Hello!
I am here to give a gentle reminder about Breeding Notes when you breed your pets!
First off, artists are not required to follow directions in the notes.
Notes have always been intended to be something to allow users to communicate with artists and gives users a way to provide artists with links to PSDs and color palettes without having the artist start a PM.
Unfortunately, people have also taken advantage of the notes system and treat breedings more like a commission. If an artist receives notes that are treating their breeding like a commission (for example, "the offspring must have X, Y, and Z on it" or "Please use only colors from Parent A and only use the blue from Parent B.") they can message Kaiyo, Vampi, or myself to report it. Users will receive a warning if they are treating a breeding like a commission and giving directions on how an artist should be making their offspring.
Note: Saying something like, "I love Parent A's hair, it's my favorite edit!" or, "Please don't use spiders (or the a specific color, or one thing), I am scared of them!" is not considered giving directions to the artist and you will not receive a warning for things of that nature. When you are listing 2+ things you want on your offspring, or giving suggestions when you use an item that specifically does not need user input (Artist Palette) that is when it begins to be seen as a direction given to an artist.
I also want to note that your prompts for Painted coins should be just that, prompts. You should not have multiple sentences explaining what you would like. A prompt should be a couple of words (10 words maximum) giving the artist a theme for your breeding.
Predictions exist for a reason, if you have a specific outcome in mind for your breeding you should be making predictions and not giving directions to the artist assigned to your breeding.
In other news, Brush Triads are now compatible with Married pairs :)

What if you type in really big letters that you're excited about the breeding and are just thanking the artist within the notes section of the breeding request? Cause I kinda got excited and did that with those Derps, so yeah.. :| ;;; - Lunch

Glad that requesting to avoid a specific color or two isn't considered overkill. I tend to do that on occasion but it's still up to the artist if they follow it.

I agree with the artist thing, seems pointless to ask for certain outcomes in a BREEDING :/
But, anyway, the brush triads seem neat :D
