This was one crazy post to write!
One Year, My wonderful herd mates…it has been one crazy, wonderful, life changing year(Maybe a little dramatic but just role with it!). The MB came into my life in a really weird time of my life, some of you know some of the details but in short. I was in a very bad/weird place. I was just trying to make it to the next day, waiting for the light to come back. I was always a very happy, very positive, very bright person, and the fact that I was losing that part of myself for awhile there, was really hard for me and on me. I needed something; I just didn’t know what it was or how to go about finding it.
Turns out, I needed a herd. I needed friends…I needed something to look forward to. People who I got to know as my friends. I have learned that even when we disagree, we have always come back together as a herd. Friends. Even a sort of family. You guys are always here for me and for everyone else and for that, you should be proud of yourself.
In any family, we have of course had our tough time but hey! We made it through 2020! We can do anything! Booyah!! Take that world!!! Don't worry! I'm much much much better now!
I smile at the memories of the year, and am so thankful that I didn’t leave the MB!
OK…Here are some Firesong Highlights and odd happenings from the last year!!
1. I joined on October 20, 2020 but didn’t make my first comment until the 21! Why? Because I was scared!
2. The first person to welcome me was @Cinderfrost (Sunblaze)!! (HI CINDER!!) I was then assured that a few of you were weird and was laughing my flank off! (Thanks for the name compliments by the way! You guys are so nice!
3. I posted some art, you guys made me feel amazing! So I kept posting!
4. I joined about a billion challenges, and questioned my sanity later!
5. I won a challenge!
6. Kind of vanished through the rest of Oct, Nov, and December and then made an, “I thought I should Explain” post.
7. Stressed myself out…and seriously considered leaving the MB for good…never coming back…calling it quits.
8. A little time passes…and @Skysun pushes me to join an RP. Trapped in Peace!! (I was against joining RP’s at the time and told Sky when I first joined that I wouldn't ever join a RP, but Sky wore me down and I finally agreed.)
9. Cirusblaze was my first ever RP Character! I love/loved him so much! Thank you, little buddy!!
10. FLAMEBLAZE!!! Citrusblaze and Flamefeather were my first ever official ship! And I STILL smile at me and @Riverglade freaking out about it at a time when I was trying not to draw attention to myself as I am pretty sure many of my extended family were in the house (Hardcore Poker Face!!)
11. Citrusblaze was voted in (By you guys!) to lead the group. (I grew much more confident after that!) I know it sounds a little funny, but I am very thankful for that!
12. Cinderdummy!!! You Buttface!!
13. @Windfeather and I were talking and she convinced me to join DOTR(Darkness on the rise!) I thought I was going to flop and my character would die…That didn’t happen…
14. I am just going to label this part, even though it should be mixed into many other parts of the list…SAVTY MOMENTS! Like their first kiss…AHH!
15. The DOTR peoples took me in and the RP decided that San Braze had to die…and it really tired!
16. Many blurs after that! So flash info since I’m running out of time to write this!
17. Characters got married! SAVTY! SOVA! And many other!
18. Rubber duckies riding purple kangaroos!
19. Ahh! Many short storied written by many talented people! (You talented writers you!)
20. @Morningmist wrote a story on Fenn and Nova and wow! As well as loved Sash with her whole heart...
21. @Iceberry wrote a story on Ryndi…and I cried…she also made Ryndi to begin with! Thank you!
22. My funny bone was hit with a brick.
23. I found I am a lovely procrastinator!!
24. So many more! Mention any happy or weird memories you can think of!
And now thank you for all of the wonderful stories written by our wonderful authors! Thank you for all of the art made by our wonderful artists! Thank you for a wonderful year on the MB! I have seen many people come, and quite a few go, but we will always be a herd! I have seen people come on and not know how to draw, and then watched them grow as wonderful artists! We have talked about our dreams, our strange parents/family decisions, and our thoughts on life and our future.
Thank you Everyone I got to know and now love like a friend. Thank you everyone who taught me anything in the last year. Thank you everyone who joined later and let me help you(Even if I didn’t do a thing). And thank you all the people who complimented my art, my writing, and my RPing/RP Characters.
I love you all so much! Thank you once more my wonderful herd for a wonderful year and I look forward to the many more years to come!
Rubber ducks riding purple kangaroos?? Can I have an explanation please? also, happy one year anniversary!!
Tbh, this is kinda like how I joined. I was depressed as well, and joining this mb really helped. I'm glad it helped you as well!
Also, congrats on your one year anniversary!
(Have to say this, but am I the only one who thinks that since there aren't a ton of people, that makes us grow closer together as a herd? Since we only have a small number (Compared to other MBs) of active members, we all want to get to know each other.)
Happy Anniversary, and thank you! I have many more short stories planned to write! You always keep me on my toes with your ideas and plans, and it is always fun to try to crack them! The walls wish you well, and as we know, they know everything! XD
HAPPY PEGAVERSARY!!! Wow, I can't believe it's been a year already since you joined. Time flies. First time I talked to you was I think about a challenge? IDK MY MEMORY IS SHOT. (Oh, probably the "Hi!" post, duh *facepalms*) Anyway, now that the Brazes have become the center of the RP XD, I look forward to RPing more with you, getting into more friendly arguments and agreeing on Star Wars stuff, and staying good friends! (Even though we have had our differences lol)
THAT WAS SO LONG BUT HAPPY 1 YEAR ANIVERSRIAY
I COMPLESTLY FORGOT I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO WELCOME YOU XD
WE ARE SO GLAD YOU'VE JOINED AND STSYED WITH US :
Hey! Happy pegversary! (Sorry who ever used this first, I think Glade) I didn't read through it all bc it's so long and I'm super tired (Barely slept last night) But I can't believe it's been a year! Already! It's been a year and a month since I've joined. This place is so welcoming but I'm glad we have more ppl now!
Happy anniversary! Another good moment was when the brazes had their first babies and we became the very proud parents!
CONGRATS!!! I really appreciate you, Fire! you were one of the first to welcome me!!!
CONGRATS!!!!!!!! I had so much fun reading this, Trapped in Peace was an AWESOME RP, and the ship moments were so chaotic it was amazing. I honestly think it was my peak comedy moment XD shoot I gotta get bread out of the toaster so I gotta stop typing. I will return later!
CONGRATES! and wow this was long XD
