Some of you might have noticed it's been a while since I've drawn anything. I've been experiencing an intense bout of artist's block and it has me wanting to rip up my art. (I feel you, @More Cynical Than Funny) I don't know what to do, it's been a month and I have nothing. Every time I put a pencil to paper, I feel like a worthless individual and can't create anything at all. I tried to draw today after a few weeks of a hiatus, but by the end, I couldn't look at my art without wanting to cry and now I want to hurt myself, it's just... it's a mess. It's a real mess.

It is time! Today marks 2 years on the shard for me and in that time I have met so many amazing people.at first I was hesitant, but now I know that the people on this website are some of the best people in the world. This beautiful haven has such a great community and I am truly blessed to be a part of it.

I normally don’t name names in this type of thing because I don’t want to leave anyone out, but there's a few people I really need to mention.

@AonEne you are an amazing person. From day one you were welcoming and supportive, even if we barely knew each other (because I was scared of you). I now know you are kind, funny, and astonishingly good at modding. 

@Lunamor you might’ve been the very first person on here to really try to get to know me. I first met you on TLT of course and found you super funny. You are still the same person the overwhelmed little freshmen first latched on to and I love you for it.

@Truthless of Shinovar what can I say about you? You can be @Frustration at times, but I a really weird way. You are fantastic and wonderful, but I will never forgive you for making me miss ookla season last year. 

@Shard of Reading @I Am A Fish @DramaQueen @hoiditthroughthegrapevine @Condensation and @Matrim's Dice have all been incredibly supportive as well with my mediocre art in my inktober thread (I’m cheating on today's, I want it to be beautiful) to my sometimes annoyed posts in CCRB you all are fantastic.

It really blows my mind that people like what I have to say and offer here. At school I’ve never been a popular kid. I’ve always been the awkward one in the corner who gets rebuffed when they try to join conversations. Many of you have been there too, and I think that's why we have such a supportive community. We know what other go through, because we've been through it. Not everyone was the awkward kid, but those kool kidz are just as amazing. It's astonishing to me the fact that I was top of the week for like 3 days in a row. I thank you all for that.

I know I’ve missed people, but just know that everyone is appreciated, loved, and thanked by me. (Especially those who deal with me when I get grumpy in roast battles). It's probably been the best two years of my life and I hope to see many more.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much.

The Platonic dice

So, I've had an idea for high-level background characters in the Ripheus story, who I am for now referring to as the Advocate and the Opponent. These are two people playing an eternal dice game. This is an avatar of the Game Itself, which is a moral reality, so if the Platonic solids have a metaphysical relationship to the making of fair dice, let's say that the dice the Advocate and Opponent are using are those solids and hence are known as the Platonic dice.

Now, some other miscellaneous phrases:

1. The isoarchic transet. The set of the Key-sets, in which the Key-sets are not ranked except overall against their power-set. The consequence of the isoset function.
2. Isoplectic crystal. A crystal with an infinite number of n-dimensional external facets, each corresponding to one n-simplex, with no n-simplex being reiterated.
3. Seleplex artifexium. A component of the Keyscape. "Seleplex" is short for "selector function x-plex." Made of the three unique icositridimensional crystals located in the 23-dimensional demiplane of the 24-dimensional plenum (in the conjugate infinitely expansive universe thereof), the 23D-demiplane of the aleph.zero-dimensional plenum, and the 23D-demiplane of the aleph.24-dimensional plenum. Allows each aleph-dimensional object for each level of the set aleph.(1 ... 23) in the aleph.24-dimensional plenum, to be keyed to an arbitrary aleph.n number. The 23 keyed numbers are used in the transet computation performed by the Keyscape ("transfinite algebra"). Since which of the aleph.n numbers is keyed for, is decided by free will, they are referred to as "selected" according to the Second Axiom of Choice.
4. Chaotic hypoplex. Always-changing transdimensional crystal keyed by an artifexium function to random aleph.n numbers. When conjoined to the seleplex artifexium, it can be used to change the flow of energy through an isoplectic crystal array, to transpose the noumenal power of the Keyscape into the 24-fold multiverse overall. The day of the Final Power's advent was determined (outside of particular epistemic space) by a computation from the value of the chaotic hypoplex.

Hang on a sec. You linked my sounds of silence parody as your current favorite parody? Thanks, man! I might take you up on your challenge to expand it. I actually like Silence, so I figured I'd have to rewrite the entire song to a more positive tone if I posted it in the musical thread.
