i’ve made so many cherished memories and friends on here during the past few years that it’d be impossible to talk about them all (it would also be the longest post of all time i think
), but here are some of my fave memories off the top of my head, in no particular order:
- chatting in
@Zura ‘s old giveaway thread in the basement! it was the thread i was most active in when i came back from my hiatus in 2020– navigating the forums was a little overwhelming when i first came back, so it was a nice way for me to see who was active in the community at the time, and also see a couple of familiar faces from during my time on the forums in 2015-16! i even got lucky enough to win the giveaway a couple of times, but mostly i just had fun getting acquainted with everyone in there and talking! i miss that thread (and zura tbh), it was so fun, and so generous of zura to do :’) i also participated in a few other giveaway threads, and all of them were so fun! i actually met some of my most treasured friends on here in them
- i offered a free new horizons crafting service for a few months after the game first came out, and it was honestly a lot of fun! i loved getting to help people out, and it helped me with the crafting nook mile achievement a lot since i usually didn’t craft for myself all that often! i’ve occasionally thought about reviving my crafting thread since i miss it, but there are already some great crafting services being offered by others, so there’s no need c: i’d love to offer some sort of free service again one day, even if it isn’t for crafting or new horizons.
- guessing within 5 of the correct number for one of the citb rounds during last year’s tbt fair! for someone who had the highest math mark in my entire grade when i graduated, i apparently have no idea how to count or estimate how many things are in a jar LOL, and i usually am
way off with my guesses for citb. i didn’t win anything other than event currency for my guess since someone guessed the exact number, but being that close is still one of my fave memories and proudest moments! i nearly passed away when i got the notification that oblivia mentioned me in her post, though
- my amazing friend
@S.J. gifting me a dreamy bear plush
i had said in the “ever had that collectible?” thread that i hadn’t ever had one, and then suddenly there was one in my inventory
i‘ve been shown so many acts of kindness during my time here that i most definitely don’t think i deserve and have no idea how to ever repay, but i am so, so incredibly grateful, and am reminded of how wonderful people can be every time i see that dreamy bear in my inventory :’) i‘m so blessed to have such beautiful friends like s.j. in my life
- every time that i have spectated a gaming livestream on discord! i always have so much fun watching the livestreams and chatting with everyone, and i love how supportive and friendly everyone is! the discord chats during the rare times where i’m playing a game being livestreamed honestly make me a little emotional because of how sweet and supportive everyone always is to me
i only play
mario party superstars, never know what i’m doing and have yet to win a game

i love this community beyond words
- winning my wonderful friend
@SpaceTokki77 ’s purple star frag giveaway! i had never won a giveaway on here before, and the fact that it was hosted by one of my dearest friends just made it even more special to me
it was also during tbtwc when i was a part of the bellflowers (best purple team
), so i thought me winning a purple collectible was so ironic haha
i am so thankful for my dear friend, for my gorgeous star frag, and for the fact that i’ve been able to use it more in lineups lately
- every single time that i’ve somehow placed in or won an event! i’ve won an ocean pearl from 2021 camp bell tree and tied for third place in “tales from our travels”, won a special snowflake during last year’s tbt season of giving event, a rainbow moon from this year’s camp bell tree, and my story for the 2021 winter short story contest made it to community polls, and i am still in disbelief over all of them
- winning a disco ball egg from oblivia’s 12 days of collectibles last year! my very first (and potentially last LOL) tbt raffle win, and even though it’s almost been a year and i’ve designed so many lineups with it, i still check like once a day to make sure it wasn’t a dream

this isn‘t even 1% of my favourite memories, and i’m worried i’ll accidentally offend someone by not mentioning something, but every single one of my forum friends and every single memory that i’ve made is so, so important to me and has gotten me through the past few years, and i am so grateful for everyone and everything

, but here are the ones I can remember:
i wish i couldve participated in camp this year but real life things were very hectic, sadly
