>Salty's Amino Journey<

Hello again friends, aquaintances, and strangers.

I'm back again for something slightly similar to a past post but not quite. It's going to have some "thank-yous," but mostly reflection on everything I have accomplished since I ed this Amino. It always seems so insignificant until you step back and realize that thousands of people know your name. Its..... mystifying.

So now, without further adieu, enjoy my entry to the Amino and Me Challenge. It was worth the 4 hours of writing it took to make.

Why I ed - August 2017

There isn't any particular reason to why I ed, other than I wanted to find other SVTFOE fans to bond with. It's strange to think I the exact moment too. It was the second day of my vacation and I was browsing for apps related to Star when I found the app for "SVTFOE Amino." I had never heard of Amino before, didn't even know it was a social media site. But I decided to give it a go anyway, being that there wasn't much to do in my hotel room And the rest is history.

My first posts - August 11th 2017

I know the very first posts I made were character descriptions and polls, but my first real creative piece of work was a collection of character heads I made using Autodesk Sketchbook on my phone. This was not too many days after I had ed the Amino, and at the time I was very proud of my work. I never thought of myself as an artist, in fact I thought I was one of the worst out there. But this place gave me motivation and hope, and for that, I can't thank it enough.

Posts I am proud of - November 7th 2017

I don't have to be a genius to realize the reason I've gotten where I am today. If you know me, I'm sure you know what I mean when I say "Starnapped." It was my first fanfiction I had ever written, and the most successful piece of writing I have ever written, to this day.

I can't give abbie, if you are reading this, thank you oh so much for your wonderful suggestion in the comment thread of that post, and for being a massive motivator for me to continue writing. Really, I haven't given you enough credit ;3

Posts I plan to make - Future

A new year, means a new plan. A new perspective, a new life. I have made a variety of promises to myself, a list of resolutions to help me through 2018. And Amino is a massive part of this list. While not everything on this list has something to do with Amino, it will greatly affect my future here, so I thought you people should be the first to learn its meaning.

Now, I have been on SVTFOE Amino for 153 days, a time in which I have posted 47 times. In the future I plan to post my story chapters more frequently, me being able to manage my time better due to my lack of homework. I have always wanted to be an artist, something I know can only be achieved my months, possibly years of practice. And I plan to do just that.

Expect to see more from me overall, if all things go well, or at least more quality content in the months to come.

Challenges

Now while I have only participated in two challenges, this one not included, I have had countless hours of fun participating in them. The first challenge I tried my hand in was the

Hamilton Crossover Challenge.

Overall, I was very proud of my entry to this challenge, it eventually earning an honorable mention in the final results.

The second challenge I participated in was the

25 Days of Kindness Challenge.

I ed this challenge 1 day before my welcoming into the Kindness Club, the hoster of the challenge. After the month was over, it came to the fact that I was the only one to completely finish the challenge. I was very proud of this fact, but gladly helped distribute the prizes to the other winners of the challenge. It was very fun drawing the sketch for 1st place, something I would gladly do again if I was asked to!

Muses

muse

noun: a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.

Now that that is out of the way, let's see...who would I consider in this Amino to be my inspiration? Well, there are two main people I choose to put into that category, one being an inspiration in the art department, and another for writing.

TheWriterGirl

Starry

You motivated me when I thought nobody would, gave me pointers, inspiration, hope. Not only did you help me with my writing, but your beautiful art was the sole reason I began to make my own art. Seeing how much you improved made me realize that art ability was not always something you were born with, but something you learn and grow over time. Thank you for that.

WriterGirl

I know you probably don't know me, but I certainly know you. I love your writing, and I aspire to be like you one day, seriously. When you commented on my post, no joke, I squealed. I am a huge fan of yours. Thank you for your continued , honestly it means the world to me. Keep on writing, and I'll follow close behind.

Friendships

By far the greatest thing I have achieved by ing this Amino are all the fantastic friends I have met off the back of it. In a year in which school was getting progressively harder and managing everything in my life was becoming increasingly more impossible, these people in particular made it all just a little bit easier. I'm going to take the time to mention all of them by name and give them a little thank you for all they have done for me. I will try to keep these short, being that this part is fairly reminiscent of my Thanksgiving post.

Starry

A friend, artist, inspiration, advice giver... must I go on? You have done wonders for me over this past year, being the first one to ever help to improve my fanfiction with a cover. that? I do

;3 Thanks for trusting me for helping you write chapters, honestly it's been an honor being able to help you through the worst of writers block.

Happy New Year Buddy.

StarcoRules

Your comments on my comments and posts always make my day, your art leaves me speechless. Sure, you are not my closest friend, but you are a great one all the same. Thank you for being there for everyone when they need you most, you are phenomenal in every way I can think of.

Happy 2018 buddy, you are just as great on Miraculous ;3

Inuk

Hello there frendo, welcome to my post. Thanks for the texts after 2 am, you can thank time zones for that. Thanks for being the conversation-starter I've needed this year, always being able to leave me at the end of a conversation going "lol wut." And lastly, thank you for being my first online friend I could text whenever and spark a conversation, for that I really can't give you all the credit you rightfully deserve.

Keep it up buddo, and good luck surviving 2018.

The Entire Kindness Club

Why you may ask? Well, you people have been some of the kindest, most entertaining, random, and level-headed people I have ever talked to. Honestly, it's been an honor ing your ranks, even just being a spectator forming some of my best Amino memories. Thank you all for that, really and truly.

Bubbles for Kindness Deputy 2018

Lol_Don't_Ask

Now you lot probably don't know her, being that she has never posted anything for more than five seconds, but hear me out. This person is my real life friend, one of the only ones I can actually trust anymore at my school. She means the world to me, and even if for some reason she doesn't feel the same, it doesn't matter to me. Thank you for always being there for me, and don't let the bullies get to you. I'll have your back until we inevitably go our seperate ways as adults.

I bet you weren't expecting that one frendo. Happy Holidays, from your frendo, Anna.

Now that FINALLY concludes my long post dedicated to all of you. I'm glad you came along. Partner.
