Today is a very exciting day, folks! It’s the 9th clanniversary of one of our lovely moderators, Goldenfawn! WOW! Thank you, Goldi, for everything you do and for sticking around after all these years!

Goodness gracious, Goldi, you’ve been busy! The blog definitely wouldn’t be the same without you. Not only are you a wonderful mod, but you’re also an allegiance tsar, art tsar, senior warrior, and a former Blogclan medicine cat! That’s a lot of hard work for one penguin, but I suppose that’s what the top hat and briefcase are for (your blogchat profile picture always makes me wonder….what does that little bird have in their briefcase? Where are they off to in such a rush?) Thank you for everything you contribute and for being your awesome self!

Here’s an acrostic poem for ya!
Genuine
Outstanding
Loyal
Diplomatic
Easy-going
Nifty

Here’s a tasty looking cake for you! Out of respect, I won’t even nibble on it, though I can’t say the same for the rest of the larger whole that the slice came out of (which I am willing to defend with my butter knife and my life. En garde 🍴.)
Congrats again, Goldi! Thank you for being such an excellent member of the blog. What’re some of the biggest changes you’ve seen on Blogclan over the years? What’re some of your favorite blog memories? Any lore from the good ol’ days you wish to share?

Thank you everyone!! ❤️❤️ I’m so absolutely honored to have been on the blog these last nine years (almost half my life!!). I know that these last two years I haven’t been nearly as active due to beginning university but please do know that I am always thinking of y’all and, while my university work continues to grow as I begin research and a very excessive amount of writing ( 😛 ), I will sincerely make an effort to be more active this semester!
As for an answer to your questions, Flame, my absolute favorite thing about being on the blog all these years is, while I’ve seen many BlogClanners come and go, the heart of the blog has always remained the same. I went from the youngest BlogClanner to now one of the oldest (bleh, don’t make me think of how old I am), yet it is genuinely just the same as it was when I was ten years old. It has always been a safe space for me and gave me room to grow and mature with the knowledge that I would always have friends that truly loved and cared for me. My goal as a moderator and medicine cat has always been to create that same space for younger BlogClanners and I sincerely hope that I have managed to do that, even on some small level. 🙂
Thank you for this amazing post, Flame!! ❤️
