A new tavern! Take a look around and make yourself cosy!
This is the place for off-topic chat, sharing, and hanging out!
You can find our old Tavern here.

Note: BlogTeam discourages making short, spammy comments in quick succession, as this can make Tavern pages go past really quickly. Commenting for the sole purpose of taking over the purrs or just because can cause other comments to get buried. However, we still encourage you to share your thoughts and just chat away, of course, but making comments for the sake of making comments is discouraged 🙂
We also encourage people to avoid using special fonts in their display names, because it can cause screen readers (which read all of the text, emojis, and images on the screen out loud) to crash or make things impossible for people to understand (click here for an article about that). Screen readers are used by people with visual impairments and help make things more accessible for them, so let’s all do our part in keeping the blog a place that they can come visit and chat on without issue 🙂

Question for the BlogClanners who have been here for a while because I am curious.
Looking back at the old comments, the display names look vastly different (just simple warrior / apprentice names). I am wondering how the trend started with the long display names we have now.
I have no idea. I just know they’ve existed for over a year, because they were here when I joined.
But they weren’t as common back then
I’m not sure! Seems to me that they just progressively got longer 😛
I have no idea 😛 I will say that I joined the Blog around 2 years ago and the transition appears to have happened during the reign of the 10th tavern (Feb. 2022 – Apr. 2023). It’s interesting to see more and more long names as you turn through the pages 🙂
There used to be signatures among other features a while back, and people would often use quotes from random books, songs, and famous figures they liked. If I recall correctly, that feature caused certain errors to pop up, prompting its removal. As a result most people started placing those quotes in their usernames and the whole practice became the norm. I think though, that people usually add emoji’s and other extras to their usernames as personal expression, and I vaguely remember a few people back in my day who did that. I feel like however, the removal of the quotes feature really caused it to take off.
I honestly just prefer for myself a simple name and an emoji that symbolizes something about myself, lol. Like the fox because I am a fox therian and the trans pride flag because I am trans.
well hello Miss I’ve-been-on-the-Blog-forever /lh
Yeah, I came with its creation, didn’t you know? 😉
You’re absolutely right about that!
Idk, it kinda just happened 😛
no idea 😛 i’m still not used to them, i’m a relic of the past
Mmm I don’t know if 8 months is considered a while (- wow! 8 months already?!), but they were already all the trend when I joined, and I stayed with the short nickname team for about a week 😛 I sort of am now, but I’m not signed in so.. :pp anyways, yeah I don’t know!
I’m not sure! I remember when I was younger, my name was “The Amazing Briarkit!!!”, then “The Amazing Briarpaw”, and that was around the time that display names got longer, so I changed it to my usual longer one, like the one I have now
Idk it just sort of…happened? They were there when I joined a bit more than a year ago (If anything, they were longer than they are now😛 ) Based on my thorough stalking of old blog articles, I think it started in around late 2021 or early 2022 ^^
Probably something to do with signatures (an old feature of the blog where you could put a short amount of text below all your own comments) being fazed out, so people started putting things that were previously in their signatures into their display names. 🙂
Like the other old folk have mentioned, we used to have signatures where you could write messages to sign off a comment. As it’s gone now, I wouldn’t be surprised that the quotes that would’ve been signatures in the past became part of our username. Not to say that it wasn’t a thing before- people’ve always had “special edition” names for holidays and occasions, but they certainly weren’t as long or prevalent.
New pfp and display name! I’m like 21 days early (NFL season starts September 5th), but yeah 😛 i’m also a 49ers fan, but I couldn’t find many emojis to work with the colours :p
does anyone else here watch the NFL?
I like the pfp and I watch the NFL too. I’m a Cleveland brown’s fan tho.
I occasionally watch the NFL, but I’m a Eagles fan
Occasionally, but not very often tbh
DETROIT LIONS 4 EVER :DDDDD
I think my parents might, but and they invite friends over, but I’m not a big sports fan, I’m just there for the snacks 😛
I watch it sometimes with my dad and brothers, I think the only game I ever watch the entirety of is the Super Bowl though 😛
We’re Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos fans here, even though they kind of suck now lol
lol so do the chargers 😛
NFL used to be a big part of my old church’s culture, so it wasn’t uncommon to have games on during potlucks, or get together during the Super Bowl. However, since I’ve moved, I don’t care nearly as much. Still root for the Bears, though… even if they are terrible 😛
That’s how it is with my homeschool group, most of us are Chiefs fans, (some are Swifties 😛) so the Super Bowl party last year was insane. We’re all going to be on vacation together during the first Chiefs game of the season, so obviously we’ll be watching that and screaming 😛
My crush likes the Bears too, he thinks they’ll actually be good this year, I’m just hoping for someone, anyone, to get Taylor Swift off my TV /hj
Chiefs fans and Swifties are a powerful force to be reckoned with, so I can only imagine how crazy that Super Bowl was 😛
I really hope they’re good this year, as well! Though I don’t follow it as much, my brother Toadtail is, and he’s been waiting for decent season for ages 😛
Today I went for a short run, and it was very productive! I felt very tired after, but now I’m fine. I’m going to go meet up with two other girls that will be living in our Spanish apartment complex that are around my age, so hopefully, we’ll become friends, because I’m in desperate need of friends here in Spain
Sounds like fun!
Ty!
Good luck! Have fun!
Good luck!
Some relatives from Holland (my mom’s cousin and his wife) stayed over for a few days! I haven’t seen them in around seven years, so to be honest, I kind of forgot what they were like. It was lovely getting to meet them again – her cousin is very funny and notices the little details of people, and his wife is just the sweetest person who’s quick to smile. We chatted, went swimming, and I got to play a game with them one-on-one! Well, technically three-on-three, I guess (everybody else was making dinner and they didn’t need anymore hands in the kitchen 😛 ) I also got to practice my Dutch with them! They would laugh in delight even when I would say simple phrases like “I understand” in response to something, it was so nice ^^
Speaking of languages, there was a point where cinnamon came up in conversation and they didn’t know what that was. So we hunted around the kitchen to find ground cinnamon and cinnamon sticks so they could see it and smell it and be able to recognize it. While I like Google Translate, I think doing it that way was a lot more fun than quickly looking up the word! <3
Awww that sounds nice <333 I'm glad you had fun
Sounds so fun!
awhh that sounds so fun :0
I don’t speak much dutch but I have lots of dutch family (3rd generation aussie from that branch of my family tree) and we went there in 2013 which was cool 😀 its very pretty there
Oh nice! I’m a 1st generation Dutch-American, to my knowledge – my mom’s family moved to the U.S. when she was very young so as a result she knows more English than Dutch, but she married an American while her parents were both Dutch, so ^^ And I agree, the Netherlands is beautiful! What did you do there?
Sounds fun!! :DD
Ooo sounds fun 😀 I’m glad you had fun with your relatives Snowy, that certainly sounds amazing :>
Thank you, Wynn! 😀

GUYS I’M SCREAMING XD
MY DAD STARTED READING WARRIOR CATS :0000 (he read Long Shadows and liked it!!!!) JFJJKKDJFJDKSKSLQOOWOEIDDISXNNXXNKQOWWKKSSA YAYAYAAAAYAYAAAYAYAYYAYAAYYYAAYYAYYYY
Yay!
Soooo lucky. My mom and brother would never read Warrior Cats. . .
oof- i think my mom heard me ranting about Warrior Cats so many times that she doesn’t need to read it 😛
and yes that was very unexpected for me because my dad doesn’t like cats that much
I am surprised he started with Long Shadows. . . is that not in like the middle of the series?
My mom read it once and now she jokes around that it’s about feral cats and cat gangs. Tell him he must start from the first book though!
he said he wants to read long shadows first though so RIP 😛
ooooh cool! I made my dad read the first series like two years ago, and he somehow finished it recently, but hasn’t found the motivation to read the second series 😛
Yay! My dad would never! Lol
JAUJEJEUEUEUE
WHOOP
My mom wants to read it, but I don’t let her because otherwise she’ll start talking about it with me and Rubyfrost whenever she comes over lollllllll 😛

The WNBA season starts back up tonight!!! I’m so excited :DDD I’m hoping for the Fever to go 9-5 in the second half because that might get them the 6th seed in the playoffs (the Lynx, they can beat. The Sun…ehhhh)
