Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't normally post things like this, but I decided to try something different for a change.

I don’t think this has been addressed and if it has then I am sorry for another topic about it.

I have been thinking about for a while now ever since Hania Shen’s first brood of children.
The idea of Soq having twins, whether they be identical or fraternal, or even triplets!
I have three generations of twins in my one Soquili family and it always made me wonder if it was possible or even an option.
I have seen twins made before in a breeding, but I’m sure it was at the request of one of the owners. (Though I could be wrong. Wedding stuff is really messing with my brain)

Suggestions:

• Maybe it could be something that goes on breeding forms?
  - A simple line saying something like, “Possibility for twins? Yes or No?:” Nothing too complicated or hard to read.
  
• Something for the colorist to roll for?
  - I don’t think this would be something that is too hard to do either.
  
• Maybe it could be more of a surprise kind of thing?
  - By surprise I mean, it’s completely up to the colorist whether or not they feel like making twins. No rolls needed it’s just up to the colorist to decide!

I’m not trying to make more work for anyone.
So if someone can suggest a simpler way then by all means go ahead.

I know I would like to have the option for my twin Soquili to have the chance to have twins of their own in breedings instead of having to custom them in.

So suggest away!
Because I really am curious about this!

I'm totally for this. ninja

I've always kinda thought it would be cool if this could happen sometimes!

I brought this up in thread once, And I think said I would be okay with twins at the bottom of my form once.

It does make sense Icly.

As I am sure you can guess I am of course giving this idea two thumbs up for approval.

I'm 100% for twins. It happens IRL, it happens ICly in the shop with the givaways and customs....

Personally, I would like if the colorists did some minimal changes: hairstyle or shop accessories on unedited ponies and/or small cosmetic changes on edited ponies - instead of just a straight-up duplication of the photoshop file, but considering that's how most of the twins in the givaways are done I don't imagine that would be a problem.

KInd of on the same note - I've had the idea for a while of a whole breeding event that was focused around twins and triplets.

Basically you KNOW going into the breeding that your babies will be identical twins or triplets (depending on the standard breeding roll). And because of that, colorists would maybe feel comfortable taking on a more breedings than normal. For example, instead of taking on 3 slots (knowing they would have to make 2 or 3 unique foals for each breeding) they may take on 6 slots, knowing they would just have to do 6 unique ponies and then minimal/cosmetic changes to twins.

/random idea

Well technically, all breedings consist of fraternal twins/triplets since they share a womb but not an egg. XD

But I'd be totally for this, so long as the option to opt out is given and there be slight differences between the children, be it hair, color, for males maybe even leg pose? Accessories, etc. I think it'd help the colorists out a lot too.

I think the identical twin option would be amazing especially since I'm questing a pair of identical (accessories and all) hippo Kirin twins.

Edit small things about each twin if you want, but nothing super crazy to where it's not a twin anymore.

Give people the choice to opt in or out.
It would give colorists a little less of a work load as well.

I just think it would be a good option for people.

As for the fraternal twins, TP you are right. I guess I never thought of it like that but it's a good point.
I never really thought of my Soq as twins or triplets. But it definitely is something I will think on.
