It was the cheesy move to be certain, but when Willow didn’t get a response when she knocked on Jessica’s front door…the tree seemed like a reasonable next step.
Knocks came to the bedroom window of Jessica. The collegiate coach sat upon a branch of a tree effortlessly, and waved at the lantern.

Jessica isn't going to leave her room tonight.

Not that anyone cares.

💬: I might stop by your show tonight though, if there’s any seats left that won’t require me to sell my firstborn, anyways. You seem pretty popular.

….but there’s still rage. The power to rage against the dying of the light.

𐌕𐋅𐌄 𐌐𐌀𐌂𐌊 @nolahowls.bsky.social · 2d

Can any modern movement even possibly succeed in light of both the failings of the previous generations of activists, and the seemingly impenetrable systemic power of their enemies?
Hope that they can make any difference is itself dying among both Garou and plenty of real people…

𐌕𐋅𐌄 𐌐𐌀𐌂𐌊 @nolahowls.bsky.social · 2d

…all movements must face a reckoning regarding what they should or even can do in light of these apocalyptic circumstances.
Should they coalition-build, advertise their message to the often ambivalent or even hostile masses, or just go for the proverbial throat of the problem?

𐌕𐋅𐌄 𐌐𐌀𐌂𐌊 @nolahowls.bsky.social · 2d

But what do these lore tidbits have to do with activism, some may ask.
Because these struggles and pitfalls reflect the existencial problems facing real activists for a myriad of movements.
When facing down environmental destruction, societal rot, and injustice of all kinds…

𐌕𐋅𐌄 𐌐𐌀𐌂𐌊 @nolahowls.bsky.social · 2d

…disregard for mortals, even ones who would be sympathetic to the Garou cause, makes enemies where there could have been allies. Constant disagreements on how best to fight the Wyrn also divides the Garou, to the point where the Garou Nation, a globe-spanning government apparatus, collapsed recently

…enemies.
Now they must fill the roles the other shapeshifters were created to fill, and they’re not particularly good at them most of the time.
On top of that, many Garou distrust, look down on, or outright despise regular humans. After all, they’re readily feeding The Wyrm! Yet this…

So zealous were they in their mission, the Garou massacred the other shapeshifters who served Gaia to minuscule population levels (if not outright extinction) many centuries ago.
This shameful event showcases the major struggle The Garou must face these days. They are their own worst…

…unsuspecting humans to enact cruelties on each other, propagating a spiritually deadly nihilism in the Earth’s populaces.
The Garou (what werewolves call themselves) were created by Gaia to be her warriors, the soldiers who would fight back against the Wyrm and its minions directly.

The world is being killed, if it hasn’t already met its end, and is merely shambling on as a zombie. You see, the world itself is alive in some form or another. Animistic spirits represent every idea and object in the world, including Earth herself. Yet the Wyrm, spirit of destruction…
