June Scarlet Oh I know! I was referring to her mom being mentioned in passing in the comic, as "spreading her wings elsewhere." x) Also HUZZAH This is indeed my very first stamp avatar! I've been slowly collecting stamps for years by (1) keeping up with events and (2) buying existing ones cheapest-first across the board, rather than going for one av at a time. Seems like it was a good bet, since previously-cheap stamps are now inflating, and the most expensive ones are likely to see tons of re-releases anyways. Hopefully the prices do come down.

Continuing my pattern of mostly being excited about the items no one else cares about, that Kougra plushie is a great addition to the "items with old janky art" wing of my gallery!

Catch-up Post: DAY 17: A cute way to show off Woodland Neopets. And like how one of the prizes is the comic but using Petpets instead. DAY 18:Comic: D'aw, this one is sweet. Shop Wizard deserves more love than he gets, he's probably the most visited NPC on the entire site afterall. A random themed Day should be "Shop Wizard Day", just so he had at least one. Prizes: A Santa-themed toy version of him, of course. Shop Wizards List is a fun idea for a book but I call Kau Dung on that description. He's certainly a hard working, but anyone who has used the Shop Wizard know for a fact he does NOT double-check. DAY 19:Animation: Okay... Prizes: What? No, seriously, what's the implication here? Did Nick Neopia throw the snowball at the Kacheek? Otherwise why is the prize randomly Nick Neopia? Also why is the other prize Christmas Wocky Carols? There was no Wocky nor carols. I don't get the connection here. DAY 20:Animation: Not that familiar with Faerie's Hope. After giving a quick read of JN's summary, turns out you don't really need to be for this comic. Like at most maybe you may need to know the Light Faerie, Luxinia, had lost her memories & was frozen in a crystal before the fall of Faerieland, so had quite a few reasons to be sad. But otherwise your typical "character is sad, friends get together to cheer them up" setup. Prizes: Is a scarf and mittens really enough to justify the plush being a Christmas version? DAY 22: I guess the animation is cute but kind of odd it's not even the day before Christmas... 8-bit Power-Up Potion! Alright, complaint rescinded. DAY 23:Comic: Setting up some more Reina lore. So the AdCal's previous hidden items was also something planned by Reina's family who seem to have been running the AdCal for generations. Speaking of which, Reina's mother decided not to join the family business leaving the grandmother in charge longer. That was until Reina seemingly officially took over in 2021 and decided to make the host role more active. Cute, though got some nitpicks. First, the last panel should have had a caption box which said "A few years later" or something to indicate some time has passed and a now older Reina had taken over host duties. Second, the hidden item they're preparing are the snowglobes... which were the last hidden items in 2020 before (an adult) Reina gave them out directly. Unless they're implying Reina had a very sudden growth spurt, the item should have been a callback to 2012's Snwoflakes, 2013's Nova, or 2014's Candy Canes (after that we get into the Petpet years). Also this comic seems to imply some interesting biology concerning Christmas Neopets. Like, apparently those antlers are real and grow as they age? Also is funny little Reina only has one pine tree on her shirt and a little green bow in her hair, I guess if you have a look that works... Prizes: Betting next year we're getting a Reina Collectible Coin. In 23 years she could have an entire album page to herself. DAY 24: Candychan Stamp. That's really all I can say. It's almost a joke including a Christmas Paint Brush alongside it. DAY 25: Four items for Christmas is very nice, three wearables and a rare restocking plush (they're just avalanching the market). DAY 26:Plot & Comic: Orion is finally back with his proof, the Lyre, and we're given a vision which is possibly the first real look into the upcoming The Void Within. Nothing really much to go on right now, a (normal) Aisha and her Faellie (anyone else getting Death Stranding vibes?) shipwrecked/transported to (someplace) and are running from shadow-y monsters. Also, Lord Kass's sword, Trithduril, is there? Prizes: I believe our first BD weapon for this year! And... it's a bit dissapointing. 2.6 of Air, Fire, Water, Earth, & Light icons (no Dark or Physical). Not sure why its a gift box (probably would have been better as just a gift box).

I must say, after having only the Alien Aisha design before now, it's funny seeing an Aisha with a proper space helmet that doesn't just leaves holes for the antennae ears lol.

The purple stuff on the Aisha's hand--the one she used to grab the tentacles previously--appears to start spreading as she sleeps. By the last panel it's darker with jagged edges and visible stars. The Faellie also appears to have developed the same effect across its whole body. Does "the void within" refer to some kind of space-themed corruption that spreads to living things?

The Faellie also appears to have developed the same effect across its whole body. Does "the void within" refer to some kind of space-themed corruption that spreads to living things? If you look carefully, in the second to last panel, the Void Colour has spread to the Aisha's neck. The Faellie's repaired gadget, placed on the Aisha's arm in the final panel, seems to reverse the void's colour. So I agree that it's a space-themed corruption, but with the caveat that it's reversible with the right equipment.
Oh, that poor Faellie, its owner was being overtaken by the void colour, and the petpet stopped and even reversed the spread by fixing the bracelet gadget, but at the cost of itself being overtaken by the void. Not sure why it's taken me this long to realize, but I really like that trope of faithful pets. I'm eager to see what tomorrow brings.

What is this strange feeling? Is this the emotion known as... hype? It's been so long, I'd almost forgotten how it feels.
