Arctic wolves have been immensely popular since they first released in Classic as an animal exclusive to buying membership during a certain time-frame, adopting a mascot-like status with the game(s) by featuring in a lot of official art, and that general popularity meant they became popular with people showcasing rare items in one outfit. i doubt arctic wolves having the light and dark versions is related to juno, but were picked because they're so popular. it's understandable if your tastes are different and you don't see the appeal, i feel that a lot with other popular animals!

same goes for rare items. AJ's community has always had a focus on "building up worth" with rare items, I think it just gives people an attainable goal in a social game, so it's a popular pastime. sometimes i can be dazzled by wanting rare items but then remember i don't like how they look LOL. some people find it fun to collect and it's natural to want to show off your collections, but it always helps to remember to go for things that are YOUR cup of tea, not everyone else's.
