Posted 4 days ago :: Last edited 3 days ago by chuwigirls2026 RELAUNCH event!
We hope your holidays and start of 2026 have been cozy Orinators. The mod hiatus is now over, and we have some exciting things planned to drum up excitement and activity... 🥁
Did you enjoy our Christmas Celebration Daily? If you're missing the extra freebies, we plan on introducing a Relaunch Advent Daily for you big clickers.
On top of that, not just one, but TWO Invite Raffle Orins are planned?!
We hope you're excited for what we have in store this year! The Relaunch event will begin on January 15th.
📅January Flash Prompts Calendar
As the mod hiatus is over... Flash Prompts reign again! To anyone new, Flash Prompts are a quick and easy way to earn a hoof-ful of Dreamshards
for little effort. Some are doodle or drabble prompts, other are finding an Orin on the Character Masterlist that meets a criteria, or something else short and sweet.
- January 1-15: Sleep Festival
- This prompt is currently active!
- Draw your Orin taking a nice nap / Write about your Orin's Sleeping Habits
- January 8: Snuggle a Chumpkin Day
- Submit an Orin with a Chumpkin pet
- January 19-21: Cheesy Joke Day
- Submit an Orin related joke or pun
- January 28: Mechanical Day
- Submit an Orin with a Mechanical Trait
Winter SEASONAL PROMPT
Looking for even more Dreamshards? Got a fantasy Orin to make true, or a new favorite pet from Cal's Cozy Critters? Check out the ongoing Winter Seasonal Prompt - Snow Festivities. Draw or write about your Orin enjoying the cold months in any way you want for Dreamshards
, a small chance of Nightflares, and new winter seasonal pets. This Seasonal Prompt will end in a month, on January 31st.
Incoming Mod applications
We've been mentioning it, now it's coming soon to an Orin Realm near you! Moderator applications will also open on January 15th, alongside the Relaunch event. We're looking for Orinators who could help out in any of these aspects:
- Server Moderators
- Site Approvals (prompt submissions, approving designs, claims, and character transfers)
- Prompt & Event Drafting
- Asset Designers (art assets for events, prompts, pets, etc)
- Lore Assistants
- Advertisement Marketeers
- Lorekeeper Coders (PHP & Lavarel framework)
Check out the 2025 Orin Mod application sneak peek Google Docs. Further information pertaining to moderator applications:
- Must be 18+ years or older.
- Have a Discord and a Realm of Orin site account.
- Any prospective mod must be willing and able to dedicate their time and effort.
- You do not need to have any prior experience, have an Orin, or be active in the group-- we consider anyone who willing to lend an Orin hoof! (Did you know, that's how Paper started out? Now she's the dear owner!)
- This is an entirely unpaid and volunteer position. No direct monetary compensation is offered. Instead, to reward your efforts, mods will receive rewards and privileges within the ARPG to compensate for your effort.
Purification Event end
OFF-788 has been purified! Their bubbly, frothy form slowly fizzles out, their acidic fragrance turns sweet, and their black hair becomes... blonde? Oh!

OFF-788's true form has been revealed! They've come a long way, from an Invite Raffle Orin, to Corrupted, and now Purified. Thank you to everyone who entered the event! Let's admire the entries...

Secret Santa reminder
The Secret Santa is due on January 24th, which is in about 3 weeks! If you haven't started on your piece, now's the time. Another reminder will be sent on January 8th, and a final reminder will be sent on January 17th. chuwigirls will ask for proof of progress on January 17th. If you're unable to finish your piece, letting us know by January 17th, a week before the due date, is best! This is so that backup elves are able to deliver a piece for everyone at the end of this Secret Santa.
At the end of the event, everyone can reveal their gifts in the #secret-santa🌲 channel in the Discord. You can then submit your Secret Santa as a Claim to earn rewards for your participation!
