Wow, it matches your avatar/signature pic!
Crossing my heart
Open wide
You're my crystal and clover
All of me

Is dedicated to hold you

Swear to God
Double knot
What would you do if I stole you tonight? (Ahh ahh)
Why waste time? (Ahh ahh)

'Cause the world goes on without us
It doesn't matter what we do
All silhouettes with no regrets
When I'm melting into you
'Cause I belong in your arms
I belong in your arms

Aaaah, so many years have gone by! <3

I still remember joining Evelon, back in April of 2007, floundering around a bit on the Freewebs after clicking on a Fellox displayed in someone's Wajas profile, and just happening across the forums. Lucain didn't even exist yet, and, when they were released, one particular Lucain of mine was the first thing I ever bought online. To think, had I not happened to click that Fellox or click the right button, I never would have been here in the first place.

This place has seen me through a lot of years, through a lot of things, some good, some bad, but through everything, I've always loved this place. I came back after about a year of hiatus, even when things in real life made roleplaying here difficult, because I just couldn't let it go. I've been around so long, Evelon being my happy online home away from home, that I honestly can't imagine what things would be like if I hadn't wandered in that one day.

A lot of us have grown up a lot since originally joining and, though many of us are continuing to grow up, attending college or university, working, settling down, starting families, through all of it, I hope we all can continue to be together as a community here for a long time to come. I am honored to serve as one of your mods!

(P.S. I NEED that Snowball, so I'm totally grabbing one! <3)

Wow, ten years?! That's freaking incredible, haha! (And come to think of it, that means that I've been around for eight years now. And I'm only eighteen. Holy cat. @__@) This site has been such a joy for me, and the greatest escape when I've fallen upon hard times. It's hard to think about where I'd be now without Evelon, to be honest. Although I've been very and and off with my time here, I'm honored to be a part of the community. ...Now if only uni will stop kicking my butt so I can get back in gear. ;;

Regardless of whether or not I'm here at any given point in time, Evelon has become a part of me. So, thank you for all the staff who have made this possible, and to the entire community who has just been so supportive and fun.

So... we've got one ten year mark. Let's aim for two!
(And I'm snagging a Snowball before they disappear too. <3)


A beautiful moon shines above again tonight,
And it sheds light happily over the world.
As for me, I'm just worthless, good for nothing,
Dreaming at daybreak, creeping at dawn.

Still I'll scream into the sky, hoping that somebody will find me.
I want to run, but there's no way out--
No bright future in sight.
But I still fly up like a butterfly, hoping that you'll find me.
A crescent moon, ugly children of the stars, flying with broken wings...!

Hard to believe this site has been around for so long, wow. Everything still feels so hip and young~ X'D Even harder when I remember I joined in 2009, which was seven years ago. I was eleven, lmao. Time really flies when you're having fun, I guess! This place has been such a blessing through the years and I hope it remains so for years to come. c:

Can't say enough thanks to the incredible staff and the wonderful community for keeping this beautiful place up and running. Happy 10th, Evelon!

Definitely snagging a Snowball while they're still up~


I think back to the time when my search first began,
I left behind those shores of sand
For the endless everlasting world out there.

I know that with this burning passion driving me
Someday, somewhere I'll finally see
The light I have searched for everywhere!

I didn't post here before because I didn't think I had anything to say, but actually I kind of do. I joined Evelon when I was...eleven or twelve? Technically too young but it's too late now haha Anyway, it's the first place I put any consistent effort into writing even if said writing kind of sucked at the time, and it's been formative in...weird ways. Um. My presence here has been patchy for a while but it still feels more or less like home.

Also I guess I should grab a Snowball while I still can.



What are you looking at?

*slides in to nab a Snowball*

When I first started Evelon, I was rather lost in life.  I didn't know or understand how to relate to other people and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with myself.  Interacting with the people here; having that place to come to, meant the world to me at the time.  It was literally my sanctuary.  ^.^

I spent a good few years on here before I had to take custody of my niece (she's seven now, the daredevil) and my responsibilities piled up on me in a way I simply didn't know how to handle.  I had this baby that I had to take care of and I was still struggling with what I wanted to do with my life, but I always remembered Evelon.  Finally, I did find my way back here.  It's not neccessarily a sanctuary for me anymore as much as it's a vacation or a retreat.

I'm claiming one of those darling Snowballs.

I can hardly believe it has been so long. I have been here since before I was married, this place and all of you have been such a profound part of my life even though I'm no longer as active as I'd like to be. Here's to another 10, so that one day I can introduce my son to you and let his little creative mind unleash itself.
"I have been hidden, scorned, adored, worshiped, forsaken, coveted and banished more times than I care to count. But the one thing all those experiences cannot steal from me is the gentle soul I was born with, the kind heart I have molded, and the bright ideals for the future that have lit my way through the darkness of the past."

I was hesitant to say anything, because I know I haven't been around very consistently through the years. But after thinking it over, I realized that I might have a thing or two I wanted to pitch in. When I originally started in with Evelon, it was still a part of the MML proboards site. I was very young, and so was Evelon. That was ten years ago, and a lot has changed for both parties. I drifted away from writing for a while, got married and had a kid of my own. I spared thought to it every now and again, but I couldn't bring myself to actually make an effort to come back until Crow convinced me. It's amazing to see how it has grown and evolved with the users and staff, and just how different everything is while still remaining true to the original concepts. Having lost pretty much everything I used to have on here over the years - mostly through poor record keeping on my part - it's like starting entirely new, and I never have been active on what I consider the "new" site (Even though I've technically had an account for six years?). But I still get those little hints of nostalgia, and I still recognize the creatures, and I still want to throw all my money at you.

So congrats on ten years - you guys are doing an excellent job. Thanks for keeping it real. <3

(P.S. - I may need one of these Snowballs to restart my massive hoarding problem, so I'm taking one)

The Code is still up, so am I still able to claim a Galaxy Snowball?  It has a perfect little face.



I see the stars,

Drifting aimless
I feel their heat
warming, selfless
I will give... I will take



I will feel the stars crash, crash down
