IC Prospective: Sam Winchester (First year)

[camebackhome]

Character: Sam Winchester
Mun: Amanda can't stop want stop
Plot specific: Nope.

If lycanthropy is a disease, why is there such a stigma against werewolves? I mean, I know they're dangerous during the full moon, but there's the wolfsbane potion, right? It makes them not as feral or something. Not to mention transmission happens under very specific circumstances, and there's no proof if it's hereditary. So why do people act like werewolves are so bad? They're still people, right? They're people more than they're wolves.

It's kind of like how people with leprosy were/are treated. There's ways to treat lycanthropy and to keep it from being quite so easily transmitted, but there's such a stigma against the people who have it.

Are there colonies, too?

It's in one of the upper year textbooks.

But maybe you haven't read anything because everyone hates werewolves.

Teenage muggle girls don't.

Are you talking about that crappy book? That's an inaccurate representation of werewolves. Vampires, too.

[givesyouaboner]

It's inescapable. But of course it's shitty.
I always figured Stoker was more spot on about vampires.

It's not hard to be more spot on than a book that insists that vampires are glittery.

[givesyouaboner]

I also doubt vampires would have nice breath, especially considering they're dead.

[camebackhome]

They could use a lot of breath mints to counteract that, though.

[givesyouaboner]

Wouldn't that just be overkill and gross?

[camebackhome]

Now that I think about it, probably.
