Hoard Discussions Thread v.7!

[=Kitty=]

Ooh, hoard thread!

I have 3 right now- Guinea Pigs, Squids, and my newest one, Bunnies!

Sucks though that all 3 are pets that people tend to not trade/dont have, lol

[strangetales]

If I want to create a thread to keep track of my hoards, what board would I do that in?



adoptable collections & clickables (:

Oh boy I haven't done one of these in a while, I figure it can't hurt to do an update on some finished collections as I do some cleanup! :D
(I think like 90% of the finished ones I started and completed since my last post here, lol)

COMPLETED!
Archival Inkstains [20/20]
Beware of the Unknown [2x 10/10]
Business Casual [20/20]
Dapper and Dashing and Decking the Halls [20/20]
Deck Chairs on the Titanic [20/20]
Flux Ca-paw-citor (Yeehaw-citor) [20/20]
Let the Rain Wash Away (all the pains of yesterday) [20/20]
Majykks and Mysteries [5x 20/20]

Secret Admirer [20/20]

Vulpes vulpes fulva [4x 5/5]
Wine Red [20/20] - BIG EXCITEMENT ON FINISHING THIS ONE, HECK YEAH! :DDDD

It's always super interesting to see the distribution of outcomes in multi-pet groups. You'd assume a pretty random mix, but then 10 of the 20 of one staff dog are all on one page, or you get nearly a full run of the same butterfly-fox outcome. Which yes, is how randomness actually works, I know, but it's always a fun coincidence to see them all bunched up like that, lol.


I also hit my goal of 500 of the e. common horse in my Proud To Be group! Capping it at 1000, though I think it's going to slow down significantly as of now, I've seemingly exhausted most people with them in their groups looking for something fair value in return, lol :')


And here's a few aaaaaaalmost finished groups with only one or two pets left:
An Ace Up Your Sleeve [17/20] - 2017 advent ace of spades dog
Anklebiters [9/10] - 2017 c corgi staff dog
Dustfinger Inkstains [18/20] - 2016 grey advent horse pps with black socks
It's A Murder Mystery! [4/5] - 2024 red 1-tailed kitsune 2nd gen dog
It's a Hard (Rock) Life [98/100] - any 2021 dino dog
Medusa's Folly [18/20] - 2023 gravestone dog
Myth of Favor [15/20] - 2024 vc dragon staff dog
Tamed but Never Broken [8/10] - 2024 buckskin pony
Under Your Umbrella [98/100] - any 2024 omgsc trans pride maned lion or flag horse
Votive Flora [7/10] - 2020 c grey flower fox

also i somehow only just discovered this perfect little guinea pig exists and couldn't help myself. now to find a little blue scarf/flowers to give all of them to rep my fave trio ;>
(only three so far, not many people seem to have any even with the common rarity/species and relatively recent date. alas u-u)

I also have plenty more I've started, and ones nearly completed that still need names chilling in my to-be-sorted group, but I think this is enough links for y'all just with these already :'v

my aussie hoard is my favorite thing (especially the blue merles)! plus, all the '09 TDs are officially turning 16 this month ♥︎

i started collecting them in 2012 and have a mix of 45* aussies, including two URs.



these are my favorite pets on cs, but they have become almost impossible to find for trade these days.

i recently started a hoard of aussie lookalikes, too!

I'm making good progress on my "Lost Records" hoard! I'm currently at 70/100!



I've got some more trades sitting so hopefully I'll be able to complete it soon. I did not expect it to go this easily but it's been fun! Usually I have a difficult time with hoards but I guess these are not very popular pets. And so far I've managed to get 35 of each, so it's an even split!

I also decided to do a "Life is Strange" inspired hoard. I had to think a lot about it because I didn't just want to do a regular deer or blue butterfly-type hoard. Mostly because I knew those pets would be lot harder to trade for, but also I wanted something that actually reminded me of imagery from the game! So I decided to go with this kitty:



It makes me think of the Arcadia Bay lighthouse and the ending of episode 1, so it's perfect! Right now I'm only at 2/100, but I have a massive trade waiting and I might be able to complete it in one fell swoop. Which is great because it seems this cat, despite being a recent VC, is hard to find! Maybe I should do more video game hoards ...

i can’t even remember when i was last on this thread ,, everyone’s hoards look great & congrats to those making progress , reaching milestones , or sharing their personal goals !

i personally set a milestone around january to hit 250k cats by the end of this year , and around 2.5k sitting cats .
i’m already over halfway there from where i started with the cats :0 ,, i started on 200k (roughly) and i’m now sitting at 226.7k cats . and as for the sitting cats , i have almost 1.6k , but have made good progress !

i haven’t worked so much on my rare+ hoards recently as they have been a huge stress factor for me xD

Starting from scratch with two new unlimited hoards c:

Witch Themed Pets - Basically anything I can find with a witch hat!

EPPS Kittens - Specifically ones that are tucked in with a blanket / have relatively the same lineart ^^

I just want to collect a couple things casually and both seemed like fun little hoards!
