    ...I've only ever heard it spoken in the romantic context But like, the douchebag-y romantic context where you don't really consider the person you're "rizzing" to be a person Or maybe I'm just assuming because the kind of people I first heard the word from were the kind of people who'd do that. Also I thought there was a w. Because English is already broken and we might as well mix all the ways it's broken together in a nice little soup. ...The words change definitions too fast, okay? I can't keep track of them.

    First of all, I thought that's what that word meant. Second.....no. Just no. That's...no.

    Elan, you better not be endorsing the "flirt to convert" methodology.

    I did this once a long time ago, and Silh was the one who figured it out...but then the Shard updated, so it changed. So....who can figure out what shade of grey the SU reply boxes are?

    I remember noticing at some point there was an italics mistake with some Nightblood dialogue. I don't remember the exact phrase or page, and I don't have my copy with me to look right now, but I wanted to put a note of it here in case someone else found it and I missed it when I read through the thread.

    My era in TLT has ended but it is by far the best topic. A notable runner up is the first Insanity Clinic RP, which has since ended...but those were good days. I think as a whole the RP section is the best subforum, though. At least these days. (Not that I've poked my head into the actual Cosmere discussion forums enough lately to accurately judge.)

    I've only seen Brotherhood. Haven't seen the other or read the manga. Though I've heard good things about both of them.

    I haven't posted here in a while, but you are all due an update. (If you hang around the areas of the Shard that I do, though, you already know.) I've been confirmed an Elder and have recived my Endowment, and am getting set apart as a missionary very soon. I'm serving in the California Arcadia mission, speaking Spanish. It's been a crazy few months, and while there are some nerves, I'm also very excited. My testimony has grown in some important ways lately, which is good. And I'm sure that trend will only continue. If any of the people reading this want to be on my email list, just send me a PM, and I'll add you.

    I read it, and I don't think so. I think Brandon does plan to use elements of it when he writes the canon Dragonsteel, so I guess if you wanted to go in completely blind it would be best not to read it, but from what I could tell it didn't seem like it had any huge spoilerific implications for the Cosmere.

    The issue is I used to be a lot more Windrunner so I've always imagined myself as a Windrunner, and I love their power set, and I had a personality in mind for my spren and everything, and then later I realized "...yeah, I'm totally a Truthwatcher." So I dunno. Maybe the oaths of the orders don't conflict as much.

    ...Isn't Teft a good two or three decades older than Kaladin? I thought he was a mentor figure... Regardless, welcome to the Shard! Yeah, I'm Truthwatcher, and am in the same boat. There isn't much known about some of the Orders.
  23. The Bookwyrm
    At this point, I think it's okay if everyone takes it their own direction. I'll see if I can find time to squeeze this out, but my life is getting busier by the day...
  24. The Bookwyrm
    I'm just surprised people think I'm orderly.

    I'm going to make this now before I procrastinate it again!

    IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ON MY MISSIONARY EMAIL LIST, PLEASE PM ME THE EMAIL YOU WOULD LIKE MY MESSAGES SENT TO.

    I'll probably send out one or two reminders before I leave, and I'll try to reach out to people who I think might want to be on the list if they don't contact me.

      I'm about to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'll be gone for two years, serving in California (Spanish speaking), and teaching people who want to know more about our church, and also helping by doing other kinds of service. (I'm serving near where all those fires were, so I'll probably do some work related to that in my first few months.) 

      I won't be able to be on the Shard, or most social media at all, but missionaries are supposed to send out weekly emails to their family, friends, and anyone else who wants to hear from them. I'm getting a list of the emails of people who want those weekly updates from me, so that I can make sure they receive them.

      that's incredible work!

      may God bless your endeavors then
