Hi, I'm new

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Hi, I'm new

Hi, I'm new here!

I'm Skyraa, and I love the outdoors! I'm a general fangirl of nature, and probably semi-crazy. I'm also very touchy about human rights, so don't get me heated on that.

I play the violin, the viola, the piano, the cello, and the flute, plus I do music theory! I love the arts, like music and art! Acting is also quite nice. 

As for my art, I've developed a pretty nice style, I'll show it to y'all sometime. As for acting, I request the side roles, and do some costumes, as I'm semi-introvert. Costumes are my main point. I like the word 'semi' it just sounds good!

Anyways, that's pretty much all you need to~ oops, forgot a very important thing!

I'm genderfluid and use xe/xyr pronouns, and fae/faer pronouns are a-ok too. 

Yes, that should be it! 

~Skyraa Amber~

PS Amber is not a real last name it is something I made up!

back to the Chirp at Cricket

hey, Skyraa! Cool name! Welcome to the CB. 

That is a lot of instruments. Wow. Do you happen to have a favorite?

Also, I recommend checking out this guide to the CB - it explains a lot!

WeLl AnYwAy, read you around!

 

p.s. I may end up using they/them pronouns for you on accident because I am soooo bad at remembering pronouns, so please forgive me if that happens. I'll try to remember xe/xyr.

Hi Skyraa! It's nice to meet you! I'm Peppermint (aka Pepper). It's cool that you play so many instruments! I play the clarinet and I'm hoping to learn piano this summer. I also love the outdoors! My mom and I go hiking just about every weekend on some trails near our house. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here! See you around!

Howdy Skyraa! 

I'm Lord entropy!

My acting is fine!

My drawing stinks but i love drawing so I aint stopping! 

I Play the ukelele and sing almost obsessively! 

I'm the kind of introvert who pretends to be an extrovert in order to cope with anxiety!

I overuse exclamation marks!

I love fantasy so I think that youhaving "fae" As a pronoun is probably the coolest thing ever.

I used to be called "Howdee" but it wasn't hammy enough.

Always remember to believe that you are LOVELY!

Hey there Skraa! Welcome to the CB!

I'm pangolin and I'm relatively new here too. It was a little overwhelming at first but once I got the hang of things it was really fun!

I'm going to explain the areas of the CB if you don't know already.

This month is a place for talking about this month's issue of the Cricket magazine.

Chirp at Cricket (CaC) was originally for talking about Cricket, Ladybug, and the rest of the bugs, but it kind of turned into a second Down to Earth (below).

Blab about Books (BaB) is a place to talk about books, characters, words, and play book-related trivia.  

I recommend checking out Pudding's Place, since you said you like music, art, and acting. 

Inkwell is the writing center, where you can share your writing, join role plays, and discuss story ideas. 

And then there's Kyngdom, which is kind of like a huge role play. It's confusing, to me anyway, and I haven't really checked it out. If you want to learn about it, I included the link to Kyngdom Academy thread below.

Anyway, welcome to the chatterbox. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

*I can be forgetful at times and may use they/them pronouns instead of xe/xyr by mistake, so if I do, just remind me of your pronouns! I'll try my best to remember, though!*

Hi there! The name's Silver Crystal aka Silver, and I've been here about two months now :) She/her pronouns. I love your name, I picture the sky at sunset with an amber-ish color when I read it. It's so cool that you play all those instruments! As a former viola & flute player, I can say that it is not as easy as it looks XD Anyway, welcome to the CB, and I hope I'll see you around!!

xoxo Silver Crystal

Hi, Skyraa! I'm Luminescence, primarily known as Lumi. My pronouns are she/her, I'm 12 years old, and I'm a semi-extrovert! I love writing and drawing, and I also love horses, birds, and guinea pigs. (GUINEA PIGS ARE ADORABLE.) I love reading as well :) I feel very strongly about human rights as well, and I play the piano! I'm thinking about starting a string instrument as well and I love singing but I'm not particularly good at it- my pitch is awful. I think that's about it- have a great time on the CB, and read you around!

Hi Skyraa! I love your name! You play a lot of instruments. I sing (which I'm pretty good at) and play clarinet (which I'm not so good at). I really love music in general. 

I'd love to see your art style! I like to draw but I'm pretty bad, partly due to lack of a style. It's a mess. XD

I think someone already linked the Ultimate Guide but you should definitely check that out. It's super helpful. :)

I think that's it! Read you around! :)

Hey, Skyraa! I'm excited that you have strong feelings about human rights because I do too :). I noticed you play a lot of instruments and they are all so beautiful! I do ballet, and those instruments come in a lot in the music. 

I can't wait to see your art style, I love how everyone can draw so good. I applaud you for being able to do acting, even if it is a side role, I can't even go to an audition without having a mental breakdown, haha. Making costumes is fun! I've tried my hand at making some, and I like finding someone who likes it too. :)

I will try to remember your pronouns as best as I can! :)

Welcome to the CB, Skyraa Amber! Read you around. 

Oh, and read the ultimate guide Majestic Mary linked, it's super helpful!

*drops through the ceiling*

*brushes imaginary dust off of shoulder*

What'd I miss?

Sorry, lol, the Hamilton soundtrack is stuck in my head and I'm a bit obsessed with dramatic entrances atm. Hi, Skyraa! I looove your name. I used to go by Sky (and HeroesOfOlympus, so if you see a cringey post under that name it was me) but now I'm dreamiing or dreamii! 

I'm just your resident not-so-helpful-helper, bad artist, song-writer, Introvert™,  awkward-book-dragon, dog-lover, hyphen-user, gay bean, and potato head. So! How are you today?

(xe/xyr is used like 'Xe went out to get xyr book, but the book xe found wasnt xyrs', right? Please correct me, I want to get them right.)
