"just wolves with floppy hair" cracks me up

[cosmolinguist]

I got a text from a work mate this morning:

Are you a werewolf? I had a dream you were and I'm really annoyed about what you did to me! 😂

They elaborated: I had a "little pack of hairy trans boys" apparently, hanging out at my house.

I came to your house and it was all nice and then you were like "So we're all werewolves and it's a full moon, so we're gonna give you a head start and then we're gonna hunt you, k?"
Asshole 😛

(They did note this is a "Possible very violent trans metaphor lol.")

You were like "Hey we might not even catch you it's fine!"
You did. Like I said, asshole. 😂

If it helps you didn't kill me, what you did was soooo much worse! So one minute I've fallen over and there are just teeth everywhere and it's just wolves with floppy hair and I'm like "Shit I'm gonna die", and it's a good job pain isn't a thing in dreams, and next it's morning and you're back to just being dudes and you're like "Psych you're one of us now!"

If I wanted a weirdly intense gender allegory with lots of teeth involved there should at least be vampires! 😂

They really like vampires.

I'm saving "little pack of hairy trans boys" to use about the Naughty Corner...

Excellent. :)

From a work mate? Ok, my surprise is in part because I haven't really had work mates for decades so I don't know how those connections develop.

Yeah I've been lucky to be able to make friends on my small team, which is full of good people, and also I'm involved with the LGBT+ staff network which has been another nice way to meet people and be friendly with at work.

That's a very vivid dreamscape to have theses kinds of stories come out of. Pretty cool, honestly.

They have epilepsy and apparently it gives them very vivid dreams - they write a lot of stories from them.
