I know, you're beginning to wonder what's happened to the others - well.... I don't know but I took over the blog for a while until someone from them has something to say xD
Anyways, today turned out to be a good day over on FairyABC because ... we made a Kimono Squad Day!
We were goofing off as per usual and decided to do it in the newest part of the Hollow - The Moon Festival meadow created by the Chinese co-creator of the game. Just as we were all enjoying ourselves a fairy flew in ( River if I'm not mistaken - If I am sorry o.o ) saying she made a kimono.
Then we all ran from store to store to create our own!
Now we're just calling each other Kimono Squad and let me tell you everyone looks amazing now.
Here's how I look like:
Also, take a look at our squad:
We're still on - well most of us anyways and are currently in Palm Tree Cove.
I still don't know how this happened to be honest, but it's so much fun and I love being a part of a different culture as a fairy.
I think I did a great job with the kimono I'm wearing too!
Anyways, I also wanted to dedicate this post to all my fellow Asian players as well as the Asian creator.
I wanted to say how beautiful and special your culture and world are. Your side of the planet is truly unique and I'd love to see it one day with my own eyes.
And now, I'd like to ask you dear readers - what is your favorite part of the Asian culture? Why do you like or perhaps why don't you like it so much?
Answer in the comments below!
Why I like this culture you ask? Well -
LIKE BECAUSE:
1. Amazing bands, traditional music & instruments.
2. Amazing clothes & unique ones as well
3. Holidays I wish we celebrated too because they're so good and the traditions while they're on are also awesome!
4. The languages which are challenging are also beautiful and powerful. I love Chinese, studied it as well and I still wanna keep improving.
5. Amazing landscape, monuments and cities. I have got to visit some in the future ( when I make my own money that is cx )
6. The food - everything's made of rise or includes rise as a side dish. Some street food seems weird and probably has a bad taste, but I do believe it's at least healthy and from what I've seen street food there compared to the American and European ones is like a 1000 times healthier.
~ I HAVE NO DISLIKES WHATSOEVER ~
Hope you liked my little dedication to the East side of the planet!
Nah...I've just been busy with other things and didn't really have time to post - I've been around other pixies' blogs though by commenting and participating in events such as the Pixie Hollow Games 2016.
Okay so as you've all noticed by now the font of the posts' text has changed. I decided it had to be different from the title font and this one was spot-on.
Now, the other thing I'd like to remind everyone of is that tonight will be the Animal Masquerade Ball night over on Worlize.
I don't know when aka what time though because the hostess failed to mention it in her post for the date change. I suppose you should keep checking to see if anyone's on and you'll know If it's started or not.
And....
I also wanted to dedicate this post to the recent change of seasons from summer to autumn! Yeah, I know some ( if not most ) of you hate autumn because for some school starts then but hey think of it as the season where one of the most amazing changes of nature occurs. Leaves change from green to amazing color nuances of red, orange, yellow and purple. It's truly magical especially if you have a home with a view of a nearby hill or mountain.
I think this last picture shows how magical autumn truly is.
As for me - I like autumn not just because of the colors it brings with it, but also because of two special holidays my friends celebrate ( unfortunately where I'm from we don't celebrate them) - Thanksgiving Day and Halloween.
Speaking of Halloween - I love the treats kids get during that festivity, and I love how kids get so creative just for that special occasion with their various costumes and sometimes I wish we had it here too - but where I'm from we have another holiday as you all do where we again wear masks and that's April Fools Day.
That's kind of like Halloween except the masks aren't all spooky. You still can dress yourself like a mummy or a reaper but it's not all like that.
It's a fun holiday where people play pranks on each other - but we gather in masks and we just have fun outside.
Anyhow, I made a banner for this special occasion which is located on the top of this post.
I want to wish you all a happy and successful school year, and a very magical autumn.
Also, If you should get the chance, plant some sleepy flower bulbs - I read this from Marigold's Musings and she makes a good point it's the best time to plant some specific flowers that will grow and evolve during the other seasons. Look around the wide web for ideas on what to plant. I don't even know If I'll do it personally, but I'd like to even though I have no garden I still have a balcony.
So, I'm going to go now and remember - autumn is magical no matter what!
I flew by to inform you that from now on this blog has an official Facebook page!!
It's exciting isn't it?? I'm eeking myself still.
I was thinking about it for a long while, and I just now figured out how to sync the Wordpress blog to the Facebook page so I decided to give it a go.
The page is The Pixie Diaries - same as the blog itself. You can easily keep updated from there too! Whenever there's a new post it'll automatically come over there from Wordpress!
I hope you'll give it a like!
Also a little tip - the learn more button which is blue and rectangular right under the page's banner is actually a link to the blog! Click it to see the blog and read news from there - or click the Facebook posts and they'll redirect you to the blog posts too.
Well, that's all for now and I'll be adding a button for it on the homepage! Stay around for that!
So as you all already heard FairyABC - known to us all as Pixie Hollow is now updated!
That's right, and here's a list of the things you'll see below - but before we head to that I want to explain something shortly because I'm gonna make a video on it and post it within this post in a bit. I already made a video preview of the update which needs to be edited - so I'll leave two blank spots over here until they're done and once they are the links which turn into players will be provided down below at the end of this post.
Okay so, here's what you need to know before anything else I mention.
There is a whole new game-play system now that requires you to use real emails in order to complete your signup process.
Here's why: When you sign up you're asked for your email and to type a code for security reasons and then when you click to continue the site known as FairyABC Forum sends you a confirmation link via the email.
That's right...smart move there FABC crew! Now there won't be tons of accounts because we can't use fake emails anymore.
However, the old way still exists, but without the update. So, in order to join us all in the new and improved Pixie Hollow you'll need to recreate your account & fairy/sparrowman one last time - that's also right after this if any future changes should happen your accounts aka fairies/sparrowmen WILL NOT be deleted as it was till now, thanks to this new playing system I mentioned.
I have one more fairy - Jade the frost talent that needs to be created. So, I will use that opportunity to show you how to make your account and for now I'm just going to provide you with the link to the new page:
There you can sign up easily - but still I'll do a short clip so you don't get lost and/or confused.
Let's move on then shall we?
As I mentioned above these are the things that have come back so far:
1. The two new shops
We all knew there were two new shops coming our way but we only knew one's name for certain - The Queen's Boutique.
Well, the other one's Gale's Outfitters!
Now, in the boutique you can't mix & match, there's only pre-made aka pre-matched outfits available, but they're combinations of everything that you can find over in Gale's Outfitters.
Summit Style basically became the Basics Shop from a long time ago in the original Pixie Hollow, so now the 'modern & new' clothes shop is Gale's. And yes, the admins are aware that it's in the wrong meadow but who even cares, it's back that's what matters the most!
2. Two surprise additions
There was no word from anyone that this was going to happen as the admins and Wind themselves weren't sure yet - or it might've been just so they could use the element of surprise.
If it was the second case then:
Anyhow, the first surprise was the return of the -drum rolls- > Ballroom!
Now, before you ask why I'm actually outside and not inside - because I'm showing it to you via the video and I don't wanna spoil that.
And another thing, you need to click the symbols of the places now so you enter. For leaving them - where there are exit signs try the pointing arrow and if that doesn't work click the name of the meadow it leads to.
The other surprise that made a comeback is the Tearoom!
I also didn't take a picture of the inside of it because again it's in the video. ( which I'll get back to as soon as I'm done with this post. 😆 )
Furthermore, I'd like to inform you that the mini games known as Crazy Cakes & Two for Tea have not returned. But hey, better something than nothing right?
3. Meadow decor
As well as getting new places to hang out at, we got cool new meadow looks! The meadows now match autumn weather and looks and also they have Animal Masquerade ( aka Halloween ) decor everywhere.
Here, take a look at some of the decor!
Neat isn't it?
What's more, there are new meadows who might come our way.
When I talked with Wind a while back he told me that they've been working on something and the recent removal of Frosty Forest makes me personally think that it has something to do with making a Winter Forest - like meadow aka realm.
Now imagine if this happens, it'd be so cool!
Well, there you go, we've reached the end of this post.
But, don't worry you're yet to see my videos on this update aka: the preview video and the sign-up explanation video.
Here you'll find them as they become available over on Youtube via TheMix - my channel.
* Pixie Hollow - New Update Preview Clip!
* Sign-up for the new version of FairyABC - Clip!
_____________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT UPDATE!!
I recently found myself unable to access the game so I asked the nice admins from the FairyABC Facebook page about it and one of them told me that the 'main server not available' problem is actually not a problem at all.
Turns out, the server is refreshing itself every half an hour ( or 45 minutes tops ) and then it restarts and comes back online again - every single day. I find this a good thing though so If you run into that just wait it out - do something else in the meantime 😉
So, this past week I've been active around as well as in FairyABC and I really need to address a problem that seems to have everyone's attention right now.
An admin of FABC has already expressed her opinion about it over on the official Facebook page.
Right now however, it's my turn to express mine.
Even in the old Pixie Hollow there was one thing everyone was against - drama. Its roots come from there. Recently, it's been around more and more.
And this is bad.
Right now you'd probably wanna know why.
Well, I'll try to be short and explain my thoughts on the matter and finally share some TPD - related news - good ones of course.
The reason why drama is bad is because it causes people to be under stress and to be nervous for one thing. On another note, it causes conflict between those who find pleasure in doing this and those who are being bothered by it and are against it.
I for one am against it.
There has been all kinds of drama on FairyABC lately - the most recent case was racism - related.
A very nice fairy had to go through being insulted just because she has a different color of skin than the rest of us. I will not say who, out of respect but I will say that this is unacceptable.
Also all that teasing and making others feel uncomfortable and even scared at some point is called cyber bullying.
It's a very serious matter - something you shouldn't play with at all.
I also agree with everything the previously mentioned admin of the facebook page of FABC Harmony said in her post.
They're -whether we like it or not- some sort of law in the FABC lands. They're of course not real police officers or something but they do have a job - to keep FairyABC and its players aka us safe. That means that when you get a warning from their end to stop doing something it's not because they hate you, it's simply because you're doing something wrong even though you consider it right.
These people aka fairies are here to check around to see how we're doing and how we're enjoying Wind's work for him, because he's too busy earning money to keep this up.
Do we really wanna destroy his image of a perfect, safe and kid-friendly environment for this game?
Do we really want to make him go as far as bringing even tougher measures than the ban button in-game?
I don't think we do.
But, I do believe that sometimes there's people who don't know that what they're doing is wrong. Here I do believe a warning is also in order but also a second chance.
As for those who literally overdid it - trust me I've witnessed a few cases - they need to be banned. They're either small kids who are bored and cause a mess just for fun or some adult-ish players who just overuse the strong languauge ( cussing ).
Personally I'm in the second category and yes I tend to say "lmao" or "lmfao" or "I'm gonna kms", but I've never and I will never hurt someone's feelings just because they can't or won't use the same language as me or tease them to irritate them because they won't like it. I'm not the type of person to find it funny when someone feels horrible because of my actions.
You all shouldn't be that kind of person either.
I'd like to ask of you to please please PLEASE stop spreading drama and bad feelings in the game and out of it.
If you're unhappy or bored don't ruin someone else's day because of that.
Keep the game a family-friendly environment and DO NOT USE offensive words or cuss if you don't want to get in trouble with the admins and the Pixie Pals members.
And now, the cheerful news part.
From now on you can find all the stories - long and short over on WATTPAD!
That's right and I've already posted some of the stories there too! Go check them out - the username is @mtrainpanda and the Wattpad is signed as ThePixieDiaries and it has a profile picture of Juniper so you'll know its this blog's department there.
I really hope you like this new feature and hope you have a shimmerific day/night!
p.s. Click this image to get to the Wattpad profile of TPD!
I noticed there are are a lot of pixies who use Pinterest, so I decided our blog should have a social department as well.
However, I decided to be unique. 😏
By unique, I mean using a platform that I came across a while ago and that's WeHeartIt.
You can find me by searching for the following username: @mtrainpanda - or by clicking on the symbol I made which is on the homepage of this blog.
The Blogger version of TPD has a follow me button which is a widget from WeHeartIt themselves which will redirect you via a new tab straight to my profile.
The profile is under the name Juniper, so you can tell who made it. 😛
Anyways, I really hope you'll like what you see there - I promise to keep it kid-friendly and to put - or repost a lot of Pixie Hollow -related things.
I've already put some things in some groups so you should go check that out.
Also, over on Pixie Hollow's Little Secrets there's an update on the post about the newest FairyABC update.
Turns out the Hollow will be all prepped to look like it always has when it's Halloween and Animal Masquerade and the clothes will be finally put in their rightful stores!
I can't confirm anything else for now, but you should definitely go check Crystal Airshine's post about it.
As soon as I hear from either her or my Pixie Pals colleagues about something new or maybe even the admins themselves when I come across someone online on FABC I'll let you all know.
For now I'm leaving you and flapping my wings to other things that require my attention over in the Mainland.
HEY GUYS, THE FAIRY OF THE SHINING SUN IS WITH YOU ALL AGAIN!
Just kidding
Today, I’m here to let you all know that the blog’s new look is almost fully complete but there are things that are still in progress of being made and I hope you’ll love them!
One of these things are renaming the Gallery tab into Harmony’s Camera Roll and adding a new tab by yours truly – I’m not telling what that’s gonna be about it’s a surprise
You’ll see it in a few minutes since I’m working on it right now!
The other thing I wanted to discuss with you is related to FairyABC. I know you all were expecting the new update yesterday, but after speaking to fellow Pixie Pals members and after a visit to the official FairyABC page – I discovered that this update will take a few days to appear.
It’s fine though, as long as it works out like it’s supposed to and I just wanted to let you know that the clothes that appeared a few days ago were an accident. They were a part of the upcoming update, but something happened that made them appear ahead of time.
So, all in all if FairyABC is down when you try going on it, that means they’re applying the update.
Also, do you like the blog’s new look? As I said, we’re still working on it but so far we’ve added flaptastic things to the home page and we’ve changed our looks!
It’s autumn themed and we all posed in our best autumn outfits for it!
Now, on behalf of everyone I want to wish you a good and fruitful school year and remember we’ll always be around!
Now, I’m heading back to working on my special tab!
