Sparkles & 10 ugliest items

Hi!

There's finally an underwater item, it's about time...

So sparkly :o Apart from that I find it pretty boring because it's member :c

But I can't complain, there has been a lot of stuff for non-members lately (especially during the Jamaalidays, which I have to catch up on- groaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan)

I don't like trading because when I want a certain item people always run away/lie etc. 

It's so annoying! Finding the actual item is more difficult than actually getting them to accept because people are greedy and want to take advantage of you, making you do an overtrade :c I know it's better to just trade for the item without asking for it but everyone just  has spieakes and founderz on trade :c And in all honesty it's boring, everyone has virtually the same trade lists, I'm not impressed by pixel spiky collars on trade. 

So I have to fish out greedy people instead. Ugh. When an honest person comes along I'm so happy and sometimes give them a little extra for that, being greedy won't get you anywhere! Or at least with me, anyway.

Anyway, rants aside (though there is a rant coming to my YouTube channel today or tomorrow!)

Here's my promised list of the 10 ugliest items in AJ, according to me!

ACCORDING TO ME. NOT YOU, ME. Disagree, or agree- I don't mind, as long as you don't comment with a full-blown rant about how much of an idiot I am to consider certain rarez ugly -_-

Not my problem. Not at all.

Animal Jam's 10 Ugliest Items

What were the artists thinking?

10- Glitched Ring (Summer 2013, briefly sold)

Eww, this is disgusting- enough said. Come on. Wanna wear an eye on your paw? Okay. Go ahead. Don't come to me if you get nightmares though. Everyone knows the story of the Glitched Ring. For those that don't, it was sold in Summer 2013, when the turquoise ring first came out. At the time,there were only two colours- both are now ''rur''. The first one is less known and very hard to distinguish between its very similar cousin. However, this one... oh eww. I bought it when it was first on sale, tried it on, then thought to myself- ''oh, eww. This is ugly. It looks like an eye. Nope.'' then I recycled it. If you want a nice ring, go buy one from Epic Wonders. The colours are much nicer than this freaky thing.

9- Dragon Glove (Monthly Member Gift June 2011- Golden counterpart given in June 2012 <3)

The <3 next to June 2012 is because I have so many good memories from that time. Sorry TuT I should make a post about the whole concept of MMGs. No, a separate page. Yar :3 I don't know! Anyway. I don't like the look of those gloves. They're so weird and bulky and don't really look good :c They look quite cool on crocodiles and on bunnies (but everything looks good on bunnies). Apart from that, not a fan. Sorry glove :c

8- This wonderful selection of store items

They don't have their own slots because there wouldn't be enough space. Anyway, I don't like those- they look so weird DX I forgot to add the mammoth tusks, but you get the idea- some store items are pretty darn weird and ugly. Especially the shoes (shudders)

7- Eyeball Hat

Eww. I don't like this item- it's scary! The 'beta' one especially because of it's freaky colour scheme- how the 'beta' hat came to be is debated, was it sold for a short amount of time? The most commonly believed theory is that it was given by AJHQ to a few select Jammers during Hallowe'en 2010, maybe it was a prize? Back then AJHQ used to visit Jamaa, and sometimes they hosted games/ contests- perhaps that was a prize? Who knows? Anyway, I don't like eyeball hats, in my opinion the order of ugliness is, from most to least...

1.2012-2014 eyeball hats (eww)

2.2010 eyeball hat/beta eyeball hat

3.2011 eyeball hats!

I admit, it's cute & comical when two people wearing those sit together :3

I honestly don't know why someone would want to trade for a 'beta' eyeball hat, apart from to show off/ trade for more stuff :/ Some people like to wear it, and that's fine ^o^

6-  Tiki Mask/ Mask

Meh,I'm not a fan of tiki masks. In 2014, around the time of the eagle adventure, I managed to get my hands on one (I don't have it right now). They're not very attractive and don't really look good with.. well... most outfits, to be honest. If you can find an outfit that this mask looks good with, congrats c:

5- Clown Mask (Hallowe'en)

Oh, what is that even. This is just scary. Who in their right mind would even wear this... thing? Except for Hallowe'en of course. No, just no. The hair, the eyes, the nose, and the DARN MOUTH. I can't stand to look at this anymore. Goodbye.

4- Yeti Face

A pretty strange item, the Yeti Face looks weird o-o There's a glitched version, which is quite similar to the glitched ring if you look at the backstory. It's just not a pretty item (in my opinion). End of story :3

3- Beard

Small, ugly... but in some outfits, it doesn't look THAT bad, but it doesn't stop it from being an ugly item anyway XD

Once extremely rare (the rarest item in the game used to be the orange beard), the beard isn't worth that much now- not even a spiked wristband in some cases.  What used to be fairly weird was when a female player, wearing a feminine outfit, would wear a beard PURELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOWING OFF. It wasn't ALWAYS the case, but when it was- I thought AJ was about expressing YOUR style? Not showing off some pixels? (Rares aren't even THAT difficult to get, as long as you have a few extra hours to spare for going on the computer every day) 

2- Hat & Beard

Cute? Certainly. Pretty? Maybe not so. Great for Christmas, not so beyond. Doesn't look great (in my opinion), but some people manage to find a way to squeeze this item into a good outfit ^o^ 

1- Frankenstein Mask

This... is not beauty. Fab costume, not so fab outfit. As with the Hat & Beard, might be squeezed into an outfit- but otherwise, I don't like this item so much, but it looks cute on bunnies and I like the lightning bolt.

Of course, those are not the only ugly items on Animal Jam. Here are just some items worthy of a mention-

Most other Hallowe'en Masks

Spooky.

Rhino Helmet, though it looks cute on bunnies :3

Spieaks

Anyway,  before I close off- sign up to beta test the plushie store in the making! You will receive a Jamagram like this:

Thank you and bye :3

Inflated Hummingbird

Reminder: CleverQueen is going on vacation on Wednesday,20 August and will be back between 8-11 September. This means there will be no posts on the AJR, unless I want to post and I have the chance. Sorry Jammers!

Hey!

I'm so sorry for a late post today, but at least I'm still posting, right?

Right!

Today's new item is in the Summer Carnival, another balloon hat!

This time it's a hummingbird.

Hmm, I guess this is my favourite balloon hat so far! The price isn't bad- clocks in at only 2,000 tickets. I assume that if this was a 2012 item, it would have sold for around 8000-10,000 tickets O-o

The new video today is in Tierney's Aquarium, about seahorses!

:OOO

Seahorses are just fabulous!

Don't you love seahorses? :3

I'm sorry to all my rant-lovers, but today's side-topic isn't a rant T^T

Well I can't rant every day, it makes me look ungrateful and depressed O_O

Then will come in the comments like:

''omg if u no liek dis gam get of then geez yolo swag''

''ok can u stop komplayng abot rarez and dat u dont care liek if u dont care give me ur rarez plzzz ps i want ur neon bow most''

''can u stop becuz dis blog is just saaaad''

Yup.

-_-

Oh look! A non-member fox! 

What's the side-topic? I hear you ask.

Well, just blog arrangements and stuff.

First off, fomar

Could you please comment to arrange a trade in AJR time please? It would help a lot if you specified what plushie/s you want and what you are willing to trade. You can comment on this post, the trading station or the plushie store page.

I'm so sorry for not being available lately to trade with you!

Eyetoypuffx

Of course you can beta test the next store! However, I think the next store is going to be available once I'm back from vacation in September. Sorry about that, but don't worry- you will still get to be a beta tester!

The poll has been closed today!

The results will be up on the 'Your Thoughts' page tomorrow along with a new poll that will last 2 weeks. Once that poll is over, paws crossed I can put up another! ^-^

Next, does anyone have page ideas? I'm thinking of having a little chat page for Jammers to communicate together (much easier than chatting in comments,you don't have to get on AJ, it's easier to reach certain Jammers and lots more benefits!)

I don't know, but maybe I could have graphic/banners for sale? I can make some pretty nice things... I might test it out for a bit before I go on vacation. I don't know.

That's it for today; stay safe, have a splendid Saturday and have fun!

Attention Flamingos

Hello!
Eh, I feel tired today o.e
The ice-cream parlour collection is over T^T. However, there's something new over at the Summer Carnival!

O_O

It's supposed to be a flamingo.

I hope they make a non-member balloon hat any time soon! cx

2,000 tickets- not bad! 2012's Summer Carnival prices were CRAZY. 

(Credit to the Animal Jam Spirit Blog)

Following the lollipop necklace through the years...

2012- 10,000 tickets

2013- 4,000 tickets

2014-2,000 tickets

You can find the new video over at Tierney's Aquarium, telling you all about this thing called 'Sea Glass'

Wow, I'm certainly going to watch that when I have a spare moment. It seems beautiful!

Do you remember when I still checked on the activities calendar? Well, I guess I won't abandon that idea completely ^-^

There's nothing new today, though.

Anyway!

The plushie stores are running smoothly again, so don't forget to pay them a visit at any time to see if there's a plushie you're after! Every time a plushie is sold, a new plushie is put in its place- I try to keep the den full at all times. I'm thinking of creating more special plushie stores soon, and more regular stores should come soon too! Then, maybe I might make 'bunny-only' stores, and so forth cx

There is also a new branch of stores- toy stores! Pay the new 'Toy Stores' page a visit to learn more, and visit the first toy store to see if there's one of those cute, collectible action figures you're after in there! 

Guess what time it is?

-checks watch-

Duh, it's RANT TIME!!!

Just to clarify, I'm not going to rant every day O_O

There's just something annoying I want to speak up about in today's post, and that thing is...

ATTENTION SEEKING.

It's everywhere!

People sleeping in the middle of a crowded land wanting attention, and that's really annoying. Not to mention, really ungrateful >.>

Now, do you really want to have no parents?

Do you really want to be in hospital with a life-threatening fever?

Well, okay, I'm going to be fair. People role-play about those things, and I guess that's fine to an extent since it gives characters more developed stories and stuff. 

But what ISN'T fine, is when people say things like;

''Plz send me rares i have no parents''

Uh, that's no reason for us to give our pixel-items to you. Besides, how will rares help you? :/

Sure, they might make you happy for a while but not happy enough to overcome being that sad :L

''donate plz im in hospital with a rare illness''

Okay, that just makes no sense. Pixels can't cure your illness :/ It's no fun to be in hospital with a rare illness, because you don't know what's going on and if you're ever going to be normal. How can you use something like that to get attention, I don't know O_O

''my mom broke her leg and idk if she's gonna make it plz donate''

Most stupid thing EVER. First, can you even die from a broken leg? The leg alone, no O_O 

Next, pixels won't help.

Finally, WHY AREN'T YOU WITH YOUR MOM LIKE RIGHT NOW? *O*

I just hate attention seekers. Okay, when you're role-playing you can make up all sorts of crazy stories about your character. Even though some RP attention seeking annoys me too :P

For instance, in schools everyone is suddenly the good kid that does everything perfectly and yada yada yada >:O

And when trying to get a virtual family everyone is a homeless abandoned cute magical rare whatever baby. XD

What isn't fine though, is when people lie about their real lives. To get attention.

They should be grateful they have a home, safe water, food and a computer, really. They should.

However, they lie about not having those things just to get attention!

:T

''omg im in hospital and i will die in 2 seconds omg help me plzzz''

Being in hospital isn't exactly something you want to lie about, take my word for it 0_0

What else I don't like is when people think that me saying ' rares are just pixels' automatically translates to 'everyone I don't care about rares I don't even care they exist everything I have is free just ask for it'

NO, IT DOESN'T.

I got my rares for a reason- just because I'm not obsessed with them doesn't mean they are free! I still like them and they aren't free >:o

Now then, that's it! ^-^

Just a video for all of you :D

It's about the update, all summed up into under 15 minutes :P

By the way, I do not have a YouTube channel and don't plan on having one right now.

That's it for now, see you around Jamaa! :3

-***Scroll down for possible information about x!***-

I'm sure we can agree this bench looks messy to sit on...

Hello! ~(\(◕◡◕)(\~
First of all, one of my plushie stores, GreenDreams, got hacked O_O
I don't know how, the password isn't too easy to guess but not too hard, either. I suppose somebody just guessed it :L
Thankfully, nothing is gone BUT the look of my seal was changed (I changed it back) and I found some Jamagrams saying 'You're mean!'. :(
So... the hacker most likely reads the Animal Jam Rainbow and is intent on ruining my reputation.
What I think happened is that they guessed the password (I changed it now, because it wasn't a very good password)  and then they started being rude to people. I just hope they didn't say who I am ;-;
If you were recently bullied by GreenDreams, please be aware that it was not me.
I changed the password now, so hopefully this won't happen in the future :D
Anyway, today's new item adds on to the ice-cream parlour collection;

I'm quite sure it's Sundae, not Sunday O-o

BUT IT'S MEMBER! T^T 

They could have at least made the giant cone or topping dispenser thing non member :T

(\(◡-◡)(\

Oh well!

The new video can be found in Sarepia Theatre.

Hmm, the word 'weirdest' did successfully lure me to watch this video. Hang on as I watch it!

Before video: ~(⚆◡⚆)~?

During video: ~(◕◡◕)~!

After video:~(❂•❂)~!!

That IS one weird monkey. Heh. Big nose :3

Anyway, I haven't checked my plushie stores for ages O-o

Thankfully, nobody was left hanging waiting for service. 

I want to inform you all that;

☛ Plushie stores are open 24/7, so no matter what time zone you're in you can always come in to take a look ⦿W⦿

☛ If the store is offline, feel free to send a Jamagram once you find something you like.

☛The stores are currently being checked daily and all Jamagrams will be responded to.

☛ As of 12/08/2014 there are 5 plushie stores. 

☛greendreams,cyanstar2014,hypergem and weirdjoy stock mostly regular and some special plushies. 

☛ tinypotatoes stocks only special and harder-to-get plushies. Please note this does not include Sidekix plushies. The plushies you can find are plushies with accessories and plushies such as arctic wolves, lions and giraffes. This store also sells phantom plushies. Please ask to see the phantom plushies and to arrange a trade ^-^

☛A toy store is being worked on and is going to be a separate thing from plushie stores.

Okay, so err.... ∙3∙

Time for a bit of ranting!

Put your party hats on everyone! :D

MAILTIME.

Just to clarify, real mailtimes do exist. They are often done on YouTube where fans willingly

send mail and stuff to whoever they admire and then, if there is enough mail, all of it is opened on camera. I suppose the fun part is seeing what kind of mail someone gets, or seeing their reaction to your mail, or getting a little famous :P

Anyway, this whole mailtime craze on Animal Jam was started by Julian2, probably one of the most famous Jammers out there UoU

Basically, Julian2's fans started sending him Jamagrams and gifts, and then it kinda evolved into something where people sent gifts (sometimes really good rares, and videos with those became really popular) to see them being opened on camera.

Pretty harmless,right? :T

Nope. Not so fast.

Even Julian's original mailtime is flawed. 

Here's why. (BECAUSE I'M HAAAAAAAPPPYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!)

✺ Julian discards most gifts without even looking at the message. It's the thought that's meant to count, but to me it seems like Julian eventually only cares about rare gifts. In some videos, he didn't even respond to the message and discarded a LOT of gifts. Okay, the discarding part I understand- inventory's full. It would have been a tad bit nicer to send it back though :T

✺ He over-reacts I-I  Come on, the reaction I would give to a founders' hat in my mail is  less extreme than the reaction Julian gave to a spiked wristband. Basically, of course Julian's happy but some of those reactions are a bit over the top- it's just PIXELS. :O

✺ Mailtime is now just pointless- it's more for the gifts than the words of kindness, and that kind of just makes mailtime pointless. Not to mention the endless 'ADD ME' 'BUDDY ME' Jamagrams.

A lot of people now just use mailtime to beg for rares, and most don't even make videos.

Ok that's weird XD

Yup

UoU

Speaking of videos...

Here's my first video :O

And I'm talking.

Explaining the video schedule thing and everything.

See you tomorrow, and Jam on! :3
