here's the actual neopet, ultra stinky Poisonpetal the acara with his equally stinky blorbis, who got a gold trophy in the neopets beauty contest last week with 38 votes.

drawing my neopets as creepy plant creatures is self care ♥

a pencil drawing of a neopet with a body mostly made of plant roots, standing next to a large dripping mushroom. it has long clawed fingers, big dark eyes, and leaves growing from its neck. the ends of its roots are submerged in an opaque pool.

And don't forget: enough tips on Ko-Fi will add Lord Kass as a public avatar to the world with the next update! The Snowager has been added with this update.

I lost my job in August and haven't started my new one yet, so any support is SUPER appreciated! ❤️

Neopia Central VRChat's BIG update dropped today too, and a good handful of these quad boris are available to try on there.

Calling all Neopians!This VRChat Unity package is for my quadruped Bori model, based on the Bori species from Neopets! It is a reworked version of my Anthro Bori avatar and utilizes the same animators...

I was devastated when they changed the rules and I could no longer have edwardscisor.midi playing on the background of my petpage u_u

if you visit Praedius while exploring Neopia Central VRChat, he will be rude to you (but only a little).

apologies for the wait on world updates! but it's finally coming: look for the world update on Monday Oct. 13th, which is also Bori day on Neopets!

I'm sure posting this at 4am will be fine!!

I’d do a rock/ghost that was a broken open geode with a ghost in it, but it would have grandpa vibes and a beard made of crystals. Its name would be Geold and it would have regional forms with different kinds/colors of crystals.

oh dang, well, welcome! hope you're having fun! :3
to give you a more helpful answer, jellyneo.net has good donation guide, and is also a great resource otherwise.

the daily omelette and jelly are decent for points sometimes, and you might find extra junk at the money tree!

I will get back to my regularly scheduled Neopets-posting tomorrow, but today KurtJMac is reaching the Far Lands after over 14 years and I haven't felt such excitement for an online event since Twitch Plays Pokemon.

I haven't sewn anything in a while, so I spent a few hours hand sewing a little shirt for my labubu. I got the accessories while trinket trading at the renaissance faire a couple months ago. I think I want to complete this outfit with some kind of hooded cloak.
it's nice to do a little craft!

I had to mute it, which is something I don't often feel the need to do. x_x
It was filling the neopets list feed with gross looking weird ai-lookin garbage, making it difficult to find the content I was actually looking for.

What is its purpose? What is it for? Who is it for??

I'm steadily working on a few new, maybe secret?? areas to explore in Neopia Central VRChat! You DO have a flying avatar, right? ;D

hope to see you sunday!

There are invisible walls around Neopia Central VRChat, but if you're an out of bounds kind of explorer, you may have discovered they're not infinitely tall. There isn't anything to see out there but mess (pictured), but I'm thinking I might add something to reward folks who have escaped the tubes.

something to look forward to with the next update to Neopia Central VRChat is that I replaced all the ugly disc buttons that toggle the music with meepits!
they don't look out of place just hanging out in random corners, and it is their song that plays, after all.
