It's nice to see some long-time forumers are still hanging around! In about four months, my TDNF account will be 10 years old. I feel I've changed drastically from the twelve-year-old who made an account here ten years ago, to the point where listing all the differences could fill an entire book. I'll just note the similarities instead: still obsessed with cats and Xweetoks. Some things never change lol Edit: I just remembered that when I was twelve, I hated the colour pink with every fiber of my being... now liking pink is a major aspect of my personality

USA Supreme Court Bans Abortion .. Your Thoughts ?
Duskitty replied to Angeló's topic in General Chat
That doesn't sound legal. I'm not an expert on US law, but that sounds like her doctors might be attempting to strong-arm her into going along with it without questioning it. I'd strongly recommend that she asks them to provide her with a statement regarding this in writing, and/or get a lawyer ASAP. -
USA Supreme Court Bans Abortion .. Your Thoughts ?
Duskitty replied to Angeló's topic in General Chat
That's just awful. They're outlawing (hormonal) contraception as well, even if you've had the device implanted prior to the ban? Can you even be forced to remove an IUD against your will? That sounds like a major bodily violation. At this rate it seems like they want people to be forced into having children no matter what. I just can't understand the thought process behind that. Pregnancy should not be an unavoidable 'punishment'. I'm really sorry for you and your fiance - that sounds like a dreadful situation to be in. -
USA Supreme Court Bans Abortion .. Your Thoughts ?
Duskitty replied to Angeló's topic in General Chat
As a non-American I'm quite frankly shocked that less than a dozen people are allowed to make decisions like these, decisions that will affect the lives of millions of people. This is a decision that will result in pregnant people not receiving proper health care, children resented by parents who didn't want them, pregnant people dying in childbirth because of health complications, people forced to seek out unsafe methods of abortion, birth control becoming increasingly difficult if not outright impossible to acquire, impoverished families being unable to properly care for their children, etc. etc. This also sets a major precedent for American citizens' rights. If something like the right to abortion can be so easily overturned, what about other rights, such as gay marriage? Interracial marriage? The right to abortion should be a universal human right, and it's outrageous that the Supreme Court can decide to violate the rights of millions of Americans like this. -
A good day for Hissis! I love the gummy worm snake, and the forked tongue wearable is a first. Glad to see the unnamed famous NPCs getting some love too
-
Darigan is a tad... lacking, but the Roxton outfit is very charming. I can appreciate the hat being separate from the wig.

Paintbrush colours based on real-life animals (and plants)
Duskitty replied to Duskitty's topic in Neopets General Chat
That one's cute! Some of the simple ones are the cutest, imo. I've always liked the spotted Tuskaninny (grey seal) and Lupe (African wild dog). -
Some paintbrush colours for specific Neopets resemble existing real-life animals - such as the rainbow Lenny, which appears to be based on a scarlet macaw: Curious to know, what are some real-life inspired colours that y'all find interesting and/or notable (not well-known, particularly unique, etc)? For me, it'd be the Maraquan Chia, which is based on a 'sea apple' (pseudocolochirus violaceus):
-
The Candy one is so cute! It reminds me of the older MLP toys. The outfit is stellar, but I wish those star shades were available for other pets to wear lol
-
I was looking forward to Kacheek Day and I'm honestly kinda disappointed by the colour lol. The outfit is nice, just not my thing.
-
The Mosaic design is gorgeous! A bit cluttered as GlitchtaleLover said, but that just means it doesn't need much accessorizing. It's very reminiscent of stained glass windows.
-
It's Lampwyck, the Moltaran lights shopkeeper: http://www.neopets.com/objects.phtml?type=shop&obj_type=110 Seems like TNT is keeping with their latest trend of modeling pet outfits after existing NPCs.
-
Interesting that it's actually based on an unreleased design! I swore it looked familiar in some way. Echoing what others have said here, it really looks more like a Mutant than the existing mutant buzz, lol. I wonder if they based it on an existing species of prehistoric insect.
-
The Candy Gnorbu is GORGEOUS. Definitely has to be my favourite Candy pet thus far. I'm a big fan of the new outfits being themed after existing characters - nice to see some lesser-known iconic NPCs getting recognition again.
-
Hey all. I've been training my battle pet daily at the Secret Ninja Training School for a couple years now, but today I've noticed something. The status page doesn't display her stats properly: and when I try to start her on a new course (which also doesn't display her name or stats), I get this error: Has anyone else experienced something like this? To my knowledge, this only started happening sometime today.
-
Altador Council is now working properly for me, but the meteor is still bugged.
-
The Pastel Wocky feels a bit too bright/saturated to be pastel. Though, maybe it just looks that way against a pure white background. The Kell outfit is funny though. Nice to see a throwback to the Supernatural crossover lol
-
I've had a dry spell for a while, but the well finally paid out today: Now, the real question is: open or sell?
-
I've been getting the same thing for the past few days. I remember this happening a while ago as well; hopefully it gets fixed soon.
-
Can't say I expected them to go in that direction with the Stealthy Xwee, but I'm pleasantly surprised! It's a little cluttered, still very charming. The base paintbrush colour looks interesting to customize with, if DTI's images are correct:
-
That Xandra outfit is KILLER. Really looking forward to the Stealthy Xwee!
-
They really knocked it out of the park this Vandagyre day lmao. Love how well they captured the Furby Essence
-
Pastel is cute, but it feels a bit... overdetailed? Busy? That costume is breathtaking though!
-
The outfit and colour are fantastic this time around! I'm always a fan of the Candy pets that have a specific theme, and it's great to see fanmade concepts being used.
-
A squid-like Mara Vandagyre would be fantastic! I would LOVE to see any cephalopod-based Maraquan pets. There's the Mutant Jetsam, as mentioned before, but that bears more of a resemblance to a Kraken and isn't a Maraquan pet. I'm really taken by some of the Mara pets that are based on specific marine animals: I'm liking the direction they've gone in with the more recent Maraquan pets being inspired by real aquatic creatures as opposed to ambiguous, frilled/gilled forms. Hopefully we'll see more interesting real-life inspirations for the remaining Mara pets.
