  1. I am aware. I'm on desktop, which means that it can't interpret the new iPhone emoji code. It's the shards version of these
  2. She takes a sip of her iced latte. "I'm paid minimum wage. Plus. They're going for you, not me. I think it's pretty easy to follow instructions."
  3. Sasha sighs, and pets the one she put in the jar. "Settle down. You'll all be reanimated eventually."
  4. She grabs her AirPods and turns on noise canceling. She's listening to Rush by Troy Sivan.
  5. Sasha shrugs, and goes down to reanimation. She puts down her dunks Iced Matcha Latte with 13 flavor shots on the desk and gets to work. She grabs a cube, and a soul jar and plops it in.
  6. "just checking. I like to be sure."
  7. "Like the make-up?" Sasha rolls her eyes. I look at the Necronomicon @SpiritOfWrath And flip to chapter 2 How to do your job: On-boarding and training! Part 3, Reanimation.
  8. "isn't this place outside of time?" Sasha says dryly. "So what do you want me to do?"
  9. "Mh. I see. Are we inside a giant intestine?"
  10. So I'm playing a Wheel of Time TTRPG game, play by post, and a running gag is how much of a freak RJ is. If you're not aware, Robert Jordan, the original author of the Wheel of Time, has a fascinating habit of writing... how to put this nicely... interesting things in WOT. If you've read WOT, you know what I mean. *Cough* What do you mean RJ you grow out of being a lesbian??? You're putting captured Aes sedai in what?? *Cough*

    He's not any better in interviews (I'm not posting them, but look up "Robert Jordan and The German Shepherd")

      Later on, Melissa made a joking comment about Rand and his three girlfriends.
      Robert Jordan
      Robert Jordan's reply was not what we expected. He explained that at one point in his younger life he had two girlfriends at once. They knew about each other, and they arranged dates for him so they could both be there. They were fine with it, and young Jim Rigney just went along with it. (Wouldn't you?) He figured that if he could have two girlfriends at once, then a guy like Rand could definitely do three.

      I guess it's true that we all find inspiration from our everyday lives!

      If you go on theoryland and look up "is wife was in fact a publisher," you'll see some... interesting things? 
       

      Though tbh it might have been his fandom

      Is there any chance that Cadsuane might be Ilyena reborn?
      Brandon Sanderson
      I...wha?...First of all, I'm not going to answer that. Second of all...EWW! ... And you can quote me on that!
      Matoyak
      [note from Mato: This was frackin' HILARIOUS. Totally unexpected, and Sanderson was totally shocked over it.]

      What's the most amusing and/or bizarre question a fan has ever asked you?
      Robert Jordan 
      Well, I've had a couple young women ask if they could bear my child. That's not the usual kind of question I get—that sort of took me aback, yes.

      Do you ever talk to any other fantasy authors outside of work?
      Robert Jordan
      Well, sometimes... not often. They're a good distance apart. John M. Ford...
      Aan'allein
      Then he looked very closely at the card I had him sign...

      Me: It's supposed to be Graendal.

      Robert Jordan
      Yeah, well, it is...I just never knew that Graendal had nipple-rings, that's all. Now for once, it's just a thing I hadn't realized about a character in my book, that's all.

      I see fantasy writers sometimes at conventions. And no, we don't sit around talking about fantasy. We sit around drinking beer, talking about contracts, mainly. And John M. Ford comes to visit me almost every Christmas, he's a close friend of me, uhm, almost as long as I've been married. [I think that was what he said.] And no, we don't talk about fantasy either. We talk about other writers, and contracts. When...has his book finished, that sort of thing.

      Footnote
      RJ has often said that the common notion of your characters self-developing is a ridiculous notion, which adds a bit of extra humor to this quote.



       

  11. Name: Sasha Are you a good person: Yes. Are you cruel: No Are you respectful: No Just get a good idea of how they interact with strangers.
  12. "Did you get me underground just to have it collapse on us?" Jakob groans "I swear to Joy."
  13. Oh ill be in school for another month or so yet lol. But it's like irrelevant class.
  14. In the corner, the hair begins to spin like a compass gone mad. Back on Açila... A shadow in the shape of a wolf emerges from the forest, completely silent. The light warps around it, like a wound in the very air, distorting and consuming. Its padded feet turn into padded boots, and its claws into blades. He speaks for a moment to the fox and nods. The fox stretches upwards until their fur turns bare, and porcelain covers their eyes.
