What Studying Literature Feels Like

Life Story

I love this kind of werewolf anatomy.

Today in the shower, I was thinkin about werewolf anatomy and the pain/body horror that kinda transformation would actually entail 🤔 specifically the way a humanoid skull would have to stretch into a canine shape!! So I did a little study about it c:

Something I love doing is building the natural lore of my universes too. I love the idea of magic influencing evolution in some way. In a universe with natural magic, it makes sense it would, because of the inherent sway it must have on the environment. Evolution can be roughly described as “environmental pressures driving natural change over millions of years.” The rat that accidentally runs through some magical energy spewing out a ley line, and thus accidentally turns invisible, is going to survive longer than its fellow rats that cant turn invisible. Millions of years later, you have what is essentially a rat that turns invisible briefly when startled lol.

A predator may evolve true sight to counter that. Eventually over millions of years, you could see how a dragon possibly evolved true sight. With speculative magical evolution, the options are kind of endless, but this is how I headcanon you get inherently magical beasts like griffins, dragons, or unicorns.

What with bucket hats, bare midriffs, and flared jeans having been resurrected by some irresponsible necromancer with frosted tips, I figure there’s no better time to resurrect some of my favorite Y2K fonts. I typically only see the same three or four pop up in discussions on the subject, so maybe this will be helpful to nostalgic designers. Click though for links.
