The New Geography of Diamond Island

Hello, dearest Islanders!
I have some *very* exciting news to give you all! As many of you know, yesterday was the Seafood Banquet, where I invited several friends to come and raise awareness against the violent fish rebellions that have been plaguing our country these past few months.

This picture represents a rather bad pun. 

I would love to tell you all about who was in attendance, but I have decided to reserve that information for the Society Gems magazine (their blog post should be coming out sometime next week!)

However, since many diplomatic changes occurred, I felt that I should update you on the current status of our beloved island. You see, not only my friends were invited...I had also extended an invitation to the Black Fish! I hoped to develop a more amicable relationship, and I do think that we have begun down the right path to accomplishing just that. 

During the party, the Black Fish announced that they had flooded 21/23rds of the island. You can imagine my fury, when I had wished for more friendly diplomatic ties between the two of us, and I immediately declared this fraction to be "debatable." However, it soon became clear that the area that had been flooded (its size still remains debatable) was the unexplored territory we had not wanted. Therefore, I told the Black Fish that the land she had flooded, she could keep. No civilians were harmed in this process, nor was any land actually lost. 

In other words, this did not happen. 

I had believed that the Black Fish was satisfied with these arrangements. However, judging from their most recent blog post, it seems that the war will continue. 

I will be posting the most recent Diamond Island Map (which includes the fish's territory) as soon as it is made. In the meantime, know that these events have not changed any fundamental aspect of life on Diamond Island. This, I am sorry to say, includes the safety measures that were put in place. Please continue to follow these to protect yourself and your family.

On a happier note, during the Seafood Banquet, we developed a new Pledge of Allegiance!

I pledge allegiancecensjdlkfhskdj

to the Island

and all of its diverse species and cultures

And to the diamond that made it rich

one island,

under mother nature,

divided,

with peace and aquatic habitats

For all.

All the guests signed the first draft of this pledge, and it now proudly hangs in the Palace. 

Until next time, dear readers!

Much love,

Island Queen

a quick note from the fish

yay! that was our 50th post! *does the island's national dance a few times in celebration* and a "warm" welcome to our newest blogger

Yes. this is what google came up with when i seached "50th celebration." Thus, I am happy to report that our blog is officially "aged to perfection" 

Anyway, wow, I thought the humans were obvious, but blatenly saying you are joining my army only to take me down from the inside?? No offense, but It's like sometimes creatures just forget that fish have access to the internet and can read...

yes, I even have allies on desktop backgrounds and screensavers on most computers...amazing where you can find fish to join your evil army these days, huh?

You know I was actually excited to relax on a peaceful island and put the war on hold for a while, but threats like these just can't be ignored. So much for our "truce" and "amicable" dinner.  But alas, I supposed some wars just can't be solved with some fruit roll up sushi and a few glasses of root beer...*sigh*. But anyway, I wouldn't try  joining our army undercover because I have already warned all of our recruiting agents (including the digital ones). So just remember citizens of this island, not to sound creepy (although I guess that's my job), but: The fish are always watching you...The. Fish. Are. ALWAYS. Watching. You.
THE.
FISH.
ARE.
ALWAYS.
WATCHING.
YOU.

Yes, google images does have some very odd results when you search "evil fish."

Hmm....I guess that explains the classic Diamond Island saying, "goodnight, don't let the black fish's agents bite"
Toodles,
The BLACK fish

Melody's Tail (hahaha, get it? I have a tail because I'm a mermaid, and I'm telling my tale)

Hello everyone!

My name is Melody, Princess of the Merfolk. Or, I used to be a princess. Long before the evil black fish took over the island, the ocean was filled with merfolk that happily swam about and interacted with both fish and humans. We kept the peace between the two races, and my grandpa, King Triton, always made sure to give the island folk the best weather possible, and my mother Princess Ariel and father Prince Eric always made sure that everyone was happy.

Weren't we such a cute family long before the black fish existed?

That is until the attack. The black fish came in with her army of minions, slaughtering all the good people of our species. If it wasn't for the fact that I was hiding away in my secret underwater cave, I would have been dead, just like them. Now, you all must be wondering how a fish could take over mermaids. Well, we had traitors among us, who are still allied with the black fish.

Since that day, I have vowed to get revenge on the fish that ruined my life. Having openly joined the black fish's ranks, I plan on taking her down from the inside. (My alliances, of course, are with the Island Queen and her beautiful daughter, Daisy).

On a different note, when I googled my parents to see what photos came up, I was shocked, and quite disgusted, to find this one appearing ten (yes, I actually counted ten) times:

Hey, this kind of reminds me of the picture Daisy found of Aladdin!

A Mildly Entertaining Story

Dearest Islanders,
I only have time for a short post, but since I haven't written in a while, I thought I'd share a mildly entertaining story:
Today, as I was visiting this blog and responding to my daughter's wonderful blog post, I began clicking around in the fish gadget we have displayed on the side. Then I realized that, by doing so, I was inadvertently feeding the Black Fish.
Oops.

That's all folks! Check back soon for the Society Gem's coverage of my Seafood Banquet, which is coming up in exactly 9 minutes!

Much love,
Island Queen

Daisy Discovers Omegle

deer islanders,
Today i found a website called omegle.com (i think you say it like "oh-me-gell-ee") and its where you can talk to strangers
so i decided to try it
i started talking to my first stranger and they were nice

then we talked a lot about things and they were nice becuse they like unicorns too

and i think this website is really cool becuse you can talk to strangers even though mommy tells me not to

but sometimes the strangers tell you weird things 

when i was talking to the stranger we talked about santa

thats weird because mommy told me santa was real but maybe he isnt

and if santa's not real, did mommy lie to me the hole time?

I would also like to inform you all of a little segment of my blog posts I was thinking of starting. I've been pondering beginning a mini-series of my blog posts titled: "Inquiries from an Diamond Islandian Woman." It would only be a couple words long, 1 or 2 of these posts in between my regular blog posts, in which I enlighten you with the wisdom-full thoughts I've had throughout my day. Here is my first entry:


Inquiry from an Diamond Islandian Woman #1:
"Doubt is merely fear of the future."

SNEAK PEEK: Seafood Banquet Coming Up!

Hello to all you readers! 

Of course, this blog is the clear place to get news. With such island favorites as Diamond Giver, Genevieve Millianette, Island Queen, dark figures such as Azlyn and the Fish, and our very own princess Daisy, this blog has become the hottest place on the internet! 

However, everyone felt that it was missing one thing. Sure, you readers come here for news. But what about the hot, juicy celebrity gossip?

Society Gems Magazine has been granted exclusive access to this blog, where we hope to give you all the best coverage of the inside lives of your favorite celebrities!

Today, we start with a special SNEAK PREVIEW of our next issue, where we have been granted exclusive permission to cover the Island Queen's Seafood Banquet! This event is being held to raise awareness against the Fish Rebellions, and, as the only magazine allowed inside, we are sure to give you all the details you want to hear!

EXCLUSIVE! Our working cover for this weekend's issue

 

And here is the leading paragraph of our featured article: Why The Postponing?

While the Fish ravage the countryside, a Seafood Banquet is being planned within the walls of the Island Queen's palace. This party was intended to raise funds for the anti-Fish movement, a cause that would save our island from possibly years of war. And yet, today, the Island Queen postponed her party to next Saturday. This cancellation brings up a lot of questions. What were her motives? Many have rumored of possible other plans (any hot dates we don't know about?), but some have accused her of being in alliance with the fish. Others insist that their beloved Queen could not possibly have anything to do with the rebellions tearing her country apart. Others have asked: what is next for our country? Will the fish see this as a victory? Many are inclined to think not, but some have already heard rumors of another fish attack that got out of hand. We are still awaiting a comment from either the Queen or the Fish themselves to confirm or deny this report. 

Response from her guests, for the most part, seems rather joyous. "YES YES YES!!! :D :D so happy" said Diamond Giver, one invitee, in a private message. Already several have responded that they will still attend this postponed event. But this does not answer the fundamental question: Why did the Island Queen postpone her party in the first place? We at Society Gems believe we have uncovered the answer. 

Read the rest of the article, and more on the Fish Rebellions, the Diamond Island Split with Azlyn, and more in the upcoming issue of Society Gems Magazine! 

Not swimmin' with the fishes!

Greetings humble islanders!

Your beautiful island noblewoman has safely returned home! I know you all have missed my darling blog posts that once graced your computer screen! Woe is me that I have not written in so long. Nevertheless, in my defense, I was forced to flee my home. I know that all the peasants are probably thinking "Oh, but Genevieve, the most magnificently gorgeous human being to ever touch their feet to land [which is of course inaccurate because I'm too rich and important to have my toes come in contact with soil...eww!] you  blessed us with the knowledge of your epid, your mobile internet device." To my dismay, my epid fell out of my llama skin coat pocket as I was walking up to Azlyn Aeron's castle. Into her mote of pirañas. 

He thinks technology is delicious.

With a sliding of extremely expensive technology against llama pelt, one of the only epids on Earth was lost. Thus, on my journey from Azlyn's home to mine, I could not communicate.

The journey was brutal, I had to spend a whole half-hour (30 minutes of torture!) riding one of the giant fish that was enslaved since the war. We travelled along the coast until I reached the wreckage that had once been my estate. 

It was a disaster! Dead fish strewn across my lawn, the leftovers of war (no food pun intended, those beasts are not in my taste!) Fish were piled in every room. A few smart ones had managed to live in the bathtub for a while...

My feline Domitus Enobarbus wasn't thrilled. 

yet soon realized that soap isn't fish food. 

Naturally, I was rather upset (I had lost 1000,00000,00000 of my 100000,00000,000,00000,000000,000000,0000000 in that palace!) Not to mention some family heirlooms, such as my mother's hairbrush and my first 1000-dollar bill [rewarded to me when I was five for dusting a lamp... never doing that painstaking chore again!] Yet I recruited some 100,000,000 peasants to rebuild my gorgeous place of residence (and I gave them the sickly looking fish, which I believe is a fair exchange for the very little I ask of them.)

So my mansion has returned to full beauty and perfection! My llamas ran away though, so my llama farm project has been somewhat setback, though I will inform you of my future ventures!

From the beautiful,

Fitz Lady Genevieve Vertiline Constance Esther Rowena Millianette

Also, regarding recent events in our country's history, the splitting of Diamond Island does not concern me at all. I am great friends with both the Island Queen and Azlyn, thus I have no complaints. Not to mention my palace is directly in between the two nations. Yet I hope to someday (when I get my affairs, and llamas, in order) to establish the land on which my palace resides as a neutral ground between the two nations (such as Washington D.C. in the United States.)
