A guide to wolfspeak and why you shouldn't use it

[Tripwire]

It's been spreading to the warrior cat roleplays. I'm not a huge warrior rp person but when it seems like those are the only avaiable rps in fluorite and I don't want to use that horrible wolf speak I feel quite hopeless. Glad so many others hate it as much as I do. :3

Contradicting many of your opinions, as long as wolfspeak is welcome in the roleplay, I am completely fine with using it. I mean, I know what they're talking about.

Here's the dictionary I use for wolfspeak, which matches it a lot.

So, they're basically just terms to make the roleplay a bit more advanced or intense. I definitely agree that someone overusing them is very annoying, but I tend to use some myself. It's just a bit more enjoyable for me. So, call it annoying if you will, this is your opinion and I am completely fine with it.

I bileve you sir, deserve an award. The only wolfspeaker i've ever met who didn't shoot down someone's opinion as hate.

Dare I say, I myself use a few words from wolfspeak, such as Fae, and brujo, but that's simply to add a little variety to my roleplay sentences so I dont repeat "she" and "he" too many times, or "the female" or "the male". I prefer to use words that actually mean when I'm intending, such as "haunches" or "rump". "Frame" for body. Etc etc... It makes much more sense, and you look so much less like a complete ****. I avoid RPs that I hear using this form of RPing...

^^ I make sure I don't for reasons. I am not at all one-sided here, I mean I am very open to hear all opinions. I don't use wolfspeak that much. Only if others in the roleplay seem to use it fluently. ^^ But thanks for noticing.

As for Sarah, I agree. If it makes sense, why not? I do definitely see where everyone else is coming from by stating it's annoying as a majority of wolf-speak does not make sense.

A while ago I overheard an RPer calling a group of deer "pigmented masses of bones." Now I'm confused. I mean, I know deer have bones, but... they have muscle and skin and organs, too. D: They're more than just colored bones... Is this a normal wolfspeak thing or am I mistaken?

So legit. Much wow. xD

Hi there. There's another site I'm on that has roleplaying as well. And I've seen a lot of people use "Wolf speak." And I'm wondering if I could post this guide on there? ^^; I'd credit you, of course.

It's not just wolves, oh my god.
I just walked into a large group of lions using adjectives and nouns like 'brute' and 'audits' and 'orbs'.

Also, you know what else shouldn't be used? Talking like the character is in a first-person point of view. I mean, really! First of all, roleplay takes place in third-person point of view and second, it really just confuses me. I can't really explain it further, but it's just a pet-peeve.
