How's everyone doing?
Tell me one hard thing from this year, and two good things :))
For me, I had a hard time managing my time and actually having time for myself, so I got pretty burnt out at times.
But two good things are:
1: I've been in four shows this year, and they've all been super fun, and I've made a ton of progress in my acting both in those shows and in my classes!
2: I've gotten closer with my cohort, closer with some of my other friends, and been able to keep in touch with the friends that I'm now kinda far away from!
-
One hard thing: depression persists
Two good things: Moving and being independent as an adult has been amazing and also I started anti-depressants which are the most amazing thing that exists and have changed my life.

Hello my dear friends for the first time in a long time. I just finished Yumi: the Nightmare Painter, and I am in shambles. Literal shambles. I cannot. Keep going. In my life. Without. Sharing. With. Someone. Who. Understands.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tears have been shed. Only two other pieces of media have ever brought me to tears before: Way of Kings and Nimona.
I cannot with this book. My whole body has been tense for the last three hours as I've finished the sanderlanche. My body surges with emotion and sadness and happiness and shock and oh my freaking gosh what the hecc just happened.
In other news - did we change some fonts around here? woah.
-
Why do I do this to myself?
- I have to work on my dissertation;
- I have to get the Genesis 1 post completed for the General Religious discussions thread, including the chart;
- I have to message several people, as well as finish a debate with someone online;
- I have to work on one of my Stormlight theories to post here - though I might do a Cosmere or Mistborn theory instead - that list isn't going to shrink itself, and it also has the unfortunate tendency to grow;
- I have to update my journal (not a Planescape reference) for what happened over the last week;
- I have to fill out the June Edit log for my writing, and update the internal links and list of the contents in the weekly logs for the end of May;
- I have to complete the post about my meta-setting to post in the Creator's Corner;
- I have to finish that bloody short story (and finish the outlines for at least two of the novels);
-
I have to make more silly videos for my niece and nephew (I take my uncle duties seriously)
- on that note, I need to learn more magic tricks for them;
- I have to clean my workspace and room;
- I have to organise my files and clear up space;
- I have to finish rereading 1 and 2 Samuel, along with the associated commentaries;
- (I have certain elements of my personal life to get in order);
- I have to go to bed before midnight and try to actually be asleep before 03:00 am;
- ... I have to stop putting so many things on the plate, or at least prioritise them better;
- I needed to get that off my chest.
... So, how is your week going?
-
oooof, yeah I feel that - so much going on at once for me too!! You got this, friend!

So ummm………..
I’ve been inactive lately but there is a reason.
SpoilerI STARTED WATCHING STRANGER THINGS!!!!!!!!!!
I decided that I should go and watch it. So I did. And I watched the entire first season in a day. Then I slowed myself down, and started watching two-ish episodes a day. So, in the time I would normally be on the shard I’ve been watching it and texting my friends who enjoy the show as well.
SpoilerWhen I mean obsessed I mean almost to a Brandon Sanderson level obsession. Which is scary…
I just started the fourth season last night and it’s super goooooood!!!

the minecraft credits poem is just.....*chef's kiss*
if you havent read it, do so, immediately
dont look it up though, play the game, beat the ender dragon
earn it
it is the most amazing poem
very few written works have ever brought me to tears. RoW is one. This poem is another.
and it comes from a heccin block game.
Spoilerbtw just beat minecraft on PC for time, if you couldnt tell.
also did you know that Brando Sando almost wrote the poem
they approached him to do it way back when and he turned them downi'm glad he did tbh because i can't imagine it being any better than it already is.
but crazy that that could have happened -
ah
coffee, waffles, economics, and violins. Today is starting good
(plus im getting two new books today )

Ugh... thirty-four notifs? I'm not going through all those. I'll just click the important ones.
(I.E: "Mystic Syn commented on Sketches on the Bus, Because Syn Gets Bored Easily.")
((I can navigate to the RP subform plenty well by myself, thank you very much))
But anyways, I'm back! Hi! Just returned from the bestestestestestest days EVER. I guess I have to tell you guys allllllll about them:
SpoilerDay One:
I went to school as usual last Friday, 'cept there was one minor difference: my mom picked me up after rather than having me take the bus.
We drove to the airport. I was, like, an hour early. That much wasn't super fun.
Got on the plane. Bear in mind that I hadn't flown in almost ten years at this point, so it was pretty much a novel experience for me. I've got a nasty fear of heights... but it was lotsa fun anyways! I was grinning like a fool at all the turbulence.
[Cue Fadran staring out the window for an hour and a half]
I touch down in Salt Lake City. Use the restroom, take a swig... the usual. (SLC airport is BIG. I had to walk, like, fifty miles just to get to the baggage area).
Guess who's there?
SpoilerCue hugs! SO MANY HUGS! I HUGGED MY QUEEN!!!!
We go to her house.
That's right, y'all: I stayed with DramaQueen for a few days.
And it was AMAZING.
Kay, but... gotta back up a bit. She's gonna show me to the room I'm staying in (one of her brother's. She has a bunch who're all outta the house by now). It's downstairs in the basement. I'm poppin' down the steps, when suddenly--
"SURPRISE!!!!!"
Spoiler@Vapor @Condensation @AonEne @Hen
SpoilerYeah, for some reason Hentient was there. Just... randomly. Not that I'm complaining.
(She's tall. And scary. And tall).
First surprise birthday party WITH SHARDER FRENS!!!! We had pizza and cake and ice cream and I got SO many presents (enough that my suitcase weighed at least fifty times more on the way back). There were hugs and laughs and weird pictures.
We went and hung out outside, vibin' in the grass and stealing my hats and such. I climbed a tree with Queen.
SpoilerI didn't even break my leg, if ya know what I mean.
After everyone left, Queen and I just cuddled on a hammock for what might've been eternity. It was a little chilly, so we just held each other and looked up at the stars and grinned a lot. 'Twas amazing
Day Two:
Saturday was State Solo and Ensemble (basically just a really fancy "all us singers gotta sing" event). I got to hear lots of folks play the vocal cord--including my lovely Queen (who has the voice of not one but two angels, btw). I met some of her friends, and became pretty chummy with a number of them before we went to leave for the daydate.
Oh, did I mention that I'd flown out to go to prom with her?
Yeah, that was the whole idea.
Day date: Laser tag! As establishments go, it was pretty crummy... but y'know? I shot Queen a few times. So it was worth. And after that we teamed up a bit to shoot someone else! So it was double worth!
Then we went back home and got dressed. It took me about ten minutes 'cause I was going slow (and for some reason, while I'm perfectly capable of tying a bowtie, it turns out that it's physically impossible for me to use a clip-on??? It's like my piano curse all over again!)... and it took Queen about five years.
Then she strode downstairs, and...
Hrm.
So, y'know that old expression, "my jaw hit the floor"? Yeah, that's... that's insufficient. The floor isn't good enough.
Y'know that other old expression, "one teaspoon of a neutron star would weigh for billion tons"? That means that the surfaces of a neutron star are dense enough to have literally anything float on top: even though they're made of scudding plasma. And that's just the surface: I haven't even mentioned the core.
All this to say, of course, that my jaw could've sliced through a dozen of those suckers without so much as a scratch.
Gods, I wish I could show every singe picture I have of her... she was SO GORGEOUS. She had this lovely Disney-like dress and glittery makeup and a tiara and... guys, she looked like a queen.
My Queen.
Should I skip the prom itself? Like, what happened there? (It was mostly just a lot of PDA).
But... so y'all know how I have some nasty anxiety sometimes? Usually dances and such are really triggering because they're so loud and flashy and there's so many people and also nobody likes me so I'm always lonely
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut for this dance, I had my Queen. I was all worried that I'd freak out and hate all of it and it'd be a horrible time... but with my Queen in my arms, it was just... well, wonderful.
Amazing
Afterparty was at someone's super-rich grandma's house. We all vibed in the hot tub ('cept for some crazy people who decided to yeet themselves into the pool... at midnight. Queen was one of these people... I was not. I do not wish to die).
Maybe I should mention that I'd forgotten to bring swim trunks, so I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the hot tub.
[Go read the last line of "Percy Jackson: The Battle of the Labrynth."]
Day Three:
Alas, all good things must come to a close. After going to church with Queen's family and hanging out for a few more hours after that, I had to finally pack up and leave. Her dad was driving, so we cuddled in the back seat for the last minutes we had together. Then I got up to leave and we hugged one last time and...
Guys, it was wonderful.
It was just wonderful.
I cried at the airport terminal. I miss her so much.
Thanks, all, for giving me this wonderful community... and thanks, all, for giving me the chance to meet the most wonderful lass the entire world could ever offer.

thanks for the follow
may i ask after the reasoning tho? as I don't think we've ever interacted on the shard before
-
(Oop, just saw this)
also looking back, realizing that randomly following people is kind of creepy, my apologies xDIt feels odd to say, but I'm a bit of a lurker on the Shard these days, I don't quite have the time to invest into it like I used to (though hopefully that will change soon), so I generally come on every couple days/weeks or so and check on my friends' status updates... If I remember correctly, I believe I saw some of your responses to said status updates and was curious, and I noticed a few people I know/used to know were following you and I thought, 'this looks like a cool person, I shall follow them too'

thinking of getting a tattoo what should i get
probably just a long-lasting temporary one but idk i'm crazy

Do you ever just rage because you finally got to level 30 enchantment points then you die on the way to the Enchanting table?
I haven’t played that world in Minecraft since.
SpoilerIt’s been 24 hrs ish.

Things I am:
- In a scud ton of pain
- Generally suffering
- Having anxiety attacks
Things I am not:
- Caoable of swallowing
- With my friends
- Okay

I'm sorry you're in pain, and this is tough. It really sucks. If I could magically zap all the pain away I absolutely would in a heart beat, but I can't, and you can't, nobody can. But we can give you virtual hugs, we can send you words of encouragement, we can know without a shadow of a doubt that the sun will shine, some day, it just might not be today, and that's okay.

Hey, you.
Yeah, you: The one that clicked on the notification and is reading this, or somehow found your way to my profile.
I just wanted to let you know that you are doing great. I know life is rough. I know how stress is weighing down on you, and things in life are not helping that, but the fact that you're still here––pressing on, even if it's a little bit at a time––is saying a lot.
You are never, ever alone. It might feel like it right now, but I'm here for you. You might not know me well or at all, but I will always be here to listen. I just don't want you to feel alone. I know that it can seem like you are, especially when you're surrounded by people, but there are people who will always be by your side.
It's okay to feel emotions. It's okay to cry. We all have those times when we're most vulnerable, and you don't have to go through it alone. The people who love you are not going to watch you suffer alone; all you have to do is ask, and they will be there to help.
I love you, okay? I'm not just saying that. I really do. I know it feels like no one loves you, but trust me when I say that I do. Now, go out. Be you. Laugh when you're happy. Listen when people need to talk to you. Let yourself cry when it's hard, but do not let yourself remain in that state forever. I know it's hard to get yourself out of that, but there are people who care about you and will help you.
Stay strong~ <3

Wow. That was exactly what I needed at this moment. Thanks Syn <3

Done with big project that took up all of my time! AAAAAAAAAAGH!
*exhales*
so anyway, While I was screwing around looking at memes instead of doing my homework I found this meme. This meme filled me with such profound joy, like I was infused with the sun.
SpoilerMe and my brother decided that Frodo-synthesis is when Frodo (Elijah Wood) experiences things, then the energy is converted and is sent out through his eyebrows.
SpoilerSee! These are examples of Frodo using Frodo-synthesis. (Just look at those eyebrows! Am I right!? His Eyebrows are doing most of the acting. ;P )
-
I laughed far too hard at Frodo-synthesis-
