[catmother456]

I was talking about what outcome might be Koikee’s with catmother456 and we came to a realisation…

We think this is Koikee’s outcome!

I originally had thought it was this outcome, because of the stars and the fact that their outcome last year had flowers as well, but then I realised that there was a flaw in that theory because they said that their outcome this year was more edited than their previous outcomes… meanwhile it actually has less line edits than their other outcomes, and is unlikely to be theirs.

Then catmother pointed out that this outcome was very edited and could be theirs, and then I noticed that there’s actually lots of little stars in their fur! You might have to turn up your brightness to see it, they are most obvious on the tail. This outcome would make sense because they have hinted that their outcome is themed after stars and loves to adventure, and they also said that their outcome doesn’t have pink paws - and this outcome doesn’t!

It took me quite a while to figure this out, but Koikee confirmed this on discord once I saw it. There are actually TWO denials in this post. The one is obvious, posted for all to see, but also, the other is in the link that chaoticaura posted, which leads to this pup



so for people like me who kept thinking maybe this second pup could be Koikee’s, it is not. And that is w hoy Koikee said we missed a denial, because we did.

EE I hate to dissapoint but I will say the hearts aren't related to the corresponding letters 👀

so the non-hearted pups are the letters we need? or are there matching pups in a different group who we need to find? please omg ur hints are torturing me
i spent like hours trying to work out what March 2022 🌱🍃🌱🍃 meant. searched all your march 2022 posts, march 2022 pets you own, march 2022 pets in archive. google searched too. tried making sense of the staff pet letters and failed that too. do you have any hints for your hints? this pet does not feel 8/10 easy to guess. i think i may simply accept defeat pfft rip

Oh let me clarify, the hearts have nothing to do with the letters they're attaches to or any other letters (im not smart enough to be that cryptic ehhh LOL)


And I SUPPOSE I'll be more clear with that one; by adding another date to the collection earlier than intended 😁😁
also the dates are something cs related, no outside world or personal events
IT IS AN 8/10 especially when full grown I SWEAR

i dont think the transparent text here was ever noticed? and "September 2022 🫐💛🫐💛" has now appeared on the about our team page. ive done a bit of digging and found some things that may correlate with the given months but also may not, im just throwing spaghetti at the wall cos im stubborn like that

March 2022🌱🍃🌱🍃 - returned from a nearly year long hiatus, it was also announced in a news post that staff applications would be opening soon (opened the following month), but i think the hiatus return is more likely. also leaf and sprout emojis could mean a fresh start or new life?
July 2022 ⭐💧⭐💧 - their very first designs as a guest artist were released in the Summer Event, emoji meaning dunno
September 2022 🫐💛🫐💛 - dont have a solid idea for this one but the picnic item set was released this month which couldd be important considering Fleshs emphasis on berries thus far? also emojis, reoccuring berry theme (specifically blueberries, which could be the pups favourite berry) and uhh yellow hearts dunno

Question for all:

Does your pet have a name?

Oh, no. but I will think of one promptly I didn't think about that 👁👄👁
but it is based off of some names
Edit: I've decided the pup is named Europa

and i dont think anyone realised the name post had been edited! *now hear me out* theres a game set to release in 2024 called Europa because its set on the moon Europa duh, and has suuper nature-y themes which has also been a major subject in Fleshs hints. the game also recently dropped a new trailer n a demo which could match it up to the "is inspired by recent events" hint

ive got absolutely nothing so far for all the random letters


did any of this help me narrow done which pup i think it is? nope! but maybe if i throw enough spaghetti at the wall itll eventually resemble em! thats how that works also please dont tell me this was already discussed on discord n that i spent several hours sleuthing for no reason /lh im so sleepy now

[Zeena]

Nobody's posted about them yet tonight, but I wanted to share this dog that grew tonight from the green d1 pup! I love the texture along their back and tail.

Of course, I have to put in an obligatory guess that this is Zeena's pup, since they have no lineart edits, haha.

Not mine! c:

Does not matter

[~Trompy]

I’d like to try to guess Trompy’s pup. I’m leaning towards this one



I was looking at their profile and noticed that one of their interests is Breyer horses. I saw they like Dragon Cave (makes me think of the dragon outcome), horses, and cats. Looking through their artwork I saw a lot of horses/unicorn, and cats. I would highly recommend looking as they are really good!. Looking back at their posts, this is what I thought:

* minty toes - this pup has some green in their toes so could be minty
* Unwell by Matchbox 20 - though some say this pup looks sad, maybe it is just a “little unwell”
* I can see this pup eating Toaster Strudel I can see me eating them, too!
* And when I first looked at this pup, I noticed the beautiful, long, flowing tail, and it made me think of a horse
* Trompy made zebras from Valentine’s Day which fits with their interests of the equine line

So this is why I’m thinking maybe this is Trompy’s. And I figured, we will neither get a confirmation or a denial unless we post, so here it is.

I said the same thing!!! A while back. I really think it's trompys!

- snip -

Second Candidate: ~Trompy
I can definitely see it reflecting them, and being null gender.
Definitely has lineart edits.
Using lots of colors, prob whole palette!
Idk about the night thing though, but sure, she could like the night!
Creator guessing, lots of small stars. They seem to use small stars or dots in many many of their designs, so maybe?
Definitely have minty toes
Isn't really inspired by mythology.

So that's as far as i got lol, i can't wait to see who might have designed this pet!

looking at some of trompy's more heavily edited pets (specifically the valentine's zebras and the store deer) i really think this one matches their shading style a lot ! it's definitely a guess i share now

I wanted to wait until we had a few more guesses, but I knew mine would be pretty easy to sus out xD Your deduction skills are top notch, I can confirm this is my pup! <3 It is heavily inspired by my favorite song "Unwell" by MB20, and this stage of the pup is very much "Just a little Unwell"

Maybe "stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me"
