What would be your dream Summer Event theme??

[Akito awesomeness]

I think something set in the clouds would be cool! Like maybe a city in the clouds esque event!

i'd love to see an event about urban legends, cryptids, mythical/paranormal creatures, etc! can't wait for it regardless tho. the summer events are always super fun (:

i second this idea. i think it could be really cool.

I would love like a multi pantheon type event. With like greek and egyptian and japanese mythology. Or others, but not sure if the 2014 egypt would make that impossible.

Otherwise a western, or pirate one could be cool.

yes!! i was going to suggest a mythology one! a western or pirate one wouldve been one of my next picks too

I'd love to see some of these themes explored:

Music Festival - exploring lots of different genres of music through different stages such as metal, rock, punk, country, pop, etc. Would be an awesome event to introduce items themed around these genres, like spiked/studded jackets, patches to decorate vests and jackets, country western style shirts and jeans, new cowboy hats, cute crop tops, and fun hair styles like mohawks, hair metal styles, etc, as well as instrument items, which I feel we are really lacking.

Post Apocalypse: Surviving in the wasteland fits right in with the event activity of trading in tokens and items for new stuff. A cool chance at some really grungy, fun items and pets. Armor made from street signs, hockey masks, mutated creatures and backgrounds and scenery that would really fit well with that item set from Halloween 2023, because those items are super cool, but we don't really have relevant backgrounds to use them on top of right now.

Spelunking: a chance to make some real fun bioluminescent critters, or unique animals adapted to lightless environments like the blind cave salamander which would work great on the axolotl base we already have, or other species themed after cave animals like the blind cave fish, which has a really cool look to it. Snake lines edited for an Olm would be super cool too. Harnesses and cave exploration gear, crystals and stalagmites and things would be awesome scenery items. Maybe a chance to introduce new spider lines, because if you haven't seen a Cave Harvestman spider, they are really cool looking.

Castles in the sky: Something with floating islands, air ships, species adapted for life in the sky! Beautiful cloud scenery for different weather situations, fun imaginative plants to thrive in the lower oxygen environment high up. Doesn't have to have a medieval feel to be castles, these could be very fantasy. Maybe a castle made of clouds with rainbow bridges? Or different kingdoms for different weather patterns, so a thunderstom kingdom, snow storm, rain, etc?

maybe a throwback theme? pets themed after the 50s-2020’s would be really cool!! i’d love more 2000s themed scene/emo pets :3

[harrowhark]

superhero theme!

[virtualghost]

Steampunk! Like a time travel/ AU of the internet event.

Or a Renaissance fair

A terrarium theme- where an experiment goes wrong and now the plants are taking over the lab!

Wild West theme or a trip to Tokyo Japan-> trip around the world!

A hiking trip for my cryptid people’s

Detectives/mystery something like who framed rogger rabbit

I got a long list :3

A kawaii summer event complete with neon rave pets!

I love this omg!!
There's really nothing wrong with the theme imo, plenty of things use it. If you're really that upset by it simply don't participate ¯\_(°3°)_/¯
Tons of people really like the idea of it too. I don't understand wanting to "protect" the site from it?? There are plenty of games that use the theme and are still incredibly family friendly. I also don't see how it's not appropriate given this day and age? The world ending is not around the corner? It's not like the CS staff would be making horrible bloody pets? This site is, and has always been, perfectly fine for children. One summer event won't change that. That's like saying the cryptids from the last summer event were bad and ruined the site because a 13 year old saw it.
The slumber party event didn't ruin it because of the Nightmare theme. The space event didn't harm anyone with the alien designs. The Halloween events have had their share of "not innocent" designs such as the green witch bunny (which has anti-semetic history). One event will not ruin anything for anyone. It seems rude to say no one else can have fun with this event/theme. Some people are grossed out by bugs but it's not like they've been banned from the site? Spiders, rats, scorpions, and snakes haven't ruined this for anyone.

Point is, this theme is fine and several people really want it. The theme is already on the site, sp obviously the staff doesnt think its inappropriate. From oekaki, to role-playing, to even items and pets from past events. There's nothing wrong with it. I strongly support this theme. An Apocalypse is a hypothetical, and that's all there is to it.
Being so against the event idea because it's "inappropriate" simply isn't a valid reason.
