  1. hehe

    it's my two year shardiversary

    would you look at that.

    i love you guys so much, and i love the cluster of friends i made over here, the hunger games really make my life so much more fun. Amyra Ay has left an imprint on me (name change? ookla the amyra? what do we think). all of my shardbuddies: i love you guys, really, you've made my time on the shard so much sweeter, and have been so supportive as i wrote new, different characters and just played around on various threads with y'all. you guys deserve shoutouts so here we go:

    @SymphonianBookworm you've been incredible. we know this. i couldn't have asked for a better irl friend. more will come tmw >:) but before we get to that, largest shoutout of them all for introducing me to the shard and all these people. i love you amazing amounts for everything. you're the best.

    @Morningtide thank you so so much for actually being so sweet and welcoming, i remember being incredibly stressed asking someone to be my shardbuddy for the first time and you were so friendly so thank you ❤️ 

    @Szeth's Facepalm where do i start. i cried when you left. you helped me so much through tough times and taught me so much. i aspire to be like you. i trusted you with everything, and you were always there to support me. i miss you an enormous amount and i will always remember our conversations. thank you.

    @Cinnamon a fellow theatre lover! being silly w you on the theatre kids thread and forum games & random stuff were some of the highlights of my day. (oh! and. you lost the game again). thank you for always being there with your outgoing, uplifting mood :P 

    @Shining Silhouette i miss you so much and can't wait for you to return from your mission! you're actually so freaking talented and it's been way too long. thank you for being one of my first followers and first DMs :D 

    @Elf ELF!! i was so happy when i became your shardbuddy because i look up to you so much and i'm always in awe of you. your style and personality is fabulous and i hope you always stay here ❤️ 

    @Edema Ruh oh my. how do i even-. okay. okay okay i can do this. eddie, i love you so much. thank you for everything. i love all our interactions through RP and DM, and your writing is heartwrenchingly beautiful. never stop the games. never stop the shard. thank you for being so loving and funny and excited to RP. i've loved each and every one of your characters, and most of all i am so thankful for meeting you. (ps Corin and Astra never would've worked out. maybe in the next RP :P )

    @SmilingPanda19 AAAAAA PANDAAAAAA you kept me on the shard and for that i am eternally grateful. i actually would've left had i not met you. look at how far we've come. from one, sleep deprived conversation to endless chats, laughs, and cries. i love you so much and i am so happy that we became friends because wow what an incredible human you are. from theatre to HG RP to love RP and more, every aspect of you is amazing. your support has helped me through so much, and i am so happy i was able to be there for you through the school year. you've always been so understanding and friendly, and i always have fun with you. i remember way back in the Houses RP, the excitement i had grinning from the back of my screen as we planned out the betrayal interactions between us. thank you so so much and i can't wait for more HG w you <33

    @Ancient Elantrian wow it's been a wild ride. thank you for always bringing interesting characters to the hunger games, even if some may be a LITTLE bit insane. i'll forever appreciate your presence here on the shard. and most of all, thank you for being my friend ❤️ 

    @shortcake SHORTIE it's been so fabulous getting to know you. i know it's been a rough few years, but i'm so glad you've found the time for the shard and i'm so happy to have befriended you. we made some epic writing together and i always enjoy hearing from you <33 thank you so much for being my shardbuddy :D 

    @Just-A-Stick YAY stick i'm so glad you joined the shard. thank you for being so friendly and reaching out to me so quickly ❤️ i love you so much!!!! keep being your amazing self, you inspire me every day:P

    @Part Of The Narrative THEATRE AGAIN! i will always appreciate your sense of humor and love of theatre <33 i am lucky to know you and have you here on the shard. i will always be grateful for you being my shardbuddy, and i can't wait to hear your next one-liner.

    @The Wandering Wizard Wizzyyyy we first became shardbuddies during ookla season. that was chaotic. but i truly look up to you and i love every moment spent with you. your welcoming, friendly personality balanced with pure empathy has helped me through a lot and i am so happy to be your friend <333 you are such an amazing person and i need you on the shard eternally. 

    @The Aspiring Archivist what an enigmatic human we have here. just kidding. i love you sm and couldn't have asked for a better conflicting love interest for Mae ❤️ thank you for keeping things exciting and always checking in with me :D i am so grateful for our friendship and AsPiRe to write like you (you see what i did there).

    @Weaver of Lights the man. the myth. the legend. i had SO MUCH fun role playing with Aaron during Smedry HG and i will always appreciate your willingness to work with plot and general friendliness. chatting with you was so entertaining and i admire your energy to keep writing and engaging with characters, it's incredible. thank you for being my shardbuddy ❤️ 

    @LightRinger i need you to come back, seriously. i am so sad that you're leaving, but i will always remember the fun times we spent together here on the shard. you're so fun to be around, so thank you thank you thank you for making long school days a bit more tolerable :P 

    HONARARY SHARBUDDIES: (for some reason i haven't asked you yet but you deserve a place here because you've made my life so much better too. also take this as a shardbuddy offer.) @Spark of Hope @Scars of Hathsin @J. Magi @The Bookwyrm @The Stormfather @TheRavenHasLanded @The Honorable One @Unintelligenius @Lord Spirit @Cash67 @RoyalBeeMage @Dragonheir @Experience + i might be missing people but you guys are such good writers and humans so thank you for being there in the HG w me and on the shard

    and that's all of 'em folks. i can't believe i'm only hitting the two year mark. there are so many incredible people on the shard (see above) and i love this place so much. so thank you everyone, and here's to many more years with y'all!!! :D 

    i'm also excited to meet new people on here and make new shardbuddies- hopefully by this time next year the list is longer <33

  7. ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    i feel so lucky to live in the era where these films are being created

    Here's one of my big theories (massive spoilers jsyk)

    Spoiler

    ok i think that Miguel is actually the prowler of his world. think ab it: 1. he doesn't actually have spider powers, he has to inject stuff into himself to be spidery. 2. he isn't spidery at all, his actual powers are, like, claws and teeth and stuff. prowler vibes? 3. he has a similar theme to uncle aron's. less "AHH RUN" and more "i am going to get you and there's nothing you can do about it." but similar nontheless. 4. he is similarly wrapped up in good and bad, like the other prowlers we know. uncle aron is a villain, but he's not evil. he wouldn't hurt miles, and he really loved him and helped him be himself. 42 Miles prowler- he is a villain, but he's miles. we know what a good person he is, despite whatever circumstances drove him to villainy. Miguel is a bit the inverse but still similar (and the inverse-ness fits with his faked spider powers). he thinks he is trying to keep the spider-verse world from falling apart, which is good, but he's also violent and angry and maybe not so good after all?

    anyway that's just my little theory that i think would be fun if it was true :)))

    i've had this on repeat all afternoon

    also if anyone makes a thread in entertainment to discuss across the spidy verse, tag me pls :3

    1. Szeth's Facepalm

      Szeth's Facepalm

      ty :DDD

      here's my one other little theory thing (not really a theory, idk what to call it):

      Spoiler

      ok so you know how the void thing was caused in Mumbattan because miles saved the police captain and the little girl? and how he disrupted a canon event in a different universe and that's why it started disintegrating? what if he finds out a way to save his dad in his own universe by himself? if he found a way to save his dad somehow without any help, then his universe wouldn't unravel, right? because there wouldn't have been interference form other universes. (except, y'know. miles. but idk whatever)

      because like Mile's thing is "anyone can wear the mask, anyone can be a hero, i make my own story" etc. while miguel is methodical and cold calculation and holding everything together and making sure canon events happen.

      idk it's not really a theory just maybe a path the plot might take? but i'm probably wrong ab this one and also it doesn't make a ton of sense so whatever

      oh also

      Spoiler

      im gonna write an essay ab uncle aaron and the prowler miles 42 and stuff because in the first movie there are a lot of clear signs that if miles had not been bitten, and hadn't become a spidy-man, he would have followed in uncle aarons footsteps and become a prowler or a villain. i always kind of discounted that aspect of the movie because i didn't see how it was relevant to the plot anymore but HOLY FRICK DUDE!!!!!!!!! as you may have noticed that is now an extremely relevant part of the plot and i happen to have a lot of free time cause y'know summer and i've never written a theme analysis essay about something that i was actually interested in so ye here we go

    HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!! 

    *happy nonbinary lesbian noises*

    to anyone who might be reading this who is gay, lesbian, bi, pan, omni, poly, ace, aroace, trans, enby, demigirl, demiboy, genderfluid or ANY other queer identity, out or not - i love you, i support you and i’m proud of you for being your true self. if you’re questioning, or still struggling with self-acceptance or acceptance from others, you will get there. it might take weeks, it might take years, but i believe in you. you deserve nothing but absolute support and acceptance from yourself and others around you. and if you’re not getting that, then i’m really sorry. but, and i can promise this, it will get better. you got this :))

    i also think i should take this opportunity to mention all the brave, strong queer people who came before us. without them, we would not have a month where we are free to be ourselves. we would not have civil rights laws protecting against homophobic discrimination. we would not have the incredible community that we have now. i will always be so, so grateful for every sacrifice they made so that i could be writing this post freely and without judgement.

    also - i’m not saying the system is perfect now. unfortunately, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and general discrimination against the queer community still happens, and i’m sure most LGBTQIA+ people on the Shard will have experienced it from someone, at some point in their lives. but we’re making progress, and we’re changing the way people view us, one glittery rainbow at a time. ✨  

    you are amazing, you are beautiful, you are valid as you are.

  12. Hello ladies and gentlemen.

    As you may recall, on the 12th I promised my beloved Luna, my moon and stars, that one day I would marry her. or, to be more funny (and also less funny and rather cringe) *ahem* "wife her up." (you may laugh, cry, or scold me now)

    Anyways.

    Tonight was our first date after this promise. We listened to music and danced for a bit, then took her dog on a walk.

    During said walk, we discussed the future.

    Our future.

    Here is what we discussed:

    Spoiler
    housing for the future:
    - victorian style house, renovation will most likely happen
    - big library instead of living room
    - no formal dining room
    - it’ll be in oregon, maybe salem
    - basement will be gaming area/snack bar
    - bay windows :)
    - open floor plan: wouldn’t want to have too many walls between each other now would we? gotta have those little moments where i just watch her do smth and then we smile at each other (i fantasize ab the little things)
     
    company in the house:
    - children yes: in her words, “this is not up to discussion.” good thing i agree
    - pets: def a dog, a big mountain dog most likely. maybe a cat. and we’ll domesticate the wild crows.
     
    other things:
    - she wants a garden and a music room. she’ll grow mint, other herbs, and maybe some fruits and veggies
    - im reconsidering a mission… would it be out of love?? probably. i could request a service mission, or the two of us could do an old couples mission in the future. idk, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

    if you have questions feel free to ask :]

      Szeth's Facepalm

      bro that's literally so sweet :] all your relationship SUs make me value mine so much more, because i can be careless with them but you remind me how important and precious they are.

      Quote

      yes, you have to go on a mission

      a mission is where boys become men, and do you think a woman like luna would want to marry a boy? not to mention the blessings you're given from a mission. heck, if my dad hadn't gone on a mission,  my mom probably wouldn't have married him, and BOOM, no me

      @TheAlpha929 dude my dad didn't go on a mission and he's the bishop of our ward ಠ_ಠ not that that's what i measure "manliness" by but maybe you do idk. No one *has* to go on a mission, missions don't necessarily turn anybody into men, no need to stress doomie out. He should do it because he thinks it's what will be best for him and the people he loves, not for any other reason.

      Also, funny story, if my dad HAD gone on a mission he wouldn't have met my mom, and BOOM, no me, so.... if there's a god up there it's path is different for everyone :/

  13. I’m a Two.

    That’s my personality type.

    I know some people may say, “Oh, that’s just something that people say in an effort to understand themselves, it’s too vague. Personality is a broad yet specific thing, you can’t define it.”

    That’s the biggest load of crap I’ve ever heard.

    A Two is someone who cares.

    Someone who loves.

    Someone who serves.

    Someone who cries with you.

    Someone who cries for you.

    Someone who’s there for you to cry on.

    Someone who won’t leave.

    Someone who’s me.

    I’m a Two, and I have two hearts.

    One for me, and one for everybody else.

    My heart beats slowly, softly, with just enough love that I don’t hate myself unless I get in a really low spot.

    My other heart, the one for everyone else, beats powerfully, loudly, with a love that aims to fix everyone's problems.

    I hate to see people in pain. I hate to see people cry. I hate to see people love, and then be broken by love.

    I hate it. I hate it so much.

    They don’t deserve it, they never ever do.

    They deserve love, not heartbreak. They deserve peace, not pain. They deserve warmth, not cold.

    If I could always have a sign that says, “Hey, if you’re having a hard time, ask me for a hug or some consoling words,” I would.

    I would love to be able to help everyone. Even strangers.

    Especially strangers. You never know what someone else might be going through.

    And the opportunity to help someone else, to let them feel love, peace, and warmth, is incredible to me.

    My heart beats softly, and people say, “Oh, don’t forget to take breaks from helping others, and help yourself.”

    But helping people is what helps me.

    When my other heart beats hard for people, my heart beats a bit louder, a bit stronger, for myself.

    I love helping others. It makes me feel important. It makes me feel whole, and it makes me feel love.

    I love, love, love making sure others smile. Genuinely smile.

    Please smile.

    Please know you’re loved.

    Please know you’re strong.

    Please believe in yourself.

    Please know that you can do this, that this is just a bump in the road.

  16. I feel like such a mess right now. I'm sad and angry and confused and I don't know what else. I'm gonna have to not be on the shard for the summer and it's so sad. I don't want to have to say goodbye, even if it's just for a few months. It doesn't help that they took my phone for an undetermined amount of time, so I can't even talk to anyone else. I don't want to lose the friends I've made on here. I don't want to feel alone again, even though I'm almost always surrounded by people. This is probably my last day, I might be able to get on tomorrow, but probably not. I guess I just want to say goodbye. Thanks for being my friends everyone.

  17. I am considering changing my signature. I've had that signature since I learned how to set them and I've been adding links every since...

    But I feel like it looks, like...

    Bad.

    The colors don't mix particularly well and I'm also running out of space. 

    I'm also just growing bored of it.

    I don't know... I could always change the message and keep the theme of links while also making the colors fit nicer.

    Any suggestions for what I should do?

      oop sorry it took me so long to reply. He does sort of crazy 80's style electronic? his music is a little insane, i think he has what you would call a cult-following (sorry if i'm using that term wrong ahahaha i don't really know what it means). i personally eat sleep and breath his stuff but it is bat-sh t so be warned lmao. it's super catchy!! all of his songs just scratch my brain. 

      wait. do you know potter puppet pals? like the viral video with the harry potter puppets singing about their names, and there's a mysterious ticking noise and stuff? that's the guy behind lemon demon.

      if you don't, DO NOT LOOK IT UP I SWEAR

      but if you do, that's lemon demon lmao. that song is from his most insane album, nature tapes. most of his music is not like that ahahahaha

  22. I am so bored of my music right now. Does anyone have any good recommendations

    Book recommendations too.

     

    Also, how do you guys do a status update on a phone? Cause I have been on my phone sometimes and I was going to do a SU but I don't know how.

      PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THE LOCKED TOMB SERIES BY TAMSYN MUIR. It'a about lesbian necromancers in space. Absolutely god-teir. The magic system is possibly better then a sanderson one and the creativity is unmatched. The plot is absolutely wild and the lqbtq+ rep is excellent.

      I have no one to talk to about it and i'm shriveling up on the inside ;-; the first one is called Gideon the Ninth if you're interested.

  23. Just beat my latest BotW file in preparation of TotK. Those Ganon fights are... way too easy - even with Jelli the Idiot Horse as your loyal steed. I hope Zombiedorf is harder.
