ChickenSmoothie Yearly Review: 2023

[Minimanta]

Favorite Monthly pet(s) of 2023

So many good regular pets this year, it was hard to limit myself but here's a tentative top 5 ^.^


Favorite 2nd/3rd gen litter of 2023

Fave of their pups:

I can't for the life of me find an updated guide/archive that shows all the 2nd/3rd gen pairs but I believe those two are the parents of the litter from October.
Definitely my favorite pairing this year, it hit right in the nostalgia and the pups are just stunning <3

2nd fave is the paring from this month:

Fave pup:


3rd fave:

Fave kitten:



Favorite Easter Event Pet(s) of 2023

Not the most exciting Easter ever this year but we did get a lot of pretty pets ^.^


Favorite Summer Event Pet(s) of 2023

Very hard to limit myself on this one! Loved the theme and we just got so many awesome pets! <3


Favorite Halloween Event Pet(s) of 2023

Got a lot of fun pets for Halloween this year :D


Favorite Advent/Hannukka Pet(s) of 2023

I decided to limit myself to just this litter for christmas even though we got a lot of awesome pets for christmas but my love for these chooks are just not even close to the rest of the pets we got. I love pleated hearts <3
That red and white chook gotta be in my top 3 of ALL pets this year, regular or event, if I could ever limit myself to 3 xD
And probably in my top 10, if not top 5 of all pets ever on CS.


Favorite staff(Nov)/guest artist(Jun) pet in 2023

Just a small correction, the staff litter is in September and the cat litter are not made by guest artists but by the general helpers ^.^


Favorite random event in 2023(i.e. Chicken Nugget Day, Pancake Day, etc.)

I absolutely LOVED the Endangered Species day <3
And shoutout to that one Extinct In The Wild plant that was represented! Not only animals can be endangered!


Favorite Item(s) of 2023

All of the little shrooms from the Camping event <3
Got a lot of good nature items from this event, actually ^.^


Bones from Halloween:


And these cute little guys from Halloween!



Your Favorite Dressup in 2023

I don't really dress up my pets but I did join the bandwagon with the camps back during the summer event and I rather like how it turned out ^.^

Favorite Monthly pet(s) of 2023


I Love these Tarot Card inspired Butterfly Wolves from January of this year!

Favorite 2nd/3rd gen litter of 2023

A lot were good this year, but I have to say, I loved our April Fool's 2nd Gen Cats. I was cackling at the appearances and I love how cartoonish the designs were allowed to be!

Favorite Easter Event Pet(s) of 2023



Favorite Summer Event Pet(s) of 2023



Favorite Halloween Event Pet(s) of 2023

This one was hard, I really liked the scene/emo lions, the PPS Bat and Creepy Tree Unicorn, but I'll have to say the Potion Cats They're so serene and I can't help but like Bottle Cats.



Favorite Advent/Hannukka Pet(s) of 2023


I love this B-Wolf for the Advent, based on one of my favorite items!!

Favorite staff(Nov)/guest artist(Jun) pet in 2023

This is very hard, as I think each staff member and general helper does try to bring their personality through in each of their pet designs. That being said, Koikee's Staff pet and Lennie's Cat Kai have some of my favorite designs this year



Favorite random event in 2023(i.e. Chicken Nugget Day, Pancake Day, etc.)

I really enjoyed all the random event days, seeing the artists pick something they care about and doing some pets for those days! It was really fun (National Ice Cream Day next year, any artists?). My favorite, though, was National Endangered Species Day. As a pet site, I think it is important to draw attention to the animals living on our planet, and I appreciated the AMOUNT of pets we got, just randomly, on May 19th. Including a plant as well was a surprise! I hope this makes a repeat, the designs were beautiful.



Favorite Item(s) of 2023



The Scarf Set and Paint Set from the C$ store are some of my favorites this year!!

Pets from 2023 you would love to see a 2nd/3rd Gen Litter of one year

I can do a lot of these lol but I'll limit myself to one;

x

I know there are line art edits, but I think this would allow for some dynamic poses, especially for some Vaudeville style pets; imagine, a dog with the squirting flower trick XD.

Pet design from 2023 you wished to see a comeback of one year

I actually really like the way this was done from November;



I think this style of design is so clever to show where the full color is going to come in, I'd love to see similar designs make a comeback in later years!

2023 Pet(s) You wish were a pps

N/A; there weren't any pets this year I wanted to remain frozen in their middle stage or even the extreme PPS stage.

2023 Pet(s) you wish to see GUPPS



Your Favorite Dressup in 2023

N/A, I don't really do too many dressups/keep eyes on them, but I appreciate that CS showcases those that do love to this!!

A theme you wish to see for any event

I think it'd be neat to have a pirate event, since we've had Beach and Lost City, but we haven't had any sailing on the open seas, or maybe a Storybook event--something similar to Medieval Faire/Fae Mischief but being more like drawn into traditional fairy tales. I think any of those could be neat!
