Site Update
The Seasonal Shop is now officially open!
(Lorin also has a link in the shop where you can exchange your flowers.)
Now accepting Flower points through May 31st at 11:59 p.m.
Grab some tea, cake, and pull up a chair while I introduce you to everything the Seasonal Shop has to offer. :3
Make room in your HA's wardrobe, because we have a lot of new wearables for you!
These five pride flags are on holdable staffs and can all be previewed here!
We also have a large assortment of accessories, including a pretty Rainbow Paper Lantern, Red Ribbon Pin for HIV/AIDS awareness and support, and holdable versions of the Violets and Green Carnations you collected all week (thank you for the suggestion on these!). I encourage you to check out the variety we have through Preview Wardrobe to mix and match. :)
The Tea Gardener set might look familiar to you, as Kei graciously donated the set to this event for you all to enjoy! The Tea Gardener Wardrobe contains six items (hair, hat, jacket, shorts, shoes, and garden).
For our fauna lovers, we now have an Otter and Purple Rhino for you to take home!
(Though you should probably get a few extra for some of your pets to play with, too.)
We certainly can't have a tea party without cake! The Rainbow Cake item will restore 5 points of energy and regenerates once a week, so your last bite will never truly be your last~
Up next is the glowing Bottled Confidence item, which I truly hope you all enjoy.
When you Use this item on another user (click Use, don't actually transfer/send the item to them), it will send them a notification that reads:
Sender's Username (#) thinks you are wonderful and wishes you all the happiness in the world!
Not only will you cheer a fellow player up, but by sending this item, you will unlock two forum titles/achievements--one for yourself, and one for the recipient. As a sender, you will unlock the title "Complimentary" in the default font color. The recipient will have the title "Bright" unlocked, which will appear in rainbow colors. Therefore, to have both titles, you must both use this item on another person, and have someone use it on you! :3
I am also very excited to announce the winner of our Garden Tea Party Background contest!
All of the submissions were wonderful, and I was very pleased to see so many different styles and renderings of the prompt. We will definitely have to do more of these in the future!
Without further ado, congratulations to Ixyra (#35936)!
Background image preview. We will be adding this to the Knowledge Base shortly.
The Garden Tea Party Theme item will permanently unlock this site background/theme for your account, while the Garden Tea Party Wallpaper is a wearable version for your HA.
Last but not least (for the items, anyway) is the Bottled Pride!
This is a magic potion that will change your active pet into one of 10 colorations not available in the Seasonal Shop. I won't post them here in case you want to be surprised, but the description does contain a full list of the 10 possibilities.
And now, for the pets! We had many requests for this shop to be filled with pets, and we were able to make this happen with the amount of incredible submissions we received. Below is just a sampling of the 30 individual pets you will find in the store!
Please note that I did accept some additional pets that didn't make it into the shop, but will be used as site pets in other ways. Keep an eye out for that! I will also be handling prize/pet payments throughout the week, as well as updating the current pets with description details and all that jazz. :3
Cheers!
(And don't forget that our HIV/AIDS fundraiser for the Cracked Teacups is open through May 27th at 11:59 p.m.)
Thank you on behalf of Kei and myself for helping us create wonderful things for this event!

cinna (#36336) Not too ironic- I figure getting them from the shops is like hatching them- we can only tell birth sex, not their genders at that stage. :3
Once they grow up a bit and start discovering who they are, then we can use the gender potions to define their true gender. ;)
Fantastic event! Hoping an intersexed flag gets added!

I don't... really like the idea of having a "birth sex" label like that, at all, for a lot of reasons I won't get into here but using the potions to bring out their true gender is a cute idea.
regardless of that it's still a little ironic to see that the usual only gender options anywhere when you have a form to pick a gender, are still the only options for a pet specifically labelled agender
not a big deal, just an "oh" moment as I said before

kelsey (#6094) Do what I'm doing, helping those with limited points get the extras they can't. I'm doing it because otherwise I'd have over 1k-1.5k wasted. :P
Also anyone reads this and needs something they can't afford in the seasonal shop, message me with what it is and ask, I don't mind helping. :3

I just messaged a few people with low points in messages I saw (where the thread was ending) and am helping a couple out.
