      You should totally check out  17776. It's not *exactly* a webcomic but it's... so unique that it's hard to categorize as a single thing.

  6. Is it just me, or is this the dumbest late policy to ever be invented?

    Spoiler

    Late and makeup work will not be taken for credit in this course. Students need to prepare for the demands of the 21st Century workplace where deadlines are extremely important. All deadlines set throughout this course are non-negotiable and are expected to be met by all students, regardless of other circumstances.

      Regardless of other circumstances??? That seems...very nasty. I wonder if the teacher holds themselves to this same standard, it would only be fair.

  7. So. You know how you can just get....really bored. But you have something you're meant to be doing? So you're procrastinating I guess. But at the same time you're in a really productive state. Just not working on what's meant to be worked on. You do? Good. Okay

    I'm meant to be doing work, and then, bam, it's time for me to find out as much about the 17th shard website as I can. 

    Maybe I'll make it a challenge for you...yeah? Yeah! Okay. Here's the things you need to find.

    (I don't know if this one is possible, I spent a good hour on it. (I kinda want a mod to answer it for me.)) Someone who has a Special Role. I'm not talking about something like the Patrons role, or the Retired Staff Role, or the Gamma role. I literally mean Special. Or Special 2. I know it exists somewhere, just gotta find it.

    The reply on a status update with the most upvotes. (I actually could be wrong about this one, because the Shard is not kind with what it defines as content).

    The earliest follow ever (Like how you follow users, and forums).

      Darn, okay, I just verified that the Special role one is unsolvable:

      https://www.17thshard.com/forum/search/?&type=core_members&joinedDate=any&group[29]=1&sortby=relevancy

      So I guess unless a mod notices me poking around in the weird places like the member search section, I've got nothing.

  10. Kaladin: So *gestures to a fabrial* Who broke it?

    *pause*

    K: I’m not mad. I just wanna know.

    *pause again*

    Shallan: I did. I broke––

    K: No. No, you didn’t. Wit?

    Wit: Don’t look at me. Look at Adolin.

    Adolin: What? I didn’t break it.

    W: Huh, that’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?

    A: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.

    W: Suspicious.

    A: No, it’s not.

    Dalinar: If it matters – probably not – but Elhokar was the last one to use it.

    Elhokar: Liar! I don’t even use that crap.

    D: Oh, really? Then what were you doing by the fabrials earlier?

    E: I use the spren to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows this, Dalinar.

    S: Okay, okay. Let’s not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Kaladin.

    K: No! Who broke it?

    *pause*

    W, whispering: Kaladin. Jasnah’s been awful quiet.

    Jasnah: Really?! Oh, my storms.

    *chaos ensues as the others fight*

    K, talking to Syl: I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each others’ throats with warpaint on their faces and a chull head on a stick *looks back at the chaos* Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

  13. I find it sad that people are still visiting your profile even now, when it's been so long that you're probably never coming back. Why the heck does this months-long friendship affect us so much?

    Because of the mystery - the forever unanswered question of, "Where the Dusts did you go?" Because we still have hope that maybe, someday, we'll look at the Last Visited and it'll say something besides October 25, 2018? For some, it might be pure curiosity. Interest in this Sharder who legendarily went missing before their time.

    People follow you, too, even now. Wondering if you'll ever post again, wanting to be notified if you do.

    I find it sad as well that your rank will never change. No, you're not about to be married. Even though we turned it into a murder mystery and started the thread so many months later, you're not going to marry anyone.

    Location, drifting between insane and psychotic? I wonder if something happened to make you center on one side or the other. I hope not. I hope you're okay out there, not dead or crazy or hurt - though 'temporarily injured' might be better than 'fine, just never bothered to get on again because I got bored of you guys'.

    Sometimes I'm scared that that happened, or that it will happen with someone else. I believe the bonds I make here are just as important as normal ones. I wouldn't abandon the Shard unless I had no choice. I want to say you are the same way. Were the same way. But I've seen other people do it, so it's possible, as much as I wish it wasn't.

    You weren't here to see that I wasn't really in the DA or GBs, to see that I'm TUBA. You were never really involved in the Alleyverse, never especially loyal to the DA. I wonder if I could have convinced you to join TUBA.

    Another thing I wonder about is if it's mental health. I can understand that, if you just need to take a break. I still wish you'd tell us, but it's better than hurt or uncaring. If that's the case, I wonder if you read the parts of the Shard you can while logged out. I wonder if you notice the new roleplaying developments, if you knows Stars and Spheres exists, or Memories and Goodbyes - you were one of the main catalysts for that. If you read your page, these status updates as they're written. If you're reading this right now.

    Hi, Apollyon. We miss you, though I'm sure you've registered that by now. I just wish I knew what happened to you, regardless of the answer. I just wish it wasn't this not knowing, this unbearable, miserable hoping. I just wish I didn't have to wait without anything new.

    But it is.

    So I will.

    So we will, together.

  18. I really really really really really really really really really really really really really don't want to be at school today.

  19. Do any of y'all know that feeling like you don't deserve anything that people give to you or what you do for yourself? There's a feeling of nothingness, like your very soul is an empty void, but no matter how hard you try to fill it with the things that you know have made you feel better in the past, it just doesn't do it. You end up doing something––whether that be drawing or something athletic––and afterwards, you don't and won't believe that it's helping you, and you end up on the floor, trying not to sob the entire day, trying to figure out what happened to yourself and to that joy in doing that thing that makes or made you happy.

    You feel lonely, even though you're surrounded by people; most, if not all of them love you. You talk to your friends, and they give you love regardless of what you're feeling or who you might be, but you feel like you don't deserve it, like you have to do something to repay them for what they do for you that can never be repaid, no matter how hard you try. You feel incredibly selfish when going to them to tell them what's been going on, and then realizing how stupid your feelings are when you say them aloud or over text. You feel like you deserve to be alone, no matter how hard you try to be there for people who feel these exact feelings you do. It's what you get for being that person that gains their energy when they're alone.

    It's not like your friends or family care what happens to you or even if you decide to hurt yourself for what you do and who you are; after all, friends come and go over the course of your life. You think yourself as selfish when you do decide to try and tell someone what's going on, then you end up feeling really back about it and that feeling of deserving to be alone amplifies. You don't feel like anyone should love you, because you're basically nothing to them. You're only... well, you; you feel like there's nothing special about you and what you do.

    People say they care about you, and you try your hardest to believe them, but you can't. You believe they're still your friend out of pity, and you feel so selfish for talking to them about your feelings, even though you know that your life has changed for the better once you've met them. You still love them and will always be there for them, because you don't want them to feel that same pain you experience every single day, from the moment you wake up to the moment you decide to go to bed after sobbing. You try to protect them from feeling that, even though you know deep down that you can't stop everything that happens to those you love.

     

    Anyways, I'm fine. How are y'all?

    1. Ed Venture

      Ed Venture

      Hey Syn.

      I'm the better for knowing you, and the world is made better by your existence. I think you're a good person Syn. And I want to be here for you not out of pity, but because I know you deserve better in every way. You don't bring me down by asking for help, or needing to talk. I want to listen to you. You deserve to be listened to.

      I'm here for you, forever and whenever. I'm sorry that you're struggling, but there will be hope.
