Favorite intermediate pets

[organicbunny]

hi! i was checking the archives to see which feb pets i had and i saw this pet's transition to adulthood...

i thought it was so cool how the clouds spread and take over the design, and i realized i never would've noticed if i didn't check in the archives. a lot of intermediate/juvenile stages go unappreciated because of how temporary they are.
so...
what are your favorite juvenile/intermediate stages you want other people to see? i'm super curious and i want to see!

I liked this entire litter but I LOVED this little guy’s growing stage the most. First one that came to mind!

From February 2025

YES this litter was SO good! honestly, all of february's litters this year were total bangers, including the babies

There’s a litter of trans pride themed deer from June 2022 where the teenage FTM deer gain antlers as adults and the MTF ones lose them. I thought that was a pretty neat way to represent transition.

oops I was totally gonna reply to this thread

I really really liked the adult intermediate stages for this horse litter: archive/2024/April/Horse
while it's intended to be a representation of natural coat fading as they grow older, I still wish I could have had one stay at their 'prime.' I particularly liked the texture on this one before it finished growing:

i love that they show the aging! but you're right, it's a shame such a beautiful coat is gone

prolly gonna get hate, but: honestly i never saw the point of the multi different stages. IMO kinda just makes it harder for the archivist because after they grow no one even usually remembers the ones with the multi stages. OR we always end up wanting to keep the stages that keep growing. xD
the only one it really makes sense to me is the RBM because each different color could be an outcome or keep growing, so those intermediate colors still all became an outcome.
might could be a cool concept for advent pets to maybe look at those middle designs and maybe make 'em on other lines or just add them as actual outcomes?
