Mystery Solved

[rodentfanatic.livejournal.com]

You know that weird clear fluid goop that comes out the shapeshifters when they change? Haven't we all wondered about that? A friend of mine was just reading the AB wiki and he came across this part....

"The bones shift under the skin and after that step a clear and hot fluid comes out of the body and the person is transformed. The body of the person is always dry and clean afterwards, however objects and other people will not be if they are in close proximity. And if not an alpha then s/he will be tired afterward."


...and he said to me "I finally get it. It's a sex metaphor."

MYSTERY SOLVED although now I kinda wish we'd never figured it out.

Everything is about sex in LKH's books. Except sex, which is about power.

And power, which is about how long Jean-Claude can grow his hair.

But Jean-Claude's long hair makes the circle back to sex again.

It's the circle of spooge.
