[I'm aware that a lot of this is broken markup - a glitch happened while saving, I'm working my way through it as you read :)]

It's probably best to start this off with a bit of backstory, so here goes.
I joined PMC in 2014, when I was 12 - already this should give you a bit of an idea about how I acted, because - let's be honest here - anyone under the age of 13 on the internet is most likely going to make you want to throw your monitor across the room in frustration. There are exceptions, of course, but I was not. Anyway, I steadily used PMC for about two years, before my server kind of dismantled, and I've only rejoined today to post my new server.
One of the worst things about coming back to this account was, of course, my cringey, 12 year-old emo phase posts. I can't exactly delete them without losing about 90% of my exp, so I thought I'd take a look at my old posts, then share my findings with you. [Note: this post also includes submissions from my alternate, even older and cringier account].
You should probably strap in.

These skins are from my older account, and wow, they're even worse that the old stuff on this account. Like, where to start on these abominations? The top 2 skins literally didn't have any colouring on the insides of the arms/legs, so when they run they turn into voids, apparently [the first skin doesn't even have a top of a head!]. And what is with that uncanny smile, or the top left girl's blue eyelashes?? I mean, come on 12 year old me, the "girl in a dress skin has hair for a face!

"Some slightly newer old skins" - Skins, February 2014

Okay, I'll admit that I see a bit of improvement here [even if they are the teen skins I apparently detested], but still. Why are their outfits only two colours? Why is there 0 shading? Why is their hair apparently made of noodles? So many questions, not enough answers.

"What should be added to mc" - Blog, February 2014
Holy Notch, where to start with this? Not only are my "ideas" nonsensical and kinda stupid ("changing carpet blocks back into wool blocks", "those weird triple redstone repeater things"??), the comment section is just a cringe-fest in itself. Like why was I such a defensive 12 year old?



"How minecraft has changed my life" - Blog, April 2014
Welp. I'm officially done. From the title of this blog post alone, you can probably tell that this is just going to be a lovely, attention seeking, emo 12 year old post. Because, after all, who doesn't want to post highly sensitive personal information on the internet in order to gain attention from complete strangers? I mean, when the opening sentence is "when I first started playing minecraft PE I was in year 6 and being bullied at school to the point of wanting to kill myself", you know you're in for a treat.

"Ra" - Skin, June 2014


Where to start with this abomination? The most obvious "cringe" moment while revisiting this post was the original name (I changed it today), which was "Anael". Yes, you read that right. I'm not going to say any more, as this is a family friendly site, but you get the idea. Other issues include the plain, 1 colour clothes [when this is supposed to be a "queen"], the horrible curls and thin strands on the rectangular hair and the "shading". Yep. 12 year old me thought this was shaded.

"Yodacraft.com server review" - Blog, June 2014
The worst thing about this post was how I actually thought this was a legitimate, well thought out and extensive review. I was definitely wrong. Here is, essentially, the entire post;

Positive:

Good kits, which can be used often but not too often

Lots of factions to join

Very fun!


Negative:

Not much welcome for new players

Donation prices are too high

In-Game prices are quite high

No staff on

No plots


Neutral:

Very addictive!


My opinion:

The addition of plots and reduction of prices would make this server be more fun to play!

A very in-depth review, as you can tell.

"Minecraft - my opinion" - Blog, June 2014
I actually do still agree with a lot that was said in this blog post, but the way I tagged the post with "-C4" and the air of arrogance ("you can come to me for ideas Mojang) just makes this whole post so cringey that it's almost unreadable. Plus, my complaints about "teen skins" are just confusing, especially since my skin [made by myself] was, you know, a teen skin [more on this subject below].

Completely relatable ... coming to PMC back in 2014, I was twelve as well; a lot of the things I posted or did back then makes me want to throw up. Did a lot of things that I wasn't proud of either back then, but you can't go back in time and tell yourself not to do it. :|
