	The Tribulations of Major Crandall The bespectacled Darigan Aisha clad in the purple and black livery of Lord Kass’ army scowled at the green Moehog in a worn brown robe before him.

8 Ways to Celebrate a Neopian Pride Month

It’s the Month of Relaxing, and all over Neopia, colourful banners are going up, rainbow streamers are fluttering through the streets of Neopia Central, and Pets are celebrating a month of love, identity, and self-expression. It’s Neopian Pride Month! This special time of year is a chance for Neopians to honour what makes us unique, to uplift our communities, and to sprinkle a little extra colour, kindness, and joy into the world. As someone who is part of Neopia’s queer community, I know how important it can be to make this month special. Whether you're a longtime Neopian or a fresh-faced newbie, here are eight heartfelt, silly, and sparkly ways to show your pride this month. 1. Take a Dip in the Rainbow Pool Since Neopia’s beginnings, the Rainbow Pool has been *the* place for magic, transformation, and joy. What better way is there to show your pride than with a splash of colour? Head to the Rainbow Pool and transform your Neopet with a magical paint brush. Choose from Rainbow, Disco, Swampgas, or whatever colour will best express your Pets true self! Don’t have a Paint Brush? No problem! Window shopping at the Rainbow Pool and dreaming up future looks with your pet can be just as fun. Maybe even set a goal together to save up for that elusive Royal or Faerie makeover. Pride is about possibility, after all.
