040: Interspecies Solidarity
Neopronouns: meh/uto/utosir which follow the same rules as it/its/itself
Replace it with meh Replace its with uto Replace itself with utosir
EX:
"It is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as it gets a fence set up around its yard so the puppy can go outside without it having to walk it. Its uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he's letting it use, since it lost its. It's going to buy toys and train the puppy itself."
Becomes:
"Meh is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as meh gets a fence set up around uto yard so the puppy can go outside without meh having to walk it. Uto uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he's letting meh use, since meh lost uto. Meh's going to buy toys and train the puppy utosir."
= = =
Mahonia could do nothing but stare, frozen in place by indecision and horror.
Bitterroot was cowering practically beneath uto hind legs.
Between meh and uto other two cubs was a boar grizzly, and two wolves. Arnica was further down the hill, more than fifty paces away from meh, with the wolves and their kill between them, and Huckleberry was across from Mahonia, even further away, behind the boar.
Next to the wolves was the carcass of an elk, the reason they'd all converged here, its scent carried on the wind far and wide. Even now the smell was so pungent and strong on the wind, meh couldn't even smell the wolves or the boar.
If Mahonia had smelled them before meh saw them, none of this would be happening.
For a few tense heartbeats that seemed to last years, no one moved. No one seemed to know how to react, everyone was just as surprised as meh was to finding themselves confronted like this.
Mahonia's eyes were riveted on the boar's, and meh could practically see its mind turning through the options, its head turning away from the wolves and the carcass to look back over its shoulder, towards little Huckleberry, who was too terrified to do anything but tremble visibly.
There was nothing Mahonia could do. If meh tried to rescue Huckleberry, Bitterroot would be vulnerable, and the wolves would be able to attack Arnica. And if meh went to Arnica, the boar would tear Huckleberry to pieces.
The next few moments seemed to pass in slow motion.
The boar was still looking over its shoulder at Huckleberry. It started to lift a paw, it was going to turn to charge uto smallest cub.
Meh heard a snarl, from the wolves, and a flash of swift movement.
There was just enough time for uto heart to sink into the earth, despair taking root. Meh was about to lose two of uto cubs, and there was nothing meh could do about it.
Then the movement at the corner of uto eye moved into the center of uto vision, and it solidified itself into the shape of two wolves, snarling as they ran, tails held straight up behind them.
Straight towards Huckleberry and the boar.
Mahonia did the only thing meh could do. “Run!” Meh shouted, shoved Bitterroot forward, and took off running towards Arnica, who was now standing alone beyond the elk carcass, still frozen and staring towards the battle that was about to erupt that would lead to Huckleberry's death.
There was nothing Mahonia could do to save Huckleberry. Not with a boar and two wolves between them. The only thing meh could do was take the two cubs meh could, and run for all their lives.
Arnica was still frozen in place as Mahonia and Bitterroot got closer. “Arnica, run!” Meh roared, charging past with Bitterroot, who ran so close to uto feet it was almost underfoot.
A few horrified heartbeats later Mahonia realized that Arnica wasn't following them, and meh almost stumbled over uto own feet as meh skidded to a stop and spun around, desperate to see what happened.
Snarls and angry bellows were filling the air, but to uto shock, neither of the wolves, nor the boar, were attacking Huckleberry. Both the wolves were snarling at the boar, the black one in front of it, the golden one between it and Huckleberry.
As meh watched, the black one suddenly lunged forward, with all the bravery of an animal five times its size, and snapped its jaws at the stunned boar's muzzle. The golden wolf spun around, and lunged towards Huckleberry. Mahonia's heart leapt back out of the ground and into uto throat, choking meh with renewed terror.
But the wolf did not attack uto cub, not with its teeth. All it did was rush to Huckleberry's side, and shove it away from its mate and the boar, back towards Arnica and Mahonia and Bitterroot.
Huckleberry didn't need any more encouragement. With a terrified yelp, it sprinted away from the fight, past Arnica, and slammed into Mahonia's front legs so hard meh knew meh'd be feeling the bruises the next day, if any of them survived long enough to greet it.
And then, the miracle not over yet, the golden wolf charged the boar to join its mate in snapping and snarling at it as though they had no fear of death, dodging its furious swipes and bites.
Mahonia backed up, Bitterroot and Huckleberry following, and roared, desperate hope flickering to life, “Arnica, run! Run here! Come here!”
But Arnica was too afraid to move, transfixed by the fight.
The golden wolf broke away again, and this time, it ran at Arnica. It barked out a sharp warning noise, and made as though to lunge forwards to attack, but kept its jaws shut the whole time, its tail still raised behind it straight up, showing it was unafraid and unwilling to back down.
Arnica broke free of its paralyzing fear, and began to run towards Mahonia and the rest of uto cubs. The golden wolf turned back to its mate and the boar, who had separated and were circling eachother in rage. Mahonia allowed utosir one last glance over uto shoulder to see the golden wolf standing between uto retreating family and the fight, its stance unrelenting.
Then Arnica was at uto side, then surpassing meh, and together with uto three cubs safe and alive to see another day, the four of them ran until the sounds of first snarling, then victorious howling, faded into the distance.

Okay sorry but I think about this every time stranger wolves come to kill my babies:
I am disappointed Wolf Quest 3 will not let us kill the babies of other packs, because now it just makes it seem like all the other wolves are just cruel for the sake of being cruel.
I understand why they decided to not make that a thing, because it seems really mean and depressing, but I think not letting us do that...like,,,,kinda undermines a few things.
Since killing the babies of other competitors is not a thing we as players can do, we don't get to understand the reasoning behind their actions when they try to do it to us. We will never see the benefits of literally killing off the competition, so it just makes it seem like the competitors are doing it just because they want to be mean.
Killing baby deer also seems mean, until you look at the bigger picture.
Would I, personally, use the feature to kill other pack's babies? No, because It'd feel too mean, lol.
But I think the game should in fact give you that option, so that it's showing the whole picture, and saying, "Yes, these other wolves are in fact trying to kill your babies. But they're not doing it just to make you sad, they're trying to increase the odds of their own babies surviving."
I think giving players the option to enact this role would send a stronger message than quite literally being told, "No, you can't do that, it's too mean".
Because in reality it's not about being mean, it's about survival, and by saying, "This is too mean to let players do", well, it kinda just muddies the whole message that wolves and other wild animals aren't evil, they're just doing their jobs and trying to survive.
IDK, I think making it not an option is just really ironically making wolves seem worse, not better.

I think Wolf Quest 3 should let us eat other predators -- but only if our hunger level is past a certain point. Not liking the taste of other canids doesn't mean they'd choose to starve if there were no other options. Plus it'd be beautifully ironic if I can carry a coyote back to my den after it tries to eat my babies lol.

uploading an Experiment™ to youtube where in Wolf Quest 3 I don't leave the den until I'm starving and don't do anything to help my mate with hunting for the puppies or patrolling territory.
Considering we had 7 puppies, so far only one of them dying from starvation (which confirms that is a thing, lol, it's never gotten this bad even on Accurate mode) is good so far lol.
I did create an extra save file named "I don't have the heart for this" where I'll keep them all alive properly.
and awww that's a cute title card. I don't bother customizing anything when I upload videos lol....

Me: I'm going to chronicle this playthrough of this wolf raising pups in journal format.
Wolf Quest: guess what. guess what. one of your three (3) pups, the one you named after the pack, is going to become sick on their second day of leaving the den. Wow look at their health drop. Look it's still going down! haha
Me: why are you trying to make the people who'll read this thing cry in the first few pages.

Vine - Male - 6lbs Tree - Female - 7.1lbs Creeper - Male - 6.3lbs Ivory (sick) - Female - 6.1lbs Twine - Male - 6.1lbs Shrub - Female - 4.4lbs
Poor Ivory got sick before she was even a whole day old. She's already down to 41% HP so she will probably not make it.

(Wolf quest 3)
Okay I'm playing on easy mode and so far I've had to kill four Crevice Lake wolves because despite my territory being big enough, these idiots keep coming in and trying to kill my babies
Edit: I ended up killing eleven of them before we got to the Endless Summer quest.

Wolf Quest 3 tip #0
There are two (2) reasons why an elk will stand its ground against you:
It has very high health and is not intimidated by you
It has extremely low health and is hoping you won't notice
How to tell the difference without biting?
Lunge forward and run circles around them to stress them out a bit. Keep one finger on a sideways arrow key to help avoid being kicked, never run directly straight at them until you're ready to bite them.
An elk with high health might charge forward, or lift one leg to kick at you a little bit.
An elk with low health will rear up on its hind legs to lash out. It's very dramatic. It's very intimidating. They want you to be intimidated so you don't realize they're barely standing.
Any time you approachan elk and it rears up on its hind legs to kick with both front legs, it's got low health. Go for that one.
When elk are already running, circle the herd a few times and look for those that are moving the slowest. They won't always immediately be at the back if the started out at the front. Wounded elk lose stamina faster than those with high health, and run slower.
Elk with extremely low health will in fact stop running if you get close enough and do the aforementioned rearing up on their hind legs to try and kick you. If an elk stops running to kick you, that means they've got super low health.
