August Discussion Thread

For once I got one cocoon, awesome!

With my luck though the rest will all turn into the same outcome.

I adopted late -like always-, thus I still have all caterpillars there's still hope for a cocoon.

I just love the calico kittens, by the way! Their colours are so soft, don't you think?

That is because they are dilute calicoes. Cream & grey/lilac rather than the classic red/orange & black classic calico. I would post pics but I am on my phone, look them up ^^

that's awesome! im hoping one of them looks like a cat I used to have

I have 3 cocoons ! I just know I'll be missing some outcomes later. I hope people will trade when it happens.

Oh well, at least I have both pps kittens and I managed to trade for the 3rd gen outcome I was missing. I also hope none of the third gens will split because I don't have any spare.

The store pets are beautiful.
They particularly remind me of something I have seen before but can't put my finger on it.

Whew, I'm finally caught up with this thread!! |D

I was looking through the archives today and I realised that four/six months so far this year I've hoarded a Yağmur pet, and a bunch of them last year too. I'm not sure when it happened but it seems they just sort of became one of my favourite artists without me ever really realising it. Needless to say this is one of my favourite store pet sets in a long, long time - they're absolutely gorgeous and there's something so ethereal about them that I can't get enough of!!
All that gushing aside, given that new realisation on my part I'm also really excited for the foals they did this month:

and these guys too:

I'm also both a big Sorren fan and dilute calico fan - I've been working on a dilute callie OC of my own for a while now, so I'm really excited that we got not one but two EPPS on my favourite lineart on the site, and that we get grown ones too!! Not to mention the possibility of a little August lion lurking around, wouldn't that be havoc

I don't really like how every.single.month starts with a cocoon growth...
It's-most of the time-the same thing...

And, I don't know...I think it would be pretty neat to have a different growth to start off the month...?
Maybe we can have maybe a cat growth on day 1, and then have the cocoons a little bit later on with the other growths together since we end up having multiple growths a day after about a week....?

I can see that's been pretty common, but not every month starts off with cocoons, if you check the archives for just this year; hamsters, and chickens have also started off the month before. Generally I think they save the more popular breeds of water in the month but I don't know the logic behind it.

It says on each of the species' adopt pages how long it usually takes for them to grow fully, and bwolves are the fastest at 20 days. Bwolves just are a faster growing species. (:

I'm actually glad I got the Day 1 bw, I normally don't get it. xD
Woot! Woot!

[arabella !!]

oh my god, these are so cute!?!?!

I agree! <3

[mocha chip]

I don't have any growths tonight. How about everyone else?

[Aliria]

I don't have any growths tonight. How about everyone else?

I don't either, so it's possible there are no growths tonight. Seems weird though, usually there's something every day.

I just had this guy say hi ...
