    Thaidakar grinned as the other Drilks fell to his daggers. Fire burned from those deadly blades, consuming their corpses until nothing remained. Thaidakar dusted off his suit, pulling a lighter out of his pocket and a cigar made of beef sticks. He turned the lighter on, something soapy coming from it. He dipped the cigar in the soap, putting the tube back into his mouth. Bubbles start floating up from the odd brown thing that people like to suck on randomly. Thaidakar personally didn't get it why people liked cigars, but he loved to blow bubbles while chewing on a beef stick. The pain in his foot grew and grew, but he was used to pain. You had to be used to pain in... The narrator shook his head, murmuring to himself, "Not thinking about that today..." With pain leaking into his body, threatening to send Thaidakar into flashbacks, the pompous fool strode off, whistling merrily as he chewed on a beefstick, bubbles floating behind him. Shadow grinned, "I suddenly want to win this game."

    Hello motha- *a voice crackles onto the radio* This program his been cancelled for fake swearing. Come in next time for Thaidakar's terribly done apology/not an apology video. I don't know why I did that- it just felt like the perfect opening. I do not belong here, but I have invaded. All hail the great and mysterious Stranger. I will give you no context for that whatsoever. Someone tried to make me belong here, but I promptly said no because they're a creep who I've known for a few years and is far younger than me and immediately asked me if I wanted to do something I really do not want to do until I'm married. So that's a good reason... Anyways, THAIDAKAR OUT! Don't sue me for this weird post, please. I'm still dealing with the time Hoid sued me for slapping Kelsier when Hoid wanted to.

    Why is it that 11 pm is the time when writing really clicks. I really don't get it.

      That is very very true. For me its 2 am. I legit pulled out the keyboard and went. "Alright- writing time lets go-"

    "I'm going to bet some ancient coins from a different canon," Shadow stated, setting down several weatherworn gold coins on the ground. Micheal withdrew a small package and set it down, "I will bet this." Shadow raised an eyebrow, "And what exactly is that?" "You'll see," Micheal said lightly.
  5. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Granted, you read a horribly written book called "The Next Best Thing" by Barry Unkind. I wish for the entire planet named earth that I inhabit currently to have peace and harmony through all mankind, with no war, no tension, no conflict, no battle, no dissension, no murder, no crime...
  6. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Thaidakar flipped impossibly high into the air, grinning, power trailing off of him, the tip of the dagger barely scratching his foot. He landed behind the Drilks, narrating eight daggers into existence in the air. He waves his hand with flourish, two going to each Drilk. "Ah, characters? That's an interesting thing to bet with..." Shadow said, smiling softly. "I once bet Micheal's child, I won. Good thing too, or Micheal and Lindy would have..." Noting Micheal's expression, Shadow silenced himself. Micheal was taking the loss of his family hard, which was completely understandable.

    First, I want to call my story "Magic is Undeniably, Illogically and Unfortunately Real." What do y'all think of that title? It's a bit long, but it has a charming, whimsical feel that I'm going for.

    Second, I made this meme about being asked about my book.

      What about:

      "MAGIC:

      Undeniably, Illogically, and Unfortunately Real"

    3. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      oooh. If I had any rep to give, I would give it to you.

      I'll keep it in mind, though the main point isn't the fact that Magic is in the title, it's more about the way it's said in relation to how the protag talks about their life in their thoughts and words. But I really love what you've suggested. It just really depends on how much I focus on magic during the book. 

      Hmm... if I do make that the title, I could make an acronym. "M.A.G.I.C." Mystically Accurate Gamut of Information of artful Crafts... Eh, it needs some work, but ah well.

    4. Shining Silhouette

      Shining Silhouette

      I like the acronym idea!!

    "We don't have to bet the first round," Micheal said. Before Micheal could say more, Shadow interjected, "He's trying to get you comfortable so he can nick all your money in a clever, yet cheating, move later on." Micheal shot Shadow an affronted look, "I would never-" Shadow interrupted once more, "You even cheated against Thaidakar when he was Adonalsium." "Thaidakar had it coming to him, though..." Micheal grinned, glancing at his cards once more. Thaidakar moves like lightning, grabbing Drilk's wrist and twisting him, using his own force to propel him across the room and into a distant wall, the dagger missing its mark entirely.
  10. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    "Ah, but there is something new," Micheal said, dealing her a hand. "What's new is your experience playing 21!" "Micheal cheats at it," Shadow said contentedly, sitting down too. "It's simple..." Shadow goes on to explain the rules, something like this for example.
  11. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    You know when you have a random idea and you think "This would be waaaay better than the book I'm working on right now... it would stretch me as a writer while also showing what makes my writing good."

    Meanwhile, your pile of ideas "But... what about me?" Your book, walking up grumpily, hordes of others behind it, all holding weapons, "Give us your time so you can write not very good characters."

    The new idea that I had, I started writing and... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

    I wanna show off the not even a page that I have so far to show that I am not insane and that I do not have a lack of skill...

    Anywho, y'all wanna read what I have so far? (I accidentally put "Where's Wally" in it... I realized while I was eating dinner that it's "Where's Waldo" I have alienated half of my brain by writing that. and, yes, I'm aware that in other places it is Wally, but I'm in America, so there)

    The world likes spectacle, something grand, something impossible.

    Especially something impossible, I’ve found in my experiments. The world loves to tear apart the illusion, trying to find the fabrication in the impossibility they have been shown. Many of these are found to simply be, on close inspection, just that, a smart fabrication. 

    And, yet, there are other instances that boggle the mind, that truly cause wonder and… horror. There are these impossible feats that can only be described as magic that make the foundations of the world shake, that defeat the logical conclusions of the wise and the boring tendencies of the narrow minded.

    Without explanation, impossibility becomes something horrifying, something earth-shattering. If it has no logical explanation, the wisdom enriched mind wonders, then is my world, my life, my very existence, a lie? They wonder, and ponder, think, and research until it comes upon one of two conclusions, though sometimes both. (A third option can appear, but the chances of orangutans manipulating humans through small bugs in their minds is so far fetched as to cause a person such as I to look at whomever suggests it to me with a glance that says “Do you need help in the mental department, my good friend?” I would know, I’ve heard it and suggested it many times. You’d be surprised at the statistics, I’m sure)

    It is either an unrevealed science, something that has been hidden by functional but untrue methods or it is purely illogical magic.

    And the latter option terrifies to the point of paralysis. 

    Many become entranced in a state of pure horror at this option, ready to fall back into the ignorant state of being they begin to think was their life before. They begin to search and search and search even more for an answer, not finding one, but still searching for some logical conclusion to tell them they aren’t going insane or are suddenly, for no apparent reason, the protagonist of a novel filled with half-baked conspiracy theories.

    Magic, they decide, is real, despite how ridiculous it sounds.

    It is spectacles like these that really bring the world together in trying to explain it. Many propose elaborate, ridiculously untrue theories, others give the cowardly explanation that it was somehow edited with cgi, even if they saw it with their very own eyes right in front of them. 

    It is the puzzle that everyone is seeking the missing piece to. But, they simply can’t find it. It’s as if Waldo was removed from the largest “Where’s Waldo” page in the world. But the real answer is that Waldo’s caricature was on the other side of the paper, there the whole time exactly where they were looking, but only to be seen if you looked the right way.

    I hope you like it. And if you don't...

    *evil grin while holding up a knife I found in the kitchen* I have ways to persuade you*

     

    *For legal reasons˜, this is completely a joke, there is no reason to run for your life whatsoever.

    ˜Those legal reasons are known to cause cancer in the state of California. Juuuuuuust warning you.

      I used to and occasionally think about it, but after reading the Silmarillion several times, I've kinda just ruined how I see punctuation forever... My gosh, Silmarillion desperately needs to be given a punctuation edit...

      Unless Silmarillion has perfect punctuation and I'm just backwards, but that's me-

    The inclination to say this "We can't leave without help... We have to wait till a Narrator from a different Author decides to pull us out, for some reason," Shadow said with a sigh. "And, only then, if that Narrator doesn't come here. If they do, another Narrator has to do the job and so on." "Sounds convenient," Micheal said sarcastically. "In the meantime, I brought a deck of Mistborn cards, comes with the care package Thaidakar tried to get out for a good while for all the characters his Author put out. It didn't end well when he tried to have a Christmas postcard in one... Spook rallied the other characters, avatars, etc. and burned them all in a massive bonfire..." Micheal grinned. "I must say, it was fun seeing Thaidakar's expression..." He fished in his pocket for the deck, finally lifting it into the air, "Wanna play 21?"
  13. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    True, I suppose. But even already asked questions can glean more information.
  14. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    "The Narrator themselves doesn't even know, their Author removed it from their head for continuity's sake," Shadow stated, still gazing out at the infinite nothing. "But the person who found the loophole... There was once a being who injected the very fiber of their essence, their very thoughts, hopes, dreams, nightmares... voice... The Author went insane and the character, the being, was given free reign over the Author's soul, slowly becoming more and more real, until..." Shadow shivered. "They and their author have been erased from history, only the shadow of a memory remains." Micheal listened with interest, "What was the character's name?" Shadow stood silently, letting the question hang in the air for a long time before saying, "Only a shadow of a memory of who they were, who they once were, who their Author was, remains... Remember, nothing is truly impossible in TLT. Not even full crossovers..." Shadow looked wistful. "They are not who you think, nor were they who you thought, but they were very real, and I would rather they remain in the past... darkness only lies in what their ideas could bring to TLT."
  15. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    True, but simply making a thread for the streams would be a better solution, locking it afterward. People can ask the question on the other forums, get an answer if one is there, and, if not, can save it for the next spoiler stream.
  16. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    "You forget what thread we're in," Shadow said dryly. "Nothing and everything is impossible, it depends on the person. Someone very powerful found a way to exploit loopholes in a way that should not be uttered by anyone. For, if it were revealed..." Shadow shook his head. "The Narrators were cleverly manipulated into falling into a trap, a trap that would unravel them and cripple their Author's reach into TLT. It was a time I'd rather not see again. The enemy was only defeated by quick wit and some clever Narration." Thaidakar didn't fall for it a second time. He caught the second sandal, just in time to slam it into Drilk's legs, throwing him aside as if he were a piece of straw. The narrator stood, whistling and striding towards Drink. "Assassination attempt, eh?" The Narrator tossed the sandal into the air, catching it and twirling it through his fingers, "Good weapons."
  17. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    A wide tendril of water emerged from a small hole in the Narrator's stylized suit of armor, forming a shield in front of the lightning. The water simultaneously slammed into Fadran's sword, conducting the electricity into the sword, and, therefore, into Fadran. Thaidakar's armor took the slash, leaving a faint trickle of blood, however most of it was taken by the powerfully crafted armor.
  18. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    Shadow gazed at the space with horrified wonder, "This is What-Could've-Been." He sounded wistful, "This is what could've happened if... a few certain events went differently. The removal and presentation of this outcome has been erased forever, but..." Shadow shook his head, "I will never forget how many people were unravelled and how much of TLT was changed... I am the only one, besides one or two other people, who remembers it."
  19. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    Thaidakar paced back and forth on the stage, the crowd starting to drain out. Spook had addressed them a few minutes ago, stating that he would do his best to have all the avatars be given better living conditions and more of a say in what their Narrator participated in. The lad had done a rather good job in Thaidakar's opinion, he'd learned from one of the best after all. Most of the characters wanted Spook in the position Thaidakar was in the process of giving him. Shame they hadn't liked him in the position of Narrator... Ah well, you can't have everything in the world. He sat down on the ledge, deep in thought, when, quite suddenly, a sandal smacked him in the face. "Hi Curious," Micheal said dryly. Shadow looked around, their surroundings a plane of pure blankness, an unused canvas, an expanse of absence of all being. "Well, this is the last place I want to be..."

    I know... I know I posted just a few hours ago... and a few hours before that...

    But Ben Barnes in Prince Caspian is Walmart Aragorn.

    Daniel Greene called Ben Barnes that without realizing it- My life is complete.

    Again, I love Daniel Greene's videos, I want to track him down and give him a hug even though I know we would dislike each other at least mildly if we learned more about each other...

    Happy Birthday!

  24. Thaidakar the Ghostblood
    *grins* My gosh, have I got the songs for you? (warning, they're basically all by Welshly Arms, but they're so good-) Sanctuary -Welshly Arms for when you want Elend and Vin romance, more specifically in WoA. One More Hallelujah - Welshly Arms, the very last chapter of HoA when all the insanity is happening. I imagined a whole animated sequence from HoA while listening to this earlier today and I had goosebumps. If only I was an animator... The Only - (You guessed it) Welshly Arms. Kelsier. Need I say more? Goliath - Wood kid. For in WoA when Vin and Zane are attacking the keep. I think it works waaaay too well. And that's all for now.
  25. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

    mmmmmm

    I'm in the mood.

    Listening to Daniel Greene roast bookshelves while organizing my own shelves- 

    I am is happy.

    After this I'm going to go outside and listen to music while wondering how the fricking heck (before you ask, it's personal preference that I don't cuss when other people do) I managed to put SO MUCH personality into my role-play while my actual book is kinda just like " 'Oof, I just go hit' " or "He stood there, gazing at the tapestry, feeling... angry." AHHHHH Like what the actual frick happened here. I decided to start writing again and my brain is like "Whoops, skill just went down the drain... ah well."

    *sigh*

    But, yes, I am having a lot of fun. I promise I'll respond to TLT and other things eventually...

      I am still figuring out where the rusts I'm gonna put some more books since I decided that showing off my lovely covers would be fun to do. I got 8 books looking for a home on shelves- hmm... this'll take awhile longer than I thought... mmm... or maybe it's just the fact that I love listening to Daniel Greene yelling at people through their shelf choices.

      SmilingPanda19

      I'm the same way don't worry. My brain when I'm in roleplay is a whole new mode over here compared to my writing. You kind of just got to rewire your brain to not only fill in the holes that other people left in the roleplay but create them yourself. It takes some time to do though. 

    4. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Yeah, I get too used to doing that.
