how cool are you with like. spam reblogs bc i keep staring at ur art really hard and then doing a total 180 and end up not reblogging anything which is REALLY lame but it's bc i know myself and wanted to avoid spamming as much as possible bc id end up reblogging 95% of ur posts BAUDHJSF

MEGA 10000000% ENCOURAGED ACTUALLY if you like it a lot then go for it!! i dont find it annoying at all and im surethat goes for a lot of artists. i think i can safely say we're just glad u like it enough to go "HEY LOOK WGAT THIS PERSON MADE". also id take it over a row of likes any day

if you are worried about spamming notifications you could always try queueing or saving it as a draft!! so you can decide when you want it reblogged or let the site decide for u <3

O.K. I finished listening to A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers and I am veery strangely going to say that I? liked it? a lot more than I thought I would, at least.

It goes like this:

1. hear about the book

2. listen to the book

3. "this is so bad. but slightly entertaining."

4. "this is still bad. but VERY entertaining."

5. le finish

I actually really liked it LAWL cause it was a WRECK all the way thru it just took some time for me to resign myself to it like fuck it. I have no reason not to listen to this. & the narrator's voice does help cause it's fun to listen to...

BUT the NUMBER ONE THING I HATED about this book was the way it was written sometimes. I don't have the like, written version at hand, but it would compare things / enumerate things VERY often & it got annoying REAL fast. I got over it though because that's my #1 power (overlooking things), so I didn't really care by the end.

+ ANOTHER thing I hated about it was this one moment where the MC is thinking back on the time she was raped and she's like "I was getting raped. Fascinating." like yeah it's stated like a BAJILLION times in the book that she's, like, a psychopath or whatever but it felt unnecessary, like it (the entire stalker-then-rapist) subplot was there to show how I don't even know, emotionless? uncaring? she was. It felt pointless as an "anecdote" because IIRC it doesn't really DO anything for the plot. She doesn't even kill the guy! Not saying she would because it's like a Thing that she only kills and eats men she is attracted to / has had a relationship with, but that's the point of what I'm saying: she tells us about being stalked and raped, she says it's "fascinating", she doesn't ever see the guy OR mention him again. It's probably half because it's upsetting to me but also half because it really WAS pointless.

My favorite part was her friendship with Emma tho that was very good 👍 & the end when she doesn't marry the guy because she sees herself being "good" and doesn't like what she sees, is a much better show of character than getting raped and going "wow". Sorry I'm hung up on that LOL it was just confusing.

n e ways I liked it v v v entertaining, Idk how many stars perhaps 3.5 🌟. Dante's review CONCLUDED

[bongjuiceconcentrate]

ok so apparently all the capitalists have rly banned together and now there is a national data base that keeps track of EVERY return u make with out a receipt at EVERY store and u r only allowed to make 3 returns per year with out a receipt. which is fucking wild remember when they used to donthe returns because thats what stores did and u just got a little gift card but no now u can only return 3 things per year or they get u. and i havent even returned anything and they said im on my last one today. like how

[time-was-over]

you should read cisco…. NOW!!!!

[grackles]

This is the best website out of all of them because number (one) it feels normal and number (two) I don't fucking reccomend it to anybody.

QUESTIONABLE THINGS IVY HAS SAID

VIDEO START ▶️

“if cats have nine lives, why do jungwon and jay only have one.”

it was in the middle of Manifesto tour where each of them had their own separate rooms. ivy was going mental and bored out of her mind so she decided to turn on a live.

someone commented about jay and jungwon being adorable cats.

“jungwon and jay are adorable. they’re like newborn kittens.” ivy reads off the comment. she hums.

“that’s true. they’re adorable but something irks me.”

“if cats have nine lives, why do jungwon and jay only have one.” she asks in a genuine and questioning tone.

— philosopher vivi working overtime

“we love a sexy barbeque man.”

there were a series of knocks and ivy singing ‘do you want to build a snowman’ outside of sunghoon’s door. it was late at night so ivy did it softly. after all, they finished their concert like an hour ago.

after jay opens the door, ivy joins the live and waves to the camera. jay and sunghoon went on about how tan jay looks compared to sunghoon.

“you look like a good fried chicken.” ivy says.

“what?”

“we love a sexy barbeque man.” she does those chef kisses. the two boys never understood what was going on in ivy’s head.

— i want whatever drugs she’s on

“you🫵🏻 come over here👇🏻 WRIGHT☝🏻 NAOW😤.”

with jungwon zooming around and having a lot of energy, ivy couldn’t fully focus on reading through the ENGENEs comments.

she was really trying. as she reads, jungwon zoom pasts her trying to find a way to lose his high tension.

“you🫵🏻 come over here👇🏻 WRIGHT☝🏻 NAOW😤.” she tells jungwon in English, sounding like a mother scolding her child. jungwon runs back around and sits next to her like a good boy. they continued their live properly.

— aww mama duck vivi

“WHATS WITH THE SKINNY BAMBOO LOOKING LEGS?? COULDN’T THEY HAVE GIVEN OUR DARK MOON CHARACTERS MEAT??”

when the dark moon WEBTOON came out, ivy was curious about the story so she decided to go ahead and read out loud during the live. as she scrolls through, she notices the characters not having much figure.

“what the-” she looks at the characters and then the live and then back at the characters.

“why are they so skinny?”

— engene: “so we’re not the only ones that think that?”

“definitely but oh my god. someone feed the poor vampires- oh sorry for sooha I meant non-vampire. she’s not a vampire everyone. don’t misunderstand.”

“actually, I have to complain to HYBE. why in the world are they so skinny and where in the hell is my character.”

— engene: “oof ivy popping off💅🏻💅🏻”

“WHATS WITH THE SKINNY BAMBOO LOOKING LEGS?? COULDN’T THEY HAVE GIVEN OUR DARK MOON CHARACTERS MEAT??” the passion as she says so.

— passionate vivi. she protects and attacks🤺

*stares at bird* “he would probably make a good source of protein.”

ivy was busy staring out the window. she was bored. waiting for their turn at Inkigayo for their Sweet Venom recording.

“noona, what are you doing?” jay asks as he comes up behind her with a camera.

“looking out the window.” she lays her head against the window and shuts her eyes a little. “I wanna sleep.”

“same. now would be a good time to sleep, I’m dead tired.” jay says.

her stomach grumbles a little. “urgh, now I’m hungry.” just then, a bird had perched onto the ledge in front of the window.

“god, the things I’d do for some chicken.” jay groans. ivy points to the bird and stares at it.

“he would probably make a good source of protein.”

jay has never whipped his head so fast. it’s almost like he would get a whiplash. “HE WHAT?”

— you know she’s crazy when jay looks at her weird

“crazy? I was crazy once. they locked me in a room, a room with sunghoon, and sunghoon makes me crazy. crazy-”

ivy was busy reading a few comments since she was bored and didn’t exactly know what to show the ENGENEs. she was seriously trying to think of a content she could do to engage the audience.

“mmm, do aeygo?” she deadpans at the camera. “sorry, I’m not an aeygo master. you can ask sunoo.”

that is until she decides to pull one aeygo out of nowhere. she easily gets embarrassed. “okay, okay, no more. I look like a goblin doing aeygo.”

“where is sunghoon?” she reads out loud. “he’s probably at the dorms. he finished his schedule for the day.”

“does sunghoon make you crazy? huh? you mean in what way?”

“in general?” she thinks for a second, “crazy? I was crazy once. they locked me in a room, a room with sunghoon, and sunghoon makes me crazy. crazy-”

ENGENEs were commenting thinking ivy drank soju before doing the live.

— not her following that one meme😭😭

“sometimes in life you just have to life.”

ivy was basically doing her normal thing. reading the live comments and also entertaining ENGENEs.

“do you ever feel like a plastic bag.” she reads off the comment. “yes, everyday. i wanna drift through the wind and i want to start life again.”

“noona, are you drunk.”

“I’d like to know too. Maybe this tea has alcohol inside of it but no, I’m not drunk as far as I know.”

“what do you do when life doesn’t go your way.”

“deep question. I like it.” she sighs, “sometimes in life, you just have to life.” she makes a sad face, wiping her fake tears.

“it’s true, that’s how life works when it doesn’t go your way.”

– oml philosopher vivi strikes again

“even if you don’t succeed, just fail.”

in yet another solo live she did, she had basically gotten viral for making these ‘inspiring’ quotes. multiple people praising her because she can make up this true story-comedy quotes.

“unnie, make more inspiring quotes.” she hums at the comment. “give me something you want me to make a quote out of.”

she skims through the various comments, “ah, mmm. you failed a test? I’m so sorry about that.”

“umm, even if you don’t succeed. just fail. studying isn’t everything. you can always try again!”

– I’m gonna kiss her. she’s so perfect

“I’m a sunbae??? THEY ARE HOW OLD??”

with illit debuting, enhypen was finally a sunbae. they had hoobaes under BELIFT Lab now and so ivy heard about them. the boys were just talking about it during the backstage video.

“we are sunbaes now.” jake says.

“mmm.”

“and they are younger than ni-ki. I believe the average age is about 18.6.” jake continues. Ivy hums again before she processes what jake was truly saying then she practically whips her head over.

“I’m a sunbae??? THEY ARE HOW OLD??” she says in shock.

– the cultural shock ivy experienced.

Ivy: turning 23 this year

Iroha: turning 16 this year

neopets ideas for adding more stuff:

grooming item awards: monthly bronze/silver/gold trophy for your pets, divided by species (each trophy would be "vain uni", "vain chia", "vain draik", etc.) based on which neopets used the most grooming items in a month. there would also be a lifetime 'vanity award' more like the booktastic award we know and love

petpet beauty competitions: not like the actual neopet beauty contest, but imagine like a neopian dog show. every monday and friday, you'd pick one of your neopets' petpets to participate in the contest; entry fee is a few 'petpet supplies' items (as a donation to help petpet shelters!). 25 entrants will be picked at random to receive a ribbon for their pet's lookup.

gamer faerie. random event where a faerie challenges you to score a certain amount in a game so you can earn items (a stamp, maybe a negg, anything above a certain rarity threshold). "laria the gamer faerie swoops in and says "i bet you can't score 2900 in typing terror! see you in the games room" and flies off."

wheel of extravagance DELUXE: one million per spin, you can earn either: an avatar, an album item, a neodeck card, a random petpet or petpetpet, or a petpet paint brush.

replace the intelligence stat with "books read", and add a new INT stat that can be increased by taking your neopet to complete their education at school. the entry fee for the school is a few stationery items and you have a chance of bringing home a book of a certain rarity threshold.

*if* dacardia is ever implemented, we could be able to help rebuild it through the site itself. add a daily quest like taelia's/the chef's/edna's where a randomly generated dacardia resident (just a static image of a pet of a random color) will ask for certain furniture items (both classic and 2.0 neohome items) to rebuild their home.

neopets hire me naow. i bring you back to relevance.

So recently I remembered that weird af game trailer from years ago during the PS5 reveal conference, featuring anthro characters one of wich I doubly-erroneously thought was a bird-girl.

Turns out the game is called Goodbye Volcano High and it got delayed several times, but it’s actually coming out in a few months as of this post, and something I read about its premise has me OBSESSED.

So the characters are actually anthropomorphic dinosaurs, and while I don’t prefer this kind of anthro animal designs (reptiles with human hair), turns out they are like this FOR A REASON:

The meteor is coming.

The meteor that killed the dinosaurs.

Everyone in this game is going to die. And the protagonists are teenagers, who were made to believe they had a whole life ahead of them. And the adults would rather just have everyone go on with their routine like nothing’s wrong.

So the protagonists have to decide what to do with the short time they have left, confront their identities and be true to themselves. The pterodactyl protagonist Fang, for example, is non-binary and part of a rock band. Depending on the player’s decisions the rock songs they are composing and playing throughout the game will change.

The paralels with the pandemic and other recent events as experienced by today’s youth are inevitable, and likely played a big factor during its development... yet the original trailer I mentioned in the first paragraph (not the one I posted) came out in 2020. They already had this idea before the pandemic.

While doom and gloom can be found at any point in history, I wonder if at least some of the people involved in the game grew up during the 80s and very early 90s, near the end of the Cold War, back when mutual annihilation via nuclear weapons seemed inevitable, even to little kids.

It doesn’t take much digging to find examples of dinosaurs being used irl to cope with the Cold War fears of nuclear armaggedon. They could be used as metaphors, how nuclear weapons were going to “take us back to the stone age like in The Flintstones”, or comparing it with the meteor that killed the dinosaurs (The 1988 song “Walk the Dinosaur” by Was Not Was, wich many may remember from the old Super Mario Bros. movie and Ice Age 3, is actually about this; there are some clues in the lyrics but the band has outright confirmed it).

On the other hand, dinosaurs had a rise in popularity during the 80s due to new discoveries, and served as nice escapism. Why fear a nuke when you could be crying your heart out while watching The Land Before Time? The 80s was even the decade when the theory that it was a meteor that killed the dinosaur became mainstream. Associaction!

So anyway... the game is finally coming out June 15 August 29, but I want to play it NAOW!!1! Let me laugh in the face of the apocalypse with my dinofriends!

Also if you were turned off from this game due to some shitty content online, know that it was made by a vocal minority trying to sabotage it for being LGBTQ+ friendly. Just ignore them. Do not make this about them. The game will stand on its own.
