      If you press emojis, then press categories, then press emotes, you will find them.

    Suddenly, Larry was attacked by the screaming chicken.

    Little did the platypus know, the chicken was just a distraction.

    Granted, the lopens have two arms and no sense of humor. I wish to get an A on my econ final.

    I know that I'm late to this party, but I just finished Yumi, and oh my goodness was it a ride. Words cannot describe the emotions flowing through my body. This book has forced me to return to this forum after over a year and a half hiatus because it was so gosh darn wonderful. Yumi = amazing Painter = amazing Their romance was adorable and their interactions amazing. Reading it felt like a twist dystopia - like it was a dystopian society that had appeared somehow SO NORMAL to me the whole time I was reading I had no idea that something was so incredibly off.

    Hello my dear friends for the first time in a long time. I just finished Yumi: the Nightmare Painter, and I am in shambles. Literal shambles. I cannot. Keep going. In my life. Without. Sharing. With. Someone. Who. Understands.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Tears have been shed. Only two other pieces of media have ever brought me to tears before: Way of Kings and Nimona. 

    I cannot with this book. My whole body has been tense for the last three hours as I've finished the sanderlanche. My body surges with emotion and sadness and happiness and shock and oh my freaking gosh what the hecc just happened.

     

    In other news - did we change some fonts around here? woah.

    1. The Wandering Wizard

      The Wandering Wizard

      It truly is an amazing book :D

      Though I personally found Defiant to be the best one so far

      I CANNOT wait to read Defiant. Do you think I should re-read the first three Skyward books first though? It's been a few years...

    3. The Wandering Wizard

      Probably would be good! And if you thought Yumi was good...just wait :3

    Rena gasped in surprise at first, then shrugged, anything was worth a try... "Well, if you want someone to take it off your hands, I would love to help out! If you just hand it over, I can take it, and then you won't have to blow up any universes to get rid of it!" She said with a cheerful(ish) smile. Rena nodded to the newcomer
  10. Scarletfox
    "What is that? What does it do?" There were a lot of people coming all at once. This was going to be a busy day. "Welcome to The Waiting Room good sir," Rena sighed.

    Rena sighed, she was going to have to talk someone out of universe-destruction, again. Why did stuff like this always seem to happen the days Rena actually had stuff to do while in the waiting room?? Ah well, trying to save some random universe was arguably more important than her choice in hair cut. "So tell me, good sir, how much is this employer paying you?" Rena glanced over at the new comer, and realized how she could make this all work out for her. She promptly tossed that abomination of a haircut catalogue at him saying, "pick me a new haircut while I'm busy, will ya?"
  13. Scarletfox
    thanks!! I agree, I think the rhymes could definitely use some improvement - I wasn't intending on using alliteration, but ended up doing it anyways, the hope was for the sound of the lines to flow and/or clash - for example, alluring and awaiting for the winds to blow. I hoped for line three to be a clash of sounds, however I don't think I quite have it right yet. I tried to set it up like it was going one way, and then contrast it by going the other way, but I think it ended up just not making much sense Winter's Conquest (try two from earlier) Frosted tears on the trembling defenders, Let go at last by their former lenders, Tearing and chattering and screaming they go Challenged and slain by the singers of snow

    Rena sighed, slightly amused, she had a similar reaction the first time she had an appointment at The Waiting Room. Rena half coughed-half laughed (her usual response when she didn't know how to respond), standing up. "You're going to what now??" "I second that," Rena added.
  15. Scarletfox
    Rena laughed nervously. These were obviously newbies to The Waiting Room... "So this is actually a universal communal waiting room run by an immortal clerk," she paused, then quickly added, "if you didn't already know, that is." She smiled again, and hoped there were was no one from the mafia here today
  16. Scarletfox
    What do you guys think about episode four? I like how (through all the episodes), it can be a little confusing, and you aren't ever sure quite exactly what's going on, which I think is intentional
  17. Scarletfox
    Rena looked up from the beat-up haircut catalogue to see the posh-iest man she had ever seen stride in. She coughed nervously, but she was kind of glad someone had come to wait with her, because she still had no idea what haircut she was going to get. "Hi!" She said perkily, "This is The Waiting Room, don't you know? I'm waiting for a haircut, what do you think I should get?" Rena ruffled her frizzy, thick black hair that fell nearly to her waist. As she looked down, she realized how underdressed she felt now - sweatpants and a taco bell T-shirt... ah well, the best way to cover up insecurity was to smile and nod, so she looked back up at the man and gave him a big smile! Another one walked in and Rena's smile wavered as it was replaced with an expression of curiosity and puzzlement as she inspected what was in the newcomer's hands.

    I know this is certainly amateur, but I'm experimenting a bit with euphony and cacophony Autumn Alluring and awaiting for the winds to blow The golden glittering tree-leaves go Tearing and chattering and screaming a-flow Challenged and slain, by the singers of snow edit: also oops just saw this was supposed to be a haiku... ah well

    Kalli: Kalli pushed her giant round spectacles up against her rough pale skin, looking at her clipboard, then looking up at the empty waiting room, then back at her clipboard. None of the people she was supposed to retrieve were here. She heaved a sigh, running her hand through her thin gray hairs (working as a clerk for the universe for centuries did that to a person), and spun around leaving through the door of eternity, slamming it behind her. Hopefully someone would show up soon. This job was boring enough as is, she wanted someone to eavesdrop on. Rena: Rena walked into the waiting room and coughed nervously, glancing around. There was nobody here, perfect! This would give her all the time to figure out what haircut she was going to get, because honestly, she had no idea. She strode over and plopped down onto one of those cushy small couches, grabbed the worn hairstyle catalogue that was sitting on the small side table, and began to leaf through it. A third of the pages were ripped out, a third had been utilized as miniature art canvases by what appeared to be several monsters with melted crayons for hands, and remaining third alternated between Chad and Karen looking cuts. Rena sighed. This was going to be interesting.

    I've been rereading the Stormlight Archive (first time since consuming all other cosmere content), and can I just say...

    THEY ARE THE BEST - THE STORMING BEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD

    I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but like, bro- these are so so so beautifully crafted. I was reading them, and I was really enjoying them, and then last night (reading WoR), something snapped within me, and the enjoyment has morphed backed into an obsession. 

    enjoy this shallan rant

    Spoiler

    I was reading Shallan's POV more carefully, and storms almighty, she has way more character building and foreshadowing than I remember

    BUT

    I think that part of that is intentional, Shallan is set up to be a character that is overlooked, because the way she responds to mental crem is different than you would expect, for example, different that Kaladin. Rather than being obviously broken on the outside, it's more of a reality in the inner world. A lot of people skim over her parts because they're less action than Kaladin's are, and she seems more 'bland,' when in reality, her character is super duper deep. The more you get to know her character, the more you realize, she's not bland, but so many people like her are looked over and thought as two-dimensional and bland because they don't always show their inner world on the outside. 

    Spoiler

    also I was supposed to be writing an essay on Frankenstein and instead I spent the last hour or so here and nobody can stop me MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :P

      Shallan has always been one of my favorite characters, yes! So good.

      Brandon writing five books in secret is amazing.

      The man is a living legend. Don't know what we did to deserve him!

      The rate at which he writes books has gone from "haha kinda funny" to "genuinely terrifying." Like I'm going to be  afraid to go to sleep tonight for fear that Brandon might go on a writing sprint and drown us all in all the new books he wrote during it

    "Why, thank you, @Boomerang Guy!" *tears off a piece of the waffle, and hands it to @Experience* "Guess I'm not the only hungry one here"

    Another thought to add to the whole Dolores knowing Bruno was in the house the whole time - during her part of We Don't Talk about Bruno, if you look in the background you can definitely see Bruno sneaking around, and even grooving to the song at one point. It's interesting too because Maribel keeps being about to look around and then Dolores pulls her close and redirects her attention, which would make sense if Dolores knew Bruno's secret and was trying to help keep it.
