#kiko's polls

[siriuslysatorusimping]

Gauging interest in this idea from the recent ask:

Including some of the ideas I listed in the ask earlier below the cut :)

One thing I could do is have multiple tiers, similar to patreon or maybe using patreon, where I post more frequent previews of things I’ve got in my drafts:

au ideas

unfinished or scrapped ideas

Bittersweet Memories

the angsty blurb that I now call Stepping Stone thanks to that one amazing anon

the self-indulgent untitled bit I’ve been writing).

I could maybe do member/sub polls and votes to help me choose titles and stuff, too?

Exclusive content like reveals or headcanons that I have that might never be included in the main story.

I could also have tiers that get early access to installments or chapters for the ongoing series (e.g. Another Level, Physical Paradox, Gokudō, Before I Love You). Higher tiers could also have exclusive content like reveals or headcanons or blurbs that I've written but will likely never be included in any of the main series? It would be a big time commitment because I’d want to do it right, but it could be fun too, I think?

If there’s any interest at all, I’ll start looking into it more. I would either use ko-fi or Patreon, I think. Unless I found something better or anyone has better suggestions for a platform. (I think tumblr might even have something like this but idk how much I like it tbh)

Let me know what you guys think?

Abominable Snowball (poll at bottom)

sorry about the delay in getting this blog up n' postin', I realized after getting setup going that I don't actually know how I want to order this stuff. anyway, let's start by going roughly alphabetical

this is an Abominable Snowball!

Abominable Snowball A great friend... for as long as the weather stays cold.

Item Category: Wintery Petpet

Available From: Restocks in Wintery Petpets (Terror Mountain), but also available from the Ice Arena of the Battledome (Terror Mountain) and The Snowager (Terror Mountain)

the other places the Abominable Snowball occurs use rarity-based systems of item generation (i.e. they can give any item of a certain rarity regardless of origin, e.g Esophagor in Haunted Woods, The Wishing Well in Neopia Central, Kiko Pop in Kiko Lake).

therefore it's pretty easy to determine that the Abominable Snowball's natural territory is Terror Mountain, primarily Happy Valley and the Ice Caves.

Habitat: Terrorpolar Alpine Forests

here's the rub: Abominable Snowballs may not be naturally occurring

How to Build an Abominable Snowball Its quite easy once you look up how.

Abominable Snowballs can be built! this doesn't preclude them occurring naturally, but it is possible to roll some snow together, decorate it, and bring forth new life

note: it is not actually mechanically possible within the game of Neopets to build an Abominable Snowball, but that does not mean it doesn't happen outside of player influence.

(there is the question of whether Abominable Snowballs are even sentient, but it's the opinion of this blog that all Petpets are alive, or at least self-mobile, even Rocks, because all Petpets can enter and exit the Symol Hole independently)

this puts the Abominable Snowball's kingdom as either Elementa or Constructa, depending on whether they occur without Neopet influence.

i couldn't find any other items that lead me to believe one way or another, except that it's probably a common pastime to build Abominable Snowballs as one would a snowman:

Abominable Snowball Fights Those poor Abominable Snowballs...

Abominable Snowball Usuki Set This Usuki set comes with a carrot, mittens and buttons to dress up your Usukis Abominable Snowball.

the Abominable Snowball Acara Muffler and Abominable Snowball Acara Wig even equate the Abominable Snowball to a snowman:

Abominable Snowball Acara Muffler A muffler for the added effect of a snowman.

Abominable Snowball Acara Wig A pretty brown wig with a snowman hat for your Acara!

that said, building a regular snowman doesn't require instructions, as building an Abominable Snowball apparently does

also of note, Abominable Snowballs melt in heat and hot weather:

Desert Abominable Snowball Maybe this was a bad idea...

(note that this is also the only Abominable Snowball color that has a unique description)

Abominable Snowball Plushie Unlike the original, this ones an all-weather friend.

Abominable Snowball Borovan Oh no! Who dropped that poor Abominable Snowball in the mug?

however, there is something to be said for the fact that the Desert Abominable Snowball retains the intelligence of a white Abominable Snowball, and can be converted back into an Abominable Snowball of any color by repainting it -- there is some quality of its aliveness that is carried across all colors, even if it appears to have melted, and despite the apparent ease with which one can put together their own.

due to the magical properties of Paint Brushes, though, this only goes for melting or other conversion through painting; that one in the borovan is gone forever.

there is also something to be said for the fact that all Abominable Snowballs of one color share identical accessories in identical configurations. one requires a green and red hat with a pompom to make an Abominable Snowball; no other hat will suffice. likewise it is possible in theory to make a small snowman that is almost but not quite identical to an Abominable Snowball, but that does not come alive as a true Abominable Snowball would. maybe this indicates the platonic nature of an Elemental, but one that can be replicated by Neopians? or perhaps one that is intangible in its natural state and, through creation of a suitable host, brought forth to inhabit a body?

finally, there is no indication that an Abominable Snowball can be made in any of its other colors, only its default color of White. that is, it may be the case that one can build a white Abominable Snowball, but must repaint it to achieve other colors. (which raises questions about the Robot color and others, but we don't need to worry about them thank god).

note that if it may occur as an Elemental, it should be considered an Elemental, even if it could also occur as a Construct

you can also make an argument in the replies or in my ask, etc!

all of the items examined in making this post have been added to this wishlist on Jellyneo, including some that were not discussed here but had some other tidbits about the nature of Abominable Snowballs.

OPLA fan cast polls - Tashigi prelims

Propaganda under the cut.

Kiko Mizuhara: She’s previously played the role of Mikasa Ackerman in the Attack of Titan LA, and isn’t a stranger to One Piece either- she had a voice role as Naomi Drunk in Heart of Gold.

Karen Fukuhara: She’s been featured as a voice actress in a couple of Netflix Originals before, playing Kipo from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts and Glimmer from Shera. So, there’s connection to the company there. She’s a trained martial artist and sword fighter, and you can see her show off her impressive skills in the role of Katana in the otherwise not-as-impressive Suicide Squad film, which served as her debut. She most recently starred as Kimiko Miyashiro in The Boys.

Help me decide...

I'm trying to decide how I want to do the Another Level continuations, so please help me... 🙃

Here are the options:

One ongoing work/installment to serve as a continuous 'epilogue' that will just have chapters/parts posted as we go forward. It would be posted in the 'Another Level' series as the final work.

A separate series that's just the 'Another Level Epilogue' series.

Just keep posting individual installments in the main 'Another Level' series

I will be honest and say that I'm currently leaning toward Option 1, but I'm indecisive, so I'd love to know what you guys think 😊
