I THOUGHT THAT DOLL WAS MADE OF PLUSH AND CLOTH OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. SOFT MATERIAL.

WHY IS IT CRACKING

I collect dolls, and this pupper reminds me a lot of a composition doll! Many of these dolls had soft bodies (like the puppy, you'll notice the body is different material from the limbs + head) and the extremities were made of composition - a glue + sawdust mixture. While composition dolls start out smooth, they tend to craze over time, just due to being out and about and interacting with humidity and temperature. I'm not sure if that's what the dog is meant to be, but maybe? It's what it reminds me of ^^

Hello hello! I think I found your pet you kinda gave yourself away when saying "I'll tell you that my pup stage has a uncommon edit, in fact being the Only pup this year to have this particular style of edit.

This pup I believe has a uncommon edit and is the only pup with 3 tails. It also have purple eyes not blue, and floppy ears. His colors are yet light and darkish so therefor I believe this pup is yours.

this made me look up "composition dolls cracking" - and oh boy - i'm not sleeping tonight -
i wonder what will happen to the doll next! ^^'

[Gwyneira]

Wait, so it... appears blue but it isn't blue, and everyone also KNOWS it's not blue? Maybe an illustration of glass? How... complicated.

I dont know why but I thought of blueberry. help me pls.

More things:

The moon as in blue moon?
Or ummm I dunno what else

Could it be blue as in sadness/heartbreak. The expression "I'm feeling blue"???
Sorry if my brain isn't working that well tonight. I've been studying all day for an exam tomorrow.

Same! Wow, that is very creepy. I'm almost scared to see what the poor doll pup is going to turn into now.

I believe "pup" refers to the middle stage, and that the flop ears are a normal part of the line art, whereas Atwood has stated the ears are edited.

Ooh, I like this idea

"1. ""Does your pup have blue eyes? ""No."" ""does yours have extra things in the negative
space?"" ""No."" ""If you mean does it have a trait in common with any of my previous staff
dogs, yes."" no blue eyes in this pup, and sorta like the collie in common?
2. ""*isn't* based on a preexisting character"" mk
3. ""Hey, Taavi and the Master share a couple of colours!"" blue and tan?
4. ""Looking back over the past posts, I see there were a couple of observations made based on my past pets - I can say that one of those observations holds true this year while the other could both help and hinder you."" i saw a collie, and a bird, so maybe animal oriented in the rl area. dingooo
5. ""If it helps for finding my hints, I'm usually not that sneaky about hiding them - there won't be anything buried deep in a 1000+ pet group or in an ancient post in the middle of nowhere. :3 Any hint of mine will probably be either in this thread or able to be found within about four clicks. [And there is still one big hint that hasn't been found yet.]"" good to know
6. ""I think Taavi's very sweet, but some people would certainly find him scary if they met him."" dingo?
7. ""Gentle"" (Referring to their pup) the pup doesn't look mean
8. ""Does it have tail edits? c:"", ""As an adult, yes. :3"" can't see the adult version yet
9. ""The name has no significance beyond its significance to me personally. I did consider naming him Peikko just to mess with you all though. :b Taavi's eyes as an adult are not from the palette."" :]
10. ""What would be the average person's reaction to coming across your pup in a dark alley?"" ""the average person's reaction might depend on which of two movies they've seen more recently."" all i can think of is dingo.
11. ""ear lineart changes :0"" ""Bingo! X3"" ear edits on this one.
12. ""Taavi does have some connections to previous staff dogs of mine, two of them in particular"" the blue merle collie and uhm..
13. (hint refers to an off-account adopted staff pup with the name: The biggest hint to give is blue) ""so I'll say that you can relate this 'hint' to one of those two hints I mentioned haven't been picked up on yet. Specifically, the object of that hint is something that commonly appears to be blue but is actually not blue at all."" with all the blue stuff, blue merle came to mind.
14. ""Seeing as people are discussing my 'movie' hint, I'll mention that the two movies in question are both ones people are very likely to have seen or at least be reasonably aware of through general pop culture, and the thing that might remind them of Taavi is a very prominent part of both.""" no idea

edit: ...or a chihuahua, now that i look at it >.>

has Atwood denied this pupper?

[VanyaDuvainel]

Haven't heard a denial on that one yet, I don't think.

Yikes, thanks for being the guinea pig. That's one more thing I'm never searching
@dorian-finchley very interesting, though o:

[Raire]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was going to deny a pup but you guys seem busy, maybe another time instead.

Atwood has also denied this one.
