Creative Acrostic Poem

We can’t control the urge to turn, soon the moon will shine full
Every bit closer to a full transition, memories become dull
Remembering the rights and wrong go out the door
Even a stake and flame no longer bring fear, poor judgement is near
We will do what needs to be done, and blame the magic skin
One may think they can run and hide but think of your next of kin
Leaving no flesh behind is what’s in mind, not a trace of what we are
Vanishing into the night, to begin again the next cycle
Eventually our kind will rule mankind
Step aside, for the end is near








(I have set this timeline in the time of the 1500's)

Werewolf Sightings Map

Interactive Werewolf Sightings Map Below is a map of thousands of reported werewolf sightings.  Some sightings are over 200 years old some are as recent as 2020.  These sightings have spanned all across the globe but the majority are in the U.K and the New England/Mid West region of the United States.  Most of the sightings include a detailed description of the event (some get pretty wild).   (The sightings are organized by the date they occurred and whether the encounter/incident was aggressive) https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1nc9hgyPB619Utw0F4o1-iKyhB17nWW-Y&ll=10.623258581451129%2C-17.248931484129564&z=2

The Werewolf and its Inherently Queer Experience (CAPSTONE)

Image
  The idea of the werewolf is inherently queer, it’s inherently related to many different LGBTQ+ identities. The normal, socially acceptable human form of the werewolf? The closeted, everyday persona of a queer individual. The monstrous desires, portrayed as nothing but wrong and harmful? A view of view of queer love that has only recently begun to stop being the norm and only in certain parts of the world at that. There are still plenty of places where being outed as gay will get you killed as quickly as a werewolf found standing above a dead body.   And finally, the hiding of who, of what someone truly is, often out of fear of hatred or harm coming to them if they were revealed? So many queer people have periods of their lives where they have to hide their true selves for the exact same reasons. Media and media analysis regarding werewolves shows this and I want to focus and expand on the three previously mentioned aspects of queerness and lycanthropy that the two states of being sha
