Question to the world: right at the top of where it says Recent Profile Visitors, it has a number of views. Is that time amount of times you yourself have looked profile?

Apparently there were two somethings of yours I hadn't upvoted yet. So I did.

Congrats on becoming an Ardent!

I've been hearing more and more people, IRL and on the Shard, admit to having problems during the last half-year or so of my life. Bad ones. From depression, self-hate, and wanting to die to anxiety and not having friends. There's a lot I could say on this topic, but I'll just say this.

Talk to someone. You are wanted; you are loved. Even if you can't tell, even if it seems like no one is there, know that we are here. There will always be someone here. I would also count God, but I know many of you aren't religious - for those of you who are, your deity(ies) is/are there for you. For those of you who don't believe, there's still someone.

If anyone ever needs to talk about ANYTHING, say it on this status message, or PM me. No matter how bad it is in comparison to anyone else's issue. No matter how trivial you see it as being, or how crippling, I will be there. And I think I'm pretty accurate when I say that I am in no way alone in being there. We're all there; we're all HERE, for you.

We will be your torches in the dark. We will be the driftwood keeping you afloat. We will talk with you. We can dispense virtual hugs (EMOJI NEEDED, RIGHT?), advice, roleplay opportunities (it's therapeutic and doctors can fight me).

We will always be there. Always, for ANYONE, for any reason.

Always here, here always. < World's Worst Ketek...but possibly, in its own way, a very good one.

Always.

HEY HUMAN BEINGS OF THE SHARD:

An actual status update from Ene, rather than just her saying stuff she can't on the forums? This is madness! But it's also what I've got for you today.

From tomorrow afternoon to sometime Sunday, I will probably not have Shard access. I'm not certain. I'm going to Bear Lake, as a friend (who may or may not want me to disclose who they are) has invited me. So, well, at best hardly anything will happen. At worst, the bridal shower, another Alleyverse war, five assassinations, major disasters in half the RPs, and all the ships will happen while I'm gone. Which, I mean, none of that is really NEW - disasters, pshh, old news.

Point being, I'll be back Sunday. I might be able to get on tomorrow morning too. Until then, try not to go too much crazier than y'all already are.

*salutes* Keep calm and write on!

I recommend reading the Nightwatcher thread before this.

Ap, I'll forget about this End person if you forget about Galladon. (I blame the Nightwatcher! I wasn't even there!)

Also, thanks. I'm glad you like the name. I was worried that it was silly when I first proposed it.

Ashspren, don't tell him. (SORRY AP. SECRETS.)

Does anyone want to post in my name on the "what you're known for" thread - since that sounds awesome? Since Ink's already been done...is there protocol for this? What do "I" say?

And out of nowhere...

I'm a Sentient Awakened Object. On your level now, Clearcut!

Thanks, everyone who gave me upvotes. I'm saving a giant mushy you-all-rock-and-the-Shard-has-changed-my-life for my one year anniversary (I haven't even been here a year yet? Wow, feels like so long and yet so little at the same time...), but again, thanks.

CELEBRATION TIME COME ON!

Master Ki is that one person in the Skybreakers.
