(1/x) Sheesh, ngl it’s been a hot second since we’ve gotten to work on PXN. Now that we minted out, think it’s time for a little story about my own journey in both Nano and PXN. Buckle up, this is gonna be a long 🧵

(2/x) To start off, for those of y’all that don’t know, I started off in @nanoverseHQ back in late October, but didn’t start popping off till Early November when I came back home from a family vacation.

@nanoverseHQ (3/x) Due to the jetlag, I was out here crashing at 7 pm and waking up at 3-4 am, so what did I do? Hop on Discord ofc and chat it up with da boiz. I still remember those late nights at demon hrs with @GT3NFT and recounting some fun stories with @veezyvangogh and @Yuri_ramen.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen (4/x) I remember chatting in the discord, simping for Yuri for the lolz, hopping on a few streams and watching Veezy give out more gifted subs to the community than Oprah did to her live audiences. I even remember the day when Veezy went from Green to Red (#iykyk).

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen (5/x) Then one day @reicannon decided “sup idiot, it’s time for you to get your access level, but not before a special something” (!pegs #iykyk)

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon (6/x) It was funny too because it actually took me like 5 minutes to notice my color change because I was way too busy chatting it up with da boiz and heavily concerned with my “initiation method” but hey guess it all worked out. …right?

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon (7/x) Anyways let’s switch gears for a hot second to focus on the biggest bozo I know.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon (8/x) My first interaction with @reicannon was him complimenting my pfp, (a Dimension 838 piece for those wondering) and asking me where I got it, to which I sent the link in dms. Then he saw floor and was like nah I’m good fam :dogkek: (Note: he did eventually sweep hehe)

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon (9/x) I still remember the first time I got to listen to him. This was way back when, it was 7 am and for some reason there were actually in what appeared to be.. a vc channel? Wtf, we had one of those? I hopped in to listen in (back then I was shy boi so didn’t talk in vcs kek)

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon (10/x) If I remember correctly, everyone was just chitchatting about the project, some hype about what was coming, memeing around about @reicannon's epic 1 on 1 LoL match loss, @kekwin7 talking about his job (no more 9-5 for u ser hehehe, congrats btw).

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 (11/x) It was just such a vibe listening to people chat and exist, it always is, which is why I have fun sneaking into VCs in PXN and changing my pfp and username so no one notices I’m an architect hehe #SorryNotSorry

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 (12/x) Anyways back to where we left off, after getting AG1 I decided aight, imma head out and go grind some other discords, but kept popping my head in here and there because the Nano pull was too strong. Well, big mistake.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 (13/x) I come back mid-November and all of a sudden, there’s these… lavender roles? And they can… !boo? Bruh, wtf, I wanted to boo. So what did I do? Well, me and @EnmakeX decided fuck the rules, right click save boo gif, suck on dem toes bish. …and then we went to jail.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX (13.5/x) My time in jail was a brief one, although I will admit it was a fun experience. I remember DMing Rei and Yuri with the boo gif and them saying some shit like “behave urself idiot”, can’t remember, brain too smooth. But eventually I got back out and got my roles back.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX (14/x) Welp, y’all know what happened. I was peeved, I wanted !boo, so I decided it’s time to giga grind till they take me in. All in or bust. So what did I do? Ofc I grinded day in and day out, established my existence like the bozo I was meant to be, and yes senpai noticed me.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX (14.5/x) Fun fact, I never knew what this phantom stuff was the entire time, tbh I high key just wanted the light purple server booster colored name cuz it was a nice shade of purple, better than the AG1 role color. Did I realize what I was in for? Nah. Did I care? Nah.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX (15/x) So I grinded my sweat, blood and tears off, chatting while bopping to some tunes, interacting with these pseudo server boosters, still no clue wtf they meant. Then I started getting close to these people as well.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX (16/x) One of the first phantoms I interacted frequently indirectly with was @sadnessdoesNFTs. I remember whenever people would use the !pegs command and he would always reply “SHARKY NO!” ily s.a.d.n.e.s.s. bb. He was also a mod at FishTank which was fun #R.I.P.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs (16.5/x) Gonna sneak this in for those listening, I remember that day fishface came in judging Nano since they wanted to collab. Not even saying hi, he just rated the discord like some snobby swordfish, like bruh tone it down my guy. Props to how civil @reicannon was btw

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs (17/x) Then I remember the machine that was @veezyvangogh, man literally set a record for chatting with 40 ppl at the same time. Literally thought he was a bot with how often he was there, until I read his genuine replies. Then I loved seeing his cat pictures, and his killer fits

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs (18/x) Then we had @JuJulikesnfts, back in the JPEG hunter days for those that remember. Fucker literally copy pasted my pfp to try and recruit me, luckily I was strong willed and didn’t convert. Btw @sadnessdoesNFTs exposed ur manifesto in the computer channel kek.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts (19/x) @cryptohyxk was also fun to speak in dms with, I remember the plethora of pepe emojis he had, and also how much he loved Solo Levelling. Amazing manhwa btw, highly recommend. We bonded over our Sung Jin Woo simping alongside other things. #internetexplorer

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk (20/x) Funny thing, I didn’t speak too much with @ZacP01, @NFTRyRy, @rodney_eth, @Niftycrypt , @NFT_Kaneki, @WhySo4488, @NFTkwi, or @p11_luna, but it’s fine we eventually got to chat and now we’re all vibin hehe. But for fun lemme speed run and give my initial thoughts

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna (20.5/x) zac n ry were besties, ry had like 17 names stacked to his server nickname and I was living for it, also his marine marauders pfp was goated cuz i was also bagholding LOL.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna (20.99/x) Rodney I didn’t see for a while, d00dz was a mod, kaneki was also afk from my life for a sec, whyso was a memer, kiwi was a meme, and jluna i thought was serious? Idk maybe it was the mod role lmao

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna (21/x) Anyways at some point @EnmakeX became lavender too, and !boo-ed in my face, fml. Whatever, I wasn’t deterred. Someone else got in, @takoa got in as analyst man, but I had sheer willpower to not give up till I could !boo Then one day, it happened.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa (22/x) I start hearing rumors from some lavender friends that something is coming, and I’m like oh intriguing. I forget about it, being the goldfish I am. Then a few days later I get a FR from the one and only @rodney_eth, who today I call one of my closest friends and coworkers.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa (23/x) He slid in my DMs, gives me a time and place, I’m like aight, then he vanishes, almost like a phantom (cue Danny Phantom OP) Then a week later, the promised date arrives. December 1st, a day I’ll never forget.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa (23.5/x) UPDATE, I JUST CHECKED MY CALENDAR, IT WAS DECEMBER 2ND, BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa (24/x) It was late at night, the wolves were howling, the full moon shining bright in the sky, and I was… sitting at my desk with a pack of Lays munching and crunching. Then my DMs go off like “ser wya?” and I’m like FUCK SHIT I FORGOT and proceeded to scramble.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa (25/x) I get ready to hop into a vc, waiting for my turn, because apparently I wasn’t the only one being initiated today? I see this person, let’s call em @Albo_lau, who I never met before, and it seems like they concluded. Then Rodney calls me up to the stage. My time to shine.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (26/x)…..this part I hate explaining, because out of every interview I’ve ever had, this was by far my WORST one ever. Put on the spot, sweating like a pig in a blanket, scrambling to reply to some on-the-fly questions. Btw shout out to Elder Shaman for laughing at my shit jokes

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (27/x) Then, while I fear that all hope is lost and my !boo will never come, an angel descended with something I could answer. “Uwu for me” @NFTkwi said, and I was like, this is it, this is my chance.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (28/x) I mute my mic, give it a few practice runs, then I unmute and answer what was most likely the most life-determining question in my entire existence. “Uwu” I whisper into the mic. I close my eyes, unsure of the crowd’s reaction.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (29/x) To my surprise, the crowd ROARS with excitement, airhorns go off, socks have been knocked off, the best uwu to date. Celebrations all around. I’m GMI!

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (30/x)…jk nothing special happened but I was lightly complimented before my dad walked in confused what in the fuck i was doing at 1 am on a Sunday night with some random internet weirdos.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (31/x) After I kicked my dad out and stopped having a panic attack, it was time. The yay or nay. Somehow, by some sheer coincidence (and maybe 0.05 eth) I got in! I got the !boo! Man, what a fun night. Then I crashed.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau (32/x) LOL SIKE U THOUGHT! Spent the whole night up chatting, friend requesting all the phants, vibing, having a fookin blast. Oh and we also got @NFTrepzy in that night. Fun fact: I was the OG P16, but Repzy liked 16 more so I took 17 hehe. Ur welcome bb

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy (33/x) Over the next few weeks leading to mint, we got a few more phants in like @Chewtoro and @yommsies to make it a solid 20 phants before mint.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies (34/x) Over the next few days, mint was slowly approaching, we were handling things in the discord and on Twitch, Nano was getting more and more hype. I loved the late night calls with da boiz, hearing @p11_luna sing, and internet exploring with @cryptohyxk.#iykyk

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies (35/x) Mint day was approaching. We kept at it, welcoming the influx of members, indoctrinating the yuri simps with @veezyvangogh, shilling yuridoodles, trying our best to keep the party raging. But then slowly things slowly got tense, up until mint day arrived.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies (36/x) All the phants hopped in vc, ready to mint their passes, hype for reveal, life was good. We were all aiming for some random numbers to mint which was fun. Some won and some lost. We were hodling, and good thing we did haha. #NanopassBlooChip. Then came public.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies (37/x) We started with a DA around like 2.69 (heh) or something i forget, based on the price of the poster sales that Rei geniusly came up with to gauge market sentiment and figure out out floors. We somehow went from 1 eth sales to 3+ eth sales, the fomo was insane.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies (37.5/x) Btw shout out to giga brain @VirusZeerow, one of my forever friends, who outbid me for @NFTkwi uwukiwi song nft, fml I hate u you shit.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (38/x) Ngl Nano mint was probably one of the most stressful and terrifying days in my life. The amount of fud that mods get in the discord is terrifying, especially when we had 2 different discords to keep an eye on, the locked and the public server.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (39/x) Somehow we made it out of that storm, battered and broken but alive. Mint was done, we sold out, and could finally breathe. All the phants got hyped for black boxes and had fun opening our first round together in vc and getting hype when some of us got good pulls.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (40/x) Now the discord had calmed down a bunch, things had come to a lull because phase 2 was aeons away in NFT time standards. #BuildersGonnaBuild. This was around the time when some of the phantoms started working for @reicannon.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (41/x) Me being the freshly graduated college student that I was, had no idea wtf I was doing with my life and was playing around in the discord and NFTs to make some side change. However, this project was the first time I actually wanted to help out. Luckily, I got my chance.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (42/x) Rei would sometimes hop in chat, being like btw if y’all ever want a job hmu, I might be able to hook u up post mint. I knew I had to try, even if I had nothing to offer. And boy, was I lucky. The big man himself slid in my dms after months of forgetting my existence.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (43/x) Rei was like “ayo u want a job?” I replied “yeah sure why not.” He said “Aight bet.”

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (44/x) Yeah, I know, it shook me too how simple it was. This bozo actually gave me a chance. Little did he know he’d regret it (jk ily Rei). This was where me and @rodney_eth really started bonding.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow (45/x) Countless night of going on OS to pick out a clone-

…sorry let me start over. Ahem.

Countless nights of looking around for artists and other required staff, me and Rodney had our work cut out for us, for this one project Rei called @projectPXN . (#whatHappenedToMC)

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN (46/x) I had no clue what it was, but the sneaks I saw looked dope. I was doing some grunt work, having fun with a cool team and slowly bringing in new peeps. Cue @MsEggmily and @bverinz entrance into NFTs

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz (47/x) @MsEggmily was hard to read at first. She sounded very business-y to me, but I slowly got to know her more and more over our meetings. Her love of pepes, her “sweet and gentle innocence” (🧢) and overall fun personality. We had some comical interactions.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz (48/x) Then we have @bverinz. An existence whose sussiness might have outrivaled @Chewtoro at times. I did not realize this slothful girl that woke up at 11 pm would actually be such a sussy menace. But again, also a lovely personality and definitely one of da boiz.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz (48.5/x) Again I’m very glad to have had both of them brought on, they added a lot of fun to our meetings, with Emily’s grandma-like energy and Erin’s sleepy sussy vibes. Loved hanging out in LA, can’t wait to meet again in NYC.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz (49/x) Then we eventually brought on a friend I remember watching the Konosuba movie at 8 am on a Tuesday morning, @ehawkjj. Oh wait sorry, wrong twitter handle. I meant @ehawkjj2. Oh wait sorry I meant @EhawkjjP24. Ok there we go.

He was excited about the project, I remember how invested in us he was, liking all my tweets, replying to everything

He might be a sussy baka but he treated us like his day1 friends (probably as a result of that parasocial relationship shit kek jk ily jj ty for letting me crash at ur place)

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs (53/x) Finally the awaited day came, the discord was ready, and we slowly started letting people into the world of PXN. The slumbering cell was rumbling, and no one knew the storm it was bringing.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs (54/x) I was hyped, telling my friends to keep an eye on the Twitter. Slowly shilling, not that they paid it much heed until later on. The day we let people in the discord, holy crap did things go wild. Chat was flying, the slums were spammed, and the chaos had begun.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs (55/x) The phantoms were part of the slum hype as well, going wild, letting their inner spammer run free. To a degree, it was stress relieving, it was fun, and you felt a sense of unity spamming the silliest phrases/emotes

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs (56/x) Slowly we let more and more in, people were starting to notice us, friends were asking for invites but I had no perms to give kek. Everyone was slowly wanting in, and for good reason. The community was wild. We really did run shit here.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs (57/x) I made many lovely friends in the discord, including but not limited to: @Kittanx my hypopod isobot for life, @KurtAlexandr one of the first isosquad members, shoutout to OG isosquad @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs ISOPODS GMI

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs (58/x) I also had fun myself, making some fake PXN YuGiOh cards/memes to play around in the discord, but no one else had image posting perms so that plan fell through kek, was fun while it lasted. I also made customs for OG members

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs (59/x) Things behind the scenes were going well, the discord was doing nice, and we kept on rising in followers. It was amazing, felt like we were pressing all the right buttons. Something inside me knew we were most likely GMI.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs (60/x) Somewhere in the middle began my bonding with my friend, my fellow compatriot from the land of fish and chips and where potato chips are called crisps, Mr. Blue Sapphire himself @strollinPastel

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs @strollinPastel (61/x) Things with pastel were fun, we fleshed out the concept of @mrweb_II together based on some preliminary ideas from Rei. It was a lot of fun to come up with this character meant to represent the Web2 world that the Web3 phantoms and ghosts were rebelling against.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs @strollinPastel @mrweb_II (62/x) Then what I considered a once in a lifetime opportunity came by for me. One day @Pants_shh hit us up in a meeting like “ayo which one of you guys are weebs in here?” I slowly raised my hand, before realizing it was a vc and then unmuted to say “me.” Then it began.

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs @strollinPastel @mrweb_II @Pants_shh (63/x) Me Pastel and another friend of ours were tossed into a group chat, and we had a new objective: turn Pastel’s lore into some manga art for the twitter. This was my time to shine. I had been blessed. This was my purpose in life. And so we got to work.

Finding references, doodling up some storyboards, the whole shebang. I finally felt like I was contributing something

@nanoverseHQ @GT3NFT @veezyvangogh @Yuri_ramen @reicannon @kekwin7 @EnmakeX @sadnessdoesNFTs @JuJulikesnfts @cryptohyxk @ZacP01 @NFTRyRy @rodney_eth @Niftycrypt @NFT_Kaneki @WhySo4488 @NFTkwi @p11_luna @takoa @Albo_lau @NFTrepzy @Chewtoro @yommsies @VirusZeerow @projectPXN @MsEggmily @bverinz @ehawkjj @EhawkjjP24 @0xygenLabs @Kittanx @KurtAlexandr @tramplyfe @Larson_NFTs @strollinPastel @mrweb_II @Pants_shh (65/x) It has been so much fun to work on all that together and see the results of our work. Although not perfect, we will keep working hard to make sure the weebs are satisfied. (some BTS shenanigan content for funsies hehe)

I was finally able to tell my parents I had a job, even if they were suspicious about who this Rei was and how he was paying me in some grey diamond internet money.

It’s been stressful for sure, but overall an amazing journey. I can’t wait to see the next chapter. Wish I could skip ahead but life just ain’t like that.
