>There seems to be a diverse idea of lycanthropy
No there isn't, it's a curse that makes men into monsters who must be put down and that's all there is to it.
Shit take detected. Werewolves are some of the most diverse monsters in their depictions. Compare to vampires who are always malevolent and always play an antagonistic role
Shut the frick up, furry.
There are three kinds lf Werewolves to ever exist in media:
1. Horror movie monsters that all function the exact same outside of superficial differences in how their main gimmick functions (the only choice that has lead to anything decent)
2. Edgelord varients to the aforementioned to take on an anti-hero angle or pity party excuse for a Mary Sue tier character to be weaponized for murdering other people
3. Freakshit furry bait for degenerates to masterbate to
Every single werewolf to ever exist falls on the spectrum on these three axis, without question.
I thought paladins weren't allowed to post here.
...The modern Werewolf is literally a form from Bram Stoker's Drakula, with previous notions of "werewolves" having "man driven to madness by demonic hallucination so thoroughly that even onlookers think he became a wolf" *and* "Holy Warriors Of God astral-projecting as animals to fight demons", just from the "main line" of the mythology.
Also a big difference in details in that *plenty* of settings have allowed for "mastering" it to not become a raving lunatic, having the shapeshifting not necessarily be tied to the moon, D&D's own Afflicted vs. Natural divide of "Cursed To Madness" versus "Born Into Weird Shit"...
I too love that video, but these are not the ms view of a werewolf.
The Wolfwalkers movie's werewolfs are pretty much that though, but it wasn't that well received.
Not him, but anon I fricking learnt about the whole "Holy warriors of God astral projecting" interpretation of werewolves well before I got familiar with the whole, "werewolves as totally mindless demonic beasts" trope. There are as many differing views as to what werewolves are as there are of vampires (and the earliest stories of both made them literally the exact same thing).
A curse for some, a blessing for others. It depends on your views on freedom, hunting and bloodletting. You should read McCammerons's The Wolfs Hour.
I mean, for starters, there's the method of transformation. I remember one incarnation involving a person literally turning their skin inside out
Also, some cases have a full wolf, others, it's more bipedal
This. Only this.
Every other opinion is closeted furshittery. Furries frick off. Your "subtle" threads will never be accepted either. Subhuman vermin.
>anon is so thoroughly buck broken by furries he's going to be against fantasy tropes older than his great grandparents
furries are fricking awful and everyone needs to be constantly reminded, lest it become public opinion to think that bestiality and fetishism of it is acceptable.
>it's a curse that makes women into monsters who must be dicked down and that's all there is to it.
fify
depends what bit you and if there's multiple types causing that creature you roll to see which kind you get
true
My favourite interpretation of lycanthropes is from World of Darkness. Where the werewolves are humans who are born werewolves and pass the gene down to their children and have their first transformation around puberty which afterwards they have control over and can slowly learn to master. Oh and they're 8 foot tall murder machines that can take on whole packs of vampires and win. Because they're unstoppable juggernauts of supernatural destruction as they should be.
The most important thing is that an individual werewolf is a threat on its own.
I believe intentionality makes the evil all the better. The tragic monster is a played out trope and prefer that the "sufferer" actively enjoys the state they are in.
The original depiction, which lends the whole thing it's name.
A divine curse beset upon the lykonians(forget the spelling) for trying to feed the gods their own children. They're doomed to eat their fellow man until they die.
I don't think it had anything to do with the moon or cycles. They were just transfigured and craved the flesh of their kin.
I don't know if this is hilariously wrong and pulled from Assassins Creed or something or if it's true and I just can't find any documentation for it.
Look up the etymology of lycanthrope.
It'll lead to a french baron/duke/noble accused of shifting into a wolf and killing people in the woods. The villagers caught the wolf that was actually killing people and dressed it up in the guy's clothes while they hanged it.
This will lead even further back to greeks or something. One of the shithole islands had a myth about the local lord offering a feast to the gods, and when they arrived, he had cut up some of the townsfolk's children to feed them instead of their best livestock as was expected.
You've already been called out by your basedness.
The depiction in An American Werewolf in London remains my favourite portrayal of a werewolf in all of media in nearly all of its aspects. From the transformation, to the design of the wolf-form, to the way the cursed person is haunted by the ghosts of their victims, it's a damn near perfect and tragic representation of lycanthropy in my eyes. I like to use it as the basis for any kind of therianthrope I use due to how it's essentially the quintessential, distilled depiction of a werewolf curse, though I'll sprinkle in some aspects of other depictions as well, like WoD's werewolves being overpowered, bloodthirsty murder machines that are nigh-unstoppable and are even feared by other monsters, because that depiction accurately captures the kind of terror one would feel when encountering such a beast.
I dunno, I really enjoy werewolf hentai. Specially the rapy kind. Not a furry, I just enjoy the fantasy of a wild monster with human lust forcing its inhuman peen into an unwilling woman.
That's called teratophilia paired with noncon, friend. Werewolves are the most common part of that concept, but not the only one.
Im just a perv. we are not the dame
this but it's a wifwolf forcing her cookie around my scaroused man meat
i do enjoy the female variety whose transformation trigger is horniness

Fairly traditionally. It ain't broke so I don't need to fix it.
There's only three flavours, really, WoD, Harry Potter, and classic.
Whats the difference between Harry Potter werewolves and classic ones? I thought they functioned identically
I completely mixed things up like a moron, I remembered sirius and forgot there's an actual werewolf that's like the classic one. I meant cases where a "werewolf" is some dude who turns into a dog and has messy hair and such.
I think with Sirius it's more the opposite, they mention the animal shapeshifters like him typically have their animal forms take traits from their human forms.
it's a pretty limited palette, but most of that shit is superficial. the more interesting layer is all about the human's control of the situation.
1) was the cursed person an innocent victim or did they get cursed as a result of doing something stupid or evil?
2) how much control, if any, does the person have over when they change?
3) how much control does the person have of what they do when they are in wolf form?
you set those three dials and that determines everything else about your narrative. no control at all at any point, you get American Werewolf In London or Ginger Snaps. you push the levers the other way, you can have a skinwalker, wendigo, or anything in between.
In my urban fantasy setting Werepeoples popularized the furry fandom to normalize animal-humans and integrate them better into society
That musky nerd you saw on the subway with a wolf beanie? Werewolf.
Some of the older wolves worry the younger Lycans are becoming a bit too “humanized” and theres a not small faction of anarcho-primitivist traditionalists that want to return to the old ways of being feared and haunting the woods surrounding civilization.
Two preferable optiona in encountering werewolf
1. Make it horny
2. It devours you
3. Both of the above
WoD, but they're all Fianna
