Neopets' map is so nostalgic, I wanted to make it a little more vintage, just for fun hehe When I was 11, I asked my parents for a tablet so I could draw Neopets digitally and now I work with drawings and games 🥺 Thank you, neopets!

I drew this in January 2024, I'm happy now I can make some better drawings of it! I have to draw more neopets sometime :>

let's learn about government in neopia

Altador: Monarchy, ruled by King Altador Brightvale: Monarchy, ruled by King Hagan Meridell: Monarchy, ruled by King Skarl I Faerieland: Monarchy, ruled by Queen Fyora Maraqua: Monarchy, ruled by King Kelpbeard Roo Island: Monarchy, ruled by King Roo Shenkuu: Monarchy, ruled by an unnamed Emperor Krawk Island: Ruled by Governor Gavril McGill, so probably a democracy Tyrannia: Republic, ruled by a council of elders Kreludor: Jointly ruled by Zorlix and Xarthab, two tribal elders Lost Desert: Collection of monarchies united by the Lost Desert Alliance Mystery Island: Previous monarchy died out, now a cluster of individually governed tribes Darigan Citadel: ruled by Lord Darigan, which only really implies he owns the land. Fascistic dictatorship, who takes over after Darigan unclear Neopia Central: Police state, ruled by the Defenders of Neopia Kiko Lake: nominally ruled by Mayor Fuff, however the real power lies in an overbearing HOA Lutari Island: Theocracy Terror Mountain: Dictatorship of the proletariat Virtupets: Anarchist collective following the fall of Dr. Sloth Haunted Woods: this is actually just a very large self-governing polycule

Neopets species having allergies is hilariously inconsistent.

My skeith is allergic to cheese, yet there is a canon item called the Skeith Quesadilla. The Skeith Burger clearly shows a slice of cheese. I can feed him things that are cheesy, but not if the word is cheese. Cheeseless Lasagna makes him sick. But an Ultra Cheesy Hot Dog is fine!

Kyrii are allergic to apples. By extension, they are also allergic to pineapples, and that’s never acknowledged! Like skeiths, Apple-Free Apple Cobbler clearly must contain some quantity of apples because it makes kyrii sick!

Quiggles are allergic to cream, and there are 2 species-specific items they can’t eat: Pink Quiggle Ice Cream Float and Christmas Quiggle Avocado Ice Cream. Happy Quiggle Day! Get fucked, frogs!

Tonus are allergic to chocolate-filled plastic easter neggs because if it’s negg shaped your tonu is screwed. They must contract neezles just watching the negg festival!

I hate this feature; may it never change!

Lord Darigan x King Roo Part 2

A gathering of the leaders of Neopia wouldn’t be complete without the moments of letting those who were deemed “lesser” know their place. That’s how Lord Darigan found himself once again appealing to the kindness of King Roo. 

“I appreciate you allowing me to stay in this wing with you,” Darigan said, a genuine gratitude in his voice. After his altercation with King Skarl earlier in the meeting chambers, Darigan had found that his lodgings for the trip had been set up in the alabriss pen. He hadn’t been surprised by this necessarily, this was the kind of treatment he’d endured for the two decades since the war. 

King Roo only nodded, which seemed unusual to Darigan, even though he’d only known him for a short time. 

“Is something wrong?” An uncharacteristic concern was knocking at the back of Darigan’s brain. Perhaps, after seeing the interaction with King Skarl earlier had changed Roo’s mind about this budding friendship. How could Darigan be so stupid, letting in someone like that, a well-liked and respected member of society? It was foolish. It was…

Darigan’s thoughts were interrupted by the tail end of King Roo’s response, so quiet that he almost missed it entirely. 

“…unkind.” 

Darigan blanched. Of course, Roo thought him unkind. He shouldn’t have antagonized Skarl. The alabriss pen he could have dealt with, but this…this was painful. 

“I mean, the way he treats you is heinous! You were making a valid contribution at least. Not like me and my idiotic suggestion of a game.” 

“Wait. What?” Darigan’s mouth hung open, barely believing the words he was hearing. Was King Roo upset…on his behalf? 

“Oh, come now, anyone with eyes could see how you were treated in those chambers today. I’ll admit, when you told me about it I thought, or perhaps hoped, you were exaggerating. I mean, I can only imagine the things Count Von Roo would say about me. Plenty would be justified, as you well know, but that…the anger and vitriol directed at you,” King Roo looked at him, eyes shining on the brink of tears, “How do you stand it?” A fat teardrop rolled down the blumaroo’s face. 

Lord Darigan stood, shell-shocked and silent. No one, in all his life, had ever cried for him. Cried because of him, certainly. And he himself had cried in frustration, anger, rage, and grief. But there was something about the tears from Roo that were different. Darigan wanted to reassure him, comfort him in some way.

“I keep to myself. In my chambers at the Citadel. I bother none, and I do not leave. It was only the summons from King Altador and Queen Fyora that permitted me to travel here.”

More tears welled up in the King’s eyes. “That sounds so, so…lonely,” he cried, covering his face. 

Darigan considered this, thinking carefully on a response. He would do anything to stop those tears. “I do not find it lonely. I often have meetings with Galgarroth, one of my Generals. Though we no longer have an official army, it felt wrong to strip him of a hard-earned title. And every so often a random Neopian finds their way into my chambers,” Darigan paused for a moment, “Perhaps…I should create a game for them to play there?” At this, he attempted a smile. It felt strange on his face. 

King Roo choked out a laugh, “Now you are mocking me!” He wiped his eyes and looked back at Darigan. 

“Not at all. I think I heard just earlier that they’re great for cheering people up.” 

Roo blushed a deep blue. “I just hate the idea of a war. Weapons, fighting, armies and battles. If this greyification is causing sadness, how will that help?”

“Don’t fret. I thought it was a novel idea, and better than others that were voiced. King Kelpbeard has been itching for another war for ages…winners usually do,” he added, ruefully. 

“And what about you, Lord Darigan? Do you wish for a war?”

Darigan shook his head vehemently, “No, never again. The last war…so much was lost.”

“Your general, you mean? Not the one you meet with now, but another, I’ve heard stories.”

“Kass. My general, and my friend. The voices of the Three corrupted him. Specters of the worst parts of Neopia. Greed, Revenge, and Ambition. They appeared to me as well, but found me to be…lacking. In him, they found their champion. When he failed them…” Darigan paused, reliving what he had relived a million times before, “He is gone now.”

King Roo reached out, taking Darigan’s hand and squeezing it. “I am sorry for the loss of your friend. That must have been very painful.”

Darigan simply nodded. 

“Do you think the Three are involved in what’s currently happening?”

Darigan took a deep breath, meeting the eyes of King Roo. “If they are, I fear all hope may already be lost.” 

Roo opened his mouth to respond, at the same moment a Roo Island courtier bounded in, looking frantic. 

“Your Majesty!” The green blumaroo looked between Darigan and Roo for a moment before beginning, “I have grave news.” 

King Roo tilted his head, concern darkening his eyes, “What is it, Antoine?” 

“The voids Dr. Landelbrot asked to be collected. They…they’re being found in just three places. Brightvale, Meridell, and…and Roo Island.”

Darigan felt the legs of the King go out from under him as he collapsed. Without a moment’s hesitation, Darigan held him up, one arm around his waist and the other pressed between the two of them, where his hand was still clasped tightly in the King’s.

I got this necklace a while back that looks kinda like Thyora's tear. I need to get silver metallic paint to fix it up, but I like to wear it whenever I'm hyperfixating on Neopets.
