A werewolf film written by a woman wouldn’t be as interesting because they know how unrealistic it is to be caught by surprise by something that happens regularly every damn month.
#run right into queue#no no no no no the exact opposite#by this standard a werewolf film written by a woman would be much more interesting because it would be more /varied/#some werewolves who are prepared not only for their own shift but also for those of six of their closest packmates#some werewolves who wake up already covered in fur and look at their ruined clothes and think ‘oh /shit/ that was yesterday’#some werewolves who can’t be assed to figure out what day it is and therefore have an alert set in their phone#so that once a month they wake up not to a blinking ‘wake up’ message but to ‘wake up and Be Prepared’ and dramatic hyena music#(and then inevitably lose/break/forget to charge their phone the day before and spend hours humming uncomfortably#before suddenly remembering at the least convenient moment possible and rushing off stripping as they go)#not to mention the one werewolf who only transforms one night a month and then has to refrain from gloating#while they help their one packmate who’s been shifted for an entire goddamned week and has started dreaming of murder (via @ereborne)
Fuck that, I’ve been doing periods for 35 years and they still catch me by surprise. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
Female weres who are irregular and start changing a little early or late so they never really know how much time they have. Or that one who just always carries supplies everywhere just in case they need to suddenly go away for a few days.
“Tell me what you need, sweetie. I got wolfsbane in pills or chews, I got ibuprofen, I got melatonin–”
“You got a steak?”
“Nah, but I got some snack-sized pouches of jerky to hold you over.”
“…what kind of jerky?”
“Four flavors. Take your pick.”
