wolf pack :)))

[alltimefail-sims]

Does it ever drive you crazy, just how fast the night changes...

Alongside addressing general wolf-lore, my next "Deep Dive" post will have an entire section on Jacob Volkov, Lou Howell, Rory Oaklow, and Celene López due to the significant role they play in my personal story and lore around Moonwood Mill. The lore I have for them spans a pretty decent chunk of time, ranging roughly from the time Jacob is 13 - younger than we see here - up until they're all in their 40s (which is where I always start my werewolf save), and there's no better way for me to illustrate that than a visual aid!

Note: The top row is Jacob Volkov, second row is Lou Howell, the third row is Rory Oaklow, and the fourth row is Celene López. The first column depicts each of them as teens (a flashback for the older three, but where Jacob is when you start the game), second column they are young adults (a flash into the future for Jacob, but where the game picks up for Lou/Rory/Celene), and the third and final column depicts them as "older" adults.

I've included full body shots of their outfits below the cut for those who are curious. <3

🐺 Volkov

As the longtime leader of the Moonwood Collective, disciplined Kristopher has saved many displaced werewolves including the once half-feral Lily & lost Jacob (who bears the same calm, intense soul as his adoptive father). After Kristopher's wild-hearted adopted child Rory separated to run her own pack, he & the herbalist Lily have been guiding Jacob to become a strong, self-sufficient leader for the Collective in his wake. How will sociable Jacob lead the pack?

Kristopher Volkov

The unofficial mayor of Moonwood Mill and leader of the Moonwood Collective, a werewolf pack that believes in self control in the face of fury-based urges. To honor his mother, he wishes to see her self-sufficient community continue to thrive under his adopted son Jacob. While supportive of his other adopted child Rory, he fears that she will cross a line. Beside balancing books and acting as a spokesperson, he finds joy in making kombucha and fulfilling orders as a reliable freelance craftsman.

Jacob Volkov

A friendly young pacifist who takes his future role as pack leader seriously but is feeling the mounting pressure. His unwavering loyalty to the man who saved him motivates him to work toward 'the best version' of himself, but sometimes he feels like an imposter putting on an act. While creating meals in the kitchen is his passion, he finds his vegetarian cooking at odds with the other werewolves' dietary preferences. He's grateful to have Lily who shares her knowledge of the forest's bounty.

Lily Zhu

A cheery but jumpy herbalist who distributes various remedies, including the werebies cure. Since Kristopher guided her away from nearly becoming fully feral, Lily uses her close connection with the earth to forage and create mixtures. Even though her achy body has been alive for many years past her time, she does not cure her own lycanthropy in hopes to have time to rekindle the childhood bond she had with her cousins. In the meantime, she adores cooking with Jacob and caring for the locals.

Tricked.

Dating two werewolves means you'll get your fair share of scratches and bruises but at least the love is sweet and tender.

prev / next

Jacob: Hey.

Ian: Hey! You’re early!

Jacob: Oh, am I? The flyer said the show starts at 9.

Ian: Well, yeah! It’s exactly 9 o’clock. That means be here by 10:30, silly. That’s ok, I’m happy to have company while I set up.

Ian: Ok, what’s with the shirt?

Jacob: Heh...Amir made me wear it for tonight.

Ian: I should have known. Our guy is something else.

Ian: Aww ouchh...sorry. My arm.

Jacob: Are you sure it’s ok for you to play tonight?

Ian: Yeah, just gotta take it easy. Plus, it’s only 3 songs then I’m gonna take a knee. No worries.

Jacob: [sighs] I feel like shit when we hurt you, Ian...wouldn’t it be easier if you just turned?

Ian: Of course it’d be easier but, I can’t do something like that when I know my heart’s not in it- yet! I still want to tour and be a no name rock star. It’s the only thing I can commit to right now besides you and Mir.

Jacob: Yeah...

Ian: Dude, I respect your culture. Like, alot. I know how important is it to be fully immersed in it and when I join your pack, it’s because I’m ready to dedicate everything to it.

Jacob: No, I get it. You’re right. You’d make a great wolf, Ian. You’re loyal.

Ian: Yeah? Wait, do you think I’d have blonde fur?

Jacob: I don’t think that’s how it works. It’s kind of random.

Ian: So there’s a chance I could be a ginger wolf...?

Jacob: You could, and you’d be so cute.

Amir: Guess who got half off the liquorrr to celebrateeee!

Amir: Like our shirts?

Ian: I love them! I’m glad you’re back in time to see me play, babe. How was Batuu?

Amir: Fun until my little cousin got lost again. I saw at least 20 other kids with leashes on, I don’t know why she doesn’t wear one.

Ian: Maybe it’s because-

Jacob: Sorry, Ian. Can’t get enough of Mir’s scent.

Ian: [laughs] It’s ok. I get it. Wolf stuff.

Lana [bandmate]: You ever get jealous seeing them together?

Ian: I don’t think so. Not anymore, anyway. I love seeing them together. They’re so happy, it makes me happy. We’re happy.

Lana: That’s cool man.

Amir: [giggling] Get over here, Ian!

Ian: Okie!

grand occult baking championship || episode 1.7

Just a little interlude before judgment!

In case you haven't seen it, I've been posting little interviews with the cast. Please feel free to send me questions, anonymously or not! I'll put them up in batches between posts.

first // prev // next

Most characters have canon origin stories! It's just Elle, L, Brandy, and Morgyn who don't. Caleb isn't wrong about how long it would take to get through it all, but I can make some space at the bottom of the post :)

canon

Most of this comes from dialogue from Werewolves, which I put up here.

Celene & Lou: attacked by Greg while on a date after Lou provoked him - she took the cure, he thought he could ride it out.

Lily: fled into the tunnels when Vlad tried to turn her, where she was bitten by a rabid werewolf. Spent years wandering around feral before Kristopher found her.

Caleb: turned by Miss Hell in a bar bathroom with the door on backwards. It's unclear whether he asked to turn or not, but I'd say most likely not.

Jacob: got lost in the woods as a small child after being traumatically separated from his family. He was hunted by a werewolf and a vampire, and then rescued by Kristopher.

Wolfgang: visited Moonwood Mill to escape the rat race in San Myshuno, decided he liked the werewolf lifestyle, and asked Kristopher to turn him.

Inna: turned by Caleb in the official trailer. Based on promotional material and the paintings from vampires, she seems to have been a thrall for centuries before that, possibly as early as the 1600s.

Darrel: born a spellcaster. Because he has the strong bloodline trait, he must be at minimum a 3rd generation caster.

Emilia: recently ascended according to her household description, presumably by Morgyn, since they're the only sage she knows by default and they're both friends with Grace and Tomax.

deadcanon

Elle: born a vampire during the first half of the Century Conflict. Her parents were former spellcasters who were turned during Operation Eternal Flame.

Brandy: attacked and almost killed by a member of her girlfriend Samantha's coven of origin. Samantha turned her to save her life.

L: an orphaned street urchin. Was accidentally transported to the Magic Realm after pickpocketing a spellcaster and taking his Glimmerstone. She met Keisha and immediately started badgering her for power and secrets.

Morgyn: a teen runaway. They found instructions to get into the Magic Realm in a library book, thought the whole thing sounded extremely rad, made their way to Glimmerbrook, and immediately started badgering Tess for power and secrets.

I wanted a Century Conflict veteran, which is why I made Elle so old. Brandy possibly has a mundane brother, so I didn't want her to have been born vampire. I love foundlings in stories (yes, I'm a big Mandalorian fan, fuck off) so yeah Morgyn and L are foundlings.

townie makeovers vol. 6 // the moonwood collective

[gnomewife]

I got wiring loose inside my head

I got books that I never ever read

I got secrets in my garden shed

I got a scar where all my urges bled

I got people underneath my bed

I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Swim with me into your blackest eyes...

The Moonwood, my rotational legacy save, will follow these characters, OCs and townies alike, as well as a few others. It's not challenge gameplay or anything, just a story about people learning when to let go, how to hold on tighter; found family and finding inner peace. True to my love of Sims 4's occult lore, it will be sprinkled throughout and expanded on, fueling a couple of different central conflicts per generation.

A huge thank you to all cc creators and builders!

[slumber-sims]

I have mentioned Jacob a bit in a previous post, but I wanna talk about him more because he is just that precious

so let's go all the way back, to that night, when Jacob was first found by Kristopher...

...so, based on what we find out from the sims themselves..:

...I have a theory, could the 'helpless kid' perhaps have been Jacob? Could the werewolf have been Greg? It would make the most sense:

Lou and Celene were on a date and at first all was well, they were exploring Moonwood, but stopped at the bridge when the sound of a crying child came from the distance.

Jacob had been lost in the forest for a long time and had navigated his way to Moonwood, where he was encountered by a vampire and also a werewolf. The vampire might have been trying to hurt Jacob and maybe that's why Greg bit Jacob, to protect him.

When Greg realizes what he did, and hearing people (Kristopher) getting closer, he ran off and that's when he encountered Lou and Celene.

Maybe Jacob is right and Greg was scared, and/or maybe it could be that he was still in the mindset of protecting the child, but either way Greg's nerves got ahold of him and he violently attacked Lou and Celene...

During a rare boys night in (Amir &Jacob are busy with wolf pack business and Ian is busy with his band) Amir and Ian blast Cuff It by Beyoncé. Jacob would rather let his larger than life boyfriends take the stage, but they always end up convincing him to have a little fun too. ✨
