I Am A Real Werewolf

Does it not bother anyone else to see wrong information just slung all over the place on here? I see so much false crap with hardly any corrections to set the record straight. I might not be the best person to learn things from but I'm certainly not spouting garbage left and right.

I guess I'll start with all this "my inner wolf" junk. Your "wolf" does not talk to you, nor does it have any "powers" or "abilities". It also does not have another name, gender, or look aside from your own. If you're a werewolf, the wolf part of you is not a separate being. You are only one person, regardless of form and have full control when you shift, unless you happen to have some type of multiple personality disorder. In which case, you still probably aren't a werewolf, but rather suffer from clinical lycanthropy (I would recommend seeing a professional if you haven't already).

Now, when I say name, gender, and look, I'm referring to multiple contributing factors. Name, for instance. If your name is Austin, you don't suddenly become "Wolfmist" or some ridiculous name like that when you shift. If you name "your wolf" like a pet, you are not a werewolf. Its not a separate voice in your head talking to you. Then there's gender. If you are a girl, and your "wolf side" is male, you are not a werewolf. What you identify as is your business and yours alone, but if you identify as one gender as a human and another gender as a wolf, you are either role playing or in need of serious help. As for looks. You are not some mutant wolf with purple eyes and blue fur the size of a horse. You are exactly as you are now, just in another form.

Its like taking water and freezing it into ice, it is still H2O. If you have brown hair, then you will also have brown fur. If you have brown eyes as a human, then you will have brown eyes as a wolf. For example, I have naturally dark red hair, resembling burgundy, but I dye it black with artificial coloring. This is the only way you can even partly achieve unnaturally colored hair/fur. But even with the hair dye, when shifting occurs you have a mass growth of fur from the hair follicles along your entire body. New hair is not colored by the dye, making a majority of it your natural color and only spots of it the color you dyed it.

Another thing that annoys me to see immensely, this is not Twilight. You will not turn into a wolf the size of a horse. You will turn into a wolf equal to your size as a human.

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that all mass must remain constant over time, as system mass cannot change quantity unless it is added or removed. The law also states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. In other words, you cannot create something from nothing, nor can you destroy something to nothing.

The average weight for an adult male wolf is about 100 to 110 pounds while females average about 90 pounds. If you are a 150 pound grown adult, you will not turn into a 200 pound wolf, Its just not possible. Your wolf form will be equal and proportionate to your human form, even if it is larger than the average adult wolf.

I'm a rather small guy, I weigh roughly 130 pounds as a human, not particularly large. As a wolf, I also weigh roughly 130 pounds, which is larger than the average wolf.

There have been reports of wild wolves larger than the average wolf as well, not just werewolves. In 1939, Frank Glaser, a wolf professional, caught a 175 pound male wolf during the Summer. Craig Gardener, a wildlife biologist, captured a 140 pound male wolf in 1997. John Burch of the National Park Service caught a 148 pound male wolf and a 110 pound female wolf at the same time.

Even with some grown men weighing 200 pounds, they do not weigh nearly enough to be the size of a stallion. The average light horse can weigh between 840 to 1,210 pounds while larger riding horses will range between 1,100 to 1,300 pounds.

In short, this is not magic, this is science. You will not pass the physical limitations, it is not possible.

Yet another irritating problem is that shifting is NOT fun. All this talk about "can't wait to shift" and "shifting is fun, I like it" is about as accurate as shifting every full moon; it's complete bullshit.

Shifting is something that takes an enormous amount of energy and a tremendous amount of pain to accomplish. The pain is so intense, it would be like getting hit by a car and run over several times, then getting beaten with a ba<x>seball bat, and then having a house land on your mangled body, just further crushing your bones and moving your organs around. And in no way is that an over exaggeration. If anything, that still doesn't quite cover it. And one of the worst parts is that your mind does not lose consciousness. As much as you would like to black out, as much as you would like to not feel, what really may only be seconds feels like hours of agonizing pain. Its not impossible to black out, I've heard of a few rare cases, but it's about as likely as shifting too young, which can kill you.

Then, even if you do succeed in the entire shift, the amount of energy it costs you is so severe, it can render you unable to move. Not only do you require a massive amount of energy to shift, but you require the same amount to shift back. If you lack that amount of energy to shift back, then you won't be able to. You will be stuck in that form until you are able to build up the energy needed to shift back.

Although I do agree in some aspects, I would like to clear up some things you may have not known.

There are breeds of werewolves where the changes vary, so your definitions are a bit... not lacking, but what may be right for you aren't necessarily what other wolves are going through, although they may be very similar.

First, you can have a wolf that is a separate part of you. It doesn't make that person a werewolf, but if the person can shift, and has a separate "soul" as they describe, they are still a wolf. It doesn't necessarily make them crazy. It makes them a "shape shifter."
A shape shifter is a bit different than a werewolf.
The person is more spiritual, and the "soul" they believe they have in their head is a spiritual guide, more or less. They don't give them the ability to shift, but more so give them the information, enlightenment, and what not, to complete the shifts their body is capable of.

Second, the naming thing is actually normal. You want to call yourself, or name yourself, something different then the name given to you at birth. A lot of wolves have a tendency to want to disassociate from their own human lives, because the human is just a form, and sometimes doesn't feel at all apart of you. Some wolves feel the wolf as being their natural, true state, and the human side only an inconvenience. So, its only natural for them to feel the need to pull away and lead a separate life behind these names.
I don't agree with the whole "Fluffywolf Darkscar" thing, but, its kind of whatever goes thing for them, or whatever they feel comfortable with.

Third, the mass theory is bullshit. It makes a lot of sense, yes, and don't ask me to tell you exactly how it works because I am no scientist, and I don't know for sure. (Even if any of this could be determined strictly on a scientific basis, because I don't think it can.)
However, you can be a much bigger wolf than regular wolves. It depends on the breed or type of wolf. I'm not some giant Twilight mf, but I am still a bit larger than most wolves, as most are.
We don't get as big as those exaggerated fools, but we still get fairly large.

Fourth, the fur is not the same as your hair color. I mean, it can be, but I've never seen a blonde werewolf, or a full red headed werewolf running around the forest. I have a mixture of three hair colors, blonde, brown, and auburn, and my fur color used to be completely black.
Your fur color factors in with breed, and your own "customization" so to speak. It's different with every wolf, even of the same breed and type. Not all wolves are the same in the slightest. And your hair color can change! We go through the same shedding, and growth of new fur like any other wolf does.
If you notice, a wolf's fur color and length can be a lot different in the spring/summer than it is in the fall/winter.

I am aware that there are different types of wolves, as am I of the varying changes. I suppose I should have specified that this didn't apply to every breed there is. I'm honestly not even aware of every breed there is, that's like trying to learn every race of human in the world. And I understand what you're saying about the shape shifters, but I wasn't talking about shape shifters to begin with. I was referring only to werewolves, I personally don't know enough about shape shifters to say anything about them that would be fact and I refuse to give someone information on something I don't know much about seeing as it would more than likely be wrong. I'd also rather not get into the whole "soul" debate because that's just not a debate I'd like to spend my Friday arguing about. Not saying the whole soul thing is accurate or inaccurate but I'd personally just rather not get into that one. I understand wanting to have another name, I myself do not go by the name I was given at birth. But that is not how I meant it. It's different to have a nickname, or to even change your name permanently. But to call yourself a name based on the belief that you're naming a whole other part of your being, that is not realistic. I can understand the part about feeling as if you're inconvenienced with your human form, but you are still you in both forms, even if you do not prefer the human one. I did not say you were going to be the size of a normal wolf, but rather said you will be proportionate to your own body. If a grown, large, tall, fit, 200 pound Man turned into a wolf, he would be a wolf much, much larger than the average regular wolf. But he would still be 200 pounds. He would not be a normally sized wolf, nor would he be one of those Twilight Hollywood horse wolves, but he would be a wolf of equal mass to his human form. And I also have never seen a blonde wolf, nor have I seen a fully red headed wolf, but I've seen black, several shades of brown, and ones with multiple colors in there hair that naturally occur, such as brown and auburn. But all of these that I've seen were also their natural color as a human. I have yet to encounter a wolf whose fur is not the color of their hair. and I'm also aware that your hair color can change, one of my brothers was born with bleach blonde hair and now has a very dark brown in its place. I also know that wolves fur changes, just as ours does but that's not the point I was making.

Alright. So, we're pretty much on the same exact page then. Good. xD

And you're right. I now know you meant, only werewolves in general pertaining to your post. But you have to understand, some don't know about the different kinds, and just automatically assume they are a werewolf. But you are right. If they think they are a werewolf, and yet experience this, they are either crazy, or don't know exactly what they are.

I know that not everyone is aware that there are different breeds. But a lot of the younger members on this site that learn there are try and make up rules for themselves as they go. That's why I didn't go out of my way to mention it. This is also why I constantly see 13-15 year old "Alphas" running around telling 12 year olds that they will turn them because their "breed" has that ability. It doesn't help much either when there are a few 18-21 year olds on this site that try and go along with the 13 year olds. I have half a mind to assume its really someone young pretending to be someone older, which is probably the case.
ItWasAGhostBro
You share a very valid point, my friend.
I completely agree, which is kind of why I don't like coming on here. I have helped people and had it gone sour in my favor and its never fun. I hate dealing with children. In general. If they genuinely had these problems, they will eventually come across the right people, as I did. It's not like its now or never. They will learn eventually.
DyanWerewolf · 26-30, M
It's so wonderful when I find people on here like you haha I swear, it's like stumbling across money in the laundry. There are hardly anymore genuine people on here, it's so nice when I find one every now and again. I'm so glad you agree ^^
ItWasAGhostBro
Same here. I've met only a handful of genuine people on here, as well as a few in other places, who know what they are talking about, and you are definitely one of the ones that do.
I like when you can agree on something and relate to the person, and that's sort of like an inner confirmation of sorts once you finally find someone like you. Makes you feel as if you're doing something right as opposed to sifting through endless fakes or children who just piss you off.
DyanWerewolf · 26-30, M
Yeah, it's not often I find people who know what they're talking about, I agree wholeheartedly and it was fantastic to be able to talk to someone else on here that is knowledgeable and has common sense. You're more than welcome to message me anytime you'd like, I wouldn't mind a good conversation every now and again. Those seem to be scarce around here too sometimes.
ItWasAGhostBro
That I know all too well. I definitely will.
