Why would you like the Raven?
The raven dog is absolutely beautiful.
I have an affinity towards simplistic designed pets & the Raven dog is no exemption.
I'm a sucker for winged & angelic (both light and dark angelic aesthetics)
and the fact black is one of my favourite colours (alongside purple and red), is like a cherry on top.

I adored the Raven dog from the moment I saw it on CS (and very much still do).
But once I had a better understanding on its worth, demand & value, the idea of owning the Raven dog
seemed less and less realistic.
As I knew it would take some time/a while before I could even dream of owning my own. For that reason,
I 100% understand if the criteria is stricter when determining who to gift this angel too!
I'm just super grateful for the opportunity !! <3

As someone who is an item collector and enjoys dressing up pets when I have the time,
I have numerous ideas playing around in my mind on how I could dress it up. I do like adding dramatic flare
to some of my pets & other times I do more simplistic yet pretty dressups.
I recently experimented with this cutie which has very similar colours to the raven dog and they both have wings.
I enjoyed the pizzazz I managed to add to the dressup & its something I intend on experimenting more with!
Alternatively, I'm also considering doing a more nature theme dress up if I get the honour of re-homing the Raven dog,
as light colours really do shine against darker colours (here's an example I did a while back).
Ultimately its just some themes I have experimented with & loved, and i'm always up to try new things.
So these ideas aren't set stone with how I would dress up this beauty!
I just enjoy the creative space, dressing up pets give as I find it really fun & oddly relaxing. <3

I also enjoy literature and find myself drawn to things that hold 'deeper'/more sentimental or 'layered' meaning.
Upon searching for a name i'd like to call the Raven dog in the scenario where I did take her home.
I stumbled across numerous articles with different symbolisms, spiritual meanings & representations of the raven.
I ended up doing a bit of a deep dive & I find myself in awe - as they often hold contradicting meanings:
for example, some see the raven being a representation of good omen and others see its as a symbol of misfortune.
I thought this was incredibly interesting, how the same creature can hold such polarising meanings.
So now i'm going to do some more research to quench my newfound curiosity haha.

(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
What would you name it?
Name wise I will name this beauty Minerva. The reason being is that Minerva is a Latin name,
which means ‘the mind or intellect.’ Which is one of the things/qualities a raven symbolises - wisdom.
Furthermore, in Roman mythology, Minerva was the name of the Roman goddess of wisdom.
Making things even better, Minerva McGonagall is one of my favourite characters from Harry Potter haha,
so its a super neat plus to me!

Why should I give you the raven?

I don't consider myself more or less deserving to take the Raven dog home, as I know it is loved by many & has many
potential great homes to go to! <3

My intentions with the Raven dog, would be to keep it forever/until I decide to quit (a very long time from now).
So I can pass on this generosity onto others! A collection goal of mine, is to own all the store pets one day,
this is my current collection. I know it will take a while before I even come close to completing it, so it all helps. <3
I do not yet own a Raven dog and never have, but in the scenario where I did one day get the absolute honour too:
I would excitedly add the Raven dog to my collection, cherish the beauty and
dress it up the moment I have time too (as I am juggling work, university & other commitments)!

What is one thing you're grateful for?
I'm very grateful and thankful for the people in my life that have given me the ability to grow as a person,
in a loving environment. I cannot express the gratitude I have to my good friends, who stick with me through thick and
thin. Who genuinely care for me, love on me & just want the best for me. I always enjoy their company and spending
time with them - especially with quality time being my main love language.

Friendships are something I personally hold and regard highly, as it means alot to me. And surrounding yourself with
people whom genuinely want the best for you is so amazing. I whole-heartedly wish and hope everyone either has or
will have friends like this, no one deserves to be in a toxic environment/toxic friendships.
My heart gets all fuzzy and sappy whenever I think about them. ♡♡

I wrote a haiku, and to set the scene, I wrote a little introduction to the haiku in a short story form:

Stray ribbons of lightning dance across the bleak sky, as the gods of yesteryear grumbled in displeasure.
Minerva sat unfazed, mindlessly staring at the perturbed Earth, one of the unfortunate victims of Mother Nature’s
tantrum. Her paws dug into the soiled ground, feeling the little pebbles peppered around the waterfall..

Haiku:
Mother Nature cries
A woeful yet raucous tune
The raven caws again

Thank you once again for the opportunity!
Good luck everyone & a massive congrats to the person who takes this angel home ♥
Happy Holidays !! Have a lovely day/night & take care !!

Why would you like the Raven?: I find it very pretty and I've wanted one for awhile, it's a pet that has a special meaning to me.
What would you name it?: Poe
Why should I give you the raven?: i'm sure the raven will be well loved by whoever it goes too, I don't deserve it more than anyone else. if i am lucky enough to get it, it'll be appreciated forever and with the rest of my dreamies.
What is one thing you're grateful for?: i'm very grateful for my family, my partner my animals and all the amazing people in my life. people who are truly there for me, and love me and are understanding. simple things mean so much!
Other: [Give the pet a personality, write a poem, a story, or provide some art etc.]: the raven feels like they are wise to me. caring and loving, and can hold a lot of meaning in many ways.

I'm sure this reasoning isn't unique to me whatsoever- but the raven dog has been my highest dreamie ever since I first saw it! It perfectly encapsulates what I love in a design. It's just so beautiful, and I love looking at it whenever I come across it in pet groups! I adore the attention to detail, the amazing shading work, and how nicely every element comes together - I've come to appreciate this even more after picking up art as a dedicated hobby! For the four years I've been on this game, it's always been first in my list of dreamies, no matter how many times I revised my trade rules. I've been after it for so long, but of course this goal of mine has been set aside a bit considering how out of reach it is. Don't get me wrong, it's possible I could obtain the raven dog if I traded away everything I've collected so far- but I'm so attached to my little collections that I just don't have the heart to do that. I try to focus on smaller goals so I can feel more accomplished, but the idea of eventually having the raven dog after years just makes me so happy to even think about! Overall, I'd just be ecstatic to have this pet- I adore its color scheme (two colors, but two colors that go together Nicely) and its overall aesthetic. A pitch black dog with huge, fluffy raven wings is essentially a dream come true for me when it comes to a design. I love winged pets on this game, especially when they belong to a species that usually doesn't have wings. Seeing many users' dress ups where they include raven feathers and such around this pet is such a nice touch and it made me appreciate the concept even more!! I love this pet so much and having it in my collection would be amazing!!

ImageImageImage

I mean, just look at it... this design is so lovely and nice to look at!!! And I love darker color schemes that are easy on the eyes!! The eye color(lol) adds a very nice touch to an otherwise dark design. The feathers all over are so beautiful, and man I could just go on and on. I kind of already did, but I just love it so much!!

This is very difficult, as I'm absolutely horrible at names. My history of naming pets consists of looking at them for a brief moment and saying the first word that comes to mind (some examples: Twinkie, Biscuit, Snuggles...), so it could potentially end up with a name as generic as Crow, Fluffy, or Feather... But, considering this pet is so beautiful, I'd love to get in touch with my creative side and maybe come up with a more complex name that suits its theme! I think it would be lots of fun to look into a cool name, potentially related to mythology as I think the raven dog would be an amazing concept as a fantastical creature/legend! Also, the raven dog has always strangely reminded me of the font I'm using for the titles here- which is why I decided to use it- so I would probably incorporate the font in the name as well. I'm an extremely indecisive person though, so I'd probably have to give this great consideration for days on end^^;;

Image

Image♥ 𝖂𝖍𝖞 𝖘𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖑𝖉 𝕴 𝖌𝖎𝖛𝖊 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕽𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖓? ♥Image

If I'm being honest, there is no special reason why I deserve the raven dog more than anyone else entering this giveaway. I just thought I would take the chance since it's rare to come by, but I believe that anyone who writes from the heart here and genuinely wants a shot at getting the raven deserves the same opportunity and to be considered just as much as me! I'm sure there are many users reading this right now who have the same exact motivations as me for entering. I believe anyone who tries their best and puts effort into their entry deserves a rightful chance at obtaining their dream pet. Considering this is a pet that I’m sure was (and still is) very special to you, I think it’s completely up to you to decide who deserves it based on their entries… I can't give you a good reason why I’m the one who should get the raven out of all of these users entering, because truthfully there’s nothing special for me to say… but I hope you like my entry regardless!
What I can tell you is that I’ll treasure the raven endlessly and make sure it’s passed on to a good home if I eventually quit, but I’m sure that goes for most players entering here!! I'm sure the raven will go to a great user no matter what!

I can also tell you that I'll... most definitely try my best to go all out dressing them up!!
I decided to compile some items I might use for a dress up if I ever get the raven ^^
ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Looking through the item archive to find some that go together nicely was so much fun ;w;

I hope to find more items to fully deck out my hypothetical raven dog. I've never done a dedicated dress up where I incorporate a ton of items, and what better pet to start with than my favorite pet in the game?

Choosing only one thing to be grateful for always proves to be quite difficult for me, although I'm sure my past self would be completely surprised by this. I used to be an extremely negative person, and I still struggle with it here and there, but learning to appreciate what I have and treasure what I've been given has been a major stepping stone in changing my perspective for the better. Overall, it's important to be proud of yourself for any progress you make at improving! I'll just list off some things that come to mind quickly as it's so hard to narrow down... my loved ones who are there for me day in and day out, being able to spend time and live with my little brother, having a cat who always brightens up my mood when I'm down, being able to enjoy my favorite foods from time to time, and all the little happy moments in between that keep me going. A little appreciation goes a long way, and I think gratitude is so important, especially after struggling with it for years. I try my best to not take anything in my life for granted, and I think it's helped me a lot in moments where I feel more down on my luck. ;w;

For a more... time specific thing, I'm grateful to have a winter break... really, school has been so difficult lately and I'm just elated to have the chance to finally relax!! This week has been so incredibly hectic and I'm so relieved break is starting now.. I enjoyed working on this entry in my free time sparingly throughout the week, it was a bit cathartic in a way ^^

Image

Image♥ 𝕺𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 ♥Image

I've been drawing more than ever the past month, and I'm so happy to be able to again! Even though I struggle a lot and I'm still learning, I try my best to enjoy the process!! What I mean to say by this is that this giveaway came along at the perfect time and I was ecstatic to see that you were giving us the option to draw!! And I loved an excuse to practice something I haven't much at all (I actually don't think I've properly drawn wings once in my life OTL) so this was so much fun!!


HQ/static version here!

shining bright
a dangerous thing
an unconscious struggling fight
it’s the nature
of optimists
to destroy the shadows of the night

by the moon
a fleeting blur,
a true jet black fright
softest feathers,
shining fur
beats wings up in graceful flight

so admired
your dull eyes are
lifeless green and gold
how adored
your plumage is
cunning black so bold

a wandering mind
far, far away from me
through the forest on rabbit-light feet
a hopeless venture, I know
but perhaps
one day, we’ll meet


Image

I hope you like it!!! ^^


And one last thing... Thank you so much for the opportunity, Shep!! I'm sure whoever is able to win will be so, so happy. On top of hosting so many giveaways for users here, you've helped me get a few pets that I will cherish for all of my time on this site, and I appreciate it endlessly. I also was so so happy about you giving my favorite person in the world a lovely gift as well- I thought I'd just thank you for that again to emphasize how much it meant to me because it really made both of our days!! And that aside, thank you lots for making a lot of people here happy! I've seen so many users thanking you for your generous gifts♥

I hope you can tell I had so much fun making this entry ^^;; I think I may have gotten carried away but I was so excited. At this point I'll cherish this experience no matter what... every aspect of this was a blast honestly!!

Thank you for considering and best of luck to everyone!
Happy Holidays, Shep! I sincerely wish you well!! I appreciate your patience with everyone here :]

Why do you want it? because I love it's colour palette (I love white themed pets)
Name one thing that could make the world a better place: for everyone to be more accepting, not judge anyone by their appearance, fashion style and hobbies. It would really help grow everyone's confidence to be themselves and not worry about people judging them. It hurts me seeing people hide themselves and even I because of today's society, I hope in the future it'll get better!
