Ronnie who is afraid to sing because she doesn't want to put Kendall to sleep, but if he needs help sleeping, she won't think twice about it.

Franken!Carlos who has come so close to electrocuting himself and Ronnie on numerous occasions just because he's so hyped about seeing water. And Vampire!James, with the help of Zombie!Logan has tried to hold Kendall back because something in him snaps at the thought of Ronnie getting hurt.

[s-insomnia]

going on a big time rush nostalgia rewatch and i find it so fascinating how they handled addressing actual issues (homesickness, psychosomatic illness, fear of rejection, emotional repression)

like multiple times a character will plainly just. state the problem a character's having (ex: when bob tells logan that logan's relationships never work because he's afraid of rejection; when the therapist in that one ep just straight up says james' tanning spray addiction is because he feels estranged because of the pressures of his career; or when logan says that james' sickness due to him losing "swagger" was psychosomatic), just to have the other character respond by saying "what lol?"

it's so... interesting. because the writers clearly realized their core audience (kids) probably wouldn't understand the point when it's put in more "adult" terms (like kids aren't going to know what the hell "psychosomatic" means, or truly understand what fear of rejection in romantic relationships is), shown by how the point would be re-addressed sometime else in episode in much simpler terms. yet they still did it?

i mean, i don't dislike it. as an almost adult, it gives me a much greater appreciation of the show that i didn't have when i watched the show when i was 8. it's just... something i've really noticed.

[thestreamweaver]

Hear me out...

Ororo and Logan are so full circle.

He's a pauper, she's a princess.

He's a wild man, a beast of nature, she's a (former) goddess, an elegant empress of nature's life giving abundance.

When they were mythical creatures, he was a werewolf, and she was a vampire.

He's an agent of pure, unadulterated justice, the kind that doesn't have any qualms about bloodshed for the greater good. She's an ambassador to all, merciful up until the very end, not daring to entertain the idea of taking life unless there is no other option.

Their contrast is perfect. His skin is white, while his hair is black, his eyes are brown, and they get dark when his beastial side is active. Her skin is black, while her hair is white, and her eyes are blue and they glow white when she uses her powers.

Her name means tender mercies, and his name means hollow valley... their daughter Kendalls name means from the bright valley...

There's much more I can say about them to...

They always find each other, they always pull each other through, they always lift each other out of their darkest times, even in death...

So in conclusion... Marvel! We got some bones to pick...

DEMO AVAILABLE NOW (6/22/23) // Patreon

Back home the summer before your junior year in college, you’re staying with your mother while you visit. Only there’s been rumors lately; animals dismembered, people going missing, bodies disappearing from the hospital morgue. Your small town has been turned on it’s head while you were gone.

The Unseelie is an interactive fiction novel that takes place in a small town on the coast of Maine.

You grew up the only child of a single mom who loved you dearly. Your three best friends, who’ve been with you since before elementary school, were a constant presence in your life.

Until Cam’s parents died your senior year of high school and Morgan followed them to the grave your freshman year of college. Losing two friends, one to grief and one to death, was a hard blow you thought you’d never recover from.

Now you just have Kiran, both loyal and dedicated and little bit of a troublemaker.

Returning home is dragging up old memories that are best left buried. Not to mention there’s apparently a psycho killer on the loose.

Should be an interesting summer, at least.

Create your character. Customize gender (full customization, including trans MCs), pronouns, and appearance.

Story based over stat based.

Romance any of the ten romance options or the eight poly routes. Or the four person polycule route!

The poly routes are Morgan & Kiran, Camilo/Camila & Kiran, Camilo/Camila & Morgan, Kiran & Auberon/Aubera, Ryn & Kendall, Rei & Kendall, Rei & Josie, and Ryn & Auberon/Aubera.

The Polycule is Kiran, Morgan, and Camilo/Camila.

Become a vampire or a werewolf. You’re an odd one despite your species, unfortunately.

Kiran Patel, he/him or she/her, a human. Your best friend. Currently a junior in college, just like you. Has stuck by your side through everything, even food poisoning after you both ate gas station sushi on a road trip.

Profile

Camilo/Camila Ramos, he/him or she/her, a human. You've grown apart since their parents died, followed shortly after by your shared best friend Morgan. They still care, though, despite the distance. At least, that’s what you tell yourself.

Profile

Ryn Cooper, he/him or she/her, a witch. They’re rather eccentric, even for a witch, and have an ego to match all their skill. They saved your life, though, and might continue to do so.

Profile

Josephine “Josie” Ellington, she/they, a vampire. Leader of your local vampire coven. Ruthlessly efficient, she cares for her people better than the old windbags she replaced.

Profile

Connor Adwell, he/him, a vampire. Josie's right hand. He doesn’t trust you, he’s made that very clear. Despite Josie’s orders, he’s determined to find out the truth behind your mystery.

Profile

Rei Suzuki, he/him or she/her, a werewolf. Alpha of the local pack. If it can even be called a pack anymore, that is. With werewolves dying left and right, Rei is desperately trying to save them.

Profile

Kendall Bennett, he/him or she/her, a werewolf. Rei's right hand. They’ve lost more more than you can imagine, but still find it in themselves to be kind, albeit reserved. For them, it’s an act of defiance.

Profile

Auberon/Aubera, he/him or she/her, the fae. A most unexpected water-dwelling fae. They are curious about you for all the wrong reasons.

Profile

Morgan Byrnes, he/him or she/her, dead. Your deceased lover or best friend, tragically taken from you too soon. You’ll never forget them…or will you?

[salt-n-salt]

im literally so deep in the trenches of art block rn and. the glimmer of light that just appeared to me is unfortunately. werewolf kendall. werewolf …… oh ..

[cogcltrcorn]

YEAH!!! YEAH!!!!! like, stewy is cruel, but the subjects of his cruelty are always separated from him somehow, be it by the fact that he never leaves the boardrooms and high-rise office buildings to meet the people affected by his actions as a private equity ghoul or by the fact that he will never meet the people that will die in the ER because there was a donor blood deficit, he won't have to face the consequences of his cruelty, and he Likes it that way.

NOW TO KEN.

ok first and foremost: YOUR TAGS...

yeah!!! yeah!!!! what is a werewolf if not the metaphor for queerness!!! slightly off topic but I actually Love how it can be interpreted and re-imagined in so many different ways to represent different queer experiences. sometimes being a werewolf is about building a community with people that are Like You and maybe dealing with a sickness that "normal people" view as a moral failing on your part, sometimes it's about letting go of societal expectations and breaking Free to be your most authentic self, and sometimes. sometimes it's about looking within yourself and seeing a horrible and vicious monster that wants to eat you alive. and maybe that monster has always been there, or maybe it's only vicious because you are keeping it caged and beating it with a stick until it squeels and weeps.

or, or, or, maybe the real monster isn't the attraction, maybe it's the loneliness, the disappointment and the anger at never getting what you want. maybe that is what turns you from a person to a beast.

anyway kendall is definitely the latter two. obviously logan finds out (he sees everything). but it's fine, really. because kendall doesn't want to face this, any of this. his father promises that he will keep him safe, that he will take care of it, that kendall will just have to stay indoors for one night a month, that's not a big deal, and the alternative (everyone finds out ever will know that's all he'll ever be) is so so so much worse.

kendall clings to the idea of normalcy so much more vigorously after the incident. he can't see stewy because stewy will smell it on him (and then stewy will Know), he can't fuck with stewy because if stewy tastes him he will Know (and also that will be not normal and kendall is trying to be normal), and stewy can't turn him, becuase then all of kendall's efforts of being Normal will be in vain! he can't just throw it all away!

god I have so many vampire stewy thoughts now ignore me If You Want but re: the initial Ken werewolf-coded post can you imagine how pissed Stewy would be if he was agonizing over "I want to turn him but I don't but I want to eat him but I don't but I..." and one day Kendall drops a "btw how would our arrangement change if I was. actually a werewolf now. nothing would change about that right. hypothetically btw"

ok but what if the werewolf attack is a replacement for the dodds incident. and what if dodds is the first guy kendall eats accidentally upon being turned. what then

[praetoravila]

for the autumn ask game:

1-3 for macie (ghosts...)

7-10 for olive

15-18 for elisa

<3333!!!!!!!!

MACIE:

Do they believe in ghosts? Have they ever experienced anything unexplained?

yes. her family is puerto rican catholic and they are incredibly superstitious. she's seen stuff around her abuela's house that makes her believe that ghosts exist. like shadows in places where shadows shouldn't be.

Do they have any unusual collections or items in their home?

she collects rocks! she gets rocks from every state and country that she's ever been to.

What’s their favorite dessert or candy?

florecitas! they are these cookies that are iced.

OLIVE:

Do they like corn mazes, hay rides, or apple picking, or any other autumn activities?

yes! she doesn't really get corn mazes, since she's a southwestern girl at heart, but but everything else she totally vibes with.

What’s their favorite way to keep warm (coats, a fireplace, a hug, etc.)?

coats!!! she lives in her sage green bomber jacket, as well as her fancy the north face jacket that logan got her for her first christmas trip to minnesota back in 2015. she LIVES in those jackets. she also enjoys a good cuddle by the fireplace with logan as well.

Have they ever played a spooky game, like Bloody Mary or used a Ouija board?

yes. her and wren played bloody mary when she was younger all the time. it never worked tho.

If they had to become a supernatural creature (a werewolf, a vampire, etc.), what would they pick?

definitely a werewolf. if we go based on the bthalloween episode, she's trying to help kendall keep the secret from jo.

ELISA:

Have they ever dressed up for Halloween? What’s their favorite costume?

nope. brazil is a catholic country, and her avó (grandma) would rather drop dead than do anything associated with monsters lol. once she's in america tho, her halloween costumes are pretty great. her fave one that she's done so far with james is the joker and harley quin.

What makes them nostalgic?

the smell of corn, and when the air gets a slight chill!

What do they think about pranks?

oh she's a pranking queen i fear. give elisa the chance and she's putting whoopee cushions everywhere, covering the palm woods in silly string.

Would they ever visit an allegedly haunted building?

GOD NO. she's a, too catholic in nature for that, and b, too much of a wimp LMAOOOO

Kendall Knight (Werewolf or Lycan?)

Modern media has blurred the lines between werewolfism and lycanthropy. Their traits and abilities are used more interchangeably now, thus making them less distinguishable. This phenomenon has led me to ask: Is Kendall Knight a werewolf or a lycanthrope? Let's start by defining both terms!

werewolf (n.)

wair-woolf

(in fiction) a person who changes for periods of time into a wolf, typically when there is a full moon.

lycanthrope (n.)

lahy-kuhn-throhp

(in mythology) a person affected with lycanthropy.

a werewolf or alien spirit in the physical form of a bloodthirsty wolf.

Do these definitions seem indistinguishable? Unfortunately so. Though, many tend to forget that the one stark contrast between both beasts are myth and fiction. I believe werewolves and lycanthropes (lycans for short) are more different than some may understand. Werewolves and lycans do not all possess the same physical traits or supernatural abilities. Let's dissect their characteristics and powers to distinguish them from one another.

Physical Traits

There are three physical forms both werewolves and lycans alike inhabit—human form, wolf form, and hybrid form. The human form, similar among both species, is how these creatures normally appear seeing as most werewolves and lycans are turned rather than born. They look just as any other human would. The wolf form, also similar among both species, is their body taking the shape of the average wolf. They're quadrupedal and lose the ability to speak. Their hybrid forms are what set the two apart. Hybrid forms are an anthropomorphic state of wolves. Their skin is covered in nearly impenetrable fur, their ears elongate, and they grow a tail, fangs, and claws while keeping their opposable appendages. Depending on the creature and given folklore, they may also grow a muzzle and have the choice of standing on their hind legs or running on all fours. However, lycan hybrid forms tend to be stronger and more muscular. Additionally, lycan hybrid forms aren't weak to silver as opposed to werewolves.

Supernatural Abilities

The most common and noteworthy ability of werewolves and lycans is their ability to transform. A werewolf's transformation is mostly dependent on the full moon. Whether or not they transform as they please, all werewolves still transform under a full moon and are unable to revert to their human forms until sunrise. Additionally, werewolves benefit from heightened senses such as super-strength, super-speed, stronger smell, heightened hearing, immense agility, etc. typically in their wolf and/or hybrid forms. Werewolves also have longer lifespans but are not immortal. They'd likely live only a few hundred years. Finally, when fully transformed, werewolves become feral. They are overcome with animalistic rage and bloodthirst. They do not recall the events of their transformation and have little to no control over what they do, almost as if they're being possessed, and their true selves lie dormant. Their bite can infect others, thus turning them. However, it is unclear whether their bite results in an infection or a curse.

Lycans can transform at will. Their transformations do not rely on the moon cycle or any other uncontrollable circumstances. Not only do they have full control of their transformations, but they additionally have full control over their actions when having transformed. They are stronger, more coherent, more intelligent, and more invulnerable. Their wounds heal quicker than those of werewolves due to regeneration, and their abilities are less bestial despite their appearances being more beastly in comparison. Lycans benefit from their supernatural abilities regardless of what form they take, but the strength of each ability is dependent on their current form. Some are stronger, and some are weaker. Although lycans aren't weak to silver, in very rare cases, they are known to be resistant to magic. As such, lycans cannot curse or infect anyone. They are created through means of magic rituals. Additionally, lycans' lifespans are similar to those of werewolves.

Weaknesses

Silver is the most common werewolf weakness. A silver bullet can pierce their invulnerable fur and negate their regeneration if shot through a werewolf's head or chest. Another common werewolf weakness is Wolfsbane. It is used to repel and, in some cases, cure werewolves. However, both weaknesses can vary depending on the context of their stories. A weakness that doesn't typically change depending on context is their lack of self-control. It doesn't harm or kill werewolves necessarily, but their berserk, monstrous behavior is a weakness nonetheless.

Lycans' weaknesses are similar to those of werewolves apart from silver. Their bodies will regenerate despite coming in contact with it. But lycans are vulnerable to holy symbols. Due to their connection to witchcraft and otherworldly magic, they fall victim to items like crosses, holy water, rosaries, etc.

Which One Is Kendall?

Though Big Time Rush portrays Kendall as a werewolf in Big Time Halloween, I feel his monster identity goes deeper than that. He embodies traits of both werewolves and lycans. His transformation is dependent on the moon cycle, but his hybrid form build is rather muscular. Kendall embodies dog-like behaviors but has control over his actions and speech other than howling, growling, and other behaviors humans wouldn't exhibit. It is unclear what his weaknesses are since he was never attacked in this episode nor did he ever take a wolf form. Kendall embodies only two forms—human and hybrid. I am aware some behaviors and characteristics were either exaggerated or ignored because Big Time Rush is a children's show thus childlike humor is a huge priority that misconstrues a lot of information for the sake of its target audience. I theorize his monster identity is dependent on his family. If his father was turned into a werewolf, I could believe Kendall was born a werewolf. If not, I am to believe Jennifer used her magic to turn Kendall into a lycan. I am unsure what species Kendall truly is, but I can always keep theorizing. There is still a lot of information Big Time Rush has left out. Which do you think Kendall is and why? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for listening to my very random and overly analytical spiel. Happy spooky season, chat!

Rosen: "Mariam, are you doing OK?"

Mariam: "It was the first day of school and I made fool of myself!"

Mariam: "Why do teen hormones have to make being a werewolf so much harder...."

Rosen: "It's not that bad, everything will be fine."

Mariam: "...."

Rosen: "Why don't you come to the Hijinx Festival! Wren and Beejay are going too."

Mariam: "Are you sure? What if I freak out again?"

Rosen: "You'll be fine! It'll be fun and you can forget about today."

Kendall: "I can't believe they would let dangerous occults in a school! Don't they think of their children?!"

Random Dude: "Bro, that's rude. She's right over there."

ash's july 2024 reading round up

find all the books and fics i read this month under the cut with a link to the synopsis and my reviews/ratings attached :)

this is just for fun! i'm not a professional, i just like to read <3

booklist:

Bride by Ali Hazelwood (18+!)

• aside from the fact that the main character's name is misery, i well and truly enjoyed this book!! i'm such a sucker for any type of vampire-related story, and i absolutely loved what ali hazelwood did in terms of worldbuilding! the implications of human-werewolf-vampyre politics were so interesting, yet easy to understand, and unlike that of any other story i've read. it tied in well to the reasons for vampyre misery's marriage of convenience to the alpha were lowe and had major implications for the overall plot of the story as well. i loved the mystery element and the romance felt so natural and unforced. in reading almost all of hazelwood's other books, i did have a small idea of the formula her stories usually follow, so i was able to clue into some of the twists a bit early, but even then, the mystery just kept unraveling and unraveling and it still kept me hooked until the very end! even with my correct guesses, there was even more i didn't clue into until the very end and i looooved it so much! so unexpected! misery and serena were such a cute and accurate description of best friends. each word of the use "bleech" (bitch + leech - vampyre name calling) was just so funny to me for whatever reason. misery's character development over the course of the story was fascinating, watching her come from a cold and uncaring vampyre society into the interconnected pack mentality of the were's was incredible. all of her actions with lowe's little sister anna melted my heart and exemplified the changes misery was going through to be the person she wanted to be! and of course, her and lowe were so electric and steamy, despite coming from two different worlds and their dedication to each other and their goals was staggering. such a wonderful read, could not recommend enough! i was super worried the supernatural and otherworldly elements would fall flat because hazelwood has thus far written contemporary romance, but i really can't emphasize enough the intricacies and care she put into this one; it really shines through :)

• rating: 5/5 jars of peanut butter

8. A Field of Blooming Tulips by @bunnyfern

admittedly i was a bit worried the first time i read this story, but after the rework i'm enjoying the story you're developing so much! all the bits and pieces you throw in about crowe have me dying to know more about her and her past, her likes and her dislikes, and seeing her grow and change to fit into her new environment is very well done! she and james 👀 though quite different already have a little spark of chemistry and i'm excited to see where the story takes them!!!

Cherry and Kendall in the Werewolf AU

Kendall never got along w/ Payton, Cherry's brother. They can't even stand having to look at each other, much less interact.

One day, Payton found Cherry and Kendall together during some very intimate moments and Payton became enraged. He didn't fully understand why, but something about Kendall being his brother's lover made his blood boil, and after Kendall started to fight him about it... Payton escalated it to a physical fight. He beat Kendall PRETTY BADLY, as Kendall was really no match for Payton in his human form, and he didn't wanna risk turning in front of him.

The only way that Payton stopped before he did some really bad, permanent damage to Kendall was when Cherry ran in to shield Kendall. Seeing the fear in Cherry's eyes (and the fact Cherry fought Payton away when never EVER in his life had Cherry EVER done anything against Payton) is the only thing that made Payton snap out of it.

He apologized deeply to Cherry, realizing he had only contributed to the pain their father always put Cherry through, and swore to never do anything against Cherry ever again. He never wished to hurt his brother, not even emotionally or psychologically. He never meant to.

He later apologizes to Kendall as well, and they manage to form a kind of truce.

Also Kendall took the beating like a CHAMP. He's a lycan, and he knows he wouldn't be hurt too badly in the fight, and his body will recover incredibly fast from such a beating... So he's not even worried. He tried pulling a "Well, I did my share of fighting back too!" even tho Cherry knows it's bullshit LMAO... He did very minimal damage back to Payton......... lmao...................

[lizzardwitch]

rant incoming but thinking about how kendall and fran had so much potential to be explored in the seasons they were in (dino charge & jungle fury) only to be neglected by the writers and pushed into support roles legitimately makes me wanna crash out

the entirety of the energem finding operation in dino charge would not exist without kendall. she ran the museum, she gave half the team jobs, she created constant technology and upgrades in order to find more energems and aid the rangers in battle, and when she finally gains the chance to be a ranger, what does she get rewarded with? FURTHER shoving out of the spotlight and into a support role DESPITE being a ranger, and on top of that, NEVER gets an arc of her own!! wow!! no exploration of just how fucking tired she might be from having to deal with essentially the weight of the world (if not the UNIVERSE) on her shoulders on top of having to get a bunch of teenagers that work for her under control!! no exploration of how she even managed to form a bond with keeper and agree to find the energems in the first place!! how fucking amazing is that /s (even the villain that shows up halfway through the goddamn season gets more development than she does what the fuck, i love heckyl but come the FUCK on)

fran actually had SOME potential in the beginning of jf, because she was actually allowed to voice her frustrations (hell homegirl even quit at one point because of just how terribly the rangers were treating her, even if she got rehired in the same episode it's still something), and actually had an assertive, witty, spunky side to her that felt refreshing when paired with her otherwise sweet, shy, socially inept character. on top of this, she's allowed multiple badass moments despite not being a ranger (confronting a corrupted lily, staring down werewolf!rj, finding out who the rangers were on her own, etc.). and then.........it all comes crashing down from episode 19 onwards, and what does fran become?? the girl who likes dominic. yep!! love it when a super cool intelligent girl with so much potential to be explored OUTSIDE of supporting the men in her life (or exploring how being pushed into that role has an effect on her psyche) becomes reduced to nothing more than having a crush on a guy who's Wonder white bread personified!! fucking awesome!! fran doesn't get an episode or chunk of one exploring anything in depth about her but we get an entire episode about her tweaking over a guy or moments where she helps theo & lily get together, how fucking brilliant

and don't give me some bullshit about how kendall and fran aren't meant to have as much emphasis as the other characters because claire blackwelder and sarah thomson got credited as main characters from day fucking one. if they were able to get main character credits they should've been handled with just as much emphasis as the others in their respective casts, ESPECIALLY due to how integral they were to keeping their teams afloat. fran doesn't even get a goddamn last name despite having been there since ep 1 ffs i made a whole tag about that

I'm not even asking for much, I just want my girls to have an arc and development + episodes to themselves PLEASE
