Staff Litter 2023 Discussion Thread

[Lounah]

Oh my gosh reynard! You should make hockey jerseys store items! They would be so cute!!

I'mma drop my theory here before i forget!!

I think this is FleshCanvas' pup:

- Flesh's answers to the general questions led me to believe their outcome would have multiple heads or animal parts.
- If you check Flesh's Growing group, you'll see she named the snake-inspired litter they made this month as "huh these look interesting" meanwhile, the bird litter they made are named "Not so much, tbh", which leads me to believe the pup will have something to do with snakes, but nothing to do with birds.
- After seeing those names, i went looking for their snake groups, and i think this might be a clue also, the first two snakes in "introduction to Python" say: "ah, what the dog doin", which could possibly be the snake's reaction to the staff pup? I think that means that even the snakes might find this pup a little bit strange.
- Initially I thought Flesh's Date clues on the Team Page might lead to something outside of chicken smoothie, cause the hint chart says FleshCanvas' outcome is "inspired by recent events" but once i actually checked the original question, i realized that the answer was a bit more broad than that, so i went back looking for ChickenSmoothie stuff that might fit and I think i got it: It's the dates of all of the snake litters that have been released.
Fleshcanvas tried to throw me off when they said "who said there were going to be more dates" but HA! there HAS BEEN MORE DATES! and it was exactly what I predicted >:3 (you can see the dates match up if you check The Archive, and the emojis represent the litter themes, or something else related to them (for example, the first one are seedlings/young plants cause it represents the first ever snake litter made)

Those are all the hints I could gather (i couldn't make sense of the four letter words hint, sorry, maybe they're related to snakes also? current theory is that the pup is based on snake names, and those hint at the snakes in question.)
SO. Why that pup?
- uses all colors
- the way it's divided in sections makes me think it's the most likely pup to change into a chimera once it grows! I'm guessing the tail will be a snake while body and head will be something else, not sure what tho. OR, the pup will turn out to be a mix of a bunch of different snakes?

Please do share your thoughts about this and let me know if you have any other theories, thank yoooou

EDIT: My initial theory was that these are names associated with the staff litter palette's colors, but I just went googling to maybe find out which words have to do with snakes and here's what I have so far:

"king" || Kingsnake
"suns" || There's a thing that can happen to the sun called a "Solar Snake"
"bush" || Bush snake
"coil" || I mean, snakes can coil... but also there's a geology term called snake coils
"ripe" || Snake fruit or Snake Gourd, maybe?
"glow || there's a game called glow snake.... Also, apparently there are some python morphs that can glow in the dark
"leaf" || Leaf-nosed snake
"moss" || I mean, other than that moss/algae covered snake that popped up some time ago, i have nada
"pink" || maybe hinting at a python color?
"frog" || (fiy: do NOT google 'frog snake' ) snakes eat frogs so there's that-

I don't think Codex gave an official name, but i named mine "Nostalgia" after I saw their post about it!
I also really want to know castiiian's and koikee's names!! (otherwise i'll be obligated to name castiiian's pup Lio Fotia-)

To be fair, I said 'my pup' (middle stage) and uh, 'no bunny friend', because this is like... a stamp? a sticker? a signature? It's only a head! It has no body!!!!
Hi! >:3c
