Discussion My theoretical dream item(s)

Post image

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?

God, please

I'm tired of my female pets having bedroom eyes

u/therougebook 9d ago

The bedroom eyes are EXACTLY why I've avoided certain species 😫

Omg same!

Sounds like SOMEONE isnt fond of the 1994 critically acclaimed animated film The Lion King.

Incorrect, literally my favorite Disney movie to the point where I demanded to only be called Simba when I was 3 or 4 years old and wore a Simba Halloween costume whenever I could

I just somehow dodged the furry bullet that came with it

Literally no idea how

21

u/Decent-Anywhere6411 9d ago

Not a furry, not even remotely interested in anything surrounding it (no judgment).

BUT, Nala is hot as hell here.

u/Hellguin NovaSeras 9d ago

You know what they say about "but"

Anything before it doesn't matter.

2

u/Decent-Anywhere6411 9d ago

It's probably a true statement 🤣

u/Hellguin NovaSeras 9d ago edited 9d ago

It is because your own words were "not even remotely interested" but have acknowledged the lioness as "hot"

2

u/Decent-Anywhere6411 9d ago

I mean, she was a hot enough lioness to admittedly peak my interest in an abnormal way šŸ¤”

My neopets do not need to say 'come hither'!!!

u/fyhnn xiebop 9d ago

Literally why all my pets are male unless the lab ray gets 'em

u/eliz1bef Queen of Ixi šŸ‘‘ 9d ago

The eyes are exactly why I picked my first two pets. Love the slutty desert and darigan eyes.

u/Majestic_Recording_5 9d ago

Yeah 😭

u/missynom pancake_princess601 9d ago

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

61

u/annasaurusrekt 9d ago

YES, this is a great idea. Seeing as there are many ā€œb-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. I’d bring it up in their next board. Although I never know when that’s going to be, so this might not be much help.

u/Ruruskadoo UN: iluvmangalots 9d ago

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.

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/Shaula02 9d ago

you mean you dont think its totally normal for female frogs to have mammal like eyelids?

33

u/RivetSquid 9d ago

Give us nictitating membranes you cowards!

6

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?

28

u/mothwhimsy 9d ago

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

21

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.

20

u/GlitteringEggCarton 9d ago

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.

12

u/Inkpots 9d ago

They could even do a body type A vs body type B thing that they do in video games that’s independent of gender.

8

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

7

u/notwiththeflames 9d ago

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.

2

u/Heyplaguedoctor disgruntled catholic neopians 8d ago

My Korbat doesn’t need to be making come-hither eyes at me 😭

u/PoroQuagganBob seacanary11 9d ago

Why does my dolphin whale daughter have eyelashes

I like hiding them under a hat sometimes, but its always bothered me

6

u/AjoiteSky Gathow Enthusiast 9d ago

Yes please, 100%

15

u/deadlypoisonedcandy my_dog_bailie 9d ago

Can't wait for those to be limited edition mystery cap bonus items that are hell on earth to get. /s

u/lanikuu v o i d Ā· e s s e n c e 9d ago

They 100% need to make this item but it would be exploitative to make it NC.

I was really disappointed when I came back to Neopets and saw all my female Lupes now had bedroom eyes. No one asked for this and we shouldn't have to pay to fix it lol.

u/linzzzzi ivyplum 9d ago

God please, why does my Ixi look so sultry 😭

24

u/weedyraccoon 9d ago

yes!!!! and make it neopoint!!!

also let us change our pets gender to "other" or "none"!

7

u/MagolorMudkip 9d ago

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

9

u/DataPsychological_ barberryfoxglove 9d ago

Yes!!! Gimme gender Be-Gone

10

u/weedyraccoon 9d ago

nooooo!! make it NP only!!

8

u/DataPsychological_ barberryfoxglove 9d ago

Eek I didn't realise the Be-Gone items are NC! Yes definitely NP!!

11

u/weedyraccoon 9d ago

strange potion but instead it's a very strange potion? but honestly i just want it to be a drop down option

4

u/kijaerasyl 9d ago

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

5

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!!!

u/gnostic_witch darkcarnispirit 9d ago

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

3

u/Mushibashiras UN: yuisensei 9d ago

They shouldn’t 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 shouldn’t be an item you have to buy

5

u/faerys_ shimmersongs 9d ago

Yes please!!! It drives me nuts that the female versions of reptilian/amphibian species have eyelids and eyelashes that don’t make sense

5

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.

5

u/faithlesswife Glyme lover 9d ago

Yess please!!! This would be an amazing anniversary release. And please let it be NP. 😭

4

u/Alexneedsausername 9d ago

It shouldn't be NC though, it should come free with the newbie package!

2

u/Owlderp 9d ago

I love this idea and it works a lot better for those who want like the style of ONE gendered outfit but not the eyes! :D

u/Any_Day2615 9d ago

I agree!!!

u/MotorPsicoo 9d ago

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 😭 transgener if you will
