Looking in the mirror: Lookin' good, handsome.
Seeing a photo of myself: an abomination. who let this happen
-
I think a lot of the reason we hate this is due to every human being at least slightly asymmetrical. When you see yourself in the mirror, you're reflected, and that's what your brain has latched on to as "what I look like." But in pictures, you're not reversed, and you get an Uncanny Valley effect from your own face.
I've seen this same issue in Zoom and Discord video calls where for whatever reason, your own image doesn't start out mirrored. It's DISTURBING until you can flip it back to "correct."

So I wrote a daffy little short story called "Upward Mobility." It's about a demon who gets accidentally summoned to Earth via IKEA assembly. Shenanigans ensue.
Well, the anthology I threw it at really liked it, and that anthology is running a Kickstarter (has about a week left on it). It's packed with loads more good stories than just mine, too!
-
Thanks! This is officially my fourth published short story. (The JordanCon anthology in April will have #5!)

Do I:
- Go see the cutesy anime romcom with a friend or family member, thus outing myself as a weeb and stripping myself of all remaining dignity? or
- Go alone, appearing the very model of the lonely weeb, thus stripping myself of all remaining dignity?
I mean, I could just wait 'til it hits Crunchyroll or something. But I kinda do want to see it on the big screen...

You know, if they're willing to go with you, it's not like they'll have a leg to stand on when it comes to mocking you.
In fact, you'll have dirt on them. Leverage.

I've been on this wild roller coaster of a fansite for four years and I ain't about to get off anytime soon. Here until we crash and burn, baby. ...Let's not, though.
This time I'm going to save musings for after the Compliments Section. This is so I can put the staff right at the top, as they tend to have limited time, so certain people don't have to ask for a TL;DR anymore.
I intentionally won't try to mention everyone, or anywhere close actually, but I love every single one of you.
First up: @Chaos, as intimidated as I used to be by you, I now think you're wonderful and kind and I really admire you. I enjoy talking with you even when we're both tired and really should be sleeping. Can't wait to read your book someday.
@Argent, your humor and measuredness make the world a better place to be in. I'm very glad I get to know you.
@LewsTherinTelescope, you're cool and things. Words are hard but talking with you is always Good. You know what I mean.
@Otto Didact, one day I am going to meet and hug you and the world will probably be at peace or something. I need to talk to you more because you're amazing and your Dad Vibes are healing. Also, you have possibly the best hair in staff chat. Don't tell Evgeni.
@Kaymyth, speaking of parent vibes, you are really cool like so cool and also so loving and also like can I have your autograph someday?? Literally, I mean, I'm gonna be buying your books eventually
@Paleo, your wizardry is fantastic, but your creations aren't the only thing making you awesome. I appreciate you and your help very much.
@Voidus, you and your care and thoughtfulness have never ceased to be there, and I hope I get to talk to you, read your RP, and hear about your campaigns and kiddos being cute forever.
@firstRainbowRose and @little wilson, meeting you two at the last Dragonsteel Minicon was so fun and you're both so nice! I'm excited to see you both again. Mi'ch, you are incredible and don't forget it. Kendra, sometimes I just think of you and your offers to talk about stuff and it's...steadying. <3
Working with all of you continues to be an honor and a joy, and hanging out with you more so. On to non-staff!
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT THE BENES. @The Awakened Salad @Tesh ARE YOU GUYS READY TO BE DELUGED IN LOVE? I hope so because you're my best friends and more important to me than all the world. Specific compliments elude me when everything applies, so...reread our platonic wedding vows, kiss your pet, and know that you are the beaniest FAB Squad ever and I will never, ever forget you and our conversations and hangouts.
You are skilled, you are loved, you are interesting, and I will always listen to you. May dragons, avi.
To the many people I've met in-person at various times over the past year - I absolutely loved it, for the record, and you are as awesome as sour Skittles.
To those I've talked with after absences, I'm overjoyed to speak to you again. Special shoutout to @Ashspren - chatting with you on Discord has been great, Ash!
@Robin Sedai, I don't know you super well yet but you're really kind and I hope your life is going well. I always look forward to singing Hamilton with you
@Wyndlerunner beep. *boops your nose*
@#1 Taln Fan, you are awesome and amazing and funny and don't you ever let yourself forget it!
All of you reading this deserve individual statements, but I'm too tired to do something more elaborate - totally lost track of the days and wasn't writing this one in advance. No way I could keep up the giant lists forever, anyway. You all take care of yourselves, you do deserve it - and I know it's hard sometimes, or most of the time, but it will get better, I promise. No matter what. Keep hanging on.
I haven't been very active on the forums this past year. I mean, I've been on, but only about ~500 posts outside the games is telling. Still, despite that, I've had a grand time both here and on the server. I've graduated, gotten a job, and become a different person in many ways this year. I'm fairly happy with who I am now, which is nice, lol.
I won't apologize for this not being more ornate, I'm too tired. Knowing the lot of you is an adventure, and I never want to give that up.
*toasts you all with a glass of eggnog* Love ya. May this next year be better than this one, and with less hardships for those we love.

Inspired by @Szeth's Facepalm’s status update, I put a bunch of sharders into a Hunger Games simulator…
Spoiler
Turns out, Kaymyth is the most skilled Sharder when it comes to mortal combat. (Also sorry if I got someone’s gender wrong, I had to guess on several)
-
All those yearly Pumpkin Katana Baseball festivities have trained me well.

People of the Shard, what're your favorite piano pieces? Either to perform or simply to listen to?
-
This was Leia the dachshund's favorite piece. She loved it when I played it for her. She'd even sing if we played the recording, but she did prefer the live piano.

Kay, so there's this moderator who I haven't seen until recently but all of a sudden they're just everywhere. They seem cool and all, but I don't know who they are.
It's you. In case that wasn't clear. What's up?
-
I am She Who Was Declared Shardmom before I even got my staff spikes. And clearly, I am a pony, not a human.
But if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Or...you know, I bet I even have an old AMA thread on the AMA board, not that anyone's posted anything there in years.

In all seriousness, I've been around a while, but I was most active on the forums back from 2015-2017. Then RL work stress ate my brain.
I've been back active again for a couple years, but mostly on the Discord, and not much in the book discussion channels, but making a solid attempt at being Useful Staff (tm). Apparently it's working.

For real, though, petition to make this the new Rickroll.
-
Niiiice.
Ngl, I was half-expecting an actual rickroll out of that link.
-
-
I have been published!
And I have been drawn!
-
I began my JordanCon life as a humble potato, but with years of work I have grown into a mighty yam!

Sometimes, you need nice, soothing piano. Sometimes, you need Weird Al Yankovic.
Die, brain weasels. Die.

Get out your boots!
