Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)There would definitely be people who would say the special effects weren't that good, especially since it'd be filmed on a iPhone or something.
Force the transformation with witnesses, and they're all famewhores lying to sell their money. Or mass hysteria. Or on drugs. Or it's a David Copperfield-style magic trick. Or it's an old stale joke and when are these "witnesses" going to give up the werebeaver thing already.
Be honest, nonny, If someone, right now, today, posted video proof on youtube that Crosby was a werebeaver, would you think "OMG, Crosby is a werebeaver" or would you think, "heh, funny gag, I wonder how the World Cup oif Hockey PR team came up with that idea and whose job it was to talk Crosby into filming it?"
Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)If I saw it on video, probably not. If I saw it with my own two eyes? That might be different. Also, if there were 50 iphone videos as well as an NBC broadcast, that would be a massive and very expensive prank to pull. And then you'd have experts verifying footage and sticking the werebeaver full of needles and observing him on the full moon.
also crosby could never be a werebeaver he is not awesome enough to build dams that literally change the landscape and provide water sources for other animals but are also waterproof inside and also to dig canals at the bottom of lakes that change waterflow patterns beavers are so coolRe: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)And then you'd have experts verifying footage and sticking the werebeaver full of needles and observing him on the full moon.
No, you wouldn't. It's not like people tried to stick needles in David Copperfield after he made the statue of liberty disappear. And even if you have people trying to verify the footage, so what? Are you old enough to remember "Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction" airing on national television? But also, to return to the original point, that's so cliche and overdone. I still say the only way it would work to have secret government types wanting to poke a werebeaver with needles would be as goofy crack. Or as an established relationship fic, where you just personally don't want your lover to know for some reason. Like, say, your lover is a werebear and, as everyone knows, bears prey on beavers.
Who do you think *would* make a good werebeaver? I don't really get why Canada is associated with beavers anyway, since they're found all over the US, too.
Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)I think a werebeaver could be concerned about being stuck with needles, yes. I don't think you need full-out crack for them to be concerned about being discovered and what that might mean for them. If discovering you're a real werebeaver is something that can happen -- presumably true of actual werebeavers -- I don't think you'd go "eh, no one would believe it." And again, real live eye witnesses.
Holtby, because he's a hairy dude with a beastie nickname and half his interviews are about keeping his zen, and obviously he's done a lot of mental training to keep control of his inner beaver. I'd also accept PK Subban, because he's fun. Brent Burns wouldn't mind being a werebeaver that much, but he would mind being a werehuman. The other beavers would never accept someone missing so many important teeth.
Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)A real life eyewitness might have a personal problem with the werebeaver, but they're never going to be able to take it up the team chain, much less the government one. I just can't imagine that conversation being taken seriously at any level.
"I think we need to terminate Holtby's contract."
"Why?"
"He's a werebeaver."
I think someone trying to get proof of a werebeaver would run into issues that would likely get them locked up (or over-medicated) long before they got any proof, which probably wouldn't be believed anyway. They'd look like the principal in Ferris Bueller trying to catch him skipping.
Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)One person wouldn't be believed, but you're basically positing that if were-things were real, there would be absolutely no way for anyone to prove it. And I just don't think that's true. If something is real, then you can prove its existence. Especially if it's right in front of you, squirting water in its hair, which gives you a pretty concrete place to start.
Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)Crosby is the right kind of finicky to get really persistent and precise about dam building imo. Maybe he goes out on full moons and tries to dam Pittsburgh's rivers.
Re: Fic Discussion - an island entire of itself
From: (Anonymous)I think you're failing to realize that I don't want to besmirch the good beaver name by associating such a noble keystone species with Crosby.
