considering Neopets has an item dedicated to changing your pet's gender and how easy it is to alter their color and species I think being trans would just be accepted immediately. like no one really cares that your red Ixi coworker is now a woman when Bob from accounting woke up one morning and decided he wanted to become a pea

so for chia day transparent chias became avaliable and going by the look chias are actually single celled organisms? which is... interesting.

oh my god. the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the chia

pending reclassification of the Chia species from Animalia to the Protist/Monera/Vira superkingdom???

Since its Halloween, its only fitting to share this Neopet Dead Chia avatar. This was a quick animation job, but at the time I didnt know this meme was so popular.

top 5 pets that got DESTROYED by the conversion, and top 5 that got BETTER from the conversion.

Destroyed:

Wocky: The eyes going from triangular to rectangular and the addition of giant eyebrows (plus the different mouth shape) makes this pet look absolutely terrible for literally no reason. There's not even an excuse for why this one looks bad; they just changed it Because.

Kyrii: While there are some improvements here (the mane), the entire head shape of the Kyrii went from narrow at the bottom to wide, making them look strange and loosing most of the trickster vibe. The underbelly going up higher also screws with the ability to read the mouth.

Kiko: The pre-conversion Kiko was very dated and badly needed new art, but this ain't it. Things like the eye spacing, muzzle, and very wide mouth ruined any of the cute aspects of this pet.

Poogle: A more subtle one, but the change in shading and removal of most of the lines on the face/chin really screwed it up, going from a cute fat creature to something really off-putting. Also, unlike the above examples, the converted version is also just straight-up worse with no improvements.

Lutari: Outside of losing the fun, dynamic pose, the Lutari's anatomy and details got really messed up conversion—foot size changed, markings changed, eye shape changed, etc. The converted isn't the worst-looking pet or anything like that, but like the Poogle, nothing was improved.

Improved:

Chia: I don't know if it's just me, but I always really disliked the weird lower lip of Chias and was very glad to see it go. The artwork was also in bad need of an update, with most of the janky linework being fixed (look at that foot on the pre-conversion one).

Peophin: The old Peophin art had some weird stuff going on around the tail and was very under-detailed, so the new version just cleaned it up and improved the anatomy and shading without altering the design much.

Tonus: Another one with dated, poorly-shaded art. However, the big improvement here to me is the expression, with the pre-conversion face looking weirdly detailed in all the wrong places. Once again, just a nice clean-up that doesn't alter the pet too much.

Elephante: Similar to the Tonu, this is once again a pet with badly dated artwork that just cleaned things up and greatly improved the weird expression. The anatomy has been fixed (look at that wing on the pre-conversion art and you'll see what I mean) and the design is also much easier to read. The head piece is also now removable, which is a nice option to have available.

Aisha: The pre-conversion Aisha wasn't terrible or anything, but it had very dated, hard-to-read art that needed an update anyway. The converted version is just the same thing but overall better, and as a bonus, the collar can now be removed if desired.
