Results of the Item Drive
Arr wha' a night! I feel like I’ve ‘ad a cannon t' me nethers. TWO cannons, t' be precise, 'cause look wha' a surprise haul I had. A new meanin' t' th' term motherload! Two cubs - I don’t reckon Carl was ever a real Doc at all, the scurvy dog, tellin’ me it were just th’ one. I blame me ‘ormones in believin’ the scoundrel. Turned out this wee pink one was quite th' sensitive scallywag, barely kickin' at all. His big sister be th' one wit' enough hair on her chest t' make her mother proud! Earned me sea legs wit' these two, I did. Me 'n Angrybeard decided t' name th' wee dusk poppet Brunhilde th' Blue, 'n th' wee dawn lad Bloodhungry. Hopefully he’ll grow into th' name.
Anyway, if ye're jus' here fer forum titles ye should find that ye 'ave it by now! If ye wants some stats, ‘ere’s ‘ow each colour made out:
Dusk: 22,677
Dawn: 16,888
Cherry: 15,867
Field: 13,087
Lilac: 10,548
Gold: 10,141
Twilight: 9,768
Arid: 8,940
Sun: 7,222
Cream: 6,941
Aqua: 4,814
Marsh: 4,015
Silver: 3,591
Now, back to th' grind fer me!
Translation: What a magical experience! My love blooms like two cannons! Yes, TWO, for I was hit with quite the surprise - I had two cubs instead of just the one that dear fellow Carl insisted I was having. I’m not sure he was ever really a doctor like he mentioned. Anyway, it turned out that this dear little pink cub was quite the sensitive one, barely kicking at all. His big sister is the one with enough hair on her chest to make her mother proud! Angrybeard and I have decided to name the little dusk girl ‘Brunhilde the Blue’, and the little dawn boy ‘Bloodhungry’. We think he’ll grow into his name!
If you were wondering about that forum title I promised for participating in the drive - you should have it by now! If you're interested in the stats as to what was donated, the breakdown is just above the translation!
Thank you for alll of your help - it's back to work for me!

1. The Blue/Girl and Pink/Boy makes me so happy. Breaking down stereotypes. YUS.
2. Babette's new Avatar is stunning.
3. I was going for cherry, but this is great!

@Rah Nah, that's actually just a persistent misspelling (much like how the term "jury rigged" gets mixed up with "jerry built" so people sometimes say "jerry rigged" without even realizing it's wrong). We could go into prescriptivism vs. descriptivism, and thereby also end up adding "alot" to the dictionary (and not in a hyperbole-and-a-half sense), but in any actual publication, "motherload" is not correct at all. Pirate dictionaries are, clearly, written by pirates, and they are not grammarians!

P.s. better keep them away from Mori and Nori with backstory/colors like that. Or perhaps you need at least Mori's advice on avoiding that outcome :p

Aww, I really wanted something arid/silver over a bright color, but they're still cute. They're just quite bright. Especially since Babette is already orange.
Glad we went with more than 1, and the updated NPC stuff is cute AF. I hope they continue to 'grow'/show up elsewhere c:

So my dusk donations paid off, great. :D But the pink one is a boy and the blue one a girl? Congrats.

I now want a pirate snuggly. Mine are teens, so they would likely object, but come on....pirate sling ftw!

@thoughtful - My sources tell me that Motherload "refers to when the largest amount of booty is successfully located" and is an old pirate term!

"A new meanin' t' th' term motherload!"
mother lode - a rich source of something
I know she's a pirate and therefore her English is terrible, but there is no such word as "motherload," sheesh.

For some reason, I was thinking "Wait, that baby' would be a Gemini, what of they're twins"... And I got it right? Also, the pink one being the boy and the blue one being the girl... Watch as the pink one grows up to be a scientist named Bloodhungry. And the little girl will be a fierce pirate, even more than her dad.

Good to see my vending went to a good cause. :Þ I wanted dusk/blue and it looks like I wanted it just hard enough. It's an added bonus we got the little pink lad. Dying because I forgot about the Carebears even tho I had the pink one and my sister had the blue one. LOL Man, memories with these guys.

Bloo as a name for the little pink gentleman makes me laugh.
And Bru. Brew? Perfect for a pirate saloon cub. Her daddy named her, didn't he?

Aww they're adorable! And what a neat baby carrying wrap, I wish mine was that cool XD Won't that be a sight, Babette carrying around ale and noms in her pub with two li'l cubs claspted to her chest. I'm so glad one was dusk - I was hoping for either blue or purple XD But this duo is just too adorable, dawn and dusk. Love it.

BLOODHUNGRY ♥️
Users are salty over blue and pink even though blue has the most individual items (and there was/is a large number of them in the DC) and pink/dawn is one of the most commonly used colors.
I went with (dominantly) pink because I like it and I wanted a pink baby boy.

Wearing a couple of bears to celebrate. Cute! I donated for cream, but I'm glad I didn't go all-out looking at those numbers :P

AH! I think Babette has become my favorite NPC! I mean she was hard core before, but, twins? Working mom? Baby wearing? Working mom while baby-wearing twin bears??!! Go Babette! <3 This was definitely a fun little drive. I wish I had donated more but I couldn't decide what color to donate for. XD The adorable babies on her HA and character art are definitely the best part in my eyes. And fantastic name choices guys! ^_^ *all the love* <3 <3 <3

I read the news and then was like "Wait, where are they? I wanna see them!" and it took me a good 5 minutes to notice the little guys...

Imagine if one of the cubs becomes a scientist or an engineer.
Not typical in a pirate family but would be lovely to see. Science Bears.

Well, most of what I donated was blue things because that color had the most items in the donation center. Yay for being lazy and not trying for a different color choice? lol

So darn cute, but the thought of "Dr. Carl" makes me shudder... not exactly a shining example of what to look for in an OB/GYN, lol.

Would've really loved Gold and Silver (I tried~), but Dusk and Dawn was my second hope! ;u; TOTALLY EXCITED, AND THEY'RE SO PREEECIOUS. I am -elated- that the little guy is Dawn, and his sister is Dusk. *^* Aaaaaa. AAAAA, so wonderful! Congratulations, mama bear! You'll have your hands full, for certain! (Not that it'll drag you down!)

What is the Forum title? Just curious can't tell if I have it or not since I don't know what I am looking for. I am sure I am overlooking that in my reading silly me.

The dusk one is probably my fault because blue stuff kept coming up every time I went to the donation corner XD

I hadn't actually read any of the news posts when the item drive was going... I just read this one and then went back and read the others to find out what was going on, but since I did donate a couple of items I did wind up getting the only prize there was. I'd meant to donate more than I did, but I guess I really didn't lose anything by not.
Also, I'm completely immune to the "cuteness" of this entire thing. Motherhood weirds me out and I don't find the majority of babies cute. I guess I'm glad everyone else is enjoying it, though.

I knew that there would be more than one, and I find it utterly adorable how they are Dusk and Dawn. They'll be keeping the parents up from dusk 'til dawn, that's for sure lol. Congrats to the ma and pa! I can't wait to see what the future holds for those wee cubs.

Loving the fact that the little girl is Dusk, while the little boy is Dawn. Could not have been more perfect!

YES, TWO CUBS.
Brunhilde the Blue is such a great name.
It mean, it's not like Bloodhungry isn't a great name, but it makes me wish that Bloodred would have been an option.

Awwww! These two are so cute! What surprised me wasn't the fact she had twins, but the fact the colours had been changed - the male cub is pink and the little female one is blue! How funny! XD

I have to add that even her NPC character has her two cubs with her, which I think is totally perfect and clever/cute. :-D
I hope these Cubs grow up with roughly the same speed as bears or another related animal in RL.
