i'm not a huge sports person either but it's so funny bc pretty much every phenomenon you mentioned has a real-life equivalent and deadass i think that's why people love sports! every team got the baddies and hotties, the scandals, the huge asshole who also happens to play good, the guy who says he's going to retire every year but never does it... 💀
Was just gonna say that this is exactly how I got into Formula 1 last year. It's petty drama with stupidly rich European men, and the girls are constantly FIIIIGHTING 🤭
@@ShitakeMushroomsmy Grandma is a petrol head and she got all the soft-spoken, sedentary men of the family into roars of indignation when she told us the F1 tea last year. she never actually made us watch it, so it brought us all together just being angry about something as a unit
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!
No cause, can I just say. I dont even believe Motor about his boots!!! Like, I dont think the man even has the ability to be politicaly inclined enough to actualy support Sloth or Xandra or ANYTHING that requires any ammount of actualy standing for something. Its TOTALY giving like, teenager learning "what are the most offensive things I can put on my clothes to get people triggered lmaooooooooooooooo" but then you ask them anything about it and its obvious they cant even pronounce the word fascism correctly.
omg you fucking CLOCKED him you’re SO right. that kind of teenager-who-stans-serial-killers-just-to-be-edgy vibe totally fits with the whole insecure little man syndrome thing thank u mindhunter u nailed it 🙏
I thought that Motor wrote their names on his boots as if he's "stepping" on Xandra and Sloth and whatever they're representing, because shoes is a bit of a strange place to indicate what your allegiance is, but then I realized that Motor kind of feels like a person who might support Xandra, because he feels like a contrarian, while Sloth thing... uh, no idea? Is Motor pro-slavery and pro-authoritarianism??? He has a pin with "A" on it which I assume represents Anarchy - which doesn't really align with Sloth at all. A bit Xandra, sure, but even then Xandra wanted to become a ruler of Neopia herself. Maybe he really is just a provocative person.
He seems like the kind of guy who looks up "definition of fass-ism" and is unable to pronounce any of the words in the definition. And then he ends with, "I don't know what any of that means."
TNT needs to send you some branded, official Team Darigan Citadel merch, at this point! Thanks for putting this all together!! I didn't know pretty much any of this about the personal lives or even which teams are popular.
Honestly it's adorable that this pure hearted dummy surrounded by thieving cheating criminals will just unknowingly have his buds fork over a bunch of dirty money to help him and the team out. They must love him.
As a diehard Maraqua main fighting in the trenches for my soggy ocean team, Elon is the necessary evil for us. He's an insufferable piece of work, but he's OUR insufferable piece of work. He may be good at only one thing, but BOY does he perform that one thing insanely well.
Y U GOTTA MAKE SPORTS SOUND SO GOOD AMANDA but fr basing your favorite color (or one of them) on a sports team is too relatable, a team can really sneak into being part of your personality lmao
I think that Motor Dahy wrote Sloth and Xandra's names on his heels so that he can metaphorically walk over them and put them in the dirt with every step he takes, because the names are very specifically on the lower part of the side of his shoes which is the closest they can be to the soles while still being visible. He doesn't seem like he knows how to process his emotions so it seems like it could be something he'd do.
This is my first Altador cup and this video really helped me at the perfect time. I don’t now anything about my team or the game but now I’m a haunted woods stan for LIFE!!!🧡🖤
the only thing the altador cup is potentially missing imo is contracts and trading. it creates a lot of drama that real sports has, like a team going far when their best player is on the last year of their contract, can they win it this time, maybe for the last time? or when a beloved player is traded away from a struggling team because they can't afford to retain them after the season is over. a player who's been on several teams over the years finally finding a home where they're loved by their teammates and fans alike. the storylines could go crazy.
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 :)
hi i haven't watched this video yet but i will just say this already because im so excited. elon hughlis was my very first blorbo. i ran an altador cup ask blog briefly on tumblr. i roleplayed various altador cup guys on the jellyneo forums (mostly barit jowes) i wrote team maraqua fanfiction for the neopian times about them basically surviving the whirlpool/war against the pirates. i made a team manager fancharacter for every single team. and well yeah i also made an entire altador cup themed comic series for the neopian times. anyway this video was made for me. i can't wait to learn what has become of these guys since my account was alas frozen. thank you edit: elon hughlis got even worse from when i was obsessed with him in the early 2010s. i'm so thrilled -btw derbi azar is a woman! which makes her asshole behavior all the more endearing to me i'll be honest
this is the best thing to listen to in the background while i grind tonight. let's go team terror mountain! i joined for rinok fitel and i'm NOT ashamed to admit it
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
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
I did not know Altador Cup has so much drama, I'm new to the game and I loved Team Darigan but now they are my beloveds. I've been reading a lot of Shenkuu lore just because I fell in love with Mirsha. This is now my favorite neopets video, thank you for all your effort. And YES Altador Cup has a lot of hotties.
Layton Vickles FINALLY getting the callout he deserves (because he would never ask for it himself, he's just that guy) and it's by our ACDC queen AMANDA 🥰🥰🥰
My fav team is Tyrannia! Been supporting them for 10 years now~ I just really love prehistoric and dinosaur pets so thats what drew me to them in the first place. Lemme tell you about our right forward 'Spikes' Barmie; he's a Tyrannian Krawk who used to be known for his dirty play tactics, but now he's into clothing design and even started his own fashion line. Apparently he also dabbles in prehistoric stone and lava printing. Love this dude~
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
Yes!! Thank you for providing the most perfect video to watch while grinding for Team Darigan! 🖤💜 OMG, your Altador Cup experience is so real. irl sports have never made sense to me :')
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!!!)
You might like pro wrestling 😄 Y'all don't even know! Liv Morgan trying to steal everything from Rhea Ripley: her championship, her team, HER MAN Dirty Dominic Mysterio - the tea is hotttt 🤭
Thank you for the video! Tbh, the main reason I love the cup is the drama and tidbits of character/world building we get. I love getting more lore from these characters~ Also, some info about Krell 'quitting': it's pretty much the press accusing him of being too old to lead the team. Here is the text from AC XIII(got this from Tumblr): "AC XIII is proving to be a difficult year for the team captains. Krell Vitor of Team Haunted Woods is another captain to be embroiled in a controversy after his team's poor show in AC XII. Vittor is being accused of being too old to lead the team anymore and is being asked to retire to make way for the younger talents waiting in the wings. Dismissing all this talk as mere rumors, Vittor has decided to play for one more year to show his mettle. Will he be able to play a captain's knock?"
I am a chronic team-hopper but gods when I have the energy I go ALL OUT to support whatever team I picked! I feel bad cuz I really wanna rep Dacardia this year but I just don't have the time to commit, I barely have time to do the plot stuff! Thanks for spillin all the tea, I feel there's never enough time to catch it all as it unfolds 👀
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.

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 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.
My first year back on Neopets I played for Altador and we won but since then because of the hunky Bori captain, I've been on Team Krawk Island. Hearing about the gay captain for Moltara is really cool though and I think I might switch my team next year to them. I think my favorite thing about the Moltara team is all their nicknames being different muscles and the captain's nickname is Pecs which I love. Hope everyone has a good year and may we all unite against Kiko Lake
40:00 I recently saw someone on r/neopets who had their Aethia Stamp taken by Kiko Lake right after it was sent back to their inventory after nobody bid on it in the auction house. I'm seeing people asking for 14M NP or more for that item on the TP at the moment #DrainKikoLake
What game is everyone trying to max while watching this? I'm doing sosd! (also Amanda showing up in Darigan Citadel colors is maybe the least surprising thing I've seen today, lol)
I've always supported DC but this year jumped ship to Dacardia! We are a pretty chill bunch on the boards and it's been really nice. It helps that I score most of my goals with Rowdy since it feels like I'm using Tandrak ♥
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)
Loving the content as always! Also I'm sure you've seen it already but just in case, the official Neopets tabletop roleplaying game is live on kickstarter right now. The campaign still has four days to go so I wanted to let you know 🥰 (also hoping the insomnia is improving!)
Omg dude brightvale! I had the thought they were cheating they are in the lead and I'm like how!!!! Something fishy is afoot. Glad it's not just me haha (go team shenkuu we are doing really well!)
@@hawiiankiwi YES see you guys absolutely OBLITERATED us yesterday another day of Ls across the board and yet despite the dozens of games i played i never doubted that mirsha and the gang DID that!!!! if it isnt gonna be us it BETTER BE YALL
a sports helmet would round out the look. amanda on a team field "omg my eye black looks terrible hang on while I fix it. Idk that I'm the quarterback and we get a million delay of game penalties"
I'm just gonna say it... I ship Leera and Layton... I think they would be a great couple. Or possibly a very entertaining toxic ass couple. Hard to say.
thank you for representing us asexuals in the audience
I thought for sure this was going to be an Ace video. Lol
2 hours of Amanda yapping about god knows what? Sign me up
i think his boot heels say SLOTH and XANDRA so he can constantly be stepping on them. iconic actually

I never realized neopets had a detailed story.But, then again I never pay attention to the story or the cup
The only sports cup I understand is the Piston Cup
edit: TRANSGENDER NEOPETS???? IM GONNA CRY THAT'S SO COOL 😭
i loved the makeup and the whole outfit tbh and im SO RELIEVED for this video - a person who also dislikes sports and never understood the altador cup
