Island: His Auspices heavenly paradise beneath the twinkling branches of a blessed tree adorned with tassels, bells & plush. Clouds drift, the sun glows warm in a perpetual set, & soft mounds of moss periodically poke up into the clouds. Small trickles of water drip from above, to pool into perfectly-sized puddles to play in. Periodically, the drizzles build & soak the area, turning the space into a beautiful clear pond, wherein lilypads may spring up to drift by, the perfect little waterbeds.

Bell-sama the NETATSUZARU a playful and whimsical God (?!) with an open heart & generous spirit. Loves to amuse & comfort those in need… and quite good at it!! He has a disarming presence, and would be compatible with almost anybody. Somehow, he can chip away at any hardened heart.
Whisker the HILO PUMILIO a lost child under the auspices of Bell-sama. Naturally rather fussy & reserved, but being pulled out of its shell moment by moment with Bell-sama. Can be roped into all kinds of games and chicanery… despite the closed-off attitude, Whisker actually needs so much reassurance... it just doesn't know how to ask for it, or even how to parse that sense of desolation that precludes the asking. Luckily, Bell-sama is wildly intuitive (or maybe he can just read minds) and always-always provides exactly what Whisker needs!!
island: Play on the floor of a sprawling toyroom, seemingly endless (to a tiny Livly) and filled with layers upon layers of playthings and doodads. Playhouse has the ability to alter perception in the minds of other Livly, and turns the space into a dreamlike island paradise, rotating in any props or objects from the playroom into the arena of his effect. To Musicbox and Toybox, he is conjuring wonderful delights from nothing for them, day in and day out…
residing here are....
TOYBOX the TSUNORIML (he has a purple tone) rambunctious and unpredictable little Tsunoriml. Hardly ever seen still. Despite his blank gaze & seemingly-mindless scampering, he's remarkably versatile & capable of all kinds of play… enjoying taking on whatever role Playhouse or Musicbox desire of him. Can roleplay just about anything!! Which implies a keen, observant eye, aware of many roles. Happy to play audience, ringleader, performer, singer, lion, whatever…!!!
MUSICBOX the TSUNORIML (she has a teal tone) a bit more tepid in personality, yet can easily be drawn into the energy of Playhouse & Toybox with little encouragement from them. She's naturally receptive to nonsense & loves to play. She's less versatile than Toybox, and favors roles like… princess, ballet dancer, singer, bride, etc (though her ideas of these things are about limited to what she has observed in music boxes, snowglobes, automatons, illustrations…)-- both enjoy complimenting her boundaries, accentuating her expertise. Can be seen still more often than her counterpart, as she likes to ogle pretty decorations and toys.
PLAYHOUSE the VOLG master of Toybox & Musicbox, he directs their attention & play as he so pleases. Sometimes he enjoys their silly little whims, while other times, he takes a more strict & exacting approach, making demands. His demeanor is all-too-satisfied, a king on his throne nodding. though occasionally, his little playthings can be difficult or catch him off guard. Wiley. Capable of tunnel-vision at any moment, Playhouse is often possessed by whatever his immediate fixation is, with either of them…………… his desires are wayward, without hesitation or shame, & neverending. Seen sleeping more often than either Musicbox or Toybox! All his hard work in the playroom's illusions leaves him exhausted…
island: VEIN a tiny cavern with openings in its ceiling, where rain and light may pour in intermittently, or be obfuscated by debris. A glowing Dogu statue sits mysteriously on a small raised patch of land, which receives just enough light & felled seeds to grow soft with foliage. Its incredibly shallow waters are thin enough for a Livly to only just wet its toes in, and the light of the sun is enough to warm it into steam, giving the tunnels a foggy, vaporous, misty air. Kuromori flit in and out freely, able to fly, though Daydream doesn't have the luxury. The perimeters of the cavern become too deep and too steep for a little Sunairo Yunk to safely travel through. Figment has a little more freedom than her, being much larger, and capable of a much higher hop.
residing here are....
DAYDREAM the SUNAIRO YUNK Lighthearted girl who likes to tease her best friend, Figment the rather large Hoprex. So familiar with this dim, dank environment she is trapped in, she can appear fearless or foolhardy in how she handles it (to the paranoid Figment...). One would think she would get lonely in the dark cave she alone resided in for who knows how long… but she doesn't show it. However, she is very attached to Figment now, and can be seen panicking once he is out of her sight… so it seems she fears returning to that lonliness. Likes to play games with the kuromori that flit in and out of the caverns! Occasionally, they can even be seen bringing her modest trinkets from the surface (a bug's wing, a seed, a feather...). Her other favorite activities are leaping all around the walls, scaling stalagmites, reaching for stalactites, climbing the Dogu, submerging in the pools of deeper waters... all things Figment watches with tension.
FIGMENT the HOPREX a paranoid and alert creature, compulsed to patrol the caverns, inspect every little noise… he hardly sleeps. He's never been around other Livly, and as a result, seems to have … no set personality… at any moment he is meek, arrogant, capricious, cautious. He may huff and herd Daydream along, demanding she be corralled and controlled, and the next moment, shrink with conviction that he should stay out of her way and not bother her too much … she finds his flipflopping demeanors amusing, interested in whichever one will fling forward, and for how long. It's as if she has 10 friends in the caverns.
Previously, he would mindlessly trek through the cave systems, slurping up swimming larvae and tadpoles, avoiding any small noise or evidence of other Livly heard down any given corner. One day, Daydream suddenly surprised him in what he believed to be a completely empty cavern, shocking him into a stupor. She pulled him to her little shore & cared for him until he came to, and he was spellbound by her beautiful white fur, emerald eyes, & soft warm tongue grazing his face... he had never experienced affection before. He never let any Livly close enough!
Figment became her dutiful guardian after that! He sometimes exits their little area to find them more delicious foods, and he's trying in his feeble way to breed more bugs for her here, so he can leave her less...
island: VEIL a section of a dollhouse, with walls on either side, sitting upon a small nightstand. Overgrown flowers from a nearby potted plant stretch down and cascade over the surface, and moss grows across the faux cobblestone flooring thanks to condensation from the window. Outside of the window is an overgrown garden, grasses growing tall. many Chororogis have sprouted around this area for some reason, and are always bobbing around the soft sherpa dollhouse bed.

BUG the BYAKKO once a capricious sort of animal, Bug interacted with the world around him only on a very cursory level… plucking bugs from beneath rugs, running here and there… he had little preference for much, and enjoyed HOM by bribery of food and scratchies. Everything changed when he met Larkspur, a beautiful Tsunotsuki Uryu…!!! His fixation on her gradually beget him more nuanced desires, more conscientious movements… now, he is very eager for her company, but so new to the practice, he's often floundering and rather helpless. Bug is both determined, and easily discouraged… he's not used to wanting anything so powerfully, and also not used to feeling rejected or ignored!! Always watching Larkspur's slightest motion and trying to interpret it, with little point of reference for what any expression or mannerism is meant to convey, or how he's meant to respond to it!!
LARKSPUR the TSUNOTSUKI URYU A completely ignorant girl, only morphed from her larval stage recently… essentially a child, despite her natural appearance & candor of dignity. She's graceful & dainty, she moves delicately & quietly… new to the world, she most likes to peacefully observe it. Every little speck of dust dancing on the wind is magical to her… Most often seen staring at rambles, bugs, or at the world outside the window, she can seem more worldly, deep, or enigmatic than she truly is. She likes Bug, though the two struggle to communicate due to a mutual lack of experience… neither is quite sure what they want out of the other. Though unlike Bug, Larkspur is rare to upset or feel hurt, more often accidentally hurting Bug's feelings by missing cues ...
occasional visits by YOKE the JURAPHANT.
a watchful protector with a simple, though sweet, mind. Attentive without being overbaring, he brings a calm, safe atmosphere to most Livly in his company, despite his huge size. A complete pacifist; if a Livly dislikes his odd heavy breathing, they can bap him away or hiss and he will mosey off to oversee the island from a distance. If push came to shove, in a real moment of danger, he would exhibit incredible strength and werewithal--!! He proved this once, in an altercation that lost him an eye…
Bug used to feel complete indifference towards Yoke, but since falling for Larkspur, he now kicks a fuss and growls Yoke out of the dollhouse, when he can get away with it... if the two are busy in each other's company, he just sulks in the shadows helplessly.
Larkspur is fond of Yoke's visits; he's quite a charmer, and generous with his groomings, and food... ! The two are content to observe out the window and nap intermittently together. the Chororogis feel safe & happy around him, loving to climb all over his great big body!!
island: SOCKET an abandoned, weathered desktop beneath a leaky window, where the sun is gradually bleaching everything in its path. A Mandrake sits in sun-warmed fluid.
residing here are....
BUTTON the KUROME a lot of hidden energy inside is revealed by fidgeting, though she has a catlike aloofness to her demeanor. She's difficult to get the attention of… which means once you have it, she's surprisingly exciteable and even demanding.
Her first dip into the Mandrake's tank was an accident, but since then, she enjoys a periodic swim around the jar… it is one of the few things that makes Poke anxious, but her talents are mesmerizing to spectate, despite that. He keeps a careful eye on her. The Mandrake's juice turns her once icey blue-green fur into more of a purple-toned shade. Her other favorite hobby is bapping around the rambles that sprout from the Mandrake's flowers… unrelenting self-confidence & ego cause her to have many blind spots... she sees Poke as a lumbering, dim-witted creature, who she can make do as she pleases.
POKE the MINTS a placid animal, partly because he's typically 3x the size of anything around him. He's unreasonably patient with Button, and seems to enjoy her outbursts of whapping him with her paws and tail. He's happy to give her all of the attention she caterwauls for. Poke was a resident of this desk long before Button floated in thru a crack, and he spent a long, long time casually stalking her presence from a distance ... though she'd like to think she was more discreet, and thinks she knew of his presence first. Though Button has an impression that she runs the place, it's really Poke's grace that allows her peaceful residence here beneath the mandrake... if another Livly shows up, Poke swiftly dispatches them without Button's notice. His body count is quite high!!
Island: POM-POM
I don't actually have set Livlies for this island... but this was my very first vision and dream for an island, with my first revive tree, and some of my very first pull items from Bubble Plants and Apple House--!!
my starter Livly was a Hamlot, named Button, seen here on my head.
I like to let various Livlies 'visit' this island... but one day, I'll figure out permanent residents, and replace this text.
okeii how Livly posting will work, easiest for me... I will tag everything #avvys Livly
and I think I'll just post each island set-up n its given Livlies in that set-up individually... as posts. and just trust the conglomerate tag to make my browsing easier...
I don't have the best photos of all my islands & livlies, but I can always edit posts later, swap out pics, so...!!!! I want to just get started soon, even if I only have imperfect caps.... it'll help me visualize what I need to get pics of anyhoo;;
I have been playing a lot of LIVLY ISLAND lately...! I want to come here and catalogue a bunch of my islands.... soon!
I kinda do be enjoying Crabby Shootout tho tbh
what is my overall opinion on Dacardia, did I ever give it.
Unfortunately it is negative. As I express joy and celebration at the Faerie's Hope girlie showing up in the plot, I must reflect on how much that game endeared me even if it was messy, and was much, much more fun to play (simple but challenging!)... while Dacardia, I only really feel, resentment for the NPCs in it ... the Lutari and the Ruki are so rude to one another and are like... bizarre, and our player character tends to address them rudely??
I know dialogue is never going to be anything in an app game. But well. It was sweet Varia & the Light Faerie were friends & always complimenting one another lol. The Ruki and Lutari in Dacardia mostly dismiss or annoy one another...? And us the player are like... "uhhhhh... >> weird... uhmm... okaaaaay..." absolutely abysmal experience...
but the worldbuilding ... I think they were determined to generalize it so much, that they made something both repetitive to the entirety of Neopets, and also generic/boring.
I don't know why Dacardia is determined to mirror all of my onsite dailies ... in a dry way. I'm also doing a giant omelette and a questlog of mundane daily tasks, but I am not even working towards a weekly prize that rotates out ... I think by trying to encapsulate 'all of Neopia', you get a land that is just a vague blend of Central, Mystery Island ... maybe with a snow area eventually ... how, why? It's not as if the Lost Desert has its own 5 Mario lands within it .... it doesn't need its own volcano and mines and snowy expanse and forest. It's just a lot....
I think the better idea would have, seriously, been to... design a new land AS UNIQUE as the preexisting lands, as unique as Faerieland!!!! If it is going to be a new PB... it should exemplify that aesthetic throughout the entire design sense; as much as Darigan PB reflects that land or Faerie PB reflects that land. Why is it a generic green grassy field and beach shore ? I think both returning players and new players would prefer something wilder and more enticing/exotic looking. I don't know how it stands out from any generic app game fodder in the store, or someone considering returning to Neopets.
I think even... small aesthetic things like ... making the grass teal or purple... making the trees striped.... making the crystals central to the entire aesthetic.. making up new fake fruits in the trees... making bright purple giant flowers... idk just, ANYTHING !!! completely and utterly visually distinct ... would have delighted me. I would love a whole new land!!! This hardly feels like a new land though? Will the pets being purple ever have some kind of significance.... or is it Just Because? Right now painting your pets Dacardian makes them stick out in the landscape ... not how it works for the other land's PBs.... Lost Desert would make you fit right IN to that land!!!!
I feel like all the decisions on it were just very corporate and safe. Nothing outside of the box.... it is both too complicated gameplay to enjoy as a casual task (like ghoulcatchers or faerie's hope), and to simplistic gameplay to find challenge in. It's repetitive....
I play it for the NP/prizes/neopass benefits, but I was playing Faerie's Hope with 0 benefits beyond the gameplay itself ! I just had a great time.
I'll still play all of Dacardia as long as they keep it up... and I want it to do well in the sense that I want Neopets to live forever and be successful. But I do not like it at all for what it is !! Not fun !!! Not cute !!! Not interesting !!!! Not inspiring......
I actually am finding the Dacardia PBs in the app game quite cute and charming!!! The Altador Cup players kind of had me underwhelmed about them, but seeing them on feral style game pets really helps !! It reminds me... of digimon :') I could see myself owning one! I wonder if they will launch with a handful of pets out the gate or what... (I hope so)... !
I think what I dooo like about it as it looks here, is that I could imagine people drawing this back in the day... I could imagine OCs, Lupes and Draiks and whatall with these markings.... I even think they resemble the kinds of markings people just like to give feral OCs often. Usually with new PBs, at all, whether I like it or not depends on this kind of ... sensation of "could I imagine seeing this in the BC as a kid?". Some overrendered newer brushes like Oil Paint, Toy, Origami or Marble are really difficult to place back in time, while others like Valentine or honestly even Burlap feel pretty on-par with older colors.
if someone has the Lupe I would love to see what it looks like! As far as I know, you either get the Kougra or Lupe depending on if you clear debris around the shore or around the mineshaft, and can't have both at once. I'd also love to see the Kacheek, since one is buyable for $$.... no idea if anyone has sprung for that
HOARDING mutant petpet PBs as well... WHEW its crazy. Really exciting though...
Bird bought new weapons with this plot and so he gave me his ghostkerbomb so I can hold my own in the fights!!! Thyber is at... lvl 51 and 100 H/S/D...! (well 117 HP... this is annoying to specify)
sooo crazy the hospital gave out those 100% healers that used to be millions LOL so convenient!!! I have no troubles even at Thyber's relatively modest level....
THE FREE PINCHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really hoping Strale get added to the next prize pool ><!!!!!!! LETS KEEP ROTATING PETPETPETS!!!! I'd also love a Glack for my husband..... COME AWNNNnn!! ahh I would also love to see some petpets like, Smiley, and Bartamus....!
GAWWDDDDD IT DOESN'T STOP HAPPENING!!! I have... THREE glacks....maybe will give one to Haalow... i got an aboogala for Coever... and a Ditrey for Miffiex.... Bird gave me a Strale for my eventual cloud skeef.... PETPETPETS ERA!!!!!!!!!!! FILL MY SDB WITH BUGS I SHAN'T SELL A SINGLE ONE OF THEM precious important to me bugs ...
LETS HOPE!! ROUND 3... SKUFFLER, DRAPHLY....FLEAF...?!! mooooreeee more more
whoaaa I had no idea the Grey Tonu was so nice looking...! Of all grey pets to basically completely retool, they actually did a good job with this one....!! not to sound demeaning awe.... but uwah! I always like Tonu in theory but in practice aspects of their design can be tough to deal wtih.... but some colors solve that. I would like to have one one day :3 or even a few..... now grey can be added to teh POSSIBILITIES...!
my current plot rewards shop swag goals (for my gallery!!!).... I am already over halfway there so (:
once i have enough for these I want to try to get the plot-specific petpets!!!
Due to some good luck there is an FFQ available unto me so I've been HMMM.... about maybe, changing Rupit's species...!!!
I have a lot of Aisha OCs (2 I'm really attached to...) so I've felt the strain when drawling her, slightly repetitive roster...
I think if I did, it would be a canonical change, so art of her Aisha self would not be inaccurate, just a different iteration of her body.
No matter what, I want her to be snot HENCE not.. being able to think about this at all without an FFQ!!!!
if I go with Buzz it shall be like dis...
design itself would stay the same [white eyelashes.... sluggy draggy tail... quad stance... ]
but I wouldn't wanna mess her up or touch her until I doodle it, so...!
