AJGC Author!

I have to make this post really quick. I am officially an author for the Animal Jam Graphic Central! You will find me most active there! If I am inactive here, don't worry, I haven't quit blogging. I assure you that 'Betrayal' will be constantly updated but I am going on a 1 week hiatus.
Don't worry, I just want to pay attention to the Animal Jam Graphic Central mostly because it's my first week and I want to make a good first impression!

You can visit the AJGC here. Anyway, I'll be sure to talk to you guys a ton after this 1 week break!

See you in one week!

Animal Jam POEMS!

Hey Jammers!

I was recently reading about some Phantom lore/Jamaa lore, and it's poetic vibe inspired me to make my own AJ-related poems!

Poem #1: Phantoms
You coil your ruthless tentacles around me,
Wrapping me in electric waves.
I try to escape your grasp but I stop trying.
Your black pupils look like mesmerizing caves.

You slither and hiss,
Voice thick as gasoline.
In the middle it's an oily kiss,
But on the edges it's fire and my fur coat is no longer clean.

(Sorry, the ending to that one was horrible!)

Poem #2: Chamber Of Knowledge
I slip past the door,
My paws barely touching the cold tile floor.
Bottles and jewels glint with mystery,
Each giving me a slice of Jamaa's history.

I walk into the second room,
Ornate boxes sparkle, they resemble a tomb.
A tapestry of Mira is woven above, 
The calm work of art makes her look not like a heron but a dove.

Poem #3: Chomper Plants
Your edges are sharp and keen.
Around you, the Phantoms must stay away,
To avoid being seen.

You aren't playing a game where you chomp up a fly,
This is a game where you devour the enemy.
Your simple, gentle snapping is your merciless cry.

Alright, well that's all for right now! I'll see you guys later!

Animal Jam Beta Blog!

Hey Jammers!

Recently I was looking through a couple of recommended AJ blogs, and I came across this blog from the beta days! It's so beta that the most RECENT post is from March 2012! I know it's sad to think that the blog is now un-active, but it is a precious part of Animal Jam history! This blog is PACKED with info from the point of view from an actual beta player, even though the beta days were in 2010 when Animal Jam was launched.
The blog actually doesn't have a specific name, but click here to access it.
The first ever post is this one. It was published in August 2011.
Anyway, you may be wondering: "What makes this blog so special? There are dozens of AJ blogs that have TONS of info on the beta days."
Well, what makes this blog so special is that it isn't that stereotypical blog that provides facts about the beta days literally copy and pasted from other sites *cough* me *cough* but it is actually written from the point of view of someone who experienced it themselves.

Sorry for the short post. Expect more fanfictions and perhaps a few new pages in the next couple days...

Jamaa Happenings!

Hey everyone! Today I welcome you to a random post. You can expect a long episode of 'Betrayal' because lately I've been lazy and episodes have been quite short!
These posts might fall into a rather unorganized series, but anyway, even though big updates are clearly stated in the Jamaa Journal every other Thursday, there are a few updates that go unnoticed. Here you can find info on things that are new in AJ you might've missed!

Atlantis Party Return

For awhile now, Jammers were not able to visit the Atlantis Party, the only underwater party in Jamaa. Now it's back. Unlike the return of the Cruise Ship Party, the return was not celebrated. It mysteriously disappeared, unnoticed, like the Monkey's Only Party. I randomly logged on today and saw this: 

I like the Atlantis Party a lot, because it has a mystical, magical vibe and seems so serene. I also miss the Monkey's Only Party. Monkeys aren't exactly my favorite Animal Jam animal, but the party was amazing! Giant trees, lively music, and bananas galore! It was great. Actually, here are the statistics on which parties are currently active in Jamaa:

I am also excited for the Heatwave party to arrive. I personally like it better than the Cruise Ship Party. Oh, there's just so many parties I cannot bear to not celebrate!

My eyeball-less narwhal dolphin enjoys fancy seating.

Wow, that was cheesy. Anyway, here are some artsy little screenshots straight from the Atlantis Party!

Remember the whirlpools? These are in Adventures as well!

In this image, I am hiding with my new starfish boyfriend from the evil squad of yellow fish.

Well, that's all for this post, but I'll see ya'll later!

(ugh i'm sorry about the major cringes you just experienced)

AJC NEWS 3!

Sorry I've been so inactive...a lot of stuff has popped up about one of my recent edits. I'll explain later in the post!

Over the weekend I haven't been able to post! I had some sports, family events, etc. and I've been doing a few small projects for the Animal Jam Graphic Central!

I'll try to release a new fanfiction today PLUS an episode of Betrayal. I don't want to disappoint you guys!

Anyway, I have quite the edit to add to the 'Animal Jam Edits' page. Today I made an edit that looks like this:

If you are an avid Aparrian, you might've already seen this edit. Today, Aparri saw my edit on my Instagram page and made a video about it! You can watch the video here! Aparri actually added on to the idea with a pretty creative point of view. I'm sorry to brag, I just wanted to let you guys know :)

Also, if you are active on this blog, please comment below ^-^
