"Mother? Who were those odd wolves we saw at the Ridge?"

"Odd wolves?" Moon tilted her head at her little son. "What do you mean, Howl?"

"They were wolves," Howl yapped, "but they were all runts, I think.. they were small, and they had the same dark fur on their backs. I think we saw three or.. or four of them."

Moon's grey eyes widened. She looked about, scenting the air, knowing the kind of scent she was looking for. Something that was canine, strong and musty.

"Howl, my small one, where-.. where did you see them?" Moon's tone was serious as she stood, careful not to tread on the tangle of legs and tails and ears in the tall grass. Her mate, Havoc, was asleep nearby, exhausted from their latest foray for food.

Howl stood, tipping his nose to a faraway rocky outcrop on the mountain's back. The Ridge. The place that led to the Burn if you crossed it.. a barren zone where the trees lay charred and stumps stretched for miles.

A place where the prey never ran.

"You saw them on the Ridge, then?"

"They were pacing.. like sire when he gets nervous." Howl averted his gaze. "Back and forth.. they kept looking at us."

"When was this?" Moon sat, lying with her pup sitting between her paws. "And where were you that you could see the Ridge so well?"

Howl's ears drooped and he looked down.

"Howl.." Moon felt a prick of worry in her chest. "Howl, I promise, you are not in trouble."

"I.. I'm sorry! You told us not to stray, but.. Thunder and I.." Howl yelped, tail tucked. "..We didn't mean to go so far, and.. and when we saw them we ran back!"

"Oh..." Moon hugged the curve of her neck around her little one. As much as it filled her with fear to hear this.. she was just glad to hear that Howl and Thunder hadn't been hurt. Worry and anxiety danced in the pale she-wolf's chest like mule deer bucks in the rut. If they'd run back, then those things.. would know where the pups were. Where all of them were.

They needed to move, and fast.

"Come on, now," Moon said, nosing her pups awake. "We must go!"

The little wolves, not much more than two months, wobbled as they stood. They blinked up at the night sky, eyes closing still from sleep. Havoc had gotten up in a flash, pacing around the area, scenting the air for the smaller, vicious canines.

"Howl.." Moon said softly to her fuzzy brown pup. "..They.. the animals you saw.. they are not wolves."

The pup's eyes widened in shock. "Then what are they?"

"Coyotes." Moon said, turning her head to the ridge. "A long time ago, they were like us, but their ways are different from ours. They do not like us wolves."

Howl dipped his head, a frightened look on his face. "They want to.. to hurt us, right?"

Moon nodded. It pained her to teach her pups this, but it was necessary. The whole world was after them. Pumas, coyotes, eagles and bears.. none would stop 'till they were dead.

"My little one, Howl, as long as you are careful, you will be safe." Moon woofed, calling the others to her. "You can recognize coyotes as not-wolves by the fur on their backs, their rank scent, and their thin figures."

"Why do they want to hurt us?"

"Because they want our prey."

"Why can't we share? Like you and sire share what you hunt?"

Moon let out a soft, barking laugh. "They want it all to themselves. But there are so many of them.. that the prey ends up never enough, no matter what."

Howl looked back to the Ridge as they started walking for the night, towards what Moon knew as their summer den.

“Is.. is that's why they're so small and skinny?"

Moon looked up as well. She could see the Ridge from a distance. She'd walked that place, knew its hostile conditions. The herds of deer, elk, and pronghorn never stayed there. Not even wolves wanted to roam that place.. after all, there was nothing there for them in that barren land. A wolf was lucky if they could find even a hare or two to fill their belly for a bit. Mice and voles were hardly any sustenance.

We may not share our food, our lives.. but.. we share our lands, still. And no animal should have to raise their pups there.. not even them.

But there was nothing that would change this. The coyote pack was almost thirty strong, and they were fierce. No wolf pup caught in their grasp would escape their jaws. And they'd make sure of it.

"Yes," she murmured softly. "And my alpha told me that it is for the better."

Even if it isn't.

The mother turned back to the Summer Place, nudging her pups away from that cursed Ridge. She would keep them safe, no matter what. These pups... they were everything.

The group finally found out why my Dnd character is true neutral.

One half if them Kyle is chaotic good the other half Elk is lawful evil.

Guess who spent the whole battle trying to steal the bad guys power scorce for themselves even when they got knocked out? Yap Elk has no self-preservation. She just wants power while following her own set of rules.

[whocaresstillthelouvre]

Yapping.

A quick progress update on things:

Batter Up's next installment iiiiis already at 3,100 words and it's supposed to take place over a full week... um, I'm on the beginning of day two. Soooo, I don't know how long this beast is going to take me but there's a lot of cute important things that happen along with shower role play. HELL YEAH.

Elks is still in the air, I just haven't really had the time to get the pen out and connect the dots. Been really hoping for a free night to take the couple of hours to sit down and figure things out... and it hasn't happened for me yet.

A follow up to Fifteen Minutes is happening, I just don't know where I want to take it, but LORD do I have ideas for novice/touch starved Din.

I have a couple other ideas floating around. I'm almost done watching Narcos (jesus christ too many hot dudes and THEN there's Pedro dripping in sweat) and I *really* want to write Javier but I already feel like my plate is getting too full.

Anyways, like I spoke prior, I own a toy and collectibles store and May is chronically one of our slowest times of the year so we take that time to acquire and bolster our inventory. We just obtained a rather large collection that includes a lot of mystery items that I get to figure out like this babe:

Maybe this will light a fire under my butt and make me not open up my Pages app, stare at the screen, shake my head and close it again?

BURN IT . SAME DESIGN AS MY FUCKING HEARTMONITOR

MY HATRED FOR THIS FUCKER IS INDESCRIBABLE. THE RASHES. THE CHAFING. I WILL KILL IT.

today's bug thing is this ladybug table!

[lunar-cerulean]

I actually made Reyna a model sheet finally WOOOO

That is my self insert but furry version because I couldn’t just furrify Dio and not her.

Also one of the outfits I worked on and will probably do more. I don’t think I’m gonna polish it up though, I have more model sheets to crank out in time for artfight and I have a full work week 🥲

Please ask me anything about her, I’m just waiting for an invitation to yap about her and Dio. I know if I monologue though no one will read it, so I’ll yap just a bit below—

* Reyna is smol, chest level to Dio in both anthro and furry form

* She is weird and grabs things with her feet always barefoot as human like this woman adamantly REFUSES to have her toes restrained, also that’s why she has weird splay hoof as anthro elk

*Much like Part 1 Dio she likes frankensteining animals together, her mount is a tiger bear maned wolf thing she threw together and uses it to chomp people she doesn’t like

*She also refuses to wear pants

*Before her stand she has all of Part 1 Dio’s abilities but she has had more experience with them versus Dio had not, she could selectively infect cells and mutate them but at a very limited level, versus her stand Lunar Cerulean gave her a lot more room to screw around with things at the cellular level and she can now make new things instead of corrupting them (imagine golden wind but leaning towards evil instead of good).

*She’s killed every husband she married

moose are so cool, i actually think that's my new favorite animal? they're so aggressive sometimes but also like just so fucking majestic like if i could be any animal if i had the choice i'd be a moose.

moose are excellent swimmers and like fucking huge. i think they're gorgeous animals, the bulls with their big bulky antlers and the cows with their protective nature.

i remember reading this book when i was in like 4th grade, old wolf- i probably still have a copy somewhere but it was a really good book. it was my favorite book when i read it for sure, but it was just so cool to me.

switched perspectives from the wolf to the boy, when the wolf was like practically dying and hunting it was just like so fucking beautiful. i'm pretty sure he was hunting elk but i can't remember but it was probably elk. but that doesn't even matter.

i've never seen a moose in my life before, like not physically but like holy shit what i would give to be a moose? they're fucking epic. they're huge, amazing and fascinating animals. they're like bigger than a car, and like a lot of stuff.

i love moose so much they're so silly and like amazing and cool and like! moose.

i didn't mean to yap this much originally but like!

I will yap endlessly about q!roier and it's not even funny

- [ #elk rambles ] -> all original posts that I've written.

- [ #elk writes ] -> for all long posts that I've put some semblance of effort into (usually about character analysis or story writing). (Shorter posts also about characters and such will only go onto #elk rambles tho)

-[ #elk doodles ] -> doodles, drawings, other artisty stuff.

I ALWAYS put a q! or c! when talking about characters, and don't put those when talking about CC unless it's in a oneshot

i need a room full of taxidermy and trinkets and oddities like this or i will die an incomplete, sad man.

I showed someone a photo of my room, and their response was “I thought this was a photo of a haunted house attraction at first”

I think. This is a success.

(This was the photo)

same anon that was talking about raph earlier but if you’re comfortable with it i’m just being curious about him. did he have a fascination with the ocean when he was younger and that’s why he wanted to do underwater welding or was that a direction someone pointed him to? has he ever wanted to get any tattoos? what type of music does he like (doesn’t have to be time period related because if i could i’d introduce the lad to korn)

oh id love to yap more about my son, nonnie! ♡ thankyou for sending these!!

so raph initially started here as danilo ( now his middle name ) or, my version of danny gaines. and partly due to that and bc while i dont necessarily outright ship danny x julie i did attribute both pre-raph dan & julie to ocean aesthetics together! where julie was more those bright, soft blue shorelines and coral reefs and gentle crashing waves to raphs' harsher storms at sea, the dark depths below the surface, the unknown and unpredictability that comes with descending deeper into the darkening blue.

now that i have him separated from that tie back to gaines and hes an oiriginal character in his own right? his connection to the ocean i feel came from when his mom was still in the picture. raph is mexican-colombian and most of his maternal side of the family lives there still, hes never met them. but i imagine they live close along the coastlines of colombia - possibly around / nearby barranquilla! but i imagine his mom used to tell him all sorts of stories from home, of the beaches and the seaports, of the magdalena river ( smiles in maria alias mention ), all kinds of things. i think part of him, as much as raph puts on a good stone-face and doesnt show or speak on his family alot - i do think he misses his mom, more than he lets on. and the ocean in part is a small reconnect back to her, the family he never got to know, the younger half-sister he only recently found out about before the house events happened.

i think those connections drew him to the ocean first and foremost. and then, after graduating hs, which he just managed to given his history, he didnt feel confident he would make it into any proper university, like maria did. he didnt trust that his past wouldnt bite him in the ass. so, when he gotten information on trade schools, he went that route. and when he saw mentions about welding generally? that caught his attention. the port & underwater welding came after that, and although it drives him away from the flores', although it draws him hours from austin & his friends, he found a love in what he did with his trade. he enjoys it, it has the potential to earn real good. hes found something that to him, gives him purpose to a point. its something hes achieving, something he can be proud of for himself. and something that, though he doesnt admit it, makes him incredibly happy when he hears those same sentiments from maria, from ana, from mama flores. from their friends.

so i think its a mix of both! he had a pull to the sea bc of his mom as a way to connect back to her, even subconsciously. and was specifically pointed towards underwater welding as he was looking at different trades to work towards instead of fighting to get accepted into a uni!

he does have some tattoos!! i do fear i may have to go looking for specific ones to kinda reference to but! he has bergamot flowers on his left shoulder silhouetting an elk - which, elks have several meanings / myths regarding topics like strength, endurance, survival, protection, and devotion even if it brings death. bergamots are often used as a reminder that you, alone, are the only authority over your life. it serves to reaffirm to the receiver that they are empowered to their own free will as they navigate through life. and its a flower that maria, when he was released from juvie following his arrest in his teens had added into a 'welcome home!' type-bouquet she'd picked to give him when he got out. they're now a reminder for himself to keep that meaning in mind. his right arm also has a somewhat more light-hearted possum tattoo. he likely has more but those are some of his more notable ones ^_^

and for music yesssss!!!! raph would definitely listen to korn LMAO he's got at least one of their songs on one of his playlists im sure! he's definitely more inclined towards rock / metal / etc than anything! ^_^ which bc im silly & like to share, i'll list some of his playlists here :

mixtape - what plays through his radio. ode to maria - to be as soft as you. general raph vibes - throat-torn dog. dire verse - choke chained.

& then for the real funsies of it all,

raph & johnnys friendship vibes - raphjohnathan. all the boys - boys night!

raph is generally the kind that listens to rock but also especially angry rock LMAO guy uses it to yknow. let off steam without punching something.... or.. someone-
