@ *●ƒα∂ιηg ραя¢нмєηт●*: Hungary x Poland is my OTP because of some long-ago RPs with a certain significant other xD
Finding a BA is impossible DX
Even when you'd trade literally all your 717 pets, store items and egg tokens for just a bunch of pixels.
Plus it comes with a sob story:
But you could just cancel or read my sob story xD: Okay, this might be a little long...
But, when I first started CS a little over a year ago, I thought, 'Pixel pets? Fun. I'll just try to get a complete collection, then it's all over.'
I spent a little over an hour marking everything on my wishlist that day, not even caring to look at the pets' rarities, nor their pictures, nor their dates.
I believed I could, at least, get close to a complete collection.
But my heart was never really in getting those pets. Even when I got a Grinner from the Pound, or a Cookie Advent from a leaving user for free, both of which I have since traded away, I never really cared about those pets.
I only cared about showing them off, their sparkle, and not the actual essence of the pet.
And so, you ask, where does the Black Advent come in?
Well, right now.
There was one day when I logged in to CS and took a good look at my pets, all 600-something of them. This was...a few months ago, January 27, actually.
I realized, 'Why do I have all these pets on my WL, all these pets that I own, that I just want to swap and show off? What do I care about them?'
The answer was, Nothing.
But why I'd stopped to think about this, was because that was the day I realized how distant my two best friends were becoming. I was still close to both of them, but one was becoming mega-popular, and the other was beginning to be branded 'uncool' by her.
This also coincidentally happened to be the day I was broken up with.
And I looked at my Wishlist, scrolling down, and the pet that caught my eye was the Black Advent.
It was the simplest pet there, and its design sparked memories that had been residing at the back of my head.
The Black Advent's simplicity reminded me of the same simplicity shared by three growing girls, best friends throughout preschool to now.
The simplicity of the past friendship, uncomplicated and just pure love, just sharing toys and talking about God-knows-what...
Only caring about the 'playdates' that were so few and far between.
But then, I realized that's how collecting all the CS pets was.
It grew more complicated, until I lost sight of what I was really trying to do.
And the design of all those flashy pets was exactly the opposite of the Black Advent.
The flashy design, representing a complicated and falling-apart friendship filled with school, boys, phones, distance...
Realizing, 'I'm the glue keeping my best friends together. When they've always been the ones keeping me together.'
The Black Advent, to sum her up, signifies the simplicity of the friendship me and my best friends used to share. The care and love that used to flow between us...
Also, another memory comes to mind with her.
One time, my crush took me to Dellosso Farms (it's kinda like a Halloween/Christmas theme park, I guess) and his mom was there, and she stopped the car abruptly and their dog slammed against the car door. (Not a hard impact though.)
Their dog looked like the Black Advent, she was named Daisy (my crush sometimes switches mine and his dog's names xD) and she was adorable--having her there was kinda like having the pet I'd always wanted.
And that would also be another reason for my coveting the Black Advent.
Sob story, end
