  1. "I win..." said the one after TLPW gets shut down. "But at what cost?"
  2. My gosh-

    Birthday parties are so much fun!

    I went to a friend's one tonight. I've known him for like 6-8 years now, though there was a four year gap where I didn't see him at all. I got to see a guy who I haven't seen in four years there! Like AHHHH. I got to quote him with the thing that he said once that stuck with me all these years lol.

    Everyone there understood all the references, the studio c ones, the Star Wars ones, the church ones, the Disney ones... OH! And we watched the Princess Bride!

    This was the kind of thing I needed to lift my spirits up higher.

    Also, I have a dire question...

    What do you do when there are two girls you know who both are into books, both are cute, both get all the references and just are awesome? 

    Actually, I'll most likely just not do anything about it besides try to be friendly and have conversations when new books come out and throw around banter like at the party tonight-

    That works, right?

     

    One laaaast thing.

    Anybody wann'a peanut?

  3. XD True though.. We guys think we're super clear and logical, but... we're not, especially when it comes to these things...
  4. But what about when girls are confusing, confuzzling, baffling, and hard to understand because you don't understand what's supposed to be blatant hints?
  5. Darkness nodded, "That is good. Farewell, Xyr." "Ahhh! Nameless... back from the dead? So soon... Want a drink?" Darkness snapped his fingers, a cup appearing in his left hand, he offered it to Nameless. "After all, we're all friends here..." His sarcasm seemed almost innocent. almost, but with a hint that betrayed it all blatantly. He observed Nameless, looking for changes in him. As he did, he felt exhaustingly tired. His long journey would end, someday, in TLT as it had began. It was depressing to think that he would eventually die. Would he come back like Nameless? He hoped not. To be resurrected time and time again seemed even more exhausting than living as long as he was. His time was, in the end, short. His plans would, most likely, fail. But, Darkness thought, they can't fault me from trying to get what I feel I need in the end. It was the most natural desire in a being with a mind, Darkness knew, to seek something that they, for some intrinsic reason, wanted. Some instinct drove everyone to do something, to try and get something. It was their nature. He knew the narrative reason, without motivation, most characters become bland. But what was the real reason? Darkness had thought about it time and time again, going over it. Why did they seek something? Why not just sit and think... it was time, he'd concluded several times. The concept of time was so visceral in beings, though not quite so brutal in his own mind. It drove them to things, it made them feel progress through time. It made them have a sense of time going by faster. The alcohol poured down his throat, warming it pleasantly. He couldn't get drunk, unfortunately. He'd discovered that years ago. Darkness straightened in his seat, cold calculation taking over, "Tell me, Nameless, why are you back? What are you here for? To kill me? I doubt that, otherwise you would've moved by now. Then again, this new incarnation of you may be different than how you were before. Or," Darkness said, his lips twitching, "perhaps, you are here to see what kind of enemy you will be facing." Darkness licked his lips, all emotion leaving his face, leaving behind eyes that seemed to take in everything, seemed to see the world exactly as it was. "Do not lie when you answer me, Narrator. I know those tricks and they will not fool me, in the end." He had a sip of his drink mechanically, setting it down. His mind was filled with the serenity that only a mad man could muster in a moment like this. For that was what he was, in the end. A mad man with just enough of his mind to perform a semblance of sanity for the crowds. His act would break someday and they would all see him for who he truly was on the inside, his true motivations and desires. It wouldn't break yet, not for a while longer. He couldn't worry about what would take a long time to happen. Instead, he had a show to perform, and he would perform it to the top of his ability.
  6. "I know how, but I will not do it. I will not tell you my purpose, for there is the chance that we may be enemies, for as I know your goal, I know that it would run afoul to my plans and mine to yours." Darkness said, as if compromising their opinions on pizza flavors. "I do not think that an alliance between us would, in the end, be profitable." Darkness knew that everything he did was dangerous here, this being could be deadly to his plans... but it would work out. It always did. At least partially.
  7. Darkness snapped his fingers, an identical scotch appearing in Xyr's hand, "What is my Intent? To reveal it to you would be to reveal it to everyone. It is not the time to do so."
  8. "Hard pass," Darkness said, having a sip of his seemingly never ending scotch, "My goals aren't for this system. What I do here is only prep for my greater purpose."
  9. "By 'this world' you mean TLT?" Darkness asked, seeking to avoid any manipulation by wording.
  10. Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons is, objectively, a good song.

    The stripped version is even better.

    But there is one version of the song that I would call the greatest version.

    It isn't a complete version of the song, it isn't polished, it doesn't have amazing audio, but...

    It's perfect.

    It's full of emotion, to me at least.

    The main song writer and singer of Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds, posted an acoustic version of the song in 2021. He made it in his home.

    Trust me, this song... just give it a listen.

    This song brought me to tears yesterday, thinking about a lot of different things. Even if y'all don't like this song at all, it's very, very, very good. It may not be super special on the outside, but it's not about that. It's about... the message... *joker* 

    Anyways, I need to go do school.

      I'll listen to it when I get a minute!

      Mmm...school...good luck!!

      Good luck with school! That is in fact an amazing song!!

  11. What about a Mistborn spy or revolutionary?
  12. "I would like to ally with you, but there is only one land I want. TLT. I am sorry, Xyr, but we cannot have an alliance. Instead," Darkness said, "I propose that we have a kind of treaty where we won't get in the other's way until we absolutely need to."
  13. Ushwanahanori slapped Albadoree and Doboradi stabbed Balbadore. Somehow.
  14. Made this and thought I'd share it
  15. Not-abalador was kicked out by the guards promptly. As was Abalador and any other listeners. Even Rlain.
  16. "Quite a life story," Darkness said wryly. "You want void, you say? Void for the universe or for yourself? Or, perhaps, for someone else in specific."
  17. School is difficult and annoying.

    I think I've mentioned it before, but I've been doing homeschool my entire life. This year has just been a worse year than all the others before and Idk if I can really get productivity up again because it's just been super demanding and there's a lot I have to get done. In the end, I may just do it part time at a public school. Like, I'll do the two subjects that are really being annoying, history and science, there in the mornings then do the easier and actually fun subjects, language arts and math, in the afternoons.

    For my mental health, sanity, physical health, etc. this might be necessary. 

    I want to keep doing homeschool, but life is too short to get all that I need to get done in the next few years- Considering my track record, I might just put everything off until it's too late...

    *sigh* I have to learn how to be responsible and focus. 

    Any advice for focusing? I've tried music a lot, but it both has and hasn't helped.

      What’s your favorite era???

      Focus...ugh. The best thing is to have nothing that could possibly distract you nearby, and in this day and age that doesn't work. Rewards help sometimes, and sometimes having someone to be accountable to does also. 

      ...but then again, I've been home from school for almost 4 hours and I haven't done any of the things I'm supposed to be doing. So...I don't know.

      History is fun!!

      The Napoleonic is one I'm fond of. The Roman Empire is fun, Greek classical too...

      In the end, I do think I'll have to go with the Napoleonic era.
