1.VOLG
he's just so fun. I love this kind of head shape so much!! He feels VERY early 2000s too, knowing he's from the old app makes so much sense out of his design. I really like the simple appealing markings, too... suuch cute animations, I like his sleep and sits holding face poses.

1. KUROME
   caught my eye immediately, I love her little ZIM hands, and the noise she makes sounds so fussy... her little foots kicking up in her animations, her crawl, all very precious! She's made from the energy of beloved stuffed animals, and a moon-viewing ceremony... nod nod...

2. HOPREX
   a kind of design I feel like I never see, something bipedal like this. I really adore the animations being rabbitlike, twitchy, visibly breathing very quickly, looking around... the sharp teeth inside the mouth are rodentlike, and dark in color, like a dark green? SO captivating, I love watching my Hoprex.... the ear shape is very classic avvy I feel, that kind of smooth swoop, something I would have drawn as a teen. I really love the markings, very animal.

3. MINTS
   kind of unexpectedly stole my heart... such a beautiful face shape, I love how lowww the arms are, how therefor big and long the chest/neck area is. When he goes to stretch, so handsome! I like the large, lumbering, calm animal feel. It contrasts things like HOPREX and HAMLOT so well! Breathe slow.... deep....

4. IKKAKU FEREL
   she is so beautiful... a goat in a petgame is so special!! such a cute choice for a unicorn type of creature. She has such a pretty face shape and looks like a soft blanket. Tiny tiny hoofies... I like her kicky and raise head poses, and her horsey neigh despite being gote.

5. TSUNORIML
   such an unexpected fav... I think if I were looking at a static list of Livly, this teddybear-like creature doesn't hold much interest... but there is so much to love in its animations, its behaviors!! I love the darting around, nervous eyes, scampering, pressing its horn into the ground to feel vibrations...! So unique and so cuuute! I love that when when you pick them up, they hiss... ooo a finicky feeling nervous animal. wary...

6. HAMLOT
   my beloved...my first Livly... ohhhh sooo perfect little puffball, very rapid tiny breaths, tappy tappy paws, playful tail, prefers to be held by strong tail and not body. Cute asymmetrical spot... such a perfect design!! Simple perfection! I love how the coat color changes with bugs as well, I love the gradual loss of color, and retaining hues in the stripes on the tail.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Juraphant, Bizoo.... love them dearly.

THE ABSOLUTE BOTTOM... I'M SORRY!!

1. PAKIKE
   she is so forehead... I like her animations, though, make me laugh. Her funny little slay step. I would not want to ever own the forehead goat though.. unfortunately Hanapakike really upstages her, and has even cuter animations... I'm so sorry girl...

2. MIMIMAKI MUKUNE
   ughhh it feels obvious and unfair... she is so ugely... she has no appeal...unlike pakike, I don't even care for her animations... now on the old site there was for some reason a more slay version of her that was just, prettier...? why did they make you minimaku mukune... I'm sorry you look like that

3. KUMPA
   in this world where we have many teddy bears, Kumpa is the least of all of them... I can't even see myself personally owning a pygmy or neo pygmy, but they are a little more distinct for me, especially the neo... Kumpa really look like he would be upon a candy wrapper... very, basic panda. I am sad the fussy/bad temperament trait was given to it, I would really prefer that attitude on any other Livly... I like fussy animals...! sigh...

4. VOLF
   ohhh I just get so sick of seeing 200 of them all the time,, it feels like everyone has a Volf.. .I wish I could go and play the game before Volf exists so I can see what people have if they DON'T have the Cool Wolf option. I wish we had Orff instead of Volf...it looked funnier.
   I think when I look at it without hate in my heart, I would like to interpret its anatomy as surprisingly more rabbitlike or even mustelid... the old model walked very close to the ground and flat on its foots??? I like how prone to sit... I know kid Avvy would have liked it a lot, her heart likes ninetales. But in the modern day Im like "I GET IT EVERYONE LIKES A COOL GOTH WOLF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and immmm bored... I feel no real delight when Volf is selected, its like OK... whatever.... but when I see someone has a Hanamaki or Hana aruki, I am like INTERESTING!!! HMMM!!! I SEE!!! Im tired of seeing slay vampires with their slay 3 wolves all big on the screen... get a rat already!!!

5. OGRE
   its just so big it frightens me when someone has 3 of these and multiple people on my list do. So big. It carry the Hom in arm when paired. Sometimes they not smile and stare off vacantly and Whim and I cannot determine why this is... when this is... frightening. I respect however that Japan respects, the ogre/oni concept. Nods nods. The important creature, its cute to feel fondness for it, when I see girlies with their beloved pink Ogre I am like, you must be an interesting girl... [afraid of the big man] [must get my little rat out of here]....

honorable middle category of 'like the air, doesn't exist to me' are Otsuno Watake, the sheep ... its kinda like Kumpa to me but, it's cuter than a panda at least and a lil more inneresting to see... but I liek can barely remember it is there.
Hari Nikoge is so Just a Hedgehog like ah almost no bells or whistles it is so direct, as a result I forget it is a livly... I don't see it much either. I wish it just had a lil more pazazz to it, a lil more silly or wild... like a really fun animation or something... longer snozzle to snoffle with... longer ears.... anything. Leafs me wanting....

MY IDEAL LIVLY!?!?!?!! HMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! ahhhhhhh I would like something rough-coated, furry, big... something hulking, beest... visibly breathing heavy, deep, mouth open... I really like Furdot's bespoke markings, I would love to see something with perhaps alternating banding stripes all down the body... or something like diamonds all over like a liepard, or triangles...
In the old Livly Castle, there is this large, dragonish platapus like beast, which resembles mushicho...! I really love its proportions, almost mustelid like... I wish she could come back in some form, even just a derivative Livly that is small!!!!

OHHH MY OTHER IDEAL LIVLY IDEA IS LIKE SWIRLIX OR A FURBYYYY I want something with only 2 feets, fluffy, I would love it to bounce around and float kinda like kemari floats hehe... I would like parrotlike animations and behaviors!!!! do a little dancey...!!!

Something skinny/tall would be very fun, I would really like something stork or heron-like! The only birdlikes we have are very round and smalls, I want a loooong neck! Much like Madarakaga has fur despite looking reptilian, I'd be charmed by such a birdish livly with distinct mammal traits like fur, eors, fangs....

Surprised nothing has a tanuki-like flavor...made out of fuzzy balls connected.

Favorite island sseeets....
well, the first revive I got I used on the Gummy Flower Seedbed...
I loved the lore of it, about trying to experiment to create a superior Livly species, by utilizing sentimental, beloved objects, like old plush toys... the Gummy Flower sprouting from this. It has a perfect colorscheme and a very unique vibe. I like when things really tie into Livly Island's research facility angle...

overall, I love FREAKY DESIGN's islands often, such as the Mandrake one! Which is another bizarre, isolated research facility of dubious intentions...? It's just so unique and captivating, a lot of totally out-there looks and accessories.
Some islands are more predictable or what you'd expect from a dollhouse... I like curveballs. Even if I wouldn't necessarily want more than the tree from this, I really like to look at it. I like the colorscheme a lot! Pink and green and gold...

I like the lore of the Love Laboratory island, though I don't see myself using any of it. There's a lot of ominous text about dubious research...?? All the heart monitors and heart themes.... it's very spooky and nefarious seeming, why is the Love Laboratory like this, what were we doing here, how are we defining love... it's not as cutesy as you would think... very stimulating. I like that Hamlot comes from this, iyaaa she's made of love... ! alchemy..........

Lolita Crafts Island is a faaav I really wanna pull on some day! All the lore is just two sisters playing crafts together, making things.... the individual items will state what the big sister and little sister made... who did what... very sweet, feel fond of it, imagining sisters playing with Livlies together... I'm not usually into lolita fashion, but I feel this island leans more to simple, cute, childish looks and not so much the almost gothic abundance clutter kinda look of more high tier lolita... feels more like what some kids could accomplish.
