"this is an event that gets people worked up, an event that gets people fighting, squabbling, and squibbling" At least girlie is aware of how much actual hardcore altador cup players definitely hate that she has the worst commentary imaginable. People are way more invested in their actual relationships with other neopets players than the lore that TNT puts out. And although a lot of people do find the lore interesting, you're definitely not benefiting the AC community by dignifying some of the more harmful lore that results in real people "joking with" (bullying) other people. Thanks for doing what tnt does and disregarding the actual AC community's concerns just so you could have your fun content idea I guess?
I'm listening to this video while crushing Elon Hughlis and it feels so validating. Also my favorite altador cup player is Elbin Kroe cause he's just continually in his flop era (and he's also a tiny shoyru so he's adorable). He was originally on team terror mountain and then go traded to tyrannia, and a few years later got traded to faerieland, and as tho that wasn't enough he also retired altogether.
I feel really bad that i cant remember my old account. I played when I was 9 years old, played until I was 11 but I played using my mom's old email. Thank you for making this video because I was randomly feeling nostalgic about Neopets but felt overwhelmed to start 😭🙏
Sports girlie here, I played Water Polo for 12 years after swimming recreationally. In case you're ever stuck in a SAW trap and they ask you what Water Polo is, you can answer this way: "Water polo is the oldest Olympic team sport. It's most similar to soccer (positions are similar and both teams have a goalie + similar goal shape) or basketball (similarity in plays + player structure around the goal in a U shape.) but played in a pool and physical contact is encouraged." Thanks for teaching me about the Altador Cup Lore! I joined team Haunted Woods because they are wonderfully spooky :)
I joined Team Dacardia for my second cup and I’m having a blast so far. Make Some Noise is my favorite. There will never be a day I don’t max it. (I am a lunatic)
I think much of the reason that Neopets has persisted is because they truly embrace and understand their audience. They’ve grown with their players and understand that most of their users are the same queer and neurodiverse folks that were playing twenty years ago. Embracing the identities of their community and representing them authentically is how they’ve survived, and it’s also how they’re drawing players back in. Including myself! Neopets was trans the whole time??? I’m in, sign me up, here’s my hard earned adult money TNT
Oh girl. Cosplayer here, I’ve fully painted my body with that mehron cream stick stuff before. But yeah, because it’s oil-based it won’t dry down, so you have to powder the sh!t out of it to get it to smear less. It’s not smear-proof, but “baking” your face can help a ton. I’ll stop here before I go into a full rant about the different types of body paint, (bc I have a hyperfixation and I’m crazy about it) but yeah. Edit: Also, I hope this didn’t come across as like, criticism? That’s not what I was meaning to do at all with this, just have a lot of personal horror stories with that product so I was feeling your pain lol
I got cheated on last friday and today I cried at work because I was sad, but coming home and seeing you uploaded an almost 2 hour video has cheered me up so much. Thank you much girly 💜
As a Kreludor girlie i won't let my problematic king Motor be disrespected, his boots don't have Xandra and Sloth on them because he respects them, it's because each boot is going right up their respective villain's BUTT. It's like putting someone's name on a bullet, that's a threat and a promise not support!
Thanks again Amanda for shouting out my Altador Cup video luv u so much <3 I loved the stuff during this preseason that they wrote about the Mystery Island and Darigan Citadel's teams scrimmaging against each other during the off season, I thought it was a fun little bond that TNT made about the two teams. Now to see if Void Within will have any plot crossover with the Altador Cup. Would be really cool if there was!
I've been supporting terror mountain since i got them on the personality quiz during the first altador that neopets had. Ten years of no playing later here I am. Still supporting my never winning team alas alas
Xana DiLanche is Team Shenkuu's goalkeeper. She is adorable and suffers from bad nerves (relatable). She has been playing Yooyuball consistently since 2007, yet somehow, "inexperience" is still listed as one of her weaknesses.
ROO ISLAND FOR THE CUP!! 🎉❤️💛💚💙 Thank you for such an incredible vid omg and all the Team Roo Island love Gordo (who now plays for Brightvale) used to be on Roo Island as a defender with Fenny (our cute tiny usul girl) and they were besties! When he left the team Fenny was heartbroken 🥺 but I just know in my heart she gets along so well with girlboss Jair (WHO IS MY QUEEN FOREVER thank you for highlighting how perfect and amazing she is!!!)
I LOVE the Altador Cup I ESPECIALLY LOVE having to grind out incredibly janky decade-old games in the hopes of winning enough Pep Rally Points to afford like 2 cool things per year.
His name is Antola not Anatola 😭My mans Antola was one of the deciding factors for why I went with Shenkuu; a queer couple and trans man(like me) all on the same team. This is my first time participating in the AC.
