STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE BOOK FIVE PREVIEW INTERLUDE!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

(spoilers for that)

(I'm serious, do not look ahead until you've listened to it.)

(I'm serious)

THEY'RE BACK!
Demoux, Baon and Galladen! Our third favorite trio! (Shallan, Adolin and Kaladin take trump over this one. As does Dalinar, Kaladin and Shallan).

ALSO, um, BIG IMPLICATATIONS!
CUSICESH!!!!!

WOW

Then there's also the fact that some kind of feruchemist came to them, though I want to think it's Khriss for some reason, though it could be Axindweth.

Then there's the fact that this is a sequel to both Ym's and that one fisherman dude's interludes.. that means we'll be getting more interlude sequels!!!!!! YOOOOO!!!

I am, indeed, looking forward to the book even more now-

Wow.

Just

WOW!!!!

Me trying to stop my Alexa.

My Alexa just keeps playing the revenge of the Sith soundtrack:

An SU in three parts. (And, perhaps, a sneaky fourth bit)

First, as some of you might know, I was sick from the moment I woke up on Sunday morning. Thankfully, today I have gotten better. Hurray!

Second, I rewatched the Revenge of the Sith during this time and, wow, I think it's way better than I originally thought it was. Such a good movie, though Natalie Portman's acting makes me want to barf, as does George's writing for any scene she's in except "So freedom dies, with thunderous applause."

Third...

...

Sorry @Edema Rue

I have quit reading the Kingkiller Chronicles officially.

I love Kvothe, I love Sim, I love Will, I love the Archives, I love Auri, I... don't love Denna, I love the music, I love Ambrose vs Kvothe stuff, I love it.

It's the fact that I noticed in the past few days that I've been swearing in my head a lot. The books have a lot of swearing in them, unfortunately. As I don't want to get into that habit and there are a good bit of dirty jokes that I don't want in my life besides finding them absolutely hillarious and giggling at them.

*sad sigh*

Now... for that final fourth thing... I'm still deciding, but I might take a break from the Shard and my computer for a few days during Thanksgiving break. We'll see. I won't have much time to be on here during that anyways, but we'll see.

Cya!

Being sick sucks.

A lot.

It feels like I'm being stabbed repeatedly.

oh my gosh.

There's a book called Davian's Deception. It was a horrible book, not done well at all in the details, though the arcs are quite fun.

It's the first book in a series that was never continued.

And yet...

I feel like a movie version of it would work so well. More well in this climate in Hollywood than a lot of people might think.

Just imagine a cross between The Princess Bride, Inception and Game of Thrones. That would be a phenomenal film.

I want to try out writing a screenplay now. Like really give it a go. I want to be writing that, two mini stories and my novel.

All at once.

I think, with it all, it will revitalize my writing. 

maybe, if I write it, I can track down the author and give him the idea like "Hey, buddy, here's my version of your lousy book. Wanna help me make a movie?" Or, something like that...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

WHERE ARE YOU, YOU AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!

Hey, this is an odd status update. This is just me kinda venting about something. If you want to read that part, go ahead after this little bit. If you don't, that's fine. I'll put the non-venting bit at the front, then the rest after that.

Neil Gaiman. Writer. 

He has an amazing voice. His voice is like opening up one of those movie copies of Lord of the Rings. Not one of those nice ones, not one of those tall ones. No, one of the small paperback ones with Frodo on the cover. His voice is like smelling one of those books, the cheap paper and ink and all... the smell of stories. Now, take that smell and the sound of logs crackling in a fire place... Then you have his voice. And then the way he talks about writing is so loving, so frank, so crystalline, so honest. Without having read one of his books, I think Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite authors merely for all the above. Oh, and because he sued his publisher. And because he looks like a combination of Tony Hale and Lin Manuel Miranda (two fun individuals.)

Now, last night, after listening to a few interviews with him in it because I love hearing his voice, I looked up an audio book narrated by him. His own book. I listened to the first little bit and had a few thoughts. "Wonderful voice" was one. "Wow, the description is phenomenal." Then "Mmmmm, good characterization." And then, "I wonder what happens next?"

Then I thought "Why the actual storms am I liking this horror novel that opens with a guy trying to kill a baby?"

So there's that...

Anyone have any suggestions for books of his that aren't horror and, preferably, don't have anything inappropriate in them? Such as sex scenes, nudity, inappropriate jokes (that's minor, though. I can live with a few "no, I won't let you look at my spheres, Sadeas" kinda things.), etc. 

I reeeeaaaaaly wanna read one of his books

Do y'all ever have things just keep showing up in your mind even though it's been like a year or so since it happened, since it all finished?

*sigh*

It's just so hard to forget something when it was you who defended someone, you who talked to them, you  who was their biggest ally. 

And then you find out that everyone was right about that someone and you were dead wrong.

It's been a good while since all the drama of it faded away. I still remember it crystal clear. That horrifying realization that I was so wrong about her. 

So storming wrong.

just ugh.

That experience did, however, teach me a lot about the fact that you just can't trust everyone. It's good to trust people you've known. It's good to trust friends and family.

Trusting someone who everyone says has done wrong things, even though they haven't done it in your presence...

I recommend doing your research a lot more. 

And, if someone asks you about an ongoing drama, please don't withhold information. Please don't be super cagey about what happened. People need to know about it. Don't just go on and on about the minutiae and little things, get to the point and add on those smaller things after. And don't argue with and bash on the person asking simply because their opinion on the events are different. They don't know the same things.

Simple as that.

So many mistakes have been made in regards to the person.

I regret every one of them.

I regret ever saying that I was her friend. I regret getting people to help me defend her. I regret it all so much. It three or four other instances have forever made my trust for people online evaporate like water in an oven (this doesn't really apply on here. Y'all have given me reasons to trust y'all and this really is not the same place as the rest of the internet. I trust a lot of you and dearly love you. This community is the most trustworthy area on the internet, I think.).

Don't accidentally trust pedophile stalkers, it turns out.

Not a good experience. Not good for your mental health directly after you find out the truth.

I love y'all on the Shard. This place is so much better than any other online platform I've been on. Please, please, please don't waste the fact that almost every person on here is great, that every single person has a good personality.

Anyways, I've rambled on for long enough. I gotta go do some school. Cya!

I have a new favorite word.

Mephistophelian.
