Yess! A new post, AND the title reveal is sooo close, I honestly can not wait!!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello?

We've only just begun to live,
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way.
We've just begun.

Before the rising sun we fly,
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run.
And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,
Watching the signs along the way,
Talking it over just the two of us,
Working together day to day
Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow,
And yes, We've just begun.

Another couple of sayings

That are more likely to make you smile


Sometimes you need to pee in the sink



People ask is the pope catholic?

And does the bear shit in the woods?

I say they're wrong for the answer is

The bear is catholic

And the pope shits in the woods

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Jaimie.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Wait... are you Jaimie?

:/)

I'm sorry. :c)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I saw the video. I'm not quite sure it applies to Blogland, though.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*frowns at 'A Person with things to say'*

Cause that's not confusing in the least.

Danni please elaborate on how the New generation have hurt Zafira.
Are we not pleasant?
Don't we say hello to her nearly every time, only to get silence as a reply often?
We don't argue with her unless she starts insulting someone or hurting others feelings.
As far as I can see the new generation haven't done anything to hurt Zafira.
You're welcome to shed some light on the situation though.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello, Jaimie.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hello Kasumi.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

...

You never call me that...

I'm sorry, Jaimie.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Mhmm. Why wouldn't you be.

How are you?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Shitty. Regretful.

How are you?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Well Rose, I always spoke to her and she was insisting that people weren't saying hi to her and I gave up.

*Hugs Kassy tightly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*looks at Gem*

Hi. How are you, Gem?

(I appear to be in a bitchy mood.
Possibly due to sleep deprivation but then again I hate it when people blame bad moods on sleep deprivation so I'm hardly going to allow myself to do so.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(We ignored her??
Countless times I have greater her and paid attention to her, replied to her comments and countless times she's ignored said comments and complained that we were ignoring her when we've replied!!!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Danni! :S

(I only blame my bad mood on myself. You should blame it on me too.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(**greeted not greater.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Yep. Okay. Leaving before this continues.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

...

Just... *hugs Jaimie tightly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Happy Blogversary, Hope!

*leaves a warm hug for her*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

Liliana: I suppose you are correct.

Claire: *she frowns* Please put me down...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Sophia.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Tia.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Okay. I've had a shower, I smell like honey, I've calmed down a decentish amount. If I get stressed, I'll smell my skin.)

Onwa: Lorelei, if you see the girl again, call for the assassins understood?


*puts Claire down*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Ok bitch Face.
I'm one of the oldest people on the blog too. I'm older than you and zafira I'm petty sure. So don't give me your "I'm older on the blog than you" crap.

Therefore, you and Zafira are the ones at fault because you're younger than me. Don't talk shit.
It's not because you're "older" than us that we ignore her. We all pay great attention to Zafira, because she goes in a huff-puff when we don't.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello again, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)

Lorelei: Understood...

Claire: Thank you. Bethany, that's not how you make pancakes...

Bethany: I was making syrup.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles Soph tightly back*

Um.. hi gem.)


Onwa: Good. We're going to send you and Bobby back, okay?



Let her do it her way Claire.

Duck said...

Long ago, the people of Blogland lives in harmony,

Then, everything changed when the new people attacked (sorry to antagonise you)

Only the Duck, master of practically everything could save them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished.

A year and a half-ish past and...

Look, I'm not that great with analogies, but all the new people just misunderstood (like Zuko) and eventually harmony will come again!
It'll just take time is all.

I'm not someone to talk about serious things here, but I am now because I feel like I should.
I don't take Blogland seriously, I try to make as many jokes as I can, talk to people who have similar interests to me and occasionally do a little role playing.
All you fellas are in too deep.

If I comment and no one acknowledges me, I don't care. They're usually deep in a RP and are quickly tapping away at their computers to care about that duck that said hello.
Sometimes when I'm on and someones else comes along, I might not say hello. Maybe I just didn't realise or its their one-commenter or their name is too abstract to tell who it really is.

Blogland is meant to be a happy place! All this melancholy attitude is off-putting, that's why I haven't been around for a while.
May I just remind you that each and everyone of us are simply text that is written on a computer on the other side of the world. There is no need to dis-like several words on a screen.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but to sum up: STOP BLOODY FIGHTING!

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Sorry Duck.
I'm calm, I'm calm.

Currently, Sophia/Dragona is the oldest on the blog. The only oldie apart from me who comes on almost every day.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*sudden OMG I FEEL TALL MOMENT*)

Star Inkbright said...

Maybe I have a minor form of social anxiety that isn't major ebough to be Social Anxiety as well as a minor form of anxiety that isn't major enough to be Anxiety.
. . .
oh wait.
social anxiety is anxiety.
right.

Anyway. Authority figures keep making me cry when they notice me even when they're being nice when I'm not upset.
It's annoying and I don't know why it happens.

@everyone'sapparentlyhorribletozaf: I can't even answer. I'm far too biased, and when I look into the past I just see it through a mess of old Quality Street wrappers.
Please, don't ask me to judge whether I or anyone else is mean to Zaf or not. Just . . . I just run into a tangle of thornbrushes, that grew up there, and there'd no way to get through them without getting hurt.
Can we all not just continue onwards, being as nice to Zaf as we would to the next person?

I should also probably stop ignoring people. It's a bad habit of mine. It'd because I just appear to say one thing, and then only talk to people who respond to me . . .

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*frowns at wet hair*
*goes to steal mums hairdryer*)

Duck said...

To emphasise my point, I will not acknowledge any of you.


But that's because I'm going to bed...

. . . Danni?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I have actually not been here for a long time. Dragona, however, has.)

Lorelei: Yeah... Okay... I'm fine with that...

Claire: Okay.

Bethany: *she forms a bar of chocolate in her hands, starting to cut it into pieces, placing them in a bowl*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*mumbles about being forced to eat*)


Onwa: Good. Pick up the cat.


*nabs a piece of chocolate, eating it

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(You need to eat, Jaimie.)

Lorelei: Yes. *she picks up Bobby*

Bethany: That's for the chocolate spread...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I already HAD breakfast. I don't need a porkpie..)


Onwa: *teleports her back*


Mhmm.
*grins*
Tasty.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(That would be called lunch, Jaimie. That, too, is necessary.)

Liliana: I like her.

Bethany: *she gets a baking tray, covering with greaseproof paper* *she forms hazelnuts in her hands, placing them on the baking tray, before heating them with light until they are browned*

Star Inkbright said...

(What about plants? Aren't they living?
*isn't trying to nitpick; is just interested*
Or is it more conscious living?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(They are, Star. However, few foods made from plants require the plant itself to actually die.)

*that meant to rhyme*

*has to shower*
*be back later*
*maybe if it's not too late...*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(No. Lunch is not necessary. Lunch is too much. If I had a choice I'd have skipped breakfast and lunch, maybe had a small snack for brunch.)

Onwa: She is...intriguing.


*watches, smiling*

Lavender Hope said...

*forgot she changed her pic*
*looks at it and remembers how she used this one in the past*
...

*has to go*
*mentally pushes herself off the ipod*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Happy Blogversary, Hope! *huggles her tightly*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Happy blogaversary hope!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(And guess what we're having for tea?
McDonald's -_-
Yey.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Happy blogversary)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Sleepy..)

Lavender Hope said...

*starts to mumble, but stops quickly*
Never mind. Also, someone else is taking their shower now, so I guess I'm here for a little while longer.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles hope*)

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hellloooo!!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(hey Rhyd

Being dragged out bowling.)

Lavender Hope said...

*is cuddled, cuddles back*

RHYDIAN, YO.
*wonders since when did he have the last name Blake*
Guess I didn't notice....

Lavender Hope said...

Bowling is fun, but I'm not so great at it. :P

I hope you have fun, Sil.
*hugs*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

RHY!
*tacklehugs*
You're amazing...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: I wonder why she is able to move so quickly.

Bethany: *she gently places the hazelnuts in a towel, rubbing them a little before setting them by the side so they can cool* *she stirs the syrup gently*

Lavender Hope said...

This might be a late reply, so sorry for just now responding to it.
*hugs Kas back*

So how is everyone?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Bowling? Haven't done that in a while.

LAVENDER!!! Hey. I changed it recently. I keep changing my surname, waiting till I have a name I like 100 percent. So how are you?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Aww thanks Aria. The Rharia feels though lol.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

This. Is. Why. I. Can't. Stand. Most. Of. The. New. Gen.

Oh and I'll answer El's question about Derek- He's blind to it all. If he knew half of it, he'd have commented.

Then again, my luck I'd be blamed and be told how oh I should set an example since I'm in two books.

But, at the same time, I lost faith in him ever helping.

Might fall back asleep.

-Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

I've been better...

And ah okay. Hope you find one the you like. :)

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Zaf*
The blame isn't only on you. It's on all of us, and if DEREK ever blamed only you, I'd protest.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Thanks Lavender. And if you want to talk you can email me or contact me on Facebook, you added me right?

Lavender Hope said...

I believe I friended you on FB, but I may have forgotten your email.

I may also have your G+, but I'm not so sure.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Lol Rhy.
*Cuddles*

Lavender Hope said...

Also, I don't go on FB so much...

So it would be nice to have your email to save it in my contacts.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Okie dokie.

So if you ever want to talk, I'm there for you :)

And I need to tell you all something. I have bad news. Not actually bad news, role play/storyline bad news for the fictional Rhyds.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Star Inkbright said...

The new gen seems like it's veing hated a lot, currently . . .
*hugs my beautiful new gen friends*

Lavender Hope said...

Thanks. :)

Since I'm not really in the role play world, it probably won't affect me much, but let's hear it.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Rhydian is dying. Yeah, simple as that :/

Recently he lost his powers/magic and then he accidentally developed Anti-Magic and it's killing him with old age.

Normal magic slows aging, so I concluded that the opposite will speed up age. So yeah, soon Rhy will be old. But i think I have an idea/loop hole which I shall exploit to save Rhydian. But it may not work :/

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Lav- in July he did. That's what hurt me still today. He went mental on me, never cared to let me speak, and then went back to life normally. Hell, he even DMed me on Twitter going off on me, then commented here. Rose defended me, but I never once got an apology from him for how he acted. I don't care who you are, if you tell someone off without their side, then you are no better then the one you tell off. I don't want that to happen to anyone else, I fear it may if he intervenes.

-Zaf

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(It does seem so, Star. However, if people dislike the 'new gen' so much, why, I wonder, do they come on?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sophia- For the people who we can tolerate. I wish I could tolerate the new gen, but they just are not tolerable for me.

-Zaf

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

There is nothing wrong with the new generation...I think everyone is just fed up of the fighting. But the fighting started last generation, not this generation. So there is no need to put the blame onto this generation at all. It's not Jaimie's, or Kassy's, Or Sophia's, Or clara, or Trip or anyone else in this generations fault that the fighting continued. They didn't know.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Well, I would say Trip was last generation but meh.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(So, out of curiosity, why do you complain about being ignored by them if you cannot stand them in the first place? Surely, if you do not care about them, it should not matter either way?

In terms of what you said about Derek, the evidence was clear to see on the blog. I think that, even if he had asked you for your side, he would still have blamed you.)

Lavender Hope said...

I think I heard something like that the last time you were on, Rhy. At least, you were talking about how you found a way to kill your character and weren't sure you had any loopholes to save him with.

*hugs Zaf*
I have no idea what happened then, so I can't really say anything about it. All I know is that this time, it isn't only YOUR fault.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Zafira, you know I tried to talk to you. It's not my fault you said no one was talking to you and went off in a huff. You noticed the people that didn't say hi, not the people that did...and that should have been what was important.

Lavender Hope said...

*wonders*
Is Kas still around? He stopped commenting...

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Gtg now :/ byee!!!!

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will be back soon.)

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Rhydian!
*hugs*

Lavender Hope said...

Okay, Soph!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah only after I got fed up with nobody noticing me did people say hi.

That's my problem with this gen, its all about little groups of people and if you aren't in that little group then you can go shove it. To you, it may seem that it isn't, but to an outsider, it is.

I'm not surprised a lot of people feel left out, things were always together, not split off in groups. People may solo a bit if they needed, but we all stuck to a main plot. Look how I brought Loki down, I try to have him take Blogland, you all stayed in your groups, nobody tried to stop him, but Rose and Alastair and a few select others for a brief time. Loki even has grown tired of the groups, he feels that it is a general waste of time to try to take over, because if it came to it, you would all continue on clueless he took over. Zan and him froze the lake, nobody noticed. That's what irritates me.

-Zaf

Star Inkbright said...

Clara's last gen, as well . . . although maybe this gen as well.
People can be in multiple gens, and appearing a few times in a gen doesn't make you belong to it.

I belong to a lot of gens.
*rolls*
I'm not even contributing to the Zaf/ignoring argument. Sorry.

Lavender Hope said...

*sighs*
*has no reply to that*

*offers Zaf a hug*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

It doesn't involve how you treat others Star, so I don't mind you staying out. You've always been a bubble to everyone and that's what I love about you.

-Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

I be-

Never mind...
*hugs Star*

-Zaf

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Zaf :)*

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry, double comment.

*loses her ability to converse*
I should probably take my shower now... It's getting late...
*poofs*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Though I agree with much of what Elleni said, and do believe that Trip's remarks were unnecessarily curt, I highly doubt it has anything to do with the fact that Sophia is fictional. I gained the impression from Ellenithat that was part of her message to Trip.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I have two more things to say before I might go.

Perhaps, now that nearly everyone seems to have acknowledged problems, our efforts would be best spent on finding constructive ways to fix them moving forward. And as a general note, I believe disagreements are best dealt with by calm discussion of parties involved, whenever possible. I shall add that people tend to be more open to correcting or changing their behavior when they are asked to in a way that does not feel accusatory or insulting.

I also thought it may be meaningful to some of you to read this.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alice.....She hasn't replied to me...

-Zaf

Star Inkbright said...

@Alastair: No, but just after Jai made a speech telling people to stop being mean to Sophia, J said it didn't matter what rhey said to her as she was fictional. I think that Elleni's comments on that, rherefore, were a nod in J's direction.

Aria, you said you didn't want to start arguments . . .

Star Inkbright said...

Thank you, Alastair.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

I didn't start it. She threatened to kill me and no one said that she took it too far, and I'm the bad guy?

*Hugs Zafira*
Me too...

Lavender Hope said...

*doesn't care that it's past 11:11*
*makes the biggest, most hoping to come true wish of her life*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

It will come True, Lav. I'm sure of it.

I'm going to change from now on...
I'm going to try harder to get Blogland back to the way it was before.
Or maybe we can't... we're trying so hard to get blogland back to the past generations but maybe that's the problem, Maybe we are the new generation for a reason.

Lavender Hope said...

Empty. I'm starting to feel empty...
*fades out so much that she can no longer be seen*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*curls up* What the hell do I tell Loki if she...? He may be a god...but I doubt any of us want the end result of his shock.-Zaf

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

No, no no no no no Lav.
Don't do that.
Um...
*Pours flour over her so she can still be seen*
*Hugs her, getting covered in flour*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.


I believe that having problems does not determine whether this place could be described as a haven, or an utopia, or any other word which has been used to describe it. Because no matter where you go, or what you do - there will always be problems. It is how a community deals with the problems which is the determining factor. Snide comments and swearing (which, for some reason, seem to be considered an effective way of getting a point across by some people) will get nowhere. It will cause people to argue even more. It would be better to simply not say a word than to argue about something in the wrong way - because that is destructive, not constructive. There needs to be discussions, and agreements. Because I believe that it is the only way forward.)

Protector said...

"Ok bitch Face."

Talk to her like that again and I swear to god I will make you regret it.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

I'm sorry about my swearing, Sophia.
I swear when I'm angry.

Star Inkbright said...

Well, that's why we start arguments when people i sult our friends.
Sometimes, arguing is necessary.
However, it's not normally necessary for it to venture out of disagreement . . . but that's a whole other thingy.
Point made. *shrugs*
(And no, you're not the bad guy. Although everyone is the bad guy sometimes, and tbh I don't believe in calling people bad guys because no one is purely bad).

Not really here. I'm arranging my playlist . . . I realised I needed to jiggle the songs up because my phone is shit at shuffling if I just put them on in album-sezed chunks, so, for fun, I decided to have one somg from each artist first and then continue putting the songs on in the same artist-order - that order being alphabetical. I'm also arranging the artist's songs in alphabetical order.
I have over three hundred songs.
Yes, this is my idea of fun. *is a nerd XD*

Star Inkbright said...

@J: I think she meant she was putting on her bitch face. That's hoe I read it.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Go on then John.
You don't care that she threatened to kill me.
I know you hate me, but I can't believe that you want me dead. She went too far.
But apparently she apologised.


So, I'm sorry for the way I acted towards Rose. But she went too far saying that she would "have my head"

Star Inkbright said...

As someone who also swears when angry, I suppose I can hardly talk. :P

Lavender Hope said...

*is more covered in flour than Aria*
*hugs back weakly*

*thinks up a response to Soph, doesn't say anything*
*attempts to say welcome back, but can't*
*hopes the message still gets across*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Thank you Star. That was how I put it.
Rose said that she was a bitch when she's angry...but I don't believe that. She was just trying to protect John.

Star Inkbright said...

I think she was just using violent soeech to express her anger, Gemma - much like you do with your swearing.

Lavender Hope said...

*poofs away*
*reappears in her treehouse, not coming out until... Until*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Well all that aside, we need to find a way to make sure Rose is alive. -Zaf

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

But for someone who says that she's going to kill herself, a lot, She shouldn't be threatening to do the same to another person.

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Lv*

I think it depends how you define the word 'bitch' . . . I don't always think it's a bad thing to be a bitch.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

I doubt she would reply to anyone apart from John, Zafira and Kassy.
She certainly wouldn't reply to me. I don't think I even have her e-mail.

Star Inkbright said...

@Aria: No - she shouldn't have said it. Like with what Trip said, I can see why she said it, but it wasn't okay to say it.

Star Inkbright said...

Oh . . .
I didn't actually think of emailing her . . .
Oh.
I don't normally email her, so I just . . . wouldn't have co sidered that. O_O
Woah.
I just realised.
I can email Noelle too.
Oh.
Woah.
Right.

. . .
Oops . . . my brain. XD

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(John, I will point out that threats are only effective should you make them in real life, as attempting to threaten someone who is what, three thousand miles away? will hardly work.)

Lavender Hope said...

*has just emailed Danni*

*hides away again*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

The point is not to try to return Blogland to what it was in any previous era. The point is to make its atmosphere more welcoming and constructive.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Yes Alastair...I agree.

Lol Star. Yes, E-mail them both.

Anonymous said...

Guys.

(I apologize for the caps lock)

CAN WE NOT DO THIS. PLEASE.

By the way, this is directed to everybody.

For God's sake, this is literally what happens every time. Same old, same old. Can we please just coexist, dammit.

I realise that there are issues (because hell, they're huge), but can we express them POLITELY. Please.

I wish I didn't have to do this again, but I am going to leave until we can all at least coexist. Am I being selfish? Probably. But it's stressing me out. So. Damn. Much. Please, guys, can we just STOP.

*leaves and hopes to God I didnt make things worse*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

We're attempting to, Fay. We will work things out. But it might take time...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Alastair - Yes, but will that really happen when people are not going the right way about it?)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

That is hardly a constructive viewpoint, Sophia.

I think it is worth reminding people to try to make this place better on occasion. It seems to me that most people are at least willing to try. If I were to simply resign myself to the idea that nothing will get better, then it is far more likely that nothing will change.

Lavender Hope said...

...
*hugs everyone as tight as she can(which is pretty weak, considering everyone in the hug), EVEN Soph, just this once*
*leaves because she has to sleep anyway...*

I know I've left

Its pretty clear why I've left

But that doesn't matter!


Anyway
Because i consider all of you my friends

I want to basically put my point in

And well my point is non biased because of above

So:

Just quit your bitching!

Just cut it out!

I know this is easier said than done

No one! Is allowed to take the blame

Because its not one mans / lady's fault

It's everyone's because everyone who has argued has contributed to this black cloud that hangs here

I've contributed to it and well im not proud of it...

So im not trying to cause further arguing

I'm hoping this can be an corner post and people use it to help them some how...

Now I don't like fights

I know I've had my fair share of them...

And just saying this isn't going to change things...

But i ask all of you

Please look inside of yourself

Find your nicety's

And well bring them out

If you have a problem with someone

Just try be civil and talk it out

Don't turn it into a slag each other off match

That's what politics is for *nods*

So I will not sit idly while I see death threats fly

Because that's harsh

This is not me having a dig at anyone!

I'm simply putting words to feelings...


So oldies

You can't blame the new gen

Because things change...

You can't stagnate

Because you'll get left behind

If anything we need to keep evolving

For this place to be a safe haven again...

Not a blwdi warzone...

"the darkest hour is only sixty minutes long"

That saying thing

Seems to fit what's happening here



So please for the sake of the greater good

Put petty grievances aside

And well if you dislike someone

Don't flippin talk to them!

This isn't the place for harsh language or threats

If you hate

Go hate elsewhere!

Keep it off here!

No body wants it here!

That's why so many have left

Because of the constant scrapping!

So please just be nice

Or get out

This isn't the place for cruelty

So kindness or not at all

Simple choice


Also I don't like bullying of any kind

So if you think you can bully people


Go die in a hole!


I will not stand for it!

I don't care who you are

I'll treat you the same


So kindness only

And if you are having life problems

Try talk them out with someone

Please




So just heed these words

Thank you


(p.s I know I was a little cruel...

But that's how I stand on bullying )

(Fair enough, but I am simply pointing out that there are better ways to change things than through snide comments and swearing - those will hardly fulfil the requirements for a welcoming and pleasant community, and people are likely to react against them.

Yes, people should be reminded that there are improvements to be made. But there are reasons behind everything. Swearing will not make those core reasons any better, it will simply make things worse. Change is possible. I am not claiming otherwise. But change can only be achieved if people go about it the right way.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Welp, I'm going to Keiron's so i'll speak to you guys later.
*Hugs everyone who wants to be hugged and just smiles at those that doesn't apply to*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)

Garret Falcone said...

Also

Im all for change here

Because change will help everyone

We'll have a nice place again

Which is what everyone wants

But people need to remember

Rome wasn't built in a day

So therefore blogland won't change in a day

We need everyone to work towards this please


For your sake and everyone else's


Now my peace is completely said

I do not want or intend to cause offence to anyone

If anyone has any problems with what I have just said
Please kindly voice them and we can talk it out

*bows*

Thank you for your time in reading this

I shall no longer bother you

*returns to my leave*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I don't disagree with you, Sophia. In fact, I believe I have said something along those lines earlier on this page. I do not believe that swears or snide remarks will do anything but worsen the situation. However, I also do not believe it is wise to dwell too long on what will not work. The topic has been discussed by several people now, so while I appreciate what you are saying, and perhaps it will bear repeating later, I suspect that emphasizing it too much will cause others to feel defensive.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Not really here..)

Star Inkbright said...

I just want to cry now (in a good way) because despite all tbe shit that's going on there's so many people caring/wanting to fo better/wanting to be civil and I'm just crying because I love you and I'm so proud of you.
So often, we focus on the few making trouble, or whst troues a person is causing . . . we forget to look at those who care, or those who are trying to solve the problems, or the good halves of the people causing trouble.

Anyway
sorry
that was a moment.

Does anyone know the name of Track 8 on Muse's Black Holes and Relevations . . . ?
"When the Zetas fill the sky
It's just our leaders in disguise"
or something.

Anyway.
Okay, apparently people are feeling ignored and they'd like to be said hi to. I think we can solve this by saying hi to people. Is there anyone who thinks this is a bad idea - and if so, why?

(On that note, hi ALastair, Sophia, Fay(?), Lav(?), Rhos(?), Gemma, Zaf, Jai . . . sorry if I've missed you out. :()

Hi Chloe. :)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I was attempting to shorten the list, essentially, of things people would be attempting to try. The more things that we can rule out, the more chance that we actually find a method of changing things which will actually be successful.

I also think that a balance should be achieved between 'welcoming' and 'making people feel like they have to be welcoming'. I know I am hardly the nicest person, and I am aware of that, but I rather like the right to roleplay and talk to whom I want. And that is a right I believe everyone should have. It only makes sense. If someone does not want to speak to another person, why should they have to?)

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks, Adam. :)

For some readon my phone (and laptop) don't give me the titles, and so I can forget them. :P

Inky Flame said...

(Hey adam!
How art everyone?)

Star Inkbright said...

Oh. Yeah. Hi Adam.

You can say hi to people and not talk to them, though, Sophia . . . that's still welcoming, it's just not pulling people out or orbit to be welcoming.

Star Inkbright said...

I'm fine, thanks, Chloe. :) Rearranging my playlist. O_O

Star Inkbright said...

*You? :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: Hi. :)
And, yeah . . . :/

Noelle said...

*Curls up* *Doesn't want hugs right now, sorry*

*Wraps herself in her little ball in her little shanty* *Feels this place is like a dark mass of... Endless hatred, blame, and immaturity*
*Shakes her head*

*Doesn't feel safe anywhere, now*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I believe on an individual level, not saying hello to someone is acceptable. I do not understand why someone would complain that someone who they have wronged is ignoring them.)

Inky Flame said...

(*tilts head* sorry, but I'm not so good at stuff like that...)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Hey guys, how're things?

Noelle said...

Thank you for the kind offer, Chloe- I appreciate it very much
*Nods*
*Smiles a little*

Star Inkbright said...

I'm sorry, Noelle . . .

MY MUM DID A PRESENTATION ON THAT A FEW YEARS BACK AT A SCHOOL AND SHE DEMOED IT ON ME
I can't remember most of it, though . . . :/ I don't have too good a memory for past events . . .
But you know those images you get on the back of Hula Hoop packets, where you have a dot surrounded by big dots and a dot surrounded by small dots, and you would swear the latter is bigger than the former but they're the same size?
She said that girls are sobused to look at unrealistically skinny Photoshopped versions of people in magazines and suchlike that they think they look really fat but they're actually normal . . .

Inky Flame said...

(Anytime Bach

Hi tripster!)

Star Inkbright said...

Hi, Trip. :) Your comments to Sophia have been causing quite the turmoil, don't know if you know. You keep setting off blog-explosions. :P

@Sophia: No, you don't have to say hello to people. Just like one doesn't have to resoect people and refer to them as they widh to be referred, or how you don't have to try and cheer people up when they're feeling down. It's just a matter of whether you want to help people feel better or whether you're okay with them feeling hurt.

Star Inkbright said...

Oops. I was meaning to switch to 'one' to make it seem less personal once I got to the peopleingeneral part, but I forgot.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Personally, I would start by looking at magazines. I would see what aspects of a person's body they would be editing - e.g. their hips, breasts, stomach, legs, etc. and why they see a necessity to change them, and what affect this change could have on those reading the magazine.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I rather think that there is a difference between those actions, Star.


In terms of the body images, I would also look at the differences between how they edit the bodies of females, and how they change the bodies of males. For example, with males they tend to make their arms larger and their chest more toned, whereas females tend to get their breasts made larger and their body to be more curved - essentially to make them more sexy. And you could perhaps look at how the changes reflect society's views for the different genders.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(You are welcome.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Herrow Chole, Star.

And Star, I think that's because of my... explosive personality.

*Goes off to find her blade*
*Goes*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Woohoo! *waves team mime flag*)

For various reasons, I think the blade should remain not found, and be replaced with hugs.

That sound like a plan? I like that plan.

Inky Flame said...

(No blades
Just hugs
Agreed!

Ad thanks)

It takes two people to argue. It doesn't matter "who started it."

And also, I don't think being blog-older gives you any special rights to act unkindly towards others.

I didn't read the Twitter DMs to Zaf, but I read the post. It didn't mention her name once, and it was not accusing her of causing everything wrong with Blogland, but was instead mostly-directed at her behavior towards Adra/Noelle. Zaf has a habit of seeing anything negative as an attack, and in her mind, the post is certainly negative.

It's here, for anyone who would like to read it. A summary from anyone (myself included) would be based on memories, and probably biased.

http://dereklandy.blogspot.com/2014/04/announcement.html

Okay, back to what I was saying. The whole "blame the newbies" thing is getting really, really old. Blog-age doesn't/shouldn't make you superior, except maybe that you've been here for stuff and learned from it. The way you act to people is what makes you a better person. Drawing lines between generations is not going to help a * thing.

Also, I would disagree that the fighting started last generation. I think that the blog has never not had fighting of some sort, especially in the little spaces of time that are sort of in between generations. However, that isn't really important. The important thing is to focus on now and what we can do to fix now. I think that trying not to throw blame around would be a good start.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I agree, Fabi.)

(I haven't dreamt in ages. Last time I did there was a plane crash, and spiders started coming out of the plane and could all walk on water. The character my dream was following turned to his fellow survivor who may or may not have been me, frankly I'm not sure, and asked if there was a logical explanation for such behaviour. Then I woke up. Normally I'm annoyed when my dreams get cut off halfway through, but this time I just muttered to myself "I don't think I could give a logical explanation for why spiders could magically walk on water either." Now, I could [probably have a stab at it, but I'd just woken up.)
