Cash Shop: Flickering Light Bulb

Doing what’s right. Helping them. Saving them. Getting caught. Unfair treatment, a tiny room. Walls closing in, darkness all around you. Who will save them now? What use am I in this room? It’s suffocating me. How can they lock me up when I am trying to stop injustice? What if I never leave here. What will happen to my children, my minions. I can’t be stuck here, I can’t. I should have been more careful, I’m so STUPID, I can’t believe this has happened again… are the walls closer? They’re moving closer and I can’t sleep. I’m going to be trapped in here. I’m not scared for myself, I’m scared for them. If I can’t help them I don’t know what I would do. Help me get out, help me! The room is around me and it’s closing in, it was in my mind but now it’s real and don’t let it take me away from them!

Flickering Light Bulb
Fueled by the terror of reawakened traumatic memories, Maybel’s nightmare has manifested into corporeality and has become a danger to us all. The walls are closing in fast, scraping towards us inch by haunting inch. Do not let it overwhelm us, help Maybel break free from the nightmare now by picking up the Flickering Light Bulb from the Cash Shop and defeating the Shrinking Cell!

The Shaggy Beast Pelt will retire on February 1st.

Barin sucks. He's only T8 and there's no way he can beat this challenger lol

By the way, love the new foreground. I'm definitely going to try to grab one.

Animal abuse and slaughter, youth murder, cruel experimentation, blood, guts, gore, violence, and an entire Kinkylove set, and we can't even curse in a gif despite there no longer being a curse word filter and apparently no plans of re-adding it. Nice going on the priorities, Subeta.

@Makani Yep, UAs are going through all the tickets to let people know. Someone should reply to you in the next hour or so <3

@Amber
Thank you! I did get my CSC. I had opened a ticket, but I added a note saying it should be closed.

Amber

@Mackenzi @AshleyNC @Xenalicious @curbdirt @PUNK @Makani I’m pinging everyone here that mentioned purchasing CSC earlier and not receiving it yet. You should have your CSC now! We’re still looking to what exactly caused the delay, but it should be fine for now. :)

Oooh, not only a good amount of new challengers and fresh ideas for battle arena content, but expanding on site lore and fleshing out NPCs! Brilliant! I can't wait to see the rest of this year's challengers! And all the loot items they drop for my hoarding obsession

@Xenalicious
I filed a ticket and Keith knows about it but like you I am so worried I won't get my item or bonus CSC either. :(
I suck at waiting. ;_;
2

Xenalicious

@AshleyNC Oh No! No csc still or response from filing a ticket either. I hope I get the extra csc and the bonus item if it take forever. Sigh

@Balloon if any NPC has an irrational reaction to balloons, it would have to be Bibi and Lila. Such wanton and gratuitous balloon-destruction that they host every day! They call for donations so that they can "run their game" but it is really a manipulation of the Subetan public to aid them in their sneaky goal of latexy murder.

if it's flickering why isn't the background flickering on the HA?

@Balloon - I don't know about NPCs, but one member of staff that likes to dress as Snow White definitely does :x

oh, that's an interesting concept for a challenger

This description is ugh.... It's too much XD. I do really want that loot though, but it's going to take me years before i can fight this thing.

PUNK

@Amber - okay, thanks for the reply. I will hold off buying any more CSC for the time being, until I hear it's all been fixed (and hopefully the pet renaming issue too) ^_^

Xenalicious

@Amber Thanks. I will do that.

Not that I'm gunning for a balloon-themed cash shop challenger or anything.

@PUNK The Cash Shop items were fixed yesterday, they should all show now. :) The staff is working on fixing the issues that have popped up. I’m sure Keith or Bug will have some sort of thread later about it, but they’ve been doing some upgrades and it’s made a few things not behave properly (because they’re out of date basically).

@Xenalicious I suggest filing a ticket to have a UA keep you updated!

Xenalicious

I was wondering if the csc was off. I bought 40 dollars worth over 30 min ago and no message confirming it. Ugh. It is my bday present. Since it is next week. I hope it goes through. Worried now.
3

PUNK

Hmm, am very wary of buying CSC with real money at the moment, seeing as a lot of things are broken right now.
People on the forums are complaining of not receiving CSC purchased yesterday, items not showing up in the cash shop, and now we can't change pet names either :/

@RNA "Served jail time for “liberating” minions from science facilities during her youth as a protester" - under her list of facts in the Subetapedia :)

I wonder if Maybel was jailed for guerilla activism when she was younger.

demon

i hope this doesnt trigger/stress anyone with claustrophobia. keep safe people and practice self care! dont push yourself to battle if it makes you anxious, take it in steps if you need to, and have a comfort nearby. you'll be okay!

ah, the loot totally makes up for how uncomfy this challenger makes me lmao, many kudos to the artists

also... i've avoided buying doubles but i can't resist filters and that blue is so pretty oh no *o*

:( Aw man - this scary nightmare is a smidge too difficult for me, I can only beat it twice!

I need that broken minion cage though -- in fact I need three of them!

also does this challenger count as a boggart?
5

METROID

Wonderful! I'm gonna guess the CS theme is the fears or motivations of an NPC's actions or behaviors? Seems like a cool concept and a nice way to tie the Friendly Thursday (though I'll always call it TBT by default) opponent to the CS one!

@Sprinter137 lol no

@Amber So we are fighting representations of the secret challengers' worst fears all year long? I'm sold.
