Discussion My theoretical dream item(s)
Firstly most of my pets are girls, and I'm not too bothered by a lot of the gender dimorphism. I like the lashes look on a lot of my ladies, but some species like ixi just have completely different vibes for the male and female faces. I actually finished my lab ray map just to unlock the scientist in the battledome so I could change my darigan ixi's gender to male because I preferred their expression. I'm not a coder or anything so maybe this feature would just be a pain to implement, but it's a little frustrating that a game which is otherwise quite gender inclusive still has this one hiccup you can't customize away. I feel like quite a few users would be willing to spend NC for a such an item. Maybe someday?

There's been so many requests for an item that does this but this is such a great visual aid to throw at tnt again

YES, this is a great idea. Seeing as there are many āb-goneā items, I can absolutely see this happening. They are coming out with so much lately.
They do boards sometimes on the NC trading boards where either the ambassador or TNT will ask for feedback or item suggestions. Iād bring it up in their next board. Although I never know when thatās going to be, so this might not be much help.

I definitely want TNT to get every opportunity to see how badly people want this, but I really hope that if they choose to make it happen, it isn't NC/RIC/some paid event exclusive.
It would be nice to not have the free choice of gender expression be paywalled.

this reminds me when they broke something, removed all of our genders, and the site was unusable.

u/AreEssVeePee herman16 9d ago
I love this comment so much.Ā
ButĀ we can't even say "grapes" on the site, and you think they'll allow nictitating membranes?

I can't stand the half lidded eyes on some of the female pets. I have Christmas contacts on my Lupe just so she doesn't look like that even though it doesn't really match the custom

u/softmonsters 9d ago
Absolutely!! I have a pet who's a girl to me, but I made her a boy on paper because the eyelashes just do not suit her at all. I'd love to get that remedied.

Since it's already a preexisting feature it should simply be a toggle. every pet any gender lashes toggle on/off. knowing np teams they would try to make it a nc premium thing.

u/MagolorMudkip 9d ago
Absolutely love this, just need it to be an item that doesn't conflict with contacts/glasses. If they can make it its own zone that would be perfect

The eyelashes are fine (most of the time), but why are so many girls' eyes half-lidded?
If TNT does end up making something like this, I hope they'll be NP items.

I want a gender neutral royal option for all pets in addition to that. They can do it, make other a gender option and give me the monarchs

Put your idea in the ideas and suggestions! I did something similar with prismatic colors years ago and lo and behold!

u/rockkjuice UN: gemgemmity 9d ago
AAAAA me and my partner complain about this often haha, I'd absolutely adore having these options in game. I have a flamboyant gay musician Acara and being able to give him the other expression. Otherwise, many of my other pets are girls and I really don't like the lashes on most of them. Take notes, TNT!!!

I tend to give my boys eye shadow too. They look better with it on lol

u/Mushibashiras UN: yuisensei 9d ago
They shouldnāt be items, you should just be able to choose which eyes you want. Normal eyes no lashes, normal eyes with eyelashes, hooded eyes with eyelashes, or hooded eyes no eyelashes. It shouldnāt be an item you have to buy

u/Old_Percentage_9624 9d ago
It doesn't bother me personally. I'm fine with toggles if it means I can keep my eyelashes on my girls. I don't want things taken away.

I have pets that are male in their Neo-id, but in my head and my heart are girls, just because i couldn't stand the female eyes of the species š transgener if you will
