From what i can gather, he commands the black fleet, right? that fleet has plagued the seekers for a long time without realising because the symptoms don’t always display immediately, but once they get thumbs we’re screwed and will be dead Within a year and a half feet long! wow!

#QUOTE #DAY 11 #From what I can gather #he commands the Siege dancers from an Imperial squadron!? hey! don't move!! there's a Spy! drag his body inside the Ship

Something Something Avatar The Last Airbender was fundamentally about showing the horrible long-lasting effects of both war and violence in a grand sense (the way people suffer under fire nation occupation including the air nomad genocide and the state of the southern water tribe) but also a personal sense (zukos entire arch) and the show goes to great lengths to avoid glorifying war, often specifically choosing only depict the aftermath of terrible violence while not graphically depicting the violence itself.

And I think it's a profound misunderstanding, maybe even an insult to the source text to continually depict gratuitous death and violence as a focal point of the live action.

strap in folks it's time for another neopets drama update

some background reading before we begin: back when neopets wanted to introduce customisation (i.e. dressing up your pet) in 2007, they decided to 'convert' all existing pet art to align with a rigid body structure, rather than all having unique poses. it was just not feasible to create new pieces of art for hundreds of different pet poses every single time they released a new clothing them

customisation had been highly requested up until this point. however, the conversion was NOT popular. in some cases, particularly for basic colours, the change wasn't huge, but in other cases.... uh....

you get the idea. the more expensive colours like plushie, faerie, grey, royal and darigan got the worst of it because they had the more unique poses pre-conversion, and therefore it was largely agreed that the change to the stiff 'samey', frankly kinda goofy converted look did not look great

most users did not get a choice in having their neopet converted and it was done automatically, but if you had one of these colours where the change was huge, you were given the choice of converting or retaining the old pose (but not having the option to customise your pet). those pets that retained the old, pre-conversion poses are therefore referred to as 'unconverted', or UC for short

once a pet is converted, there's no returning to UC. you also couldn't create UC pets anymore, making UCs a limited resource that would only increase in value with time, particularly as people abandon their pets, leave the site, get frozen, etc.

i could write an entire dissertation on the drama that UC pets have caused for the pet trading economy, the neopet account black market, and general retention of the userbase, but to sum it up, people REALLY want UC pets. they are the single most coveted status symbol on the site

we skip forward now to 2023

the neopets team are planning to introduce UC pets back to the site, so that people will be able to create their own UC pets again for the first time post-converstion (legally at least)

they drip feed bits of information over the year about what this will look like. the main points are

changing a pet to UC will be done via some kind of item bought with neocash, the premium currency on neopets that you need to spend real money to get

putting this item on your pet will give it the UC art style appearance

so. not much really known. but expected release is set for january 2024

yesterday, they hosted an AMA focusing on the new UC pet system and how this was going to work. noticeably absent is any explanation of how much this is actually going to cost and whether it is going to involve any kind of gatcha mechanic, so that's causing our first lot of concern

second lot of drama is that the new UCs aren't actually going to be COMPLETELY the same as the old art, as they're making some small changes for style consistency, see below (old on top, new below):

the biggest drama, however, comes from how they're dealing with the 'original' UC pets. ALL pets will be getting forcibly converted on the 23rd, with anyone who has a pet that is already an original UC immediately receiving the UC neocash item. there's mention of possibly some kind of trophy or badge recognition for particularly old pets, but it's vague, and generally seems like it won't be possible to distinguish between the original UCs and these new ones

the people who already have OCs are not happy about this

people are allegedly pounding their pets, cancelling their premium, and quitting the site in protest. the boards are flooded with people complaining about the changes and laughing at the downfall of the 'neo-elite' in equal measure

it's t-minus 5 days until the second great conversion goes live. let's all pray for our souls

#eloise talks #neopets #neotag #this isnt even going into peoples displeasure at the fact you dont even need to be the og colour to make it oc #i.e. from what we can gather you can have a red kacheek #apply this nc uc item #and then it can look like an uc faerie kacheek?#AND the drama over this now destroying the uc market and possibly requiring people to get gift boxes for trading #i can keep going

man

#maybe im being pessimistic abt this. im not saying u should wear a mask every waking moment of your life god knows i cant #but also. hell no i dont trust u if anything i distrust u ppl even more after how things played out for the past 3 years #like there are situations where it might be inevitable catching covid. most of my family members are nurses and in constant contact #but there are also a ton of ways to make that risk low as possible like masking and wearing a face shield and having sanitizer #for me its not enough to just say oh we're in a small group and we're all vaccinated #motherfucker your kid is sick from preschool EVERY TIME WE VISIT. of course ill be wearing a mask she gave me covid last year #also no the fuck it isnt seasonal the cases go up because lack of caution makes the virus spread and mutate especially around times when #ppl gather. add that with virus transmission in cold weather and its a matter of different factors increasing the risk of spread #im also tired of ppl not understanding that i wont be their responsibility if i do get sick. maybe they can help me recover #but at the end of the day the risk of death and long term health is all on me. i cant change that #the govt barely gives me accommodations what makes u think theyll do anything for every individual case of long covid or worse #im so tired. im so tired #i dont even know if its possible to want this to be over anymore i just wish we didnt have to deal with this in the first place #ALSO COUGH INTO YOUR SLEEVE SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS SO HARD TO REMEMBER #oh its just a cold/dry throat its not like i have covid or anything. no!! its basic hygiene!!! how is this so hard to understand!!!!!!!!!!#and no this isnt abt whether people have the means to protect themselves this is me bitching abt my relatives not taking me seriously #vent #my art #myart #doodles #covid 19

I love how going into the stock market tag on trending tells you absolutely nothing about why the stock market is trending

#it’s all just jokes about the destiel meme and how today has been crazy #from what i can gather it’s because there was a rumor about logitech suing oceangate because the whole titan thing tanked their stock?#but that turned out not to be true?#idk i’m just soaking in the chaos at this point #stock market

mistystar n who

I think fratboy Podlight who sends his powerful grandmother stupid texts is a VERY funny concept.

"My dad didn't love me because he could never move on from the lover he had in his 20s. My sister is up to no good. I party hard at Aftergatherings about it, are you rockin' with me?"

He is 38 cat-years-old.

#BB!Podlight #Aftergatherings #Better bones au #Fennelposting #There's a secret AU of the AU where everything is exactly the same but the cats have the ability to text tbh #I do occasionally just for fun imagine what their phones would be like for no particular reason #Misty is the sort of old person you think you'll have to teach how to use an app #But the moment never comes and you find out she actually has a whole ass burner phone and even refuses to upgrade to--#--a more modern model because she doesn't trust a device she can't take the battery out of #And your blood goes cold for a moment because like... Gamgam?? Silly funny gamgam with the long speeches at gatherings???#When pressed she's just like ''once you give a secret to the world you can never take it back. Knowledge is power and power is a weapon.''#It's fun. I wish I had a way to translate half of these fun phone thought experiments into canon compliance lmao #Btw just as an aside. If this ever DID become an original project it would probably take some inspiration from like...#I really love the new Zelda games' magitech take on an apocalypse. VERY cool idea.#Months ago I had a passing thought of Fallen causing such an apocalypse and entertained it for fun for a while.#Put it down ofc because I like the project in its current form #But it was a fun thought.

i'll admit, i know absolutely nothing about kissinger, aside from having heard the name, but i again find myself in a weird spot bc i see the entire internet celebrate that the guy finally died and now i see the news and hes getting big coverage and is talked about only positively ...

ever since i learned about the whoel deal with what israel is doing to palestine i have huge doubt on the news and i cant say this isnt adding to that and im pretty sure im right about this case too

#ganondoodles talks #random #dont have time rn but will probably do some research on it #what i find interesting is that my mom believes he stopped the war in vietnam #when i gathered from context so far the he did the opposite ... among more horrific shit #also when i said that i think hes like .. bad #my mom just went -but isnt he a jew???-#and im #so what???#anyone of any religion can be a shitass person??#also theres a place in germany that just got named after him ...

#slugterra #what a way to describe Halloween to someone who has never participated in it before #and Trixie's reaction... priceless #this is the most underrated quote of the show #she probably thought Eli and Will were insane before she learned about the surface #I can totally see Eli bringing Halloween to slugterra #like once a year Dr. Blakk and his ghouls will come back and everyone has to wear costumes to confuse them #and the only way to get rid of him is to gather up candy from the neighbors #I mean he brought Christmas to slugterra why not Halloween #anyway Happy Halloween everyone 🎃 👻

Gonna pass out here after this, but concept of Hordika matoran. Imagine how little they'd be

#bionicle #em's rambles #imagine a hordika matoran kapura #can you imagine the beans? all the different body types regarding their environments?#fluffy hordika matoro who acts like an arctic fox #po-matoran hordika that gather up in groups like meerkats or prairie dogs #le-matoran hordika being like squirrels or birds and loving to travel from tree to tree and hoarding shiny objects #i like thinking of what ifs

ok im going to swing a bat at a hornest's nest right now. what the fuck is the locked tomb actually about. what is it about and why is everyone on my dash obsessed with it AND YOU CAN'T JUST SAY 'IT'S GOT LESBIAN NECROMANCERS IN SPACE'. I KNOW THAT. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PLOT IS HERE

#tlt #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #idk what else to tag this with i'm just hoping that tlt fans can find it and tell me what the hell these books are actually about #bc let me tell you the goodreads summary is giving me NOTHING #i know gideon and harrow are the lesbians #and apparently god(?) is in it???? somehow??? but he's just a guy called john?????#no idea what the fuck is up with that #also this is a genuine question please explain because i am genuinely curious what these books are about and why everyone loves them #because everything i have seen so far makes zero sense to me out of context #(and from what i've gathered often it makes zero sense in context too)

Pomme: Dadboyhalo feels stressed and unappreciated and just wants to hear how much you value him

Forever: I hear you Pomme, I’ll do something special for Bad

Also Forever: if anybody gets caught stealing furniture they will be arrested, as decided by the few residents currently on the server

Bad: thanks I hate it!

#qsmp #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp forever #the timing could not be worse/better #from what I gather the decision might not be real?#noticing Q!Forever has a similar humor to Bad but it also by that thread can end badly if not careful #Such as Forever pretending to be mad at Baghera and Bad and then never clearing the air so they genuinely believe he’s still upset #if he cleared this up I missed it but last I remember Bad was still mad so #Bad is the same but Bad does try to touch base after #such as when pranking Maximus #not that it makes it less cruel but it does help to have it cleared
