☆｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ About Kijame ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ☆
- FV time +7 hours
- English is not my first language (I'm fluent but sometimes still don't catch subtleties or jokes, bear with me)
- open-minded, but blunt at times (being direct and honest is the best way to deal with things imo)
- quite talkative, if walls of text aren't your thing, remind me if I type too much XD
- not easily offended; I don't usually block people,, because I believe in agreeing to disagree and second chances and talking things over like mature adults should (plus it's easy to get misunderstood online (especially as non-native English speaker))
- not actually a furry (and neither are most my OCs) but I love the art here and treat FV as sort of AU plotwise
- always eager to learn! If I ask you about a word on your profile etc, it's not sarcasm or trolling, but rather genuine curiosity - I want your definition on the word so I know how you understand and use it (rather than googling a generic description that you might not feel proper or applicable)
If you want some cute animals cheering you up/on, clicky here~
Soft'n'cute shit like that always lifts my spirit at least <3

Update Jan 17 So this is taking fucking forever because I can't find patternbooks and blacksmith recipes in stock like, ever. Got me 1k suncoins waiting to be turned into helmets but the smiths who still need to make them for the cheevo can't learn to make them. Rip. :/
Update Jan 25 So we're doing an extra long sidequest by letting literally every AH we have master ALL the Foxbury pets and if letting 40+ AHs master 8 (excluding SRs) is faster than finding 3 of each recipe/book, then yes, even more proof how fucked this restock system is lol.
Update Feb 9/10 Whale oil beef hooked, we did it. SRs nonwithstanding, all our AHs mastered OFB pets. Who'da thunk? We'll be headed to TEP to stock up on TEP mats for bit (because new fluffy costumes whee).
Update Feb 19 A really awesome person has traded a Bone Helmet Schema! So even though we're in TEP atm, we can finish our final goal! Hooray!
As usual we have gathered enough materials for making more costumes but I decided against that for now XD
Date finished: Feb 19th

Oh gosh I feel you. It does feel that when people block over disagreements or honest questions that they just want to live in their own world, and not be open-minded, which in and of itself is a scary thing--but I can kinda understand it, even if I disagree with that notion. It also doesn't really reflect well..
And this, exactly. I am actually pretty scared to ask questions at all anymore, not only because of how many people are eager to attack ignorance/interpret it as an attack or mean gesture, when it really isn't! It's important to hear from a living person who is actively a part of something rather then googling a definition and probably getting one that is biased against them in some form, or is too formal to really comprehend.
The saltiest of sites. It gets kinda intimidating at times </3
Aaa >///< yeah, there are plenty of okay people here too of course! It's like that with every community, you just gotta find the right spots! You're pretty chill too, glad to have met you :3c
ahhhh thank you!! my best friend ryuu_nagi on twitter drew it for me!! <3333 it's probably my favorite art i have ever commissioned, here's the full image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcLL5bLUYAAPNG1.jpg:orig (it's my fursona, not robin like a lot of people thought lol)
Uhu, it is true though! I am 18, turning 19 in less than a month (oH GEE where did the time GO) and yeah, there used to be so many threads about how the block feature was abused. Still probably is but?? I guess that's a personal choice, and bummer that people are effectively shutting one another down. Less discussion can be bad, but I mean there are plenty of perfectly fine reasons to block, so ... -shrugs-
Ah man I hate the thought of having to walk on eggshells just to talk to people :c But don't worry, I prefer to talk rather than abruptly block someone, but then again unless said person is like.. dangerous, I probably won't block. I like to hear dissenting opinions anyhow, because I want to keep an open mind and learn from all kinds of people, just to understand where they come from. Sorry to hear that happened to you though, it seems to be a pretty... popular event here :c
OH GEE LOOKIT THAT
THANK YOU SO MUCH that will be so useful because up until like yesterday I didn't even know the changelog existed and now I can see quickly
No sarcasm taken and thanks again I can sEE better now and not be alerted via 3+ spammed forums about "tHe cHANge"
Ahah, no worries! I had long comments too, and yeah--the real bugger here for me is that they aren't announcing ANY of the changes except in the change log. Like... FV, could you at least pretend to try and communicate? I hate logging on and seeing everyone in an uproar over something, then finding out through threads and complaints before I can find the actual "announcement". I really miss when FV wrote big ol' posts and it was like a headline when you logged on, saying "THIS IS A THING, COME READ ABOUT THE THING" and now it feel like they're just trying to slip it in all sneaky-like. Not a fan, at all. I value communication soooo much, because it just... it's important??? To talk?? To people and sort things out and not just subtly add things and be like "hoo hoo wakey wakey to new thiNGSsss we never even warned you about". I would feel sooo much better if they just.. wrote up a post about what they're planning to implement, and then we all have time to prepare for it, and then see how it goes. Of course, idk about other people but FV staff has had a lot of trouble communicating with me//all my suggestions and questions for help have gone unreplied to my emails. The mods here seem chill, but their emailing system just kinda... :C
And that's the other thing, if they tell us beforehand we can better test it rather than just panic about it!! I would think so!! Because then the people will have been complained-out and calmed down and when it finally implements, people can be like "ok so while at first this sounded horrible, I gotta test it for real now to prove/disprove my point". aaAAa sorry for long reply aha!
cries I know ;w; change is scary but I keep telling myself it isn't always bad, just give it a shot!! But I also just accept crap happens and begin to ignore it and not like I can test any of the new stuff out until I actually get enough wood now oops. So it'll take a few weeks just to properly test anything as I refuse to go to the AH half the time and bboOHOYO I wish they had implemented this stuff earlier. Not barely a month out from release.
uhu yeah my argument isn't that solid, I mean overall the Giving Tree is a good idea...? It just needs some tweaking to get it just right, I think. It's a great concept but like everything, needs just some time to tweak until it feels right ^^
woahoho man, that is an ambitious goal! I feel that I may start putting my failed breeds into the Giving Tree as well, because I just don't have the space anymore, rIP;; but atm have a raffle going, so after that I'll... find somewhere else to release them all. I just don't like the Giving Tree because of the snipers who steal from people who probably need it more, the casual players, because casuals don't stalk it 24/7 </3
Yeahh, I can see that happening... Gh, I don't even know how to help, aha!;; Personally my main goal is just getting painties for the villagers that have bios, but after that, kinda worried about what I'll do here. Looks like you have a lot set up for rp or storytelling though, so that could be fun!
I also feel suuuper bad, as beta testers we're supposed to be testing things but right now I'm just kinda ignoring all the careers that are getting nerfed because... uh... my main income is by playing with the minipets on my villagers every hour. I get around 3k fc per hour from that, and with my breeding, that's how I get the rest of moneys. Not sure what to do half the time ;;
