  1. Yay, it's so close! I'd break my First Contract for you. And because that one wasn't my favourite... Only you can breach the Warding Line around my heart. That one's iffy too. Two for the price of one! 3 days until Valentine's Day!

  2. Huh, apparently my subconscious ships Kaladin and Kelsier, despite how much I tell it that wouldn't work at all. I dreamed of training montages and having a minor hero-worship-crush on your teacher. Not gonna lie though, Kaladin dying, becoming a Cognitive Shadow after Kelsier rushes him to Stormlight, having a Dramatic Moment with Syl ("You're not my Knight Radiant anymore, Kal, but I will always be your spren"), and then having training montages in a swimming pool (no, I don't know either) trying to outwit Kell and his Avengers team RoW all sounds like a crack-taken-somewhat-seriously fanfic that I'd absolutely read.

  3. In the past couple days, I've gone up a good 150 posts. Thanks, FOTT! I may actually hit 2,000 before my Shardiversary at this rate. Also, I've been listening to Sabaton a lot, and it's great, until I try to sleep, and then I have history-based metal music stuck in my head.

  4. Here is week 6 Poem #6 Epoch of Metamorphosis Dawn breaks with an explosion of gold and peach woven by the skillful hands of Aurora which fly across her loom. The whole of existence stirs as a seemingly endless celestial contest begins to take shape. Jove upon his throne vies with his brothers for supremacy as Minerva crosses blades with the Avenger. Tremors wrack the earth and every deity gathers their armies to wage war. Faunus and Diana clash spilling nature’s blood and painting the ground with silver. On high the winds burn while Phoebus clashes with Boreas. Cities are trampled and all of civilization is reduced to tattered swathes of a once vibrant tapestry. Stark beauty glows in the skies as it is carried across the realm upon a most subtle yet mighty chariot. Rebirth of a new day becomes a nightmare birthed by the Bacchnalian curse cast upon Somnus and held firm by the winged deliverers of vengeance. Lightning boils the oceans and creates molten conflagrations in the depths which do nothing to disturb the fury of the wise one and the master of the fields of war. Minor deities quench the thirst of the parched earth with their meaningless sacrifices. Forests from the earliest times are laid bare. Storms of fire scar the very heavens. Prayers so desperate are unanswered by selfish competitors. Contrast of great beauty marks the very heights and separates it from the destruction consuming the material plane. Horrors driven by the invisible bearers of poisoned blades and whispered judgements exact even from those who rule terrible prices for their failures. Jupiter falls from his gilded seat into the fires and steam below where he rages and wrestles with the lords that were exiled below beside the carnage that two have wreaked on any who would stand between them. Libations laid out in the most desperate ways spill without even being noticed or considered. Yews by river banks weep and watch their siblings die. Humanity cowers. The completion of the artwork that stands majestically and yet smudged by the smoke that rises sends forth a new song. All of the battles instantly start to wither away and somewhere a balanced scale strikes down the nightmare that has broken out. Amidst the muck and mire of their spirits three kings and two bloodied and exhausted warriors are aflame with a shame which before this day they had never imagined that they could know. Spoiled gifts offered now begin to heal sundered places of refuge. The huntress and the wild lord huddle beneath spilled tears. From the rubble mortals build again as noon is born.

  5. I've taken a break from the Shard, but I'll be on and off for a few days until Tuesday. I'm just really stressed currently.

  9. Hello! I just had an IRL friend join the Shard! You should say hi to him! Also, he should post a thread in the Introductions section... *winkwinknudgenudge* @Bennett Welcome to the Shard! We're definitely not a cult!

  11. Last night, the ongoing family joke of trying to get me to add hot sauce to anything continued. (I don't like it and won't put it on anything.) I had the irrational urge to just grab and drink the stuff. Where did that even come from?

  12. Something happened that made me start to think that Dominoes Pizza is really a cult. (But not really, the cult part is a joke. But the rest of the story is true.) One day, our family ordered some pizza- one regular-sized pizza with cheese, and two small cheese-free pizzas for us weirdos who can't have milk. We opened the larger pizza box, and on the inside of the lid, there were four dots of some red substance. It was too deep a red to be pizza sauce, so our conclusion was it's either some red ink (It looked to be about the same hue as the red on the pizza box) or blood. Just to be safe, my dad called the pizza place and asked for a replacement pizza, just in case it was blood. It probably wasn't, but still. We got the new pizza and my dad showed the employees some pictures of the red splatters(To prove he wasn't crazy or just scamming to get a free pizza), after we found two more red spots. (Cue the pictures) Still, it probably wasn't blood. But, to make sure, we wanted to do a test to see how similar the splotches look to blood, so we sterilized a sewing needle, and my dad said whoever was willing to prick themselves got five bucks. My older brother, @Enter a username, immediately said he would. I mean, it was for science, so why not? He tried pricking himself, but it didn't work, so my dad tried it himself, but still couldn't. Then I suggested something. I have these weird bumps on my arms that I sometimes pick at, so I had a few teeny scabs that I said I was willing to break open to get some blood out. I was able to get out some and smeer it onto a piece of cardboard we ripped off of another pizza box. Once the blood dried, it looked exactly the same. Same hue, same sheen, same way it dried, everything. It was uncanny. But, we wanted another sample that was dripped instead of smeared, so I picked off another scab and laid on my back with my feet up to try to get enough blood to drip the same way as the pizza box to compare the to. Want to see the results? Same. Exact. Storming. Stuff. My dad called Dominoes and told them what we found out, and that brings me to my hypothesis: Dominoes is a cult. I think that the way Dominoes gets the red ink for their pizza boxes is from the blood of their enemies (A.K.A. the people who leave bad reviews about their pizza), and the pizza store is a front, and the way they get their money. That's my conspiracy theory. (I don't actually think Dominoes pizza is a cult. That was a joke. But the bloody pizza box was real.) And that, my friends, is how I became a blood donor, for science. (Even though I didn't get that five bucks.)

  13. Hello, friends! I'm afraid I'm going to be taking a break from the shard for awhile. I think I'll still come on occasionally, but not regularly like I used to. I am so sorry, to all of the RP's I'm kind of abandoning, but I think this might be better for y'all than before, since I seem to always be lagging behind... Anywho, I won't be gone completely, I'll stay pretty active on discord, and I'll come on occasionally here, I just... I'm just so stressed with everything right now, I need some time off.

  14. I haven't posted music stuff here for a while... I've just been playing around, but not recording anything. Soooo, I thought it would be good to do an update! Current Projects: + Dalinar's Theme (Or The Speech-at the Battle-of-the-Tower-Following-the-Sadeas-Betrayal Theme) + Spensa's Theme or "Skyward Flight" or "Skyward 6" Other inspired ideas in the back of my mind: + Venli's Theme (Or [Insert Inspired Title Here]) + Lift's theme? + Another Dalinar-Theme from Oathbringer: "You cannot have my pain!!!" (that epic scene) + "RoW Spoily" Theme 1 + "RoW Spoily" Theme 2 And please, add suggestions or ideas! The above are in no particular order...
