"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"

#wait reblogging again to say#i also feel this way about rodents being mean and/or suicidal#if you think all rodents are seconds away from taking a chunk out of your finger maybe rethink being near rodents. ever.#the reason your small pet is skittish and scared of you and bites when you touch it and died after a month#is that you have no idea how to handle them and know nothing about the care requirements. via @cupidispretty extremely accurate peer reviewed

Neopets OCs - Oh Dear Family

--- Some extra info: - This comic takes place during and after "Battle for Meridell", as Lord Kass attacking Meridell again made Sol's Brightvale family nervous. They fled to Faerieland to get away from the encroaching conflict, and hoped to return and continue their kids' education there once things seemed safe. - The characters Iridesia and Tavi make a bit of a cameo here. It is unclear when they started questing for Iridesia's name and when Iridesia became a grey faerie vs being a light faerie, so I based it off of when grey faerie items were released on site. If it is ever revealed Iridesia was greyed AFTER the Meridell wars, then just pretend they are a light faerie here, and Tavi is not there. - The TABs on this comic are for a "Lute Dulcimer" which is just a "Mountain Dulcimer" in the shape of a lute. You can play it on a mountain dulcimer too by swapping the top and bottom strings. It is meant to just be idle chord strumming, like someone practicing or experimenting with different chords.

dude you cannot be seriousssss

tell me your writers straight-up didn't realize Luperus was intended to be a weird Lupe without telling me your writers straight-up didn't realize Luperus was intended to be a weird Lupe. you might as well have just used a Bearog.

genuinely has there every been a case where a character that looked like a neopet wasn't? are they gonna tell me ixi raider isn't an ixi because they're different from the standard ixi, even with the species in the name

or is it because they made him unable to talk, because I FUCKING HATE the implication of that

they can't be a person/neopet if they're not verbal so they must be an animal/petpet, is that it?

also petpet isn't even a synonym for animal its literally pet, there are non petpet creatures and animals so why would tav default to calling him a petpet aarrg, that's like saying someone owns bigfoot because it didn't kill them

honestly I expected them to release some butt ugly luperus petpet item to try and cover their ass instead of ever just admitting they misspoke or made a dumb choice

I ALSO THOUGHT OF THE IXI RAIDER WHEN I SAW THIS ANSWER. Genuinely I don't think there's ever been a case of 'Neopets character that looks like a member of a species of Neopet but actually isn't' outside of cases like shapeshifting entities or other magical shenanigans. I guess there's Baby Blu petpets having heads that look like Blumaroo heads, but their description has always said they were named for the resemblance - no retcons or ignoring/overlooking the canon.

I didn't think about the implications with the 'not being able to speak' part... yeah that's. A bit unfortunate, oof.

#they took him being in a cave in the haunted woods form the card but ignored the part that said he was a lupe explicitly

And to this - I discovered this on my own after making this post but yeah the site has previously specifically called him a Lupe (in the stamp item descriptions though, not the card. But the point still stands.)

Honestly I think it's a tossup whether they knew about and then deliberately chose to ignore the 'Lupe' part of these descriptions for??? contrived story reasons??? that absolutely REQUIRED a three-headed petpet, or if they didn't know about this at all and they simply got lucky that they set him in the Haunted Woods in the plot (he's already very Haunted Woods-coded, so it's not a stretch). Again ignoring that even without the stamp descriptions he is very obviously supposed to be an Unusual Lupe the way the Ixi Raider is an Unusual Ixi.

For real I would've taken a last-minute new Luperus Petpet over this 'clearly trying and utterly failing to cover their asses' answer 😔

its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.
