I fell HARD for this chicken the first time I saw it. I love summer greens, and my favorite color combination is green and teal, so naturally... hoard time. Because I love summer and her greens so much, I decided to hoard this chicken as a tribute to that.

I'm a big fan of this little comic called Romantically Apocalyptic. It's distopian and has amazing art design. It's kooky and fantastic and dark and strange and I love it. If you like any of the above descriptors, I highly recommend checking it out. ALL HAIL ZEE CAPTAIN.

Yet another "hoard because I got so many from my adopts" hoard. But I honestly do love this bwolf. The gradient blues, the seraphine apperance, the wings and those cute little curled ears... I love it. The hoard name comes from The Smith's song "Asleep".

I love dark, cloud, and night-themed pets, usually because they seem philosophically dark to me. But something about this pup puts me at ease. Like a childrens nursery rhyme or story book. So innocent and calm. The name of this hoard comes from a Eurythymics song by the same name. A bit dark and... unsettling (to me), but the title fits.

I decided to hoard this dog because it's quite unusual to find a pet dedicated to loss/unrequited love during Valentine's Day. Its colors are beautiful and demure, and the first thing that popped into my head upon seeing it was a quote from Doctor Who: "Better a broken heart than no heart at all."

This dogs eyes instantly caught my attention. Their rich aquamarine hue contrasted with the dark fur reminded me of the calm before a summer rain storm. I also love how even though this dog has quite vibrant parents, it is much more subtle than its lineage would lead you to believe.

One of the parents of this pup belongs to one of my most favorite dog litters, so the minute this pup grew up I fell in love. The soft greys, the gears and lace patterns, are so indicative of the Victorian Era to me that I couldn't not hoard it and name the hoard and dogs accordingly.

This is another dog whose eyes made me fall in love instantly. The design is very simple and plain, but those eyes. They add so much character to this guy. The combination of orange and blue never fails to make me thing of goldfish, which was part of the inspiration for the hoard name.

This dogs colors have always reminded me of Ten's getup from Doctor Who. So, naturally I had to hoard it. There are twelve of these Time Lords, one for each regeneration of the doctor (plus one so I don't have to scramble when 11 regens x3), and named after iconic things/characters from the series (mostly "new who").

This was just an impulsive hoard that I lost interest in rather quickly (like literally a few hours after I started it), but because it's small it's still meaningful. The names of the dogs are named in part from the Christian saints Faith, Hope and Charity. I myself am not religious, but the underlying morals are still important to me.

If I had to choose five of my most favorite hoards, this one would probably be within the top two, I love it that much. I simply adore rainstorms, and when this litter was released I fell in love, and I fell hard.

I couldn't pick one outcome, so I decided to hoard them all. Just looking at this litter makes me antsy for fall storms, the cooling weather, scarves, and autumn colors. Even though this litter was released in September, I've always associated it with deep fall, and truly one of my favorite things in the world is rainstorms in the fall.

This is one of those instances where I saw a pet, and a random thing popped into my head and the only conclusion was to hoard said pet. In this instance, it was this dog and the song "Shake It Out" by Florence and the Machine. Something seemed to fit, and I'm rather fond of this hoard.

Even though I know this litter was based on salmon, I can't help but see a sunset when I look at this guy. I'm a sucker for sunset colors. That, paired with the general nature vibe I get from the fact that it is based on salmon, made me think of wild rushing streams. Hence the hoard name. I am so clever.

One of my larger hoards at 100 pets, and one of my most favorite.

When this bwolf was released, it was getting along towards Christmas, and I love mint chocolate things around that time of the year. I loved all the outcomes of this litter so much, so I decided to hoard them all at once.

I'm also quite proud of this hoard for the reason that each bwolf is named and gendered individually. It was pretty difficult coming up with mint and chocolate names for 100 of these guys! But they all look so nice, so it was worth it.

Swirling, the snowfall starts to pick up until it is a blizzard.
After the snow, everything is glistening and frosted.

A least that's the way that I see it. A perfect winter wonderland.

The pretty, desaturated yet whimsical colors of these rats reminded me of one of my favorite texture packs for Minecraft, Dear Isabella. The whole feeling of the pack is of times gone by, where letters written on parchment with quills were the norm. I got the same sort of feeling from these rats.

I actually started this hoard because I saw someone else hoarding it, and I noticed how pretty so many of this rat looked in one group. The hoard name comes from a spin on the famous book and film The Last Unicorn.

This owl is definitely one of my most favorite ever released. The design is simple, but the colors and that swirl on the chest make it extraordinary to me.

It reminds me of a mix between sepia photography and space, hence the oh-so clever hoard name.

ｆａｍｉｌｙ， ｄｕｔｙ， ｈｏｎｏｒ || ５０

ｒｅａｓｏｎ ｆｏｒ ｈｏａｒｄｉｎｇ

Literally the first thing that popped into my head when I saw these owls was the Fire Nation from Avatar: The Last Airbender. That deep red and gold could not be mistaken for anything else to me.

One of my favorite things about the series was the juxtaposition between Zuko and Azula. How similar yet different they were, how they complimented and contrasted each other, and their over all story arc - individually and as siblings.

I have a deep love for AtLA for a variety of reasons, but complex characters and character growths is probably at the top of the list. I could write a dissertation on my feelings about this show, but back to the hoard. x3

I hoarded these lovelies to 50, 25 each even. The one with the gold eyes is Zuko, and the one with the purple eyes (which has always seemed the "radical" one for some reason) is Azula.

Also, red and gold is super pretty, and the hoard name comes from house Tully's words from ASoIaF which seems to suit the Fire Nation.

The name of the hoard comes from the song "Devil in Jersey City" by Coheed and Cambria.

ｓｔａｔｕｓ: free from a quitting user

ｓｔｏｒｙ: One day while I was surfing through the free pet board I saw that an older user was quitting. Though I was completely sure some one else had offered on this guy, I sent a polite trade. Lo and behold a few days later my trade was accepted.

This is the only truedate List pet I own, and though I believe that rereleases are worth the same as truedates, I'm still very proud of this guy.

ｓｔｏｒｙ: Elinore here was another ridiculously lucky catch from the free pet boards. I'm not a particularly lucky person, but talk about "right place, right time".

I've loved the raven dog since it was released shortly after I joined CS, but I could never afford one. I am so grateful that I have her now, though.

For being an evil queen, she sure is prissy, and would rather have her minions deliver her hate mail than do the deed herself.

ｓｔｏｒｙ: The coon dogs have never been my favorite, but I make an exception for Ad here. Not only was he the first pet I ever adopted on December 18th, but he was also my first Very Rare.

I've grown quite attached to him, and I would never be able to give him up. Somehow, he became my mascot for Halloween, so when I do Lights On/Lights Off and decorate my signature for the season, Ad is always front and center. (He does so love the attention.)

ｓｔｏｒｙ: Nea here is quite special. She was a very lovely gift from an equally lovely person. I'll spare the details, but this beauty is a reminder to me of many things. First, my grandmother. She always had those little Neapolitan candies around her house when I was younger, and the pink shade of this dog has always made me think of that and of her. Second, and obviously, the kindness of a somewhat stranger. And thirdly, that being open and honest, even though you may be anxious, can be a virtue. Thank you. You know who you are. ♥

ｓｔｏｒｙ: Though there are many pets I dearly love, if I was forced to choose only one based on design, it would be Iri. Back in the day, I was lucky enough to have had a PeaPS in my original adopts. Though being a newb, I traded it away. I always regretted this, but then a kind user gave be this gorgeous girl for my (early) birthday.

This girl is my reminder to myself to let my colors shine.

Trudy was technically my sister's dog, but our whole family loved her. She was raised by us since a pup, and I still remember the day dad came home with her. There was no doubt she was the queen of the house, but she had a playful side. She was terrified of thunder, and had a large widows peak; my mom always said she thought she was Dracula. Unfortunately, she passed away while I was gone at college, and I never got to say goodbye. It still eats me up, but she knew I loved her. I still do. <3

A few days before we rescued Lucky from a local vet, I had lost my previous dog of a few months (R.I.P. Spud). My mom told my sister that this was an opportunity for little seven year old me to learn about death... yet there we were, days later, picking out a new dog. And what a dog he was. He loved his tennis ball; he would lay on his back and lift the ball in and out of his own mouth. He was my little gentleman, and I miss him every day. </3

Discovered in a barn over fifteen years ago, these sister kitties have been our owners for quite a while. Initially "visiting" until my sister and her then-boyfriend could find a place, they have never left our house (when you're claimed, you're claimed). Tiger is, you guessed it, a grey/brown tiger, while speck is black and white spotted. They've been my girls for so long, and I love them so much, I can't imagine being without them. Coincidentally, both of their right eyes are more brown than their left ones.

Saved from our neighbor who was going to force her to live outside all winter over two years ago, Dusty became our (I should say my) girl fast. When I go upstairs, she follows me upstairs. When I go down, she goes down. Sometimes she'll wander around the house crying until she finds me. She nurses on my robe, and we play hide and seek. I've never met a cat like her, and I am completely in love. <3 She is currently learning to walk with a harness and leash, so we can enjoy her company and goofiness for many, many years to come.

The Eternal Lovers
Many years a go, the eternal lovers Light and Dark manifested themselves into the world and took the names Lumos and Nox.
They circle each other in an eternal dance, opposites that find themselves inexplicably bound to each other for eternity.
But it is their fate to turn and turn about the world, yet never meet.
It is only for the briefest moments, at Twilight and Daybreak, that a glimpse of Nox and Lumos can both be seen...
Just out of reach from the other.

Dark cannot exist without absence of Light, and what is Light if there is no Dark?
They will continue their unending spiral around the world, turning and turning but never meeting...
