RE-BLOGGED: Enter The Village… (TDV blog tour!)

Hey lovely!
I haven’t been very active here on OiaM recently because of life-stuff, HOLIDAYS, and… our very own TDV! So this is actually my other tour stop on The Diamond Village Blog Tour. This is the last post of the tour, so I heartily thank everyone who participated in the tour and everyone who engaged and commented and liked their posts! But most of all, I’d like to thank my fellow bloggers: El, Mukta, Ju, Ash, and Emma! You’ve survived my constant heckling for aesthetics, Ash, and the random demands you had to withstand (Ju- whoops!), gazillions of calls (El… you would get it 😭) the countless designs I asked for (apologies, Mukta!) and some very nasty WP malfunctions (Emma XD). BUT YOU STUCK THROUGH. I THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH.

Anyways, this is getting too long because today, my tour stop will be actually RE-BLOGGING the TDV’s first post! So read on to meet some of our first villagers! >>>

The Diamond Village

Hello, friend, and welcome to The Diamond Village!

We’re thrilled and honored to have you here with us today on our launch. This is our first official post on this blog and we hope that you stick around with us for a long while!

First of all, I’m Aditi, the blogger who is writing this post! You can find out more about me and the other wonderful bloggers on our about page. To summarize, I’m the crazy girl who decided to found this blog (I’ve not regretted it at all!) and the person you’ll be seeing monthly whenever we have an important development in the Village storyline.

You’ve probably come here from one of our blogs or from the blog tour (We thank everyone who participated/ is participating in the blog tour from the bottom of our hearts- it means so much to us!) and on your way to…

The Diamond Village Blog Tour // TWO character reveals + schedule!

Hello, loves!

As you might have noticed, this post will be part of the blog tour introducing The Diamond Village, a new collaboration blog that I ‘created’ (more like ‘thought about it one fine day and decided it MUST become something’) with the help of five other amazing bloggers- El (bestie, luv you ❤ (and your accent)), Ash (I GUESSED IT RIGHT HAHA *y’all muggles won’t know what we’re talking about*), Emma (After was a complete mess! I’m glad we could suffer through it together hehe), Ju (omg who is this wonderous photographer?? a pigeon? a robin? a DODO?), and, of course, the one and only Mukta (kween of design, utter KWEEN- you are literally a goddess with art).

As you might have noticed from my ramblings, these bloggers are PRECIOUS and the funniest and coolest and most sincere group I could have worked with *cries happy tears*.

But enough about that- you’re all wondering, what the heck is The Diamond Village? Well, fear not, my friends- I have a simple description taken directly from our home page:

The Diamond Village is a fantasy-themed blog with a storyline and interactive, adorable characters who strive to put a smile on your face whenever we can! Our storyline shows how our characters progress through their lives in the bright Village, the challenges they face, but, most importantly, how they overcome them with kindness and intelligence.

Before you check out our latest posts, here’s what you should know: our Village Leader, Mara, posts our storyline-related content once a month so don’t be too worried about not understanding what’s going on. She’ll re-cap what happened previously so you’re not too confused. The rest of the content will be from our other Villagers and about all your favorite topics- books, nature, arts & crafts, news, representation- and with our same cozy and inclusive atmosphere.

So join us on this whirlwind ride of fun and kindness, magic and mayhem, will you? Go check out our posts and don’t forget to follow the blog so you won’t miss any!
