Jingle jingle jingle! Do you hear the sleigh bells ringing? Feel the chill in the air? Our Winter Starlight Celebration-themed issue of the Neopian Times is coming up on December 13th (12/13)! We can't wait to see your festive submissions, so be sure to send them to us starting November 30th (11/30)!

Hello! I somehow only *just* today read the text on the main page for the Igloo Garage Sale: "Mika and Carassa are Chias who have lived on Terror Mountain for years and years, however it's been SO cold lately that they have decided to move somewhere with a more tropical climate." It's been over two decades and these poor chias still haven't been able to move to a warmer place!? D: Could they hire a proxy to run the garage sale while they finally get to go somewhere warmer? ~ anonymous
Hello! It’s been really hard for Mika and Carassa to move. As you know, Chias have very short “legs”. So they have to consider and plan for that…But we think, with time, they will eventually reach their dream home! ~~Miss Rainbow

I am noticing a slight increase in artwork and items featuring a petpet called Talpidat. These little burying, negg eating creatures are cute. But I'm trying to imagine what their appendages are like. Are they fins? Or are they like part slug? Or do they just trail some sort of magic essence? ~ smudgeoffudge
I’m glad you think Talpidats are cute! (as one of the artists that helped create this little creature hehe ♥) These little guys are part feline and part amphibian, so they do sometimes have a slime-like coat on their bodies to protect their coats, like an axolotl, which helps them bury a little bit faster and can sometimes leave a little trail behind if they’ve been up to some mischief. And this has been TNT’s The Most Extreme - PETPET EDITION! ~TNT Fae & Aesop (the Talpidat loremaster)

Please can you release Celebratory Confetti Cannon into the hidden tower? It's a decent battledome weapon, which will be impossible to attain once the wheel of celebration is removed ~ yellow_flash_0
Hmmm, this is an interesting idea! We are keeping it in mind. Thanks for writing in! ~Miss Rainbow

Converted sponge techo has been released! Can you please add the nostalgic sponge techo to the styling studio? ~emaciate
He was soaking up some extra orange paint in the back, but he is now available in his classic spongey version in the Styling Studio! c: ~TNT Fae

I've been trying to get my hands on Frostbite Body Paint for like two years now with no luck... Is there any possibility of it getting a rerun in the NC Mall in the future? ~ itsuko103
Hello! We might see this item return in an Overstock sale at some point… but we may also include it to the Archives Wheel! Not sure yet, or when… but we see that its a popular item and we will keep that in mind to see when we can re-release it! ~Miss Rainbow

Why does the "Unidentifiable Weak Bottled Faerie" have a keyhole? ~ seeliewood
As mysterious & unidentifiable as the potion itself is… maybe it could be because it leads to a tiny little Faerieland forest realm to unlock your pet’s ~ F U L L ~ P O T E N T I A L ~ ? (& no we do not know where or what the “key” is, so good luck!) ~TNT Fae

Hey, TNT! I am inquiring about the Medical helmet. Could you recategorize it to clothes instead of none? ~ cara_cara__18
Hello! We have categorized “Medical Hairnet” to Clothes. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! ~~ Goldfish in Bowl

HAPPY THOUGHTS

WHO DESIGNED THE MISERY COSPLAY HALLOWEEN OUTFIT I need them to know they have my deep appreciation and admiration. :D Love it! ~rielcz

Hi TNT! First of all, lots of love for Faerie Fragments! Even with its quirks, it's a great game, super fun, and has been a great distraction to worldly happenings. But EXTRA love is deserved by y'all for creating a NON-BINARY, NEURODIVERGENT character! I feel so seen! Thank you TNT! ~ ossabritt

Hello to all of the great and wonderful TNT members. As we celebrate 25 years of Neopets I wanted to say a very special thank you. Thank you to everyone past and present that has created music for the various games and events on Neopets. Every time I listen to the Time Tunnel theme, for instance, it opens up emotions of reflection and what could have been. While other game themes spring to mind boundless joy and hope. Here's to all of the music past and present. And hopefully in the future. ~ ammiesokhti

The Dream Quest
Solanza couldn’t keep her jaw from dropping as she stared at the white Lupe, the protagonist of her NeoQuest game, and the Neopian who had saved her life. “You’re Xantan?” she asked incredulously.

Castle Planner's Journal: 1000 Years
Lisha yawned, and climbed out of bed. It had been a long night of trying to sleep. Too many possibilities were buzzing around her head, and it kept her from relaxing enough to sleep.

Sophie's Spellbinding Discovery
BOOM! An explosion sounded through the trees in the forest, shaking their leaves and causing the critters throughout to scatter in shock.

Beginner's Guide to L54 Battling, Part 1: Introduction
The recent Void incidents in Brightvale and Neopia Central have brought renewed attention to the Battledome. Repeatedly crushing Voidlings may be fun for a while, but perhaps you are beginning to think, "I wonder if I could do this…with other Neopets?!"
