I clicked on this video without reading the title fully and thought I'd be listening to an internet lore type video and I was floored to realize that she would be talking about something that happened THIS YEAR.
I can't believe there was never a scene where Illusen was sick and dying from the pollution, lying on a hospital bed with Jhudora next to her; Jhudora slamming her fist down yelling "No! Don't you dare die on me!"
I just ADORRED when they cancelled the R200 donations. I knew in the bottom of my heart the rich inflators ate shit that day. I wish they would have just made a point limit though. Would have been a lot better to "recycle" junk.
as someone who was always the equivalent of a poor sickly victorian orphan on this website, coupled with the fact that my account was hacked and drained of all my belongings during the data leak, this event helped me get SO much money 😭 i was buying tombola guys from hidden tower and selling them for huge profit to these suckers, the joy i felt when they ended up being useless was immense!!
Glad you got some money back! I got locked out of my account and the reason was "They couldn't prove it was me" or something... Dang I miss this site lol
I started playing after 13 years in December, my account was drained of anything of value but my babies are still here. Too bad I missed the Faerie Festival, but the Advent Calendar was great!
apparently the reason this event was a mess was because there are only two programmers working on all of neopets, and only ONE was working on the event...
I have never seen this woman before in my life. I haven't played Neopets for over a decade. I didn't even know the site even did events still. But the moment this lunatic said "lupe-eat-lupe world", I knew she was cooler than I could ever be. And then she said that Illusen and Jhudora are jilted exes because they absolutely are, said Fyora was shady af because she absolutely is, and then I saw the Junji Ito books on her shelf, and I knew I needed to subscribe.
This event was honestly the most fun I've had on Neopets in years! It was chaotic, but you could sense that the new TNT really did try to make the festival engaging and fun. Though Illusen in the jar did give me some traumatic flashbacks to that one jar meme from a few years back...
i think The new Neopets Team made a fantastic move with the rainbow pool prize. giving people a reasonable chance at having their dream color/pet is just what the current fanbase needed and hopefully brought a bunch of old and new players in!
I was THERE!!! I joined neopets DURING the faerie festival and it was WILD!!! I'm so happy to have been there for neopian history in the making even if I had no idea what was going on
Same! All the economy stuff went over my head since I was reorienting myself, but day 1 fountain faerie quest was what made me decide to stick around lol.
200m is apparently nothing these days. Due to the ridiculous inflation. Especially if you’re an avatar or stamp collector, you need like 500m or more to get just ONE stamp avatar. I applaud TNT for helping make these stamp avatars more obtainable.
@@DrawciaGleam02 I am not sure how I even made my NPs before the quests. I came back to Neopets about 1.5 months ago and there was already 20m in the bank. I think most of it was from Food Club because I have a 20 year old account and can make quite a bit from that. I also do restocking and the battledome (with premium so I got nerkmids). It’s all gone now because I have spent it on coins for the Space Station Coins stamp album trying to get just ONE stamp avatar only to be stopped by a coin (Smiling Space Faerie Coin) worth 200m to complete the album… :( These people inflating these items, for what?! I hope TNT continues to work towards making these stamps more obtainable and combat inflation. They’re doing a great job so far.
I'm really hoping for more book price reductions too. You need over a billion NP to get into the top 30. Even getting into the top 200 would cost over 122 million and that's assuming your pet doesn't find some of the cheap books "too boring."
Don't make me come back to neopets. It consumed my life for years. I wish it didn't take so much time to do anything. You can't just casually play, or at least i can't.
HOW did I miss all of this delicious drama while rolling the wheel of excitement once a day free everyday holy shinx! We need Neopian Drama Alert with hostess Amanda.
I am so glad that we got an event centering the Most Divorced Faeries of all time, but does anybody else miss Jhudora's original neon goth drag queen aesthetic?? Her redesign is cute but I miss her gaunt angular face and her claws and her Jessica Rabbit eye-obscuring bangs 😢
Small add from my own experience as a Neopets newbie (well, veteran but I hadn't played in over 14 years...started back up because of your videos!): The event allowed me and many people to get dream Draiks specifically! The Pirate Draik morphing potions were relatively cheap (they inflated a few days into the event unfortunately), and with a near-guaranteed fountain faerie quest or five later, I finally have a Wraith Draik and all it cost me was ~300K for the MP! Truly wild and super cool. I'm so glad you covered the context, history, and details of this event, all the fuss at the time went WAY over my head.
I remember Neopets always having an inflation problem 😂 it doesn’t help that so many people were playing Neopets as well. I switched to Marapets (another Neopets like website) and it was much more enjoyable. It had way less competition for items and it made it more enjoyable as a new player. Loved the video ❤ also the video background deserves applause! Having one lone furby is just the cherry on top 🍒
I haven’t played neopets in maybe 20 years. Did I watch this entire video - yes! It’s crazy to see where the world of neopets has come since I was like 10. Thank you Amanda for making me laugh but also re-interested in neopets again after so long. Going to your channel to see what other neopet stuff is out there!
I finally dropped out of neopets a few years ago when everything fully went to shit, but this video renewed my faith and I’m about to log on for the first time in about 2-3 years ❤
Just joined Neopets roughly two months ago, and as someone who had to witness the chaos that was this event, OOH. I’ve been waiting on amanda coverage.
After watching your other neopets videos, I returned back to neopets just in time to experience the faerie festival chaos first hand. I thought the lag and star/cog pets were crazy but then the team released the daily quests yesterday and the lag was so unbearable.... Lag aside, I'm definitely enjoying my renewed neopets experience, and I'd like to thank you for getting me back into Neopets! I hope you continue to make Neopets videos because I love how you talk about anything and everything neopets related 🥰
@@helloxo666they motivate me to play more, so that's pretty fun. I like the rewards too, even though I'm never going to sell any of them and keep hoarding them in my storage forever 🤭
came to comment this exact thing! amanda got me back into neopets and it feels so full circle to click into this video after experiencing this chaos myself
I got TWO Fountain Faerie quests during the event. I was so damned excited. Completely missed out on the recycling part though because I had come back after, like, 15 years, and had no clue about it.
I have been waiting for this! This event was so unhinged and confusing! And I've only returned about a month or so before this! I can only imagine what it was like for new people! But the plot!
omg same, i was just getting back into it all and forgot all things that i did more than 10 years ago (daily stuff, how to train, what to buy, etc.) and then they come up with this confusing event. but at least i was able to get my very first ffq lol
The website were crawling because there were more people than they're used to. If you think of it like cars, you can picture high traffic like a freeway with bumper to bumper traffic, vs how fast you can drive on the freeway at night. Each user makes a request (that's like inching forward in your car a bit) and there are only so many lanes to handle the changing requests, so you have to wait for a spot to open up that let's you go. Like if you had an intellegent car that only moved forward after the person in front of you moved and made space.
Neopets can pay more money to have more lanes, but that would be like adding more lanes to a freeway that is usually empty. They won't do it until they realize that on average there are more neopet players than there used to be and it's profitable to pay for more servers.
Also the reason why there were two slingshot purchases is because, due to how many people were using the website, each purchase for 1 bundle of slingshots would go through twice. It really seems like this event brought a lot of people into neopets. I wish I knew about it sooner because I used to play but I was always one of those soup kitchen players.
i feel like i'm returning to neopets right after all the wild fun stuff happened and now i'm just... here... hopefully the new plot actually happens because the neopets disease has its cold claws in me once again lmao
Having this recommended and going in with no context is incredible. Was hilarious and entertaining the whole way through, definitely subbing for more of this energy
Also, I'm sure there are obvious inflators but I think part of the problem is as soon as people realize something everyone starts buying it so as the demand increases, obviously the price increases. It is just they way the shop wizard works when people buy up the cheaper items. I don't think people really set out to inflate prices but obviously people are going to get the highest price they can...I mean...we all want neopoints right?
while i didnt get enough points for the stamp, i did manage to get some paintbrushes & FFQs for all my dreamies at the time. like i never thought i could paint cuddlycalf pastel but here she issss!! im relatively new given as a kid i was too overwhelmed to actually play so i never though i could get these items or get to paint pets at all. best event ever
The person who got the Thyora’s Tear destroyed me as someone whose best item was a 10k piece of techo clothing 😢 but I mean kudos to them 😅 Can’t wait to see what the Advent Calendar is this year tbh
First video I’ve ever seen from you. Never played Neo Pets, never cared about it before. Damn was that a super entertaining video! I enjoyed that so much! Definitely looking forward to checking out your other content and subscribing!
Thank you for the magical intro. I was addicted to Neopets over a decade ago, obsessed with trading and min-maxing, until my account was hacked and I quit for good. It's hard for me to watch Neo content now, but those first couple minutes of trading horror and admin messing with players is bizarrely cathartic. Sorry to anyone who got the short end of that stick.
I know absolutely nothing about neopets except for whatever I remember from the Darkest Faerie ps2 game I played when I was like 11, but whenever amanda is serving up the most delicious petty drama tea??? girlies, i am sipping.. you KNOW I gotta sit and watch the whole thing lol. (Tbh I think I would make a neopets account to try getting into it but I can't even keep my flight rising dragons fed for more than a week before being to busy IRL and losing interest again for another 3 months 🙃)
Joined neopets after I watched your guide video a few times and I am OBSESSED and just got lucky enough to get my first dreamie baby Blumaroo so ty for the obsession 💜
I started playing Neopets again after like 20 years because of your videos and I'm so glad I got to experience this event myself. Truly blursed (but mostly blessed) way to experience my first big site event. This video was such a perfect summation of it, too. PS I also only got garbage from the recycle capsules :')
i dont even go here (play neopets) but i heard about this drama and i was so so hoping that the Best And Brightest in Neopets Tea would be reporting on it and MY HOPE PAID OFF YAAAASS!!!
WHAAAT thats amazing!! mine is a jelly negg! 😭🙌 i recorded myself screaming discovering all that haha didnt even give us time to adjust to normalcy again before thrusting us back into the hurricane. i guess this is our new normal! ✊
Thankyou for this. I played a lot of Neopets, (not very much since the death of Flash) but I never really interacted with the community or took it seriously enough to notice this stuff, so interesting to hear about it.
You are so so real for the Kass simping, I got that guy as an action figure back when his plot was goin on (I think my sister Kittylin got him for me for christmas?) and I still have him bc he's very yes Also the meepit juice break outro music be givin me flashbacks, my sister was still living in the family house when she was workin on that avatar, and we listened to that tune all day long 💀
@@theamandafiles YEAH!! Idk if you remember my childhood account, but its Polkadotcheese (I clearly don't go by that anymore, as I was 6.... and my sister made it for me anyway) but even though Kass be livin in a box rn due to space limitations, eventually he will escape it. Can't say the same about the box full of kids meal neopet plushies tho...
i can say i will not be contributing to inflation of Illusen's Staff because I started literally DAYS before the event- maybe a week tops. so i got like 59 total points and had nothing to really donate each day and didnt get a capsule 🥲 also i was on mobile and didnt get the prompt to pick and i tapped the screen to try to get it to load or something and it picked illusen's festival for me when i wanted jhudora and i regret it every day 😭 illusen was my fave to stare at as a little baby child but now im an adult goth and want bat wing stuff more than anything 😭
The technical issue was probably from too many people visiting at the same time. Every time you click on a new page, your computer will send a request to the server for that page. The server will then need to find the relevant information for that page and will send all that info back to your computer. The sever can only handle so many requests at once and sometimes if more people are visiting the website at the same time it gets more requests then it can handle. That will cause it to take forever on your request or it can even end up never responding. Its pretty similar to making an oder at a busy restaurant. The kitchen might get overwhelmed with orders end up taking forever.
I got too many Fountain Fairy Quests. I could never have imagined this world but here we are That intro was amazing. This was truly the most unhinged event I can remember Illusen and Jhudora absolutely broke up. I got so much of that vibe, we only missed Jhudora stressing out over Illusen in a hospital bed before pretending she wasn't Kass Citadel sounds great Amazing content
I've found another place were I belong!!! Thanks for this content 😂💕 I've seen a few channels that touch on Neopets and I couldn't resonate completely, but you are the exception 🎉 oh boy some of the events on Neopets are so unhinged and mostly because of us, the users 😂😂😂
I'm obsessed with your storytelling style! I haven't kept up much with neopets (played religiously in like 2002 lol) but if you cover more I will watch more!
i subscribed for your acnh vids a while ago and im so happy i started seeing your neo vids right when i rejoined neo... this was so beautiful faerie festival was pure stress
amanda im gonna be honest i do not care about neopets at all but i’m going to watch this entire video because i can literally listen to you talk about anything babygirl
As a new Neopets player, I actually really enjoyed the festival! I did pretty well with the prizes and got some stuff that was pretty good :) I know most people were upset online but… my bank account is poppin now haha! Oh and I got to paint 4 pets which was crazy coming on as a new player
I'm quite sad I was travelling when the event was going on even that I was on hiatus too, but came back when people keep posting about the rich crying on the forums lol And now spend all video working in my gallery entry, really want to get a toy paint brush for my gnorbu
I want my old account back I started playing 23 years ago that makes me physically sick to say that number lmao. I just sent this video to my sister we were OBSESSED.Edit i was 13 when I started, i'm 36 now so only 23 years not 24 phew. lol.
Not sure how this ended up in my recs but, as a kid too poor to have home internet or even a computer in the mid 2000s, I never got to do much with my neopet account I could read the official magazine when going to Walmart, I'd just sit in the book section the whole time while my guardians shopped I've long since forgotten the login to the account I had but man Every time I see anything of Neopets I am reminded of just how much I wanted a Drake but that the eggs were super hard to find And that those fairy and halloween paintbrushes were just so insanely cool Maybe one day I will make another account and play I still absolutely adore the aesthetic of Neopets
I have to confess that some years ago I was a full grown 16-18 year old and would hostile buyout all the items that would pop up in random faerie quests. Any kid selling that stuff under my price I would buy then raise the floor on the prices to where I was selling dirt pies and stuff for 500-1000np for a solid 7 months while my insane fixation lasted. I had tabs open to haggle shopkeepers down, would flip 100-300k neopoints a day after I did my dailies and had an auto-refresher going on some shops. I'm glad to see I wasn't the only psychopath hustling kids and grown women for imaginary points just to paint my Graarl with a starry paintbrush.
I came across this at random, and only when she started talking about how she feels about individual fairy characters did I realize this was the voice of that amazing sneasler rant haha
As someone who knows little to nothing about Neopets, but a lot about the capricious and chaotic nature of folkloric and mythologic faeries: all of this Fairie Festival bullshit feels lore accurate!
"Inflator" here, wanted to apologize and maybe give my perspective on what I [have] to do. I found this game as a kid, and quickly enjoyed the economics of it. As I went through HS/college I really wanted a side hustle and found it in NP. I run an office with myself and 2 employees, but a significant amount of my early capital came from NP resale, up until today I provided a really good amount of money for my lifestyle. I apologize for hurting the game, but the diminishing returns are slowly weening it out of my expense sheet. Eventually it'll dwindle to the point of not doing it, but right now its mostly automated and I can't turn down free money.
You didn't have to do it, you're not sorry, you broke the rules, you could be sued by Neopets for profiting on their game when it is expressly not allowed, and you have actively destroyed the fun of thousands of people, including small children.
I’m just getting back into neopets after getting access back to my 20 year old account and that intro sent me to another dimension hahaha can’t wait for your next neo video~!
i forced my partner (who knows nothing about neopets) to watch this intro because i talked SO MUCH about it at the time. he looked at me like i was unhinged hahahaha
watching the intro with bare minimum knowledge of neopets is probably the right way to go into a video
What's happening??? Why is there Christmas music???
there are stocks???? what is going on😭
right I stopped playing when i was like 10 I'm like I don't remember this-
I clicked on this video without reading the title fully and thought I'd be listening to an internet lore type video and I was floored to realize that she would be talking about something that happened THIS YEAR.
My knowledge consists of the idea that they might be pets that are possibly neo. This was a wild wild ride and I am absolutely grateful for it.
i am. obsessed with tnt's approach to un-fucking the economy. it's so chaotic, it's amazing.
I can't believe there was never a scene where Illusen was sick and dying from the pollution, lying on a hospital bed with Jhudora next to her; Jhudora slamming her fist down yelling "No! Don't you dare die on me!"
i HAVE to believe that its coming in the 2024 plot or i’ll die
@@theamandafiles Neopets give this to me.
I am 150% here for the jhudora & illusen love plot where they team up and save Neopia and KISS
thought you were describing loss lmao

I was thinking the same thing! 😂
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS LOL
"Lord Kass would've made the Darigan Citadel sexy" is the most based Neopets take I've ever heard
you get it
I can't believe I understood that entire sentence
apparently the reason this event was a mess was because there are only two programmers working on all of neopets, and only ONE was working on the event...
wow omg 😭 well in that case i would give my life for that person and i mean that
Neopets 🤝 the sims

I know absolutely nothing about neopets except for whatever I remember from the Darkest Faerie ps2 game I played when I was like 11, but whenever amanda is serving up the most delicious petty drama tea??? girlies, i am sipping.. you KNOW I gotta sit and watch the whole thing lol.
(Tbh I think I would make a neopets account to try getting into it but I can't even keep my flight rising dragons fed for more than a week before being to busy IRL and losing interest again for another 3 months 🙃)
Someone needs to make a sims playthrough of the faeries, using the lesbian love narrative that you laid out. I would watch the shit out of that 😂❤️
Joined neopets after I watched your guide video a few times and I am OBSESSED and just got lucky enough to get my first dreamie baby Blumaroo so ty for the obsession 💜
I have a baby blumaroo too! Cheers!
I started playing Neopets again after like 20 years because of your videos and I'm so glad I got to experience this event myself. Truly blursed (but mostly blessed) way to experience my first big site event. This video was such a perfect summation of it, too.
PS I also only got garbage from the recycle capsules :')
i dont even go here (play neopets) but i heard about this drama and i was so so hoping that the Best And Brightest in Neopets Tea would be reporting on it and MY HOPE PAID OFF YAAAASS!!!
also the trick o treat event this year and the quests are only continuing the chaos, rn my weekly quest price is a freaking KRAWK??? oh i’m in love
WHAAAT thats amazing!! mine is a jelly negg! 😭🙌 i recorded myself screaming discovering all that haha didnt even give us time to adjust to normalcy again before thrusting us back into the hurricane. i guess this is our new normal! ✊
now this is what i call real journalism
Thankyou for this. I played a lot of Neopets, (not very much since the death of Flash) but I never really interacted with the community or took it seriously enough to notice this stuff, so interesting to hear about it.
You are so so real for the Kass simping, I got that guy as an action figure back when his plot was goin on (I think my sister Kittylin got him for me for christmas?) and I still have him bc he's very yes
Also the meepit juice break outro music be givin me flashbacks, my sister was still living in the family house when she was workin on that avatar, and we listened to that tune all day long 💀
THE kittylin??? meepits outgrab Kittylin??? also i would die for that lord kass action figure omgggg
@@theamandafiles YEAH!! Idk if you remember my childhood account, but its Polkadotcheese (I clearly don't go by that anymore, as I was 6.... and my sister made it for me anyway) but even though Kass be livin in a box rn due to space limitations, eventually he will escape it. Can't say the same about the box full of kids meal neopet plushies tho...
The bugs were enrichment
i can say i will not be contributing to inflation of Illusen's Staff because I started literally DAYS before the event- maybe a week tops. so i got like 59 total points and had nothing to really donate each day and didnt get a capsule 🥲
also i was on mobile and didnt get the prompt to pick and i tapped the screen to try to get it to load or something and it picked illusen's festival for me when i wanted jhudora and i regret it every day 😭 illusen was my fave to stare at as a little baby child but now im an adult goth and want bat wing stuff more than anything 😭
The technical issue was probably from too many people visiting at the same time.
Every time you click on a new page, your computer will send a request to the server for that page. The server will then need to find the relevant information for that page and will send all that info back to your computer.
The sever can only handle so many requests at once and sometimes if more people are visiting the website at the same time it gets more requests then it can handle. That will cause it to take forever on your request or it can even end up never responding.
Its pretty similar to making an oder at a busy restaurant. The kitchen might get overwhelmed with orders end up taking forever.
I got too many Fountain Fairy Quests. I could never have imagined this world but here we are
That intro was amazing. This was truly the most unhinged event I can remember
Illusen and Jhudora absolutely broke up. I got so much of that vibe, we only missed Jhudora stressing out over Illusen in a hospital bed before pretending she wasn't
Kass Citadel sounds great
Amazing content
Maybe the real prize was the comradery we witnessed along the way 😌💕
OK, bad content? No.
Toxic content, yes queen, slay
Watching the intro 3 months after the faerie festival has passed... what a beautiful reminder
i watched this entire video despite my only prior exposure to neopets was having a couple hand-me-down plushies from my sister growing up lol
2:26 I’m glad you addressed what was, for me, my initial reaction, which was that I didn’t realize that Neopets still existed.
I've found another place were I belong!!! Thanks for this content 😂💕 I've seen a few channels that touch on Neopets and I couldn't resonate completely, but you are the exception 🎉 oh boy some of the events on Neopets are so unhinged and mostly because of us, the users 😂😂😂
I'm obsessed with your storytelling style! I haven't kept up much with neopets (played religiously in like 2002 lol) but if you cover more I will watch more!
I got a Faerie Draik and a Halloween Nimmo from this event and I couldn’t be happier- I can’t believe neopets is allowed to be fun in 2023
"my name is amanda I make really bad content"
wow living for this energy
i subscribed for your acnh vids a while ago and im so happy i started seeing your neo vids right when i rejoined neo... this was so beautiful faerie festival was pure stress
middle class neopian is now entering my permanent virtual petsite lexicon omfg
I love all your neopets videos ❤ it has increased my excitement of coming back. Im sad i missed this event but hope next ones to come are as amazing
The more i hear and learn about Neopets, the more happy i am that i never left and always stayed with Flight Rising
This video makes me really want a community game like this. My social anxiousness makes multiplayer games hard though.
Commenting so algorithm recognizes that Amanda is the best RUclipsr ever
I LOVE U BEST COMMENTER EVER ❤❤❤
i am SO excited for the lore video!!! this was absolutely fantastic too 💖
Everything described in this video is simultaneously the most Neopets thing to have ever.
The faerie festival and now the daily quests have absolutely brought glorious chaos upon neopians
so glad you are a Lord Kass fan.... i had a total crush on him LOL
amanda im gonna be honest i do not care about neopets at all but i’m going to watch this entire video because i can literally listen to you talk about anything babygirl
As a new Neopets player, I actually really enjoyed the festival! I did pretty well with the prizes and got some stuff that was pretty good :) I know most people were upset online but… my bank account is poppin now haha!
Oh and I got to paint 4 pets which was crazy coming on as a new player
I'm quite sad I was travelling when the event was going on even that I was on hiatus too, but came back when people keep posting about the rich crying on the forums lol
And now spend all video working in my gallery entry, really want to get a toy paint brush for my gnorbu
I want my old account back I started playing 23 years ago that makes me physically sick to say that number lmao. I just sent this video to my sister we were OBSESSED.Edit i was 13 when I started, i'm 36 now so only 23 years not 24 phew. lol.
Not sure how this ended up in my recs but, as a kid too poor to have home internet or even a computer in the mid 2000s, I never got to do much with my neopet account
I could read the official magazine when going to Walmart, I'd just sit in the book section the whole time while my guardians shopped
I've long since forgotten the login to the account I had but man
Every time I see anything of Neopets I am reminded of just how much I wanted a Drake but that the eggs were super hard to find
And that those fairy and halloween paintbrushes were just so insanely cool
Maybe one day I will make another account and play
I still absolutely adore the aesthetic of Neopets
Its the furby staring into the abyss of my soul that does it for me
I have to confess that some years ago I was a full grown 16-18 year old and would hostile buyout all the items that would pop up in random faerie quests. Any kid selling that stuff under my price I would buy then raise the floor on the prices to where I was selling dirt pies and stuff for 500-1000np for a solid 7 months while my insane fixation lasted. I had tabs open to haggle shopkeepers down, would flip 100-300k neopoints a day after I did my dailies and had an auto-refresher going on some shops.
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only psychopath hustling kids and grown women for imaginary points just to paint my Graarl with a starry paintbrush.
Girl I swear Fyora Is Shady AF
Vote Judhora and Illusen for new Faerie Queen Gfs 💜💚
YOU GET IT 👏👏👏
I can't believe the one year i stopped playing the most chaotic stuff goes down!!!
I love Amanda’s story times and I’m so here for this knowing almost nothing about neopets 😂
Not me continuously pausing during the intro trying to read and figure out what was going on
idk if anyone has told you this before but i love ur voice, you sound so sweet and like idk its just a good tone 12/10 voice, keep up the good work
Do I play neopets? No. Did I watch this entire video intently? Yes 😂
Obvi bc it’s Amanda
Before you said anything about the gay faeries I said “so princess bubblegum and Marceline” and then, well. LOL
I came across this at random, and only when she started talking about how she feels about individual fairy characters did I realize this was the voice of that amazing sneasler rant haha
Neopets: A Realm Reborn.
We're getting that soon, just you wait. Here's to hoping.
Or Neopets: Shadowbringers. (For a plot in the future...)
The way you keep saying things got gay/ things are gay is so gay I love it 😂❤
As someone who knows little to nothing about Neopets, but a lot about the capricious and chaotic nature of folkloric and mythologic faeries: all of this Fairie Festival bullshit feels lore accurate!
"Inflator" here, wanted to apologize and maybe give my perspective on what I [have] to do. I found this game as a kid, and quickly enjoyed the economics of it. As I went through HS/college I really wanted a side hustle and found it in NP. I run an office with myself and 2 employees, but a significant amount of my early capital came from NP resale, up until today I provided a really good amount of money for my lifestyle. I apologize for hurting the game, but the diminishing returns are slowly weening it out of my expense sheet. Eventually it'll dwindle to the point of not doing it, but right now its mostly automated and I can't turn down free money.
You didn't have to do it, you're not sorry, you broke the rules, you could be sued by Neopets for profiting on their game when it is expressly not allowed, and you have actively destroyed the fun of thousands of people, including small children.
I’m just getting back into neopets after getting access back to my 20 year old account and that intro sent me to another dimension hahaha can’t wait for your next neo video~!
i forced my partner (who knows nothing about neopets) to watch this intro because i talked SO MUCH about it at the time. he looked at me like i was unhinged hahahaha
Knowing that Elon Musk got banned from Neopets is spectacular. Makes me want to play again after like 20 years
why does it feel like by completely missing this event i'm gonna be broke forever lmaoooo
i don't know what neopets is but you are funny and great at story telling. like standup comedian level great.
