oh my god oh my god I've almost finished my werewolf woman and I'm SO EXCITED

I cannot wait to show you all but I wanna do a good background first

Werewolf self redesign is done and I am SO HAPPY

but now there's the problem of a name "Graafen" doesn't fit, but also I want something that's related to the history of where I live/grew up; Yorkshire/Danelaw historical influences.

Time to make a list of names, haha

Werewolf DONE!
Name chosen: "Riveclaw" (pronounced /ˈriːva/) which comes from an old norse/Icelandic/Yorkshire word meaning "to tear/rip".

I am so incredibly happy with how this turned out. People who've known me a long time will know that werewolves are important to me, but dysphoria and gender confusion pushed that all away, but I'm glad that it's coming back with a strength I haven't felt before!

This is a side of me resurfacing. 💜 🐺

In my 20s I was a werewolf and I was so happy; some of the best years of my life!
When I got to my 30s I developed a loathing of myself and everything I liked. Turns out this was 100% dysphoria and the reason I hated everything was because it was all me being male.
But now I know I'm trans and I'm getting medication it's kinda like everything's rewinding back to then; feelings I haven't felt for decades have come flooding back!
Part of that is being a werewolf! 🐺

I'm still a Renamon 🦊 but I'm also a werewolf! 🐺
Awooooo! 💜

Last night I got home from work, decided to update my blog, and everything just poured out. Memories inaccessible for decades resurfaced.

I spent like two hours writing down my thoughts about myself, when I was a teenager, werewolves, and being trans. I've come to realise that me being a werewolf and me being trans are VERY strongly connected.

One of the werewolf memories that has resurfaced is when my Wiccan friends, having helped discover this werewolf side of me, took me out on a heath during a full moon and just looked after me as I laid in the grass, looking up at the super bright moon. 🌕🐺

I need to go do that again next full moon.
