Its weird how your whole life can change in a heartbeat. How everything you’ve ever worked for can be taken away, and next time you’ll need to work 10 times harder to get it back. This isn’t just fantasy: I’ve experienced it.
Well that was dramatic! I’m Ellen, Ellen of Jarlahiem. I’m from Britannia but my Ma (Essa of Jarlahiem) decided that myself and my brother would have a better life on the island of Jorvik. My brother. I can’t even speak his name. He ran of and left Ma and I all alone. On his 14th - two years ago- he went to join the Valedale clan. “Respect his choice” the elders tell us. I hope he failed initiation. I’ve lost you haven’t I? 3 years ago tomorrow Joh Jarl died, leaving the island of Jorvik divided into clans. He told us that at the age of 14 (when we become adults) each of us could chose which clan we wish to join. Tomorrow I’ll be at my ceremony. I think I want to rejoin Jarlahiem - the animal farmers. Over in the Epona clan they farm plans. We farm animals and corn. Our clans used fight to fight a lot over land until we built a fence. Now I can see you wondering about the other clans and their jobs. I suppose its very different in your day. The Firgrove clan mines coal and cuts wood, Valedale is in charge of keeping the balance of the island right, Silverglade is full of trades men and women, Cape west clan do fishing. Then there’s the Kalters. They’ve just disappeared but they live up North. Also there’s the Town of Pinta, which is the center of trades and life here. Tomorrow we’ll ride there for the ceremony. At the ceremony each of us will state what clan we wish to join. Then we’ll train for a year to join that clan: 15 is the age you can start work. Each clan has its own breed of horse, and we’ll be partnered with our soul horses. We were born together, even if we didn’t know it, and we’ll die together, defending the island of the force called Garnok. Garnok is evil and in our half a century of living he has appeared 4 times, and taken lives. He mainly takes the Valedale clan trainees, but there have been a few from other clans too. Ma is calling for bed now, its a big day tomorrow.

Have you checked out the lifetime shop in Moorland recently? Well, as you can see in the photo below it has a brand new design and also two new items (the saddle and the brown jacket). I think this means that there could be a lot more clothes coming soon. Since I'm a lifetime player, this is good but for some they may find this unfair as we all pay for the game, just we only have to pay once. But my reply is that they should get a lifetime as in the long run it's a lot cheaper then a subscription, and you get loads of extra offers and clothing. I'm very happy with this clothing! Did you know that the saddle is the first tack piece to be 'sold' in the lifetime shop? I've needed a white saddle for ages but they're all so expensive! I'm happy to say that this one costs a grand total of 0 sc. Also the jacket will be really useful for tonight's event, as it looks like a hunting jacket (we're having a hunting event).
I hope that there will be more clothes coming to the shop in future, rather then lots of codes. What are you opinions of the clothing? I laughed so much of this, it really brightened up my day! Some people are going on about how the preferred the games news on the show, but I think that the news page is for that and the show should be a bit of Star Stable fun if I’m honest. I guess for people who didn’t want to read a news page it was good but come on, watching them eat lemon juice is just entertainment. poor Games Master Ylva, she seems so sweet as well! "Hello! I am Varco Hesta from the valleys. What you haven’t heard of me? Well I’m a very famous MeTuber and I’m here today to do a view of the fashion week here! I want to see whats in this Autumn so I can make sure I have it all safely in my wardrobe. First thing I’d like to say, it’s amazing to here Raptor live! I LOVE his new album, its so cheerful and it makes all the people around Jorvik smile. Here in the city they are so lucky to have this kind of thing on all the time. Now onto the outfits. Some were too clashing, remember people two colours of the same shade can’t be next to each other! But here are so of my favorites that I shall be wearing around this Autumn! Now Li, that one with the pony tail would suit you! The whole outfit is out in the clothes shop, you have to go and buy it!"
So I had a little chat with a fantasy MeTube Jorvik celeb! Todays update was an Autumn/ Fall fashion week, with Raptors new song. I was hoping for the Birthday update, but it’s always nice to have the return of an old friend! I love things like this, I think they’re very clever and this really spurs you’re imagination. Will this ever appear in game? Isn’t it weird how the dots on the stars are moving around? When the last point of the star is found will there be some awesome quests coming? I’m sorry but I’m just hooked! This is so clever and one day I’d love to be able to do something like this, but I don’t have the ideas.
This video belongs to Northena, I’m just pointing it out as I find it very interesting! Have you seen the brand new products in the Star Stable shop? I love the pillows so much, I would love one in my room as for me it would reflect sso but for everyone else it would just be a beautiful pillow. I also like the shirts, but what I really want is the grey hoodie. It’s the kind of thing I’d wear but it would remind me of my favorite game. Ahhh I think I’ll just have to wait for Christmas and write it on my list to Santa!
Talking about Christmas, I saw a beautiful Jorvik writing set, and since my sister has started writing Star Stable fanfics (I’m proud okay) I want to get her something to write them in (typing isn’t her thing, she hand writes). I think it would be really cute and suit her perfectly. The only thing is it would cost about £19 with postage, which might be considered too much. I will have to work very hard to earn that amount! Many people look at the different stat categories on their racing tack and just think ‘as long as speed and riding are high we’re good’. Well, actually no. In racing there are many things that will make your racing better and you need to think about including as many as possible into your race outfit.
These are listed in my opinion of how important they are: Horse Swiftness - how fast the horse goes. Discipline - how quickly the horse responds to commands (change gait ect). Agility - how fast the horse changes direction. Strength - how high and fast the horse can jump. Endurance - how much damage the horse can take (the green bar). Character Riding - how fast you ride and how quickly the horse changes direction. Command - makes it quicker to change gait. Jumping - how high and fast the horse can jump. Caring - how long it is before the care symbols come up again. The order of how important they are varies from race to race. For example, in New Hillcrest race, there is a jump that requires you to jump a long way if you don’t want to swim. Therefore, having good strength and jumping is better for that race then having good agility. You need to go through the track and ask yourself some questions and if they answer is yes then the stat you need to change is in the brackets. Would I do better if I could turn really tight? (agility, riding) Am I starting the race at a canter? (command, discipline) Am I under jumping lots of jumps? (jumping, strength) Are there close together jumps that I need to slow down for? (jumping, strength) There are of course many more. I hope you liked this post and have a nice day! Thank you to Ava Northstar for helping me with this. I’m finally a part of the lipi squad. I decided to buy a beautiful horse and after much consideration I called her Evergaze aka Eve. I’m in love with her already and her training starts tomorrow! The gaits are the same as most horses but there is, of course, the beautiful levade. I love the way she lifts up her front two hooves when she is standing still. I love the way that each horse has its own graphics and characteristics that makes that breed, that breed.
Welcome to the Silentland barn Eve! I decided to change the mane into a dressage style. Yes! I finally had time to go and look at the Lipizzans. I actually went to look at them with my real life best friend Aleksandrina Shyforest. We made it into a mini video that I’m starting to edit for YouTube. I’ve decided to change how I do reviews because I never felt like I had enough to say a paragraph about all of them so I’m just going to do one big general paragraph. But first basic facts! Fort Pinta: Grey New Hillcrest: Dapple grey and black Cost: 945 star coins Level: 9 My first impression is that their body is like a Thoroughbred but their faces look squashed which is what defines them. The colours are your standard colours, and for two of them the manes are just normal as well. But the mane on the dapple is so beautiful! I don’t like the style but the colours are so nice. Also I feel like they’re less cartoony and ‘plasticy’ as some other horses . Also those really defined muscles that I’ve been complaining about have been toned down and have made a really nice horse.
This horse also has a beautiful levade (a really controlled rear) that you can accomplish by pressing space when you are standing still! Good morning! This needs to be quite quick as I have to run off to school any second now. But the day is here! The lipizzans are coming. I’m so excited, but I do hope they’re in other colours rather then just white. I love their rear so much and it should be so much fun to use in lessons.
As for me, today I’m going to see King Leer and so I won’t be back until late. I’m really excited but a bit worried about using a bus! I love Shakespeare (I’m a geek like that) and the old English doesn’t really both me. Finally what do you think of this outfit? I’m on the hunt for a cheep grey saddle, so if anyone has ideas please let me know! I always find it really hard to get into a new series and so today I want to share my favorite book series with you. I don’t normally have a favorite book as I like to learn about new worlds and then derive fiction from that. Recently, my sister got the first book in the School of Good and Evil series. I borrowed it and fell in love with it. Parts of it annoyed me but the series is about two girls who go to the School or Good and Evil. But it isn’t a normal school, its much darker and more twisted. It shows that ‘good’ isn’t quite what it seems! I haven’t read the third book yet, so please no spoilers! An old favorite that I had to include is Harry Potter. My particular favorite is the Goblet of Fire! I am a massive Potterhead and I love the books. My favorite character is Luna: she is always so chilled and relaxed. I haven’t yet got round to buying the Cursed Child, but I hope to soon. Finally it is my all time favorite series. I love the Shadowhunter series. A set of books about a world of warriors. It is cleverly written, amusing and great to read. There’s currently 3 different sub series, but I always lie with the original. I know this isn’t Star Stable, but I haven’t been on (apart from club events). I am out tomorrow but I’ll hopefully get a Lipizzan on Thursday! School is everywhere right now as I get back into the swing of life. I’m sure it will even out soon! Also I have managed to get over 500 views this week. It completed astounds me. I have got loads of posts written and lined up and did someone mention a Star Stable life hacks video?
Its Autumn and its time to abandon those shorts and crop tops for the bennies and cardies for Autumn! In this post I aim to help you with your Autumn outfits this year. Maybe you’re style is different but these are just ideas to be adapted to your taste! Every outfit starts and ends with colours. The classic Autumn colours are (of course) reds, oranges, yellows and browns. But going straight into those colours can mean that by November you are getting very bored. The trick when you’re making outfits to do with seasons is the make the seasons blend into each other. At the start of the season keep the shades light with yellows, oranges and reddy/ browns. In September, you could even out an undertone of blue or pink as a transition from Summer. As you go through the season make the colours darker as the leaves darken. For the riders hat beanies are perfect. At the start a Western hat may be okay, but those ears need protecting from those cold North winds! Moving down the body, for the top start off with cardies and similar things and move into body warmers. Only at the very end of the season should you move into coats. At the start just wear normal gloves (make sure your fingers are covered). Nearing the end, gloves are perfect for the first snow fall! As for trousers, I find that a simple brown pair act as a perfect base, darkening through the season. Finally we move onto boots. Open shoes are naturally a big no but trainers are fine for this month. I don’t have much to say about tack. Just allow it to make your outfit and a saddle pad is an excellent time for an undertone. Flowers and such aren’t great to wear around now as they don’t match the season at all! I hope you liked this post, its a bit different to normal. I’m going to be changing my style a bit and also sorting many bits and pieces out!
What do you wear in Autumn? Do you remember that a few months ago I blogged about wanting the Lipizzan to be added into the game, well finally they are coming! I think it will be next week but it could always be the week after - who knows.
This rear looks really controlled, like in dressage and so I have that this will be a dressage horse in game. Even further, I hope that it comes with a dressage mode where you can do different gaits (like working trot) and other dressage moves. Unless I really don’t like them when they come out, expect a new edition to the Silentland horsehold! I want to write this so that in a year I can look back and say "aw that was cute".
So these 4 (along with many others) are the reason I play Star Stable. And I'm so grateful for their laughs and smiles, for helping me when I am down and I will always be their to help in return. I'm going to go left to right. Becca, you're so strong and you always make people laugh. You are a strong reliable person who I can always count on. You've been with this family for over a year now and I am so happy to decided to join back. Happy Birthday for Thursday girl! V. Oh god where do I start with you. Well you're funny and I can always count on your for help. Your views and the way you look at the world is in a very special way and I'm learning to see it that way too. You are just Northiey and that is the best word out there! Lils! Umm well you were one of the first people to join fr from the new waiting list system! I remember our mail wars (I am still a cuter puppy). You were such a newb and I now look at you, running weekly lessons, events and member of the month! You've come far and you will continue to do so. Cait, Caity (I shall start calling you that). You remind me of me a bit actually. So pestery for people to get things done! But also extremely helpful, kind and conscientious. I'm having a sloppy moment for my friends on SSO. I love them to hell and back again! Its been forever since I last posted. Its been the first week back at school and I'm trying to actually studying. People say its the trying that counts and I hope it is else I haven't got a lot to count! On top of school, yesterday I went to an emergency doctors appointment to see why I kept blacking out and falling. They said I had to come back today for an ECG and a blood test; which I did. (Follow @allarria.sso on Instagram for more information.) I was so scared about the blood test and it did hurt but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be an my arm is almost completely better. On with the new animations. I'm not a big one for change but I do agree that an update was needed. I was very excited when I saw the new animations. But before going into detail let's take a look at them in game! Sliding stop - I don't like the way they move their hands back. But I like the riders actually movement!
Jump - In the words of my sister: "Even I know that they need to move into the jumping position!" It would be nice to see it a bit more realistic and, as Elle said, have them in the jumping position! Trot - This new trot looks so much better. They rise properly and on diagonals. I'm really obsessed and I love it! Other gaits - They are too bouncy and I find them just a very jolty ride, like you are riding on a really stony path. Steering - This isn't that different but it is quite exaggerated. Mount - I love it all apart from the way they fling this hand over at the end! Dismount - This is my favorite new thing as I love the way they hold onto the saddle and then slide down, it is so real! Walk - I'm very happy that you can now walk game but I find the walk a bit too flouncy, like they are permanently at Jorvik fashion week! Run - At first I hated this but it is actually quite nice as it is long strides and looks cleaner. Still on horse - You can pat your horse! Christ I was excited. It makes me so happy. Still on foot - Lots of people say they can't see any difference, well your eyes move more now (which is cool). Some of the new animations I have a negative view on because I'm not used to them yet and in due time I shall become so! It is nice to have an update to this as they were starting to become out of sink with the other animations of the NPCs and horses. Also I think it shows how much SSO has improved over time. Hejdå and until next time! I've been meaning to upload this for ages! Contains spoilers about the latest SSO update Let's go! One flower, two flower, three flower, four flower...ten flower, eleven flower! TO Hermits! Okay I'll go and check. They all look apart from the fact they're alone What's that Madison? Ok! The wild horses are disappearing and Mr Anwir is here... Um you stole the Baronesses horse... And what's that in your hand? ...I don't believe you... What are you doing to that horse? What's that Madison? All the dots together on the beach, let's go and see. Oh nononono not Madison's horse. Madison stop! Wait! There is nothing on the beach Madison! Oh thank goodness. I loved these quests (even if they made me boil with rage). It's amazing to see how much the SSO graphics have improved. I liked the races in the quests also but I think in the future they should only be used when they make sense to the storyline, this just adds a bit of presser and even danger to the quests.
What did you think? My day started as normal with check Instagram, WA and YouTube. I then had breakfast and logged on. I ordered some stable care and then I went searching for some new makeup. I didn't buy any but I found some I liked. What do you think? I then went and practiced some championships and races. Then I raced in Jorvik Stables championships before gather my outfit for later.. Then it was time for a jumping lesson from my friend Lilah Applewood! We only had a short lesson due to an event but we covered striding. We had to canter and then change the gait into trot for three strides and then go into canter. Getting the change right a smooth was hard as you had to really watch the legs. A speedy change into dark attire and I was ready for the hunger games event. Happy Hunger games ad may the odds be forever in your favor. We had to try and survive. You killed someone by going "kill: -their name". I decided to team up with Avery Eaglestorm so we spent the whole time hiding! The area got smaller and smaller but somehow I survived into I think the final 2 or 3, but it was hard to tell is someone had been tagged or not!
Then it was time to log off as I was too tired to play another match! |
