oh man, barbie girl takes me back. but i have no room to judge. one of the staples of our singalongs at girl guides was ymca, which is about the wholesome fun of...hooking up with strangers! teeny tiny doesn't "think" he's the king of the castle. he is the king of the castle! and splodge is so cute! it's great that your foster mom saved him! and i think the button eye suits him perfectly!

maybe they were mostly a US thing? and to be fair by "official branded rock" what i really mean was "the probably copyright-infringing pet rocks sold by the fancy granville island toy stores that all the other kids had" which were really, really popular for like, a year when i was in fourth grade. and yeah, they were a uniform shape, usually smoothed/polished, and the really expensive ones were made out of some semi-precious stone. some of them had eyes painted or carved on, others didn't. they came with a little bed and a 'care booklet.' no idea what that booklet actually said though. the 90's were... weird. absurdity is the perfect word for the pet rock. and don't worry, her rock is her most precious possession. it's named jawbreaker. oh my god, i remember tamagotchis!! they were so cute!! but they hit while i was at my first elementary school, which had more of a clique/gang thing going on and i wasn't in the group that was into them. so i wanted one in secret while calling them stupid. and yoooo those eeyores are adorable! which one is the one on the top right? he's my favourite! i still have some of my childhood stuffies. a lot of them just got too ratty to keep, but i still have Mister Fox

at least it's technically edible. poor umbredor's not nearly so lucky!

the colour's cute, i love the straw hair! and the two difference shades of burlap solves the problem a lot of zafaras have where their limbs blend into their bodies. and that hat........... it gets the FANCY HAT seal of approval from me.

that's a perfect petpet for your ruki! it's also the exact reaction when i bought my xweetok her rock. she throws it at people. but there's just something so... dumb and amazing about the pet rock. it's pretty much the only petpet that's so... grounded in reality. did anyone else actually have a pet rock when they were a kid? i did. not an official brand pet rock. just a cool rock i found in the garden.

probably not for a while. neohomes have never been a high priority

i wish that they would include larger pictures where it was needed. i would be perfectly happy to judge all four of the cc entries based on their merits as a captionable image...but i can barely see what's going on in two of them. oh well. i voted for the scorched birthday because i can tell what's going on and it seems pretty wacky.

i actually live in the same timezone as neopets operates in! makes remembering things like the snowager super simple. Edit: although i do actually know the feeling of having to manage timezone differences in games. another game i play uses utc, which means that the midnight reset lands at 4 pm here, or 5 pm in the summer. maddening.

BURFIN.......................... love it. movario lost two levels and jepire got 3 strength.

your neosona is adorable! i like the "not weird jelly, though" it's too bad that your neohome building got so interrupted! but im sure when the new neohomes come out you'll build one just as lovely.

isnt the crafting faerie a thing from previous years? i dont care about nc so i just voted for the coolest looking from the thumbnails. i wish there was a 'don't care' option where you could still get the item

yeah the nose and mouth are weird, but i love that little swirl on the head mimicking the fur. it's very cute!

The ray is fired at Movario... ... and she changes colour to 8-Bit!! of course it's something that cant wear clothes, so i cant cover it up with the steampunk gear *sighs* alright let's see the damage.. oh god... what is this abomination.............. anyway jepire gets some strength.

yeah... ive only played ice cream machine, but if they're all as jittery and broken as that, then..... yikes. rip my dreams of ever getting the avatars for the games that they do wind up converting. and i don't know, it could be? but it's definitely a slur towards the Romani, which is the context that it was being used in on neopets

i remember the cc pretty well but didn't participate in the ac this year, what happened? also the faerie festival was great for me cause i got a ffq out of it.

i like the new sidebar, although the font is hard to read and there's still no way to have it permanently open, which is disappointing! i would be very surprised if they weren't working away on customization at this very moment. it is a larger project though. and yeah, that word's been known to be a slur for a while now? it's good that they've taken it off the site, although the area is still a p obv stereotype. harder to change art though

i picked the spring background too! it's the background i plan to use for rhosse once she gets on the right account, it's just so pretty. the cloak is admittedly pretty cool too

i set a timer last night for the turmuculasus because one of the potential times was the reasonable time of 8am.. and then i woke up and didnt look at the timer's title, and started getting ready, breakfast etc, and completely forgot about it until 10. and he was awake!!

Congrats! Maraquan lutaris are so pretty, you made a great choice there!

it means that the entire country of wales is on the virtupets space station. just a bad joke lol that would be a cool gallery idea! probably very expensive, though, since most of those items are really, really old.

wales is on the vss it all makes sense now. probably legal reasons! i wouldn't be surprised if whatever contracts they drew up didn't account for the items sticking around after the brand deal ended.

i mean the flash going kaput is out of their control so i doubt anyone would fall for that. my money's that they'll either pretend that they're going to return the classic layout, or 'launch' a new layout to 'replace' the mobile beta.

oh yeah we found one of those gollywog dolls when we were going through my dad's stuff. no idea how he ended up with it. i've always wondered how those sorts of items work in the neopets lore. does neopia have a wales somewhere or something?

ah, that wasn't a snub or anything. just letting you know. tnt does seem to be doing a lot of traditional clothing recently and actually i had to spend a while on google doublechecking my hunch because the hat threw me off, i hadnt seen that type before

The ray is fired at Movario... ... and she changes colour to Steampunk!! OK, OK, that's new. and hey, it's a full-body outfit so whatever terrible colours i get in the future, i can cover them up with that. and nothing much for jepire's zap.
