Explanations!

Hey guys, lol.
So I haven't been posting for the past few days. I just started school last Thursday. High school feels weird, just because I feel like I should still be in middle school. Every day after school I've been tired, though. I've gotten back into the whole school thing and we are getting into work now, too. I had a ton of homework yesterday, though. I haven't been posting because I'm adjusting to my school routine again. With high school, I have significantly less time. I plan on getting back on schedule again today.
Also, let's just say, the hallways at my high school are overcrowded. I'm not even going to get into that at all.
I have a few posts planned for soon. I'll also be posting again on the AJC starting Saturday, with more update posts. I look forward to writing again.

The Hot Cocoa Hut: Then And Now

Hey guys! It's pretty early in the morning. I'm only awake because I'm finally starting high school today. I'm a little bit nervous but not totally, lol.
For this post I want to discuss the Hot Cocoa Hut, so let's get into that.
Over the years, The Hot Cocoa Hut in Mt. Shiveer has actually changed. A lot of people don't usually visit this place or go there often, so why not make a post about it? So, here is what the Hot Cocoa Hut used to look like.

Then, some time ago, it was expanded.

The roof area was added on. Also, there was a new face expanded on what seems like a tiki. There are also colorful squares (honestly, don't judge me for my description) in the top right corner.
I find it interesting how AJHQ decides to update rooms like this when they want to. Based on this, I can believe that there are other places that had a small renovation and we don't even know about it. After all, a lot of people would never even realize the details that changed in the Hot Cocoa Hut.
I have to go now, but I might be posting later. I'll tell you guys how my first day went. Until then, though, goodbye.

Thoughts On The Animal Jam Scamming Community - The Disturbing Part of AJ

This post here... is gonna discuss the disturbing part of AJ! So grab some popcorn and enjoy.
So, I don't know if you all figured it out yet, but there's actually a scamming community on AJ. It's almost like the dark web of AJ or something. If you watch a lot of AJ videos on youtube, you'll probably eventually see one of the scamming videos in the sidebar. Especially if you watch videos about rares. If you don't believe me that there's a whole community for scamming, just search up "animal jam scam".
What do these people do, though? They literally record themselves scamming people on the game and taking their rare items away. I've watched a few of their videos now to really know how they do their "work". They make themselves sound very, very convincing. In every video, they're always doing trust trades. They'll say a few rules to make it more civil. Then they'll state that you can decline the trust trade, but accepting is worth more for the "less rare people", just so it isn't unfair. That's pretty much how they scam, based on what I've seen.
Here's a disclaimer: don't ever participate in a trust contest, or anything that would put your items on the line. That's how you don't get scammed.
Now, here comes the worst part to talk about. These scammers are actually convincing other people that it is okay to scam. They say that "it's just pixels", "it's just a kid's game", and stuff like that. But their biggest message, based on the videos I've seen from them is that scamming teaches kids to not fall for tricks. What can I say about this? It is complete and utterly wrong. These people are scamming kids for the entertainment, feeling, and excitement, pretty much. That's at least according to what they've all stated in their videos. This is so wrong, though. Any type of scamming is. I know that all of the scammers believe in what they do. However, this is one situation where I don't think just any opinion should be true. Scamming actually hurts people's feelings that have worked for certain items over time. Imagine in real life, if you did chores daily, or had a job. You might save up for something expensive. Maybe even a car. Or you could even put away the money for college tuition. However, what if all of that was taken from you, in an instant? That's how a lot of people feel on AJ. Even though these items are just pixels, they have value. Items can be hard to work for.
Also, all of these people keep saying that kids will learn their lesson, and that they have the right to scam because it's just a kid's game. First of all, kids might learn a lesson from scamming, but this is still the most horrible way to teach them that. And everyone scamming should not just be doing it because it's a kid's game. Scamming is actually a terrible hobby that can lead to things much worse, like criminal activity. You never really know when you learn that the feeling of scamming is good. Imagine what that could lead to in the future, and the people scamming probably don't even think about this, or would deny it.
To sum it up, here's a very reasonable and thorough video made by Flooflies AJ.

So yeah, that's my little rant on the scamming commnity of AJ. Tell me what you guys think below.

Blog Updated

Hey guys!
As you can tell, I just updated this blog. It's still in the process of being finished, though, because it looks a little dull. I hope you do like it, though. Also, there have been new graphics added to the side (which will lead to informative posts about AJ that I'm still working on). These graphics come from awesomepanda868, and old friend of mine, and all the credit goes to her blog and the people who created graphics over there! I am horrible at making grapics, so I had to use someone else's, lol.
So yeah, this blog is still in progress as of now. I have more posts to write, though, and they'll be published soon. Until then, goodbye.

Animals of AJ

(100% True) Aldan Stereotypes

Hi people. For this post, I'm going to be showing you the true stereotypes of people in Aldan.
I've been spending a lot of time trading lately, with the post series for trading, and also just for fun. So, based on that, I think I have a pretty good idea on all the stereotypes. Let's begin.

The Rare Arctic Wolf

This is the most common stereotype of all. Literally, most people in Aldan are Arctic Wolves with spikes and headdresses. This is especially true or the Aldan in Wootmoo's server.

The Masterpiece Person That Displays Their Thoughts

(Yes, that masterpiece is horrible quality, but don't judge me, lol) These people always have masterpieces on trade that state their "rules". And every masterpiece is somewhat similar to what I drew above. People act like they themselves are their own store with policies.

Aldan Usernames
This one doesn't need a picture, because I can just tell you. Almost all Aldan usernames are single words that are random and probably don't relate to AJ at all, like...
- Electricity
- Thunder
- Secrets

I think you get what I mean. Also, a ton of these usernames have weird symbols in them, which was a glitch you could do a while ago.

Aldan Statements

Okay, there's not stopping this. Even I do it. But it's so repetitive. Everyone uses the classic "my list for... jag if deal..." saying. Oh well.

Aldan Lands/Rooms

So, here are all of the places in Aldan, in order from rarest jammer population to least rarest jammer population. Lands/rooms that don't have traders aren't included.

1. Brady's Lab, Wootmoo's Aldan server
2. Wootmoo's den
3. Coral Canyons
4. Lost Temple of Zios
5. Crystal Sands
6. Jamaa Township

Trust me, if you go to Brady's Lab in the trading server, you'll find like 10 black longs worth on almost everyone's list. These are the land stereotypes, though.

The Super Rare Non-Member

(Yes, this is my storage account, and it fits to this stereotype. Don't judge me) There are a lot of non members that display extreme rares on their trade list. They do it because it makes them more cool, as it is harder to get rare as a NM. A lot of them are storage accounts like mine, though, and have the single word username. 

Anyways, those are all of the stereotypes I can think of right now. Comment if I missed any. I'll be making more posts soon, so stick around.

Dark Night Thoughts

It's currently (almost) midnight, and I have a bunch of random, nighttime thoughts to share. Why? I don't know. They're just on mind.
Anyways...

Think about AJ friends, but all in person. That's really weird. Now imagine everyone on AJ, but in person. That's a vast amount of people.

There are so, so, so many people in the world. Too many. There's even a lot on AJ.

If you think about it, on average, people that play Animal Jam truly are smarter than most other kids/teens.

These are random and this is short, but what do you all think about them?

Update On Juno

Hey guys.
I feel the need to make this post, all of a sudden.
I've been thinking that we really, really need to move on from the whole Juno thing. This is causing so much trouble in the Blogger community. We need to forget about it all and stop carrying on the argument. Comments upon posts upon comments upon posts.
To be honest, my opinion is changing on the topic. Even though I have separate beliefs IRL than the LGBT community, I don't think it's that big of a deal anymore.
Little kids simply won't understand the topic. They will probably not get the reference at all.
So, based on this, I truly don't think Juno being non binary is a big deal anymore. I've been having these thoughts just today. We really need to move on, guys. You are all great people, and this drama would be better off a a story from the past.

Nothing To Headdress Challenge - Part 4

Welcome back to the next part of the Nothing To Headdress Challenge!
I haven't been doing this as much lately, just because of my laziness. But I'm back with another part, and I just traded the orange long wrist for a very good variety of clothing betas.

Honestly, this was a great deal! All together, these items are worth 5-6 den betas! I'll see if I can trade this for a short collar now.
I just succeeded in the goal for this part already! I actually just traded that list of items, and the brown beard I had, for a decent short collar.

I'm going to end this part with the pink short collar and a sewing machine as my two main items. I can't believe how good of a trade I got today. It will definitely help. Anyways, that's all for this part, and I'll see you in my next post.

The Lore Is Overused in 2018 (Mini Rant)

Hello, lol.
I've been thinking, especially after reading some comments, that AJ is over doing it with the lore lately. It's Juno this, Juno that, Balloosh this, the Phantoms that, the lands this, and all of that. I think you know what I mean. All AJHQ is doing every update is hinting at a new animal, making new wild weekend items, and coming up with new lore. The lore is interesting once in a while, but not, literally, every update! Couldn't we get something else? Switch it up, AJHQ.
I realized this after reading some comments from Violet, so I know I'm not the only one. Do you agree?

Conclusion Of The Juno Updates?

Hey guys. Today, a new update was released, so let's get right into seeing what there is.

We have yet another wild weekend. I do like the idea of prank items, especially because they'll all have animations with them, like the Jar of Peanuts. When you click on the jar of peanuts, stuff (I don't know what to call it, lol) pops out. This picture was extremely hard to get, but yeah, you can see the "stuff" popping out.

It reminds me of that one episode of Spongebob where Patrick falls for a can of Seanut Brittle...

Funny reference? No? Alright, I'll move on.
It seems like the updates involving Juno might be coming to an end now. In the update, it is stated that Juno sacrificed themself to protect Balloosh from phantoms. Apparently, Juno used their power to seal it off and become a lifelike statue that would protect the land. Here is the message let by Juno, now decoded:

So that explains the statue. There are still more questions I have, but I don't feel like they are really relevant enough. Adding on to the story, there are two new notes left by Greely and Peck in the Temple of the Ancients.

Do you guys think this is the end of the Juno updates? It seems like to me, but it just doesn't feel right. I don't know if it's the lack of excitement involving these updates, or what. It kinda just seems like it all lead up to a lame ending, with Juno being sacrificed (lore) and AJHQ telling us that there will be new items coming out in the Temple of the Ancients. Speaking of that, there is a new shop with new items now, too. It is located in the upper left part of the Temple of the Ancients.

I don't know what to think of this update yet. Let me see what you all think about it. That's the end of this post, though, and I'll be back soon.

Alpha Training

Hello Jamaasians, and welcome back to the Ellen Show!
That's a reference to another old cringey video I made (at least, that's what I think it was lol). Anyways, I just saw something cool that should be added to AJ. It comes from a video by TheDarkArrow. The video is humorous, but the idea is really intriguing.

Alpha training sounds really cool. What if a new alpha really was needed? The idea of competing against other people to level up and become the new alpha sounds fun. In the video, there are 1v1 battles between people (which would most likely be adventure challenges or stuff like that), and 2v2 adventures. This would be fun and make the game more interesting to play. It could also add a lot to the lore.
That's just another idea that I have to post about. If you mention it, the idea did come from TheDarkArrow's video. I really think this should be added. What do you think?

My Opinion On Juno

I've finally decided to make this post. Everyone's been talking about it and it's the main topic in the blogging community currently; Juno.
You actually don't understand how hard it is to make this post. I actually tried to make it days ago, but deleted it. It didn't sound right.
Anyways, let's just get into the topic. Juno is not like the other alphas. Juno is a member of the LGBT community. That's why Juno has been referred to as "they" and "them".
Now that I've explained that, here's a disclaimer. I am making this post to connect with all other bloggers in the community, no matter what your opinion is. I respect all opinions. Everyone has a right to one. Also, I do not hate LGBT people or disrespect them, nor do I hate the people who dislike them.
I don't personally believe in these kind of things. I was raised to believe in God and his ways. This is just how I am. But also, I do not interfere with what LGBT people do. They can do what they want, because, after all, it is their life. If that's truly what they choose, I'm not going to stop them. I just don't agree with that. Let me tell you this, too. A lot of you know my mom raised me herself, but her best friend helped. Her best friend is a lesbian woman. So I guess you could say one of the LGBT people have had a positive influence on my life so far. She's a great person and I love them a lot! This is all pretty much saying that despite the fact I don't believe in the things LGBT people do, I still value them when they are friends, just like anyone else. They shouldn't be treated any differently. I don't agree with what they do, but it is their choice. I will fully support/stick around these people and love them if they are my friend!
So that's my opinion. I hope you like it, lol. Now this moves on to the tricky part.
AJHQ made a risky move by making Juno non binary. This is where a lot of people parted ways in the debate. It's either support AJHQ making an alpha non binary, or not support them. I'm not supporting it, to be honest. I'm not saying I would protest against making a character non binary in a game, though. I'm saying that you shouldn't make a character non binary in a kid's game. Kids may want to become non binary (or anything like that) at a young, but they really shouldn't determine that so young. They are kids, and don't have fully developed brains yet. They don't probably understand it fully yet. Honestly, the whole LGBT debate is deep. Really, really deep. You know why? Because there are so, so many answers, questions, and all that. It's almost like a paradox. There is truly no wrong or right answer in these situations, just like a lot of politics. It can be extremely difficult to determine a solution in modern politics. The LGBT debate is one of many thoughtful debates. One of thousands, probably. The world is huge and full of controversy. Why should kids be introduced to that? All of the debates are probably too confusing and they wouldn't even understand it fully. As lostfairy said, this is kinda forcing a ton of information towards kids. Then they might ask parents questions, learn about the world itself, and all that. I don't really think they should do that, because, after all, they're kids. Enjoy yourself and don't think about the confusing world yet. It can be harsh at times, and getting into the debate itself at a young age without proper understanding could lead to that harshness.
Okay, I feel better about this now. I hope you all understand. I've written this pretty fast. Hopefully it was worded the way I exactly wanted it to be. It'll probably have mistakes. But yeah, comment your opinion below! I will be open to discussing this topic more in the comments. Everyone can have an opinion, no matter what.
Now, I am going to publish this...

*Edit: Based on a comment, I have to say that I am fine with these people and accept them. They should always know they are not alone in their life. It'd be much better to learn this IRL, in my opinion.

Juno...

Should I do this lol? Everyone else is. Should I get my opinion out?

I'll delete this later but comment what I should do.

Boat Travel For AJ

Hellllloooooo Jammers. (Is that better? The hello was no regular hello, lol)

I have a really cool idea, at least in my opinion. So, if you look at the world map, you'll realize that Jamaa is connected by many rivers.

These rivers basically have no point in the game, however. But what if they did? My idea for a cool new feature that could be added into AJ is boat travel. Now, I know nobody travels across lands to get places, they simply use the map. Boat travel, though, could be kind of like that one old AJ intro on the Blue Heron. It would take you different places in Jamaa by boat. The boat would travel through rivers. There could be a whole journey book for it, a shop, mini games, and maybe even multiple rooms on the boat. I picture it like a train station, where you'd have to wait every few minutes to board a boat. Then there would be certain places you could stop (each land) and get off whenever you want. I actually think this would be really cool.

What do you think about my idea? There's a lot more I've talked about to. I just wish AJHQ would truly read our blogs more, because we put effort into these types of posts. Anyways, that's the end of this post.

Animal Jam Easter Eggs That You Might've Missed

Hey people/Jammers/whatever.

I hate intros by now. They're so repetitive! I just can't think of anything creative, though, so I'm stuck with the regulars for now.

This post is about a few AJ easter eggs you might've missed. I've actually mentioned the first one in the past, but it's still cool.  In the game Mira Says, there are four colors you can press.

The word says has the four colors. Well, in the Sky Kingdom den, there are also four familiar colors surrounding the Mira statue in the center of the den.

This is a cool easter egg, but I do have a few questions. Is it just a reference to the game Mira Says, or are these colors going to play an important role with the lore of Mira any time in the future?

Moving on. The next two easter eggs are located in Balloosh. The first is a simple feature you probably looked over.

The shop is selling sea shells (say that fast, 5 times in a row, I dare you) and that's a little odd. Why would a swamp be selling those? There might be other items in there, but I can't figure out what they are.

The last easter egg of this post could lead to new theories.

In the upper right corner of Balloosh, it seems that there is a small river leading out. On the world map, this is proven, as it appears on it. I don't know if this is the same river, or if this is even truly a river leading away, but what do you think? It's clearly an opening in the trees.

That's all I have for this post (that's also a stereotypical ending, but I can't help it lol). I'll see you in the next post!

I'm Uploading Youtube Videos Again?

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while. Yep, start uploading youtube videos again. I just uploaded an experiment video, with no real reason. Check it out if you want, my channel is PenguinBoss AJ.

Just Something To Think About

Hey people.
I don't know how many of you play sports or consider yourself an athlete, but this story is related to that kind of stuff.
Anyways, about 2 weeks ago, I was practicing basketball at a park. I went for a layup and jumped the wrong way. You see, in jumping, there's a penultimate step, the step you take right before jumping off the ground. I was trying to get the ball as high as I could for a dunk (and to be honest I was close lol), but I twisted my (insert unknown body part name here) on the penultimate step. I landed on my other foot because my left lower calf was in pain. It wasn't my ankle, no, it was on the side side but a little higher. I have no idea, but I might've injured a tendon. I'm not sure. Then, this Friday, I was playing pickup basketball with a bunch of others at Boys and Girls club. I once again did a layup off that leg and it hurt instantly. This stuff is really, really scary to me. It's not hurting as bad today but I'e been resting it for a little while now. I really want to keep getting on the court to play, but I was even told to rest it for a week or two. I absolutely hate taking time off. The point is, the injury I got was really close to my Achilles tendon, and that's not something that would've been good. I'm gonna keep playing tomorrow, but take each practice light for a few days. Just don't take things for granted, especially athletes. When you train hard everyday seeking a goal in the future, it doesn't seem like anything could prevent you from reaching it. It could all be taken away in a second by some injury, all the hard work and everything. I just really needed to get this off my chest because it was in my mind. It is necessary for everyone to know this, because basketball is not the only thing that can be taken away, it can be anything else you take for granted.
I hope you all understand. And now, I am really going to a birthday party, unlike my lie in the last post's ending.

The Schoolhouse Party

Back to school.
The three words that frighten children's lives across the world in the months of July-September, and possibly other months for certain people. But that's not the point. The words are scary, right? Yeah. And that means AJHQ will use them in their game!
So the Schoolhouse party returned, and I just happened to take a few screenshots of some intense roleplay going on.

Super intense, right? (Just kidding, guys.) Well, that's what goes on at the schoolhouse party, if you wanted to know.
To wrap up this post, though, I'm going to show you all of the available items at the Schoolhouse party.

That is all there is to show about the Schoolhouse party. Besides that, it's just a reminder that school is coming soon.
So, since that's all, I'm leaving now! I'm off to a birthday party... yep...
Bye.

Wild Weekend Item Review and Juno Theories

Yo yo yo it's your boy...

Hmm. I don't know if that's right yet. But I don't think so. Who cares, though? The intro is still a working progress.

Anyways, all of my posts from now on will be about things that I want to discuss or interesting topics involving Animal Jam. Also, I might start posting other things about my life, too. This post is about the Wild Weekend items and some theories on Juno.
I want to say this about the waterpark items. They're cool and might even be worth something one day, but why did AJHQ have to make it so the Corner Waterslides don't even flip sides? If you click the rotate button, the slide literally flips the colors, not the side the slide is on.

That doesn't make any sense at all, lol.

Now, onto some theories about Juno. Everyone's been talking about "this" alpha by saying it is nonbinary. Some reasons that this is a theory are:

- Juno could be a name for both genders.
- In the Jamaa Journal, Juno is referred to as "them", and a few other words that don't reveal a gender.
- In the picture of Juno, it doesn't seem to be more correlated to a boy or girl.

So, I'd just like to share some of this information, because my view on Juno during the update was different. I didn't even realize AJ was referring to Juno when saying "them", so now there are new ideas going through my mind.

This is the end of the post now, and I hope you all enjoyed! I'll digitally see you in my next post.

Why I Am Getting Back Into Blogging

The title says it all.

Everyone lately has been talking about the thought of quitting blogs and AJ, but nobody has done it completely. So many of my friends have lost interest in this game this year and have decided to not post nearly as much. I could never comment on blogs because of a certain glitch that was never fixed, but I was really sad when I saw that Nafaria9 decided to make the "update" post. I know she's not quitting, but I also know that I won't be seeing her posts like I did years ago. And to be honest, The Animal Jam Whip was my main inspiration to start my own blog back in 2014. I just hope you know, Nafaria, that I'll always be willing to talk on instagram and snapchat. I don't currently have a console but I might be getting one soon. 

Other people, too, have lost interest in Animal Jam. Pretty much everyone. Honestly, how many people post regularly on their blogs anymore? Not a lot. Not a lot at all. It's just sad to see the Blogger Community slowly losing people. And guess what? It's the same thing with the Youtube community. Views are going down and youtubers are posting less and less content about AJ. I asked random people in Aldan what they thought about this and they were completely oblivious to it. They acted like everything I said was not a reasonable point to prove that Animal Jam is not what it once was. The game is really losing its older members. But is it making way for a newer generation? I don't know. 

My buddies have really impacted me over the years on this game. When awesomepanda868 quit in 2017, that also devastated me. I couldn't even comment, but I hope all bloggers reading this know that I am reading posts daily and have thoughts about them. In December of 2017, purplestarclub quit. I hated this also, just like when Panda quit. It was sad to see some of my oldest friends go. Just recently, everyone has been posting rants on the AJ game. Sarahkey8, who is an author on The Animal Jam Community (which I will start posting on again), just made a post about what she feels. And it's all true. People are losing interest in AJ. It's sad to see her say all of this, but also must be relieving for her to say. Lostfairy of the AJ Jumble just made a post about her losing interest in the game as well. She stated that her blog has been dead. Lostfairy is a great buddy and I admire how her posts are so well thought out, and how she puts so much effort into them. I also respect what she said in this post, because it's relatable to pretty much every AJ blogger right now. It's also sad to see that post on her blog. People, like me, are simply losing interest in Animal Jam. 

Animal Jam used to be fun. I remember logging on, looking for buddies online, going to their den, and having long conversations. There were a lot of people I met that became amazing friends, some not even through blogger. Some of the people I haven't mentioned yet are sixty58 (I have so many memories with her!), lilkinzie (she has supported me throughout my blogging years and is always kind!), meeper2 (another supporter of my blog and someone that will help you when in need), cyacheer (a selfless person who is absolutely amazing at art), koolestkat (another kind and caring friend), tig47498 (yet another nice person who was willing to help), tigers123g (tigers made a a lot of memories with me and they were super nice),  2fangwolf (a great blogger and role model for others), arcticstar8404 (a super kind person and someone who I looked up to around the time I started blogging), cheetah87516 (great at graphics and a nice person), and ja983 (a really great blogger who has great ideas and is a great buddy). There are still more people but so many to list, and that paragraph was written fast but thought out well. These are all amazing people and have really shown that the AJ blogger community is one of the best communities out there. 

Swirlshine, another amazing buddy of mine, still posts, and that's cool. She also puts a ton of effort into her posts and it really shows. Her posts are also unique. Violet86271, owner of The Animal Jam Legendary Palooza, also still posts, and she's  a really great friend of mine that I've known for years. The AJ Blogger Community is not dead. There are still people who post. There are also a lot of newer bloggers who I haven't met/don't know well because I haven't been active in the community this year at all. Props to you guys for still posting, though! I hope to get more connected to you guys and become great friends.

Not a lot of Bloggers have truly quit the game or blogger itself, but they have lost interest and decided to not post as much. That's what most people are doing now. As of now, though, I'm deciding to full on start posting again. I'll get into the reason why soon.

One of my best friends on AJ, who is also probably one of my oldest buddies I've recently talked to, is talking with me again. Her username on AJ is carrot04. She used to run a blog called Animal Jam Lights The Way, around 2014-2015. I've had a lot of AJ memories with this person, from The Phantom Grill (insert overused lol here), to The Voice AJ (including other buddies in that, too!), and many others. I can't list them all. She really made an impact on my life, along with all of my other buddies. I'm finally in touch with Carrot again after a while, and this made me realize something. I should continue posting as much as I want to, because, honestly, you never, ever know what will happen in the future. Big things could happen. I don't want to stop posting regularly like I did earlier this year, because I want to stay around for a long time. When I first started the AJS, I wanted to become famous and become a well known blogger. That's not my focus anymore, though. I want to now use this blog to stay in touch, post about interesting AJ topics, and to stick around for the future. I don't want to stop posting or go on a hiatus, at least not for a while. I've had so many memories from this game and I can still manage to take the 1% of it that is interesting and remain an active player/blogger because of that.

So yeah, to wrap things up, you can expect more posts from me. This post started off seeming like a quitting one, but all of the stuff lead up to the end. I will continue posting because I don't know what will happen in the future. Good things, bad things, you never really know. Bad things have happened already, but there will also be many, many more good things to happen. Also, forgive me for the horrible grammar and misspelling in this post, because I do not feel like going back and editing this. That would take forever and it wouldn't be the point of the post. Now I am going to publish this and pray to god that it was written the way I truly wanted it to be, (insert another overused lol here).

Well, I guess I'll see you in my next post, lol. 

The Juno Update

I really don't know what to use for intros to posts anymore. I hate saying "hi jammers" or "hey guys" because, well, I'm just not that type of person anymore (insert lol here). I'll have to think of something creative every post from now on.
Now, AJ was literally just updated minutes ago. And this post is here to explain to you my thoughts on the update.

Everything in this update, except or the part about Juno, was pretty much expected. I do like that Tiki Trouble has returned, though.
Now, the part about Juno is interesting. It states that Juno "protected the lands of Jamaa" and asks "what became of them". By this, there's two possibilities: Juno is just protecting our known Jamaa itself (the lands we can visit), or the actual world of Jamaa, with many other lands out there. Then it asks what became of the lands. I'm sure they aren't talking about the accessible ones, because we already know that. So, based on this, hopefully this is leading to something new, maybe even a new land. What do you think?
To go along with this update, there are now two new notes in the Temple of the Ancients.

I don't really know what these notes could mean, but obviously, something is going to happen with that statue itself. We'll probably get more info in the next update.
I'm going to end this post now, but expect another one (maybe) today. It's going to be an announcement type post. I'll see you then.

Nothing To Headdress Challenge - Part 3

(insert really stupid awkward weird intro here)
And we're off! This is part 3 of the Nothing to Headdress Challenge. Let's get right into the first trade.

I just was in Aldan and managed to finally, after a long time, trade the nerd glasses and rare sun hat for a long spiked wristband.

Now my goal is to get 4 den betas for this wrist, or something like that.

Okay, so I've been watching a lot of videos lately... and I think this would be much easier if I played adventures and bought items. Yeah, this is a trading thing, but honestly, nobody just trades to work towards an item. So starting in this part, I'll be playing adventures to get more items.
Now, I've been working towards getting a bunch of items lately. And here's m inventory now:

I haven't been on as much for the past two days so it's been taking longer to upgrade to better items.
So, from now on, my plan is to start trading all of these smaller items and start collecting more den betas. They're pretty much the basis of rarity these days. If I can get at least two more, I can trade them and the long wrist for a short collar. Before I end this part, I plan to at last get a clothing/den beta.
I just traded 11 of the items for a clothing beta; a brown beard. This is my clothing inventory now:

At this point, I managed to win a giveaway by onacat, who gave me many, many RIMs. A huge shout out goes to this person and I've already made a post about it. Once again, thanks!
Just today, I traded 20 RIMs for a den beta.

Now, these are my main items up for trade!

I am getting really close to my first spiked collar on this account. Hopefully in Part 4 I'll be able to get a bad short collar.
Anyways, that's gonna conclude this part of the series. I hope you enjoyed, because I've actually been putting in a lot of work to this lol. And it's now August 1st, which means I'm starting my freshmen year this month. Weird to think about. I'm ending this now, so... I'll stop being cringey.

No, I hate that outro. It feels off to me. Here's a better one: bye, lol.
