Wolf-pack meme

[altivo]

From chibiabos:

No, I'm no wolf. But I still had to post this because of the graphic. Sorta fits, I guess, since I have been a herd leader if not a pack leader.



You are the brave leader of your pack. You are
strong, fierce, and proud. You are fair to your
pack and are very protective of them. You trust
them with your life. Be careful, there are always
some wolves who will wish to strike you down
when you are weak and steal your position as
Alpha.


What position are u in your wolf pack?

I took it several times to see the pics. *g* The "Kill the babysitter!!!" line particularly resonates from my own writings: I have a species of crazy furred creatures whose puppies are absolutely adorably insane.

You do realize this makes it your duty to mate with the alphess and sire pups. ;p

Nice meme. I like the pics with the Wolf's Rain characters in them and the white pup. Makes me think of Frea when she was young. ;)

'Tivo did sire three foals you know. And because there was Fyrathe, a wolf who was an official herd member, we kept having jokes about wolf-horse hybrids.

I can see that. And you get cool points for
even knowing what a Vaughn Williams is. ^_^

Heh... I got pack leader too, which surprised me a bit. I suspect I was right on the cusp of trickster (or whatever they call it; I haven't yet retaken it), at least based on the responses I gave.

"Attack the babysitter", indeed :) That was a great part of Cable Guy, which was a remarkably disturbing movie, and not one to see "by surprise" when you're expecting lighthearted comedy as per Jim Carrey's more usual roles.

Maybe I'll go see what the other meme results are. That's us Coyotes, stickin' our nose in peoples' business ;) Besides, shiny pictures!

Here's me, replying to my own comment :P

I looked through other responses and think that Beta is probably the closest to my personality (at least as they described it). I can lead, but it's not my first inclincation except when I'm really needed. Besides, the more tricksterish responses yielded Omega, which is decidedly inaccurate for me :)

Whee, more sharing!

Quick! Find a good artist who can make visuals for that! :)

I think it could be quite a lovely cross.

It has interesting possibilities, but I admit I'm not sure what parts would come from whom. ;P

Of course, there's a classical model in the hippogriff, which was fairly executed (or not, no pun intended) by the effects guys on the third Harry Potter movie. Horse's body and hooves, wolf's head and tail? I dunno.

While I'm inordinately fond of canids, and I adore your ears in that icon, the horse's head is such a thing of beauty to me that I'd hate to trade it off. Perhaps the hybrids would be more like Gryphons, with front and back halves. Some would have a horse's front and a wolf's rear, while others would be the opposite? This implies that the horse-headed types would be vegetarians, while the wolf-headed would be omnivore or carnivore, no?

*resists the urge to fondle your ears*

This will get more complicated still if we consider anthrowolf and anthrohorse as the parents. Chimerae. I think I spelled it right. :)

In any case, Fyrathe's ambition was to sprout wings herself, rather than to have hybrid pups.

Having been Omega, both IRL and virtually, I can say it's not as terrible as it looks. But no one should be pushed into it unwilling, in that I agree.

Well, knowing what his music is anyway. I knew the music for years before learning that his name "Ralph" really was pronounced "Rafe".

[songcoyote.livejournal.com]

Heh... I'm not an Omega, but I play one in bed on TV! It's not a bad thing, and I never meant to imply it. It's just not my usual approach.

When it comes down to it, I like both ends of the leash ;)

Which might not have been what you were talking about at all, but it's what I thought of. That must say something about me, but exactly what is an exercise I'll leave to the reader (which it always is anyway).

Whee! Silliness!

So now we've got flying wolf-horses? Whee!

I was actually thinking of a truly hybridized visual, which would be tricky to pull off but might be done well. The sleek nobility of a horse's face combined with the binocular vision and toothy smile of a wolf... Yes, tricky, but a fascinating idea. Perhaps a shapeshifter caught between the two forms.... Or something ;)

Oh, and why resist? *Waggles ears in your general direction.*

Why resist? Because I didn't want to risk rejection or worse. Now that you've invited me, though... *gentle touching and fondling ensues* Mmm, as nice and soft as they look. :)

Toothy grins on horses... That reminds me of the cover illustration on a cheap pulp science fiction book I had back in the 60s. The story itself was blah, but the warhorses ridden by some of the characters were in fact carnivorous and venomous and had appropriate dentition for that aspiration. The one on the cover had his mouth open, displaying his startling fangs. Otherwise he looked like an ordinary horse. I don't recall the author or title, and I think the cover artist was uncredited alas. But that image has stuck with me so tightly that I actually surrendered to it and gave my Tapestries character a set of retractable fangs.

Mmmmm... *rubs against your hand* Purrr purrr...

Yes, purr indeed. I'm puma-ish, too: I'm a Pumote! ...or a Coyugar. They're both silly, so what the heck :)

And I loves the lovins of a good rub.

Retractable fangs, eh? Very convenient!
