Staff Litter 2022 Discussion Thread

[Avianahelena]

question for those of you who have been here for previous staff litters (since i quit in 2017 and only came back a couple months ago), how do you keep organized with what you need to trade for? since there's so many pups and outcomes i don't want to touch anything or ask for anything until there's an updated archive for fear of missing something.

The monthly outcomes thread (September Outcomes Thread, this month) has always been very helpful to me. I move my newly-de-blanketed babies into their own group and check against the Outcomes thread to make sure I got everything I was supposed to. Obvs they can't predict splits, but since Staff pups don't split, then it's a good method for this.

I put one of each outcome in one group and any duplicates in a separate group

thank all y'all for the replies. all of them are very helpful! has it been proven from previous years that staff pup outcomes don't split? So even if it's not fully grown I don't have to worry about it?

Staff pups don't split, each person does their own outcome

Thought I'd answer some questions on my pup c:

#2: Does your staff dog resemble you in any way?
#3: How did you come up with the idea for your staff dog?
#4: Which of this years’ staff dog(s) do you like the most?
#6: Will your staff dog have line edits?
#7: Does your staff dog have a name? 👀

2. Not really, mines a bit weird this year, little more outside my interests/aesthetics than normal, but still a cutie pie c:
3. Like most years, just messing around with stuff until I settled on something I liked. I never have plans for these.
4. mm, of the ones I've seen, I really like Koikee and Yağmur's!
6. Yes
7. No I'm very terrible choosing names

3: Does your dog prefer night or day?

Night!

1. if your dog had an aura, what color would it be?
2. which season does your dog resonate with most? (fall, winter, spring, summer)
4. does your dog believe in ghosts/other supernatural beings?
5. if your dog had the choice to explore a different planet, which would it choose?
7. which genre of books/movies does your dog prefer?

1. Probably like, neon green or teal tbh
2. Fall
4. No
5. A planet in this solar system or....?
7. Sci-fi, but like the nerdy kind

A. Does your pup have wings, or the ability to fly, or wish to fly?
B. Does your pup have an interesting backstory? have they been through events that drastically changed their lives? Is there lore behind them?
C. Does your pup have symbolic meanings?

a. No
b. I have no lore for them cause I'm lazy, but yeah probably
c. None of mine have symbolic meanings. I feel called out :C

just me or does this guy looks like it has cell-like drawings on the fur? i see doodles of what look like nucleolus, nucleus, mitochondria, and possibly endoplasmic reticulum and/or golgi apparatus?

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

I'm going to believe that this one is Desmond's because of the orca-like markings unless proven otherwise.

You know, that is fair.

[Avianahelena]

I'm going to believe that this one is Desmond's because of the orca-like markings unless proven otherwise.

But Desmond has done cetacean-based outcomes twice before--I don't think there will be a third.

But there are so many cetaceans that I could do
Belugas and humpbacks and strap-tooths and risso's and blues and rights and hourglass dolphins and white sided dolphins and spotted dolphins and false killer whales and and and ---!!!!

I mean, it's true there's a whole lot of awesome source material there. But this pup also doesn't seem to be highlighted in your style, either, so... **idk shrug**
