Werewolf DONE!
Name chosen: "Riveclaw" (pronounced /ΛriΛva/) 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.
I'm still a Renamon but I'm also a werewolf!
Awooooo!
HRT is fucking magical; I get why people draw it like a potion!
I ran out over Xmas and had been taking half dose until a new order arrived (including a week of no HRT at all), and mere days after getting back on it I'm feeling happy and reconnecting to parts of me that I'd forgotten were there inside me all along!!
Finsihed writing up about me being a werewolf. I think I've covered everything!
A lot of this is resurfacing memories from 20 years ago, so it might ramble a bit. This is mainly a record for myself, so I've always got a way to recall the main points of it all.
I hope you enjoy it, if you do read. :)

Just a couple of points:
1) For clarification (because I wasn't as clear as I could have been ^^;) "Riva" is pronounced like "River"
2) Please do call me Riverclaw!
(I'm not changing any usernames for continuity/discoverability, but I'd really prefer it if you do call me Riverclaw over Renby. Renby is a character I play and get art of, and Rivaclaw is who I am. )
@renbymon *offers warm hugs*
@dh Woof! *hugs back!*
@renbymon you're so lucky to have had someone like that in your life :)
@garrwolfdog I have to stress that this was in my teenage years and I've unfortunately lost contact with all of those people due to moving and stuff, but I'm glad to have been friends with them at the time. ^^

@renbymon question: how do you pronounce that name?
@dragonarchitect Sorry for the triple post I just wanna get this right, haha.
Like river but replace the "er" sound with an "ah" sound. :3
@renbymon Ahhh okay. Figured it was probably going to be either that or "Rive" as in riving knife~

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.
