#wizard 101 and club penguin

look. I am willing to admit I am wrong about many things.

however. one thing I am definitely right about is that small children should have, instead of a smart device and tiktok, an ancient shitty dinosaur of a computer running windows 98 with a crt monitor. and instead of an internet connection it has ms paint and freeware king's quest and solitaire and minesweeper and pinball and a mario knockoff and 800 words of paw patrol fanfic in a word document somewhere

YOU MENTIONING PETPETPARK AND PIXIE HOLLOW BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES

THOSE WERE SO FUN

YESSSS dude I loved petpet park but I could NEVER remember the name. There was a post going around on twitter with old online kids games and that was on the list and I was like HOLY SHIT

[2000skidagain]

Just Webkinz and Poptropica. My parents were against any game that had a chat feature (that didn’t let them turn it off). No Neopets because they said it had gambling in it, which is strange since I think Webkinz also had gambling.

Which ones did you play?

It’s really sad that there’s no longer places on the internet that’s just for tweens/kids anymore, Chai. When I was 9 there was Club penguin, Pixie Hollow, Toon City, Wizard 101, Freerealms, Jumpstart, Movie Star planet and so many others that we could go onto. A place where kids could be safe, chat, make friends. I was obsessed with all of them and would constantly beg my mom to make me an account. (Rip her email) But now, there’s little to no such thing anymore. Now kids are going into spaces they shouldn’t be or making friends or interacting with adults resulting in them being put in danger because of this.

I'm a little torn on this one. Believe me, I used to love Neopets and all of its offshoots, loved having this place that was just for me, but the truth is, those places were never completely safe. There were always creeps lurking, probably more than bears thinking about, and even at that age, I knew they were there and that I needed to be careful. Basically, if it's exclusively for kids and has a forum or chat function, it's a pretty safe bet to assume it's swimming with pedophiles.

I get what you're saying though, there's really nothing like Club Penguin or Jumpstart anymore. Although if it makes you feel any better, there are still places on the internet that are just for kids... there's apps, and Cartoon Network still has games. My little cousin loves My Singing Monster.

1 for the behind the scenes fic writing asks

What was the first fandom and/or pairing that you wrote fic for?

If you count published fic on a fic-specific site? Avengers.

If you count fic before I knew it was fic and was posted online, probably Wizard 101 or Club Penguin!

If you count fic before I knew what fic was and it was just me writing for fun, it was Spyro x Kingdom Hearts crossover!

Might Regret this and delete it later but answering a question about my most traumatic experience made me want to list all the fucked up and just...weird as fuck things that have happened to me. Like I can't sleep til I do this. Maybe it'll be cathartic I dunno:

Tw: Sexual assault, all other assault?

-Age 3 force fed Tabasco

-Age 2 Thrown in pool by Stepdad

-Age 4-6 locked in room when parents screaming at one another

-Age 6 or 7 Witnessed mom throw a hairdryer at stepdad because he verbally abused her.

-Age 5 Fell off a table from dancing and broke my leg, my dad didn't tell my mom.

-Age 2-7 Forced to stay at the table (sometimes falling asleep) cause I couldn't finish my food.

-Age 7 Forced to eat chicken and dumplings and immediately threw it up (still can't eat It today)

-Age 7 Got laughed at by my whole elementary school class because we had to say our times tables in front of the class and I couldn't get past 5's. Sobbed in front of them all.

-Age 8 Moved across the country to a whole new state.

-Age 8 lived with a family friend for a year who had five other kids (add on myself and my three siblings) so there was not quiet ever for that whole year.

-Age 9 Cried in front of *that* class about math and being the new kid.

-Age 9 Got pressured by neighborhood kids into stealing from 7/11.

-Age 10 Got made fun of for having certain friends

-Age 11 Got made fun of in fifth grade for still playing pretend.

-Age 11, Almost lost friends cause I tried to convince them I was a real witch (damn you halloweentown and your influence).

-Age 12-14 Pervy PE teacher that made the girls all do squats and the boys do jumping jacks. Never the other way around.

-Age 13 A middle school science teacher is Arrested for child pornography.

-Age 13 Had a boy tell me that kissing me made him realize he was gay.

-Age 13: Become my science teachers' TA (different teacher than the one above). Mostly spend the time watching cash cab and Bill Nye in his room.

-Age 13 I received my first tiny acer laptop and start playing Webkinz online, club penguin, and Wizard 101. (Also looking for dates on there but I don't tell people that).

-Age 14 Got my first flip phone, add my friends' contacts for text. We don't have Internet yet.

-Age 14 Start playing around on Omegle. Where kids SHOULD NOT BE.

-Age 14 Met one of my best friends on Wizard 101 and cheated my bedtime and played more when I really should have been sleeping.

-Age 14 Read Twilight, got obsessed. Started my first babysitting gigs. Overpriced myself but they paid it so.

-Age 14 Best friend in person at the time was a really bad influence and decided to pretend she was possessed and drown me in a pool. I begged her to stop and she pretended that the demon in her left.

Okay it's about to escalate:

-Age 15 Tried out for my first play, it was hairspray. I wanted to be one of the leads. I could sing but I couldn't dance. I ended up a techy.

-Age 15 Had my first girl/girl relationship And I kiss her on Halloween and I like it and she says she likes it too. But then she has to break up with me cause she's Mormon and doesn't want to leave her church.

- Age 15 Gets into an online relationship with two British guys from Omegle who are definitely adults. Sent them underage nudes cause I didn't know better.

-Age 16 Said British guys decided to blackmail me with my nudes and threatened to post them online if I stopped meeting with them over cam. (I was regularly doing shit over cam with them. It was gross). Told my mom, she had no idea what to do. She just took away my phone and laptop for a while which??? Didn't do anything to help???

-Age 16 Started going out with my first in person boyfriend after we sang owl City at the same time and fell on top of one another on the theater stairs. LMAO it was so cringy.

-Age 16 Six months later I broke up with him over text by trying to scare him away by telling him I thought I was a fallen angel so he'd think I was crazy. (He was ignoring me a lot so I was done) Then I gaslit his friends and said he broke up with me. (I don't act like this anymore, teen me was WILD).

-Age 16 Pretended I was in a romance bdsm novel and handcuffed myself to my own dresser and had to make an excuse for my parents not to come in, so they wouldn't see me.

-Age 17 Met my current partner of 10 years over Tumblr, we started talking over messenger then skyping every day.

-Age 17 Parents kept fighting and stressing out younger siblings so I had to take them all to the park to get them out of the house.

-Age 17 Mom kept telling me that my partner over Skype was a 56 yr old man. (He looked 19 to me).

-Age 17 I finally got my own room.

-Age 17 I ended up trapped in my walk in closet while naked because there was a brown recluse in a power stance. I stayed in the closet for an hour until it moved.

-Age 18 We had to move to a house where we didn't have enough rooms for everyone so I was put into a makeshift room in the dining room where I had no privacy.

-Age 18 My partner visited for the first time.

That's where I'll stop. Holy hell. It feels good to go through it all. I'm sure there's more. But this is just some of the weird things that have happened over my childhood and teenhood lol. Not to mention everything that's happened in my adulthood. That'd be a whole novel. Maybe this is why I follow Loki because I've been through so much chaos 🤔

[luster--duster]

welp since the finale is Wizard 101, Toontown and Club penguin all togther decided to keep to what i said (i know nothing of Wizard 101 so kept to what i said in my tweet)

[littletism]

I played webkinz, club penguin, and wizard 101. I don’t remember the other games

2000s baby

I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO ADD WIZARD 101

[puppyeared]

Wait another wizard 101 sufferer? Another lost soul sucked into the world's most entertaining grind-game? Another victim of the binge purge cycle where you want to do nothing but play followed by several months of just not caring? Another nostalgia-driven casual gamer reminiscing about when pvp was fun and not a toxic wasteland? Another with several dozen people in their friends list they wish to log in just once more when the binge purge cycles align?

oh i was a club penguin enjoyer. are u okay though

[curekeigen]

" last online: 15/11/2011 " (itto)

plot: you and itto were online friends back in the day where games like club penguin and wizard 101 were very popular, and always played and talked together online. however, one day you've never heard from him again.

content warning: angst, dialouge that screams early 2010s

Asking the Real Questions (Episode 3)

Welcome to “Asking the Real Questions” where we ask the fandom and non-fandom related questions that are the questions we should really be asking instead of the commonly posed ones!

This episode instead of asking “which batkid grew up playing computer games” because they all definitely did, were asking: which of these early 2000s massively multiplayer online games did you most of the batkids played? (Tag who you think played what if you wanna be more specific)

[pwurrz]

“oh my god don’t tell me gen z doesn’t know how the internet used to be”

how old do you think gen z are exactly?? who do you think grew up playing toontown, and club penguin, and webkinz, and animal jam, and wizards 101, and poptropica, and moshi monsters, and pixie hollow??? who do you think was logging on after school to the websites for toys like barbie, or polly pocket, or my little pony, or littlest pet shop and instead of being bombarded with ads got to actually play exclusive flash minigames and colour digital colouring books and do general kid things??? because it sure as hell wasn’t millennials!!!
