Guessing that most of the people that will read this will read it in the morning
ya know,, when people are supposed to be awake lolll, so.. eh, I’m not sorry.As some of you know, I will be serving a full-time proselytizing mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; even smaller amount of you will know that I will officially be set apart (or, officially become) a missionary on August 13th, 2023 (today for when most of y’all will read this), and begin my missionary training on August 14th, 2023 (this upcoming Monday, or tomorrow when most of y’all will read this). This means that I will be taking about 18 months of my life to serve the people in the area I have been assigned to as well as step away from things and websites such as these.
I thought about leaving without saying a word, but I then thought to at least say something before I go, even though I’m sure that most of you don’t read my status’ anyway.
Anyways, I ain’t gonna be sappy or anything like that; I just wanted to let y’all know where I’m going to be and not to really “mourn” or freak out that I’m gone or something stupid like that, ‘cause I’m not dying or anything like that. I know y’all have a tendency to do that, so I’m setting the record straight: I am leaving, but I’m leaving for what I believe and know to be a good cause. I know that not all of you share the same sentiment, but all I ask for is some understanding and respect for my decision, if you will; that’s all I’m asking.
Know that y’all aren’t alone and that there is a whole wide world beyond this website. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve met some amazing people and have had some of the best creative writing exercises here, but you can experience that in the world (if you are able, of course; not assuming that all of you are basement dwellers or something like that).
There is more out there, and you can find it anywhere: Religion, Science, Fantasy Books, Art, Television Shows, and so on; you have to be the one that takes the first step.
That’s all from me, though. God be with you all till we meet again~ <3

This past Tuesday (May 30th, 2023), I received my mission call.
I will be serving as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Lansing, Michigan Mission for 18 months (which is about a year and a half), beginning August 14th, 2023
For those who might not know what a missionary is or what a mission entails, it’s basically where the missionary – in this case, me – will basically put everything about my life right now (such as schooling) on hold and devote 18 months to serving God and those in the area I’ve been assigned to.
I will be doing things such as proselytizing, and also general service like helping people with yard work or other assorted activities if it’s required of me. I will not be active on any of my social media accounts (except maybe my personal Facebook that basically no one on here knows, depending on what my mission president [my boss, basically] says), including the 17th Shard
even tho I’m not particularly active on here in the first place lolll.I will be trying to keep a emailing list where I will send out emails about what I did the previous week at least once a week. If any of you want to be on that list, feel free to PM me on here (of if y’all have my Discord, do that) since I don’t want y’all to just give your personal emails on a very public website.
I’m very excited, and I also have very little time to prepare, but I know that it will be worth it.
SpoilerNote: I also considered not saying where I was going for my mission, then realized that literally no one
besides a very very small handful of peopleknow my actual name; anyone who knows where I live is smaller than that, so it really doesn’t matter.But yeah :)) Y’all have me for a limited amount of time before I am gone for 18 months to serve the Lord.

In other words, heyyyyyyy, I wrote something that’s not responding to the Zvso rp.
You can read it here
or pretend that you read it or just ignore me:SpoilerAin’t even gonna try and fit it all in a spoiler box.
It’s a revise of an old piece of writing that I’m pretty sure I never shared on here, and I won’t give the original since it’s very crappy and clunky <3

“Tress of the Emerald Sea” should be adapted and animated by Studio Ghibli, something like “Castle in the Sky” or “Howl’s Moving Castle.” The Hoid narrating thing can be done like with Kuzco from “The Emperor’s New Groove.”
I will not be taking “no” for an answer.

Counter-counter proposal: all of the above, so muppet treasure island studio ghibli Kuzco.

I had not considered this, but now I too will not take "no" for an answer.

For all of y’all’s consideration: Any of the Cosmere books, but an anime.
Pro 1: The characters would translate well to the anime art styles; like there would be a different art style for each series, like Mistborn would have a style similar to “Bungou Stray Dogs” while Stormlight would have a style similar to.. I dunno, “Demon Slayer” or something.
SpoilerExhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit B 1/2
SpoilerPro 2: Fight scenes would look heccn’ cool! Think of Mistborn; it’s already basically anime if you think about it: Big swords, logic-defying jumps, captivating storyline, many characters, and metal. Lots of metal.
Sadly, I cannot animate and I can’t think of any anime fight scenes off the top of my head that would fit, but I have a feeling that “Attack on Titan” fight scenes give off that vibe; I’ve yet to see the anime because I am very much lazy, so maybe ask someone else.
Pro 3: Our favorite characters would have hot anime art to go with it. If I could word this better, I would; but I think y’all would get the main idea.
Pro 4: Sanderson wouldn’t be constrained to find live-action actors that look like the Cosmere cast as it would just be drawn and animated. Like seriously: How can authors pass up animation for that? Seems like too much of a headache to even attempt.
Pro 5: The humor in the books would be funny in anime format loll. Imagine Kaladin becoming more chibi when Shallan does the boots thing; imagine the expressions and the memes that could come out of that. I not realize that this is a long shot, but eh; worth a shot anyways.
Pro 6: Wouldn’t have to condense a 600+ page book into an hour an a half or more movie. I know that Sanderson plans on having a live-action show, but ya know.
Pro 7
though i think this is personal taste: Everything sounds cooler in Japanese. Seriously. Go to your settings on a movie or show and switch it to Japanese; the audio won’t be synced up with the lips, but it would sounds way cooler.And the cons:
Con 1: Sanderson has already said that he plans on having a live-action show for at least Stormlight Archive and probably Mistborn. I think that explains itself.
Con 2: Anime does take a whole hecc of a lot of work to put into. I dunno if y’all hear what kind of labor goes on at anime studios when they are making an anime, but it certainly is a trip, and less favorable with certain studios. Animation takes a lot, and it would most likely had to be hand-drawn on a computer or something along those lines.
Con 3: Anime takes a lot of money too. Though some (maybe most, idk) anime studios do not pay their animators well and focus it to other things that can depend on the studio, that’s a lot of cash going into this thing that people might not even like, which brings me to…
Con 4: Not everyone likes anime. I know some people who can’t get into anime because of the art style or other assorted reasons, and the same might apply to the Sanderfans if Sanderson decides to scrap the live-action idea and do anime; might not be a worthy thing to invest in.
I’m sure that there are more cons, but I can’t think of any right now. I was thinking about this because I finally have been sitting down and reading Elantris for the first time. Anyways, ima go back to that and might just disappear again lolll.
