*slumps, grumbling* Has anyone ever told you that you're evil, Neri? It wouldn't surprise me, considering how much joy you seem to derive from my suffering and infernal curiosity.

Don't go selling yourself short- your works are absolutely lovely~! Just look at Nakax, his likes, and popularity as a stud, or the amount of likes this guardian of yours has. Absolutely phenomenal work.

Whoops! My bad, covered with lace, not converse brindle, got it. *nods firmly* Though thinking about the time and effort such a guardian would take... I can certainly see why you were playing possum at the thought.

have you ever looked at my avatar? i always like the bad boys, not without a reason~

ooooh now i'm in heaven~ *hugs you to death*

XD you see, hard enough to play possum~ but now with your idea i would love to do this breeding~

I've seen it, I just don't have a clue as to what anime he's from, nor what character he is. Thus, I was unaware he was a bad boy.

*squeaks, slowly turning blue before passing out from lack of oxygen*

... Of course you say this after I've already stated that I likely wouldn't indulge myself with such a foal, at least not for a while... And yet it's about the right time of year for spiders and their webs, and if you actually want to do it... Drat it, Neri, now I'm actually considering the possibility. I'd probably be in the clear to order such a breeding, considering the order for this foal was placed about three weeks ago, and the cooldown time is two weeks between orders... Unless Soph was talking about two weeks between the egg being created and the next order... In which case I'd be able to place an order the day just before Halloween... *mumbles a bit, silently debating*

it's hibari kyouya from reborn ^^

*begins reanimating*

uuuuuh~ i want it! i want it! xD but i don't know if soph means after ordering or after giving birth, i think it's after giving birth if we want to see it as a reality fact. uuuh~ i already did a little halloween breeding with one chrysaora~ a little halloween breeding with GoS would be great too~

*slinks off to watch an episode or two... or a few, comes back incredibly amused* I will bite you to death~? *snickers* I've actually said something quite similar before, to pets past and present, my father, and younger brother when they're being aggravating- just exclude the "to death" portion of that threat. This usually results in a poke war between my brother and I, or a sparring match with my father. Plus, I'm quite fond of my father's wooden tonfas, and have a pair of metal fighting fans that I'll use. I'm rather tense and uncomfortable around crowds, and much prefer peace, quiet, and solitude, though animals of all sorts are perfectly fine. Not exactly the same, but the similarities are rather amusing, at least in my opinion.

*coughs, blinking dazedly up at the ceiling* I'm okay~ I'm okay~

*grins* You've got it, whenever I do end up posting the order for the foal~ Think you can do anything with Lace and Bae? Bae would be heterogenous for white, considering his sire didn't have the gene, so you could do either a white foal, or... well, depending upon the genotypes, a black, bay, or chestnut foal, if you'd rather not argue with white spider webs on a white guardian. Said spooky markings being a throwback to Nakax? *shrugs* Whatever the case, you'll have free rein on this one.

*glances back at main thread, tracking down the post about said rule*

2. A period of time between which you can order GoS breedings has been set. This new rule allows you only to order a new breeding once every 2 weeks. This is especially set so you can enjoy your new foal quite a time before ordering a new addition to your herd.

Maybe? *bites lip* I'll message Soph after I post this and see if she'll be willing to clear up this confusion.

XD seems really similiar ^^ i have made my own tonfas out of bamboo sticks xD and i'm autist + social anxiety = i HATE growds the most and i'm a very silent but attentive person with good intelligence (if i can say so xD) and i love animals 1000 times more then humans. so i have my reasons why i like this guy so much xD especially the 26 year old version ^^ (the younger one is toooo young for me XDD)

no need to worry, i'm a psycho XD

this breeding would be okay too ^^ and it can be that he will be white again, i researched dominant white especially for the tiger GoS XD and i saw that this gen is dominant, being a KIT gen, and one W allele is enough for the foal to have dominant white. But because DW is very rare on GoS i will try not to make to many DWs with breedings. and it could be that the markings will be black or grey ^^ then we would see them very good at a white horse. but i often try to fit the marking color to the body color so that it looks the best =)

and now we should stop spamming xD

Ah, I feel you on the social anxiety. *shakes head, grimacing* In fifth grade it got so bad I was vomiting five times a day, even on weekends, at the very thought of going back to school. Granted, the bullying was atrocious that year, including a teacher, and the school nurse, but still. Not fun in the slightest, though recent years have proven much kinder and I'm actually able to get through my days without any meltdowns.

People scare me far more than any irked animal, save perhaps those which would consider me lunch.

In all honesty, I was actually a bit surprised when all of Rin's foals turned out white. There's never actually been a horse that's homogeneous for white, and it is suspected that the embryos of such would-be foals never develop to such a stage, resulting in a miscarriage. Not like lethal white syndrome, when a foal is born homogeneous for overo, and dies shortly thereafter due to the lack of stem cells in the colon, but somewhat similar in the aspect that it is something of an impossibility. Of course, this also means that there's no truly albino horses, while I know of at least one albino guardian, and this is a fantasy species regardless, so whatever point I might've been trying to make would be rather negligible by now.

Hm... I suppose. I shall post this, and then I shall hush.

woah that's really bad >-< i feel with you, i got a psychosomatic gastritis because of this whole s*** named school u.û and i still have it, chronically. now i'm just trying to survive and feeling good or making things that let me feel good helps very much ^^

yes it is right, it can happen that the foal is nonviable, but it is not been verified for all dominant white genetic variations (and dominant white isn't albino, even if it is homozygous, albino doesn't occur on horses). but like i said, only one allele is enough for the foal to be dominant white, like with tobiano and roan, so it is highly hereditary. i think i saw the DW mare as a special so that she hereditarys the W gen very often, but i don't wanted to do complete white foals and so i showed the speciality of the DW that foals can look more like sabino and that DW can happen to end up spotted =)

*glances about shiftily* I think it's been long enough for this post to not to be considered spam? Maybe? In any case I'll be off to a baby shower in a bit, and likely won't be able to respond again until much later, anyways.

Yikes! That sounds horrid, though I'll admit to having to look it up to figure out what you were talking about. *shakes head* You have my deepest sympathies there, and I don't envy you a bit. At least you've got art, and presumably anime and flower arranging, to help?

*glance back at prior post* I might've worded it a bit oddly, but I do realize that albino isn't the same as dominant white, which would be... leucism, if I'm not mistaken? I was pointing out the two instances where such lack of pigmentation was fatal to the foal, while silently considering if there were cases where the embryotic foal had such a mutation -albino- and it was terminated before the pregnancy could ever be detected. Not an expert on this stuff by far, but I am trying to learn considering I want to go into biochemistry, bioengineering, and/or genetic engineering. Tricky thing is, that there's no classes or anything for the later two around here, the closest being the biomedical course I'm currently enrolled in. If I make any mistakes, please do correct me.

Also, you were right about it being two weeks after the egg is posted; I'll be able to order the breeding between Lace and Bae the day before Halloween. Perfect timing for spooky spiders and their webs~

[NeriHyuga]

hm i think it is considered spam because these are themes we should talk about pm XD because it doesn't consider the foal ^^

and i have my horses~ x3 it's okay i can live with it very good =) better then a stomach ulcer

i'm not a pro either ^^ it's just a hobby from me and nothing more =) my hobby are horses and all things around them =) and i love how many-sided horse colors and genetics are ^^ so i'm sure what you say is right too =)
i hope you can fullfill your dream =)

okay x3 then i will look forward to it~

[Bayfire213]

Ah, I see. *bobs head* In which case...

I think I shall name this darling boy Silvani, from the Roman god Silvanus, who was a deity of woods and fields, and a protector of forests. His nickname shall be Vani, pronounced similar to the male name of Danny, which has a meaning of 'God is my judge', which considering this handsome colt's sire, and the relationship I can see them having, with Vani trying to make his parents, but especially his less vocal and doting father, proud... It fits? Of course this all is tentative planning, which might very well go up in smoke once he hatches.

But with that, I am talking about this foal, and thus, not spam? Maybe? *shrugs* I tried, at least. Besides, at least this way there's no suspicion of either of us plotting to take over the world, or some other such thing. Of course, now that I actually say that...

Horses are wonderful creatures~ "In riding a horse we borrow freedom." "Horses are God's apology for men." "Riding is a lot like nuts and bolts; if the rider's nuts, the horse bolts." Bunches of other quotes I adore and/or find humorous, but there'd be paragraphs upon paragraphs were I to continue.

The sweet smell of horses and alfalfa, the creak of well-worn leather, those soft, velveteen kisses only a horse can give... Wonderful, wonderful creatures. As for genetics... For me it's the puzzle of it all, and how everything ties together, and why it does or doesn't work. Why can you take two solid colored horses, breed them together, and then breed that solid colored foal to a varnish roan and get a blanket appaloosa? Or breed two solid bay horses and get a stunning macchiato foal, like so? Two black horses and get a chestnut? Two grey horses and get a colored foal, who having not inherited the gene, never greys out? What about the amber eyes occasionally found in Paso Fino horses, often called tiger eyes, was it a recessive gene finally surfacing, or a recent mutation? I find the entire thing quite fascinating, despite the blank looks my eager chatter so often prompts.
