pack anatomy 🌲

packs can consist of 6-20 members though the average is thought to be around 10

there is usually 2 main wolves, sometimes known as alphas but that terms outdated, these are usually the main parents and give birth to most of the pack

a litter usually consists of 4-6 pups and they are all born blind and vulnerable and they usually stay in the den and with their mother for about 2 years

older siblings have been known to look after younger siblings if needed

the packs social bond is very strong and have fierce devotion to their pack. they have been known to mourn loss, which is what a lone howl usually is, they have also been seen to sacrifice themselves for their pack

(WIP) 🚧

communication 🦴

vocalisation:

every pack as its own unique howl to distinguish different packs and if they are on someone else's territory

a defensive howl is to keep the pack together and keep predators out of their territory

a social howl is to locate one another

barking, though rare, is used as a warning for example a mother wolf may bark of she senses danger around her pups

whimpering and whining can indicate a "i give up/in"

growling is also used as a warning but for more dominance like protecting their territory

body language and posture:

a wolf interacting with it pack can say lots about the status of the wolf and the pack

less dominant wolves usually crouch to make themselves look more smaller

they also lick the muzzles of more dominant wolves

slinking is another "i give in" and is a more submissive behaviour and is show in fights and disagreements with the pack

dominant wolves usually have a more confident upright posture to show said dominance

they also rest their head on submissive wolves neck or back

facial expressions:

when angry their ears stick upright and they bear their teeth for example when two wolves have a disagreement they will show this and growl

when suspicious they squint their eyes and put their ears back

when in fear they flatten their ears

when they want to play they display the play bow and dance around

as a warning they will curl the end of their lips displaying a bit of teeth

when relaxed their eyes are just on their sides

tail position:

tail tucking is a sign of being in fear and submission

a more dominant tail position is sticking it out and slightly upward

a neutral tail position is wagging

scent marking

they mark their territory with pheromones

these pheromones come out from glands on the toes, tail, eyes, skin and genitalia

they mark territory with urine and scat (i will not be doing this)

they have also been known to mark food

submission:

there are 2 types of submission: active and passive

active submission: is where a wolf shows signs of inferiority like tail tucking, muzzle licking and crouching (pups do this with adults)

passive submission: passive submissions is when a wolf lays on its back or side displaying the stomach or chest which is a vulnerable part of the body because it contains vital organs it is show to more dominant wolves when they get into a disagreement the less dominant one usually gives up and shows passive submission to show the others authority

playing:

they are known to get zoomies like how domestic dogs do

some games they play include: chase, tug of war or jaw sparring

jaw sparring is when two wolves will rear up on their hind legs and use their front paws and jaws

a range of vocals come out when playing this this fortifies bonds and status and shows physical skills

a more casual version of this is then laying down

facts + misconceptions 🌕

they have 42 teeth

they have 4 toes with claws and run on their toes not their pads

despite running on their toes they can run at 16-38 miles per hour

they can swim up to 8 miles

they have 200 million scent cells

they can eat 20 pounds of meat in one meal

they don't howl at the moon that was a myth people thought because of werewolves their howls are actually just more clear at night because there is usually less wind and other sound

alpha, beta, omega ect roles don't actually exist there is just more dominant wolves and less dominant wolves the alpha is usually just the parent but there is a social hierarchy in packs

wolves don't hibernate at all so they can be seen all year around

the biggest pack ever consisted of 400 wolves which was found in the outskirts of the woods in russia (i made a post abt then when i got 400 followers)

wolves have their own unique personality

northern rocky mountain wolves are one of the biggest subspecies

this is my pack so far :3 ✨ idk why im adding this i rlly like wolps at the minute and im going to get more ^^

@alex51324 asked me about Soviet YA novels, I’ll try to tell as much as I can remember.

As a Soviet (especially, the later period) child, you were covered. My mum read me and my brother books before we went to bed up until I was 12 and my brother was 10. There was a variety of stories, both Soviet and translated, including Tove Jansson, Astrid Lindgren, A.A. Milne, Gianni Rodari et al. Soviet authors included N.Nosov, S.Mikhalkov, S.Marshak, K.Chukovsky, A.Barto, E. Uspensky, G. Oster, A. Nekrasov, That is, speaking of the XX century literature. Earlier fairy tales were abundant too. One funny thing I need to mention is that in the USSR copyright laws were different, so reworkings of foreign works were published as original works (fanfiction could fly in the USSR), so we had The Wizard of the Emerald City by A.Volkov (The Wizard of Oz) and its multiple original sequels, and The Golden Key by A.Tolstoy (Pinocchio). My cousin also had a weird little book with a fat man sitting by a round door on the cover. It was some obscure children’s book from England with a weird name, published in the 80s. Something that would never catch up as it had no princesses or knights, phew.

I wasn’t a Soviet child as I was born 1 year before the collapse, but most books in my town’s library and at my home were Soviet or republished.

When you became 12-13, it suddenly became a bit more difficult. You started looking at books that were written for adults in the XIX century.

Out of distinctly YA Soviet literature, I remember sci-fi (Kir Bulychev for younger readers and the Strugatsky brothers for like 13+), novels about girls living in small towns and falling in love for the first time before something very dramatic like war, revolution or moving to another town, happened (I don’t remember any names except for Wild Dog Dingo by Ruviim Frayerman) and high, almost fantasy romance like Crimson Sails by A.Grin. There were also books about young revolutionaries or war heroes, I wasn’t very much into them, but I liked The Story about a Real Man by B.Polevoy about a Soviet pilot who lost both his legs and continued serving as a pilot in WW2, it was based on a true story. There was also a micro genre of stories about orphans, with such authors as Lev Kassil, and Belykh and Panteleyev.

As much as I liked stories about princesses as a child, I didn’t really care about stories of first love as a teen. At 14 I completely reverted to foreign classical literature, reading A.Dumas-father, A.C. Doyle, Poe, Wilde, Stevenson etc. I think most Soviet teen readers did the same. Jules Verne was also big as were Twain, O.Henry, Jack London and some other writers who aren’t remembered in the West due to being commies.

As I was a teenager in 00s, I also read some R.L.Stein and modern Russian books for teens, not all of them were great. Soviet books that stood the test of time were all pretty good quality though.

HI I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS! why did you drink your own pee? what did that taste like? whats your favorite snake? whats your favorite lizard? favorite turtle? whats your favorite australian saying? whats your favorite sea animal besides killer whales? what color is your hair? how about your eyes? how tall are you? whats bushgender mean? do you play any instruments? whats the model of your car? what color is it? can you get custom license plates in australia? do YOU have a custom license plate?

Ah, Christ. Knew telling you cunts that would come back to bite me in the arse.

Why did you drink your own piss?

I was dying and thirsty. My pride and dignity is not more important than my life. So I drank my own piss. On the plus side, it worked. I had enough moisture in me to keep trekking for two days until I found actual water and then I was so half-lucid with dehydration that I almost drowned myself trying to drink it. On the plus side I got one helluva story and a new name!

(Don't do dehydration, kids.)

What did that taste like?

Tangy.

What's your favourite snake?

The one in me daks. Really though, probably Oxyuranus microlepidotus, or the dandarabilla. Most venomous snake on the planet, but not the most dangerous since these snakes are only really found in a VERY small region of the Outback in which VERY few people live, so you're very unlikely to encounter one. That said they do have the most toxic venom of all snake species on the planet (with the highest untreated lethality rate of all snake species at OVER EIGHTY PERCENT) and their venom goes into effect about 30 minutes after envenomation, and fatality usually occurs within 45 minutes of envenomation. So if you get bit you're fucked, basically.

Unlike many snakes, the dandarabilla ALSO has an envenomation rate of OVER EIGHTY PERCENT. That means that over 80% of the time they're going to inject venom. Venomous snakes can do something called a "dry bite," which is usually used as a warning strike and consists of them biting you without injecting venom. But the dandarabilla says "fuck that and fuck you, cunt" and INJECTS VENOM OVER EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE TIME.

Compare that to Crotalus atrox, the western diamondback rattlesnake, who only injects venom 60% of the time.

What's your favourite lizard?

The one in me daks. (For those of you that don't get it, chucking a piss is also called "draining the lizard" here.) My answer is Varanus giganteus, the perentie. I saw one eat a cat once. They scare me. I like them. (Also I fought one for rights to a pig carcass that I shot so they have no fear of humans.)

Favourite turtle?

The one in me- Okay this joke isn't working now. Macrochelys temminckii, the alligator snapping turtle. They're cool as hell, look fucking prehistoric, and can bite my fingers off. I think they're neat.

What's your favourite Australian saying?

"Well I'm not here to fuck spiders." City roos will tell you that we made that up as a joke for tourists but it's bullshit, we actually do say that in the Outback. We also use the alternative "Well I didn't come here to finger dingos." We're very crass, us Aussies.

If you ever want to find an Aussie in the wild just shout "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE" and any Aussies in the vicinity will immediately reply "OI OI OI!" It's our mating call.

I also love our age-old curse of "May your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down," which literally translates to "May your chickens (chooks) turn into emus and kick your toilet (dunny) down."

Also "dry as a dead dingo's donger," meaning you're very thirsty, "don't come the raw prawn with me," which means "don't try to pull one over on me," and every meaning of our slang usage of the word "piss."

What's your favourite sea animal besides orcas?

Octopodes are cool as. I love giant isopods. Siphonophores are pretty spiffy. I'd like to see marine iguanas.

What colour is your hair? How about your eyes? How tall are you?

I was born a strawberry blonde, but as I've gotten older it's darkened to a dirty blonde (I've got some neat natural highlights though). On good days (and with a lot of sun) it really lightens up to a golden blonde but that's usually only visible at the bottom of my mullet that gets sunlight. Most of my hair is obscured by my hat so it stays dark. I have light blue eyes that sort of alternate between blue and grey depending on the amount of light (grey in a room, light blue in direct sunlight). I'm a manlet and that's all I'm going to say about my height (I got my mum's shortness).

What's bushgender mean?

Honestly, I just... don't care about gender? It doesn't exist out in the bush. There's just my own biology and I'm not reminded of gender at all until I interact with people. I like it that way. I'm not necessarily nonbinary since I'm a bloke, it's just that gender is a complete afterthought to me so I just don't think about it. My gender is the bush. I am a bushie. The land doesn't care what I think of myself so why should I?

Do you play any instruments?

I can make dove calls with my hands. Also I play the harmonica but I'm terrible at it.

What's the model of your car? What colour is it?

'99 Ford. Not telling you the model because I don't like stalkers lmao but it's a ute with a camper in the tray. It's white. The paint reflects heat instead of absorbing so my engine is less likely to overheat in the Outback sun. Also white's an inoffensive colour so it stands out less in the bush than, say, black or blue or red or whatever.

Can you get custom number plates in Australia? Do you have a custom number plate?

Yes you can and yes I do! I run a business after all! I need to have something that identifies me!

My aasimar got trapped in a fairy's body.

Yep. You heard me right. I haven't played dungeons and dragons in about over a year, but I've recently gotten into a new campaign, and I'm already so excited about it. Being a girl who reads more fantasy than she drinks water, I've always wanted to play a fairy. At first, I was going to make her a bard. Then. I remembered Wild Magic Sorcerers exist. Ever since watching Dingo Doodles dnd series, I've been itching for a chance to play a wild magic sorcerer. This was the perfect opportunity. Imagine a little spitfire fairy fluttering around with a chance of blowing something up just because she cast speak with animals??? Of course, I'm a writer, so the brainstorming didn't stop there. A few days after I sent my dm the idea, a spark came to me. What if my fairy wasn't actually a fairy? In a matter of a day of brainrotting and brainstorming, the concept arrived: an aasimar with wild magic was killed at a dinner party, and her wild magic reincarnated her into a fairy (it's an actual thing that can happen, look it up on the wild magic chart.) And this is how Harper Sunroot, my aasimar wild sorcerer trapped in a fairy body was born. She has been in one session, and already she is being framed for a crime she didn't commit. I expect nothing less of the chaos of dungeons and dragons.

Death Vengeance ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Finale [3/3]

[Beyond the Bounds by Maki Kimura plays]

"It's that time again. The news to the real world was shocked when fictional death city have mysteriously vanished from the face of the United States's map."

"A criminal mastermind known as Neo Metal Sonic had teleported both the school and the city itself into outer space, waiting for to be the target of it's final execution."

"And they say that if Neo Metal's demands were not met within in the next 24 hours...The mass weapon of destruction called the Eclipse Cannon will be firing at Death Weapon Meister Academy as part of a contingency plan, to destroy the Kusakabe legacy."

"Tsugumi Harudori, known as the halberd hero Sir Halberd, who turns out to be the self-proclaimed creator of Meta Knight's flying masterpiece and now plans to create an army to go against. Hehehehe... So now... it's time for me to get myself into gear."

[woman singing in Finnish]

Dingo : It's showtime! [Get into Jehuty's cockpit]

ADA : Greetings pilot : Dingo Egret. Weapons armed and ready for combat operation. Preparing for launch.

Dingo : Hey, Leo. I heard the whole thing from that weird monster attack incident in Japan seven years ago.

Leo Stenbuck [via Communication] : Yeah, a school from another world got transported into space, and more importantly, a girl that claimed to be the hero of Soul World that ain't appeared who she was.

Dingo : We found a photo of two girls that are heirs of that alien menace. (Shows a photo of Moirai and her sister (Maka)) These girls are the daughters of the brethren of Phanto...Moirai and her young Identical twin sister that consider to share the race's blood.

Leo Stenbuck [via Communication] : Oh, man. You're joking, right? This is the "real" Maka Albarn? I thought the Maka Albarn that everyone knew on earth was supposed to be a human.

Dingo : The real Maka Albarn was actually born on the same planet that Phanto has taken her mother to the sanctuary due to having the same blood as Master Phanto, one the brethrens's most powerful beings in the Galaxy. While on earth, the Maka Albarn they knew was an imposter, a nosy demon disguising itself as the hero of Soul World covering the whole planet in a layer of pitch black.

Leo Stenbuck [via Communication] : Who knew that she faked being the hero of a Shounen Icon? It's clear that we finally managed to get along with the mysteries of Inky Albarn's whereabouts, of why would a demon would cover the whole planet in darkness.

Dingo [via Communication] : Beats me. Something tells me that the school and the fictional town Death City is now the target of an execution event going on. But whatever it is, it's no execution, they're using school and the city itself becoming a death trap orchestrated by blue robot that wanted to destroy Shinra's legacy.

Leo Stenbuck [via Communication] : Yes, that might be true.

Dingo : [sighs] God damn it. It's been 10 long years since was dropped out by Kojima himself. Where did it all go wrong?

Leo Stenbuck [via communication] : Well, things have changed since the popularity of Metal Gear, but right now we need more focus on stopping that robot menace. This is what we prepared for,

Dingo : You got that right. Come on, let's go give this blue robot a taste of his own medicine.

Leo Stenbuck [via communication] : Good. Over and out.

[the two orbital frames flies off]

Dingo : This is gonna be a fun wild ride.

"We are the Machines and we have the the power to bring souls as a great source of robot energy from this planet."

"Humans, Witches, and Demons have valuable efforts of putting their hatred between each other and making Humankind and Witchkind being an arrogants caused by the Kusakabe Legacy itself."

"Humans of Soul World is so pathetic being heroes to yourselves."

Soul Evans : Damn you, Metal! You will pay for this.

"So as becoming the once known Ultimate Overlord, this world of Soul Eater shall be nothing but a pile of space dust! And the real world will be mine!"

Shinigami (?) : (sighs) This is ridiculous. When will everyone become a deathscythe now?

Great Old One of Power (?) : So, is it true that you finally understand on what happened after becoming God of Death?

Shinigami (?) : No. Not like this. [takes off his face ; revealing Shotaro's face] Looks like I'm not worthy of being death itself.

Eibon (?) : And it is true. You thought of becoming a Death God of your own in the Ohkuboverse, but i realized that all data from the Kusakabe Legacy is officially going to have it's end for no means tomorrow. You can take that stupid costume off, Shotaro.

[Shinigami's body reverts into Shotaro's, Great Old of power reverts into Mana Hinoki and Eibon takes off his mask, revealing to be Yohei himself]

[All Torn Down - Jun Senoue]

Yohei Nanami : So, is everything going according to plan, Shotaro?

Mana Hinoki : Looks like we're ready to finish the job of back where we started.

Shotaro the Dokeshi : Not now, guys. Once again I think I wanted to become the Death God I wanted to be, but eventually, I failed becoming like one.

Yohei Nanami :You don't turn down on me. But we eventually coming down on our tracks. We can continue to fight, we can still fight to save the planet, and keeping the nations strong. But you lost your primordial form as a death god due to the effects of Time reversing in the Ohkuboverse, and there might be a way that we can finally reveal of What Demon Vibe was planning on using these villains as puppets!

Shotaro the Dokeshi : Guys. This isn't about souls or a team of three, this is about the stupid legacy that Shinrw created, Demon Vibe planned this from the beginning and we were doomed from the start. But you are right, we must keep the nations strong. I'll handle this one with the help of my friends! If only Emine hadn't become the victim to the heartlesses, we would've stopped demon vibe's plan of conquering a universe. Who or what has Demon Vibe created the Ohkuboverse in the first place?

Yohei Nanami : There would be someone that have might of created the ohkuboverse, a fictional universe that created one being that is responsible for the Ohkuboverse what created the ohkuboverse, and what made the inspiration for our to created the universe that we lived in?

Shotaro the Dokeshi : Hmmm....

Mana Hinoki : Please, Shotaro. Tell us who created the Ohkuboverse?

Shotaro the Dokeshi : Okay...I can think of one person that created the ohkuboverse 2000 years ago. I found an old photo frame a legendary TV Star from 1990s superhero shows. The Ohkuboverse isn't created by one man, but a woman at least that Fire and Soul go to together. Combining with the elements that is mixture of religious that is the Holy Fire and the Holy Soul. This is one person that we can think of...the one that demon vibe helped with, started it all. This is the one that really started the Ohkuboverse.

Yohei Nanami : Is this...?

Mana Hinoki : Huh...? This is the one that started it all?

[In Shotaro's hand is a photo of the Sailor Scouts]

Yohei Nanami : This is...Sailor Moon star Rei Hino, Sailor Scout codename : Sailor Mars. This gives me the reason that the Ohkuboverse is created by Superheroes called Magical Girls.

Australian Cattle Dog

The compact but muscular Australian Cattle Dog, also called Blue or Red Heeler or Queensland Heeler, is related to Australia's famous wild dog, the Dingo. These resilient herders are intelligent enough to routinely outsmart their owners. Standing between 17 to 20 inches at the shoulder, the Australian Cattle Dog is a sturdy, hard-muscled herder of strength and agility. The ACD is born with a white coat that turns either blue-gray or red. Both coat colors may feature distinctive mottling or speckling patterns. ACDs have immense work drive and excel at controlling and, of course, moving livestock. Their boundless energy and supple gait make them excellent running partners. ACDs are true-blue loyal, famously smart, tenacious, ever alert, and may be wary of strangers. If an ACD isn't challenged, it easily becomes bored and may get into mischief. It is recommended that ACD owners participate with these versatile dogs in some work, sport, or regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically fit.

Sweet Release

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see…. By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child…1

This week during our nightly reading, my daughter and I read a book that took place in the forests of Australia. We came upon a traumatic scene where a kangaroo and her joey became prey to a pack of dingoes. The kangaroo ran and hopped as high and as fast as she could, but her offspring, safely nuzzled in her pouch, weighed her down. In these cases, a kangaroo will drop her baby and allow the predator to continue to seize her, while giving herself and her child their best chance of survival; knowing that she might not ever see him again! As I read this scene, I couldn't help but feel sadness, for both the mother and child, and the way life separated them so cruelly.

Like this baby kangaroo, Moses was also cruelly separated from his mother, Jocabed. When Pharaoh pursued the death of all the Hebrew male babies, Jocabed had no choice but to drop her child in a river to give him his best chance. What anguish she must have felt in doing so! Yet, at the same time, she trusted God with her whole heart and when she released her child, Jocabed put him right into the Lord's hands!

While our children are young, we hold them tightly when we can, we watch their steps and shield them from harm. As they grow, we slowly begin to let go of their hands and allow them to walk on their own, protectively watching at a close distance. Soon, the day comes for us to "drop" them out of our care and into the wild and unprotected big world. On this day, we entrust our children to the Lord, and we can trust that He will put exactly who they need in their path, from teachers, to supervisors, and even friends. We can trust that God has a perfect plan for our children that is far better than any plan we might have had for them. God created them for a purpose, and he will see it fulfilled in His time. And although it is hard to imagine, we can trust that God loves our children more than we ever could!

Releasing our children takes great faith, whether you are a new mother on the first day of school or a seasoned mother releasing her child to adulthood. Trusting that God is faithful and has a beautiful plan for our children allows us the courage to face the sweet release into His hands.

Suggested Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, you, better than anyone, know how hard it is to release your child into the world. I trust in you to help me release my children knowing that you will be there right beside them. Thank you for your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Hebrews 11:1, 23 (NIV).

Denying Participating

It's not exactly fun playing the worst game.  But the winners get to choose if there’s another round.  The only admirable people in politics are those who participate because they hate it.  Joining is a noble act for those who oppose the competition.

Subversion increases productivity by bringing down a shady operation that quasi-illegally bosses humans who did nothing wrong aside from possessing the nerve to be born.  A tiresome chore like guarding a baby farm from dingos is nonetheless necessary to prevent catastrophic results.  Unlike wild animals, pushy politicians can’t blame nature.

The turf war would be a lot more tolerable if only those who choose membership participated in grappling.  A gangster mentality comes naturally to politicians who are essentially members of a crime family.  The difference is the mob maintains some honorable standards.  Politics doesn’t resemble the John Wick universe where those who’ve joined only target each other: we’re all pursued.

The side that cheats by getting the government on its side demands you obey rules invented this morning.  Pretending its rulings are moral by calling them legally binding is as clever as fans get.

One ideology drags everyone in.  Intimately involving politics with every life aspect isn’t nearly as romantic as promised by our seducers.

The contest is afoot whether or not anyone chooses to field a team.  All are losing.  The results of incessant competition are everywhere you turn.  You may have noticed the boarded-up windows and lurking plunderers.

Occupying the economy has not inspired collaboration.  Being forced to enroll in crummy insurance out of mandatory compassion isn’t as loving as projected.  If you thought flagging down a doctor took awhile, check out the wait times to charge a car to drive a short jaunt.  Pretend to save Earth by making humans idle while they wait for coal to do its work.

Democrats have succeeded in uniting everyone in poverty.  Such common ground is why the vibe feels so pleasant as of late.  It’s not like you have a choice.  All members are expected to concur with their warping of society.  Making everything comply is very tolerant, particularly the way they attempt to ruin everyone who dares dissent.

Hockey players warming up offer the perfect culture war front for Maoist lunatics.  The shame-based debate over pride jerseys is an attempt to demonstrate there’s nowhere free of politics.  Woke maniacs draft others to wear their uniforms.  It’s the wrong kind of impressment.

The utterly tolerant don’t want any foes for the same reason they oppose competition.  Creating acceptance by demonizing questioning is like thinking a lack of accountability is what lowers prices while raising quality.

Changing the contest’s boundaries to suit whatever absurd whim they deem scientific is what constitutes rational behavior.  Knowing what you’re allowed to say varies by the moment, which is how we keep English interesting.  J.K. Rowling refuses to believe magic applies to gender.  New Protestants consider it blasphemous, as she wrote their Bible.  I’m starting to suspect she didn’t even create Voldemort with Trump in mind.

Seeking emancipation should be an easy case to make.  Unfortunately, the judges are related to the parents.  Treating politicians as parents keeps citizens as juveniles.  Our guardians are deadbeat drunks who spent our retainer money on roulette.  They’d bet our birthdate if they could remember it.  Solutions that cause problems involve never letting you being left alone.

Join the side who entered the fray because they hate it.  The government losing would tally a victory for humanity.  Good guys shouldn’t have to fight relentlessly to not be bothered, as it defeats the purpose.  But why watch all those superhero movies if not to learn that battling villainy is a pain in the hind that is nevertheless necessary?

Futilely attempting to pay bills takes up enough of the day that exhausted participants can’t appreciate the inflicted irony.  We admire those who think the Constitution’s limits are sort of legally binding.  Boundaries might be established for wise reasons.  Containing a beast that wanders as it pleases is the best way to preserve the environment.  You really should care about the Earth.

Playing a sport they hate embodies selflessness.  The market would indicate the game should go extinct like the BlackBerry.  But unopposed statists will just run up the score.  This pastime is more frustrating than soccer, in part because you’re required to watch.

Respecting those who want to commandeer their decisions is a popular political trend for dim lunatics who think Joe Biden makes them rich by printing currency to order.  Humanity’s managers certainly won’t stop at interfering with cultists who beg for virtual incarceration.

Resisters are targeted for special attention by caring federal agents.  Ingrates should appreciate the care.  Adoring the legislative process is as hideous an affectation as admiring a politician.  Eagerly tracking election results is the next side of madness.

Fighting on behalf of uninterested parties is the burden of those who want to keep it that way.  Decent Americans are tired of investing so much energy in a contest that is decidedly joyous.  Dismantling an overreaching government is unfair on account of how competitors are also referees.  Biden can’t call or play a fair game, which makes him his side’s ideal competitor.

ww1 au, they're all anzacs (so australian/nz soldiers) and it's written in an epistolary style, so as letters sent by each of the links to people back home over the course of a month or so, during 1916 in the leadup to the battle of fromelles (aka australia's first big battle in france post-gallipoli). it's partially because it gives me some interesting characterisations to work with (eg sky being from the middle class while hyrule is from the working class, four living in sydney vs wild living in woop woop, etc), and partially because the social developments during that period are fascinating to me; the everyday aspects of life in the trenches is both interesting and incredibly bleak, and ww1 specifically is such a massive part of australian history and I want to write more about it in the future, so this is where i'm starting! the links also all have,,,other names (like, different first names related to their nickname)

the full list of everyone's backgrounds:

Sky; engaged to Sun, lived in Melbourne pretty close to her and was studying maths at university. wants to become a pilot after he saw a plane for the first time. he grew up in the blue mountains but moved to melbourne when he was around ~13, which is when he met sun. enlisted during the gallipoli campaign but didn't go to gallipoli. got his nickname from the plane thing.

Time: married to Malon, they live in rural NSW and own a small-ish property, which malon is maintaining with her family's help. he enlisted around the same time sky did. the unit's resident Dad. He's the oldest in the unit. got his nickname based off the fact that he...somehow has a pocket watch that still works??? no one knows how tho. it's just. there. he also plays like six instruments and has a nice bass voice.

Warriors/Wars: lived in regional-ish victoria (geelong), was regular army. was in gallipoli, he's the highest rank of the unit (captain). got a promotion as he was the only surviving member of his last unit (at gallipoli). at this point, he just really wants to go home. has an 'understanding' with sheik but no one,,,really gets whats going on with them. got his name because, well...he's a soldier

Legend: lived in sydney. bastard child, sister of his zelda (fable, I think? the zeldas are harder to keep track of). he's...chill. wasn't at gallipoli but he's also, like, been a soldier longer than most of them, coz he signed up in 1914. got his name coz he somehow managed to sneak a small book of greek myths (it was actually a copy of the illiad) to the front. how? no one knows.

Four: lived in Adelaide, worked in a factory as an engineer, pretty chill. got his name coz he keeps complaining about having four siblings. the unit's resident stem kid. about 19, shorter than everyone.

Wind: lived in Cairns, helped out on fishing boats, lied about his age to enlist (is 15 turning 16 in july, the fic starts in early june). got his nickname because he was born in wellington, nz, which is famously windy. also because of the fishing thing. has a kiwi accent. writes to his sister but also sorta to tetra (and by that I mean that he,,,leaves it in the postscript)

Twilight: farm hand, grew up in rural nsw and worked on time's farm before he enlisted. was in gallipoli but not for as long as the others who were there. got his nickname bc one day they got leave and he made them watch the sunset and said some Sappy Stuff. he's good with animals and keeps talking about how he wanted to join the cavalry. Also had a dog back home named Wolfie that is definitely not part dingo. Writes to Midna, who's his childhood friend and also...sort of sister? he's her father's ward, before he left to work.

Hyrule: grew up in (modern) Melbourne (for anyone curious, around where Cragieburn is), wanted to be a doctor but thats expensive so he settled for learning local medicine and helping out where he could. Still better at first aid than anyone else in the unit. Nickname came from a fantasy novel he talked about a lot, apparently given to him by one of his friends (one of his zeldas, idk their nicknames). he's the most recent arrival.

Wild: grew up in rural NSW, around Kosciusko. Nicknamed because he's definitely most knowledgable about actually surviving in the wilderness. was a stablehand/sometimes shearer on his zelda's/flora's family's farm and has a...thing with her. was in gallipoli, didn't have a great time. has facial scars from a fire he was in as a kid. He's used to going hungry. one of the younger ones (signed up when he was 17).

I have been hyperfixating on legend of zelda for like the past week and now im learning embroidery to possibly one day make a botw!link cosplay help me its getting too strong

then I found linked universe and help now im writing a historical au for it

She has been kept on a fucking chain virtually her entire life. She lives 20 minutes from me, and was brought there by the hunter who killed her family when she was three weeks old. He took her home. Yesterday that man called a local dog rescue threatening to shoot her if she’s not taken away “yesterday”. She’s 18 months old, entire, has probably never been socialised or seen a vet and there’s mange on the property - but she’s friendly. Somehow they are friendly after all this shit. I was organising to do an assessment and trying to find somewhere for her, when one of the rescues called me back to say she’s being picked up at 5am to be driven to Victoria to a dingo sanctuary. Not the one that everyone knows that is a glorified puppy mill. The lady called by the owner contacted them but hung up when the ‘sanctuary’ owner said she could breed from her. No surprises there. Thank fuck she’s not going there. I don’t know everything yet, but it’s a damn miracle she’s going to be ok. Not many get this lucky. If you can call it that.

[argumate]

huh never really thought of the dingo as "Australia's apex predator" but I guess aside from humans, yeah.

A Tasmanian devil. Conservationists have found seven devils born inside a fenced 1,000-acre wildlife preserve in mainland Australia.Credit...Aussie Ark, via Agence France-Presse — Getty Images

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

Pink, hairless, deaf and blind, the roughly month-old joeys were but the size of a shelled peanut.

Yet they were a momentous discovery for the conservationists who had set off across a dense eucalyptus forest in the dawn mist in hopes of finding them. About 3,000 years after Tasmanian devils were wiped out on the Australian mainland, seven babies were born earlier this month on the continent in their natural terrain.

“It was very moving,” said Tim Faulkner, the president of Aussie Ark, the conservation group that has been leading attempts to re-establish populations of the devils, long after they were eliminated on the mainland, most likely by wild Australian dogs, known as dingoes.

Like the devils themselves, Mr. Faulkner said, the project is still in its infancy. It remains unclear how the animals would fare outside the fenced 1,000-acre wildlife preserve where they were born. But, he added, the first step was for the devils “to breed and survive, and they did.”

The baby devils, found in their mothers’ pouches, are a promising sign as conservationists contend with a steep decline in the animals’ numbers in the only place where they exist in the wild: the island of Tasmania, south of mainland Australia.

Devils there are being ravaged by a contagious facial cancer that has slashed the population by more than 90 percent. “It’s really aggressive,” Mr. Faulkner said. “Their future is really uncertain.”

For decades, scientists have been trying to save the devils by developing vaccines, studying genetic variations that make some of the animals resilient to the cancer, and trying to breed a population of uninfected creatures on the mainland.

If the devils were ever to take root again on mainland Australia, the benefits could go beyond rescuing the endangered animals. Conservationists say there is evidence that the Tasmanian devil, a carnivorous marsupial with a powerful bite, is effective at reducing feral cats and perhaps even foxes, both of which have decimated Australia’s native flora and fauna.

Sydney playlist

And the winner is Si-da-nee! Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra, NSW...ah! The music from this part of the world is so good it is to be believed.

Since I did my ridiculous Cat-Marauders thing, I am curious - what animal would you associate most with each Alt-Marauder? I don't mean what animal they would most like as a pet, more like, what animal would be their Harry Potter Animagus form? Don't feel obliged to answer if you don't have any ideas (or just don't feel like it).

AAAH I love this question SO MUCH!! Thank you so much for sending it!! SHAW The animal that I MOST associate with Shaw is big black bulls, to a lesser degree bears and black draft horses. A quiz said his Patronus was a black stallion, and another quiz said his daemon was a kingsnake. I like the bull option best though, horses are too pretty and timid, even the big hefty draft horses are just too TAME even though they’re hardworkers, and a snake seems too...small and subtle. The bull has the connotation of hard work, because oxen, but it’s also terrifying and aggressive and it’s a big bulky creature. (I would also consider a honey badger as his daemon if they weren’t such a meme) I also think he DEFINITELY has the most in common with a hamster when it comes to actual animal behavior, hamsters are greedy hoarders and aggressive if approached and they’re hermits who are solitary but also really like to fuck, but if I were gonna say what animal I’d make him...big black bull, yeah. CLAUDINE Claudine visually reminds me of a white mink or ermine, and they’re pretty scary in terms of behavior too---they’re cute as hell but they’re predators. Their weasel-like appearance also connotates being clever, sneaky, and hard to get a bead. Also, white in general for lab animals, I thought your take on her as a cat that had medical subject was a great one, that was really clever! PYRO Honestly being an asshole cat fits him so well? Like that nailed him for me! But I also like the idea of small, clever yet dumbass, morally ambiguous critters like foxes and jackals for him? Of course they’re not actually morally ambiguous they’re just animals but speaking from a symbolic/human cultural viewpoint. Actually,  speaking of canines, dingos! They’re Australian, they’re “criminals” and “outlaws” in their own way in the wild because they’re seen as sheep-killers and people hate them, but they’re also good to their own as pack animals.  They’re very chaotic and destructive as pets, much like keeping pet foxes, but they’re also not evil animals at all. Like look at them, they’re good boys, they’re just chaotic assholes. Or maybe a ferret but I don’t think even he’s enough of a chaotic klepto for that! SHINOBI I made his daemon a monkey based around Japanese symbolism, but also the “small morally-grey stupid-yet-smart canine figures” stuff, definitely could see him as a derpy little fox or jackal too. Maybe one of those little dogs who thinks its huge XD MADELYNE My first thought was a parrot or something similar, they’re so super sassy and willful and they fly but are also grounded in literal ways because tame ones will usually have clipped wings. Then, it hit me. Hyena! Hyenas are pack animals, they’re family-oriented, and they’re also matriarchal, they’re a strong woman figure. They’re born with their eyes open unlike most mammals, reading for anything, much like how Maddie was “born” as an adult. They’re tough as nails like she is, because they have to hunt down very dangerous prey and compete with lions in an inhospitable environment. And speaking of lions, everyone always COMPARES them to lions, and UNFAVORABLY so. Everyone also always thinks they’re dogs. They’re unfairly demonized and seen as anything from disgusting cowardly scavengers to LITERALLY being demonic.  So like Maddie, they’re misunderstood, demonized strong-woman figures who are tough as hell but also not bad at all even if everyone THINKS they are and keeps comparing them to the “good” animals. HAVEN Her daemon is a cow, her patronus is a unicorn. I often associate her with little deer, though she’s really not slender/dainty enough to BE one, I dont think whales because huge but vegetarian, and unlike many herbivores that can actually be quite hostile, they’re gentle giants, don’t want to hurt other animals and actually will try to deliberately avoid it, and carry a lot of parasites, though not the kind harmful to them (unlike poor Haven) I’d definitely pick a cow, which is funny because I’d pick a bull for Sebastian, just for totally different reasons. I guess it’s like how I associate them both strongly with the element of earth, just opposite aspects (warm earth mother figure, nurturing, growth, soil, flowers, etc vs cold underground, stones, wealth, steadfast, power, etc.)

[sidetongue]

Elaborate on the dingos please?

One was being kept as a pet but kept escaping so ended up at the shelter and one was found as a wild born and sent to dingo rescue
