sexual harassment is there, and if it makes it impossible for you to enjoy the book, I don’t blame you.  Your feelings are valid, and I’m not going to tell you that you’re wrong.  Personally, I understand the authorial reasoning behind its inclusion, and its utility as a characterization tool, so it doesn’t prevent me from enjoying the story. Your mileage may vary.

Verdict: The 1997 novel Blood and Chocolate is flawed, but fascinating.  It sets multifaceted characters into a tantalizing world of men and monsters, where the line between good and evil is blurred into nonexistence.  It is, despite its problematic elements, my favorite book.

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause

Vivian Gandillon relishes the change, the sweet, fierce ache that carries her from girl to wolf. At sixteen, she is beautiful and strong, and all the young wolves are on her tail. But Vivian still grieves for her dead father; her pack remains leaderless and in disarray, and she feels lost in the suburbs of Maryland. She longs for a normal life. But what is normal for a werewolf? Then Vivian falls in love with a human, a meat-boy. Aiden is kind and gentle, a welcome relief from the squabbling pack. He’s fascinated by magic, and Vivian longs to reveal herself to him. Surely he would understand her and delight in the wonder of her dual nature, not fear her as an ordinary human would. Vivian’s divided loyalties are strained further when a brutal murder threatens to expose the pack. Moving between two worlds, she does not seem to belong in either. What is she really—human or beast? Which tastes sweeter—blood or chocolate?

*What I thought: 3.5 out of 5 stars

read: 1/19

I watched the movie long time ago and I really liked it so of course when I saw it was a book, I had to read it. It is vastly different from the movie (I like the movie more). I thought it was an alright book. Vivian bothered me sometimes. Her way of thinking almost annoyed me at times. Mainly when it came to Aiden. i.e. like she assumes how he’s going to feel about what she is and her ideas of their future. She never really took her head out of her butt to think things through.

I like the idea of the werewolves and how they slightly differ from the norm. I didn’t like how the rules of the werewolves were that the women are on the bottom of the totem pole. The cat fights were gag worthy. I like the twists when it came to these suspicious murders. I thought what Vivian thought was real when it came to them at first.

The ending was a little weird. I didn’t like how that went. Oh well.

Sims 3: Wild Darlings

Wild Prom Night

We'll start the photo slide show with this one of the family's menagerie of magic gnomes hanging out together in their yard. Wonder what stories the 'Laundry Gnome' is telling.

Hello and welcome back to the Darling family home in Moonlight Falls where you enjoy musical entertainment from Ana, Dana and Korbin who love to play their guitars and bass. Please help yourselves to a glass of nectar and a serving of cheese plate made with fresh grapes from Champs Les Sims that Dana brought back France on her recent trip to there. Sit back and relax as Dana shares pictures of her first week back home from university including a couple of birthdays, high school prom romances and new career.

Rosalee in her new athletic outfit.

First off, let's all wish Dana's younger sister, Koralee a very happy teen birthday, who along with being a genius and having a great sense of humor now loves to read any book she can get her hands on. Koralee and her older brother, Korbin were also bitten by the high school prom romance bug and are now in the 'romantic interest' stage with one of their classmates. Korbin and his best friend, Hank Gandillon who is also a teen werewolf turned out to be the cutest couple of the prom which also happened to be the full moon.

Dana chatting with Noelle after delivering the novel she ordered from her. They quickly became friends.

Despite passing out from fear when her brother changed into his wolf form, Koralee had a great night, too and started a romantic relationship with fellow classmate, Nathanial Levin. Since Koralee is a three star celebrity, the paparazzi got her in trouble later by reporting that she had passed out. Koralee really is fine with her father and brother being werewolves but it's the changing from human to wolf part still terrifies her but she'll get used to it in time.

Dana entering one of the tomb rooms at that the Forgotten Burial Ground while looking for Jeannine's lost baseball.

Dana spent much of her first few days at home after graduating from university writing a science fiction novel for a merchant in France who wanted to buy a book from her. She then took the family's first trip to Champs Les Sim to deliver the finished novel to Noelle Saint James who also happened to be the nectar merchant at the nectary located on the outskirts of the town. Dana also harvested some nectar grapes to take home with her and purchased some shelves so where her mother, Ana could store the bottles of nectar she had collected during the many adventures she had in China and Egypt. Since Noelle gave Dana a huge discount on her purchases for being a celebrity, she also purchased a nectar maker so that someone could learn the skill back home. During her trip, Dana also helped the local general merchant, Jeannine Lambert by finding her lost baseball that had fallen down a hole there when she was playing catch with her father one day.

Ana in her new everyday 'senior' outfit.

Ana Darling also recently celebrated a birthday and has now reached her golden senior years. Since she loves her work as a 'Hit Movie Composer' in the music career, Ana has no plans of retiring at this time. She also took a short trip to Egypt to complete a challenge given to her by Miriam Hoppcraft, who is the leader of the local adventure club, who issued Ana an invitation to join the club but had to prove herself by first disarming a trap in one of the tombs in Egypt. Ana completed this task when she was asked by Farouk Rashid to disarm the traps in his basement that the previous owners had set down there. After completing the task, Ana found out why the traps were there when she investigate a hidden room with a staircase to a lower room that had two sarcophaguses. She accidently woke up one of the mummies down there when opening a treasure chest she found. Once the mummy goes back to bed, the downstairs area in Farouk's house should be safe as long as he doesn't open any treasure chests.

Ana looking for the switch to turn off the flame traps behind the wall as she begins her mission to disarm the traps in Farouk's basement.

That's all of the Darling family news for now. Someday, Koralee will take over the family pen for generation two but not until she graduates from high school. Until then Dana along with the rest of her family look forward to their next visit with you all.

Ana breaking the boulder she found behind a hidden door in Farouk's basement. Curiosity got the best of her and she decided to find out what was on the other side.

Ana found out why that boulder was at the top of the stairs when she woke up this mummy when she opened the treasure chest. She headed back up the stairs before the mummy could pick a fight with her. Author's note: I have had a Sim defeat this mummy but that only woke up a second mummy that was in the other sarcophagus but he could not win the fight with that one.

Have a great week everyone!

The Darling Family

[wolfman1138]

Hey did you know that they burned werewolf's and gays durning the time of the Salem witch trials too ;)

Yes. Moretic tells me about it a lot and I have a few tomes here that talk about it. Peter Stumpp was tried and executed as a werewolf in Germany. Word of it was passed to France…..and everyone lost their minds! Gilles Garnier, the Gandillon family, Jean Grenier. All executed as werewolves….now I won’t say they weren’t….but damn! They killed people who had odd sleeping patterns, who were hairy, who didn’t talk to others very much. They were killing themselves more than they were killing us!

The Beast of Gévaudan is a favorite though. That guy was killed TWICE! And when he was alive, it was livestock, guys who stupidly tried to fight it, and children stolen from open windows! HE knew how the werewolf business goes!

Another thing to note, the French wrote a familiar story during those times. It was about a little girl who meets a wolf on her way to her grandma’s house…….sound familiar? Ask yourself why Little Red Riding Hood didn’t panic when she met the wolf in the woods during the day but later that night as she prepared for bed, slowly (part by part) recognised the monster she mistook for a human being (her own grandmother, no less). Red Riding Hood is my favorite fairy tale.
