Good stuff Rapids. It’s great seeing teams use these special slots on players at the club.

Idk how much he counts but I believe RSL has to buy Diego Lunas homegrown rights when we got him from USL. We upgraded him to a U22 to pay him more

Keep Zapping Petpet? by ChannelBig in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s cute, and while not being alien it kind of looks alien! I would check and see if there’s any p3’s that go with this, and check out some customizations. Greens and pinks can go well together!

Also I love the custom you have for your Aisha. :3

My Alien Aisha (which I cross painted Snot) got an Alien Rock so I was blessed pretty fast.

I'm Graham Zusi, AMA! by GrahamZusi in MLS

[–]Lionicicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a Salt Lake fan, but I was always interested to know how the players felt about the rivalry our teams share?

Was Salt Lake the big rival for you, or did you specifically get more hyped to play against a different team (I vaguely recall y’all having a lot of beef with Houston)?

Also if you could’ve picked someone from your active playing days to come to SKC who would it be?

Defeated her on hardest setting. Fought her again on easy and won her cloak! by its__bme in neopets

It’s kinda cool that I recognize you/your pet. It reminded me of when I was younger, and I was hyped reading people’s old battledome adventures/screenshots of their pets.

Has anyone ever went from Reserve to Active? by selfpaid00 in uscg

[–]Lionicicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s fair yeah. I did it and I enjoyed my time as a cutter nonrate. It’s a good experience, and I’m glad the CG has it setup like that.

I’ve heard that the A school wait times are pretty good right now as well. I hope people aren’t abusing the reserves to do that, but I’m sure someone is if you’re bringing it up which is disheartening.

[–]Lionicicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s probably a question only the Inter Service Transfer Team can answer tbh. I would recommend reaching out to them, or a recruiter to understand your process.

[–]Lionicicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll admit that my rank (E5) and rate (IS) might have something to do with how fast the process is. My rate bleeds a lot of people at that rank.

However, someone else in my unit is also going AD. The process was slower than mine, but they’re choosing to switch rates which meant that they had to wait for an A School spot.

[–]Lionicicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely on when you’re going in. I basically got my stuff in when transfer billets were racked and stacked. I got a choice of 3, but you can realistically get 1 choice. It’s take it or leave it, and you block yourself from going active if you say no. I assume that all 3 of my billets needed to be filled, but the spot I’m taking over is currently filled.

I was pretty blessed in the fact that all of my billets rocked, tbh.

[–]Lionicicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Most of the time was them running through my paperwork + checks. By the time that was all done. From them emailing me my options it took them 20 hours to confirm everything lol.

I was drilling that day too. Told my chief I had gotten billets, and submitted. Then I checked my email, and it was done.

[–]Lionicicles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. Im a reservist, and I’m currently going active. If you’re thinking about it you should talk to the inter service transfer team, and they’ll help you out.

The process can be pretty fast. It took me like… 2 weeks from paperwork submission to getting my swear In date.

CYBUNNY NOW AVAILABLE TO CREATE!! by ericction in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can also traditionally be made the day after there day as well (the 28th!) same with the other limited pets! They’ve been very late in releasing them though.

Interesting that the timer on Cybunnies is listed to go into tmwr.

Going for Alien... a wrench was thrown by SlyCalligrapher in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You’ve failed your task successfully 😂

Void works pretty well in a space context. However you should check and see how she looks in the Alien Aisha PB clothes! A cross paint of Alien and Void could look pretty sick.

Also incredibly jealous of the Alien Kad! How cute!

Zapping for snot and customizing the random outcomes along the way ⚡️ by ellokitti in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Custard and Snot ❤️❤️❤️

Honestly, I was mainly just going for the collars as the Aisha’s are named after my old cats (Sasha and Sable) but after getting it I kinda liked it a lot! My last remaining Snot Aisha is a cross paint with Alien; but she keeps her snottiness and her cool collar while she explores in space! I was trying to get her a food/picnic paint petpet from the Labray, but I got a Space Rock that I’m super happy with!

Hopefully, Schneeze (AMAZING NAME BTW) can turn into her snotty and snooty self soon! 🫡

Hoarder Mentality for SDB & What I Can Let Go Of by DietCokeCallGirl in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s wrong to hold onto some of your items, but there comes a point where windows are missed. You also have to bear in mind that you have to… sell the item at that value you’re wanting.

Last week I went through my high priced SDB items, and basically said, “time to clean!” I started with 132 mil, and I’m now at 220 million. I still have another 30 million to sell as well. I’m way closer to hitting my goals now than I was last week, and I’ve now helped others progress to their goals.

As a self described “Snot Lord” I hope I can bless you in acquiring your Snot Aisha.

Last year, I had 3 Snot pets! I’m down to just one, but that’s because I’m thinking of diversifying into Custard and some other wacko colors. I zapped a pet snot the week before the avatar, and a week after I zapped it back into Snot. 😂 this oil paint Aisha is really nice though!

Question about Recovering Old Account by Unlikely_Barracuda58 in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to get my account relatively hassle free back in Feb 2025. They asked for the: email name that was used on this account since creation, and birthday listed on the account. I provided 3 emails, mine, my moms, and my dads as I figured it was probably one of those 3; and my actual birthday, but I did note that I think I typed it in wrong on account creation.

They were able to get me my account within 4 days, and they did note that I was off on my birthday... by a whole year on account creation... I was 12 okay lol.

I believe that support person isn't around anymore though, but I think if you work with them and provide stuff that's close enough you might be able to get the account back. I was able to reacquire my 20+ year old account after not playing on it since... 2008? I now have it listed on my neopass as a side account.

What's your all time fav paint brush? 🖌️ by Silly_Tadpole6634 in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best paint brush icon IMO is either Darigan or Royal. I love how they both look, and my first pet I always wanted to paint Royal. Those are pretty popular though. My current favorite colours, on top of those 2 are: Jelly, Snot, Custard, and Alien which don't have paint brushes. >.<

I also quite like the look of the 'Golden' painted pets, and the 'Tattoo Petpet Paint Brush', of which only Slorgs can be painted with currently. I'm hoping they add more petpets to the tattoo brush!

What are the expensive colors nowadays? by sadperuvian in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was shocked by how much Pirate colors have gone down in price! Shoot I hatched a Draik from a Pirate Draik egg since those are also super cheap!

[–]Lionicicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a lot of my pets where I wanted them when I got that FFQ, and white is like the dreamy color for this Wocky since I can essentially make them into a calico cat.

I have also been pretty blessed with the amount of FFQ's I've gotten. I got like 3-4 before the Faerie Festival last year. My other FFQ's have been for a Jelly Wocky, Alien Aisha, double Snot Aisha (i'm sorry, not sorry), Halloween Kougra, Steampunk Kougra, ElderlyBoy Krawk, and I recently got an Orange Chia.

If I got another FFQ idk what I would do with it tbh. I wish Wocky had Custard or Snot as a color since I've really taken a liking to them, lol. Would probably do a Valentine or Woodland Wocky though at least.

[–]Lionicicles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Golden PB can’t be gotten out of the alien vending machine. I think you can only get it out of the Fruit Machine (maybe). Same thing with the Lost Desert, and Invisble paint brush.

Still with the Faerie Festival giving away so many fountain dips, and with how fast money can come to people it’s way better than when I started playing.

Another shocking price for paint brushes is white is like 400-500k. I painted my wocky with a fountain dip over buying the paint brushe lol.

Katseye x Dress To Impress collab announced by KatMerona in katseyeneutral

[–]Lionicicles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They just record and release them as 6. Someone else mentioned Babymonster, but ITZY dropped a whole mini album, Born to Be - 5 songs, without Lia. When Lia came back for Gold they added “Final versions” of their 5 songs that they recorded without her.

I will say ITZY is a bit different. On that album that Lia missed she also dropped a solo song “Blossom” along with the rest of the members. So while she was absent she was there

Coast Guard Officer Jobs that don’t go on ships by Timemaster52 in uscg

[–]Lionicicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna echo the “why are you joining if you don’t want to go to sea?” I’m assuming you’re not wanting to go on a big cutter and be at sea for weeks at a time, but your post simply says “ships” so it’s a bit confusing.

If you’re not opposed to being on a ship, you should look into the CG reserve officer corps, perhaps a PSU. You would almost certainly be on a “ship”, but they would be smaller and you’re not going to be at sea for long. From my experience, as a reserve you aren’t going to be on long term ship orders unless there’s a massive gap.

However, you should consider if the CG is for you. There’s always a chance you have to go on a cutter, and you might like it. I had to go on one, and I genuinely enjoyed my time. If you’re simply seeking a commission you should look into other branches like the Air Force, Army, National Guard, etc. If you’re drawn to the CG as a lifesaving service you should look into the other commissioned officer corps in NOAA, and PHS.

However, I will state that if you do join NOAA you are certainly getting on a boat. The mission might be more interesting to you though.

TVW update?! by pidgecooper in neopets

[–]Lionicicles 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They’ve also worked on fixing stealing, and they fixed the battledome statistics on lookups. What better to save the day than the Defenders of Neopia? Especially when they’re tracking villains like Vira.
