ANONYMOUS BEAST · 8mo

OOO !!! I haven't watched the beast must die!! Thank u sm for the rec!!

ALSO THE PLOT SOUNDS SO GOOD!!! i love the setup as a government experiment... especially the rabies experiment. i love u using people to describe characters it gives me such an immediate great image... also alfie and halker have my heart, i feel like there's such a good dynamic there. i hope they end up covered in the others blood ❤️ paltry nerd to horror werewolf... also always love a big bad just adding more to the horror by being the monster as well. i initially misread roadkill's description and thought they were like. A VETerinarian... "woah..... a smart guy like that LOSING it" + the rabies testing thing fit.
it sounds really grounded in a lot of classic 80s tropes that make it sound really fun

HEHEHE THANK YOU !!! funnily enough, I actually Do have a veterinarian character in a seperate monster story; an early 80's zombie one I have with my bf & a bud called 'from the fields', his name is raymond and he plays around with zombie DNA testing and acts as the makeshift "doctor" of the survivalist group. "with my qualifications, how hard can it be!" type of guy, with shifty & questionable intentions the more the story goes on.

but not to get sidetracked by that: i'm so happy to hear someone is enjoying wolfsbane ;v; I feel like I put in alot of work into my characters but then I also worry I don't really have a lot to prove for it when I don't exactly have the motivation to draw, so I love getting to answer asks about it !!

i'd say alfie fits more of the "smart guy losing it" trope, even if alot of his intelligence lies in technology. both him & roadkill definitely help me be able to get into the mental degradation / defects & memory + skill loss that come with my own version of lycanthropy.

and don't worry, don't worry. richie may be "top dog" now, but he's absolutely gonna get what's coming to him in the end when everyone he's fucked up & tossed aside becomes aware of eachother >:] it'll be a grizzly ending / showdown, for sure, especially when the aspect of him Also being a werewolf is revealed.
