Alexandre is very shy baby while Mateus is brave soul

He finally found someone who can fully understand him. The only wild bird that can’t fly anymore and isn’t afraid of humans.

Hai everyone! It’s me, Podbolotnick. That one freaky artist of Rio fandom >:)

Friends, what do you think of this AU where Jewel and Blu go their separate ways in first movie? Jewel back to her clan, and Blu back to Linda and Tulio.

I recommend watching it to stay informed. There's some really beautiful art there!

The moment I rewatched Rio for the first time three yrs ago, I knew from then on I felt like a child again and felt the magic this film brings in me and still feel to this day.

I think they would be skeptical at first but when Blu tells them about how Jewel and the tribe treated him badly they would warm up to her at once.

Yes, everyone in this film is a bully, yeah, I'm autistic who suffers doubts and peer pressure at university like Jewel as my mom and Edwardo as my University.

Why I love this film rather than hating it because it hit so close to home because I watch it for animals only and because it reliefs dreams that never came o be along side with KOATI and nature documentries.

I need an audio commentary about writers who admitted they can't write a proper family dynamic, while addressing that they did all the research on wildlife and music, which is fine so movie won' get hated.

Note- I'm just a Rio fan for love of animals even I admmited Blu is my comfert character my apologies if sequal did mental harm through how Jewel triggered you.

They helped Blu and Jewel get unchained and freed all of the caged birds and defeated Nigel.

*This fanfic piece is about if Blu confessed to Jewel on how he was treated by Eduardo, and Jewel decided to have a heart-to-heart with her father. As it takes place hours after the soccer match.

As the sun kissed the bottom of the sky, Jewel flew in the direction of the Elder Tree, to where Eduardo is known to watch the sunset, still wearing the same scowl from previous hours after the soccer game disaster.

Jewel: "Daddy, are you okay?"

Eduardo's head turned slightly, gaze still focused on the purple hues blending with the dusk as the moon peeked slightly past the looming trees.

Eduardo: "No, Jewel, I'm not okay, that Blu sentenced us to starve as we don't own the closest not grove, I had to send scouts to look for more."

Jewel: "I'm sure they can find more nuts around the Rain Forest."

Eduardo: "How would you know, the damn humans probably harvested the rest of the nut trees by now. All humans are nothing but sadistic and selfish, they take what they want without remorse."

Jewel: "I know you don't like humans and all, but not all humans are bad."

Before Jewel's mouth could close, Eduardo no longer gazed at the orange sky, now glaring down at Jewel.

Eduardo: "Jewel, the humans took our old home, killed my wife- your mother, Roberto has once been brainwashed by them, they took everything, they took you!"

Jewel: "Blu was raised by Linda, a human, and she loves him and animals like if they were any human-"

Eduardo: "OF COURSE I KNOW! That's why that Blu is so pathetic, he doesn't know what it's like to be a true Blue Spix Macaw! The fanny pack, mints, that....machine thing that tells where to go to find a location!"

Jewel: "Hey, that's not fair to say that about Blu, it's not his fault that he was raised by Linda, he fell from a tree, got captured in this box, and luckily it fell out of the moving truck in front of Linda's truck!"

Eduardo: "It's his fault for pissing off Felipe in the first place! He should've have known about the grove and where it starts and ends!"

Jewel: "How was he even supposed to know, dad?! There's no signs that go 'Hey, the Blue Macaws side of the grove ends here' He was trying to surprise me with a nut, a nut!"

Eduardo: "That's not the point Jewel! The point is that Blu's caused me nothing by trouble since he arrived! Going on about humans and how they want to help! The stupid amazon tryouts that's been making me sick! And to top it all of, he doesn't have what Roberto has!"

Jewel: "Are you really going to compare a literal bird that grew up in the wild vs a bird who grew up in the city?!"

Eduardo: "Roberto has talent, he can fly backwards, defend himself from an snake that's a inch from making him into a meal."

Jewel: "That's not fair dad, not fair!"

Eduardo: "This isn't about being fair! Roberto's competent, even if he was raised by humans for a short period of time and goes nuts when the word 'human' is said!

Jewel: "Hey, how come you can hold it against Blu for being raised by a human, yet you don't seem to hold it against Roberto?!"

Eduardo: "That's different!"

Jewel: "HOW?!

Eduardo: "BECAUSE HE'S THE BETTER BIRD THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF MY DAUGHTER, I WISH YOU MARRIED HIM INSTEAD OF BLU!!!"

A hard slap echos the valley, Eduardo groans, realizing that Jewel sent him to the ground, through the daze, he meet Jewel's misty eyes and trembling beak, finding her speech.

Jewel: How COULD you say that? I love Blu very much, and I may have not shown much care since we arrived......he's still my one and only one.

He stood by my side for many years, since the rough first encounter, through thick and think, through my pregnancy, during arguments where words were said that shouldn't have been said....Blu's a real gentleman, yet even when he protected me for years, you still treated him like shit."

Eduardo: "Jewel, my daughter. I'm only trying to do what's best for you?"

Jewel: "Insulting my husband and comparing him to Roberto is doing what's best for me!?"

*Carla, Bia, and Tiago appeared. As they were having a race, and Bia won*

Bia: "Yes, I won!"

Tiago: "Aww, no fair, can we have a redo?"

Carla: "Rules are rules, Bia gets to sit next to mom when......"

The three turned their heads to see Jewel crying and Eduardo on the ground, their smiles and Tiago's pout faded, as they looked at their mom and Pop Pop. Tiago whispers to Bia

Tiago: "Okay, is it just me or is something off here?"

Bia: "I never thought I would say this, but, you're right, there is something that's off."

Composing herself, Jewel turned to the kids and forced a smile

Jewel: "Kids, I thought we would find a different tree to watch the sunset."

Tiago: "Aww, do we have to?"

Bia: "You said that this was the best spot for watching the sunset."

Jewel: "Well kids, I thought your Uncle Roberto would love to see the sunset with you."

Tiago: "But mom! You promised that you'll watch it with us if we behaved."

Jewel: "I'm so sorry, but I don't feel that well and need to rest, but I promise you when I feel better, we can come back here with some nuts.

Carla felt Tiago's fit of whines boiling up, and had to prevent her brother from causing a disturbance.

Carla: "Whoever makes it to Uncle Roberto's nest first gets to perch next to him!"

Tiago: "YOU'RE ON!!!

And thus the trio rushed off, with voices fading in the distance, as Tiago accuses Bia of going too fast for him, as Jewel turns back to Eduardo.

Jewel: "Dad, I'm going to say this once and only once. If you don't make it up to Blu by tomorrow at dusk and I mean, make it up to Blu along with a heartfelt apology, then Blu and I will pack up up and leave at early dawn and we won't be coming back.

Eduardo: "What, you can't just arrive and leave, you're home is here-"

Jewel: "My home is with Blu and the kids..... I honestly can't even look in your eyes....Mom would be very disappointed in you."

Eduardo: "Jewel....I......I....I can't lose you, not again."

Jewel: "You already did."

With that, Jewel left and Eduardo found himself uselessly wiping the sobs, the tears were too much. Collapsing onto the ground, tucking head and legs into his chest and the tears just broke,

That's the end of that, and any feedback is very welcomed, as long it's constructive. Questions are welcomed too.

I hope you enjoyed the fanfic piece.

FIRST ISSUE - #0: The Absences of Goldenswordz and Teases in Wonderland!

PREVIOUS ISSUE - Issue #1: Happy Admin-versary!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ FOREWORD █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

Hello and welcome to the second issue of Sugarloaf News! First and foremost before we start, I'd like to apologize for the wait as I've been pretty busy throughout April—namely with our first movie night (wink) and other projects unrelated to the Rio IP—and couldn't find the time to start on this next issue until now. So, I am sorry for that. I hope to eventually get more writers onboard and avoid repeating this one instance again.

If you're interested in joining our writer's room, please do feel free to shoot us a letter in our mod mail here or on the Discord. Now without any further ado, let's get right into it!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ ENRICHMENT OF THE SCHLANG (AND STAFF) █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

Schlang's promotion has been a blessing to Riocord! Stringing about events left and right and here's hoping more are to come with ElectroTiel's recent promotion and Fawful's eventual one?

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ DENG: PHOTOSHOPPED OR GUILTY? █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

Well over just a month ago now, one member got bombarded over and over with grammar corrections from left, right, and center. After wounded up being birdcaged for just doing that in a very consistent manner despite clearly pissing off the target of their unwanted corrections, Deng—the grammar nazi in question—had left the server and proceeded to DM multiple staff members about how he was supposedly right and they were allegedly pampering this member, simply because they did not let him continue to correct this person. He rejoined and started ranting about the situation. Before long, he was birdcaged again before leaving for the second time. He was then banned by Schlang for both the birdcage evasion and harassment. Ever since then, he’s been trying to get Schlang fired and to subsequentially get unbanned.

This has led to our and BoP's attempt at an intervention with him. To say that Deng was absolutely seething foam on his mouth would be a MASSIVE understatement. Despite being reasoned with over and over, provided with proof that he was in fact guilty of harassing said member from earlier (who in fact is known to be a minor there,) Deng kept insisting at ad nosism he didn't do it. That it was all a photoshopped frame job and something worth bringing up to every Riocord staff member, even the head admins of all people. In the end, he simply left stating "y’all are assholes."

You'd assume that was that but there is more to this! Just two days prior to the intervention, he was making his case to Spixii about he oh so wrongly was banned for being Warden's greatest pupil and a ban evader as well when shockingly upon being shown "false accusations," and with no word exchanged between the staff members either, Spixii went and demoted Schlang for supposedly power tripping. It however did not remain that way for long as Pashka had gotten wind of what had happened and proceeded to set things right in the form of telling Spixii off for being a bad moderator and restoring Schlang's status as mod.

To this day, Deng is still harassing Schlang every day in his DMs to no avail. If you wish to see the intervention for yourself, you can find it and more here.

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ 80'S RETROSPECTION █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

Movie night went swimmingly I'd say. We went through some previews, kinkered out some technical difficulties during them, skipped the rest of the United in Rio teaser in favor of watching the edit, and left off feeling the need to refining it a bit before publishing.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ THE END OF RIOTECA? █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

Vincal and Freddy left. Orange now has ownership and things been dusting since their respective retirements from the project. I now consider myself to be the sole member left on the project and as such, have renamed my stash to reflect it. You can either access it here, on its own post, or in the community bookmarks.

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ SADIST, RACIST, AND RENT FREE █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

CONTENT WARNING: Parts of this story features sadism, transphobia, and racism. Read the spoilered parts at your own discretion.

It is with great disappointment that I have do some dredging up for events I thought I had put behind me for good. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. For context, late at night here in the US on April 29th, a former Riocord member—I'll call Casi—had put out a suggestion for their QOTD function that simply asked who'd you want unbanned from Riocord. 2 days later, the suggestion was picked and announced as the 773rd entry. As of when I am writing this, there are two answers given so far.

The first interestingly enough comes from someone who stated that they chose themself in the future out of anyone else.

>"Idk, but its Best to. Be safe in case a corrupt mod gets put in place and Just bans me randomly cause i didn't like his rule of terror"

^(The user in question when asked to explain their answer.)

Needless to say, the interesting part about the user's explanation is that they seem to think they're at risk of being banned in quite an unfair fashion. Keep this in mind as we go on with the second answer from Casi themself; "ColbyDash was banned for no reason, right? If he was, then there shouldn't be any reason to keep him banned." For anyone unfamiliar with what was said in any sort of way, you might be wondering what that's about. I'll tell you; in short, I was banned for supposedly violating a probation period I wasn't told about by way of "intentionally annoying" Spixii with my (poor) attempt at ribbing. Generally was just trying to mend our relationship in other words and sadly had it unreasonably scorched in the end with one unbelievably flawed execution.

Despite the reaction that was had out of it from Spixii's end, I do feel genuinely sorry about how I went about it and I am trying my best to do better. Speaking of betterment, this is where things take a dive for the worse as two parties make their entrances right after Casi does. First of all, in order of appearances, you have Warden Snook—a Greek connoisseur in the art of writing and former co-head admin/member of the Birds of Paradise server—and secondly, Fawful—big fan of the Super Mario franchise and Nintendo, TV Tropes enthusiast, and Rio Wikia admin/bureaucrat. As mentioned, Warden came in first stating that "first of all, there was ample reason he was banned" and "second of all, he is in the server right now." Fawful followed it up with sharing a theory of his that seemed to have been proven correct by Warden's reply.

The theory being that I am still on the server in some sort of fashion. "Especially since he was able to see what was being said about him on the server" Fawful added alongside the following paragraph of text in another message:

>"I know it wasn’t a secret but now it’s been officially confirmed to me as I had no way of knowing what account he was using. It’s a shame what happened to him as he seemed like a great guy at first and we used to be friendly with each other but that time has long since come to an end. Well either way his days of ever being on this server again are over for good."

^(Fawful's response to Warden claiming my supposed continued presence wasn't a secret.)

What followed thereafter __was__ reportedly a portion of texts consisting of my very good friend and fellow moderator—Topaz—coming in and notifying him (Fawful) of the deal he had broken after finding him clear as day explicitly talking about me as you all can see. A deal I'll explain more in depth later but for now, there's an emphasis on was because that very portion ceased to exist any longer for Fawful didn't like what he was hearing. It is exactly at this point when Schlang made his entrance onto the scene and Warden had claimed that a mod did it. Schlang exclaimed he didn't and to show for it, he had checked the server's logs and surprisingly found at the center Fawful of all people.

>"Fawful, I checked
Don’t know why, don’t rlly care unfortunately
It is what it is"

^(Schlang revealing Fawful as the culprit of the deleted messages.)

You've read that correctly; it was Fawful. Not an actual moderator on the server, but a wiki admin that for some reason has moderation permissions on a Discord server. Why does a wiki admin have the ability to moderate on a Discord server of all places? From a security standpoint, it makes no sense and concerning even. You can perhaps excuse the wiki category of channels, considering that we Reddit mods do have the perms to delete messages in the Reddit channel for the sake of cleaning out removed/deleted posts here, but otherwise, there should be no reason that a wiki admin should be able to delete messages in QOTD discussions or ANY other channel besides the wiki sort.

Now if that isn't already ample enough reason for concern from a security standpoint, you might as well add in Fawful's impulsive fragility for good measure. If not now, then possibly when he becomes a Riocord moderator. You've read that correctly as well; Fawful was being considered a Riocord moderator and by Spixii no less. Reportedly from the pre-staff chat, Fawful approached Spixii there with an interest in moderating for the server and was basically just told "alright." Alright in this circumstance means yes according to him.

Now even after having read all of this so far, would you want Fawful as a moderator? Would you feel comfortable at all with having him around as one knowing that he isn't opposed to deleting stuff that he doesn't like? Well if you need another reason to be concerned, let me tell you about our deal with him and rewind back to the day Vincal had left Riocord. The date is February 2nd, 2026; Paz had let out one little "dammit" upon having had seen the former Rioteca leader leave the server. When Fawful had came in and expressed that he wasn't surprised at all anymore, he'd left a thumbs down reaction on Topaz that didn't go unnoticed. The reaction itself resulted in the following exchange:

>Topaz:
"What's with the thumbs down react"

Fawful:
"Well to put it simply you have been doing that to plenty of my old posts. I never said anything about it before simply because I am hardly active on the server anymore."

Topaz:
"Indeed I have, and that's because you were actively talking about me"

Fawful:
"It’s also because you don’t like me (You confirmed that with a checkmark react emoji) and that’s okay because I have a mutual dislike for you as well."

Topaz:
"Is this about the Reddit ban then? I'll happily leave you alone if you leave both me and Colby alone in that case. But if you talk about us, expect us to respond"

Fawful:
"So to put it simply we won’t talk to each other anymore or talk about each other to keep the peace alright?"

Topaz:
"Fine, but on the condition that you credit Colby for the MaRIO logo whenever you share it. It is disingenuous when you do so insulting him behind his back without saying his name"

Fawful:
*"*Alright then deal, I shall still call him a former friend of mine but if that’s not satisfactory to you I shall not include that."

Topaz:
"Say his name and nothing else. Artists deserve to be credited for their work"

So with that, as men of our word, Paz had revealed Fawful's darkest secret and I shall follow my end of the bargain by expanding out here—revealing the reason behind his ban from here. Right after leaving Riocord for the second time and wounding up banned over a year ago now, I had received a DM here from u/PhysicsLogical9243 that stated "As member of Rio server we all see what happen, nobody miss you and we all glad you gone permanently, we don’t care what happen to you now, server better off without you, good riddance." In reply, I sent a gif to him that simply dismissed what was said in essence and blocked him. A week goes by and I check my Discord to find that I had received a message of a suspiciously similar nature from Fawful; "I had thought you changed, I even gave you a second chance thinking you would never do anything like this a second time and instead you disappointed me again, That’s all I can say, good bye forever especially since you will NEVER be coming back to the server again." I thought that was strange upon remembering that this Phil guy on Reddit said something similar and even claimed he was a member of Riocord on top of that.

It was when I went to check the archive for my freshly deleted old Reddit account at the time (RIP 🪦) when I saw what Phil had wounded up sending before I blocked him.

>>!"Nobody like you anymore, you worthless, you have no use to Rio server anymore, some of us wish you was dead."!<

>!"Nobody like you anymore, you worthless, you have no use to Rio server anymore, we be happy if you delete all social media you own, we be happy once you naturally disappear some way entirely."!<

To say that Phil had gotten my attention at that point would be an understatement, rather I was quite interested in seeing just finding out who Phil really is. I wish I could say what I found next was an actual understatement, but sadly it isn't; Phil is an unremorseful, transphobic, and sadistic Super Mario fan that used to suspiciously pretend to hate horses in the same manner as Fawful said he did. That was more than enough to conclude that Phil was undeniably an alt of Fawful's and seeing as he looked to have realized it too, here are my findings that have ceased to exist any longer. Going forwards with this discovery, Paz and I had soon thereafter brought it up with the subreddit's former group chat on Discord which had resulted in him getting both of his accounts banned on account of the one DM he thought he would have gotten away with. Moral of the story; don't be impulsive but if you truly cannot resist the urge, at least be smart about it.

It's sad because as Fawful had mentioned earlier, we were once friends. I had considered him to be a friend and even a good friend at that. Now, I cannot look back on the good memories we shared without feeling repulsed and it's all because of what I now know about him. Had I known of this side of himself the day we first met, I honestly don't even know if I would have been friends with him in the first place. With Warden however, I know for sure I wouldn't have had been friendly with him whatsoever.

Now with the deal in mind, you might be wondering where does Warden fall into the deal. He doesn't. This is merely my own extension of it if you will for his attempt at defaming both myself and Casi as I feel it was unwarranted to imply that I am Casi. I won't speak much on them to respect their privacy but from my limited experience with them, they're very skittish as a person and seemed to be quite fond of me from our occasional chats with each other. The friendship had eventually faded out and I had since wished them well deep down. As you can imagine, them getting treated like this hurts me just imagining how they must have felt.

There is evidently no weight behind Warden's claim and his miserable self knows that. Being a former member of the Birds of Paradise server, a closed friends group server that acts as a refuge for Riocord's outcasts, he knows that there are many members in it willing to be their eyes in the server for those that do want to be in the know about what's going on in it but can or will not do it themselves—preview mode or not. Now, you can perhaps make a case going off of one instance—that of which being when Casi shared a rant doc I had made once upon a time with Riocord behind my back—but even still, it's circumstantial at best. If you do however want to make a real case out of someone being an alt, I'd pick Warden's own alt; Ria the Falconess or otherwise known as sneaky_snookie.

Ria is based off of his late pet falcon of the same name and the account doesn't hide itself well despite the name. I can't say the same however regarding Warden's own demons. See, outside of BoP, you wouldn't know just how terrible they get. Lemme enlighten you by just simply saying that while he's as enbyphobic (against non-binary pronouns) as Fawful is, he is undoubtedly racist and homophobic also. If you don't believe me, look at this.

So that is all to say don't take your miserableness out on others just because you're miserable and unable to do anything about it. It's not cool and neither is being so obsessed with just one slur either at that. Seek out some professional help if you're able to and work on yourself. Do better overall.

▂ ▃ ▅ ▆ █ COLBYDASH IS STEPPING BACK FROM THE FANDOM?? █ ▆ ▅ ▃ ▂

Yes! If Pashka and Nikita has shown me anything, it's that you shouldn't care about a Discord server unless it's popular in some shape or form. Then you should care at least a smidge. So who cares if there is a petty narcissist in charge, am I right? Let's just sweep all of the blatent corruptedness and neglect under the rug, classify it as a personal issue, and suck his big fat delicious cock because let's just face it; Pashka has better things to do than to improve his server for the "better" and be there for the server he volunteered to lead in Fru's haystead. Anyway, I have transferred ownership of the Miraheze wiki and Rioddit server that no one cares about respectively to Paz to look over for the foreseeable future. Also, I have left the RDDC Union—something that I have neglected to mention the existence of publicly until now—in his care to do as he will with. Whether that be to shout into the void as I had or fuck all. Bye now, I do not want to write this anymore and want to eat my dinner please

-Friendly fuck or wahtever, Again, who gives a flying flipping shit about me and my drama queen self
