With all easily achievable 9 Drakkar achievements, Shadow in the Ice Mastery would have at least been tolerable.

"Do each and every event 20 times" and "Do every puzzle 3 times" really feels like "Guys, we separated Drakkar chievos, but really have nothing else left in this tab now" tier busyword..

Mom finally back, this time after 6.5h hunting outside, longest yet once more

While didn't directly affect mom yet, massive improvement in dad's behavior tonight. Spent huge time in nest, wasnt sleeping/uninterested like before, nest scraping, actively calling mom for once.

Hopeful for December 🙏🤞

Interestingly, while mom was out hunting today, dad returned and for the first time, he was curiously checking out the nest and nest scraping for the first time.

Albeit late, his cycle seems to be finally kicking in, gives hope for December.

Now we need mom back, has been out hunting 5h again 🥹

Precious mom, I really keep my fingers crossed for their December.

For now, until dad's switch is actually flipped, the most I can hope for is that she enjoys her calming winter sunbathing and that dad increases his time in the nest and starts bonding again.

Spent 5,5 hours hunting last night, longest ever, but seems like she has no intention to abandon the nest and has faith in dad owl to pick up the slouch in December for a second try, like last year.

Not exactly "bonding time" but this night was also the longest the duo spent together, about an hour

Fingers crossed. She is patient, resilient and strong. The male just has to get in cycle himself.

Professor & attendants say the male was an anomaly since his arrival over a year ago, causing the previous resident female to abandon nest in November, then having a successful full clutch with new (current) mom in December.

They say mom still has belief in him. If she tolerates until December...

Well, the eggs were confirmed abandoned yesterday already but last night was scary.

Everyone assumed after 4 hours gone from the nest at night, that she finally abandoned the nest as well, and had every right to.

It was magical to still see her come back, was worth it to stay until 5am 🥹

Kinda happy I lived with this as far back as I can remember alongside being a competitive sportsman. Got a good feel for what I can physically handle.

Got enough reserve for a decent jumpstart activity 💪

Definitely dangerous to go skiing 70-100km on my own legs without power 🫠

Monday just wait⛷️

They say it's a "time will tell" situation, she may get back up, go back to incubating, basically seeing how it all goes, as the hormonal switch is a process after all, rather than a single switch decision...

Got a call while typing and just over 10 mins later, she's back into upright roosting 😔

After over 5 whole hours of roosting off eggs, she's back to incubating

Honestly, watching all this without any experience and a whole lot of our human biases is genuinely so hard sometimes.

Genuinely glad uni professors (stream owners) dip into chat regularly to inform us and answer questions

Dad was more present last night, but still didn't bring prey, forcing mom to hunt multiple times...

So tired & while she hasn't abandoned the eggs, since she's been standing and sleeping for the past 2 hours, the attendants wonder if she's doing a hormonal switch to self maintenance over eggs 😭

With that clarified, same logic.

If you believe I am, and always was toxic, then for all intents and purposes, that means I was toxic to you.

What I think is irrelevant. I was a bad influence on you from your side and I'm done.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish nothing but the best for you.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

I meant "not believing" section as "What I believe is irrelevant". If you think you are doing better, that's all that matters for your own good.

It's not my business, and you have no reason to convince me of anything.

I have only ever said de-escalating things about you towards our mutuals. And they are very well aware they had to deal with my brunt side (and thankfully took it in understanding ways) as I didn't want anything land on you instead.

People are more caring than you realize.

The times you accused me of such things, I was following you.

3 years ago when we were mutual followers. And up until 14 days ago when I was still following you after you said you were okay to talk to me 9 months ago.

I'm not going to do that to you, to the close ones you directly named, unnamed outer circles, unnamed work or project friends.

Nor am I going to tweet shit *knowing the person will see them* just to delete it the next day. I never stalked your accounts as you accused many times.

Stop asking for names, if the response you'll receive will only cause you to feel more distress, are you literally asking me the join the flock of people who had enough and broke your trust, and spill the shit you said about everyone... Publicly no less?
