      I saw this and didn't see the "show other comments" bar and just saw Lunamor's post that said YAYYYYY, and Bye all! Leaving in 15 min until Monday, I might get some time in though.

      The visuals and audio of the movie are both excellent, though the audio occasionally makes it harder to hear the people talking.

      I beg to defer... to Tesh

      oh wait, she quoted me and said "you tall person"

      though I lost The Game.

    3. Condensation

      I mean, she never said in reference to what. Maybe she meant that you were tall... compared to a garden gnome.

      if one does not say in reference to what, they usually mean in reference to an average or in reference to themself

  12. TL;DR at the bottom

    Most of you have probably read Faeiaoeadroeoeaoen's status update (and others which may have been posted by the time I write this), but I had some misadventures that he was not a part of. (Don't ask me why I'm writing this the way I am, it is probably due to the books I have read recently)

    13th July, 2021:

    I make sure all tiny hats, wooden rings, glass mushrooms, and candied orange peels are packed, along with all else I need (and much that I don't) before I leave my house with my mother (the cat is not amused). We drive for three hours before having to stop for the night, and when I sleep, I am still unsure about what would be happening and whom I would meet the next day.

    14th July, 2021:

    More driving, though urgency has increased, as word has come that I would be meeting with @Tesh, @Channelknight Fadran, @Zephrun's Imperium, @DancingQueen, @AonEne, @FriarFritz, and @Tani (somewhat unexpectedly, I might add (see Faeiadroeoan's update for context)) at the time I expected to reach my hotel. Though I drive for a few hours, the majority of the driving is done by my wonderful mother, both for speed, and so we can continue listening to The Night Circus, the audiobook we had started the day before (both of these reasons boil down to the fact that my mother, shocker of all shockers, has more driving experience than me). I arrive late, though earlier than some (whom I shall not name here), and we have a great time, though Tessie, Tani and Faeiadroeoan have to leave early. The rest of us stay and talk until a time that would have been called night in any other season.

    15th July, 2021:
    A second meeting is scheduled at lunch, this time including @Mist, @Vapor, and Shortie (@Condensation), though our resident member of an unknown royal family sadly can not make it. Once again, the meeting lasts until after those with fuller schedules must leave, though not as long as last time. I play a game with my mother to pass the rest of the day. Unknown to me, this is the last time I will see the Knight of Many Vowels and the Star for some time, and proper goodbyes are not given.

    16th July, 2021:

    Nothing is scheduled until the evening, so my mother and I escape to a slightly cooler place. Once the meeting time comes around, I join Fritz and Ene and we visit the most peculiar store. It sells only soda, and most of that is root beer. I buy three root beer-adjacent sodas (one of which is the only bottle of its kind in the entire store, making it slightly dubious, though I am assured that it is safe). Shortie and her sisters join us once we return to the meeting place, and all plans for movie night are thrown out the window, as we decide to talk instead. I am ripped away from the gathering too soon, though when I get to my hotel room, I am quite tired. I do not give proper goodbyes.

    17th July, 2021:

    I wake up early to say goodbye to Tesh, Channie, and Tani, though I miss Channie because I underestimated the walk time. Once more, nothing is scheduled until the evening, so my mother and I escape the heat by going up once again. Once it is time, we head to Drammie's production of Newsies, which is fabulous. A proper goodbye is given, and my time with those whom I have shared my existence with for the past 1-3 years draws to a close. We do not listen to our book in the car on the way to our hotel, as we want to keep the memory of the show alive as long as possible.

    18th July, 2021:

     More driving, we finish our book and start another. I arrive home tired and stiff from the car, yet giddy from meeting those whom I know so well for the first time.

     

    TL;DR:

    Connie is short.
    I saw the people mentioned above (my excitement can be measured by the amount of text)
    I got dubious spruce beer
    I saw Queen's production of Newsies (which was awesome)
    Y'all should read The Night Circus

  13. As of this minute (if I remember correctly) I have been part of this wonderful community known as the 17th Shard for one year, three hundred sixty five days, eight thousand seven hundred sixty hours, five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes, or thirty one million five hundred thirty six thousand seconds*. During those tens of millions of seconds, I have posted two thousand nine hundred and forty eight times. As those hundreds of thousands of minutes have passed, people have indepenently expressed that something I said was worthy of a slight reward known as reputation nine hundred and fifty six times. Whilst those thousands of hours went by, I have posted eighty six status updates before this. Throughout those three hundred and sixty five days, twenty five people have expressed that they care enough about what I say enough to follow me. In that one year that I have been here, I have been given the most reputation in one day a total of three times.

     

    in the time I have been here four(?) people I knew left the shard.

    Apollyon: you left at an inopportune time, but we had fun planning the wedding that never happened. thank you for that.

    Bean: we had some fun times at tHI, you always kept us on our toes never knowing when we would have to pull Benson our of the drink. Thank you.

    Ink: You might come back, if/when you do, I am sorry for all the time you’ll spend combing through notifications. You created a vessel where people could lose The Game without derailing anything. Thank you.

    Gancho: we had fun in the Mission Flight, Leviathan. Thank you for that.

     

    For those mentioned here:

    @AonEne you have been with me every step of the path that brought me here, from me asking about Red Winged Blackbird Years In your AMA to the fiery Nomic election that only recently ended. You are an amazing friend.

    @Blessing of Potency you have spurred so much of my love for RWBY and have participated in endless debates about ships. Don’t stop being you.

    @Lunamor your ability to come up with randomness amazes me. You give so much to tLT and tLPW. Never stop the random addition of *channel switches* “learning to use a special rat toilet”

    @RayOfSunshine you hath been mentioned!

    @Shard of Thought your drawings never cease to amaze me and you seem to always have another. Even though I fought against it the whole time, the tLT Plot was fun to read. I do hope you win the Cosmic Battle and Save the Thread.

    @Truthless of Shinovar you are the other main randomness factor in tLT and you sure do love to *wins*. Please infinitivize more third person singular verbs!

     Bit, Fire, Sora, Hoid, Ash, Ax, Rebecca, and anyone else I forgot, you guys are all awesome and it means so much to be able to call you friends. Thank you.

    I just can’t believe it’s been one year already and at the same time it feels like so much longer. I thank all of you who read this from the bottom of my heart for enriching this community.

  14. From DnD with @Mist@Vapor, @FriarFritz, and me with @JesterLavorre DMing:

    how to cross quicksand:

    1: cast spider climb on one member of the party

    2: have them create a zipline with rope and a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle

    3: success

     

    how to hide:

    My character: *practically vanishes*

    Mist's character: *vanishes Drax style*

     

    Fritz: "I'm going to cast spiritual weapon, which is a tuba"

     

    Vapor: "don't kill it brutally, its mom is coming!"

     

    "dwarf balloon"

     

    me: *punches Vapor for -2 damage*

     

    Vapor: *attacks me at night*

    me: (in the language of giant manatees) "you really don't want me to remove my shoes"

      I would be fine with another player, assuming everyone else is. Another after that could get a little difficult. But if more than one person wanted to join, they could maybe join AC’s party, if he’s okay with it.

  17. I have been a member of the Shard for 3 years (and 16 days). This place has been so fun, it seems like just yesterday that I joined, but it also feels like I’ve been here forever. Without further ado: appreciations!

    Mods, though none of you will read this (except Ene, who is listed separately), I would like to thank you for keeping this community one of the most inclusive, friendly, and wholesome ones I’ve seen.

    @AonEne, you were one of the first (if not *the* first) Shardbuddies I had. I’m soooo glad I got to meet you this summer. I can’t really words about how much your friendship means to me. I have yet to drink from the bottle of dubious soda.

    @Tesh, you’re too interesting and funny for your own good. No matter how tired I am, I will stay up to talk to you. Meeting you was awesome and it WILL happen again. Sneezing isn’t normal.

    @Butt Ad Venture, I would also stay up talking to you if it weren’t for the fact that both of us would just be yelling at each other to sleep :P.

    @xinoehp512, I love tLTing with you, looking at your pixel art, and just talking with you, though I don’t have much of an opportunity to do so.

    @Zephrun's Imperium, your art is SOO GOOD! I still need to find a place to put the piece you gave me on my wall, and I hope I can see you in person again, you’re just so nice to talk to.

    @Hen (Nna), [insert comment about our marriage here], but seriously, talking to you is so fun (and watching you freak out about aART, as well). The possibility of my meeting you is fluctuating, but you are one of the people who are at the top of my list to meet. DFTBA!

    @Mist, you are awesome. You always know the best thing to say. (Unlike me, as I have run out of things to say)

    Shortie (@Condensation), meeting you was fun, I could finally figure out how short you actually are.

    @Vapor, I love talking to you, and I can’t wait to see you in person again.

    @Emi, I haven’t been able to talk to you much, and I really miss it. I hope I can meet you this summer.

    @DramaQueen, your play was AWESOME!!!!!! (As are you). I want more geck pics.

    @Channelknight Fadran: your world building is really cool! (even though I still haven’t read anything of yours)

    @King of The Oreo: Your art is awesome and I wish I could join more of your drawing streams.

    I have run out of words, so I will give messages to people, then list those left on the list after my brain stoped languaging

    @Scarletfox: WE WILL PLAY SOON

    @Flying: YOU ARE SO CLOSE I WILL MEET YOU SOMEDAY

    @Lecky Twig: Borsalino > Zoro :P

    Fritz, Truthie, KoI, Spock, Jessie, BoP, Salad, Frustie, Exp, Dark, Enter, Flaffle, Rev, and anyone I may have forgotten, I wish I had words to express how much your friendship means to me.

    I love y'all.
