Forgive me if text is not clear, I’m typing this at almost 3 in the morning

So I’m helping someone nest, I usually wouldn’t focus this hard but the thing is they wanted an opal creature, before this happened they were nesting in Oasis and got killed so moved to the Flowering Cove watering hole
Everything was chill there for a while, it’s a small server so not much happening, until this new player comes in, a Sochuri, basically begs this person to nest them then gets accepted and what do they do? They say ‘Go 1v1 me’ to one of the nesters friends then attacks them despite them never agreeing to a 1v1

Unfortunately, the 1v1 guy won, I thought at first it was an agreed upon duel so I didn’t intervene until they said that they never agreed and, looking back on chats, they didn’t
The 1v1’er then goes to attack me, and with how low they were it was easy to kill them
Then, they come back as a Sochuri again, except they started bragging about how they emerged victorious and how they won
Like dude, not only did you die but you had to hatch AS A CALDONTERRUS, then kept begging the nester to nest them again despite me and them saying no, a few of us hitting the Sochuri as a hint to leave but they don’t take it

All of the nesters friends were land animals, and me, being a Felli, decided that it was just best to chase them off, and they leave whilst calling me ‘evil green bird’, admittedly I kind of intended to kill them but the goal was to just chase them off, as long as they got the hint I guess

Anyway, I return to the nester to help them gather things and several times the Sochuri comes back, each time I chase them off and each time they don’t get the hint, even starting to genuinely say ‘lol you must all suck’ and taunting that we aren’t ‘catching’ them

So, after I do my material delivery, I go back to the nesters area and turn invisible, waiting for the Sochuri to come back, and they do, at first one of the nesters friend (who had changed into a Sarco) bit them then I just attacked, but this time they died

No more word, no more Sochuri bothering

Until, maybe like 5 minutes later, out of nowhere someone drops out of the sky and kills me, and to top it all of they say ‘evil green bird’ on a DIFFERENT ACCOUNT

Then they decide to make it even more personal by attacking the nester, latching onto them and trying to kill them, genuinely getting their health low as well, thankfully I was quick enough to get a brand new healer Brequewk and fly in there and heal, I died a few times and thought the nester may have died but they pulled through and got to full health whilst the one who attacked says something about ‘dang you heal fast’, then starts talking to their friend in chat about the NESTING Geor and how THEY killed them, despite me and the nesters friends saying that the nester didn’t, that it was us, and if they had an issue it was just us

Anyway yeah not only does the original guy come back as a Turrim but brings their friend Turrim as well, during this chaos an egg was stolen and they kept repeating this so I focused on the egg, only giving up when I noticed the health but it was too late, the geor died

So I call them out on this, and they do the typical response of ‘it’s just a survival game’ with other unnecessary excuses like how we’re just ‘mad’ when I tell them that that logic is dumb, that irl we are surviving and we don’t stab each other for no good reason, only for them to protest like ‘um no, we are animals not humans’ and that ‘they don’t care for pixels’

Then after that, they start bragging to each other, how they ‘accidentally’ grew a ven 4 compared to the other ones they bought, that their Turrim was double red traits and how they spent 12k shooms on something and really stuff I don’t care about (and not to mention they also shamed the nester being like ‘bro has a private server but chose to nest here’) like ??? I don’t have robux and don’t plan on getting it but like they just wanted to nest and also hang out with their friends, but cmon, that’s low af

Then, in the public chat, they tell their friend ‘wanna server hop?’

Then they leave

Genuinely, these types of players disgust me, like this person was NESTING, they didn’t attack anyone they just wanted a mutation, and I feel awful bout it, I am probably in the wrong for some situations and admittedly have probably missed some details but yeah I’m tired, it’s officially 3am

Ok so I don’t know ANYTHING about bearded dragons, but my sibling has one, and out of everyone in my family I’d say that they are the most knowledgeable on bearded dragons

Basic story is that my cousin used to be the original owner, they’re also pretty young and was way too inexperienced so my sibling started going on a kind of rabbit hole about bearded dragons, even getting to the point where my sibling would visit my cousins house and just clean and feed the bearded dragon, doing general maintenance and from there we just kinda have him now

But I’m kinda worried, I don’t doubt that my sibling has knowledge about bearded dragon care, and I feel I should get into the habit of asking them what to do, but I tend to worry that I should probably know some more stuff, even now I’m sitting here staring at our bearded dragon and worrying over small things like why his tail and back legs occasionally twitch, whether it’s because of his uncomfortable position but also finding out that it could be a calcium deficiency, a vitamin V3 deficiency or a sign of something more serious that a vet should check out, why his beard is black, I know that can sometimes mean he’s angry but just moments ago he was eating some vegetables (as my sibling had mentioned he sometimes doesn’t eat them (I fed him rocket (about 4 and a half leaves) and some carrot) but what if it’s too much? Or too little? We feed him bugs sometimes (mealworms and crickets) but at one point we fed him too much, what if he needs more? Or less?

I don’t know anything about reptiles or lizards, I’m under-qualified and I accepted that, reptiles were never my plan when it came to owning pets as I’m more of a cat person myself, but I find myself wondering about the smallest things like is his enclosure too small? Should it have more toys or enrichment? How can I make sure that he’s happy

Why does he randomly run around and lick the air or just random objects at some point? I find that this happens after he’s eaten some food and I feel like it could be hunting but I also worry that it’s something like frustration

Please, any advice (no matter how small) would be appreciated, I’ll do my best to answer any questions anyone has but seriously I just want to at least have some knowledge so I’m not freaking out 100%

Thank you, and I do apologise if this rant is long, the bearded dragons name is Alfie by the way

Hi, I’ve been a lurker for a while and I love seeing everyone’s ESSA, it’s made me feel better as an adult who suffers with anxiety and has a collection of plushies (all are precious to me and make me feel a million times better), especially with how kind/welcoming the community appears to be

Before I ask my question I’ll provide some context:

As well as being diagnosed with anxiety, I have AuDhd + Depression and have been severely bullied in the past (still traumatised by it) it gets to the point where all of these still remain and I dislike going outside alone

Today, I got invited to go to the movies with some lovely people who I consider some friends, but I declined cause I immediately felt uneasy/terrified, even to the point where I currently feel like crying right now just because of this as I wanted to go to this event but was also terrified

Anyway, I was curious if it’d help if I got an ESSA, I’ve always wanted to take some of my plushies with me but always panicked about losing them as they are precious to me + am afraid of getting harassed + judged but I wondered if getting an ESSA to take with me to certain places would help, so I thought I’d ask here, has anyone with similar experiences or has an ESSA have any advice/experience? Would you recommend it?

Even if it’s things like correcting me over things like terminology or letting me know whether this post is ok or not will help a lot, no matter how small or ‘silly’ it may be, I also don’t mind if you also comment for the sake of asking me a question or to elaborate

Regardless, Ty for reading, I hope I got the right place T^T

Nope, this is not a negative rant, I just wanted to share my weird dream that somehow related to my Mii’s

It all started with my two happily married Mii’s having a wedding so their sister can breakdance (for some reason), but for the wedding other family members started coming to my island (mostly cousins, aunts, uncles etc.)

Squidward (yes Squidward) had an argument with someone and was still angry, for some reason he decided to kick the visiting Mii’s into the ocean where they just kinda froze there, slowly letting the water take them whilst I had to constantly fish them out of the water, Squidward still not settling down and continuing to kick the Mii’s into the ocean, and everyone else did NOT care, they just kinda continued what they were doing

Really, that was all that happened in the dream, I had been thinking about this all day that I HAD to share it here

Hopefully this post doesn’t break any rules or stuff, I just wanted to share
