Szeth's Facepalm

Hi guys!! I have 1000 posts now! This was going to be my 1000th, but i accidentally spent it on the theater kids thread. So this is 1001! To celebrate, I wanted to share some writing with you guys, and hopefully gain some feedback and critique? Feel free to be harsh, as long as it's constructive. I'd really like to get better To start, here's a short story I wrote during the shard's month of prompts (someone me didn't realize aes had already posted a prompt and posted another, thus resulting in the combination of these two prompts: "A hungry soul" and "The children are gone. Something is taking them."): Just an fyi, I'm not usually that dramatic in my writing. I wrote this one sleep deprived at three AM (when i am at my most profound lol) so please have mercy on it ;-; I wrote another one about chickens (also at three am) that was absolutely bizarre so i'm not going to share it. i honestly have no memory of even writing it, but when i woke up it was posted in the month of prompts thread, and when i read it through, i was mildly concerned. BUT ANYWAY Here's the main thing i wanted to share. It's a prologue, or first chapter, maybe, of something that has only been written in my head. By that i mean i haven't put anything down on paper for backstory, magic, plot, nothing except this. There is very little plan for where it's going, so if any of y'all liked it i thought it could be a sort of choose your own adventure thing? Though i do have a few specifics in mind. Also, don't expect particularly frequent updates, because unlike the fabulous @CalanoCorvus i am a very slow writer. (oh btw doomie pls read this stuff i wrote :333) No name yet... something circular, most likely. Ring. Hehe like the doorbell Alright... whatcha think? (you can be completely honest it's ok) Also, here's a list of other things i'm working on (though i don't have enough concrete writing to share yet): - A sort-of steampunk trilogy about an engineer who's discovered a way to produce insane amounts of power and needs to keep it away from a powerful gang, ft. her mildly evil super rich bff and her flight-obsessed head-in-the-clouds gf - a religious-fiction novella (but not the way you're thinking, probably- actually i might be misusing that genre name) about a girl whose life slowly but steadily descends into chaos after a new guy moves in across the street - a book about a group of people who live alone with chaotic, sometimes malevolent spirits, but something much bigger is going on that one of them- the one who was accidentally put in charge of communicating with the spirits when she was way to young- is starting to figure out - a book about a magic circus that is being disgustingly corrupted by a possessed ringmaster Which one(s) sounds the most interesting? (i can't promise immediate progress, of course. In fact, i can't promise any progress at all, really, but knowing one of them is particularly interesting to someone might inspire me to focus on it.)

Ya it's pretty sad and r rated. I pirated it on YouTube lol. But i was obsessed with the music before i watched it, it has so many bangers omg

Heathers Heathers Heathers Heathers Haha makes sense. Which of their musicals do you recommend? I'm trying to get more into musicals, as at this point I'm less of a theater kid and more of a theater enjoyer. The only musicals that i can sing most songs from on demand are Heathers and Hamilton lol

The 70s are one of my favorites so far :DD

What's that supposed 2 mean? I don't actually know that many Dear Evan Hanson songs, but all my friends loik it and Sincerely Me is an absolute banger. Why do you dislike it? (just curious)

LMAOOOO GUYS I WAs scrolling through one of my favorite Instagram accounts and they legitimately made the same raven cycle mini comic i did: this is so funny you guys. i got the format from a tweet, i've never seen this until right now, but we made the exact same thing LMAO. same characters, same basic gist (my words are a little different though). Here's mine (i posted it a while back on here): transcript (my handwriting is terrible i know ;-;):

Ahahah thank you :DDDD I love her too, she's my little baby and color would be amazing, if you feel like it. if not, graphite's cool too obvie

thankyouthankyouthanyou!!! Also just fyi i'd be ok if it took, like a year. Just to get a sense of my timeline, i just finished a piece for an art trade with my friend that we scheduled in December today ;-; If you could draw my doggo Papi that would be amazing!!!!! She is a very small yorkshire terrier (around 4 pounds lol. she's minuscule :3) Here are some pics: I wanna draw her so bad but i'm terrible at animals ;-; thanks so much Telrao!! you're amazing :DDDDDDD

Your cattos are so cute :OOO I'm curious, do you draw dogs? And if so, are you still accepting commissions?

I drew some Nightvale peeps :DDDD just a warning, all of them are sideways lol That's all :D

98 noooooooooooooo ;-; Edit:

i would read era two, Warbreaker, Elantris, DEFINITELY Emperor's Soul, and round it all out with some Arcanum Unbounded. If you want to read something non-cosmere, you should read The Rithmatists (one of his best, in my opinion).

@Morningtide @Cruciatus_heart guys i'm obsessed I made more ;-;

But why would you use anything else if you could use the superior thing that is bread?

So many shardbuddies :0000 one of which is me!!! nice colors, though i wish they were a bit more complimentary. Lotsa Frens/Yay!!!

i just got this one and i don't know why but i was crying laughing: Morningtide: Goshdarn it, the printer broke while printing out Facepalm's birthday invitations. Elf: Well, what are they supposed to say? Morningtide: "Facepalm's birthday". Elf: So, what do they say instead? Morningtide: "Facepalm’s bi". Elf: Elf: Works out either way. Alternatively: Facepalm: Goshdarn it, the printer broke while printing out Elf's birthday invitations. Morningtide: Well, what are they supposed to say? Facpalm: "Elf's birthday". Morningtide: So, what do they say instead? Facepalm: "Elf's bi". Morningtide: Morningtide: Works out either way. Edit: adding more
