Changing the "Motherly" pose name

Changing the "Motherly" pose name

Long in short, some people don't like the new pose name.

As a transmasc nonbinary person, I personally don't care one way or another for it. I like the pose, I use it. But some people just don't like it so...maybe something else? I think the pose just makes the wolf look a little on the tired side, or just waking up or even just a more relaxed pose so I don't even know if Nurturing or Parental as some people suggest would go with it.

I think that it should just be called "Nesting" for actual pregnant females and completely renamed to something unrelated to nesting. 		Phoenix

support for this! since motherly feels a bit out of place. personally not a fan of parental though. a list of some other name ideas:

caretaker
guardian
nurturer/nurturing
protective
pupsitter or sitter [i like this one most i think?]
restful/resting

I dunno about protective given its not really a protective pose(imo). However I do like restful or pupsitter! 		Phoenix

Sorry but I have to oppose, I think that the name suits the pose perfectly. I really wouldn't have a problem with it if it was changed, but to me it's just not a necessary change. 		kirb

full support, i came back after a long break and was initially confused by the name, wondering if it was somehow a female only pose nothing about it really seems inherently "motherly" anyway. i like resting, that seems a lot more fitting imo! and lets be real, a nested and about-to-give-birth wolf would be "resting" just as much as they might be "motherly".

Gonna have to oppose, really like the motherly name. But if wolvden wish to change it, I would suggest Nested or Tired.

Nurturing/parental/guardian does not seem to fit the pose much. I have also heard another suggest Bashful actually which actually could work with the pose well

-Suggested Names:
Nested
Tired
Bashful

Tired fits it really well! I can definitely see where it looks like the wolf is tired. We actually were talking a bit in the GH discord when it came out how the wolves look so depressed / tired in that pose, and someone said "I would be too if I had to pupsit while that pregnant" 		Phoenix
