YOU GUYS. IT’S BEEN A YEAR. A WHOLE YEAR.
Every so often this past month my brain has been gently reminding me “it’s your Shardiversary soon!”, but now that I’m actually here I can’t believe it. I still feel like it was yesterday when I timidly posted an intro thread and found myself gravitating over to the Forum Games and Community side of the Shard, where I’ve stayed for most of my time here. Since then I’ve *wins*ed, rambled (often incoherently), joined RPs (which either died or I had to leave, whoops) and honestly stumbled across such a wonderful community to be a part of.
To the forum games crew, you guys never fail to make me smile! I love going on adventures with you, granting boons and banes, and all of the general randomness that happens along the way.
To anyone I’ve ever RPed with, you’re awesome and thank you for being patient with someone who had/still has no idea what they’re doing
. This site is full of amazing storytellers and I’m so glad that I’m able to write with you all.
And finally, thank you. Yes, you reading this. For making this community such a great one to be in. Whenever I’m in need of a laugh, a fun conversation, or a virtual hug, I know where to come.

QuoteMost of my thoughts are just a keyboard smash if I’m being honest
“oh hey a uno game” “NOPE, IT’S BLOODSHED TIME”
Okay this makes me feel immensely better because most times I’m thinking “jdswjeidjd i’M bOtHerInG eNe”
You remember! *happy Salad noises*
I’m flattered that you still remember Rip it or Ship it
. I’m glad you enjoyed it, even though I feel guilty about it dying.
Okay that’s the best thing I’ve ever read in my life because YES, may I quote that?
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh I remember that, that was amazing.
That’s how I feel with like half the people in the world, so trust me, you are never a bother, you are one of my best friends and I love you, so there, anxiety.
Of course I remember! It was cool! And we were in sync with N!!
Okay, it was looking super fun though. I wonder if we could get it going again, maybe with timing changes because I think that’s what killed it last time? Idk. But I’m seconding Mist, that was Not your fault!
Sorry for taking a few days, it got lost in the notifications.

If I become less busy, then I’d love to try and restart it, with some changes and feedback!

I cannot escape the pull of this website

You can wean yourself off of here if it's interfering with your daily life or having a negative effect on you. It happens *shrugs*

It’s not so much that it’s interfering with my daily life, it’s that whenever I anticipate me not being able to get on the Shard that much, I somehow manage to make time for it anyway... That being said, I have been posting less.

Nah I was joking that 1234 was satisfying while it lasted, like 666. *sigh* if only SU had quotes...

Ooh, I love it when numbers do that

Hello person visiting my profile!
I don't know if anyone reads these, but I'll leave this here.
I'm going to be a bit inactive for the next couple of weeks (though I mostly lurk anyway so it's not really that much of a problem?). I'll still be around, but I probably won't log on every day.
So it'll be like my usual lurking levels x2
.

Here’s the fic I was talking about in an earlier status update, if anyone wants to read it!
-
Heck yes!

Hey Truthless, Emi and I were discussing continuing our RP from The Fellowship of the Thing, so would you be interested in being part of it again as well?
-
I am hereby changing my “I am gone from an indefinite period of time” status to “I don’t really know what’s going on, sorry for any confusion/if I was misleading, I’m around but with reduced activity” status.

Ya, don't worry about it. Real life comes first, and no one blames you for trying to figure some things out.

I came to a realisation.
My location has always been “At the end of the rainbow” which makes sense now because you pushed me down!!!

I don’t know if anyone’s interested, but I’m taking a break from the Shard. This isn’t a decision I’ve made lightly, but I’ve deemed it necessary. I plan to return, but I can’t say when.
While I won’t go into the details of why, know that it’s not because of the community. You guys were actually the strongest point against me leaving, because I didn’t want to say goodbye. But, unfortunately, the other reasons outweigh this one.
So this is farewell, but hopefully not forever. This place, and all of the memories I’ve made, the people I’ve met, will stay in my thoughts.
Hope to see you again soon.

Noooo, Salad!
bye I’m waiting for your return *extremly sad noises*

Oh man! I think I’m too late to say goodbye. Well, I’m gonna say it anyway. Bye Salad!! Hopefully we’ll see you again.

I don’t know when this happened, but @AonEne I’m an Enefel! *trips you*

I had a dream the other night that I tried to log into the Shard but it came up with one of those prove you’re not a robot things, and I had to click all the boxes with sidewalks, but there were no sidewalks in the picture. So after I failed that it came up with the message You are a robot. You have been denied access to The 17th Shard, so I emailed the Shard and they said “well, we can’t do anything but here’s a coupon for a cruise to Scadrial” so umm the moral of the story is that all the inactive Sharders are actually on Scadrial?

Since it’s supposed to be a punishment for bots, I’m guessing pre Catacendre? I’d happily go on a cruise to post Catacendre Scadrial too
wait what if Scadrial is a bot prison and the characters are bots...

I just glanced at your interests while looking at a status update and YOU HAVE A DOG?? Can we see photos?

I went out and took more pictures because the world needs doggo pics, they’re not top quality photos, but they are a good boy

*teleports to your house and snuggles him*
I will probably randomly stop by your AMA on occasion to ask about him
-
I’m always happy to fangirl about him! And yes, good, he doesn’t like my snuggles so hopefully he likes yours
-
I love your Ookla name and pfp! Abra’s awesome
-
Thanks!
I’m not a huge Pokémon fan, but Abra is what first popped into my head when I thought of doing telekinetic, and it sounded fun so I went with it. And I like yours too, your picture’s really cool!
