  1. For it was Someone’s third cousin twice removed’s head.
  2. My struggles with mental illness have been mild compared to others(very mild), but I have had a few with anxiety in the past. Social anxiety has always been a struggle for me, and due to happenings earlier in my life, I was moved up to an education level where I was about the same learning standard--and in some cases, still ahead--as my peers but was younger than literally everyone in my grade. I'm glad it happened, but the decision brought with it the challenge of increased anxiety. It's a challenge I rarely discuss with anyone--even my family and closest friends--because of fear that perhaps the idea that I'm younger than everyone else would cause people to perhaps treat me differently. I struggled with this through all of junior high, and I still do in high school. But something's changed since I came across the Shard. There's a stigma, I believe, around communication over technology: it's no replacement for face-to-face communication. (I don't do well with sorting out and expressing the thoughts in my head, so bear with me.) I agree with the sentiment on a certain level, but I feel that there are incredible benefits to communicating through technology. Because of the Shard, I've become more accustomed to talking to and meeting new people. It's helped me become a more social person. And above all, I am now able to share my feelings and struggles without overwhelming fear. Though you may not have known you were helping me, I give thanks to everyone on the Shard, and in the Alleyverse especially. You have quite possibly saved me, and I am eternally grateful for it. All those who are struggling with mental health, please know that you are not alone. Look for help. I promise you will find it, even in the most unexpected places.

  6. A little known fact about the Illuminati was that...
  7. Through the power of bold, Narrator Aquilla’s post was overwritten.

  9. The only books I’ve read recently that I consider as good as Sanderson’s are Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicle and The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.
  10. I declare @Truthless of Shinovar's signature 10/10. That is quite the extensive Alleyverse character power description.
  11. I really enjoyed Five Kingdoms(for the most part).
  12. I honestly don’t mind the inconsistency. An improvement is an improvement.
  13. The mimes fell to their knees, bowing down and worshiping Narrator Master of Silence.
