Re: Oh, for the Love of Monsters!
I also doubt the theft was intentional.. Most likely someone decided to do a monster version of Romeo and Juliet, and so sought to rob the Bard of his fair credit. White Wolf's suit claims many similarieties that I personally think they have no business mentioning (as if they invented the vampire vs werewolf concept), but I'm not here to point fingers; if Underworld was done well, I'd praise it regardless of concept originality.Figarou wrote:Scott Gardener wrote:Ah, so you've read the White Wolf novel Love of Monsters, from which they stole the plot?
Hmmm....I don't think they stole the plot from that novel. When it comes to werewolf stories, its real easy for 2 different people to come up with the same ideas.

No not all people are nurds. And I talk about nerds cuz I talk about nerds,if I talk about nerds....nerds are nerds therefore nerds are nerds. So my point is,I ain't talking about smart people,i'm talking about the kid that lays down on the floor at school saying, "I feel dizzy...i need a wheel chair."
THE END

I still don't under stand where ye are getting the nerd thing. A nerd is much different; while I consider myself to be a geek, not a nerd, I do believe that a nerd is significantly more respectable than what ye are indicating. Just a bit more obsessive than is healthy
Ok, I'm obsessive too. I'm here dreaming about werewolves with the rest of you, aren't I?

True, White Wolf was going out on a limb to draw that many similarities. But, you've got to admit, "abomination" as a catch-phrase insult was an awfully big coinky-dink.
But, OK. White Wolf should have thanked them for doing it. Their own adaptation of their story, Kindred: the Embraced, flowed less like how most Vampire players pictured it and more like some slow-prodding, low budget Arron Spelling drama. Come to think of it, it WAS Arron Spelling. (His claim to fame was Charlie's Angels.)

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

I guess for me, it would really depend on who was talking to me that way. I'd mentioned in another thread, for example (can't remember if it was "Werewolves and Pets" or "Showing the werewolf's softer side"), that friends often make fun of each other in good humor, therefore if the person "talking dog" to him was a human associate or a werewolf in human form, the werewolf's first impulse would be just to poke fun of him in reply.Black Shuck wrote:I'd be real pissed if someone treated me like a dog like "Come here! Come here! *whistles* Good dog!" and then the fetch thing. Grr!
And it also depends on how their making fun of them. For example, the difference between being scratched behind the ears and being told to "fetch me a beer boy." Both would warrant a cold glare at first, but for the former, he could just go along with it and make an overly-exaggerated display of grinning ear to ear, sticking his tongue out and stomping his foot on the floor repeatedly. For the latter, he probably wouldn't fetch the beer, but he might respond to being talked to like a dog by lifting his leg at the human that told him to fetch (not necessarilly to scent-mark him -- the gesture is clear enough).
But if the person talking dog to me was someone that had previously caused some problems for myself or other members of the pack... Well, then I'd probably swing him around by his legs a few times.

If they were doing it to try and mock me and kept on it, it'd really start to get to me ("why should I take this off them" kinda thing). My friends and I poke fun at each other all the time, but someone not in my group said something about me, I'd bristle at it and if they kept it up then they'd have another thing comin'. I guess it depends on the personality of a werewolf.

Heh. I'm not sure if the werewolf's natural reaction would be to be offended or to burst out laughing.PariahPoet wrote:"Gee that's a lousy fursuit!"
I hope you'll forgive me referencing all my previous posts so much, but in theWhat would you do with it? thread, I said I'd make a movie and star as the werewolf... Then I edited in that I'd be really depressed if people told me "your werewolf design looks stupid" and such. Sure, I'd be really depressed if that really happened, but I can laugh at the idea of it.
So I'm think that'd most likely be an inside joke, one that would only result in some eye-rolling or a Charlie-horse at best. Well... Unless the teller went too far or milked the hell out of it. While I was typing this, for example, I thought of the example of a human or werewolf in human form prying a werewolf's jaws open or sticking his head in the werewolf's mouth to "see who's wearing the costume," and, well... Personally, I'd just force out a really good belch if someone did that to me, but I imagine some other werekin's reactions would be less, er, good-natured.
