Oooh, another prehistoric buff! I say that like I'm one, when in reality I've read one book and know enough to annoy people at meal times!
The growth of the giant sauropods is particularly good dinner conversation! And the fact that their eggs were only the size of a guinea pig!
In fairness, the original image has a pretty darn big chin!

With a new year upon us, what are your achievements of last year and resolutions to come?
Despite having taken a prolonged break from the site (Charity Corner being cancelled was possibly just the cherry on the cake!), I've managed a reasonable amount:
- Pets: Finally made my Lutari Maraquan to fit the Maraquan Snowbunny and continued the trend with a Maraquan Kiko when that released (Premium Perk for the win). Morphed Huggleby into a Halloween Grundo as well! Also made Wytha a Plushie Krawk in the hopes of an eventual UC option. I've also kept working on my baby side going from one Baby Lupe to five babies; Yurble, Xweetok, Pteri and Lutari. My final pet of the year is my Grandad Pteri. I gave up on my Garlic Kiko as she turned Desert and I fell in love!

- Petpets: The biggest achievement of the year by far was my Darigan Candychan for my Nightsteed. I still can't believe I actually bit the bullet! I have got petpets for most of my main pets now; a Woodland Rock for my Woodland Ruki, a Bat Boy for my Werelupe, a Bubbles for my Maraquan Kiko and a Plushie Dragoyle for my Plushie Draik. tdub still has his Feepit as I am trying to get it eaten by Turmy! My baby pets have largely fitting petpets; a grumpy Plumpy angel for my my flying Rikupicky, Snuffles the Christmas Orbulon for the Xweetok in the cold and a cute Plushie Eizzil for the broken egg.
- Avatars; Well, I've squeaked from 248 to 279 which isn't too bad going, although I'm never going to be in the top reaches I don't think. The demise of Flash makes this even harder! I had fun with the pet avatars as I tried to make all the pets I adopted re-homable, so trained and painted them. And kept the Camoflage Kacheek in the process as she was just too cute to give up. She has a Tyrannian Dandan to match her custom.

- Games: Despite the AC being a complete disaster, I managed double All-Star which funded the Darigan Candychan with the top AC prize!
 
Resolutions?
Given my current lack of interest, I guess the resolution should be to log in and do Food Club and Trudy's every day! I haven't managed a full round of Trudy's in months...
I'd like to continue working on my petpets; my elderly Pteri and new Vandy need petpets, as does my baby Lutari (probably another Dandan). Huggleby has a cheap fill in so I need to think about her as well. tdub can wait until Turmy eats his petpet... Part of me wants a Krawk petpet for my Krawk, but they are also hella expensive. My end goal for tdub is a Kadoatie I think, so that can definitely wait. I also want a Meowclops, but I'm not sure on what pet...
The new pet slots open new options. I've created a new Vandy that I want to make Toy and will have to consider what other pets I could add. I want the lab map so I can get those couple of avatars and continue doing adopt and re-home missions as well. I never had space for a labbie on my main before. I have a couple of spare floater pets on a side that I can't figure out what to do with either...
My mutant side has barely been touched. I got my Mutant Jetsam but have made no other headway there.
The problem is there is so little to do on the site now. I might see if I can finish off my silver Neoquest 2 run and look into playing one of the card games religiously to get the trophies maybe... Solitaire, I'm looking at you!
 
So, how's everyone else doing and what are you planning?

My achievements:

Started off the year by painting Doideag maracite when the colour was released last january. She's looking very magical now. Then I painted Xeneona royal. Gerree and Ghertrudie were both painted in February. They're looking very spooky. I created Regieg and painted him in May. He's the penultimate pet for my Virtupets account. Then Mariggold and Rhosse were both painted royal this past fall. They're looking very cute together. And finally, I created Melspeth just a few days before the year's end. She will be painted Steampunk, eventually, for my Faerieland account.
No interesting zaps this year. I zapped Jepire and Movario for the whole year, but nada. But to be fair I have already gotten my alien aisha and robot bori from the lab, so I'm probably due a dry streak.
My most exciting petpet acquisition was a water moltenore for Fluxroot. Sadly she herself is not her forever colour, as I'm waiting on the release of either a woodland buzz or vandagyre. She is a woodland mynci for now because that morphing potion was cheap enough. I also painted Wrecho's rock pink, which 100% completed my Haunted Woods account!
My goals for next year are to get the rest of my petpets in order. I've made several offers on blobikins and mutant yooyus, but no replies yet. Vullards are still inflated, and I haven't really decided what to do for Melspeth, as she's new. Probably one of the moltara petpets, although I don't really like going for such an obvious choice. I'll have to have a look though the petpets at some point and pick out something that's a little more special. I also want to 100% complete another account, although that might be difficult as every single account is currently waiting on the release of certain colour/species combos! But hopefully one of them will release, surely?

Tyrannian Buzz I'm sure was based on prehistoric Insects during the Permian era. They were much bigger then bugs today some with wingspans up to 30 inches across! The reason for the huge growth was due to there being more oxygen in the prehistoric atmosphere. The Tyrannian Buzz looks from the picture to have a bigger wingspan then normal buzz's it could be just the size of the photo... However that is my theory on what this buzz is based off of.

ARGHHHH!!!
Right colour, wrong species! xDDD Need to be a Meerca for the 🌈 taillll.

... and she changes colour to Robot!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


i got it!! she's perfect! and that's all the pets on that account done. just the petpets to go!!!!!
i literally just posted a few hours ago bemoaning the possible impossibility of 100%ing another account this year, and I got it!!!!

Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

tick another one off the bingo, bois
It does look pretty snazzy....

It's good to see you back, @Secre Hopefully you don't get bored again too fast, you're fun on here. >:3
I'm unsure what to expect for the UC prices, I mean they should be pretty high, shouldn't they. I'd certainly not want to be the one setting those particular prices though, because there's gonna be VIEWS, no matter what. 😅
A lot of the loudest will be the most ridiculous too, you can pretty much guarantee that.

SERIOUSLY, RAY?! are we doing gender swaps twice-weekly now? So far changes on 22nd, 26th and today. >_>

And I see li'l Ray is trying to distract me now.

Not just a funny description for this one, the whole thing'll make you laugh.
Desert Abominable Snowball
Maybe this was a bad idea...
There's been a few recently that made me giggle, but I can't remember what the items were now!

2 Yellow Growth 1 Water Fish 2 Snazzy Moon Combs

Alsooo, got a +5 strength increase from Coltzan today!

Oh nice! Haven't gotten this event in a while. 

I have obtained the Steampunk clothes to share with my Aishas! My sibling zapped her Yellow Elephante to Steampunk, then sent it to me, and I used my Premium Perk to make it a Steampunk Aisha.

Annnd it's back off to the therapist for Bloomy...


Your eyes recover quite quickly after the giant explosion, but that's more than you can say for your Petpet. The Kookith is kind enough to sweep up Puppup for you and you head home.

Elephante was too slow , they survived one day only !
As usual HR is "flying" off the handle to hire a fire breathing , flying pet ... just like when FC Barcelona tried to replace Neymar with Coutinho ... I predict it's gonna be disaster as he will burn the pizzas that he tries to heat up ... because flying with a Pizza in the cold night makes it cool down considerably ...

I've been unusually inactive over the last... four months plus. I haven't managed to fit a Trudy bonus once. Have rarely remembered to place Food Club bets...
All of my 'main' pets are in the same place for the first time in years; old and new:


Plus a new addition of my much wanted Grandad Pteri. 
And all my nice petpets are in the same place as well!

Now I just need to... not get bored and wander off...
Neopets is making that difficult at the moment though. Between cancelled Charity Corner, NFT's, a dearth of working non-Flash games... it's impressive that I stayed invested for quite as long as I did after the demise of Flash!
And even the pet slots were more expensive than I was 'hoping' for. I bought the 10 pack for my main as I'd got NC and it was 'closer' to my anticipated price of 250NC per slot. I dread to think of how much the UC conversions are going to cost.
