ok ye . ava walks around and looks for owl pellets n stuff. p good because she can walk up the hillside or down to the water and theres all these rocky outcroppings that owls and birds of prey have dropped bones on. also she likes walking to th main road (its not vry busy) and looking if theres anything lying around there also because the eagles and crows n stuff hang around there wanting to eat any roadkill that ends up there. she makes noises to the birds and talks to them (asks: is that flat rabbit tasty?) things like that

would you want expecto patronum to be added in the game? also whats your/ your mc’s patronus if you dont mind me asking!
Hey anon, thanks for the message!
Not sure tbh , apart from not really being relevant to the narrative I'm not too sure what they would be gameplay wise? I can think of a loooot of questions - Would they be a normal damage spell that only effects certain enemies? A sort of summon like the plants? A sort of ward? An aggro ability/ something that distracts enemies? etc - imo I think a summon sort of ability with it's own skills tree might be pretty cool for a future game , maybe the type of animal would determine it's function? 🤔
Mine's a heron and Tristan's patronus is a sparrow hawk - Here's a lil fan written excerpt from hogwartsishere.com that I quite like;
A sparrow hawk patronus can represent an owner who values leadership, but knows that time to step in. As well as that, it can represent a witch or wizard with great observation skills, who is able to step out to see all sides of the story. You are very logical and focus on seeing every opinion to make sure yours is correct. Sparrow hawks represent focus and determination. They remind us to understand the past, the present, and the future, and to not be so caught up in minor inconveniences. Above all, the sparrow hawk represents alertness, as they are known as warning totems that let others know when to avoid a situation.

Sometimes I don't think raw-feeders consider some of the stuff they advocate for is no longer legal in this day and age:

I needed one more route 01 fakemon for this region, and I remembered a species very common were I live, vole or more commonly called field mouses. They are extremely small and loves to borrow in our garden so I had the idea of making a little pollen spreading mouse sprite that retreat into it's flower whenever it feels treatened.
#023 Smollen | Ground/Fairy Type The Pollen Mouse Pokemon
Smollen are extremely small, they pick flowers that serves them as hat to shield them from the sun. While many sees them as pests that invade garden, their fuzzy body collect pollens that help propagate plants of many kind, they are very good pollinator. #024 Volenome | Ground/Fairy Type  The Garden Mouse Pokemon
When a volenome picks a garden it is a sign of good luck as they take care of it through their entire life span. They make sure their garden is in good health and protect them from pokemon that tries to either eat it or destroy it. Their pollen spore effect varies from extreme itchiness to drowsiness.

Болотная сова (Asio flammeus) – среднего размера сова: длина ее тела колеблется от 34 до 42 см, вес самцов - 0,23-0,39 кг, самок - 0,24-0,43 кг. Крылья у нее длинные, ноги украшены пучками из перьев, на голове расположены маленькие вертикально стоящие "ушки" из перьев.
Болотная сова распространена очень широко, она обитает на всех континентах, кроме Австралии и Антарктики и населяет соленоводные болота, прибрежные равнины, хвойные леса, тундру, трясины, поля, прерии, высокотравные степи (часто с солончаками), луга (в поймах рек и озер), гористые местности и субальпийские луга, сельскохозяйственные угодья и парковые насаждения. Во всех местах обитания болотная сова придерживается открытых пространств.
Большую часть рациона этой птицы составляют мелкие грызуны (мыши, полёвки, лемминги, крысы, хомяки и ондатры), кролики, землеройки, летучие мыши, птицы (кулики, крачки, мелкие чайки, жаворонки и дрозды), насекомые (кузнечики, жуки, гусеницы) и иногда рыба.
Охотится болотная сова в любое время суток, низко паря над открытым пространством. На добычу она обычно нападает с полета или из засады и несёт ее в когтях. Болотные совы – моногамы и образуют постоянные пары. Самец привлекает самку на свой участок красивыми пируэтами в воздухе. Иногда в брачных полетах участвуют обе птицы: они гоняются друг за другом, сцепляются когтями или в шутку борются. Гнездом обычно служит расчищенная самкой ямка диаметром до 40 см на вершине плоской кочки среди густой травы или тростника. В кладке 4–7 яиц, которые насиживает самка.
Swamp Owl (Asio flammeus) – medium-sized owl: its body length ranges from 34 to 42 cm, the weight of males is 0.23-0.39 kg, females - 0.24-0.43 kg. Her wings are long, her legs are decorated with tufts of feathers, and small vertically standing "ears" of feathers are located on her head.
The is very widespread, it lives on all continents except Australia and Antarctica and inhabits saltwater swamps, coastal plains, coniferous forests, tundra, bogs, fields, prairies, tall grass steppes (often with salt marshes), meadows (in floodplains of rivers and lakes), mountainous areas and subalpine meadows, agricultural lands and parkland. In all habitats, the swamp owl adheres to open spaces.
Most of the diet of this bird consists of small rodents (mice, voles, lemmings, rats, hamsters and muskrats), rabbits, shrews, bats, birds (sandpipers, terns, small gulls, larks and thrushes), insects (grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars) and sometimes fish.
The swamp owl hunts at any time of the day, hovering low over an open space. It usually attacks prey from flight or from ambush and carries it in its claws. Swamp owls are monogamous and form permanent pairs. The male attracts the female to his site with beautiful pirouettes in the air. Sometimes both birds participate in mating flights: they chase each other, lock claws or jokingly fight. The nest is usually a hole cleared by a female with a diameter of up to 40 cm on top of a flat hummock among dense grass or reeds. There are 4-7 eggs in the clutch, which are incubated by the female.

There's this website I like using with my students sometimes that has a bunch of simple lil virtual models on it to teach various aspects of ecology, like this one that shows how two species of bacteria compete in a petri dish to illustrate niches, and this one that shows both how to estimate field vole populations using mark-recapture but also how their trap preferences affect the results, and this much fancier one showing how barnacles are affected by sea level rise. They are simple and fun and pedagogically useful. I like them.
I also want to make one of my own to teach climate proxies; sediment cores using foraminifera and their temperature-induced spiralling shells, for example, or pollen or beetle casings or what have you. Tree rings. Ice cores. Shit like that. So, the student would have an image of a layered sediment core, the model would generate random-but-within-parameters numbers of clockwise or anti-clockwise spiral foraminifera, in each layer, boom. Past climate record generated.
THE PROBLEM: I am a fucking moron when it comes to coding. I have tried so many times. It just absolutely resists my ability to understand. It's my Achilles heel. I'm an imbecile. A cretin. A joke.
THE POSSIBLE SOLUTION: my friend Dan who knows how to code.
THE NEW PROBLEM: there has been an XKCD-style assumption about baseline knowledge
