Collection Discussion Thread ♡ NEW Poll!* ♡

[lucifer morningstar]

I've finally decided to try for a complete pet collection! I've sorted all monthly adopts by species and year, and have separate groups for each event and staff/gh litter. Store pets have their own group as well, and once I get a UR I'll make a group for that too. (Personally I feel URs should be like store pets and not count towards the "official" collection.)

Complete monthlies: bunnies, chameleons, snakes, monkeys, eastern dragons, western dragons, zebras, macaws

I completely agree with you! I wish those weren't included in the archive like Store Pets. both are very different than regular adopts, even holiday events are different. mine drives me nuts trying to figure out which ones are complete without including SRs. I wonder if one day they'll have different settings like that for the forums.

man, the collector in me wants one of every pet, but as i grow older i'm trying to shift out of that mindset. i JUST finished adding all of the pets i don't own onto my wl + i'm now satisfied w my groups. do i really want to switch it up?

i think it'd be really cool to just have a collection of pets i really like and all others fr trade, going just based off of designs. that would be nice because i don't like many of the more expensive pets, like the old lists.

but trying to collect them all is kinda harmless in a virtual pixel game and it's a lot harder to get them all than it is to get rid of them. and back when i used to play a full collection was The Goal. but now as an adult the more i play, the more and more unachievable it feels. i know i'd want a full-full collection which to me means store pets included and there is NO WAY i'd ever get enough for old store pets.

idk, i'm just really torn on where i want to go.

And just like that, after years and years, I finally can say I completed the squid set! I was someone around when the squids came out, and as usual, a UR is what kept the set from being done. I had no hope in finding one any time soon, but it finally happened!

I'm after a full CS Set because, before retiring for 2-3 years, I had worked so hard that I was unknowingly down to 8 pages of WL from being done. Naturally it grew while gone, so when I returned it was 40 pages. After a few months of a lot of working, I'm currently at 21 pages. Most are thankfully easy to find.


I organize my pets by year, species, and whether or not the year is complete. As usual, most groups are hung up because of a UR; the squids being one. I can now celebrate that, in the case of the squids, it's finally over!!!

(My squids haven't been separated yet, but I keep URs, store pets, and staff pets (staff and GH) all separated into their own groups. So this little lady, while the one to finish my set, will not actually be with my other squids because she's a UR.)

I want to at least collect all the smaller animals, if not everything on CS. Deer are first, and this is what I have so far!
🎊 You have collected all of the Deer from 2013! 🎉
🎊 You have collected all of the Deer from 2020! 🎉
🎊 You have collected all of the Deer from 2022! 🎉
🎊 You've collected at least 400 different Deer! 🎉
I'm only missing about 30 now, and I've only been 'seriously' trying to collect since last August!

ughhh I am iin the middle of resorting my entire collection (because I'm trying to collect one of every pet :,c) and needed somewhere to post about it. I am following the archive mostly! (adding staff litters, GH cats, and GUPPS/GUN/RPPS pet groups for each year) my google doc is 8 pages long of groups I gotta add and I've already done about 5 already that aren't in the doc... I have to redo it though because I decided to change my style 15% through doing this :CC

2014 seems close to done though collecting wise which I'm excited about!

I am now fully lost on what to collect next 😭😅
I only have four more cows left, then all my collections (except dogs) are done. There are some species left, that I haven't fully collected yet but they are not really attainable to me:

Sitting Cats before 2010 (I have all cats from 2010 and later) - With all the warrior cats and the UR cat I doubt I have enough to trade for them.
Bunnies - Too many valuable MA pets that aren't easy to get and it wouldn't feel complete without the skelebun.
Rats, Horses and Ponies - Waaay too many of those, also includes valuables and I don't like the linearts at all tbh (except the tess horses somewhat, but there are two URs ugh).
Food pets and plants - Not my cup of tea + most are high value too.
Cerberus and Sleipnirs - Don't even need to talk about those XD

I've tentatively put the malk dragons and omgsr zebras on my WL. They are pretty expensive as well, but at least I like the linearts 🥲 But I am not sure yet if I really want to trade for them, because again it would mean trading away some of my valuable dogs.
