[starbiology]

when the rulers all showed up in the plot figured itd be fun to sketch portraits!

and then had to add my thoughts on them

[ship-that-neoship]

Ship: Queen Nabile x King Jazan

Propaganda: "Okay, this one is ACTUALLY canon and has been since the 14th chapter of The Lost Desert plot. They're married. They are the characters picked to represent The Lovers in the official Neopets tarot card set. Their 19th anniversary is coming up on November 9th so y'all better have gifts prepared."

Nabile and the husband she pulled by being autistic

[incorrectneopetsquotes]

King Altador: So don't panic, but one of us is possessed by a Whoot. King Jazan: .... Lord Darigan: ..... King Skarl: ...... King Roo: ...Who? King Altador: That's the thing, we don't- *everyone stares at King Roo* 

[wing-dingy]

neopets brain rot got me shipping nabille and jazan hard,,

[adobe-outdesign]

putting together a list of each leader for each Neopian land, here's what I've come up with:

Altador: King Altador (plus his council)

Brightvale and Meridell: Ruled by the brothers King Hagan and king King Skarl (unsure how that works but just go with it)

Maraqua: King Kelpbeard

Darigan: Lord Darigan (he and Altador have their kingdoms named after them)

Roo Island: King Roo (has a crippling gambling addiction)

Faerieland: Queen Fyora (obscenely OP)

(Side note: like none of the above have queens/kings so it's unknown who would succeed them)

The Haunted Woods: anarchist hellhole. Neovia has a mayor but he may or may not be a bug (don't worry about it)

Neopia Central: anarchist hellhole

Jelly World: anarchist hellhole

Lost Desert: two rulers for each city (Princess Amira in Sakhmet and King Jazan in Qasala. No I don't know why Amira is still considered a princess)

Krawk Island: Governor is Gavril McGill, no leader beyond that

Kiko Lake: Has a mayor

Moltara: Also has a mayor, which is confusing as they're not near or part of a larger land

Mystery Island: Has a council of elders and at least one coconut god (don't ask)

Terror Mountain: most likely the Keeper of Time, which for the record is an incredibly cool name

Shenkuu: Has an emperor and actually has two children to succeed him for a change (Princess Lunara and Princess Terrana)

Tyrannia: Ruled by a council of elders (for some reason it's like one of the only non-town republics)

Kreludor: Seemingly ruled by both brothers Zorlix and Xarthab, making them like Hagan and Skarl if they were like 20% more competent

Virtupets: Was ruled by Dr. Sloth, a mad scientist dictator (don't worry about it)

Aramco: Leading the Way to Sustainability

  Paving the Path to Carbon Neutrality

Saudi Arabia's 2060 Net-Zero Ambition Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – In a bold move towards addressing climate change and curbing greenhouse gas emissions, Aramco, one of the world's foremost integrated energy and chemicals companies, announced a suite of groundbreaking projects aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. These initiatives, unveiled on the sidelines of MENA Climate Week 2023, represent a significant step towards Aramco's ambition of achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions across its wholly-owned and operated assets by 2050, while also aligning with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's 2060 net-zero goal.

Innovative Approaches for a Sustainable Future

Ahmad Al Khowaiter, Aramco's Executive Vice President of Technology and innovation, expressed the company's commitment to innovative solutions to combat climate change. "These projects highlight just some of the innovative ways that Aramco aims to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change," he said. "This includes new and groundbreaking approaches that align with our vision of a circular carbon economy."   Lower-Carbon Hydrogen Following the success of a pilot project in Denmark, Aramco is set to collaborate with Topsoe, an industry leader in energy-efficient technologies, to construct a lower-carbon hydrogen demonstration plant at the Shaybah Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) recovery plant in Saudi Arabia. Expected to produce six tons of hydrogen per day, the plant will employ renewable electricity for electrified steam reforming of hydrocarbons, yielding lower-carbon hydrogen for power generation, with captured CO2 subsequently sequestered.

Flickr.   Direct Air Capture Aramco is also partnering with Siemens Energy to develop a Direct Air Capture (DAC) test unit in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. With the capacity to capture up to 12 tons of CO2 per year, the test unit is a precursor to a larger pilot plant expected to capture a staggering 1,250 tons of CO2 annually, scheduled for completion in 2024.   Novel CO2 Sequestration In yet another innovative stride, Aramco has successfully piloted a CO2 sequestration method using in situ mineralization. The process involves dissolving CO2 in water and injecting it into volcanic rocks in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, resulting in the permanent conversion of CO2 into carbonate rocks. This pilot project was a collaborative effort between Aramco and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, introducing various technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.   Geothermal Energy Aramco is also exploring the expansion of its renewable energy portfolio through geothermal energy, leveraging naturally heated underground aquifers to produce electricity. Identified areas on Saudi Arabia's west coast have already been mapped using advanced subsurface technologies, and investigations are underway to assess the extent of geothermal resources at each location.

Aramco's Transformation into a Sustainable Energy Leader

Aramco, officially known as the Saudi Arabian Oil Company, has a rich history and ambitious future objectives. Established in 1933, it has played a central role in shaping the global oil industry and boasts vast reserves of crude oil and gas fields, making it the world's largest integrated oil company. Yet, Aramco's vision extends beyond traditional hydrocarbons, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2060 net-zero goal.   Pioneering Clean Technologies Aramco is actively investing in research and development projects focused on clean technologies, such as hydrogen fuel cells and carbon capture, as part of its transition towards a sustainable energy future. The company aims to be at the forefront of innovation, driving progress across various sectors globally. While its status as a dominant oil producer will remain pivotal for the foreseeable future, Aramco's vision surpasses conventional boundaries. The company aspires to be not just an energy provider but a catalyst for innovation, pushing the envelope and championing sustainable practices. In doing so, Aramco exemplifies how even traditional energy giants can pivot towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.   Sources: THX News & Aramco. Read the full article

today i felt like doing some rough concept art of what neopets npcs might look like if they followed the my little pony formula instead of the anthro/furry one

[magaxdestroyer]

There’s not enough Magax and Hubrid Nox content, so here’s some Neopets headcanons

As I posted earlier on my main today, while Magax used to be evil and became good, Hubrid Nox used to be good and became evil. I’m working on the details, but basically his study buddy crush (they were attending some magic school) was turned to stone because of some prophecy about an evil dark magician rising and she happened to be studying dark magic, but it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy because he became the evil dark magician in response to what happened to her, and then slowly became consumed by a lust for power. It’s a whole fic I’ll probably never actually write outside me head, but she gets un-stoned some time before the events of Faerie’s Ruin (or after, I haven’t decided) and it gets awkward, because it’s been almost a thousand years. Also, he kept her stone figure in his castle.

I’ve mentioned Magax still has a villain laugh, and it’s freaking hilarious because it scares the crap out of everyone in the Brute Squad every time someone tells a joke that he actually likes.

Neopets live absurdly long. Just look at Lord Darigan and King Skarl. Their truce has canonically been going for one thousand years, and they’re both still alive. Darigan didn’t even age, probably because of his curse and stuff. Magax and Hubrid Nox use some sort of magic to stay relatively young, but Neopets in general age really slowly. BTW Hubrid Nox canonically helped Lord Darigan in Champions of Meridell, so he’s probably EVEN OLDER.

Xandra basically got lucky in killing Hubrid Nox. If it had been, say, a Battledome challenge or something, Hubrid would have overpowered her. Xandra had to rely on opportunity, and having the artifact to boost her powers.

Hubrid Nox, unlike Xandra, knew that the Feaeries were the source of Neopia’s magic, and thus wouldn’t have even considered turning them all to stone.

Everyone involved in the Faeries Ruin plot were at some point asked why they didn’t consult Magax. Brynn kinda stammered before admitting she should have thought of it, King Altador was unaware that Magax had turned to the side of good due to all that time Altador spent trapped in a time bubble, but upon finding out said “Good for him” and stated he would have sought him if he had known, Jazan generally doesn’t answer, and Hanso said, “Who’s Magax?”

Had they consulted Magax, they would have found out Hubrid Nox had an alibi the whole time. He was busy trying to figure out how to take over more of the Haunted Woods, specifically Neovia and the Werelupe Woods sections.
