      @Whimsy: Yeah, Gaia mods are kind of a joke. lmao
      But I kinda thrive on the chaos sometimes.

      When that happens I usually just go without the space.
      And if my username is too long usually 'Lady Anarchy' is just a few letters short enough to work.
      That's the name I had to use when I had joined Dappervolk, before I left.

    @Anarchist Beauty: yeah the chaos can be entertaining too

    i wish i could come up with a username identifier. it's just so cool.

    why did you leave dappervolk?

    i'm called mynah on dappervolk but i hardly login there. it felt like there was too much to do although it's a pretty site. also it was very bright on the screen from what i remember.

      @Whimsy: Not a lot of people I know have a singularly unique username.
      I think it's great to be able to have the brain power to think of multiple names. lol
      My only form of that is my mules, and especially on Gaia I have several with a myriad of names.
      Those like half of my Gaia mules/backups are inspired by the tv show The 100. XD

      I left Dappervolk because it was too much work and they're a little too strict on that whole pg-13 thing.
      And they try to reach a little too far in my opinion.
      Like, I literally can not tell you the last time I saw anyone on any avi site under the age of 20.
      Plus, I'm on avi sites to have fun, not waste all my time grinding out a million quests every. single. day.
      DV was a fabulous idea in concept, but the execution just fell flat for my lazy ass. lol
      The art is beautiful, and I do miss my pets because I had a theme going with all their names, but sometimes things just don't work out.

    @Anarchist Beauty: sometimes i try a few usernames and when none of them are available i get stumped. lol
    i didn't know about the strict pg-13ness on dappervolk, because i didn't explore the forums all that much. but yeah, there was WAY too much to do, too many quests and dailies that no matter how lovely the art was i didn't enjoy myself there.
    yeah, sometimes there are other sites vying for your time and you have to cut your losses and move on. i've done that a few times with pet sites cause there are so many that you have to pick and choose.

      @Whimsy: Yeah, I'm a forum poster at my core so I spend a lot of time looking and hoping for active forum sites.
      DV was a mix, it was decently active on forums, but the never ending grind of quests was just too much.
      I wasn't enjoying myself and I wasn't feeling like I could make enough currency otherwise.
      I'm of the mind that it should be a more equal thing.
      Like, I shouldn't have to spend all my time on your site grinding and doing things to earn money.
      Not to mention, I truly hated some of the quests.
      The 'change your avi/equip [this specific thing]' ones PISSED me off.
      Like no, *I* get to decide what my avi looks like, not you.
      And I don't even care that you could 'change it right back'.
      I shouldn't have had to change it at all.
      Like who's idea was it to have that as a quest?
      Because I want them slapped with a rubber chicken.

      But yeah, I cut my loses with DV (and a lot of other places) and only recently even paid any attention to it at all because I was going through every avi site I could remember being on to close down my Hogwarts threads.
      (Boy was THAT a process. lmao)

    @Anarchist Beauty: yeah, when it feels like i have to grind a lot to keep up with a site's economy instead of having fun and making currency along the way, i lose all interest in the site.
    i didn't know about that quest because i rarely checked those out lol. that really is a silly quest cause like what's the point of it?
    omggg i've seen your hogwarts hangout on every avi site i've been on, more or less!

      @Whimsy: Same. I don't wanna grind. I wanna have fun.

      Yeah, it was my Thing. lol
      But it was time to move on.
      Now I have a different themed hangout. xD

      @Whimsy: Yes ma'am I do! lol
      And they just announced casting for Grover and Annabeth for the show, so I am hyyyyyyped.

      It's a good plan to stick with what you like.
      I had Hogwarts for the greater part of the last decade or more.
      But then I made CHB to try and start moving my online persona away from being known as the Hogwarts chick.
      And it worked.
      Cos now Hogwarts is dead and CHB gonna reign.

    @Anarchist Beauty: i still have such mixed feelings about HP. and also HP fandom.
    it was a huge part of my childhood and i can't deny that.
    oooh i didn't know there was going to be a show! that's exciting :)
    yeah you've reinvented your brand.

      @Whimsy: Yeah, Harry Potter is a bit of a touchy subject at the moment.
      Which is gross.
      Like ew, I looked up to JKR dude.
      Now I feel like I need an acid bath.

      Yeah!
      Disney+ is doing it!
      So I'm happy to have the new brand cos now when the show comes out, guess who's already got the hangout? MOI. lmao

    @Anarchist Beauty: I relate. It was so difficult to reconcile JKR the bigot with all the things I'd interpreted as what the HP series stands for. I made a blog post about it.

    That's smart :D
    What are some shows you like that are currently on Disney+? Right now I'm watching Amphibia and Phineas and Ferb.

      @Whimsy: Excellent blog post! 10/10
      It's hilarious to me that her books resonated in the ways you said with so many people and she turned out to be more Voldemort than Dumbledore.
      She is dwelling on her hate instead of learning and growing and moving on from hatred to knowledge and understanding.
      And it really does prove that writers don't always read into their own writing, and you can't tell a person true feelings from the the stories they write.

      I've been into the Marvel shows.
      I've still gotta get to Moon Knight, but WandaVision, Loki, and TFATWS were incredible.
      I've also watched The Mandalorian like four times. lmao
      And I've been going through my old childhood faves.
      The first thing I ever watched after getting D+ is Kim Possible. XD
      And I've watched The Proud Family, started Rolie Polie Olie, watched a few episodes of Little Einstein's.
      I go hard on the kid shows.

    @Anarchist Beauty: Yeah, now I think of it, it IS hilaraious isn't it. Because it's so ironic!
    It's incomprehensible to me that she doesn't read the messages I read in her writing because they seem so clear to me. The only explanation is that all of that was tapestried in the story by accident, not authorial intention, and she doesn't see the picture that emerges even when she reads over her own work. It boggles my mind but it's the only explanation.

    I like the kid shows too! I get a lot of entertainment out of them without ever running into something triggering or really unpleasant.
    I loved Kim Possible as a child so I must rewatch it

      @Whimsy: The lacking self awareness is astounding in that woman. Like over half the fandom got the message and you wrote it and you don't get it? Like???

      Kim Possible was my jaaaam.
      Can't tell you how long I used to have her kimunicator beep as my notification tone. XD
