How is Kalons Adopts special to you: Some of my favorite characters are kalons. I've loved developing my characters in the community and making friends, even as I've started to become more busy and removed. I've made friends in the kalon community who I value dearly as my closest allies and I love developing my kals with them. I've been blessed with lovely people and gorgeous designs, so I feel like kalon adopts is more than just a community or an adoptable that I work for, but rather an integral part of my day-to-day life. I've invested a lot of time, effort and love into all of my kalons and they're real pieces of me that I enjoy sharing with others.
Give a shout out to a fellow community or staff member for the species: Akemi-chan has the most gorgeous adopts to ever bless this humble Earth and I am madly in love with her art style and creative designs. Akemi is a good friend and a beautiful person who is an honest blessing to know! She's one of the many cool people I've met in the community and her friendship is very dear to me.

haven't been here long, but the community is definitely a huge part of why i'm so into them. there are certainly some rough areas, but in general, everyone is super welcoming. it's nice to feel accepted into a community. y'all give it this weird sense of sorta family, which is something that means a lot to me personally, even if i don't really interact with you guys much. i've met some of my closest friends through kalons, and i imagine we'll continue to be close long after we've moved on from this place. lmao sounds p overkill for a virtual adopts page but i mean, i'm not lying.
shout outs;
@all the kalon staff; y'all put up with so much rubbish, it's honestly astounding. all of you are so incredibly helpful and tbh most of us don't deserve you, lmao.

@high noon; really wish i had your creativity. every single one of your designs is utterly amazing, and you're such a skilled artist o.o issa crazy stuff, red. >aggressive clapping<

@qpplepie; i feel like i'd be sinning if i didn't complement y'all. we don't really interact much anymore, but you're really freakin dope. you're always super nice to me when we do talk, and not just to me, you're kind to evERYONE. it's a quality i really hekkin admire and i hope y'all are aware of how awesome you are.

How is Kalons Adopts special to you: it was the first place where i really felt like i could fit in, and i've met so many wonderful people through it ! it's been really fun developing all my kals, and the artists are amazing at coming up with new and unique designs to keep my interest piqued. the community's so fun and inclusive, and super friendly as well !
Give a shout out to a fellow community or staff member for the species: *stars* ! my dude ! you always make me laugh with your dank memes, and you're always there for me if i need to rant about something, no matter how trivial it is. i've always been kinda scared to talk to anyone here, cause y'know, anxiety, but you just seemed so nice and approachable !

how are kalons special to me?: kalons are special to me because they symbolize dedication and hardwork in my eyes. it gives me something to look forward to everyday and inspire me to grow as an artist, creator and it really brings out my good sportsmanship and competitive nature!!
shoutouts:

watchdog. is my first and main shout out. his designs inspire me so, so much. he's incredibly talented and creative and by far one of my favorite artists on this site. if you don't follow his nursery batch designs, i'd 100% recommend taking a glance at his gallery, as his batches are so so beautiful and they just radiate hard-work, effort and creativeness.

karmel definitely deserves a shoutout. the species is so organized and well thought out, i love how much hardwork is obviously put into it and i love how detailed and clearcut everything is. it takes a lot of stability and heart and care and so much more to put this much effort into kalons and i am so glad this species exists. thank you so much for two years going on three of this amazing species!!

tuna fish will be my last shoutout. you work so hard as an archivist and you do so much for the community and i am eternally grateful for your hardwork! thank you so much for dedicating so much time and effort to kalons, you are important to us all. ♥

I'll start out by saying that since I joined this community, most of my time has been dedicated to kalons. I owe so much to this species. I've been around since the early hundreds, and have been staff for about a year and half. I've seen the species go through so many changes and sometimes hardships, but despite everything, we're still here.
Working for kalons has given me an outlet when my mental illnesses are acting up. I have a space I can come to, to relax and distract myself. I can always stream when I'm feeling lonely. And I have so much positive feedback, it's overwhelming sometimes. I've been able to grow in my art a tremendous amount. I've made incredible friends. There's just so much this species has given me.
I don't want to get long and rambley, but Kalons are very special to me, and I appreciate everyone in this community, and everything this community has given me.

Reading through everyone's try outs on my comps is a blessing and a curse, I just want to give you all the world. Please keep trying and growing and making this community beautiful just by being here!

How is Kalons Adopts special to you: This community has brought me closer to so many people over the short - but precious - time I've been part of it. It gives me a place to go on a bad day, because it's filled with so much positivity and beauty and friendship, it really brightens me up. I'm proud to have a kalon of my own who I love like a child, who one of the members of this community made for me, and I was offered a gift as well, and I just see how caring and compassionate and selfless these people are and they make me want to be more like them! So thank you so much.

@Cervidae - thank you for answering some of my first questions and helping me find useful materials that helped me get into the kalon adopts! although others reached out and gave me some advice, you gave me the most help and knowledge and set me up with what i needed to suceed!

@Bailey-Boo - you helped me find my feet in the community and you made me my kalon indie who i love to death. honestly you gave me the stepping stone i needed to find my way in this community, even if i'm still finding my feet i'm on my way there!

@_warrior - thank you so much for offering cascade as a gift, it was my first real interaction with someone in the community and i felt so appreciated and grateful!! you're so nice and it made me so happy.

@high noon - you gave me a hair edit just so that i could get my first kalon approved and that meant so so much to me. you were lovely and however busy i'm sure you were, you were incredibly kind and caring towards me and it's the attitude i really like to see from staff. you clearly have a passion for kalons and you want to see more people owning them and sharing their love with other people.

@recherché. - what the heck how was i granted such an amazing human being as a friend?? like, you've been so nice to me, you've helped me revamp indie, you've helped me code my bios, you've given me so much advice about the kalon community, you're even breeding your kalon with one of mine and i just-- like i have no words for how friendly you've been and i want to repay you back for that somehow. i wish these shoutouts gave you extra raffle entries or something cause you deserve one lovely <3
