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.

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.

I’ll record a little something for you, Stormy what exactly are you trying to shade? Just anything?

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!

Faces, mostly. Sorry for the late response, I didn't really get around to it. But I wanted to!

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.

Just rereading it, and it's seriously a good book!

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.- Show previous comments 3 more

Okay so we did a dress rehearsal today and it went SO much better!! I'm so happy, and it's gonna be better than I thought.

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?

Haha
Y’all have any ideas about what I should change it to? I’m thinking about Aloha, because in the SE game I’m in someone made a typo, and I said that for the duration of the game I would not respond to Alpha, only Aloha. But that is more a joke and I want some more serious and cool, you know?
-
Everything is serious and cool here.
I quite literally named myself after a group of fictional traveling performers

I was so confused when I got this notif, like what the heck who is S. Stormy and why am I following them

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.

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

Phantom is amazing. That is all I can say
SpoilerOne of my friends likes to use his watch to reflect light into our eyes and whenever he does I sing "Keep your hands at the level of your eyes" (to block the light, not a noose) and then, we just start singing Phantom together. Its fun

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.

Kay so the Phantom is evil and messed up as heck, but I do feel bad for him. Which proves Phantom is well done.

Limiting Internet time to 15 minutes per day, at parent's request. Still love y'all, but won't be on as much. If I do it well, I'll get Stormlight miniatures.

You make a good point. I feel less weird.

I wrote a ketek about grief. Please note that my feelings over Ivan(my cat, for those who didn't know)'s death are not as extreme as presented in this poem, but I wanted to do something to be sad, and I also wanted to write a ketek. So yeah!
SpoilerLessen grief won't
It is there forever
Abating--but returning acutely.
Never will it leave permanently.
Pain won't leave.
I'd love to forget
Will emptiness hurt more?...Yes. More hurt.
Emptiness would forget love.
Would it leave?
Will not pain?
Permanently leave it will?
Never. Acutely return.
But...
Abating forever.
There it is:
Won't grief lessen?Also.
Hehe.
My first role with real lines I actually have to put in time to memorize.

I think that Breaths, like Hemalurgy, have huge Cosmere implications, what with the fact that anyone can have them. Well as long as you can get someone to give them to you

I already posted this in the Bad Day thread, but:
My cat, Ivan, passed away today. It was extremely sudden.
I got home from school and he was yowling. He's old(16)... and I knew it was coming at some point.
Just... sometime later. Tomorrow. Not today.
Sorry, I got distracted, not making sense. He was old, and he didn't do much but poop in the wrong places and puke on the carpet. But... he was snuggly.
We got him to the vet, and they said he had either a stroke or a mass in his brain. He was disoriented, and he couldn't walk. So they said the kind thing to do was put him down.
So... he's gone now. I'll be okay. It was just so sudden, and...
I don't know. I'll be okay, but it's sad now.

Yeah, we did fine(except for the awkward 10-second-pause where the lights didn't turn off at the end of scene 8). Either Annie wasn't actually sick or she concealed it very well, because she did great!

Wasn't really the tech's fault: we had someone who was supposed to go off-stage before the lights turned off, but they... weren't led off stage, so the lights didn't go off, so we didn't go off.

Wingfeather Season One finale has come out. Since the Wingfeather thread died a while back, I'll put my thoughts in here. Sorry followers that don't know Wingfeather.
SpoilerSoo... they moved My Love Has Gone!
Which... I don't entirely agree with. I think it's perfect where it is in Book Three, with
SpoilerEsben dying and Leeli singing to comfort him, and having that as one's first exposure to that song. Because he's really dying. And then he says the line from it (In death, my love, I loved you best) and those are his last words? Oh my gosh, it's so hard-hitting. And here? At the end of Book One? It just... doesn't quite live up to that part enough to claim My Love Has Gone Across the Sea. It's just Podo "dying", and then he wakes up and everything's fine. It just... lacks the tears. Although I did have the sniffles while Nia was singing. Maybe I'll change my mind when the end of Book Three rolls around in the show? I don't know.
So that, above, is spoilers for book 3. And I just... I dunno. It's not the same. Still pretty good though, although they didn't hint at Peet/Artham's guilt over
SpoilerEsben
enough.
I did love Nugget's deep barks and stuff, that was fun.
Oh! And the warning at the beginning? Kind of odd, because if they stick to the book's plot, they'll have to put warnings for maybe older than 7-year-olds. Did that make sense? Anyway, they'll have to start putting that warning at the beginning of every episode.
Spoilers for Book One above.
