y'all every day i've been suffering because the day the adopts dropped i was busy with my sister's kids all day and i adopted everything /an hour and a half late/ and waiting that extra time keeps KILLING me T_T

man i forgot what day it was altogether and adopted everything like 15-16 hours late :') like ive barely gotten the previous days pups before i have to head to bed and wake up to see everyone with the next days pups lmao

I adopted 2PM so I have to wait a long time. lol I was busy last Friday and completely forgot. xD

I forgot about timezones and managed to adopt 23:50 UTC, literally 10 minutes before the next rollover lmao.

2. Might include scales; possibly an aquatic pup, "Possibly?? Idk"
This pup has a pattern that looks like scales, and it's begging to turn into some other kind of creature.

I was also definitely getting fish vibes from this lil guy too, trying to figure out which dang species has that pattern has sent me down a rabbit hole though. turns out yellow/brownish striped fish are common enough it's hard to find which one I'm picturing so clearly in my head in a search. not quite butterflyfish, though that's the closest I've gotten to finding a match. I *swear* I've seen a fish with those dots on the stripes before, it's driving me crazy!

(now watch this be 100% not-even-remotely-based-on-a-fish when it grows up, rip :p)

I think it's only the pattern that looks like another animal. Last year's snake is magenta and lilac and i don't think there are snakes of that color irl. and the year before that is a green, red, blue and gray alligator/crocodile. i don't think the colors are realistic...

Honestly it reminds me of a blue tongue lizard from the pattern. I'm probably wayy off there though lol

I know I'm late to the party, but I can't get over the color palette for this year. It's so fun and colorful, and I'm really excited to see all the outcomes!

and you... I'm excited for you in particular...

[Frostseraph]

Liking a lot of these pups already, but for sanity's sake, I am going to avoid swapping for any I missed until everything is fully grown as I feel it'll be easier then lol. Excited to see these babies grow up!

Some more questions for the staff :

What color are your pups toes? (final stage)
Is your pup inspired by mythology?
What would your pups favorite song be?
What is your pups favorite food?

1 - Minty :3
2 - Nope!
3 - Unwell, Matchbox 20
4 - Toaster Strudels!

[CelticKitty]

Saikiyo, is your pup the one that looks like a dragon/dino in its
2nd stage right now? if not, it's ok, just remotely reminds me of your past pups.

[Electric~Lime~Zebra]

I've got a feeling that today's pup is Winx'!
Check out my latest post on why I think it's flower themed if you haven't already!

Is your pup inspired by the scene/emo subculture? I wouldn’t say so! I think they could pull off a pastel goth look though. (;

The colors in this pup could be considered pastel apart from the dark pink on the nose/ears and back.



The flower placed next to the pup looks a lot like a not full grown daisy, if you compare it to this picture.

What is your pet's final stage eye color? Is it even visible? (specified final stage) Their eyes are a shade of calm and serenity.

So I checked the eye color of this pup which happends to be a shade of blue, and if we check out this website, you'll see that that shade can be described as a shade for serenity


Could just be a coincidence tho!

I’m in the same boat as Lacuna — I won’t confirm or deny any outcomes yet. However, I think y’all are on the right track! This could definitely be an option based on all the clues.

I've been pondering this today, with xylinie's post I have a question for Winx. Has your pup been unblanketed yet?

They are unblanketed now. (;

Question for all:

Does your pup share any intentional characteristics or themes with another staff member's pet (as in you worked together)?

Didn’t work together with anyone, but I will say that my pup shares themes/characteristics with a handful of other outcomes.

I know you're not confirming yet but the pup xylinie posted is in my top 3 guesses for you as well, they did great clue-hunting and feels plausible to me. But I keep thinking this one:

This one because of your clues in this reply. reminds me of the sun/spring/summer vibes. The pup definitely looks like they could pull off pastel goth. The eyes look calm andddd the hair reminds me of 70s shag

edit:
has anyone guessed for this pup to be vampiric's yet?

reasoning: Tamogotchi correlates with that "1000% 90's hint" also the little hair at the top just gives me vampiric's art style vibes + the eyes <3

[Raire]

OKAY, SO!
I haven't been looking a whole lot this year, but I have a probably very incorrect theory!
I think that this pup could belong to Raire and I think it might be ocean/water in general themed. bear with me lol


> lineart edits:

does the fish maybe count? if not, then maybe when it grows up!

> not animal inspired:

ocean ≠ animal

> eats protein/sometimes salad:

so the ocean doesn't technically eat, but there's, like, plankton right? and like seaweed and stuff....

> too heavy for wings:

ocean.... lots of water.... heavy

> both silly and serious:

ocean can be fun but also tsunamis

> loves travel:

water is found basically everywhere on Earth. as far as copying Koikee, I'm not sure but I feel like Koikee is like space/moon themed and the moon affects the tide soo...

> not many friends/greets Koikee:

^y'know like... ocean... tides... right? ;-;

> love schools:

fish travel in schools, and the pup has a fish

Whoo, I haven't really had time to read the posts these last days, but I got some time today to respond to this. It seems like I trolled a bit too much and it led you astray. My dog is based on something that is alive, but it is rather... animal... -ish. I guess. However you wanna see it. And it does actually eat! I guess.
So no, I didn't make an ocean/water dog!

[Lacuna]

I didn’t see any recent questions but I’m open to answering some! I like leaving you hints in plain sight… there’s more than what meets the eye.

[T w i x]

This guy reminds me of a lemon shark does anyone think the same?
