Spren change, now who's a lightweaver?

And out of nowhere...
I'm a Sentient Awakened Object.
On your level now, Clearcut!
Thanks, everyone who gave me upvotes. I'm saving a giant mushy you-all-rock-and-the-Shard-has-changed-my-life for my one year anniversary (I haven't even been here a year yet? Wow, feels like so long and yet so little at the same time...), but again, thanks.
CELEBRATION TIME COME ON!

HAPPY.
Uh...
Oh, right.
ANNUAL SPAWN DAY!! OTHERWISE KNOWN AS BIRTHDAY!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

It’s… been a year. Wowza, that shot by fast. It’s probably fate, then, that decided that it’d be fun to make me have a writer’s block right now.
I’m not going to tag anybody… but then again, I might tag everybody. I’m not sure; I’m writing this ahead of time. I’m worried that if I tag people, I’ll inevitably forget somebody, and that’d be a sad thing. Heck; the Shard might not let me tag everyone, and we all know how feisty the status-update-editing algorithm is (I.E. it does not exist).
There are definitely some things I need to address separately, so by using the POWER OF SPOILER BOXES, I can categorize stuff!
The Iconar Collective:
SpoilerThank you guys all SO much for supporting my book series! I’ve always wanted to be a writer (though I’ve never really wanted to be a writer until a year ago or so), but I’ve never had the proper motivation. With so many people who read, talk, and meme about my book, I’ve been completely willing to keep going; to the point where I’ve written my (almost) longest version yet (it’s second only to Mark 3, but that doesn’t count because the margins are weird, and the font size was 14--in Arial, no less! And I plan on writing more today [yesterday for you guys] so maybe I will break my old record before this goes up).
As a special thanks for all this support, all you lucky bugs are getting two extra chapters posted. I’ve been working hard on getting ahead of my posted chapters, and it’s paid off; I have three chapters that not even my Beta Squad has read (bwahahahaha!)
The Fellowship of the Thing:
SpoilerHoly cow, this RP’s only been up for a third of 2020 (yesterday was its 125th day up on the Shard). Since then it’s expanded into Side Tales, Other Tales, Mishmash Inn, a literal lore thread, and (my personal favorite) Seasonal. We’ve taken what was originally just my sheer, untamed boredom, and transformed it into the greatest story on the Shard (I don’t care if that title is self-proclaimed, it’s my Shardiversary and I can SAY WHATEVER THE SCUD I WANT). We got the most lore (okay, actually… probably not, but we can pretend we do), the most epic character arcs (*COUGH* Foxrangking *COUGH*), and the best ships ever (QUEEDRAN).
Speaking of characters… I made this specifically for today:

Shoutouts to other RPs:
SpoilerProbably my favorite RP on the Shard is Siren’s Call, not least because JANICE. I’d be lying if I didn’t include Crystellation, though, and I’m still really excited for KrystalFyre to make it up there with the big kids. Let’s not forget the Caped Crusaders (Xaoth the Incredible will never die), Radiant Academy (Leonie and Shen may never know who’s the better chess player), Myths and Magi (mmhmm, honey, I know honey; do make sure to say hello to Jeana every once in awhile, mmkay hon?), and The Artifacts (I wonder where it’s going…?)
The Shard in my Personal Life:
SpoilerI joined the Shard on October 17th 2019 (I’m assuming you guys knew that), but before the pandemic decided to lock us all in our houses for an undisclosed period of time, I wasn’t exactly active here. I think I first started meeting the community on March 21, when I started the now-dead thread “Cosmere Board Games.” Both Experience and AonEne were on there, though I doubt I knew who they were at the time.
Before The Fellowship of the Thing was put up, probably my most popular thread was High Imperial Academy. Wasing the still knowing of bright saying the say! We had McWafy, Enter a Username, AonEne, Shard of Reading, Experience, The_Truthwatcher, Truthless, Spren of Kindness, DramaQueen, Condensation, Hentient, Frustration, Negative_Null, Turtle (or… sorry, eltruT), and Scarletfox on there. This thread lasted through the beginnings and middles of the Fellowship of the Thing, and a lot of people on there turned out to be some of my closest Shardbuddies—and everyone listed there is someone I consider a Shardfriend.
I know I said I wouldn’t tag anyone for fear of missing somebody, but now I’m even more afraid of missing somebody because of that massive list up there. I can’t forget Mist, Vapor, revelryintheart (didn’t capitalize it just for you), Matrim’s Dice, Nathrangking, Emi, Ghanderflaffle, I Am A Fish, Danex, Xino, A.C., Darkfinder, Doomstick, Awakened Salad, Fritz, Kelsier’sGodComplex, Bearer of Agonies, Chasmgoat, or Spock. I also hope to get to know people like King’s_Way, HoidWasTaken, MusicalReader, The One Ring, and Aspiring Writer in the future. Dear gosh… I hope that’s everyone. I’m AFRAID.
Anyways… I had a mental breakdown just a couple days ago. If you’re wondering why I just said that, then you’re probably not alone. I have these every few weeks or so, because social distancing (*spits*) has a weird side effect of violent mood swings. During these breakdowns, I tend to think about the meaning of life, because… y’know. Consistency. During this particular one, however, I was thinking about my friends, many of whom I hadn’t seen since early March. I let my emotions guide me through my thoughts, trusting them to let me know if what I was thinking was right or wrong (that’s how I write emotional scenes, actually). When I turned my mind to the Shard, however, I didn’t expect a wave of gratitude, of all things. My parents don’t know much about the Shard, but whenever I talk about (which isn’t often), they’re always sharing concerned glances: Oh, Fadran’s on the internet. He’s talking to people on the internet.
I try to respect my parents’ opinions because… well, they’ve been around longer, and they probably know more than I do, but if I had to say one thing that they were wrong about, then it would probably be you guys. I realized, in that moment, that you weren’t just random accounts on the internet; you weren’t even just people on the internet. I came to realize that I considered you guys, anonymous as you are, as friends. All those people I listed up there are my friends. And with so little to be proud of in quarantine, I don’t think I’ve ever felt more accomplished in 2020 than when I realized that I had been in this place with this wonderful community for a whole year.
So... Happy Shardiversary to me, I guess.
Thanks, everyone!

QuoteThere's a story here.
There isn't it's just a scenario. I figured it could happen though. Brandon hasn’t been back to Nebraska for a while.

Happy shardiversary Fadran! I’m so glad I got to meet you and I hope we can meet up someday at a signing or something, even if we don’t realize it's each other until like 3 months after.

Guys, I'm kind of mad at fantasy books for making me have way too high of standards for dating options. I blame Brandon Sanderson for me being unable to find someone to have a crush on. It's like...
Cute guy: *exists* *maybe expresses interest*
Me: Can you allomantically increase your senses by ingesting tin?
Him: Um...no?
Me: Sorry bro, you're not my type. -

It is time! Today marks 2 years on the shard for me and in that time I have met so many amazing people.at first I was hesitant, but now I know that the people on this website are some of the best people in the world. This beautiful haven has such a great community and I am truly blessed to be a part of it.
I normally don’t name names in this type of thing because I don’t want to leave anyone out, but there's a few people I really need to mention.
@AonEne you are an amazing person. From day one you were welcoming and supportive, even if we barely knew each other (because I was scared of you). I now know you are kind, funny, and astonishingly good at modding.
@Lunamor you might’ve been the very first person on here to really try to get to know me. I first met you on TLT of course and found you super funny. You are still the same person the overwhelmed little freshmen first latched on to and I love you for it.
@Truthless of Shinovar what can I say about you? You can be @Frustration at times, but I a really weird way. You are fantastic and wonderful, but I will never forgive you for making me miss ookla season last year.
@Shard of Reading @I Am A Fish @DramaQueen @hoiditthroughthegrapevine @Condensation and @Matrim's Dice have all been incredibly supportive as well with my mediocre art in my inktober thread (I’m cheating on today's, I want it to be beautiful) to my sometimes annoyed posts in CCRB you all are fantastic.
It really blows my mind that people like what I have to say and offer here. At school I’ve never been a popular kid. I’ve always been the awkward one in the corner who gets rebuffed when they try to join conversations. Many of you have been there too, and I think that's why we have such a supportive community. We know what other go through, because we've been through it. Not everyone was the awkward kid, but those kool kidz are just as amazing. It's astonishing to me the fact that I was top of the week for like 3 days in a row. I thank you all for that.
I know I’ve missed people, but just know that everyone is appreciated, loved, and thanked by me. (Especially those who deal with me when I get grumpy in roast battles). It's probably been the best two years of my life and I hope to see many more.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much.
