Day 22 - 2/21/2021 - Yesterday was the day of sicknesses. Maagwi got an infection that I didn't bother to cure cause I was sick to bastard death of all of it. Let it fester for a while you little monster boy - Made some plans to pick up a mela carrier :) very excited about her. I'll link her when she's weaned and in my hands. - Anodyne aged up into an adult today! I love this boy so much - Extotia and Tyka's litter was weaned today. Now I gotta start making concrete plans about which ones to keep. Inei is the first choice, but I also really like Polyphoe and Sagitise for their quartz bases. They would also be easier to breed up :/ Considering Tyka's in his last few months (I am genuinely, genuinely sad about this. Big baby hours) this is the last chance to carry on his dynasty. I think I'll keep those three under adolescence and then decide what to do. It's not like I have any shortage of food or entertainment items for them. How fitting for Tyka's last litter to be so contentious >.> - Elan may be staying for a long time. Her cute name and adorable face are doing things to my heart. - I don't know what to do with Anodyne yet, but Elan's personality will fit in perfectly with the Half-Moon hunters, so off she goes - Pise and Petraella are up on the TC - I picked up another NBW yesterday after Elan. She's pretty as heck also, but I won't be keeping her. TC she goes after a brief reprise at Shiawase :) - Did I mention Rupina made it to level 11 yesterday? Of course I didn't - Petrallea was bought out :) Whatever her fate may be, just know she lived a happy puphood - Pise was bought out shortly after, to be chased. Based on their fates tomorrow, I may write up some reactionary lore about the litter 👀 - Love seeing ppl buy out my 1-use-for-questing-offer-anything trades and then list them for 15 SC higher to turn a measly profit lol. Scummy. Is the 15 SC that important to you? - I literally don't know how to set those trades up anymore without people taking advantage of them. God this pisses me off |

Day 23 - 2/23/2021 - First day of summer! My critter trail chances are back down to 90% :( - oh frick,,, oh frick I woke up to see a bump by the other OG, 🐺, who writes Jackdaw's Flight, another thread I have coincidentally scoured inside and out for many hours of free entertainment. Ugh just <33 !!!! The care and time they put into their lore is just spectacular. End of love letter - I got a bone recipe yesterday so I can finally make use of my many, many stacks of nasty old bones. Gave the first to Mr. Robot, of course. I've got like 5 more now I'm sitting on, wondering who to deck out - Gotta nest Ms. Poly today - Pise was chased, but Petrallea was not! Looks like maybe she'll be staying for a while at her new home? She's got a pupsitter on her, so I guess we'll see :^) - Gave a bone to Bela and Arphid too - Got some lovely art of Rupy from bunni! - I also finally set a pfp from this thread cause I don't think I've ever expressed it before but I absolutely love that little trash monster. He reminds me of my cat in that picture :^) I don't trust him one bit - Writing a new lore entry now, but I may need to split it up into 2 parts if I can't reach a satisfying conclusion. It would be much easier to write new lore entries if I defined some actual conflict for the pack lol - Found 0 mustelids today for the snake quest until just a moment ago, and got mustelid claws from the first battle :) - Kitty was kind enough to craft some arnica crowns for me, so now Rupy, Fhionne, Elan, Frenesi, and Gehenna are touting gorgeous yellow wreaths! - Toho and Sagitise got bones too - I like the idea of Sagitise carrying around an oversized bone in her little mouth to subvert people's expectations of her being a weakly runt. She can hardly keep her head upright but gods be damned if anyone was going to tell her otherwise - Pfft Elan's flower crown was definitely a gift from Rupina,,, more on that later - Frenesi wanted a crown after she saw Fhionne donning one and demanded Fhionne teach her how to make it - Now Fhionne's teaching a mini-class on how to make flower crowns to the Skirt residents and Rupy wanders over and happens to make one or two for no apparent reason (pfffttt sure...) - Terrine makes a crown to give to Gehenna cause it would pop out wonderfully against her fur, but refrains from making herself one cause she doesn't think it would suit her |

Day 24 - 2/24/2021 - Phew, okay, finally getting to today's entry - Poly's pups were born today. This litter's name theme is poisonous flowers/flower-looking-plants: the obnoxious female Drosera, the adventurous male Drakaea, the bossy female Rafflesia, the humble male Monkshood, and the sociable male Titan Arum. I'll need to look at them a bit more before I pick a favorite, but they look similar for the most part, except for Titan Arum. - Arphid's protecting Drosera and Drakaea, Fhionne's on Monkshood, Rafflesia, and Titan Arum - Pretty Nasiphe and Tohopko aged into adols today - Gotta nest Rupina today - Terrine's aging into adult tomorrow, coincidentally right when her half-siblings are going to be delivered :) Wonder how she'll like them - Worked on lore for a few hours on and off yesterday, so I should have a post up today or tomorrow - Oh boy, I think I'm gonna stop expanding den slots for a while once I reach 20. I want the pack to be more generational for lore's sake too (with rare exceptions) so I might cull some of the inbred wolves in my pack. I don't really care about inbreeding, but that rule would certainly force me to limit the number of wolves I keep. In my pack, Polyantha, Naadirr, Ladouceur, and Anodyne are inbred. Anodyne is gonna be the most difficult to let go :( it might take me a while to pluck up the courage. Granted, these are long-term goals, so it might be a while before I get rid of any of them. Their deaths will make excellent plot devices, though, if need be 😳 |

Day 25 - 2/25/2021 - 1st year anniversary of Shiawase! - Sorry for pupposting 2 days in a row, but it's worth it, trust me. Rupy's litter is giving me heart palpitations - It was only a two pup litter, both males, but they are cute as a goddamn button here. - Tuco was the firstborn, Dravite base and 5M. Angel Eyes was the secondborn, cocoa base and 6M. Angel Eyes is my favorite of this litter but I'm in love with them both and am likely going to be keeping them both 🥺 - Terrine grew up into a lovely young lady today :) She's taking up pupsitting her new half-siblings. Sad to see her leave the Skirt though - The mel carrier I was talking about before was weaned today :^) Take a look at her! - Fhionne and Terrine are both in heat today :/ I'm rethinking breeding Terrine up for markings since I love the boys Rupy just had so much. She might just be the cool, single aunt all her life. Idk - Had Fhionne try with Valentino - Changed the title from "clan" to "pack" to avoid confusion with the clubs in this subforum - RIP September :( - Found a fox eye applicator just now, but it takes an absurd amount of ingredients wow - ugh now that I think about it there's so much shit I need to include in lore posts now 🙄 Terrine's transition into adulthood, Poe adjusting to his new role as breeding male while having such a shit personality, Rupina's new litter and the purpose for it, Poly's upcoming departure from Shiawase and the culling of her pups, Komorebi's fate, new pup Arwynardha being a mel carrier, sensitive Fhionne's found romance outside of the pack (and her resulting puppies), etc. etc. I have got my work cut out for me - Polyantha has gotten an open wound from hunts three days in a row. I can't say I'll be torn up when she gets yeeted - OMG! Rupy's 2 today, so that means it's the 1st year anniversary of the pack! Habby :) |

Day 26 - 2/26/2021 - What is with the disgustingly prevalent sicknesses hitting me these last few days. I'm not even documenting them because I have wolves getting sick multiple times a day 🙄 - May or may not have gotten Terrine pregnant contrary to what I said literal hours before :x - I gotta sate my curiosity somehow! Also this little mishap may have some neat lore consequences if I play it right. She bred to Poe, the breeding male, cause he's free for me, but I also kinda wanted to explore Terrine's teenage fascination with him once they were grown. I wonder how complex those feelings would have gotten, considering her brother has been gone for a while and she still half-blames Poe for it (subconsciously) - I'm not gonna nest Terrine when she gets close to her due date to see what happens. And for the heartbreaking lore if some puppies don't make it. Need to stack up that motive for Terrine - Petrealla being neglected af, ready to net me some juicy lore deets :o - Rupy is a really difficult character for me to write :x - What am I gonna do about Cold Teeth? It would be cool if I could get another pack to play this invisible beast, but it seems everyone's already got a good idea of what they want their pack to be. I could either make it another division of wolves in my den tab (preemptively marked Cold Teeth lmao), or just create fake wolves similar to the way 🐺 did it in their story. Hmm - The next lore entry is ending up hella mellow. I swear the music I listen to literally changes the direction of the scene I wanna write. It was meant to be a revealing, romantic scene that fleshed out the character dynamics within the pack but now it's just ending up as a disgustingly introspective and vague fireside chillout lmao - My god it is SO difficult to write a fair harem dynamic. Every romantic scene I write is so colored by the romance stories I used to read as a child and teen that I literally do not know how to write believable polygamy. Every situation I come up with makes it seem as if the romantic interest in question is Rupy's One True Love, when in reality, I feel that she'd be a lot less swayed by emotional and romantic interests than she is currently. It makes sense cause she's still very young and only a year into alpha duties, but a lot of the early romance I want to write for her makes it seem as if it would be a long, lasting love. And I know its not. Even the Elan infatuation, like, I love Elan and Rupina feels very strongly about her now, but I don't know how to write the gradual decrease in emotional potency in a way that isn't the "falling out of love" trope. I'm playing around with it now in advance in the doc I have, but my respect for ye emperors of olde has risen greatly. Isn't it fun reading my ramblings? Lmfao the future of the pack is as much of a mystery to me as it is anyone. - Close as hell to a bunch of milestones dog - - Sunstone party is 3% of of 100% synergy - on an off note I feel likey they've been at ~90% synergy for like weeks now and it makes me wonder how the math is done. Each member is nearly maxed out in their category minus Maagwi who's almost there - So close to discovering the swamp - Met another BEAUTIFUL boy - here - omg |

Day 27 - 2/27/2021 - Start of the first lunar event! This is incredibly fun and rewarding. I love how they didn't make it near impossible to get the festival currency, and the goal of getting the Selene base seems attainable. I don't like it that much though :x but I gotta get it if I ever want an alien wolf and for completion's sake. Its so hard not to burn all my tears on the equippables though omfg - I seriously love the openness of lore implications. It'll fit right in with my pack's mystical persuasions and I'm excited to write out ways to incorporate it - The pt.2 lore post is done, I just need to edit it. Which I hate - Petrallea is still alive and kicking 🙄 - Cupra and Frenesi became adols today! Total cutie pies. Might relist Cupra now that he's an adol, but theres a watcher on his trade :/ what to do - Freaking goddess Nelthyen bought out Cupra's trade ;;; god I feel so strongly about this bitch;;;; Nelth you go, put him through hell - Lmfao @ Nelthyen's bio for Cupra: "Good, you survived puphood. Now can you pass being a adol in Fierce Grace? Probably." - I F345CKING LOST my FIRST EVER CHASED WOLF and my heart hurts. He was beautiful. I was ready to give him a home. But I wasn't impressive enough |

Day 28 - 2/28/2021 - Nested Fhionne, leaving Terrine unnested as planned - We discovered the swamp first thing this morning :^) - Rupina just got beat to shit by a level 3 red fox and gained an infection from the incident. :^( oh how embarrassing - Extotia finally reached 100 herbalist proficiency - Everyone in Sunstone party has 100 proficiency in their roles and they just reached 100 synergy today also! Kinda dreading rearranging the party when I do that purging I was talking about - Discovered the tundra! |

Day 29 - 3/1/2021 - First day of fall! - Today's an eventful rollover - Polyantha's litter has been weaned. I'm gonna be a hardass this time and only keep 1 pup like I was supposed to. And the chosen candidate is.... Rafflesia! Strictly based on her looks. Goodbye, Drakaea, Drosera, Monkshood, and Titan Arum. To the TC you go - A bit sad to let go of Drakaea since Nocturne is one of my favorite T2 bases, but I don't have any plans for him and it more difficult to breed him up since he's a male. Such is life - Inei, Polyphoe, and Sagistise became adols today :) not actually gonna be a hardass about this litter since they are special, but I'll probably need to get rid of another one before they age up so I don't run out of room. Hurts that it's likely to be Inei :( I wish there was more of an incentive to keep male pups. Then again, I'll be getting the pair breeding quest tomorrow. I guess we'll see - Gehenna aged up into an adult! God she looks so so pretty. Speaking of the pair breeding quest, she and Skaen are definitely going to be first. I don't know what kinda pups they'll make but I hope they look decent - Pupposting time! Got two litters delivered today, but granted they are a little underwhelming. I think I used up all my luck with Rupy's second litter. - Fhionne gave birth to two puppies: Hallothyn, the keen female, and Rinwal, the trusting male. - Terrine gave birth to 3 puppies, but because she wasn't nested, only one survived. Girl how tragic. Lmao I used this instance as a way to test out the mortality rate of unnested pups but I kinda feel bad for Terrine's character because she always seems to get the short end of the stick. Her brother runs away, her parents are ambivalent to her, she finally has a chance to create a family of her own with her childhood companion, and only 1 pup survives. Terrine, you need a vacation. - Ahem, Terrine's one surviving puppy: Sarid, the dishonest male. Terrine named him the word for "survivor", not only because he was the only surviving puppy in her tragic litter, but because she hopes he'll pull through the toughest times just like she did. - Event stuff! I find it so so tiring to constantly heal after every Lunar battle, so I've kinda given up on maximizing my tears and I'll just focus mostly on the random events. I got enough for the eye applicator, so I bought it before I changed my mind :) I think I'm gonna give up on the base since I'm not that big of a fan of it in the first place. So now that I've got the eyes, I'm gonna work on collecting all the gorgeous equippables, starting with the lunar orb stuff - Gehenna and Elan are in heat today. Not thinking of breeding either of them just yet. - Arwyn is donning the lunar orb headband and butterfly companion :) lmao it looks almost too big for her head - Gonna write up some short fall festival lore cause that's always fun - All Poly's pups were bought. Monkshood, Drakaea, and Drosera were bought to chase, but Titan Arum's fate is still up in the air. Hard to tell if he'll be a keeper or not :) |
