[jesterden]

haven't been on lioden for a while. why? i got covid from my mother in law. so does everyone else in my house.

been focusing on not dying a lot lately. no time for pixels when im sleeping 90% of the day. ill probably be back soon for people wondering about witchwood / my project dude ethris.

Random surprise of the day: A cleftie born using no items! This is only the second time I've had a lethal born randomly during mass breeding. The lineart is soooo good!

[jesterden]

so horribly upsetting to see adults on salt blogs go after kids. first serval and the rest of your friends, and now the rival dude

so, the thing is, kids can do wrong things. I fucked up. Serv fucked up. I'm not up to date w rival's situation, however, so forgive me if I say anything wrong.

but it quickly becomes less about "these kids did something bad" and more about "I personally don't like this person". Kids grow up, we distance ourselves from things that we did before maturing. During the original July 2020, I had just turned 18, Serval and the other minor involved had just turned 17. All of us were in horrible places. I was living in an abusive situation where daily I feared for my, and my sister's, lives. Serval was figuring out his gender identity and struggling in general with his mental health, as was the other minor. Now that we're in better places, we've almost completely changed as people. The thing is though, we have legitimate trauma responses to some of the stuff thrown at us. Serval was doxxed, threatened, and ultimately went offline for a month straight and we thought the worst he had been struggling with ideation of unalive.

To this day, some of us still don't want to talk about Stratosphere. It has led to people becoming close to us and then threatening to leak our actual personal info. The infamous doxx from Lionews a few months ago was someone I know. People view us as this grand enemy when really we're just trying to have fun. And the thing is, it's a fucking Lion Sim. We're all losing life, objectively, just by playing this hellsite and being chronically online enough to fight about some of the shit that's been fought about.

If I had one piece of advice to give to Rival, being someone who went through this, is don't let the blogs bother you. They're an absolute miniscule amount of players out of the thousands that visit Lioden. Most people won't know who you are, or they'll vaguely recognize your name. The only reason you'd actually get "cancelled" is if you get geniune action taken against you from the site admins, such as chat bans or temp suspensions. Or if you pull a Sultry, but I really doubt that's what's going on here. It's more likely just another teenager pissing off the adults that think they run the Lioden community by being a stupid kid, because kids do stupid shit as your brain isn't finished developing until you're at least 25. You are gonna do stupid shit because you are human, even after that. That's just how it is. And if you need someone to talk to, you can either PM me here or on Lioden.

first dawn cub on site was born, and he's from Catalonia! honored that Dalton chose Cat as the stud. I can't wait to see this base spread, it really is stunning!

[dappled-dunhoof]

Hey lioden community. I am speaking directly into your ear right now.

✨ an update being kinda bad does not warrant this level of vitriol toward the staff or any other users ✨

[jesterden]

as you guys surely know, random players totally make all decisions on lioden.com.

totally not the admins who decided to implement the change instead of saying “no”. totally not. indeed, a random person in fact makes these decisions instead of the site owners who can actually change things. i myself made mudstone happen by saying “i want a ncl exclusive combo” once.

anyway i’m team retire the apps. no capitalism fights if there’s no apps to fight over.

[jesterden]

kind of late to post this, but I'm so glad witchwood spread her markings as well as she did. all of these markings went from extinct / struggling to common slots in about two months, this kind of growth usually takes five or so months for slots that are on other rls, it can take years for some slots.

almost all of them have been increased by more than 20 times what they were at her draw!

also friendly reminder, that i sell near clones of witchwood publicly. just check my trades for some high bo cubs! usually around 5 or more BO markings with other BO traits as well.

I got an ask that I'm not posting by itself just bc it might make people uncomfortable but geniunely what the fuck is this under the cut.

Ethris, The Condemned

starting a new project after my king on 187561 dies, so here’s his lore.

content warning for: body horror discussion, religious tones.

also there’s an unfamiliar name mentioned in this, being ethos. ethos is ethris’s nepheline father.

“You found them.” The angel’s voice is stern, echoing within Aiatar’s head as it speaks. “Ethos and the half-demon. Did you bring them back?”

Aiatar cringes as he shakes his head. “No... but I did find something else. They had a child, grace. His spirit belongs to us, his body, however...”

The angel’s unblinking gaze moves towards the bundle between Aiatar’s paws. He takes this as a cue, and removes the wrap to show off the cub. Small horn buds grow out of his head, far too sharp teeth in his mouth. “It is wounded.”

Sure enough, the cub cries. Aiatar looks him over, finding a large, seething burn on his side, the one closest to the angel. “I’ll take him away and allow you to decide the best course of action-”

“There’s no need,” It interrupts, glancing back to Aiatar, “You will raise it in the mortal realm. It will be instrumental in ending the demons, once and for all. They’ll trust it.”

He feels sick, listening to the angel speak of the cub like a weapon, but he nods. “Yes. As you wish.”

As soon as he finishes, the angel is gone, leaving Aiatar alone with the cub. His wound instantly scabs over, thick and scaly, but healing. “Ethos... just what have you done?”

about salt blogs

salt blogs need to stop following me

i have not interacted with salt in nearly a year. i do not want to be involved in it, i don’t endorse the bullshit that comes with them. i just simply wish to vibe, on the lion game, that i have fun playing. the only time i’ve chimed in on salt was the sultry situation, which i wouldn’t even call “salt”, that’s a whole fucking federal crime that needs to be reported.

look, i understand the allure of salt and all of that or whatever. and i admit i had a lot to do with it previously and i was shitty and i did shitty and petty things, said things i never should have. i do not want to be involved in salt anymore though. my mental health has vastly improved since july 2020. the fact i was struggling does not excuse any of the bad things i did, nor am i trying to paint it as such. i fully admit fault for spreading false information + not doing my own research. my actions are entirely, 100% on me.

but i’m putting this out there into lioblr:

I do NOT support salt blogs. I can’t stop you from following but any I’m made aware of following me will be blocked.

I genuinely do not care about the petty bullshit and accusation flinging. 99% of what I’ve been told about happening since I stopped interacting with salt either makes 0 sense or it’s just a fill in the blank machine on what someone could do to be “problematic”.

ending this with a simple message, and it’s to take care of yourself. drink some water, go outside for a few minutes and sit in the sun, if you’re able. the internet is a great time killer, and it can help a lot of people, it helped me meet some of my closest friends, but it’s important to take a break and make sure you’re being fair to your own mental health.

[jesterden]

so guess who finally was finished after five months. I'm likely going to change a few things going forward from here, but the Hysminai project is officially finished. This shows her as is. Any changes being done will be casual. She's a 6BO, 5 rare slot, basically a custom raffle lioness, unholy. Also a G1 corrupted or whatever but that's not as important. She changed a lot from her first concept but I could not be happier. If you want to stud, she's on 187711

[jesterden]

hey jester, apparently lots of the people who formerly had freesultry in their user were minors who were threatened / manipulated by her as well into doing it. just a heads up ^^

Yep, I don't doubt that at all. I know most of them are likely 16 (or to be honest, even younger), and don't fully realize the entire grasp of it, but it still makes me sick that there was that level of manipulation going on, especially right under the community. To be honest, I didn't know she was an adult until recently because I haven't been active as much. I feel for her victims as an abuse victim myself. I hope those who were manipulated realize what happened to them, and if need be, get help. My inbox is always open for you guys. I may not respond to every single post but most of the time I do read them, unless something major goes on.

And as a reminder to anyone affected by abuse, be it this situation or any other, you are NOT your abuser. They do not define you, and things will get better. People want to help you and want you to be safe. I promise.

[dappled-dunhoof]

I genuinely feel sick reading those screencaps like. Holy shit that is so inappropriate on so many levels.

I know (from personal experience) that that sort of interaction can seem acceptable when you’re a teenager in a situation like that, but it is NOT appropriate for an adult to be talking/acting like that with a minor. Full stop. There are adults out there who will try to make it seem normal, but that’s a HUGE red flag and it’s very important to be wary of that. If someone acts that way around you, tell an adult in your life that you trust if you can do so, so that they can help you get out of that situation.

I hate that I have to say this but if you think it’s appropriate to encourage a 14 year old to send dick picks to you, an adult, get the FUCK off my blog, this space is not for you and I don’t want you around here.

[jesterden]

i came a little late to the news, but holy fuck. i was never friends with Sultry but knowing that there are in fact predators in Lioden makes me sick. and the fact that they were able to be so visible in the community and have so many people running around with #FreeSultry in their users... everytime I think the lioden community hits peak bullshit there's something new.

i’m about to find out the minimum amount of sleep a human being can have in a month.

RL System Changes

So. Haven’t been here in a while, huh? Life got busy and I haven’t had a ton of time for Lioden recently, but time to talk about this I guess.

I don’t mind it, in summary, but I’m going more in depth about the raffle lioness system as a whole later down. Adding a read more bc this is a long rant post.

I’m not necessarily interested in a lot of raffle lionesses themselves. I like money more than I like having pretty pixels. I’m a marking preserver, I prefer to do my own projects with rare slots/keep rare slots alive when possible. I’ll go after heats sometimes, sure, but I mostly team up with my friends or other BOB members where they get the RL + clones and I would get King rights, in a scenario where we’re going after an RL. We’ve gone after... two (?) in recent memory, the Hellebore and the Ukame.

Raffle Lioness winners often face a very stressful time, so I think anything that could cut down on that works wonders for the community and is a good move. It’s not like there’s not other options for getting out the word you’re looking for a raffle lioness. There’s forum posts and the trading center. This doesn’t help the problem with marking slots dying, though, but we’re getting to that. When I’m conversing with an RL winner for a heat or something, I never want to stress them out. However, they’re often newer people who don’t know what the purpose of a raffle lioness even is, they’re not just pretty pixels, but they’re also a delivery system for dying markings or brand new ones. Newer players are confused by this, most of them don’t even know what a breed-only marking is, hell, a lot of Lioden veterans sometimes see a marking and go “is that bo or not?”. With the economy shifting towards BO attributes over applicators, the stress the winners are going to be under is only going to increase as more and more people start breeding BO.

This does nothing to solve the problem of RLs carrying dying marking slots, or extinct ones, going onto dead accounts, however. I’d like to see the Lioden team attempt to tackle a fix for that, be it a confirmation system, changing the entry fee, or the multiple RL system many have proposed before. This is a great first step in fixing RLs as a whole, as the winner experience definitely needed to be streamlined for their comfort and even safety. As someone who wants to keep rare slots alive and available, a change to help prevent these struggling markings from being doomed in limbo forever would be amazing.

I’m neutral on the user design situation though. I never cared much about designing RLs, and while I put on a few on the thread, I prefer working with what already exists and making my own projects.

I’ve been silent for too long and can no longer bear to keep this inside: @jesterden is a good person and deserves many good things.
