The Invested Beard

Oldblood at this point. Seems appropriate.

For knowing that there is nothing to see here and moving along.

Love it. This has to be very close to the truth. Also, my favorite musical compositions are Requiems, which would be a form of Threnody. I think I have a new favorite (splintered) shard.

For succumbing to the powerful Beardspren suggestive powers and changing your forum title to forum bane.

I have written many. Maybe I'll start a poetry thread for those so inclined if there isn't one already.

For being the cheat.

And now, a random beat poem I wrote a looooong time ago about an ex. Because I'm bored and reasons. It is titled: She Must Be an Onion. She must be an onion Though she has no leaves of white I don't find her repugnant Her breath does not have bite She's not in soup She's odorless And onions don't have an adress But she must be an onion For when she passes by My eyes begin to fill with tears And I begin to cry. Thank you.

Ah yes. Much more appropriate.

Oh yeah totally I'm not saying it's inhumane or anything. I think it's just the combination of pug + costume. Like I said, no good reason. Some kind of subconscious higgledy-piggledy.

Thinking about whoever owns that dog stuffing it into that costume and...well something that I can't really put into words. Dogs in costumes make me uncomfortable for no good reason. Also I think the last pic link is broken. By the title I think I would enjoy it though.

Ah yes thank you. Like a salve of inanity. So I'm not sure but I think that depressed me more. It's the thought that counts though so thank you.

Quick someone post a random internet picture to cheer me up!

"You got Preservation in my Endowment!" "No you got Endowment in my Preservation!" Wait did I just date myself a bit to much?

Wait those are words?

I think most of the memes I used to find funny I only found funny because I was on drugs. Very seldom do I see something that actually tickles me these days. Then again maybe I just hate everything right now because of the virus from hell so don't take me too seriously.

I think while he would be good characterization-wise, Zachary Levi would be too old to play David. Maybe if we got a time machine and went back a decade or so yeah.

So far, very few of Creighton's movie adaptations were any good. For example one of my favorite books of all time, Sphere got butchered. Bad bad bad movie.

So can I just say being really sick as a married person with 3 kids is way way way crappier than when you're single or even married with no kids? Last week my 6 year old daughter comes down with a nasty virus. Wife and I think okay let's try and quarantine this. Yeah that totally worked. Wednesday night I come down with it. Nasty fever, body aches, chills and then over the course of a couple days turns into what feels like bronchitis. So I'm out of commission on Thursday, wife is trying to keep up with two sickies now. Thursday night, wife and 3 year old son get it. So now it's two sick adults trying to take care of two sick kids and a healthy 9 month old all weekend. Last night, 9 month old gets his fever. I'm at the tail end, still feeling crappy but back at work. Daughter is mostly better but still working on ear infection from the virus with antibiotics, 3 year old son still sick as a dog, wife still sick and developing a sinus infection because of the thing. Baby miserable. Good Lord I hate this. Rant over, sorry.

Maybe then he can explain how/why she got powers.

So Calamity's race is part of the Federation and follows the prime directive? Fascinating.

I think the Elantris thing is referring to the fact that Galladon is from the Elantris time period of Sel and is a member of the 17th Shard.

So from what I know Tony's is not spren. It may be similar to Nightblood as it was a normal beard that was somehow given sapience. Crane's? Definitely spren.

With the ending...Wouldn't it have been more thematically appropriate and fulfilling if Calamity had realized what he was doing was hurting people and messing them up and then leaving in a more dignified, repentant sort of way? Just spitballing... I mean that was the whole point right? You overcome your fear to help or save someone? Seems like a missed opportunity for full plot circle closure.

I thought he was more of an unelected dictator?
