Am I the only one who thought Silent Hill F with the cap?

That jacket is very cute. Body-morphing costume sets are fine and dandy, but please.. more actual clothing items on pet days! Love to see it.

@pet day cap: Welp, who's gonna die? (iykyk)

the cap costume is super cute, but i wish the wing wasn't covering the body :c

i loved the clay shoyru. i love how clay pets look, but i wish all of them consistently looked ike clay shoyru does!

NP outfits have been pretty good lately, glad to see it.

The cap is so random... 3 shenkuu items and 3 bat/citrus items... Like just 2 totally unrelated things/themes. It's like they didn't know what else to put in the cap so they put some up and coming shenkuu things in there.

CUTE! HOWEVER! Will we ever see a day without the mention to NC NC NC!!!!! My pets need to eat! lol

That dragon Shoyru is super adorable The wings look a little odd, but the head is so cute. And it actually fits on a regular Shoyru too (unlike, say, the Mynci day heads)!
The hoard is nice, but.. why does it already contain the shadow of the fully constructed hoarding Shoyru?

The rising blood moon over the torii gate is super pretty too. Too bad it's the special item ^^; Not sure what the punny Shoyru is based on, but it reminds me a little of an artist's work that I saw once, a long time ago. They made fruity dragons, from what I recall

Clay Shoyru, while simple, looks pretty well shaded as well. Cool day, all in all, in my opinion! ^^

This is the last straw! I have had it with NC NC NC! I am 90 percent going to play on a great site that does not push real money, has great games, a great leadership, and you name it! None of this horse and pony show stuff! YES! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH abuse and am not taking any more! Have a great day! I know I will!

The detailing on the Clay Shouru is exquisite!

One more Clay checked off the list, and three more conventional colours left until the Shoyru is completed!

Did they not fix any old HTML clothes??

@rosemarie2003 See you next week.

I like the capsule itemss but I have no idea what they're meant to represent, does anyone know?

Love the hoard. Bought it.

The way they just casually canonize Shinto to Shenkuu by tossing a torii gate in there??? It's kind of funny to me actually, like... that's not a generic Japanese landmark, torii gates have very specific meanings and implications, even moreso from the distinct styles they're built in. It's not just something you casually toss in as a "generic Japanese mythology visual" lol

it's kind of iffy to have distinctly Shinto symbolism and visuals used like this, but it's not like they're above using ANYTHING for Shenkuu. so idk what I expect

I do like the higanbana foreground at least, as a standalone that's nice and its description IS aware of the lore for it.

@sakaarson

All of the "blood orange" stuff doesn't seem to reference anything in general and don't really have any coherency with the other three themed items.

The background, statue and foreground are all meant to evoke "spooky Japanese mythology vibes" (or something)-- higanbana (red spider lilies) are symbolic of never seeing someone / something ever again. Torii gates are associated with sacred and protected sites + are gateways for kami and spirits to use. And you often see statues like that in forested + rural spots in Japan as small spots of remembrance, miniature shrines, or just as dedications to some specific entities.

@marinebeast Interesting. Thanks!

Does anyone else think that costume would've looked better on the Draik or Scorchio? :/

I really want clothes and wigs that actually work for my beautiful girl, not full body coverings!

They did my guys Shoyru so dirty 😭 the outfits are so, so, so ugly. The dragon one is very odd-looking, and the capsule one is nonsense and the bodysuit is ugly AND the wings cover the body omg.

Body coverings really don't provide much leeway in customisation. Really with tnt would provide clothing rather than full body outfits.

The capsule is so disrespectful. The torii gate IS a religious symbol and should not be used casually like this. To give an analogy, this is like using a crucifix in an NC item.

at this point body coverings look more like scrapped pet color ideas
