❀ Phytophantom Garden ❀'s Bulletins
❀ [[tumbleweed rolls through the graveyard]] ❀
It's a quiet month here, so enjoy your February~
❀ That's all for now, but we have more items and updates on the way! See you next update, or perhaps in our discord server? ;)
❀ Have a lovely beginning-of-year~ ❀
❀ January Prompt: Firework fun!
Does your Phantom like to play with Roman candles? Sparklers? or perhaps... something a little bigger (*cough* and possibly illegal without a permit *cough*)? Whether they're a flashy firebug or more of a sparkler scaredycat, let's see what shenanigans they get up to in the new year! 🎉✨
❀ Glitter & Glow:
MYOs submitted on/before the last day of January can have sparkling, glittery, or sparking plants!
Spangled, sparkled, or brilliantly shimmered-- let that specter shine! This month's trait is unnatural glitter, sequins, sparklers, disco balls, or similarly dazzling decor growing in/on/from your Phytophantom's plant.
If you have an already-created Phantom and want to add or swap in the trait(s), you may submit an update adding this to their design! The deadline is for all timezones-- this MYO event ends when everywhere in the world has hit the 1st of next month. You don't have to add this trait to your MYO if you don't want to.
Check out our MYO page if you need more info! MYOs are always free/open, and only the monthly trait availability changes.

❀ Incoming: a small surprise raffle 👀
 | Since it's the holiday season, I'll be raffling this lil adopt! Pampas Grass (Cortaderia selloana) ❀ Tiny, blue, jewel-like soul seed-- its delicate facets shimmer like her eyes, and it feels strangely cool and refreshing to the touch. Inside is a downy scrap of a pampas tuft.❀ New Growth: Soft pampas tuft antennae and grass blades sprout from her head and twine into her hair. ❀ Life Kiss: wherever she walks, little baby blades of grass grow behind her. Nearby plants seem to thrive when she touches or talks to them. Entering the raffle is easy-peasy! All you need to do is comment on this bulletin that you'd like to join the raffle. ค(๑✪ᆺ✪๑)ค The winner will be drawn Dec. 26 🎁 |
❀ December Prompt:
There is no prompt for this month-- December is busy for a lot of y'all! Instead, the special trait this month is...
❀ Festive Free-for-all:
MYOs submitted on/before the last day of December can have any oddball Phytophantom trait 🎉🎉

- Fantasy/alien/monster plants
- Fungus, lichen, or coral instead of plant
- Glowing plants
- Plants growing unnatural 'fruits' (e.g. foods, objects, etc.)

❀ It is update hours~ ❀
❀ November Prompt: Cozy Season Sips:
As the weather turns, it's a great time to curl up with a good book and a nice drink.
For this month, the prompt is to show us your Phantom enjoying a delicious warm drink! They could be relaxing at home, or out with friends (or even heisting a cheap coffee from a fast-food place, if their personality is a little... less cozy 😳)
Show us in the comments below!
Prompts like this one come out every month, and they're a way to get Phytophantom items-- points will be awarded for prompt entries, and you can use those to snag items of your choice.

❀ Eat Your Greens!:
MYOs submitted on/before the last day of November can bond to plants made of... food??
Cheese fruits, leaves made of candy, pretzel stalks!? What sort of strange cornucopia of Phantoms is this? November Phantoms' plants can be partially made of food items (must be clearly shaped like a plant overall).
If you have an already-created Phantom and want to add or swap in this trait, you may submit an update adding this to their design! The deadline is for all timezones-- this MYO event ends when everywhere in the world has hit the 1st of next month. You don't have to add this trait to your MYO if you don't want to.

❀ Time for an update~ ❀
 | ❀ New Item: Necromancer's Spade Even in death, new life may yet be unearthed... This spade lets your Phytophantom bond with a dead, dying, or fatal-state* plant! (*Any state in which a plant could not ordinarily remain alive; e.g. burning, petrified, or ripped apart.) Though Phytophantoms usually need a living plant to keep themselves from fading, a few determined Phantoms can anchor themselves with ones that have already died... |
❀ October Prompt: Spooked Specters:
Ghosts can be pretty scary... but does anyone ever think to check if if -they're- scared?
For this month, the prompt is to show us how well your Phantom handles Halloween scares! Do they adore creepy movies and breeze through haunted houses, or are they more likely to scream at spiderwebs and hate jumpscares with a passion?

❀ Frightful Friends:
MYOs submitted on/before the last day of September can bond with monstrous/alien plants!
Ordinarily, Phytophantoms bond to ordinary plants... but something strange is stirring during spooky season~ This month, fantasy plants from alien worlds or mad scientists' labs are on the menu! Plants might grow tentacles, teeth, alien eyes, or some other manner of unnatural & monstrous form...
If you have an already-created Phantom and want to add or swap in this trait, you may submit an update adding this to their design! The deadline is for all timezones-- this MYO event ends when everywhere in the world has hit the 1st of next month. You don't have to add this trait to your MYO if you don't want to.

They're here~! This toothsome trio is open for $25 flat price each 🦷
Shark Bites [closed] Although a little rough around the edges (watch out for the prickles!), this sharp lad has a soothing voice and a heart as big as the ocean. Just look at that big toothy smile! |
Once Bitten, Twice Shy [closed] Life is often full of misfortunes for little rabbits, but death has been pretty nice so far! Jumpy old habits are hard to break, though-- this bunny tends to turn translucent when startled or shy. Be gentle with this skittish floral Phytophantom. :) |
Bite Me [open] Sometimes, your fervent dreams of becoming a vampire go a little bit... awry. But no matter! Bonding to a parasitic plant and haunting the night with theatrical flair is very, very nearly the same thing. ♡ Be wary of this Phantom’s dangerous touch... life-consuming roots might sprout forth! |
❀ Here comes a brand-new update~ ❀
Three new Phantoms have arrived in our latest bulletin~
🦈 Shark Bites | Once Bitten, Twice Shy | 🧛 Bite Me |
❀ September Prompt: Online Afterlife:
Does your Phantom like to hang out on social media sites or apps?
💬😎💓
What would your Phytophantom's social media look like?
You could draw them posting something, a post/photo/tutorial video/meme from them, a profile, their absolute refusal to learn how to use these dang newfangly TweetFaces & MyTubes, their best-ever profile picture, etc.! The media platform(s) you pick can be real or made-up.

❀ Petrified Petals:
MYOs submitted on/before the last day of September can have plants that have frozen or turned to stone!
These Phantoms must have an unnaturally strong will-- even though their plant has 'given up the ghost,' the ghost is not willing to give up the plant! Ordinarily a petrified or frozen plant without replacement would mean the end of a Phytophantom... but somehow, mysteriously, they linger on??
If you have an already-created Phantom and want to add or swap in this trait, you may submit an update adding this to their design! The deadline is for all timezones-- this MYO event ends when everywhere in the world has hit October 1st. You don't have to add this trait to your MYO if you don't want to.

❀ We're kicking off monthly art prompts:

Is your Phytophantom feeling the summer heat? Time for a cool drink!
🌊🌊🌊
How does your Phantom like to water their plant? Is it icy drinks, watering cans, swimming, rain, showers, sprinklers, waterslides? Or perhaps for desert plant types, they don't want much water?
Soak up that tasty water and show us in the comments below!
❀ Bites & Blooms:
MYOs submitted on/before June 30th can have teeth in/on their plants!
Whether it's toothy thorns, monstrous mouths, or biting buds, these Phantoms can be unnaturally nippy. Watch your fingers!

 | ❀ New Item: Charmed Water Elixir What an odd little bottle... We've tested it out This potion can do one of three things to your Phytophantom:
👀 I'm pretty sure I accidentally dropped a few of these bottles and they rolled onto a page in this Toyhouse world somewhere... If you can spot them, you're welcome to pick one up! |
This 'Items' page will be the 'about' page and item bank for all our upcoming new items~
❀ Guest Artists? Yes please!
