Do you have any recommendations for gay horror?

*Cheshire cat smile* I do yeah. First off I highly suggest the works of gay film directors who worked in horror: James Whale, Joel Schumacher, Clive Barker, Jane Schoenbrun, Don Mancini, etc. Even if there aren't always explicit gay characters there are queer themes in their films and they are worth examining. Ok list time:

The Haunting (1963)

The Vampire Lovers (1970)

Shiver of the Vampires (1971)

Daughters of Darkness (1971)

The Velvet Vampire (1971)

The Blood Spattered Bride (1972)

Alucarda (1977)

Cruising (1980)

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981)

The Living Dead Girl (1982)

Tenebre (1982) [The feature film debut of trans actress Eva Robin's]

The Hunger (1983)

Gothic (1986)

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)

Poison (1991)

May (2002)

Hellbent (2004)

Seed of Chucky (2004)

All About Evil (2010)

Chillerama - I Was a Teenage Werebear segment (2011)

All Cheerleaders Die (2013)

Stage Fright (2014)

Good Manners (2017)

Thelma (2017)

Knife + Heart (2018)

What Keeps You Alive (2018)

Bit (2019)

Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street (2019) [this is a documentary but I'm gonna count it!]

Saint Maud (2019)

Death Drop Gorgeous (2020)

Titane (2021)

Huesera: The Bone Woman (2022)

As always, horror comes with triggers and some of these do have big homophobia warnings (Butcher, Baker especially).

A proper writeblr introduction

Hello people, you can call me Cosmo. I’m not a spacial doggy, no matter what the gossip says (I'm gonna turn this sentence in my new tagline). I have been around here for a while but I had never dared to do an introduction until now.

What can I say about me? I'm a Spaniard, my home is in Galician. I started to write in English to learn the language but I found out that I liked it.

I'm searching for other amateur writers. I'm really into urban fantasy, specially shapeshifters (you know, werewolves. I haven't gotten over Teen Wolf yet) and romance (with bi character is always better).

I have another blog for NSFW stories: @hotcosmo

My WIPS

Wolf Trip (My current WIP):

Senior year, the last chance to discover your true self before adult life. Jon was ready to enjoy it with epic plans: getting a spot on the basketball team, figuring out what university would be his new place the next fall, and of course, finding the absolute perfect prom date. But, seriously, since when do the plans of a seventeen-year-old boy work out as expected? Instead of parties and dealing with his new status like one of the popular kids, Jon found himself facing the fact that he's not your average human anymore. Romulo, the hot and strong young wolf who decided that Jon's essence was too irresistible not to spice up it with a little bite, had to deal with an emotional teen with a very aggressive newborn inside while they had to sprint across America to find a safe place where Jon can learn how to live in a world bigger than before. A world full of new creatures and magic where your position in the food chain may not be what you expected.

The Imperial Sorceress (complete):

Lady Dominica, High Sorceress of the Empire and the eldest of his coven, and his apprentice Ludovica have to confront a powerful semi-divine creature never seen before in imperial lands which is destroying the military forces of the empire and find out why the creature is helping the alliance of the Southern kingdoms to conquer the city of Lorencia.

Midnight rituals, season 1:

"A witch, a vampire, a werebear, and a human are in a clearing in the middle of a forest…" This could be the beginning of a bad joke or of a riddle; however, the witch was summoning an ancient demon while the human tried to avoid it; the witch and the vampire were in love but they fight more than anything else, and the werebear, well, he is there being a very handsome guy and tried to no one ended up dead. The peace of the small town of Santo Hills (Pennsylvania) is in danger and only the hardly credible team of four supernatural teenagers has some opportunity to avoid a massacre in the town.

Dylan, season 1:

"Do you know this feeling of whatever you do, you're going to fuck it? For me, it's not a feeling it's my day-to-day. Hooking up with someone older, yelling at my social worker, or kissing a girl for whom I feel nothing is only a small part of my problems. The big part is my powers which my family knows nothing about. Fuck, I don't know how I survive until graduation. I should talk to them, should I? Ahhh, fucking l…"

Malicious Wood:

"After Ragnarök, paradise emerged, Yggdrasil blossomed from its ashes, and a new pantheon was constructed, ushering in a new era. But time passed and nothing in this world was created to be at peace forever. Asktré accompanied by his sons Lunnec and Fenrir, return home after an arduous and fruitless journey. Against Aktré's wishes, they are unexpectedly drawn into the investigation of a series of mysterious murders in Odinia, Midgar. Could an Ashman and two hybrids discover the truth behind these heinous crimes? Malicious Wood serves as an enthralling introduction to New Yggdrasil a world base on Norse mythology post-Ragnarök where the delicate balance between Realms is starting to change. Can those born of an old world save a new one?"

From the "Wadzilla" segment which is way too good to belong in this anthology.

Chillerama, which I just watched, is one that makes me feel shamefaced for saying I loved anything to do with it, but well I really enjoyed that first segment. Although the feature's overall aesthetic is great, reviving the 40's-80's grindhouse movies, pretty much as a tribute to the drive-in era, the rest of it is just as dumb and mysoginist as one can be, even if "subtely". The Hitler one could have worked if it'd made me laugh and if the monster didn't look like Rob Zombie and Star Wars had a kid. "I was a teenage Werebear" was just boring non-sense even though it had some cool nasty scenes that I'll prolly gif. Beyond "Wadzilla", the "Deathication" thing was the most effective thing about this, giving me the instant urge to take a dump. At least I got a giggle outta that.

Dumb, unfunny and for most part just "eh.", this time not in a good way. Except for Wadzilla, again. That alone could be an 8 outta 10. So... still an ok watch for when you were working 'til late last night and your cat wakes you up at 5am so you watch something hopefully stimulant enough to keep you awake til the end (even though you struggled at times) and that doesn't ask for you to use too much of your brain.

Sorry, I know you probably get these a lot but could we recap

(The posts tagged with “#tsrpgau recap” summarize the events of the comic and asks, and lore that has been revealed thus far!)

inter-comic recaps: First  /   Prev  /   Next  /   All.

Contains: (Recap #24) Asks 123.2 (Interlude 3) - 125

~~~

(The Main Story)

While Logan and Virgil are still in the party, you ask them about Roman’s Werebear status; what Virgil called a “guy'ya athiyk.” 

Virgil explains that the bear Roman turns into is sort-of the same person, but also a completely different consciousness; a ghost-bear made of Fae magic who is possessing his body. He has the same personality as Roman, but a different brain and different memories...

Essentially, who Roman would be if he was born an animal.

Virgil, as a Ranger, is able to communicate with these Fae animal-ghost-things, hence his ability to talk to Robear! Annie can as well, since she is also a Fae magic-spirit creature. (she’s just the personification of an element, sea water/foam, instead of a beast)

Logan has done some research on the curse, and he has good news and bad news. 

Good news: Roman should have some cool new powers! His lycanthropy basically got an upgrade after he killed Jasper, the werewolf who turned him.

Bad news: The “upgrade” also means that Roman’s lycanthropy will be significantly harder to cure. PLUS, if he doesn’t learn to cooperate with it soon, eventually the Bear will take over his body entirely. This will erase his humanoid memories, and Roman will, essentially, die.

.

Logan and Virgil discuss some plans on how to continue Virgil’s sorcerer training!

Even after Elistraee’s warnings, Logan doesn’t seem keen to let Janus help in their lessons. (01, 02, 03, 04)

Logan doubts that Janus’s personal experience as a Sorcerer will be much help. There is no way to prove he and Virgil are even the same kind of sorcerer, and Janus isn’t trained to teach other people magic, which is a very dangerous field of work. But, he is persuaded to let Janus observe their classes, at least.

Janus seems to have a similar opinion towards Logan, assuming himself to be the most qualified teacher. It does not look like these two are going to get along...

.

You take a break to talk to the Empress for a moment, worried that something dangerous might be stalking the boys tonight. (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07)

Virgil had mentioned feeling watched in the ballroom, and you caught Marissa somehow scrying in on him and Roman earlier... Could there be a minion of the Dragon Witch with us tonight?

The Empress thinks its possible, but...

They would have to be a team; one accomplice/minion wearing a Touchstone magic item (like Logan’s earring or Virgil’s insignia) who is in the party tonight, and a magic user as powerful as the Empress or even stronger who is using that magic item as an antenna.

The accomplice would either have to be relatively weak and nonthreatening themselves, or if they were a powerful creature, able to cloak themselves under the radar of another creature of the same type. (Example: A powerful Celestial may be disguised by the presence of Roman and Remus, while a powerful Draconic creature may be disguised by the presence of Janus and Virgil, or a powerful Fae disguised by...well, everyone at this party.)

The accomplice could not be someone faithful to Lolth, or the Empress would have found them already.

We know Marissa is the magic user, but who is her spy?

You warn the Empress to have her army watch the ballroom closely, but that’s all you have deduced thus far...

.

The third hour is spent with Patton, who is encouraged to meet Remus in the combat ring!

Patton has let his tail loose as part of his costume! (Partially so the locals he meets will stop assuming he’s a human/dwarven teenager.) It seems to be littered with bruises, though you aren’t sure if they are from earlier in the party or from being tied to his leg these past few days....or years?

(Remus looks particularly annoyed when Patton says the bruises were from him “just being clumsy.” But, strangely, he doesn’t push the subject?)

The two front-line-fighters goad each other into a fight, Monk VS Barbarian!

The fight is neck-and-neck for a long time, with Patton doing way more damage, (like four times as much,) but Remus is soaking it up like a sponge with his insane HP. 

About 18 seconds into the fight Remus only has a fourth of his HP left, and in response to the pain he flies into a Rage! Magic light bursts out of him like a flashbang, blinding Patton and the drow spectators!! Patton is able to blindly climb up his back and try to choke him out before he escapes the ring and kills someone (or Patton himself,) but he’s not quite strong enough to manage it; both of them have only 2 HP left...

...And then one of the guards recovers from blindness and knocks Remus out with a blow to the head.

The guard, Commander Tsubya, admonishes Remus for blinding everyone in the room and losing control, kicking him out of the ring for tonight. They also congratulate Patton for lasting that long against “Malla A'ni De’anonen's mad dog.” The fight is ruled a tie.

Remus, enraged at the thought of a tie and very excited by Patton’s potential to be an equal challenge for him in combat, demands a rematch! 

Patton absolutely refuses. 

He also tries to pry into Remus’s rage ability, worried both for Remus and for the people around him, but Remus brushes him off about it.

Both of them have one Exhaustion Point from the fight.

Patton expresses some worries about what the group is meant to do from this point on, if they’re even still a group once they get to the capital... (01, 02)

.

You get a snippet into Patton’s childhood and adolescence; a montage of him “being clumsy” with his tail. 

You get to see Patton’s parents, who are all enamored with Patton’s cheerful and over-excitable nature, even when it leads to him unknowingly knocking things off of tables or spraining his tail from wagging it too hard. 

Then you get to see his ex, who seems to be the first to suggest that Patton should tie his unruly tail down...

Patton explains a bit about Halfling’s tails (tail-wagging, connection to mood, etc) and can’t seem to avoid bringing up his ex-fiancée... (01, 02, 03)

.

The fourth hour is spent with Roman, who finds Patton resting at the bar after his fight!

They talk about lots of things, mostly what their two groups did over the last day/week, the current state of their respective crushes, and their new looks!

They both dote on each other, Roman assuring Patton that he looks very attractive and cool with his tail out and his puffy coat, and Patton insisting that Roman still looks very regal and handsome with his new weight and hair. 

Roman decides to tell Patton the truth about he and Virgil’s duo time, even when it comes to the fight he started and the mean things he said. Patton appreciates his honesty, apologizing for holding him to a mean double-standard over his Aasimar secret. Their relationship is greatly improved! 

Roman delves into a mental monologue over his confusing experiences of romantic attraction, or partial lack thereof, which he doesn’t seem aware that you heard...

It is revealed that the two of them have discussed their toxic exes (Marissa and Richard) before to some extent.

You get an illustration of Marissa while Roman mentions her in his recap, but....she doesn’t look like the Dragon Witch??

Roman is worried about where he and Virgil stand. Patton reassures him that Virgil is clearly interested, and they’re also able to figure out that Virgil’s stressed about them possibly losing their memories to the Faewild!

Patton also reveals that he still has the purple worm-poisoned knife Virgil gave him, and suspects Logan still has his as well.

Patton mentions his fight with Remus, and Roman is furious. Patton is barely able to calm him down, but despite Patton’s protests Roman continues to speak hatefully about his brother...

The two of them drink as they talk, (Patton drinking much more than Roman,) and both are Tipsy by the end of the hour. 

They also haven’t been sticking as strictly to the nickname rule as they should have been...

.

...And right before their hour is up, Roman senses something dangerous near Annie!

Somehow able to track her location somewhat thanks to their fae-familial bond, Roman heads back to the Ballroom with Patton close behind!

.

(In Other News…)

Virgil worries about what to do the next time he sees Janus. (01, 02, 03)

Janus, for his part, asks all of you to vote him and Virgil as the next group in the minigame so that he can actually find him.

Logan and Virgil end up talking about the state of Virgil’s surface sickness, and the possible (but temporary) treatment provided by the Colony! (01, 02)

Virgil is half convinced to give it a shot, but he still worries that it will add too much time to their trip, or that he might hurt a Priestess in the process...

You and Virgil ask Logan about dragon hoarding behavior! (01, 02, 03)

You discuss the Elven religious/spiritual belief of Soul Splintering with Virgil and Logan. Logan seems somewhat disdainful of the concept, but Virgil really believes in it, even if some other elves use it cruelly. (01, 02, 03)

Virgil talks about his sisters, who he wasn’t actually related to, but they were all supposed to pretend they were actual siblings. Some of whom he genuinely cares about... (01, 02, 03, 04, 05)

Virgil (and Dragon Witch, and the Empress) elaborate on the “love potion incident” in his backstory, including the boyfriend who Virgil killed that night and one of Virgil’s own powerful nicknames. (01, 02, 03, 04, 05)

You tell Virgil about the NPCs in various rooms of the party that know him. (Brondhar and Illia, 02)

You ask the Empress how long Illia'Jhaerza has been in the colony, and she says she’s only been here for about a month, but she seems as trustworthy as recent-underdark-escapees go. She tells you to keep being wary of her, but that she’s no child of Lolth, either. (01, 02)

.

You learn more about Remus’s backstory, including the Barbarian tribe that took him in! (01, 02, 03, 04, 05,)

You learn more about Patton’s backstory, including his little siblings and his monastery! (01, 02, 03)

Patton talks about a new friend he made while making his costume, who helped him find clothes sized for Littlefolk. It’s Brondhar, the Dwarven Ranger who is allies with Virgil!  (01, 02)

You ask Remus about Celestials; what the categories of them are, where Aasimar fit in, what Domains are, how he and Roman are seen by Sune’s clergy, etc. (01, 02, 03, 04,)

He also talks a bit about Sune, like how she used to visit them as kids, which she apparently hasn’t done since. He doesn’t seem to believe that she’s in any danger; he thinks she’s just ignoring him as much as he’s been ignoring her. (01, 02)

You ask Remus and the Empress about the Curse of Achranoma, aka why someone’s magic manifests in a specific color! (More specifically, why is Roman’s red?) (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06)

.

Janus clarifies that his future visions will be less useful going forward, since he can’t predict things that will happen in his general vicinity or his own immediate future.

You also get some snippets into Janus’s backstory, though they are confusing and contradictory...? (01, 02)

.

The Empress refuses to help the boys avoid the Faewild’s memory loss, as is custom for the Colony. 

Roman seems more than a little reluctant to tell Remus about what’s been going on with Sune and her clergy.

Roman is asked about how Remus’s Rages started. (01, 02)

Though he seems interested in the idea, Roman elects not to pursue training as any other class than Paladin as long as he is still an Aasimar. (01, 02, 03, 04, 05)

.

You ask Remus, the Dragon Witch, and Roman about when Roman and Marissa were dating, and while DW is uncharacteristically avoiding the question, Remus and Roman have a lot to say... and what they say also contradicts earlier claims by DW? (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06)

Come to think of it, her timeline never made any sense... Has DW been lying about being Marissa???

.

(Game Mechanics)

You got a chart about who feels what for who! (it seems to have a glitch?)

Halloween 2019 Countdown: Films in LGBT Horror History

Chillerama “I Was a Teenage Werebear” (2011) segment dir. Tim Sullivan

A send up to films in the 50s and 60s such as I Was a Teenage Werewolf as well as more recent films such as The Lost Boys with homoerotic undertones. Writer and director Tim Sullivan is a gay man who wanted to create a horror parody centered around gay culture. The segment crosses many genres: musical, horror, romance, parody. Casting was difficult due to its explicit material and would eventually cast ex-p*rn star Sean Paul Lockhart.

I would love to know about the folders "mad prophetess," "squad apocalypse," and "wlw"

💛 @the-writing-reader

Oh goodness, okay! Sure.

mad prophetess:

a largely empty folder, this was intended to be my july 2021 project. i don’t remember,,, anything about it. from what i can gather, it’s about a single mom who always wanted to believe in the supernatural, and who as an adult found out that it was true and that she could be a part of it. as an adult, she runs a spiritual shop and lives in the apartment above with her two children.

squad apocalypse: 

only a couple of documents in this folder: vague summaries and ‘chapter one’ which is a good 4 and a half pages long. this one was about moon, a teenage (?) boy who walks into the end of the world alone - the first person he finds is this boy who bullied him all through high school, if i remember correctly. so they hate each other, moon hating the boy for being a bully, and boy hating moon because of some... internalized homophobia. the most important part of this story is that ‘hate your guts’ becomes their ‘i love you’ long before they can admit their feelings for each other.

w&w:

this folder is a lot more bulked up, though i still... don’t really remember writing this. that being said, it was 6 years ago. the full title of this is ‘which and where’, a play on words indicating, A) that the cast of characters primarily includes weres and witches, and B) the hunt which is the driving force of the novel. the general premise was mixing a bunch of tropes. there was alex, a werecat who put out an ad: he wants a pack of his own, but has no idea how to go about it. through the ad he meets toby [a werefox who owes her first child to a witch, aurelia], ramon [a werewolf who comes with a tagalong nature witch, nikki, though she would bristle at being referred to as ramon’s tagalong], and zack [a werebear with his adoptive sister, witchling leah]. the ‘hunt’ refers to a group of allied witches and vampires (? i think) who want the weres for their ‘harvestable ingredients’ and the witches for their ‘potent blood’. i don’t know man. i really don’t know.

anyway, thanks for the question, @the-writing-reader !! what an interesting trip down memory lane.

My stories

The Imperial Sorceress:

Lady Dominica, High Sorceress of the Empire and the eldest of his coven, and his apprentice Ludovica have to confront a powerful semi-divine creature never seen before in imperial lands which is destroying the military forces of the empire and find out why the creature is helping the alliance of the Southern kingdoms to conquer the city of Lorencia.

Midnight rituals, season 1:

"A witch, a vampire, a werebear, and a human are in a clearing in the middle of a forest…" This could be the beginning of a bad joke or of a riddle; however, the witch was summoning an ancient demon while the human tried to avoid it; the witch and the vampire were in love but they fight more than anything else, and the werebear, well, he is there being a very handsome guy and tried to no one ended up dead. The peace of the small town of Santo Hills (Pennsylvania) is in danger and only the hardly credible team of four supernatural teenagers has some opportunity to avoid a massacre in the town.

Dylan, season 1:

"Do you know this feeling of whatever you do, you're going to fuck it? For me, it's not a feeling it's my day-to-day. Hooking up with someone older, yelling at my social worker, or kissing a girl for whom I feel nothing is only a small part of my problems. The big part is my powers which my family knows nothing about. Fuck, I don't know how I survive until graduation. I should talk to them, should I? Ahhh, fucking l…"

Malicious Wood:

"After Ragnarök, paradise emerged, Yggdrasil blossomed from its ashes, and a new pantheon was constructed, ushering in a new era. But time passed and nothing in this world was created to be at peace forever. Asktré accompanied by his sons Lunnec and Fenrir, return home after an arduous and fruitless journey. Against Aktré's wishes, they are unexpectedly drawn into the investigation of a series of mysterious murders in Odinia, Midgar. Could an Ashman and two hybrids discover the truth behind these heinous crimes? Malicious Wood serves as an enthralling introduction to New Yggdrasil a world base on Norse mythology post-Ragnarök where the delicate balance between Realms is starting to change. Can those born of an old world save a new one?"

Original posts: Belle and Elsa, Rapunzel, Tiana, Jasmine, Merida, Ariel, Mulan.

The October art challenge I chose to loop myself into on Instagram was one where you draw Disney princesses in various traditional Halloween costumes (#royaltober21, it’s called). Me being me, I said no, traditional Halloween costumes, that’s not enough, surely I must make the Disney princesses as if they actually were some of these things, specifically in the world of True Blood ‘cause I’m that bitch. Some of these are based on actual screencaps from the show (Belle and Elsa, Tiana, Ariel) while the others are vibes or concepts. And yes, there’s some meta.

Belle and Elsa, you might guess, are witches, proper magic-doing Wiccan witches. They’re part of a coven in New Orleans, and unlike the coven seen in canon, it’s not run by a bitter lunatic who wants to kill vampires. They’re just hanging out, doing magic, figuring their shit out. (Elsa is newer to practicing, you see, and Belle is helping to teach her about having/using magic and how it’s not scary.)

Rapunzel and Tiana are both fairies. Rapunzel is full-blooded and was born in the fairy realm, but she came to Earth when the borders were about to close because she wants to actually enjoy her life, and now she does aerial silks at the fairy nightclub. Tiana is only part-fairy and, much like Sookie, is still learning about what that entails.

Neither Jasmine nor Merida is a werewolf, but they’re both weres. Jasmine is a tiger, obviously, and Merida is a bear. Weretigers are generally a little fancier than werewolves, but werebears are just as rough-and-tumble. They’re both what passes for social royalty in their little societies; Jasmine is every bit a queen bee, while Merida is just ready to throw down and prove herself.

Finally, we’ve got our vampire babes. Ariel is literally just Jessica: she was turned unwillingly but now holy shit she loves being a vampire, it’s so much more fun than being an overprotected human teenager. (She can wear whatever she wants! She can say swears! She can... kiss!) Mulan, meanwhile, both is and isn’t Tara. Her life has been much less fraught, but you better believe she can cage fight and bartend with the best of them. (She’s seen here after grabbing a drink of her own in the Fangtasia bathroom.)

This is an incredibly niche little project of mine, and I know that, but I’m still quite proud of it.

Close starter for @garethbradbury​​

“I would smack you in the head for not paying me a visit, but hell, Gareth,” Yip crossed his arms as he leaned against the door frame, dark brow arched as he looked at the man. “You looked like someone has stuffed your mouth with cheap sugar based fake blood on Halloween.” Despite the teasing, Yip pushed himself off the doorframe and moved closer to the shapeshifter. He has known Gareth long enough to know that the werebear would not leave a matter unresolved if it was an obstacle that could be overcome physically.

Which meant this was likely to be more of a...situation that required a delicate touch. And as much as Yip spoils this brat, that was never the shapeshifter’s strong suit.

“Let me guess,” Yip softened his tone, “Someone said something and it involves emotions. Probably asking for some sort of emotional commitment that you believe you are unable to give? Then you told yourself you shouldn’t give a damn about it, but somehow it bothers you?” There was no mocking in his voice. Yip has always cared for those who was related to him by blood. For a second, Yip almost felt like he was one of those father figure from those teenager romantic tv show, but if that was what the shapeshifter needed him to be, then he would gladly take a role.

Or he could be wrong with what was troubling the man. Either way, Yip was there to listen.

“You can talk to me, you know.”

Writing practice.

Asbjorn sighed and eyed the tiny grey cat that gazed back at him, eyes slightly narrowed in annoyance. " You really want me to, huh?" He asked. The cat nodded and settled into resting position, a position he called the breadloaf because she looked like one. He grinned as the cat shot him a death stare. She had heard that then. Well, linking minds didnt come with its drawbacks. Not that he gave a shit, truth be told.

Settling back in her chair, he picked up the electronic tablet and read the instructions listed. Listen to the audio on the tablet and answer honestly. Simple enough. Nodding, he pressed the audio button and listened and then frowned. He stared at his hands for bit, taking a deep breath now and then to settle the swirl of emotions that engulfed him suddenly. Of all the questions...

"Why?!" He demanded and the cat cocked its head slightly, green eyes alert. A silvery voice echoed in his thoughts, "it is necessary to look at your past so you can establish your future."

For a moment, he considered leaving. His creator she might be, but his past was his own, wasnt it? He gave a hollow laugh as he realized his mistake. Even that wasn't his either. Fuck it. He didnt want to. He had better things to do then this. As he stood to leave, the silvery voice spoke again.

"While I may have created you, the story is your own. It is driven by you, the muse. I am only an observer in your life. I take no credit in your past or future. My only purpose here to write it down, to give it life in whatever way I can. My question was not meant to hurt you. I only want to understand it."

He paused, considering the grey cat as it gazed back at him. The green eyes that had shone so vibrantly earlier were muted and dulled now. As they stared at each other, she issued a soft meow at him. He hesitated and then reached out, gently scratching under her ears, listening to her purr under his touch. He continued for a moment, then sighed and sank back in his chair, aware of her eyes on him. The silence felt endless as he debated with his emotions but in the end he nodded, swallowing the hard lump in his throat as he did.

"Very well. But this is the only time."

He picked up the tablet, pressing the audio as he did so and the emotionless voice asked again the question that brought up a piece of his past that he didn't want to remember.

"What happened on the day you parents passed?"

He took a deep breath and began.

"Its's my fault my parents are dead." He said,feeling the sharp familiar stab of shame and anguish pierce him once again. " I wanted to go hunt that day but my Da said no . That the day didnt feel right. But I didnt care, I thought he was just wanted me home to do extra chores around the camp. He said he would take me hunting on another day but I was angry and impatient. I waited til he left to speak to Thorigg and then I stuck out."

He paused again and rubbed his face, struggling to keep his tone from cracking. In his minds eye, he could see his father stern face soften slightly at his teenage sons impatience, watched his hand as he grasped his sons shoulder as he uttered his familar mantra of "Young pups who see the prey before the pack dont survive long." A warning he wished he had listened to.

He shook his head, banishing the scene and continued, struggling to keep his tone even. " I headed towards a spot I always found prey at. But as I got closer, i noticed there was something different. The sounds of wildlife that were normally present were quiet. I figured that maybe I had scared them with my presence so I decided to go hunt somewhere else. Then the smell of bear hit me."

He paused and took a moment to collect himself. " I didn't have a chance. Before I could run, one of the werebears picked me up my my neck and then threw me against a tree. I tried to get up but before I could, another one jumped on me and I nearly passed out from the weight of the bastard as he held me down. I heard them say that my pelt would be a fine addition to the other werewolves they collected. Suddenly I smelled a familiar scent and then my father burst out from the nearby brush, my mother close behind him."

Once again, he saw the scene so vividly. His father, huge in his werewolf form, roaring a challenge to his sons attackers as he rushed to his aid while his mother issued her own, her silver great sword lashing out, piercing the nearest beast's hide and causing it to snarl in rage as it back ed away. His tone cracked as he continued.

"My father knocked the one that held me off and tore its throat out. But that victory didnt last long as 2 more swarmed him. He managed to break free for a moment and the last I saw of him, he had them at bay, with them circling him before my mother dragged me away."

He looked down his hands again, clenching them so hard it hurt. " We ran for abit,but then we heard yelps of pain that cut abruptly. My mother wanted to go back, I could tell, but instead she pushed us on, towards home. But we didnt make it too far before the smell of bear was upon us and then we saw him. I didnt have a chance to dodge before it lashed out with its paw, its claws tearing at my face and sending me flying. I lay there crying, unable to see and then I heard my mother scream out to me " Run Asbjorn! RUN!! As I got up, I heard the cracking of bone and the hiss of pain as she shifted become a snarl. I heard her roar and werebear answer her and then the sound of them fighting with each other. "

He smiled bitterly. "I ran as my mother asked. I couldn't see where I was going so I tripped and fell over everything. I ran as far as I could before the pain in my face became too much and I passed out. The next thing I knew I was in Ravenrock, in the care of a dunmer healer, Aphia Velothi. A local hunter had found me and had brought me to her. I stayed under her care for over a month. She managed to save my eyesight and could've removed the scars as well. But I refused to let her. They are a reminder of what my stupidity cost me. "

He looked up at the cat with reddened eyes. "There, are you satisfied? Did that help build the story for you? Do you need to know how much I hate myself because I'm the reason they're dead?!"

The cat stood and stared at him for a long moment, her expression unreadable and then in one fluid motion leapt, landing lightly in his lap. As he reached to fling her off, she wrapped her small paws around his neck and began to purr.

"Dont blame yourself. You were just a child, Asbjorn."

The hand he had placed on her stilled then trembled. With a shaky hand, he began to pet her, unaware of the hot tears that splashed into her fur as he struggled to contain memories that threatened to overwhelm him.
