Jamaa Jaunts

okay this is the lamest thing to be excited about but that ain't gonna stop me So out of seemingly nowhere, random people kept appearing in my den, but usually only one-at-a-time. naturally, i was kinda weirded out because who are you people At first I thought that maybe someone had mentioned my username somewhere or something. But I couldn't find anything to suggest that, so I just shrugged it off. However, after a while, I had a random hunch, decided to check the Epic Dens list, and lo and behold! For what I believe is the first time ever, I'm featured on the Epic Dens list! My inner 9-year-old is screaming right now lolol. Okay, I know Epic Dens aren't a big deal anymore and haven't been for a long time, but as a kid I really wanted to have my den featured by AJHQ because I thought the idea of it was cool or whatever. Pretty sure that was also an item on my unwritten AJ bucket list, so it's nice to finally "cross it off"! (i should make an ...

Hey again, Jammers! Today's Rare Item Monday is the Rare Paperclip Earrings! They can be found on the twelfth page of the Jam Mart Clothing shop and they cost 925 gems. Gotta say, I can really get behind the colour scheme. It's colourful, but not in a clashy or neon way. In fact, I'd probably make an outfit with these if it weren't for one tiny little thing- You can barely see 'em when your animal is wearing them! From a glance, my bunny just looks like she's completely bald! I tried to put them on my completely uncustomized Arctic wolf with similar results: You can see the earrings more clearly, but they're still extremely tiny and also look sort of strange. I mean, the earrings on the left side literally look like they're hovering in mid-air . I know this isn't anything new, as these earrings are just the RIM version of an already-existing item, but it just feels like this item's pretty unnecessary. If they were larger and des...

'Sup, folks! Last night I came across yet another hacker! These guys really are coming out of the woodwork all of a sudden. His username is ajcatnoir and this is his playercard: Basically, much like Zyvexedpyro (the hacker that I previously encountered), he was changing colours. However, he seemed to be able to do the colour-changing hack and remain one solid colour without using mud. Below are some screenshots of him -- it's worth noting that all the people around him who are solid green aren't also hacking, but rather are doing the Haunted Mansion slime glitch. In fact, the whole reason why I even found out that he was a hacker was because a solid-green eagle was sitting in Jamaa Township and people were asking why she was green. From there, ajcatnoir came up to the crowd and said something like "yeah she's green. like this" and instantly changed neon green as well. From there, his wolf started changing a few diff...

alright hey guys Gonna make an exception to the"not posting about casual AJ updates" rule because I keep seeing lots of people running around and asking about where they can obtain the weekly RIM -- each Monday, I'll post about that day's RIM and where you can find it. I mean, I'm not sure how many people are gonna be reading this blog, but hopefully this might be helpful to  someone out there! So today's Rare Item Monday is Rare Shell Armor, presumably to go with last week's Rare Shell Helmet (shellmet?). It can be found on the fourth page of Bahari Bargains and costs 975 gems. Dunno why AJ insists on making such obscure, weirdly-coloured RIMs (although tbh i don't mind the orange-and-green colour scheme) but alright, I guess. On a totally unrelated note, I made a new look for one of my bunnies in preparation for Pride Week where I live: her name is enchanted bravelesbian (or, according to aj's chat filter, brave thespian ) and she ...

Yo, Jammers! I think I've got an update on the hacker dude, and I'd like to thank Wikia user Midnightmoonlight1 for bringing it to my attention via a post on the AJ Item Worth Wiki (ye i've been using it a fair bit lately to find out what my items can go for and stuff). So, as it turns out, he's got a YouTube channel and found some unreleased headdresses that he's planning on giving away. Here's a screenshot of all of the headdresses from his video: Potentially the most interesting thing about 'em is that they're nonmember items! A few of them seem pretty similar to in-game member headdresses, except that they have dark grey bands. If these are items that AJ intends to bring into the game, though, I'm kinda miffed that they'd stop releasing headdresses out of respect for Indigenous peoples, only to do this. Then again, they just released that new custom head feather, so I really don't know what I was expecting. I mean, yeah, they're...

okayyy i guess i have something interesting to add to this blog. hooray i guess I encountered a game hacker today! This has gotta be the first time I've seen one in the wild in literal years lmao. They weren't doing any overly malicious stuff, just randomly changing colours haha. They were listed as "New Jammer", so I didn't get to find out their username. Here's their playercard, though. He first appeared on the bridge in Jamaa Township that leads to Appondale and started casually changing a myriad of different colours there: I have more pics, but you get the gist of it. People were debating whether it was a glitch or an actual hack, but it was later determined (by the hacker's own admission) to be a hack. After a couple minutes, they ran into Appondale and I followed them. They ran into the muddy area, danced, got muddy, and started changing colours again . So I guess they have to use mud/lava/etc to do the hack idk. ...

Hey, people! It's Dark (AKA Qlj/BubbleKittens789 [and formerly DarkBunneh] on Animal Jam) and while I've basically grown out of Animal Jam and previously quit for over 2 years, I randomly came back to AJ for the nostalgia. To say the least, I kinda like AJ again oof. I don't know -- if you get past the ever-present "RARES RARES RARES" mindset that has overtaken the site as well as the scamming that sometimes goes on, it's still a pretty nice game (Except for the weird chat filters. AJ, please fix that). I mean, yeah, maybe I'm a little old for it, but I'm pretty sure the majority of people that play AJ nowadays are older than AJHQ's actual target audience anyways. I know Animal Jam blogs are no longer popular and haven't been a popular medium for talking about AJ for literal years, but I figured I'd start a new one. Why? To be honest, even I'm not sure yet lmao. This definitely won't be a blog focused on daily AJ updates and new i...
