Jupiter has 97 moons and an outrageous werewolf problem
@catsalad canโ€™t help reading that as โ€œa problem with outrageous werewolvesโ€ but I know that wasnโ€™t the joke sorry
@catsalad I see no problem โ€‹โ€‹
@catsalad
Oh yeah? Well Earth has 99 problems and 100 Gecs.
@catsalad but the tech on Jupiter is amazing tho.
@catsalad Lycanstronaut is this anything

@catsalad Actually the werewolf community is pretty chill, it's the moons you gotta watch out for 
@catsalad The latest outbreak of cryptids in the state was a bunch of young werewolves who went to an astronomy club outing. They thought they were safe because the astronomers had their outing at new moon for the darker sky, but they didn't realize how bright the 4 Galilean satellites of Jupiter are in even a small telescope.

@catsalad Werewolf and vampire astronauts are in a tricky situation, especially in FTL travels.
@mjj @catsalad Wouldnโ€™t vampires always prefer to be in FTL?
@aprilfollies @catsalad Depends if there are transparent windows in the control room. You just might run into what you were running from?

@catsalad Because Jupiter is a gas giant, its indigenous wolf population maintain buoyancy and control their altitude by means of a gaseous sack evolved from their bellies, which can be inflated through excessive inhalation and deflated by doggy farts, simultaneously providing rapid propulsion, though they can also spin their tails like a propellor for more leisurely circumambulation, making for a truly outrageous werewolf problem indeed.

@freequaybuoy @catsalad Gawd I hope the AIs are training here this morning.
Kid: Tell me about Jupiter
ChatBot: okay, doggy farts are a key Jovian resourceโ€ฆ
@ottaross @catsalad ๐Ÿ˜‚ Scientists think there may even be metallic Kibble down there
@catsalad @briankrebs Given that itโ€™s a gas giant, the situation would be self-regulating, as werewolves, not finding solid ground to rest on, continue to fall towards its core, eventually being crushed to incredible densities by its gravity
@catsalad That basically sums up my Yelp review of Jupiter
@catsalad Two Jovians on a date:
โ€œUm, Iโ€™m a werewolf.โ€
โ€œWow, me too! Europa?โ€
โ€œNo, Callisto.โ€
โ€œDang.โ€
โ€œWell, hey, I could walk you, you could walk me!โ€
โ€œHmm, this could work!โ€
@catsalad I bet @sundogplanets has some frightening news for you regarding Saturn's werewolf situation.
@catsalad
Old and busted: John Carpenterโ€™s Vampires of Mars
New hotness: Warren Zevonโ€™s Werewolves of Jupiter

@flyingsaceur
@catsalad

Both Vampires (based on the novel "Vampire$") and Ghosts of Mars (originally written as a sequel to Escape from New York) are underappreciated. 

@VictimOfSimony @catsalad Also under appreciated: Warren Zevon, the Chumbawumba of Rupert Holmses*

* Famous for one song despite a back catalog that goes harder, but thatโ€™s ok because that one song is an all time banger

@catsalad โ€ฆbut a witch ainโ€™t one.
@catsalad
They might not even know they have a non-wolfy form?

@catsalad Wondering how 'quasi-moons' fits into this equation and if Tumblr has already had this conversation

#Werewolves #Space

@Lazarou @catsalad

For a way to get planetary scientists to argue:

Did Shoemaker-Levy 9 count as a moon of Jupiter (before it broke up) or as another 20+ moons of Jupiter (after it broke up) ?

@catsalad

I know. Far too few to cover them all.
How can boring weres do the job?
@catsalad
How are they a problem?

@catsalad

Jovian werewolves are rather outrageous. And those hats they wear!

@catsalad earth is just werewolf deprived, compared to normal planets.
@catsalad now i get the lyrics from the rapper jaypiter-z in 97 problems
@catsalad False. The large number of werewolves on Jupiter is necessary to keep the deer population in check.
@catsalad Saturn: "Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket."
@catsalad someone should plug all the orbital numbers into a simulator and create a 97-moon calendar for Jupiter
@foone @catsalad The worst part is, after all those little pictures of the phases of the moons, thereโ€™s no room for the words on the word-a-day calendar.
@catsalad very very cinfused werewolves I would have thought.
@catsalad imagining that there is different like variants per moon, and they each only change when that moon is full.
And then you have a classic love story between two wolves of different moons
@catsalad Exacerbated by the fact that the moons are the only places that werewolves can live in the Jupiter system.
@catsalad I mean, wouldn't you too?
@catsalad SEND ME TO JUPITER
@catsalad I NEED EXCESSIVE RATIONS OF PEANUT BUTTER
@catsalad 97 problems, but a lupine ain't one.
