I'm slowly working on my dream team of pets. I make backstories for my pets which help me decide their looks/clothing. I also work in the things that I collect and activities that I do on Neopets. Hopefully you'll enjoy:
 
Pim Truenote – My first pet. He was named/is based on a tiger-like creature that was a familiar for one of my tabletop RPG characters. Pim was silver and got in a fair amount of fights with her. So he is my Battledome pet (still training/figuring that out). I have a Pirate paintbrush that I need to use on him, since that is the closest look to the original Pim. He is the captain of the sky-ship Scimitar, which is manned by a crew of petpets. All of my pets fled there when the Flash Catastrophe destroyed both their original and new Neohomes.

Kia Truenote – Kia is currently a Lost Desert Kougra. I got her from the pound not long after I made Pim. She was a regular Kougra who I painted. I also ignore the Kougra14 after her first name. She will be repainted as a Daragan and I will be giving her a librarian look, which means dipping my toe into NC trades. She's is my book trophy pet, I'm currently working on both. She and Pim are happily married. She collects backpacks and interesting school supplies – mainly Kougra and Faerie ones.

Cutter Wolfking – Cutter was the second pet that I made specifically for my oldest son. He wanted a Cloud Kougra named Cutter (our last name) but was too young to have an account. We compromised and he agreed to a pseudonym for our last name. He promptly lost interest and is now a surly teenager who doesn't care. So Cutter will be getting a purple paint job. He will be my food club pet and is the financial manager for my pets. His favorite thing is investing in stocks and collecting interest from the bank. He's got a lengthy backstory involving shady criminal organizations in Neovia, his rise to power in one such organization and his success at reinventing them into a legitimate corporation but that is a tale for another day. He likes to read recipe books, collect posters and t-shirts. He's gonna have a nice Gothic look.

Kahmaat – Kahmaat is my new Lost Desert Kougra, created for my now side account. She was created as a result of the “Frozen Account” incident that hit Neopets several years back. I've moved back to my main account (a long story involving how to move a Lutari) and she has moved with me. She runs the pets' Neostore where she sells all the treasure they collect on their adventures. She will stay a Lost Desert Kougra but I will find some new clothing for her. She collects stamps and other collectibles.

Tikka Tokk – Tikka is my Lutari who currently resides on my side account. She is an archaeologist and tinkerer. She loves discovering treasure and inventing robot petpets. The current plan is to morph her into something else, move her to main account and then morph her back into an Island Lutari with a potion. I have the potion but haven't done it yet. Mostly because I'm scared it won't work. She collects snowglobes.
 
Black Bery – Bery is a pound pet that I got when I belonged to a now-defunct adoption guild. My intent was to zap her into something cool and adopt her out. She is now my labray pet for avatar purposes. However, if I end up being able to collect avatars using TDN, I don't know what I will eventually do with her. She may live her best life on my side account or if she is zapped into something cool and someone wants her, I may still adopt her out.

Thistle (Last Name Unknown) – Thistle will be my Christmas Vandagyre. She's going to be my witchy pet. I haven't made her yet and I'm still working out her backstory. I do know that she will collect plushies and toys. I also have a rather expensive outfit put together that will require NC items. She also likes gardening and reading spell/magic books. I'm kind of waiting to see what I will do with Bery before I make her but will collect her costume and gear while I do.

Unnamed Draik – So while investigating what I need pet-wise to collect avatars, I looked at Draiks and fell in love with the Woodland Draik. He will be Thistle's partner-in-crime so he'll need an appropriate backstory and name. I think he have something to do with the fairies. He will also love apples. It will be fun putting all that together.

I really need Neopets to let us have more than 6 pets on an account (not counting premium). I also wish TNT would give us renaming scrolls or tokens or something.  I played a dragon pet game where you could rename them but you had to pay for a scroll. Helped with cool looking but badly named adoptions.

My husband and I lost a very dear friend and neighbor this week.

He died of Stage IV Pancreatic cancer at the age of 58 after a very short four month battle.  The thing is only four people in this world knew that he had this horrible disease.  He was very sick and in a lot of pain but he hid it.  He didn't want people to be worried about him.  He didn't want people to be sad.  Whenever we asked, he had a little medical "thing" but it wasn't a big deal. That was how he was - generous and always making sure other people were taken care of.

We didn't know he was as sick as he was.  He died of sepsis after only two chemo treatments.  It was a shock.  We had waved hello to him just two days before. He smiled and waved back.  We never saw him again.  I'm comforted by the fact that he did have his best friend and his BF's wife with him until the end. It wasn't uncommon for them to travel down to where we live and stay for 6 months at a time, so that wasn't even a clue. 

We lived next door to him for over 15 years.  He was the neighborhood "safe house" for our boys.  We bonded over our mutual love of Halloween (the holiday).  He would start planning on Nov 1st and start building 2 to 3 months ahead of Halloween.  He would put up a different theme every year.  He had turned his front yard into a cornfield, a graveyard and other spooky settings.  He and his friends would hang out and scare all the neighborhood kids (and a few adults).  Our youngest was finally at the point where he was done with trick 'r treating and we were looking forward to helping him with this year's haunt. 

In a flash, he was gone.  I'm not posting this for sympathy.  You don't always know what is going on in other people's lives - especially if they are going everything in their power to hide it from you.    Life can change in a moment and someone that you love and care about can be gone.  So remember to them you love them.  Pick up the phone and call, because "tomorrow" might not come.

The Lever of Doom make my eye twitch.  Every day, I spent exactly 1000 Neopoints in the hopes of the avatar.  Still nothing...  *eye twitches*

I really like the outfit!  My Lutari Tikka would look great in that.

I am so glad to finally have this avatar.  Putting in the joke is so tedious!

tdub is now level 200!!!

Of course the bonus level came now rather than one level later where I could have got another course for 7 codestones! On we go to level 250 and the beginning of his red codestone training!

Just spotted Angelo's own l'il April Fool here.
I know, right? I still visit Hagan despite having got his avatar, as he's good for those r90+ books; but while I get enormous safisfation from getting food away from Skarl, I've got zero wish to keep visiting him because he's just too much effort. x'D

I am so glad to finally have this avatar.  Putting in the joke is so tedious!

So I just poked around the Neoboards and others are reporting the same thing - stuck in a loop getting the same jelly for days.  On another note, one player was saying that depending on your active pet/age of pet/account, you only get certain jellys?  It's the first I've heard of that.

Got there a bit faster than expected - been able to make a nice profit off stocks over the past month!

I now know why I spend 400 NP everyday picking fruit...
 

So I did a little more research and went to NeoJelly.  Using filters, I checked all the jellies that you get from the Giant Jelly.  Both my husband and I have gotten all the types listed.  I've been playing for 16 years (he's been playing for 10) but for a while, I used a side account instead of my main.  My side is only about 4 years old or so.  So I would say this myth is busted!
 
Edit to add: Both my hubby and I got a stone jelly today.  I used my main pet (which is the age of my main account) and he used one of his pets that he made about a month ago.  

One of my favorite quotes is :

"Fairy Tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy Tales tell children that dragons can be killed." - attributed to G. K. Chesterton but he supposedly never said it.

I'm rooting for you, Mayetra! Hope you get it soon 😊🤞

Sorry, I've only just seen this! The moment I saw the previous MME bits, I knew I had a custom idea! Finding clothing is more difficult though. The Woodsy Faerie Dress might work, but it is low and looks awful on the Peophin... It's like they just forgot to do an upper layer for the species! Unfortunately, that's true for a lot of the dresses for the Peophin. I've been playing with DTI and found a couple of interesting options though:
Dyeworks Green: Elaborate Ninja Dress

Gothic Dress Shirt and Flowy Scaled Skirt

King of the Forest Robes

Dark Battle Armour and and Flowy Scaled Skirt

Hmm... options, options...

EDIT: Another one:

It really does give off a Winnie the Pooh vibe.  I agree the dress isn't working but the background is so perfect.

Look at what I managed to get today! 

Didn't even know I was missing that one, lucky I decided to look at the news page today!
