I had a Webkinz dream
I was attending an official webkinz event-inside just one room in my house. I was also one of only two adults attending, with the handful of other people present all being literal toddlers. (who I don't think have ever been the main demographic) One the wall was a giant, wheel of wow-style wheel, all in yellow. It spun, and landed on barney the dinosaur, and we all got free webkinz, but when I went to go add my new pet, i discovered that Barney had been added to my account automatically, and when you selected Barney, the aesthetic of the game shifted from webkinz to 90's barney-admittedly not the largest shift-and also every other animal in the game had updated art to make them look like they were puppets-in the same way barney is physical walk-around character. Also, every time you went to a screen you hadn't seen while playing as barney, you got an unskippiable voice clip where he explained what every single thing on the screen did. every element lit up in a yellow outline as he spoke, and he explained it as though you were a very small child. But, there was a way to go back. simply go back to the pet selection screen, choose a different pet, and it was all back to normal. at least until you selected barney again.
My dream kept going after that, but it stops having anything to do with webkinz, so i'll stop there and ask-how do you think you would react to such a reveal?
