[Guest]

Moving this shortly <33 This was another original nyoom girl cx

But here she is! The third one I had saved ^^ I wanted to get them all posted before I forgot.
Pff, these last two have been moon/star themed. Can you all tell I like space? cx
I actually adore this one. I messed with her design a bit before posting her now, as it was more.. solid grey than what it is now.

This one is again a writing prompt competition. I'm looking for four (technically three) things! <3
For the first two, you can compliment up to THREE PEOPLE for each section, using the same 100 word max for each person <33

1) A compliment for a Buttermilks cowmunity member! (100 words max)
2) A compliment for a Buttermilks staff member! (100 words max)

But the one that I'm looking at the most:
3) In 400 words, tell me about her first time seeing snow!

Optional:
4) You have 200 to 400 words max to write anything you like about this girl c:


Note: You may go over all limits by ONLY 10 words, no more than that! <3

dinah, you are honestly so sweet. i love to talk to you in both the buttermilk and rise discord since you always have something interesting, relatable, or straight up hilarious to say. you have such a nice coding style and i absolutely love all of the concepts you have in rise as well as the discussion you have contributed to the saint ivory's rp, which you did a lovey job on setting up. i'm really glad you joined the community <3

staff member:

knight, i just want to start by saying i sincerely appreciate all the work you do. you are very calm when addressing any issues inside and outside of buttermilks, and this has honestly made me feel really at home in the buttermilk community. you do so much to make sure that we are content and that there is hardly any drama within the species. i adore each and every single one of your designs and can't wait to see more. i sincerely hope you stay with buttermilks for a long time. you have done a fantastic job so far.

first experiences with snow:

She was just a calf at the time. She had woken up to her mother yipping in excitement, bounding around her stall. Purnama, being a tired and lazy calf groaned at the blinding white light that had filled the barn through the windows. "Purnama! Wake up dear!" Her mother cooed excitedly, nudging anxiously at her flank. She had let out another groan of disapproval before getting to her hooves, peering around the barn warily as she began to wake up. Suddenly, the doors swung open, one of the owners heading inside. Her name was Annabelle, a pudgy girl with long blonde hair and striking green eyes, resembling the shade of the light grass of a field.

"Rise and shine! It's Purnama's first snow!" Annabelle said with a cheerful laugh as she made her way to the stall, slowly opening it to look at the mother and her calf. She briefly stroked her mother's ear before leaning down, lifting Purnama off the ground. "C'mon! After this, I'll give you your favorite blanket." Annabelle bounded outside, gently placing Purnama on the ground. The sun had already set, but a soft white layer of coldness had coated the ground, the white light reflecting off of the surface emitting light, allowing the calf to see in the dark.

Purnama shivered slightly, making her way forward and pressing her hoove deeper in the snow. She gasped in surprise, lifting her hoove up and looking under it. She then swung her head back up towards Anabelle, giving her a slight smile of approval as she bounded forward. Another calf, who was known as Sora, bounded forward besides Anabelle abruptly, startling her and causing her to leap forward, plummeting into the snow. She was knee deep at this point, looking back at Sora with a playful grin before she sunk herself further beneath the surface of the snow, only to emerge as if she was popping out of water, covering the other young calf in snow. Laughter filled the air as Annabelle watched, clutching her sides from laughing at Purnama's seemingly revengeful tactics.

cowmunity member:

1. Zip
The first person I'd like to compliment/thank is Zippo for introducing me to this species in the first place. Not only have they been an awesome friend within the cowmunity but they're a joy to talk to any time. Zip's one of those people who helps cure a bad day by simply existing, giving encouragement and advice whenever needed. She's also my Internet grandma, so I couldn't not complement her. ; )

2. Micki
The second person I'd like to compliment is Micki because they're a joy to talk to and we share many of the same interests, making conversations enjoyable and honestly, quite in depth. There's nothing like having a good ol' back-and-forth interesting convo when you're bored.

3. Sea Jay/Captain Jay/Lucifer
The third person I'd like to compliment is Captain Sea Lucifer. I love seeing you in chat as well as all the animal pictures you supply the server with. There's no such thing as too many memes, puns or animal pics so keep up the good work, lol.

staff member:

1. Vin
The first staff member I'd like to compliment is our favourite cryptid, Vintage Rose. While she doesn't pop up much in chat, the brief interactions I've had with her are great and she handles admin duties amazingly well. Keep up the great work, vin!

2. Viv
The second staff member I'd like the compliment is Vivere! While we don't talk much, the conversations we do have are quite enjoyable and amusing, especially when animals and/or memes get involved. I enjoy the jokes and laughs she shares with the server. Plus she's insane enough to be an archiver. Good on ya' viv!

3. Juice Box
I hope it's not weird to compliment to artist of the cow I'm trying out for but honestly, you're a great person, Juice. My other favourite cryptid. Not only are your designs great but you're a joy to talk to when you do pop up in chat.

first experiences with snow:

The very first time Noko saw snow was a few months after she'd arrived at Stargazer Stables. Before that, she'd lived in places like Arizona where fire was common and cold water was only cold for a maximum of 3 minutes. Snow wasn't even a word in her vocabulary.. so it's safe to say that opening her eyes to find small, white balls of frozen water falling from the sky was quite a shock. She's embarrassed to admit this to anyone and will vehemently deny this story if you ask her, but the black and white heifer honestly that a volcano had erupted.

Goodness, the noises she made, running out of her stall and calling out to anyone who could hear her that they had to evacuate before the rest of the ash took them over. Thinking back, she realised how idiotic she sounded, but if you were so used to sunshine, heat and clear, night skies almost 24/7, wouldn't you be just the slightest bit startled to see a grey, cloudy sky and the ground covered in strange white softness that melted underhoof and disappeared at the first sign of heat.

Of course, with all that running and shouting she was doing, the poor girl eventually slipped and fell, hooves skidding on the snow until she crashed into a feeding trough. That's how Xena found her not long after, embarrassed with her head stuck in the wood.

After prying her out and guiding her inside to warm up, Xena picked bits of apple and grass put of her hair while explaining that the white substance was not, in fact, ash from a violent natural disaster and that they didn't live anywhere near one, but was a perfectly normal weather pattern called snow, Noko felt quite a lot better about herself.

Even with this knowledge, she's still a little wary about the cold weather occurrence, much preferring to stay inside the warm barn rather than play in the snow with the other cows.

extra:

Nokomis is easily one of the most clumsy cows in the barn, somehow managing to trip over her own hooves and once, her own tail(no one knows how that one happened, not even Noko herself - and she was there!) at least once a day. This wild child has been the cause of many a broken fence or bruised hindquarters in her days at Stargazer Stables, skidding across the ground with a startled yelp. It's truly a miracle that no one's broken a bone yet. She's trying to be better about it, but when you've got four left feet, standing up amd walking straight can a little more difficult than it seems.

You are super fun to chat with on the discord and I think the community benefits greatly from you being a part of it, though tbh I always imagine you as Peridot, haha. I hope you stay with the community for the long run and keep interacting with everyone in chat.
-moments.
I remember, in the group chat, you said you were really shy and that's why you hadn't said anything, well I'm really glad you chose to open up because you're a joy to have in conversations and your enthusiasm about the adopts is honestly extremely contagious. Keep being awesome!
-Kassypen
You are a really cool, positive person and you seem super active around the community. When I heard you were starting a trial I was excited at the idea that we'd have another positive figure in a bigger role around here, I really want to see you succeed, but so long as you be yourself I have no doubt you will.

staff member:
-vivere!
You, viv, were one of the first people I met in the chat. You're funny, friendly and an all around amazing person. Yet another down to earth member of this community's amazing set of staff members. I genuinely enjoy having a casual or maybe even weird conversation with you because you're such a wonderfully relateable and welcoming person.
-Kn!ght
I'll be honest, in my short time here you've had to stop me and let me know I was going to far, but you always respond in such a clear and calm way it really helps me understand my mistake, and I really appreciate that. You are very active when modding the chat, I don't think anyone could do a better job of watching out for everyone in the discord than you. Your name is a fitting title for someone so present in your role, and you're always pleasant to talk to.
-vintage rose
Vin, oh Vin what can I say that hasn't already been said. Everyone says amazing things about you, and they're definitely true. You've been maintaining the well-structured, engaging and open community surrounding Buttermilks since you came into ownership of the adopts. You manage everything so well and make it look effortless, you've already cultivated so much new interest, and not a single community member has ever been so much as unlikable. I really feel welcome, and I'm glad someone who's invested in the adopts is in charge <3

(sorry if i misunderstood how many people I could compliment coz i read it wrong hhh, I honestly have so much more good to say about all of you, you guys are some of the best people on CS and I'm proud to be among y'all >w<)

first experiences with snow:
star bloom woke to the murmurings of her barnmates, the clamoring of bells and hooves and hushed voices crowded a short distance away. She stood somewhat unsteadily on her four long legs, yawning in her petite young voice as she ambled towards the commotion, "What's going on, Ms?" She squeaked groggily up at an elder cow, her eyelids as wide as they could be when weighed down by sleep.
"The first snowfall has arrived." the skin at the corners of the cow's eyes crinkled as she looked down on the calf, whose ears swiveled forward and her brow scrunched. "Go out and see, little one, but be wary of the cold." The cow edged aside and let the dark calf slip through her place in the crowd.
It was beautiful, dark night, a nipping sensation stung her nose but she was far too focused on the white world before her. One hoof tentatively touched the snow and sunk in, it was soft and... wet... She looked up as the snow painted watery freckles on her face.
She smiled and wandered further, sinking more and more into the snow when suddenly she fell below the surface, hopping back out with a giggle and a kick. "This snow thing is fun!"

extra:
The strip on her front looks like a shooting star in a moonlit midnight sky, and her eyes look like the evening. Her dappled coat is like the ghost of fog whose image fades in the abyss of night.
I always loved the night, the faint chirping of crickets and the dreaming stars in the distance, an unimaginable distance from earth. The day can be beautiful, but it would be punishing without the dark cool of the night, where most see a time for sleep I see beauty.
She reminds me of the night, I honestly have to admit this is one of my favorite designs so far, it has so much potential and that's really exciting to me.
As soon as I saw her design I had a hundred ideas running through my mind, what would she be like? what does she do? Because it leaves her open to so much character, she could be cliche but she could be so much more than another moody night, she could be fast as a comet, she could be as bright as a star, she could be as beautiful as the moon, she could be mysterious as the night.
Every time I take a glance I have a new thought.
Thoughts of snow-layered nights, liquid stars drifting from the sea of lights above, blanketing the soil in their embrace.

Her potential is endless as the universe.

cowmunity member:
the cowmunity member i'd like to compliment is dinah.! dinah i can't begin to express my undying gratitude for how caring
and welcoming you were when i first entered the cowmunity. you and some others never became annoyed when i asked many questions and made me feel very welcome in the discord chat. <3 for that i'd like to say thank you and i am forever grateful
for you for making me feel so welcome. if it weren't for you who first responded when i came, i'm sure i'd still be unsure if i
really was able to let loose.

staff member:
i'd like to compliment vintage rose! vin is so kind and understanding, and very well-adjusted to handling situations. in the small scenarios that we have interacted, they've been nothing but sweet and just a lovely person in general. they're doing an amazing
job running the cowmunity and i look forward to getting to know them further. <3 they seem like such a lighthearted individual
and it is clear they care for the cowmunity and their friends quite a bit. it is a great responsibility to run a whole species and i
know they are very dedicated and care very much.

first experiences with snow:

a drop.
two drops.
three drops.

not quite four.
for estelle was quick to bury her shivering little nose back into the warm hay of her stall. curiosity beckoned her, however, and
the young calf couldn't help but to raise her pinned ears in a sudden urge to venture out further into the mysterious blanket of
white wonder. call her crazy, but even as her fellow moos advised her not to go, all she could feel was the crisp yet weirdly inviting
cold of the snow that gently glided down from the sky like pieces of hope and anticipation. her vibrant purple orbs reflecting the
curious scene unfolding in front of her, and it took all of her willpower not to run off into the snow while her owner was watching
a mere few meters away, rounding up the chickens to keep them warm in the inclement weather. inclement, one might call it..
but estelle would call it perfect.

first experiences with snow:

Hoku's first experience with snow went a little bit like this;
Since it doesn't snow often where Ahi Lele Grove is, the cows and bulls don't really know what the stuff is? Most of the cows are confident and know that it won't hurt them, but Hoku, not so much. She obviously didn't want to step out of the barn, and when she did, it was only a matter of time until something went wrong. The first time her little hoof touched snow, she bounced onto Lilo's back, causing them both to stumble and fall into the snow. Hoku is a smaller cow, so luckily Lilo didn't get hurt. But once they fell, Hoku bounced back up and dashed right back into the barn. She really didn't like the stuff. All the other cows tried to get her to come out, because well, it was of course harmless, but she didn't listen. For the first few days of winter she stayed in the barn, until on the fifth day, she had to be dragged out from the barn, and placed into the snow. She freaked out for a moment, bucking and trying to push out of Dylan and Davis's grasp, but she wasn't strong enough. She then realized, like the other said, that snow is harmless. It was just really cold. So, she eventually calmed down and faced the fact she can't hind from this stuff forever.

Cowmunity Member:
The cowmunity member definitely has to be Micki, i dont really get into communities in adopts too good but micki really stood out as a nice person to me, for example with my latest moo where you have to show something funny, even though they werent entering they still pmed me something to try cheer me up, which really just made me happy.

Staff Members:
The staff member has to be Vintage Rose vin does an awful lot to keep this cowmunity on track, she is caring and good at listening to other peoples opinions and suggestions, not to mention the absolutely stunning moos she creates.

But I also feel like Knight needs a mention, they help to keep the whole adoption centre running smoothly when vin is away, and i know that can be tough, knight does an amazing job of keeping things on the right track

----------------------

First Experience With Snow:
Astrid was eager on the morning of the first snowfall of winter, as the doors to the barn opened she bolted to the door because mornings mean food and Astrid definitely loves food. as she realised there was something different with the 'grass', Astrid quickly slammed on the brakes allowing her to stop dead at the door of the barn. she peered at at the strange white powder which covered her once green fields in confusion.

Astrid placed one hoof onto the freezing white snow and gave it a lick (incase it turned out it was food and she was in heaven) Astrid quickly decided it wasnt for her since itmwas cold and "not even tasty" so she headed back inside the barn, that was until she heard the distinct sound of her food rustling and before you could say "what the heck" she was already digging in to the food trough placed in the centre of the snowy field.

When she finally finished eating her food (and probably everyone elses) she came to the conclusion that snow isnt all bad, she saw the others leaping into the air with joy and decided to follow suit. spending a few hours leaping and frolicking in this strange white "snuh" as the others had been calling it.

"Perhaps snow is nice after all" she said as she was called back into the barn.

Personality:
Its safe to say Astrid is extremely food motivated, she would jump through a ring of firey chainsaws to get food, she often ends up eating everyone elses too which makes her one of the least favourite members of the herd, but she doesnt mind because all she needs is food. she will become quite aggressive if someone tries to take her food. The rest of the time Astrid is sweet and playful, often leaping into the air because she cant contain her happiness any more.

First Experiences with Snow: 141 words
LaLuna is a very bubbly, energetic girl. She is constantly running around doing things, never slowing down long enough for much at all. It's not that she hyper active or wild, she has simply always felt the need to never stop moving and never stop doing. But during the winter, while she was busily tacking up Christmas wreathes and putting colorful baubles on a tree, something strange started to happen. Little white flurries came drifting from the clouds onto the grass outside. From the moment she stepped out into the chilly air, she felt something she had never felt before. A complete calm, everything she needed to do dripped off of her and melted away. She spent the rest of the evening laying next to her window, silently gazing out into the every whitening countryside, without a care in the world.
Extra:
Despite her excitable nature, Lulu has a weakness for babies. Their soft coats and tiny hooves just melt her heart and she can’t help but rub her face against their tiny little cheeks. Although she doesn’t have any calves of her own, she often volunteers to help Bluebell when orphan calves are brought in, and she helps to care for them until they are taken to a forever home.
