Interestingly, those are the same sports that Anita does! How about that! No but seriously, it's kind of weird to me not only that there are two particular types of exercise that wereanimals apparently gravitate towards, but that they also happen to be the ones Anita does. Maybe they're the only ones LKH has any familiarity with?
I suspect that's probably the case. I don't see why therians would gravitate towards weight lifting with the supernatural strength things going though. Wouldn't something more technique based be more useful especially with all the rapey leaders in St. Louis (with the exception of Raphael)? I'd think that a lot of therians would pick up on yoga, tai chi and meditation instead. Things that are relaxing and contemplative to better control the "beast within."
And yet, apparently, "that kind of discrimination was illegal, but hard to prove." Wait, so, it's illegal, but they can still ban you for life over a blood test? Explain that again?
Considering that drug tests can get skewed by eating a poppy seed bagel, there's the potential to overturn a lot of tests on sheer inaccuracy, especially if what you are looking for is hard to find in the first place. I totally agree that the military and the police for that matter could seriously benefit from having thereians around (put therians on the forensic teams!), but they would have to "outed" (for lack of a better term) and have no political ties to the power structures described in St. Louis. My head canon states that this is the case, but word has gotten around about Anita and Co. and steps have been taken to keep any therians on the police force out of the public eye and as far away from Anita and the harem as possible.
God almighty, I just want to take a pair of hedge-clippers and start pruning this. No, better yet, a lawnmower.
No, no, crap like this requires a chainsaw!
Also how convenient that his girlfriend is normally in ANOTHER FREAKIN' STATE, though she's come to visit St. Louis three times in as many months, and "it was as serious as I'd ever seen Jason over anyone." Yeah, the poor girl is definitely doomed. Hopefully she'll just get forgotten by LKH rather than have anything worse happen to her. Interestingly enough, JJ is herself a ballerina and performs in the New York City Ballet. Wow.
JJ sounds nice. I hope she gets forgotten and gets out of this unscathed. Or that she looks at Jason's situation with Jean-Claude and Anita, says, "I'm not against the idea of polyamory, but whatever it is between you and them, I don't think that's what healthy polyamory looks like." Then she walks out into the sunrise, head high and eyes clear.
I love how description of another woman suddenly becomes an excuse to talk about Anita's tits and imply this chick must not have any.
I wonder if LKH realizes that dancers, especially classical and modern dancers, have legs made of liquid steel and titanium. They might look like wispy, but it takes a lot of strength to go on pointe.
Vivian proves herself even more dazzlingly unique in that she is NOT a stripper or anything similar, but in fact has a job as an administrative assistant at an insurance agency. This utterly fascinates me, and that’s a sad testament to how far we’ve come since the days of Irving, the werewolf reporter with a bald spot, or Louie the short wererat who was a biology professor.
I'd like a book for each of them over all the Anita drivel.
