My new member title named after a guy who cheered me in a Cross Country race by saying my member title while holding a stuffed elephant. It was really amazing. All the other XC people, are there any other random cheers you've gotten?
Also.
That hill.
Was.
BRUTAL.
It was weirdly terraced? So it had flat and then really steep parts. Was painful.

Cus, you know, Internet safety and all that.

I'm very amused by this:

The epilogue of Bands of Mourning had some intense Marvel-post-credit-scene vibes.

Hey all! It's been a while. Sort of. Except it hasn't really. Whatever.I made some shoes. Actually I didn't make them, I decorated them. I'm not a cobbler.ANYWAY! They're super nerdy and suited exactly to my unique taste and I'm so happy.Here they are! Well, here are some pictures of them. I'm not magic.SpoilerLes Mis section

QuoteI do not miss XC.
But those are really cool shoes!
Why thank you. I love the people in XC. Not the running. And thanks!
QuoteThey look really cool!
Thanks!
QuoteCobblers don't make shoes either.
They mend them. Someone who makes shoes is, disappointingly, simply known as a shoemaker.
(In all seriousness, those look great. Good job.)
Oh, sad. Now I feel silly! It's okay. I am silly. And thank you!
QuoteI read "and rain will make the flowers grow" and almost started crying. Les mis has way too much of an effect on me.
That sounds terrible. Running hurts. Drink lots of water and don't get heat exhaustion, I promise it isn't fun.
Same! Except I listened to the songs too much and became a wee bit desensitized. Whoops. That's me with the Outsiders. Very often when I think about
SpoilerJohnny
I tear up. I'm an ol' softie.
Oh, and we got to go in for 7 minutes in the middle of it to cool off, and warmed up and cooled down inside.

Don't you hate it when that guy you really, really dislike shows up and proposes to you?

THE LOKI SEASON TWO TRAILER IS OUT

FSY was amazing. Ditto to @Thaidakar the Ghostblood's SU about it. This is all I have to say.

Has anyone seen the movie my profile picture's from?

PSA: Around The World in 80 Days is a pretty awesome show and you should watch it. I especially love the intro.
-
Thoughts:
Cross country is the best sport, camaraderie-wise at least. Have I done many/any other sports? Nooo... but XC is amazing.
Funny out-of-context sentences:
"I accidentally waterboarded myself with my hair."
"I looked at a horse and said, 'That cow looks like ice cream!'"If I get a tiny, cute(male), puppy with black, curly/shaggy fur, I will name him Johnny. You can't stop me.

Hey y'all! It's my Shardiversary today(has it really been a year?)! And I just wanted to say y'all have been awesome!
First, I'm going to mention someone that I don't really know, but that I admire, and that's @Treamayne My friend, you always are so painstaking in answering all the theories and you always put so much time, thought and effort in answering and citing everything. Go you! Sorry if this is random.
Next up is @Shining Silhouette. You're so friendly and SO AMAZING at piano. You are one of the first people who comes to mind when I think of cool Sharders. I'm not good at articulating my thoughts, so this won't be very eloquent, but just know that y'all are all awesome, not proportionally to how much I say about you.
@CalanoCorvus, you're such a good writer and are so friendly and cool to hang out with. Thanks for reading my story!
@The Wandering Wizard, you're such a cool dude. Your wisdom and randomness are so much fun.
@Cinnamon, you are so sweet and so much fun to be around! Go you. And thanks for all your feedback on The Night's Broken Daughter.
@Shadowed, continue being awesome, because you already are! But keep doing it! Thanks to you too with your help on TNBD.
@Robin Sedai, you are kind and awesome and also articulate. Good job!Sorry this has been really short and I KNOW I'm forgetting some people. But if I don't post this now, I never will.

PS: How's that friend's journey through Stormlight Archive. Did they continue after Way of Kings?
Indeed she did, and is on here as @IheartKaladin4eva!
Thank you all for being amazing.

All y'all artist people. Any tips for shading? I'm seriously struggling to figure it out. I can't do anything that actually works and adds depth.

Hi! An art human here!Here are some things that I hope will help:I suggest looking up references and art websites (here are two of my favs:https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/asaro-head-9d26548182f8465a8e97371a9170561e,https://line-of-action.com/practice-tools) and if you're using graphite pencils then maybe use different lead mines or pencils,because those are the usual culprits in shading gone wrong.The softer the lead,the more volume can be added to the drawing <3.
My best tip for shading that really got me out of trouble is to keep it as simple as possible.The darker the shade,the more depth that section has,and the opposite with lighter spots and highlights.
I really hope this helps,and I'm sorry if it doesn't <3.
Byeee!

I HACKED THE PIANO!!
Okay, so actually not hacked. It's an electric piano(but it sounds pretty real), so you can transpose the key it's in! So I can play the lame All I Ask Of You sheet music in a boring different key, but it sounds like the original key! It's so cool!!!
Also, if you hold down the sustain pedal while you turn my piano on, all the notes are permanently sustained and stop being sustained if you press the pedal. It's fun.
-
Vibrato slowed down is hilarious. Try the main theme for Phantom of the Opera as a reference.
Oh, and it also sounds awesome on 1.5 speed.

I know I just did a status update, but..."There's still a lot of good in the world. Tell Dally. I don't think he knows."If you know, you know.

So you know how I was all excited about this play I'm in? Where I get to be a lead and have a bunch of lines?
Well, it's not going great. Mr. and Mrs. Mouse (Mortimer and Myrtle) barely know their lines and giggle every five seconds and the two stepsisters will always go WAY too far with their argument(they start screaming at each other and the only way to stop them is to physically move between them).
On the bright side, there are at least 6 kids who legitimately doing great.
Oh, did I mention that the show is two days away?
It's not a big deal... just a low-key play thing with only one performance... but I've worked pretty hard on this... and I'm frustrated. -
You know that mom

Pop quiz for random bystanders! (no, not Random Bystander, although if you happen to see this, you can respond!
): In Phantom, is the line "say you need me with you here beside you" or "say you want me with you here beside you"?
Put your answer in a spoiler!

Should I change my name to Shallan Stormy?

For some reason, something about the way Michael Crawford sings at 3:53 of Down Once More/Track Down This Murderer creeps the heck out of me.
This is all I have to say.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. After school, there was a fundraiser(buy and paint ceiling tiles to go on the ceiling). Here's mine(I did it with a friend):Spoiler
Also I had (marinated)caprese salad for the first time in a long time, and it was SO GOOD. As good as I remember.
The highlight! I finally watched Phantom of the Opera! (not live. But the recording: the 25th Anniversary Phantom of the Opera at Royal Albert Hall or something like that.) I've listened to the songs plenty, but I'd never actually seen it! It was SO GOOD, you guys! I did not love Raoul(Hadley Fraser); his All I Ask of You was NOT comforting or sweet like I would have liked, he seemed more... annoyed with her than anything(although apparently he didn't know the song as well as he liked). But other than that, it was everything I dreamed. Which is happying.
SpoilerI probably would have cried more at the end if I didn't know exactly what was going to happen. Also Ramin Karimloo is such a good Phantom. Him covering his ears at the end of All I Ask of You?Perfection. Sad perfection.Oh, and also! His sad, lonely, broken rendition of Masquerade at the end is absolutely heartbreaking.Someone on the Internet articulated why I love PotO so much: because Phantom is clearly the antagonist, but he is so sad and sympathetic. Murderer, stalker... but so sad.Also, Raoul didn't do a very good job raising up his hand to the level of his eyes.Oh, and at the end during the bows, the actor still has the costume on but he's acting like a normal cheerful, friendly person and it's very disconcerting.Bye, y'all!(this felt like a @Kajsa :) status update for some reason. Not a bad thing, just odd. Huh.)- Show previous comments 3 more

We watched it in choir toward the beginning of the year, but all the kids were being so loud that I couldn't hear it...

lol this kind of does remind me of one of my own SUs.

I find it hilarious how
SpoilerMadam Giry is like, "now remember, KEEP YOUR HAND AT THE LEVEL OF YOUR EYES" and he's like, "yup, got it, will do" and then he confronts the Phantom, doesn't do it, and then Phantom puts a noose around his neck. Like... um, feel like you could have prevented this... pretty easily.
Also, I asked IheartKaladin4eva if she knew how it ended, and this is what she said:
Spoiler"Hmm. I think so? Smt like, oh u have to marry me, and she’s like, imma take off ur mask oh no ur hideous imma run away now and then he like, dies from sadness?
Don’t tell me what actually happens"I'm glad she doesn't actually know. That will make it all the more tearful when she does watch it.
