Animal Jam Scammer Watch: Well, I think it's time...
Do you know who firetigerx is? I didn't, until I joined AJSWS. But you should know her. She deserves to be known.
She is the one who kickstarted the anti-scamming campaigns, who has been catching scammers since 2011 (4 years ago).
She, like every other scam catcher, deserves to be known. She is probably the most well-known scam catcher of all.
But she is retiring now, at age 18. I understand how she feels to be playing a 'kid's game'.

What a sad announcement for 'To Be Announced Tuesday'.

The 10 Dollar Thought Experiment
This might be an interesting name for an experiment. Who knows? Anyways, if you want a little preview, here's how it started:
I came up with it later than you might think. Yesterday, in fact. Since my school has plenty of shops around it, a cafeteria, and other places to goad you into -I mean worthwhile- to spend your money at, my parents decided to hand me some money to 'put to good use' (translation: spend it on food. Hey, they have good food there!). My parents aren't the allowance type; rarely do I have money to spend. My mom handed me 10 dollars, decreeing that I better not spend all of it by the end of the month.
So this led me thinking: do people spend more money if it is in 1 bill (10 dollar bill), or in loose change (coins, etc)? Or does it even matter?
Just a bit of food for thought.

Watch this! (The Butterfly Dragon)
https://youtu.be/bAQ56_dfOfY
It's a really beautiful animation, and the background music is perfect.
My interpretation of it (I know someone already posted something like this, but this is my version)
The small dragon (assuming it's female) is still a child, and the butterfly represents time, or experiences. The mother wakes up and watches the child, but she doesn't spend time to play with her, or enjoy the time they have left before the child turns into an adult. When the child follows the butterfly to the cliff, it turns into a dragon on the other side, representing an adult. The child is unsure of the transition between childhood and adulthood, and when she jumps and falls, that could represent the rocky time in-between. The dragon rescues her, and gives her a mask to make. When the child puts a paw on the mask, and draws on it, it could mean 'looking through the world with new eyes'. The child then returns to the mother, 'grown up', and gives her a mask as well. The mask could mean that the child wants her mother to look through the world as she does, but the mother doesn't realize that the child has 'grown up'. The child then turns into the butterfly dragon (representing an adult), and flies away, while the mother looks on, regretting the time that they haven't spent together.

Hmm... perhaps a bacon alternative for vegetarians?

Infernal Devices ~ New Covers!
I just found the new covers for the Infernal Devices! It's an awesome series, you should go read it if you can (it's teen).
Looking at Jem (he's the one playing the violin) just breaks my heart...

Graystripe x Silverstream
Graystripe x Silverstream is one of my favourite Warrior Cat couples; unfortuantely, it ends in tragedy.
Graystripe belongs to Thunderclan, while Silverstream is in Riverclan. Relationships between clans are forbidden, but they still try to stay together. However, Silverstream dies when she gives birth to their kits.
This video almost made me cry;
It's a sad video (the voice acting though!) but it's quite beautiful as well.
Anyways, it made me think of this song: Stay With Me By: Danity Kane
It's perfect for them ;-; I'll try to make an animation about them when I can (learn how to animate, and do it correctly), but that will probably take some years from now.

Happy Autumn Equinox!
As you might know, this year, September 23 is the Autumn Equinox. The
Equinox is when all of the world equally gets 12 hours of day and
night, due to revelation around the Sun (which I just learned in my
Socials class, plus a whole bunch of other stuff about mapping). In
other words, today is the last day of summer, but tomorrow is the first
day of autumn. Something to celebrate, I guess, but other than that,
just a random little fact.

Updates + Fact Friday
Animal Jam
Lynxes are here! To be honest though, they look like cubs. I would prefer them to have the same lengthened shape as snow leopards. Oh, well, you gotta make with what you have. They're also member, available in the Diamond Shop for 10 diamonds. I would really wish for one member animal to be turned non-member, because there hasn't been one, in, 4 years?! Sea turtles were released in 2011, so.............................. *silence*. Also, Summer Carnival is leaving! Everything's at discount price, and I haven't been to it, so I guess I'd better hurry up.
Flight Rising
Peregine Gene is here, along with new level 8 recipies with Baldwin! I'm really excited for Starfall Celebration. If I wasn't in Light Flight, I would've chosen Arcane. I'm half/half, a dreamer, logical, philosophical, loves the allure mysterious things, imaginative, and unbiased. If I could've joined another flight, I would've done it. See what flight you're in here!
Personally, I think Arcane's Realm is the most beautiful. Starwood Strand is... gorgeous. I'm going to make a new skin for the celebration. I would make an accent as well, provided I know how much 60% is on the screen :P
Chicken Smoothie
The staff are having an amazing time trying to troll us with their secret messages. This is my first Staff Litter, and I think this time must be the most chaotic! Check out our musing on this thread; hints and trollings will be dropped by staff as well; *click*
I loved the previous years' staff pets; especially the ones with major line edits!
Warrior Cats
Haha, I know this was uncalled for, but I LOVED this series. You guys should totally check out this MAP; it's literally the perfect intro to the series, if they ever made a animation!
Fact Friday
First one!
Did you know that a flock of crows is called a murder? Bone-chilling! I guess it's because they're scavengers.
