god i wish i wouldn't have to explain the intricacies of the neopets economy to you guys to give the full context for this but. the new neopets team that took over from jumpstart pledged that they were going to curb the inflation of rare items, which is great because a lot of rare items are worth literally hundreds of millions of neopoints, they are unbuyable unless you've been playing actively for 20 years. they did this earlier with a site festival that included random loot boxes, some of which had Unbelievably Fucking Rare And Precious items worth 200 million neopoints apiece.

well.

today they have gone a step further. by releasing this year's trick-or-treat bags. and having the trick-or-treat bags be stuffed to the brim with unbelievably fucking rare stamps, weapons, paint brushes, defense magic, and other unbuyables. (all prohibitively expensive and in-high-demand types of items.)

jellyneo, the premier neopets website, has recorded prices of some items plummeting from 2,000,000 neopoints to 4,000 neopoints IN THE LAST THREE HOURS. this is when most people haven't even heard about the event or OPENED THEIR BAGS YET.

and of course. cherry on top. 20-year-old account holders are crytyping on the site events neoboard about how mean and cruel it is to make rare stamps part of the prize pool, because their entire identity hinges on being part of the neopian bourgeoisie, and they are having MELTDOWNS over their assets being devalued until they're part of the lowly proletariat.

this is a children's game for children btw.

none of the money is real.

i'm having such a good time.

oh fuck yeah this is the coolest

Apparently neopets not only managed to ditch the NFT bros, but with the closure of the Jumpstart brand weeks ago, neopets is now completely independent for the first time since the early 2000′s, got millions in a new investment deal and are currently installing a flash simulator so that all their games and animations work again.

Yeah so, uh. This is for hs_o’s bonus round — skelody’s prompt “Curtainfic. But not in fic form. (nor art, of course.)” and um, it’s a Rose/Kanaya curtainfic … love song!

I have tried and tried and tried to record a version that — if not better — at least involves my face because it feels like if it’s on YouTube it is automatically excused for being not as musical as it really ought to be, but, um, it’s one in the morning, so this shit is getting posted. I may try again tomorrow!

I’ll make you sorry that you ever loved me; you’ll make me sorry I bought that chair. You’ve got this way of staring at sofas that makes a girl think that she’ll never compare. Surly and strutting, sarcastic and cutting, I think we’ll agree I’m a catch— but you took a good look at my heart and bought curtains to match. I never expected that I’d be selecting a tasteful assortment of chiffon and lace, I turn a corner and I’m in your memories; every room in the house is your face. I thought what I wanted was some little box with a roof and a lock that’s secure— but you took a good look at my heart and you widened the doors. I hardly know what to do with myself so God knows what I’d do to a lover, and if you had an inch of your natural sense I just know you’d be running for cover— I really thought I was ready for anything, I’ve been preparing for famine and strife, You came along and it’s sunshine and butterflies; I’ve never been so afraid in my life, You should be joking, I thought you were joking, I knew what to do with a joke but you took a good look at my heart and you called it Baroque. I hardly know what to do with myself, I have barely been keeping it clean, but I don’t have an inch of my natural sense and I’d like to be somewhere that’s green— So scatter your pillows and bring out your swatches, I’ll drape the fabric and carry your bags, I’ve got a sofa and it practically matches, I’ve got a soul that is basically rags, I’ve got no resources left in the bank, but I’m willing to take out a loan— if you’ll let me into your heart, I could make it a home.

I gave my neopet Essek the new petpet - it’s got the perfect matching color scheme!

The Neopets NFT Debacle: A Summary Somehow Not The First Time This Has Happened!

So. Neopets recently announced its latest merchandising venture: Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Without getting into the nitty-gritty technical details, these tokens are a digital collector’s item - a randomly-generated string of letters and numbers (’token’), with a unique picture of a customized Neopet that represents it. Kind of like a digital trading card.

No, you don’t get to choose what species of pet. No, you don’t get to choose what it’s wearing. No, you don’t get the pet on the main website. And no, you don’t even really own the artwork. Just the token.

Given that Neopets has continued to advertise itself as a children’s petsite, players have understandably been confused by the very non-kiddy merch move. And - more importantly - pissed.

It’s been a mess of a few days so here’s a quick recap of both the details and drama.

TA-DA!

[neofashion]

the site is so laggy for me on old-format pages (like the rainbow fountain) that it took me six tries to even get it to work but I GOT THERE

[neofashion]

scratch that last one, i’m pretty sure I’m going to go with Stealthy.  took me a while to find an image of the base Stealthy Uni paint color without the clothes because all the sites i used to use for this were flash-dependent but I FOUND ONE EVENTUALLY and it looks basically perfect.  dark blue base color, not so dark that you can’t make out the features (which is the problem with, say, shadow), big blue eyes, and white mane and tail.

please stand by for floaty hot boi in neopet form

OH SHIT I TOTALLY FORGOT THAT THE LAST TIME I WAS PLAYING REGULARLY I GOT A FOUNTAIN FAERIE QUEST

I CAN TOTALLY PAINT MY ESSEK PET WHATEVER I WANT!!!

heeeelp meeeee, i need to decide what’s best WHAT IS THE BEST COLOR TO PAINT A UNI TO MAKE IT RESEMBLE ESSEK THELYSS???

I go through periods where I play neopets every day, and then lulls where I’ll go like a year without even logging in, but eventually I remember I have pets and I’ll feel bad because they’re all hungry so I’ll go in and feed them a bunch, and today I was doing that and I wound up buying food from the general store because it’s easier than trying to get it from other sources, and I saw that one of the options for food you can always buy is Hot Soup.

And my critter ass went “lol if Essek was your neopet you could always feed him Hot Soup”

and THEN i went “wait but what if Essek WAS my neopet?”

So anyway, now I have another neopet I have to remember to feed.

i had forgotten that you get a free cupcake for your pet’s birthday the day you create it, so now i’m crying over getting to feed essek a cupcake ;~;
