WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Oh gosh... I don't know what's happening! Do you know what happened today!?

APARRI...BECAME A BLOGGER!!

Click here if you don't believe me.
Yes, he's an author for the Animal Jam Spirit now. But the thing is, I don't like this.

I'm sure you all have picked this up from some of my recent posts, but I don't like Aparri. Yes, his videos are pretty good, but HIM as a person... I just don't like it. He seems to care too much about rares and fame. One of the reasons why I hate Mail-Time videos, actually. It's basically " SEND ME GOOD STUFF BECAUSE I MAKE VIDEOS". For those of you who make videos like this, I'm not saying all you care about is rares. I promise. I'm just saying that whoever invented AJ Mail-Times probably just wanted free rares. Enough about that now, let's get back on topic.

I swear-and I'm not kidding when I say this- that Aparri is COPYING my AJ life or something!
He's made 2 outfits that were almost identical to mine, and now he starts BLOGGING! What...is...going...ON?!? I bet he's stalking me. I covered up my camara on my laptop, just in case...

Okay, I'm freaking out for no reason. I don't even know why you all would want to hear all this from me. What do I know? But I felt like letting my feelings out about this, and what better way than on a blog post?

Idk, though. I just don't know.

*Please note that I didn't intend to harm or offend anyone by posting this. Honest! For you Aparri-fans out there, I'm so sorry. Believe what you'd like. Don't make me the ruler of your life! But this is my opinion, and I just felt like posting it. But, again, I'm sorry.*

P.S. Look who I saw on the Epic Dens list!!

I sent her a JAG saying " Panda? I thought you got hacked!", and she replied " It's a long story, short, I got my stuff back." I'm glad! Hopefully some of the rumors floating around are not true!

Eevee Art!

* SkyWatcher, please read the post below, if you're reading this*

Hi again! I'm back for a second time today! Why? Because I wanted to show you all this!

I'm so proud of it, lol! It took me quite a while! I added reflections, those little dot-thingies, and even a little Poke-ball symbol at the bottom! No, I do not play Pokemon, but I DO love Eevee! They're so KAWAII!!

What do you all think of it? 

Finally, I'd like to give a shout-out to klc40! She's been sending me tons of nice Jam-A-Grams about my art, and I'm so grateful for the compliments! Thank you, klc40, for being so kind and encouraging! You are awesome!!

That's all for now! Read the post below, if you'd like, but I've got to go now! Byeee!!

Hacks

Hello everyone! Terribly sorry for not posting a lot, it's just that nothing big has been happening lately. Well, okay, one big thing is going around. Actually, two. Two VERY big things. And they both involve hacking.

Now, I cam talk about one of the the topics on here, but the other may be personal. SkyWatcher, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Should I post about the recent happenings anyway, or not? I know that you have mixed feelings on this, and that's why I'm asking you. If you would like to keep it a little more private, just comment on this post, and I will not post about the topic at all! It's up to you.

Anyway, though, the hack I WILL be talking about today is the Skype Hack.

Basically, someone on Animal Jam asks if they can Skype you. I don't know who would be crazy enough to Skype a stranger they met online, but I won't judge anymore. But yeah, once they're Skyping you, they can ask to " share screens", whatever that means. If you agree, they can someone gain your personal information, and - BAM - you're hacked. They can also hack you by sending you a link, and once you click it, you get logged out and hacked. Apparently, soon the hacker may be able to uncover your address, and start threatening you. That's never good.

So my advice for you - although I'm sure you already know this - is to NOT SKYPE WITH ONLINE STRANGERS! It's downright dumb, and it will only get you hacked, scammed, or even worse. I'm not calling any of you guys dumb, but just... be careful. I don't want any others getting hacked. In fact, maybe just stay away from Skype at the moment. It seems to be causing a lot of problems. See, this is probably why my parents said NO to Skype. I'm rather glad they did that now, though.

That's all for this mini-post! Bye bloggers! Please remember to PARTY HARD, STAY SAFE, and JAM ON!

Sloth Opinion

I'm so sorry for the lack of posts, everyone! I had a friend over on Wednesday, and she had a sleepover. But because we played Poptropica for most of the day ( hehe), my mom wouldn't let me play AJ yesterday, so I only got on for a few minutes. And today we went to Schlitterbahn! But no worries, I'm back now, and today I'm here to make a mini-post on the new, upcoming sloths.

Oh yeah, these guys are cute. But I'm gonna voice my opinion on them. Be warned, I care a LOT about details! :p


Anyways, yes, sloths are adorable. But let me start with the look.
The eyes are super kawaii, but what's with the pig-looking nose? Real sloth noses look like this:

Honestly, I don't think they look anything like the Animal Jam sloth noses. Maybe AJHQ is still in the pig spirit, eh? Either way, it's only a tiny detail, and I suppose it's fine. Perhaps it will look different on the real avatars.

Also...they're green. Green. Sloths in real life aren't green. But hey, we have blue-ish wolves, penguins and monkeys, purple eagles and falcons, and red owls, so I guess that's not a detail we need to worry about. I must say, though, the green goes well with the color around the eyes!

Okay, enough about the looks of the sloths. This is the part I have been pondering ever since I saw that sloths were an option in the Heartstone contest.

Sloths are slow, of course. They can't help it. But will they be slow as avatars? I mean, Animal Jam allows every animal to run and walk on the game, but what about sloths? I feel like it would be very unrealistic to have sloths running around Jamaa. But hey, like I keep saying in comments, I'd rather have a fast, unrealistic sloth than a realistic, slow one. 

There's one other thing though. SLOTHS DON'T WALK.

Don't believe me? Here's some info I found on the web:

See? It says they don't even have to touch the ground. And that three-toed sloths spend their LIVES in one tree.

The only time they come down, apparently, is to go to the bathroom. ( XD)

This doesn't matter much, but that AJ sloth looks like a three-toed sloth to me! Three-toed ones spend their lives in a tree. So sloths would be walking around on the ground of Jamaa, again, unrealistically. And HOW would AJHQ make them walk? Would they walk on their knuckles, or just normally? I honestly don't know. But like I said, I'd rather have an unrealistic sloth that's faster and can actually WALK, than a non-realistic, slow sloth that, um...can't even put their feet on the ground. Feet? Paws? Toes? I dunno.

But there you go. That's my opinion on sloths. Basically, I think that they'll be pretty unrealistic, but it'll be cool to see the actions they do! Plus, they're pretty adorable! How could you resist? 

Until next time, this is swirlshine, saying...

REMEMBER TO
PARTY HARD

BE KIND

AND...

JAM ON!

P.S. Before I go, here's a super-swag picture I edited on piZap. It's that monkey from the Jamaa Journal, showing us his fists. Only now, he's this:

Oh yeah. This was genius.

Meetings and Randomness

Hiya everyone! Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I got home late! Since it was the 4th Of July, my family met up with my grandparents, and we all watched the fireworks together! I took quite a few pictures, XD!
Anyway, there doesn't seem to be much going on in Jamaa lately, other than the occasional person screaming " OMG APARRI'S ON!" Haha, I actually just saw people saying that. I even went to other worlds in Jamaa to 1. See how many people were screaming about him, and 2. Check to see if he was there.
I hate how that last part turned out. I don't exactly like Aparri. If you like Aparri, I won't mess with your opinion, but this is mine. Aparri seems like he cares a little too much about rares and "betas". He also is sorta braggy. I feel like I'm offending so many people right now! Please don't hate me! I mean, " Aparri is swag"? o.o
So yeah. Really, the only "famous" AJ YouTubers I like are bepper and (kinda) Wisteriamoon. I don't care for Aparri, WootMoo, LilacPetal, or Julian2. They are just...braggy to me. Again, this is my opinion only. If you like these people, don't let me make your decisions for you. Just keep loving what you love! ;)

I've actually spotted quite a few "famous" Animal Jammers in the past 3 years! I saw WootMoo online, at his den, and in Coral Canyons...
I met snowyclaw in Coral Canyons too, not too long ago...
I saw bepper in Coral Canyons a few days ago...

And finally, I saw Aparri online.

Haha. His eyes changed. Dunno what that's about. Maybe a glitch, maybe Wisteriamoon. We may never know.

I was going to show the pictures of snowyclaw and WootMoo, but I'm too lazy to scroll through my endless screenshots. Plus, I have TONS of Masterpiece pictures that stock it up too. But you can check older posts to see those.
I dunno why I posted all this "famous Animal Jammers" stuff, because personally, I hate acting like it's so cool and rare to spot them. They're just people like us! The only difference is that they have YouTube accounts, and anyone can do that...
Okay, I'm sorry. I feel like I'm offending people who like these jammers. How about we move onto something less awkward, eh? Let's get RANDOM!! YAAAY!!

I never realized how BIG this Daisy Table is! It's bigger than my arctic wolf!
Oh wait. Most tables are bigger than people, so... yeah. Hm. Guess I'm too used to small Animal Jam tables, XD!
Ignore my look. I had to make a temporary one so people would actually notice me in Jamaa Township. *Sigh* What has this world come to?
What am I doing, more like! XD

Some new items that you can get from redeeming codes from the AJ toys! Woah, I think that Chaise Lounge is for non-members!!! Woo!

So, in one of her older videos, bepper had an interview with Clark Stacey, the CEO of Animal Jam. She asked if any new lands would ever be opening, and as you can see, he said yes. I don't know if this was made before or after Kimbara Outback was released, but even if Kimbara Outback HADN'T been released yet, that means that the land above Appondale, along with the land below it, might be a new land someday! Petopia Peaks, here I come!
Oh yeah! Bepper also asked if Mira and Zios would ever make a return, and again, he answered yes! So Mira ISN'T dead! Many jammers believe that Mira somehow died, but I have always believed that she was always a spirit. I DON'T know about Zios, though. The legend, according to AJHQ, says Zios was killed by the phantoms, but this legend has since been removed. But now, some are saying that Zios isn't dead, and he just merely disappeared one day. What do you all think? Is Zios ever going to return, or was the old legend right?

 I saw this lynx in Jamaa Township, and immediately noticed her fur looked darker than it should. I clicked her nametag...

 And her colors looked a lot brighter in this picture. Maybe it was just the mud in Appondale that did this, but I saw it happen to an eagle, too!

See? Seems rather strange, maybe it's a glitch. I doubt they BOTH went in the mud in Appondale, plus, it didn't seem to come off like the mud does.

Quiz Time!

" What Animal Jam Animal Are You?"

 Woo! Tigers are AWESOME! And a tiger was my first AJ animal! They're also my favorite AJ animal AND pet! Go tigers!!

I don't remember the title of this one, but it was something like " What Are You On Animal Jam?"

Ooo YAS! This describes me SOO WELL!! The only part that's NOT be is buddying everyone. ( Did I spell buddying right, or is it budding? Idk.) I really only buddy people I've at least somewhat met. I don't really accept buddy requests from random people. Other than that, this quiz IS SO ACCURATE!! WOO! WIERDO 4EVER! :D

Finally, a Shoutout to my friend, Lostfairy, for making these two BEAUTIFUL works of art!

These are so realistic, Lostfairy! Amazing job!!

Anyways, I don't really have much else to post about now. Maybe I'll make another Masterpiece! (I think I'm obsessed, XD!) So I guess all I have to say now is:
Remember to party hard, be kind, and JAM ON!!

P.S. Please do not be offended by anything I said in this post! I am merely expressing my opinion, and I don't want any comment-fights starting because of it. Like I said, don't be influenced by me if you don't want to, and just be who you really are! Bye, and thanks, all of you! 

My Newest Masterpiece!

I put some things in storage today, so now I have more den inventory slots! And more slots means MORE MASTERPIECES!!
Today, I made a brand new one! It was inspired by this picture, created by ticketytock.

I couldn't upload the picture I had of it, since it wasn't a . JPEG or . PNG photo, so I decided to load it on the Art Studio and take a screenshot!

Isn't it cute? Shadow was my best friend's pet cat, and I loved him, so I decided to make this! I'm rather proud of this one! It took quite a while to make, so I hope you all enjoy the result! Tell me your thoughts on it in the comments, and I'll reply tomorrow! See you all later! ;)

O.O

Omg. Okay, so I just found so many good Masterpieces...I... I can't believe... just... check the Art By Others tab. Or check Wisteriamoon's den. But it's easier to check the tab it if you're reading this, I guess.

Why does everyone in the world draw better than me!?

Weird Comments In AJ ( Again)

Hi everyone! My sis has been watching AJ YouTube videos, and now I think Wisteriamoon isn't so bad. She's like me: hilariously random. XDD
I dunno though. Tell me if I should think she's awesome or just her videos, haha!


Anywho, it's RANDOM TIME! Oh yeaaah! Enjoy!

 Sure...

 I don't think you can "give" animals on AJ.

 You're obviously magic, person. I didn't know AJ toys were sold in the game, too! o3o (jk)

 ...

 Extra black? Yeah I have one.

Told you so! Original image is not mine.

 I thought cake gets mostly eaten... Well, it gets discarded one way or another, right? Oh gosh, what am I doing?! I'll stop. Nice comeback though, person.

 Oh gosh. What is going on?! I suddenly see this at the Penguins Only Party... Although, that guy reacted quite well! " What". Dunno if that's what Duke meant though.

 Um, apparently you...? Yikes.

 Okay! * Tries to fly and faceplants into a bush*

 The safest item on AJ. Haha.

 Oh snap, girl! Don't give away everything you have for one item!!

 O.O    I don't think that's how roleplaying works, girl. Or how fashion shows work, either. ( She wasn't roleplaying for real, I guess she was trying to say " Any fashion shows?")

I'm scared.

Duh people! " Quality time with Trump", though? People are becoming even more insane by the minute...

Haha, I just noticed " Ish a shark :D".

OH GOSH, HIDE PEOPLE!!! SHE'S TURNING US INTO POPS!

See? I was right!! She DID mean popsicles! She meant " there will be popsicles", though. Thank goodness.

That's all for now, I gotta get off the computer! Bye! Remember to PARTY HARD, BE RANDOM, and JAM ON!
