    Thumbs up 1 year I guess

    OK I guess I gotta do this now
    Pretty boring story ahead but I guess it's sorta like a way for me to keep this here so I dont forget

    Lolz okay so Neopets was always a part of my childhood, I played it on and off throughout my years
    I won’t go into too much detail so I’ll start at the point that actually turned my dull and boring life into something less dull and boring. Read it if you want, it’s mostly just a recap of how I even got here in the first place

    It was March 2012
    I don’t want to say I suffered from clinical depression, but I wasn’t the happiest kid on the block
    I didn’t have any friends and there was nothing for me to look forward to ever. I guess I was sort of empty and bored, dreading school every day, no motivation for anything etc.
    After deciding that I wasn’t going to resort to…”dangerous” things to get shit off my mind, I looked to Tumblr and Neopets for solace
    Tumblr for scrolling mindlessly through pictures and funny textposts and Neopets for roleplaying
    I had an old account from previous years of roleplaying on there and it had the prettiest name ever:
    luxira
    The roleplay boards were still dead as fuck but less dead as fuck as it is now. I memorized the exact times activity would peak
    Here it is in its glory
    (you need an account to see links)

    This went on for months until I found a Pirate Draik Egg at the shore.
    They were worth 3 million NPs at the time so I was like, “Holy shit!!! I’m gonna be rich!!”
    I put it up on the TP and asked for 2.5 million because I’m the worst, impatient seller ever
    An old grandma neomailed me and offered something uhhh fuck I can’t remember but she offered 800k and a magical pirate krawk plushie which was worth like 2 mil
    She said it was for her son’s birthday and I was like yea cool cool whatever.

    You could say that selling the pirate krawk plushie really got me into the game.
    I loved bargaining with people, I loved the rush of buying and selling and feeling rich
    So much that, after I sold my shit, I went and impulse bought a PDE again, hatched it and named her Eadryn.
    I wandered on the Pound Chat and really started to read up on converted trading tiers, guides, etiquette, etc
    I remember it so clearly, if you’re a Pound Chatter you’ll understand the sentimentality when I say that it was when I saw –for the first and last time- draik and krawk swaps.
    Anyways I became a pro, downtraded, uptraded mostly, made art, BCed, and I had a nice little handful of pets: Estivea the faerie xweetok, Riyia the baby bori, Exentero the wraith gelert and a mutant gelert I forgot the name of

    Then the Purge happened
    It happened in October 2012 and it was the most exciting time of my life
    Because of my obsession with French words at the time, I caught Deux (two), because it’s such a pretty word and Bonheur (happiness) after one of my favourite manga Happy Caf�
    At this time I also bought overpriced neopets shit from missneopoints.com, it was great, thanks for the memories good ol’ Jenny I hope you’re still an employee at another Neopoint selling website. Also to a separate Jenni (jhennidear/jennetics), fuck you you’re a bitch. Hopefully you GTFO of Neo and raised your child.



    SO I bought an aisha mp (300k) and a white paintbrush (3 mill) for $10, morphed Deux for a custom and traded for a UC baby kougra
    My trading chain went like this;
    Deux -> dn/bn UC baby kougra -> vwn uc mutant lupe -> wn uncapped uc coco jub -> BN uc mallow grundo
    Pretty great right
    Frustrated with realizing I downtraded, I decided to toughen up and sell my mallow on the first forum I saw. It’s mostly Runescape oriented but there was a lil section called Other MMOs where Neopets merch flooded the board
    (It was in the middle of NeocashSella’s reign as king of the, well…Neocash Sellas)
    I signed up as “cityskyline” and put up a thread advertising my Mallow and whoa!!! I had THREE people hitting me up about him!!
    Fuckers, I’m pretty sure they were all the same person

    Anyway, I was nice and went with the first guy that hit me up just to be fair.
    He gave me his MSN and offered $50 USD.
    He asked for my paypal and told me where to transfer. I was wary but he showed me his vouches (which were all fake, all of them, LMAO) and I was like alright, let me know where to transfer
    I HAD THE WORST GUT FEELING BUT I TRANSFERRED THE PET STRAIGHT TO HIS SHELL, IT WAS LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY I KID YOU NOT
    Then he said,
    “Brb to transfer the money. You’re going offline and online btw, it’s kind of annoying, maybe log out to help?”
    So I FUCKING DID
    AND BY DOING SO, IT CLEARED ALL THE MSN CHAT HISTORY
    AND THAT WAS THE LAST I SAW OF HIM. TO THIS DAY THE LIL ACTIVITY INDICATOR REMAINDS OFFLINE

    The thing was, I wasn’t even mad
    The whole time I just marvelled over how much of an idiot I could be
    I told the two other people who were interested in the Mallow to be careful, since I got scammed
    One gave me his deepest sympathies, even warned me never to go back on there because it was so unsafe
    Then he offered to buy my username in NPs, said it was “really pretty”
    I thought, fuck it, might as well. Not going back on there in my life
    But as soon as I gave him my account info and started to impersonate me, that’s when I knew he was the same guy who scammed me
    Fuck you AustraliaA/UCSELLER_NEOPETS/The_White_Flag
    And RIP MASTER_GRUNDO117
    RIP luxira

    I made a new friend @(you need an account to see links) on the forum at the same time this was all happening. I told her about how I got scammed, sold my identity essentially (lol) and she promised to expose him.
    I learned a lot about her, I learned she was kinda exactly like me
    My age, Asian, female, into Neopets and anime, basically has a variation of my last name, etc
    I miss her to this day but I quote @(you need an account to see links), you’ve fucked up too many times lol.
    You were a good friend though, I hope you think of me, Angela.

    Anyways I made a new account on that forum and I don’t even know how it got past the PBM filters, but I did, and I bought from NeocashSella aka @(you need an account to see links). Embarrassed myself a few times, eventually got his Skype, and he got to know me a bit more
    I told him about the Mallow grundo ordeal and he suggested Clraik as it’s more Neo-friendly.
    I joined in December 30, this day a year ago, but I stayed quiet and lurked until I made an introductory thread
    And from then on, I had some of the best times of my life online. I met cool people like @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links) and a lot more.

    Idk this community is my own social media. I feel it’s doing a better job of raising me than if I frequented Facebook or Twitter or something. LOL
    I’ve learned a lot from you lot in cK’s class of 2012, keep being awesome <3
    @ the rest, you’re the next generation, make something of yourselves and leave an imprint if this place has affected you as much as it did to me

    Thanks for everything so far, glad to make it to TCK and the GFX team

    I wish I coulda drew you all like @(you need an account to see links) but that would have killed me

    @(you need an account to see links) I don’t regret meeting you at all, you mean so much so me. I feel truly comfortable when I’m with you. I don’t like taking care of people, but I love you so much that you’re one of the fewest of the few exceptions. I can’t believe you’re about to graduate ugh ;_______;
    I hope the feeling is mutual. I know you’re struggling with life and all that, but I also hope that one day we can be happy together like we were back then, both of us <3 AND WHOA YOU'RE LIKE 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM ME SO LETS TOTALLY HANG OUT ONE DAY AND SHOP TOGETHER BECAUSE WHY NOT?????
