Hello, my freaky darlings! I just found the Shardcast and thought, what are these forums I hear them talking about? Lo and behold. Thanks for all the great content and discussion; my mind is glowing.

Avid inhaler and exhaler of secondary worlds, here. In these trying times of isolation, I'm starting to feel like everything outside my place is getting less real

Yeah, but that's normal with what's been going on. Welcome to our little corner of the internet

Welcome! I feel the same way, and it’s surreal. I assume you and elsecaller, did you I take the quiz?

It's close, but I think The Bands of Mourning is my fave

I did; yes I came up as an Elsecaller. My second highest percentage was Truthwatcher

Thanks! My favorite system from Sanderson is the chalk diagrams of the Rithmatists. My favorite from other authors is probably the wards of the Demon Cycle. I'm a real sucker for magic circles

Hello, friend! Welcome to the Shard! Do you have any hobbies other than reading?

(also, try not to post twice in a row, the mods get angry at you for that)

[Mist she/her]

Not angry, at least not unless you do it after warnings. They just discourage it.

Welcome to the Shard.

Some people here are a whee but crazy.

I'm lucky that I'm a fish.

Aha, I see the other option now; thanks for the heads up!

As far as hobbies, mostly content-related. I've been consuming a lot of movies and television recently, and the old friends like music and sketching. Last year I would have said traveling around the states as well, but not so much of that these days

Yeah, don't do what my family did and get trapped in another state.

Yes, that is better wording.

The most recent few that I've watched and enjoyed have been Fast Color, Siren (the horror one), and He Never Died. I listen to a few movie podcasts and try to make sure I'm watching the ones they're covering, so I've been watching a lot of them recently, some of which are quite bad! Most of them are fun though. Some of my Top Ten from years past would be Hot Fuzz, Fargo, and Aliens

So glad you are enjoying! New-ish myself but the content here definitely reaches Cosmere-ic proportions (oof that was bad sorry about that). As far as the glowing mind I would tend to agree. Just want to make sure tho you haven't swallowed any radioactive waste at any point in the past few days right? That would have me slightly concerned for the glowing effect. Alternatively, if you have somehow managed to locate and absorb Stormlight to start glowing I am also quite intrigued.

Also slightly concerned, I find bigger worlds tend to get clogged in the throat if you try to inhale them too quickly. If you are Galactus though, please avoid devouring Earth for the time being, would love to have Brandon be able to finish the SA. If it is our time tho, can't say we haven't sorta earned it so ig it's okay. Maybe just inhale the smaller worlds for now tho . As for outside life slowly distancing itself from reality, feel it too lol it's crazy rn. Well at least you got an excellent author to read books from and an entertaining forum to peruse. Welcome to the Shard!
