GIMME THAT PICKLE YO- I mean... May I please have the pickle?

Username: tawnypelt3

Why do you want this pet? First of all, because my main goal on CS is to collect one of every pet, and this would be a huuuuuge step forward for me. I'm not planning on ever trading the pickle off, as I never, EVER, trade away a pet I only have one of, I'm just saying that achieving even one more List pet, whether it be Advent or Main List, is a gigantic milestone for me. And secondly, pickles are my favorite food. Ever. Pickles have always been my favorite. My mom tells me I used to have a pickle every day when I was little. I don't eat so many of them now, as recipes have changed and they taste a little different, so finding a brand I like whenever the old one changes is a bit trying. Plus, they have a very high salt content. c; Anyway, I used to dribble the juices all over myself, and I still tend to drip the juices down my fingers and hand when I eat them. Pickles are just so amazing. Check out my picklebun hoard! 8D Personally, I don't know why they're so grumpy. Pickles make me smile, not frown!

Will you trade it? Nope. I never trade away a pet I only have one of, no matter how much I'm offered, as that sets me back in my goal.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want it? I dunno, 8? I can't say 10, no matter how much I love pickles, as I'm not really the excitable type. I just don't get worked up about most things. A few things here and there, but for the most part, I don't get excited. There's plenty of things in real life, rather than on the internet, that I can find excitement in, anyway. c: Like real pickle jars. Mmmmm, yeah....


Will you name it/dress it up? Explain. I'd probably name him something obvious, like "Pickle!" because I love pickles and that's the way I'd want him to be. As for dressing him up, probably something silly, like my PPS cocoon:

Image
Pet's name: Sir Mah Birfday

Yeah, I don't know. That's just how he ended up. Can't you just see him saying something spiffy? Like "I say, old chap, this cake looks delicious!" or "Ah, yes, what would an enjoyable birthday be without blowing out the candles on my birthday cake? Make a wish! *blows out candles, mustache fluttering in the breeze*" Anyway, I'd probably give Pickle a garden-type scene; perhaps in a pumpkin patch (I can't think of any other vegetable items on CS....), and all the pumpkins are wondering what the frustrated and wrinkly cucumber is doing there. Maybe he's grumpy 'cause he's been pickled and thus is no longer a "fresh vegetable?" Dunno. Just sounds good to me. If I could, I'd make him the star of the picnic!


How many Main List/September List/Advent List pets do you own? What, do I really have to count? :c Rnnn... 1 Above-Gap Main, 1 Below-Gap Main, 13 Septembers, and 41 Advents (if I got that right). Of those, 10 I adopted myself (a few of them re-releases), 3 or 4 were gifts, 1 or 2 were won in contests, and all the rest were either paid for with C$ or with fodder I bought with C$, lots and lots of C$.

Anything else? Nope, just thanks for this wonderful chance. c: Probably won't win just 'cause I'm such an old user, but *shrug* won't find out if I don't try. And like I would miss out on the chance to try for a pickle, of all things.

I was hacked. Not going to remake all my groups and such unless I feel like it. That's a lotta work. Don't bother with trades, everything's a mess.

Why do you want this pet? It is so awesome, and i've never had a rare pet before, it's just so, OMG AWESOME.

Will you trade it? (Be honest, I might still say no if you say no) I would never even dream of trading this amazing thing.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want it? 11 :'D

Will you name it/dress it up? Explain. Of course, I would name it Steve, and give him a little bowtie. :3

How many Main List/September List/Advent List pets do you own? {Feel free to edit this part as you may get more} None, sadly.

P.S: I love your avatar by the way. Adventurous Adventures Of One Direction FTW.

Welcome to my application for your insanely rare vegetable. If pickles are considered vegetables. As you can probably tell, my application is insanely long. But you said detail is good so I should be very good, right? So here we go!



Image


Hoshimaru here~! My username is a remnant of my anime addicted days and, due to my creativity, it stuck. I know you didn't ask for specific details about me but you want to make sure I'm not just trying to win Mr. Cucumber to auction him off so I think you should know a bit more about me. Also, I don't plan to name him Mr. Cucumber. It just doesn't flow off the tongue right.

Anyway, as you can see, I'm pretty new to CS. I joined sometime in the middle of February (the 17th or the 18th depending on your timezone) but have managed to get a ton of pets since including two major dreamies and a billion minor ones. We won't talk about all the time I've had to spend on CS to get all of them. (Pretty much every last one was free. I lurk the CS Free Adoptions forum like a hunter stalking its prey.) That's serious dedication.

Some of my goals on CS are to obtain one of each of the bunnies on Chicken Smoothie, finish my "Unique PPS Pets" collection, and to collect all the UR fruits, the UR Flower Pot...and the UR vegetable? What's a cucumber/pickle exactly?

As for me off of CS, I'm a self-proclaimed artist and graphic designer. I love to draw more than anything but I'm pretty bad at it so I make websites and all instead. I actually plan to major in graphic and website design in college. I spend most of my time on the internet at the moment, though, since I don't have much homework. In all actuality, Chicken Smoothie is a total distraction from my schoolwork. But one that I need. You have no idea how important de-stressing is after a day at my school.

Also, I have a mini-goal of convincing my mom that I deserve a bunny. I like to pretend that she'll agree once I collect one of every bunny on CS. I have bunny issues. But that's not what we're here for~!




Image


Like I said above, I want to obtain all of the UR fruits. I really like the more interesting pets on CS that are different from the every month ones. Sure the designs are always different but there are some pets that are one-of-a-kind or only have a handful of them in existence (like the PPS rats and the PPS bat-dogs). Granted not all of these unique pets are rare but I'm interested in them because they're different in other aspects. There are dozens of dogs and cats and even bunnies on the rares list and even more designs on the site. There's only one cucumber/pickle design.
The pickle and its bunny counterpart wrote:Image

And then there's the fact it's angry.

I think the cucumber/pickle is the only unhappy pet on the site minus it's bunny counterpart. But even the bunny looks more sad than angry.

Though it's a small detail, it makes you wonder. Is the pickle unhappy because you stuffed it in a jar of vinegar for a few months or is it just naturally grumpy?



Image

Though I hate calling pets "it", this is just one of those pets that can't really be gendered. No one can look at a pickle and say "That's definitely a girl pickle". So, unfortunately, it's an it. Unless I used the whole "call it a 'he' when you have no idea what it is rule". This must be debated farther.

But I'm going off topic. I would have to say "no". Not only do I suck at trading (the cucumber/pickle is so far up the main list I would never be able to figure out what he's actually worth unless I traded it for the Banana and I like the cucumber/pickle more) but it's one of the hardest pets to obtain. If someone was to just give him to me for free, I'd cherish that gift. In all honesty, I'd be pretty ticked if I gave someone a UR Cucumber and then they went off and traded it for anything other than pets higher on the list. I could probably get all the bunnies on CS for the Cucumber but then I wouldn't have the Cucumber.



Image

I would say about a 9. Though I really want the cucumber, I still love the bunnies more. I still wouldn't trade it for bunnies, of course, since there are much better ways to get all the list bunnies than trading a cucumber but, at this time, I can't say it's my "super-duper-ultimate dreamie".


Image

I know you asked will I name it and dress it up but there's more to a pet than just that.

First, I would put him in my "Never For Trade" group here and try to figure out a name for him. As you can see, most of my pets don't have names. Even my bunnies and PPS pets aren't named. I'm very picky about the names that I give my pets. Rather they're something funny or cute or so insanely ridiculous that they just seem to fit (Mr. Tree, Mr. Derp, and Mr. Pickle the rabbit), each name means something or the pet was already named and I kept it. (Precious in mt NFT group looks just like my pet cat named Precious.)

So, for the moment, he would keep the name "Harley ♥".


As for dressing him up, that's going to be a pain but it will be done. Dressing up any pet
besides dogs is hard enough but the unusual pets, nothing is ever made specifically for
them. But I'm up for the challenge. I love to dress my pets up and have dressed up my
PPS Cocoon so I know it can be done. It's just a matter of finding the right items.

I'm not sure what I would add to him yet, but I will add an angry vein to complete his
angry look. If it works, I'll also put him in a fish bowl as a sort of pickle jar. Though,
of course, I'll do what I can with the items I have. Like I said, I'm pretty new and
a lot more people seem to be willing to give away pets than items.

Dress Up Time! wrote:Image




Image

From what I know, I only own a single Advent List pet, my PPS Cocoon, and two main list pets (The 09 UR Dog and a Speckled Rat). However, I'm planning on trading my UR Dog for either a UR Butterbun or, if I'm lucky enough to win one from a giveaway I entered, for the lower list buns that I'm missing. The rat will go towards the same cause.

The title says that I only have one because, at the start of this giveaway, I only did have one. People have recently given me amazing gifts that I'm incredibly grateful for.



Image

Thanks so much for the opportunity. I'm pretty sure you know how awesome you are for giving away such a rare pet for absolutely free but yeah, you're awesome.

Username: ladythegreat

Why do you want this pet? Because it's so different then the rest, and i like my collection to be interesting :)

Will you trade it? (Be honest, I might still say no if you say no): nope, it would be a aprt of my collection :)

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want it? probably an 8,5 .. I'm still kind of new and i'm still getting to know everything and getting a feel for rarities and everything. :)

Will you name it/dress it up? Explain. I will name it, of course. Every creature in my collection will be named. At the moment i'm still a bit swaped with all the new pretties, but they will all be named! :D As for the dressing up, probably not. I didn't see anything that it would fit (could be i just didn't see it yet, but still), i would leave it be natural. :)

How many Main List/September List/Advent List pets do you own? {Feel free to edit this part as you may get more} None, i think. o.o

Anything else?

Username: Bunny Company

Why do you want this pet? I don't have a list pet and a main list would also be amazing! I love how he looks with all his bumps and lumps and the and I love pickles!

Will you trade it? (Be honest, I might still say no if you say no) I won't for a while but then I might end up trading it for a balloon dog+more because I really want a balloon dog just as much as I want this pickle.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want it? 9/10

Will you name it/dress it up? Explain. I will probably trade for a hat for it and make it look like plushies are eating him and I will give him shocked eyes :lol:

Why do you want this pet? I have always wanted this pet, ever since I first saw him in the archives. I love his grumpy little face and his lumpy green skin. He was one of the first pets I put on my wishlist.

Will you trade it? (Be honest, I might still say no if you say no) No, I never trade pets I only have one of, and I would never trade him, I would keep him and love him forever.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want it? 10! I love this pet to bits!

Will you name it/dress it up? Explain. I would try to think of a suitable name for him,it might take me a day or two to come up with something fitting. I don't think I would dress him up, as I would like to see him in all his glory! I might play with him though, and give him a background or some items to make a scene with, from time to time.

How many Main List/September List/Advent List pets do you own? {Feel free to edit this part as you may get more} I just checked the lists and I have none.

Anything else? Thankyou for the opportunity and good luck to everyone!

Username: The Red Jackal

Why do you want this pet? Because I love this pet, and I love pickles/cucumbers. C;

Will you trade it? (Be honest, I might still say no if you say no) Why would I trade it?! I would never trade this, it's one of my dreamies!!

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you want it? 10, without second thought.

Will you name it/dress it up? Explain. I might name it something, if I can think of a good enough name for it. No, I would not dress it up, because I believe that, most of the time, items can ruin a pet, and also because I want everyone to see that it's this pet!~ c:

How many Main List/September List/Advent List pets do you own? {Feel free to edit this part as you may get more} I don't believe I have any, actually. If so, only one or two.

I'm sorry, the rest of the forum was cut off. The only other thing I would like to say is good luck to every one and Thank you for this opportunity!!~
