OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! I have wanted this background since I saw it and TRUDY'S SURPRISE GAVE IT TO ME! *Runs around squeeing happily*

I was playing coconut shy when I finally knocked down a coconut. But once I knocked it down, the site froze and no message cam up. I tried to refresh the page and it just restarted the game. Is there anything I should of done or can do to fix that?

So, as I now have a frankly ridiculous collection of baby items for someone who does not have any baby pets at all (go figure)! I took the plunge, morphed my adopted Gelert named Cynophobia_ into a Lupe, painted him baby and now I have my first baby pet. Now to start transferring NC baby items over to the right account...

And I really need to stop spending both np and NC right about now!!!

I was so caught up in the wearable shag rug that I didn't even realise the implication of moustache placement 😂

What in the actual heck?? Just...
Having a moustache ON TOP of the beak's a lovely bit of inexplicable bizarreness.
I think we can safely assume that this stuff was NOT done by the good new artist!
Sponge is a bit of a throw away PB colour for a lot of pets, isn't it. It really is very good-looking cheese on this Pteri, or, I dunno, leprosy, mebbe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
 

I have a single word for this pet day.
 
NOPE
 
Poor Pteris...

And it means I am completely out of boxes and completely out of caring!!
I was opening those Usuki capsules with the sole intention of getting the sparklies for trading... 
And then I fell in love with them...
And then I needed another pair... not for trading but for a side. 
Because these ones are forever my Peophins:

And my new set are good on my lab rat:

the Sponge Pteri looks like Swiss Cheese

Anyone who genuinely feels that way needs to realise that's way too narrow a view, if you ask me. That's basically implying that what happens to the environment doesn't have any impact on humans. A way people definitely thought in previous eras, but science keeps showing people now how what we've done (and are continuing to do) to the planet is causing us enormous problems, that are only getting bigger.
The lose of habitat and biodiversity - through greed, monumental arrogance, and ignorance - is 100% our fault, and we're paying the price for it big time now with (amongst so many other things, can you say micro-plastics?) the rise in health problems because our diets aren't varied enough. A failure in one of the major crop varieties now is gonna be catastophic because there's so few different types being grown now that the loss of one would basically mean famine. Maybe that's hyperbole, but it would definitely mean significant shortages; and not comfortably far away shortages either, not African villagers that you can change channels when you've had enough of looking at crying babies with flies crawling in their eyes, but shortages, oh my god, for your privileged first world white folk! and don't get me started on the loss of pollinators. >8[
We've just spent too long sat, comfortably ignorant, on top of the pile as the top predator, that it's STILL not got into the heads of so many that we rely on all the other living things on this planet for our own survival. Right down to the bacteria in the soil that we kill off with chemicals...
I've seen theorising that Covid made the jump to humans because we've encroached on the wildlife's space too much, that's poetic justice in spades...
 
Ok, so yeah, seems I have OPINIONS

Oh my goodness, why did you have to tell me that?  Oh no, now that is all I can see!  I agree that it is very cute, though.

Shame Buffy isn't a practitioner. . .  My draik would be peeerrrrfect for this one!  Oh, I'll have to try to cobble something up for this one, though.

That is one heck of a cool uni!  I agree that the fiery feet would have been awesome, but fortunately it works either way.

I got both items safe and sound. Thank you so much!

Hey 🙂 I'm Lou and I've returned to neopets/TDN after a very long break. I used to be on the TDN news team back in the day!
My long break was mostly due to graduating uni/life changes.
Hope all is well! Trying to catch up on what I've missed over the past however many years hahaha

Everything about this couple reeks of white privilege, they disgust me. .___. I really don't have words to describe how repellent I find them.

Why did they not add any shading or depth? This could've turned out really well, but instead it looks like it came out of a coloring book. As a person who loves birds, this is not good.

What... what on earth happened here?
I mean put it aside the older mutant species and I guess it's ok... but put it against the more detailed and nuanced mutants... and it's a cartoon mess!

There's virtually no toning or shading... it's all stark lines drawn in a cartoonish pose. 
This fanart is so, so much more in keeping with the mutant ideas: http://www.neopets.com/~Myuung

As someone who loves all things Vandagyre and birds in general: Ew.

Yeah...reminds me of a low-budget power rangers monster 😕

Final Mutant pet until they decide to introduce a new Neopet that is.
No offense, but I was expecting something more gross and sinister like some of the legacy mutants. This looks more like one of those monsters that'd be more at home in a 60s or 70s Saturday morning kids show if anything.

Some poor soul on Reddit has just lost a 30 million neopoint item to the Kiko Lake Bandits...

Disclaimer: Not me!

Krawks have been sort of on my want list forEVER now.  I've got all the permissible sides (boo.  I want more, haha) and was browsing lost and pound this morning.  Within the past 24 hours someone abandoned a pirate krawk with a good name.  Yes!  I now have myself the krawk I've been wanting for YEARS, and didn't have to pay a ridiculous amount for her ❤️  Now to find a paintbrush.
 
Of course I've also gotten a ton of other pets from there recently.  I can't believe how many nicely painted pets get ditched.  I've even seen a few with the more expensive paint jobs like eventide in there.
