Hey, so I finally finished TWOK! I can't start Oathbringer yet though.  Anyways, it made me really want to learn how to draw, and was wondering if y'all could give me any tips on drawing. Especially humans and animals because I am bad at drawing limbs.

Status: super happy and cannot stop smiling 

Also hi I'm back

So I'm just going about my day. I decide to look up Rise of the Guardians fanfic (TIL that it was a book series first; might have to check those out). I'm using AO3's wonderful handy-dandy filters to narrow my search down from the shockingly large amount that came up. And I see an...unexpected ship listed.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I claim you all as my platonic Valentines, so there. I love you all dearly and if mailing things wasn't expensive, I'd mail you all treats.

Except for Truth who I'm claiming as my non-platonic Valentine - every day is a Happy Day with you. I love you.

*groups hugs everyone except the people who don't like hugs* You're not alone, this day or any other! Ene is here to be a friend if you need one! I love you all!

One of my chickens just died. 
A neighborhood cat snuck into the coop and ripped its head off. 
I will be leaving the Shard, maybe permanently. Because of many reasons. Bye. I love y’all. 

I was testing my new desk layout, and I drew my Fellowship characters!  I think the pencil came through pretty well.  This isn't exactly how they look, but it's an idea.

I was gonna draw Martin drawing a rune, but I for some reason was thinking in monochrome and colored the scars black.

A note, the black ink on Martin's jacket is where he's ripped patches off.

I'm doing my science homework right now and...

@forget me not, meet everyone:

@Channelknight Fadran, @Condensation, @Mist, @Vapor, @Ookla the Hemalurgic Pinto, @DramaQueen, @EmiTheNinja, @Tesh, @Hentient, @revelryintheart, @Scarletfox, @Dannex, @Bearer of all agonies, @HoidWasTaken, @Negative_Null, @FriarFritz, @Spock, @Knight of Iron, @Shard of Thought, @Ghanderflaffle, @Chasmgoat, @Spren of Kindness, @Rosharan A.C., @Darkfinder, @AnyoneElseIForgot, meet @forget me not!

Hey'all, imma be out for a good portion of tomorrow doing a test that I do not want to fail.

PSAT, babey. Fingers crossed. Wish me luck!

Welp, my Shardiversary snuck up on me this year, so I didn’t have enough time to make any art, I hope you’ll forgive me. (I might come up with something later though) However, I did have plenty of time to write up some words that I hope are meaningful.

Two years, man. Honestly, that sounds way too short. Waaaaay too much has happened in that time for it to only have been two years. Huge strides in planning Keyed with @xinoehp512, getting so much better at my art that it’s mind-blowing, being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and cyclic vomiting syndrome, getting into yoga, going from middle school to high school, and ya know, everything having to do with that little global pandemic, maybe you heard about it. I won’t lie, the last year has been incredibly hard for me. I’ve had some of the lowest lows I can remember… but also some of the highest highs, like getting to meet up with @Butt Ad Venture in the summer and having such a blast with Inktober. But ya know, one thing I have learned this year is that times when you’re the most broken down are the times that you get to connect the deepest with other people. Kinda personal, I suppose, but for most of my life I’ve been in the role of helping other people. And this year… this year that got reversed. And it felt good. Really good. So now it’s my turn to thank you guys for that.  

First I gotta shout out @xinoehp512. I know I tell you this all the time, but you mean more to me than you could possibly know and nobody in the world could possibly replace you. Each word you say is precious to me and getting to know you this past year has been a magical adventure. All the hugs, my buddy.  

Second, @Butt Ad Venture. You are a handful and it is honestly a miracle that we are still friends after all our ups and downs. But through it all, I have been amazed at your ability to apologize and, more importantly, to forgive. Stars know I don’t deserve a good amount of that forgiveness. You’ve grown so much since I met you and I am immensely proud of that growth. Your heart and soul are among the most precious I have ever had the privilege of getting to know. 

@AonEne, I have no idea how we had such a rocky start, but it has been a joy to get to know you. Thanks again for the notebooks, for the emotional support, and for your unwavering, yet gentle and kind personality. The world needs more people like you. 

It’s quite the incredible experience to get to know someone so jarringly similar to yourself and for me, that’s @Jaywalk. You are a riot and a gem; your writing, your humor, and your personality are *chef’s kiss* I know this year has been hard for you and while I cannot promise that anything will get better, I can promise that my heart goes out to you and that you WILL get through this. You’re stronger than you think and you’re amazing. All the hugs for you, too. 

@BringerofShadows, I miss talking with you so much. Whatever you’re up to nowadays, I hope you’re not overworked and that you keep a little snark and magic in your pocket. I love your unapologetic personality and massive presence and wish you well. 

@AonDii, keep being your fabulous self. I said on the yearbook thread that you can do anything and I really believe that’s true. I mean seriously, the real question is what CAN’T you do. You cook like a boss, you fence, you play the double bass, you do rainbow loom stuff, and read epic fantasy??? Bruh. You’re awesome. (Like you need to be told that ) 

@I Don't Know I miss you so much and I hope I can see your face soon. I’m so glad that we’ve been able to keep in touch even though you’ve moved away. You are a wonderful friend. 

@Truthless of Shinovar and @Rosharan A.C. you are the most dynamic duo ever. Keep being excellent, keep bringing your energy to everything. 

@Lunamor you’re great. I nominated you for Most Likely To Brighten Your Day for the yearbook (as well as Friendliest Sharder I think????) and I totally stand by that. You are an icon.  

@Nathrangking you are just about the most earnest person I know. I’m so glad you’re on the Shard.

@Condensation, @Channelknight Fadran, @Hentient, @Matrim's Dice, @Mist, @Bearer of all agonies, and @revelryintheart. Y’all are the new kids and I haven’t gotten to know you guys very well. But from what I have seen…

Connie, you are incredibly positive and fun to be around. I’m so glad you like Crime and Punishment as much as I do. 

Fadran, I know you deny compliments often, but trust me. The moment I met you, I was like, “... Dang, yeah, I can see why this dude is as popular as he’s become.” You are absolutely hilarious and you have a very unique vibe. I’m not sure how to describe it, but I’m sure people would agree with me.  

Hentient, your bright, enthusiastic energy is dangerously contagious. If you’re not careful, you could cure someone’s depression.  

Matrim (and @Tesh) it was so fun to make Secret Santa gifts for you. Previously, making art for gifts wasn’t really something I did but this year I saw how happy it made people and that was a super gratifying experience.

Mist, I love the dynamic you have with your sisters. I remember when I first saw your usernames, they were all on the “recently browsing” of a thread I was reading and I thought, Wow, what a funny coincidence. Knowing you’re all sisters is so bliving awesome. But aside from that, I love being a mod with you on the LDS server and I’ll never forget how friendly you were to me the first time we talked. 

Bearer, I love the work you’ve done on the yearbook and I’m so glad you’re part of the Oakenwey RP. (same with you, @Lecky Twig, I am so freaking happy that RP has taken off and your character is so fun )

And finally Rev, your art is incredible and so are you.

WHOOOO, that was a lot. Happy new year, everyone! Thank you for tolerating me, I love you all.  

Here we go

What do y'all think? Apparently Omer Tunc made this picture, I think it's pretty epic.

I blew my own mind for a hot second

I am trying to be responsible today. If you see me on at any time, yell at me.

I decided to do an Ookla name. (Finally)

Help I'm already confused. By my own name. Oops.

I need some advice.

I'm sure you all know about my history teacher at this point. (And how I've recommended Sanderson to him and stuff.)

Today during the announcements he came up to me with a sticky note that said "Mistborn?" on it. (Which, for some reason, I find hilarious.) He asked if that was a good one to start with, and then we had to do the pledge before I could answer.

After class I went up to him with my friend who has read tWoK and tFE, and we talked about the books and the Cosmere for a few minutes. (I think I got really repetitive in what I was saying, but that's besides the point.)

The issue with this is that I got a copy of tWoK that I was going to give him. But I don't know how to give it to him at this point without it being really weird. 

And I don't want another copy of tWoK. I already have three (hardcover, mass market, audiobook) and I don't know what I'd do with a fourth.

So I, the socially awkward bookworm, am asking for help. I'm very likely over complicating it, but when Sanderson books are involved, there is no room for error.

Thanks.

Kaladin says hi, by the way. (He's very aggressively making clicking noises at the laptop right now.) (He just said "Hi bird," too.)

Yes, YES. I just got my hold on (no, don't get excited, it's not RoW) Mistborn. Why did I get that on hold? Because I am now going to try a little fanfic and I need it as a reference. So, how many are interested in reading it when I finish?

QUEEEN! Come here, please!

QUEEEN! Come here, please!

Hey everyone, what can I do on my 1000 post? 

Wow! Apparently I hit sixty followers. 

Cool.

Thanks, guys! 

That's sixty one people who get notifications whenever I post one of these...

*evil laughter*

Can you tell it's really late here again? 

27 days until RoW!

I'll attach a picture of this thing I made with some brush pen things I stole from my sister. This is the extent of my artistic ability. The picture is poor quality, as I took it on my Kindle, which is probably about five years old at this point. Why'd i make it? I dunno. It looks kinda cool, though, I think.

Oh, and I'm planning on submitting a short story to an anthology in December. I haven't written it yet (and NaNoWriMo and RoW are going to make it difficult to squeeze in), but when I do, would any of you be willing to offer some feedback? It'll be less than 6,000 words. I got into this anthology last year, and it'd be great to do it again.
