ZA Timeline ♡ A Lovely 4 Years

Hi everyone! Today I'm gonna be participating in the February Title Challenge! This blog might wind up being a lengthy one, so buckle up! :sweat_smile: Anyway, let's go!

I was 12 1/2 years old when I ed ZA.

On February 12th, 2017, I was on YouTube late at night (wow what a shocker!) binge watching AwesomeFaceProds videos. I stumbled upon a video about Hyrule Amino, and I watched it out of curiosity. It caught my interest, and I ed it. I was mostly surprised and excited that there was actually an app that I was able to talk about my interests in Zelda without people being confused, and there were actually people who understood me.

Considering this amino was my first amino, it was difficult navigating how it even worked. Although, over the course of time, I made blogs that were featured, ed groups (I even ed the original Milk Bar public chat at one point when first ing-), made friends, and began figuring out Amino piece by piece.

I also kickstarted my photo editing hobby. That's when I started making edits on here for my blogs. I opened editing commissions, thought I was the best editor ever even though I wasn't lmao, and I began improving my editing.

In June, I ed the Secret Zeldas as OOT Adult Zelda. That's where I met my first group of friends, such as Ry and Ally and tons of other friends. I also ed the Gerudo Faction. I was big on ing groups (haha look how that carried over to now)

In October, I ed the Kakariko Chronicles as the FPN writer but I happened to take over leadership like a month later. I still lead it to this day

I participated in my first Secret Santa event this year, which was for Lilcreaper! Also, that's how me, her, and Ry got closer as a group.

Overall, 2017 was kinda just my year to get used to amino and how it worked

Right away in January, things were going great. I got accepted into The Hyrule Times as a writer. I started co-leading the Gerudo Faction and that's how I met Lilcreaper. I also happened to more groups during that time, such as Omni. At the time, it was GlitchWars though 🤭

Fast forward to July, I posted my most liked blog that got 512 likes total.

I also led the Book Club during this year that I shutdown after a while due to inactivity. Sad day :pensive:

In August, I became the Co-Leader of the Secret Zeldas, which is also where I switched to WW Zelda.

In November, I started leading The Hyrule Times. I was kinda nervous about doing it, but I'm still leading it to this day. From issue #221, I've come a long way.

I also participated in my second Secret Santa event this year, which is where I gave my gift to Shad!

Here, I leading the Gerudo Faction once again. This is also the same year that I kinda took a break from Amino. I kept trying to improve my editing skills while also focusing on school. I took my break around the end of 2019 if I right. But I kept leading my groups, ing more groups (such as ZA Monthly) and posted occasionally.

Summer of 2019, BotW2 was announced, and i fangirling with pretty much everyone. I posted my own blog about theories I had, as well as seeing what others had predictions for.

Around Christmas, I participated in the Secrer Santa event again and made my gift for Tabean!

Honestly, not too much happened this year that wasn't already happening

Now this, this was a wild year...aside from COVID. But, COVID also gave me more Amino time so :sweat_smile:

In March, HT got the chance to host their own Title Challenge to celebrate 4 years! I was super stoked to do that, and it turned out very well!

In May, I began leading the Secret Zeldas and now, almost every position is filled :)

In September, I began dating my lovely boyfriend Ry! We've been together for almost 6 months now, isn't that crazy?

I also won a title challenge myself! Back in October, there was the Haunting Tales challenge where we had to create a story based on horror and Halloween! I won with this entry and got my "Sage of Music" title. I picked that title because I have a huge love for music and I figured it was so fitting for me and I love it a lot.

I also found out I have the most titles on this Amino so that's fun

Participated in Secret Santa again and gave my gift to Aeria!

Also, Hyrule Times hit issue #200 this year!

I also ed a bunch of groups this year and I'd have to say 2020 was my most active year, as well as eventful.

Considering we're only coming up on March, not much has happened this year yet. Just to reflect, I'm honestly really proud of where I am right now.

Ry, Lil, Sky, Tika, Saku, Elahna, Van, Sarah, Mocha, Ashcan, Rachel, Elo, Icy, Anubis, Middy, Ally, Tea, Matt, all of Omni, Hyrule Times, Secret Zeldas, and Kakariko Chronicles, and everyone in every group I'm in, also everyone on my following list! I love every one of you with my whole heart and each and every one of you made my ZA experience the best it could ever be. I can't wait to spend the rest of this year and beyond with ALL of you

I hope to continue improving my editing and writing skills this year as well. I'm super excited for whatever 2021 has in store for me!

Thank you all so much for making ZA a lovely place, and thank you to everyone for being by my side :)
