The Start... (1/2 Happy Bday SA Amino!)

•••How I found Spirit Animals Amino•••

It started off about four months since I got Wattpad. I was reading stories and maybe a few fan fics when I saw an A/N that talked about Amino.

Since I was bored, I decided to check it out. So I did, joined a few aminos and searched up if there was a Spirit Animal amino. If you've been in Wattpad, there wasn't a lot of Spirit Animal fan fics so finding a Spirit Animal community in what looked like a new app seemed unlikely.

Surprisingly, I found a couple of spirit animal communities. I joined the one that said "Spirit Animals" and tried to get use to the app. It didn't seem very active but I would usually see Claira come online almost everyday.

Now the sad part...

Due to the inactivity of the community (and because I don't have a lot of storage on my phone) I deleted the app. I didn't leave but I deleted it.

Then one random day, a few months later, I was feeling bored and the app came into my mind again.

I installed it again, surprised to see that Claira had commented on my wall and asking if I would join the challenge she made. I felt guilty, seeing that there was barely anyone active but I decided to join in.

I then made a roleplay...

...And met some friends.

...Of Mah Dudes (2/2 Happy Bday SA Amino!)

WARNING: This contains a SUPER long post about...cheese that would probably embarrass the peep who wrote this!

So where did I last left off?

I made a roleplay called "Spirit Animals Roleplay."

WOAH! That's so original!

Thank you, I know it is.

And there I met some friends. Through roleplays. Though since there's quite a lot of them and I don't know who to start with... i'll just go in order of who i've met first.

•Ash•
Aka: Fangirl Soul, Ash and Kopa, D. A. B, person who made most of Griff's nicknames

I met Ash while roleplaying (no duh) and along with Ray, she was one of the first peeps that i've roleplayed with.

We have also made...ASHIN!

DAM I have a lot of memories to share but there'll be too many to even fit on this blog!

Though she can be scary (I've seen that through the roleplays and caught glimpses of it) she's a really fun person to just talk to, share a laugh, roleplay with (no duh!!).

Aaaaanyways i'm quite glad to have met you (in the roleplays) mah dude. And thanks for being one of my first best friends on here.

•Ray•
Aka: Raylen and Sage, StingRAY

Like i've mentioned earlier, along with Ash, Ray became one of my first friends on here as well. I always remembered us three being the most people online at that time.

She might appear a little shy at first but she can get pretty annoying (in a good way) when she (along with Ash) starts SPAMMING me! She spammed me on my wall, in my posts, in the roleplays and in private message!

But of course, I couldn't stay mad forever. She's fun to roleplay with and she even made, probably the best roleplay back in the days, the Captured Rp!

But Ray, we're missing you here so I wish to see ya again mah dude!

•Claira•
Aka: Le Moon, le amaZHONG leader of SA Amino

When SAFinn made her leader and during my first days on the community, Claira was usually the only person I would see in the Onlines List.

Coming back to Spirit Animals amino and still seeing Claira there kind of surprised me. I didn't have that kind of motivation to even stay yet she managed to find that motivation and did her very best to make this community active.

Like I said, who cares about spelling and grammar errors. Out of all the aminos i'm in, you're the most funniest, dedicated, and amaZHONG leader in my opinion.

You're a fun person to roleplay with, fun to talk to, and i'm glad to call you my friend.

•Vix•
Aka: TinyVixenTales, TinyBean, Pfp changer, a bunch of other usernames she'd changed it to

I gotta admit, I kinda had mixed feelings of another male OC joining the roleplay. I was glad cause then Griff's not the only male XD, then kinda...challenged since there'll be some competition for Ash (the OC) XD.

And I must admit that I was a little nervous to be roleplaying with Vix. But I was kind of determined to actually roleplay with her since it seemed as if every time I wasn't on, she was and vice versa.

Well we finally roleplayed together, lol XD.

Anyways, Vix, you have great ideas, like the Greenhaven Gazette (which you guys should check out), you're quite fun to roleplay and talk to, and it's great to call you, mah dude!

•Dash•
Aka: Briggan, Dasharoo, Devonshire roleplayer

When I first met Dash, she had been Briggan then and we were roleplaying in Captured. In all the Spirit Animals community that I have joined, I would always see Briggan there too lol.

Your love for Devin first amused me. I mean, I liked Devin sure, he's getting better at being Worthy but it gave me a new perspective of Devin when you started roleplaying as him. You make a pretty good Devin XD.

You're funny, you're dedicated, you've got great ideas like the Epic Rap Battles Gang and the Bean Team. I know I haven't been...a great friend to you lately and we've had our ups and downs, but just know I still consider you as one of mah dudes.

•Vic•
Aka: Victoria Diamondwhisper, Victory, Le Volcano

I remembered when you first came into the roleplay. Ash had fainted from blood loss then went offline, Ray almost drowned in the ocean and also went offline, poor me was forced to roleplay as two characters to try and save them and where was Vic?

Oh yeah, she was at Nilo, eating Apples and watching me suffer through a vision XD.

Vic, you've got such a wild imagination and I mean that in a good way. Your imaginations leads to fun and interesting stories that you'd make. I won't lie, it sometimes annoyed me but I really admired with how imaginative you can become. Even I don't have that kind of imagination! TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!!!

You've got an imaginative... imagination, great ideas, and is an amazing Volcano!

•Alexy•
Aka: Alexy Bruest, another pfp changer, person who added a bunch more to 'Griff's List of Nicknames'

I guess it started when I saw your post about...stuff. It got me worried because I hate it when people leave for that reason. So I talked to you and i'm quite glad I did cause then I found a new piano buddy XD.

I never really found it awkward talking to you (unlike some other... chats) and I really (and still do) enjoy our roleplay. It never seems to die, get awkward, or get boring!

And of course *cough* Sarob *cough*.

And did I mention that you create:
1. Amazing digital backgrounds
2. Awe-striking Avatar art
3. (*thinking of more adjectives*) And outstanding dragons!

And your stories man...BRUH!

Anyways, I consider ya as one of mah best dudes! (Aka: best friend).

•Mac•
Aka: MacKenzie Da Redcloak, MacKenzie, Apple, Mac 'N' Cheese, Macbook, le Borker, MacDonalds, MacAttack, person with too many nicknames XD

So when did it start... *thinks* Oh yeah, you sent me a PM asking me how to center, bold, ect. And then I finally joined Alexy's roleplay when the whole "Hello" thing started XD. I was quite surprised that you caught on mah dude (and Vic was just confused about the whole thing XD).

You've got a combination of artistic and...writing talents, something that I wish I had and because of that, I envy (not in a hating sort of way) and admire you. LE APPLE HOW DO YOU DRAW?! IT'S TOO HARD (or i'm too lazy to put in the effort).

You've got amazing ideas for this community, really funny (*cough* Mission Impossible) and is really welcoming and friendly. Thanks for being mah dude, mah dude!

•Katie•
Aka: Katie The Greencloak, animallover941, QualityContent, le Mom XD

hoi! - Katie's greeting in chats

I think I first saw you in Wattpad. I think...CURSE MY MEMORY!

And just like Mac...You've got writing AND drawing skills! DUDE HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!

We've only known each other for two or three months but I already find it fun to talk to ya. You always say quality content 👌and just lol XD.

Thank you for being mah dude, mah dude XD!

••A Couple of Mentions••
Kitty (kitkattiger)
Dross (Dross and Striker)
Storm
Fade

If I missed anyone then you're probably someone i've yet to know more.

That's all i've got to say XD

So thanks peeps!

A Small Little "Message" of some sorts

Woah guess what? It's a post from the leader who's been dead for a while!

Why is said-leader alive now? Cause I was reincarnated into a spirit animal! Duh.

Okay let's get Sirius as to why I've been dead for a while...

With my parents forcing me to delete this app (for the second time) making changes to the Apple ID password and threatening to destroy my second IPhone after the first one took a swim in the toilet, I was a little late on announcing my "extended hiatus".

For the first few days, I was...not in a really great mood after "the banishment of my former privilege of installing random apps" and then school happened...which started with an annoying science project we did not know about.

But over the next few weeks I felt a little more...freedom. By that, I mean I was able to update stories more often, not having to wake up in the morning and check notifications and focus on real life friends...

But I never forgot about this app cause...well I have friends I hadn't properly said bye to.

And no I ain't sayin bye after I've found a new way to get into the app instead of using my friend's typo-making Samsung phone! (No offense to Samsung lovers).

I apologize for my delayed "hiatus message" even though this isn't exactly a delayed "hiatus" message but more of a "Hey I'm back!" message.

I won't be on as often as I had been before...but I will be on. Obviously.

Welp, cya around Erdasians and I hope no one missed me! 😁

"The Final Pages" (2nd SA Amino Anniversary)

Months turn weeks, weeks turn days,
Turn page by page, hearing them say,
One last battle, one last fight,
Till they finally turn things right.

Pulled out their homes, chosen as heroes, not born,
To take up a cloak, to an oath they've sworn.
Bonds were made and bonds were broken,
But they stuck together, tightly woven.

And so our heroes charge one last time,
Into last pages, always so sublime.
But their legacy doesn't end, we pass on their name,
In the oh-so-amazhong Keeper game!

They taught us not about heroes, or the color of ones cloak,
But the bonds between animals, friends, and a side-ish of a joke.
So promise our bonds remain strong, and forever the same,
An unending cycle, we keep up their flame.

- - -

I actually wrote this piece of cheese of a poem before I even read Dragon's Eye buuuut basically I'm saying... I don't want this fandom to die cuz it's over!

This fandom, especially in the SA Amino, is so... I don't know, special?

I've never seen any other Amino as friendly and welcoming as this one, as goofy and sanely insane at the same time with so many flicking roleplays that created bonds and kept us lazy from updating stories and stuff!

It's just seemed like yesterday that there'd only been three people active everyday until new members just flooded this whole Amino!

I'll admit, there's been ups and downs and tension between users but we've still managed to maintain positivity (or tried. Cough. Anyway).

I've made.. so many new friends since the first anniversary (like a buttload of em) and... wow can I just say, everyone of ya'll are amazing and special to me.

Like, you have no idea just how much it means to me to see you peeps having fun in rps, getting annoyed at my amazhong puns, how worth it it is waking up early in the morning to sneak a few replies or stay up super late at night when I get the chance.

Everything has been a fun wild ride!

To the new members:
You've joined the right Amino!

To old members:
I'm older than ya'll (except for like a few others who are still fairly active)

Thanks for the moments mah good dudes!

An Official Goodbye of sorts

I've got something to say. I've been thinking of this for a while now and I've decided that I need to leave Amino.

This community has been fun to be in, watching it grow from when only the same three people were always online to now reaching 20s or somethin. Made quite a good amount of friends and the roleplays were always great to be in.

But I decided that I just need to move on with life and Amino's only going to hold me back. I can't just keep being on my phone most days or planning Roleplays. I can't.

Now, that doesn't mean I'd be gone for good. I might pop in and post some stories from time to time.

Anyways, see ya peeps!
