  1. Here's some rapid fire life updates: 

    Feeling somewhat agoraphobic as of late. I'm pretty sure that's the right word. 

    Tired. I am also that. 

    I'm learning piano! It's going pretty well, I'm not too bad at picking up on new pieces.

    And then the biggest one, which some of you know already: I have a girlfriend! So that's pretty great.

      It is. It kind of just happened, which was very unexpected. And I still definitely don't fully understand my own feelings, since it's not really the same for me as the way it's often talked about.

      Love and attraction are rarely as they’re described. It’s deeply personal and tailored to how you feel. Congratulations, Archie.

      also, piano is pretty cool.

  2. I feel like RPing but I can't really do anything in the ones I'm in right now.

    Maybe I could make one... But what?

  3. What's this? A poem?

    Spoiler

    An echo of hope from a distant horizon.

    I plunged down below, but could see the sun rise, and

    Swam up to meet it, with watery eyes.

    The tears, they all mixed as I saw the sun rise.

     

    Our sky's yellow sun is reliable, yes,

    Predicting the darkness a quite simple task. 

    The sun that I saw through the stinging abyss

    Has been hiding a while, but has risen for this.

     

    The fear and fatigue will bite at me still.

    The sea's swells and waves bring a sobering chill.

    But opposite it is a warmth and a light

    That will be there, even when set out of sight.

     

    For now, I'm alive, and time marches on

    With no music or rhythm, but regardless, a song. 

    We never can know what the future will bring, 

    But for now, I'm just trying to live on and sing.

     

  4. Happy Eclipse Day, everyone!

    Remember that even if the sun is mostly covered, use eclipse glasses! Even at 90+% totality, it can and will damage your vision.

  5. I've done it.

    I've read everything in the Cosmere to date. Every novel and novella (and White Sand). I just finished The Sunlit Man.

    I don't know what to do or feel. I guess now I just rest until SA5...

    Spoiler

    But wait...

    Spoiler

    There's annotations on some books...

    Spoiler

    And WOBs...

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Still taking a break though. Maybe I should start a TBR

      Congrats!!

      There's a whole ocean of books still waiting to be read 👀

      Read Babel by R F Kuang!! I feel like you’d enjoy it, I’m reading it right now.

      I didn’t realize, thanks for telling me :P

  7. I am... tired. Very tired. Things have been better, but they might get worse soon.

      *hugs tightly*

      We'll be here for you through it ❤️

  8. You know, I've been pretty tired. Starting to take college classes after so long without really anything to do is a lot, even though I'm only taking a few right now. Not only that, but I'm having to do a lot of walking and waiting for buses each day, sometimes in the rain :P. Still, though, tired isn't always bad. And I think I'll adjust.

    Overall, I'm doing alright.

  9. Morning.

    I did not sleep tonight, though I couldn't tell you exactly why.

    It's very quiet here.

    There are still all sorts of cracks, but I've tried my best to avoid them. They'll stay there, though. Each time I brush up against one it scares me.

    I say I'm better, but I can't help but worry that the only reason I seem less broken is that right now there's very little water to leak through those cracks.

    I'm not safe, I'm just hiding.

  10. Cin! Hi! Been a while :D

      Oh man! I didn't see your response! 

      I've been pretty up and down, right now its mostly up so yay. I got covid though, so I'm isolated from my family upstairs and my brain is running solely on green Zooper Dooper juice, panodol and no sleep :P .

      Ah, COVID is typically no fun. Glad to hear you're doing mostly well, though!

      Yeah, its not awesome. I'm glad you are too!

      Thank you! It's been a good morning and I'm excited for the rest of the day. 

  12. You know those days when the first thing you eat is an entire raw lemon at lunchtime?

      I too have a bit of a residual cough. Happy Njddyfhfhskrfhsmfgh to you as well. 

  14. Hey all. Christmas Eve! Or even already Christmas, for some of you. Spent a lot of time with family today. It was nice.

    Feeling... quite bad, honestly. I don't know why.

      I know that feeling Archie, and it’s awful. I really hope you can break free from it.

    4. The Wandering Wizard

      The Wandering Wizard

      Yeah it isn't a fun feeling

      *hugs*

  15. I've been in the cramped backseat of a car on and off for over 8 hours, and I will be for at least 2 more.

    Worst part is that there's not much RP going on today 😕

    Or stuff in general, but that felt relevant. I'm exhausted, and generally not doing the best. Ugh.

      You got this Archie!!!

      WOO!

      Relatable.

      Isnt it the worlst when you have an open day, and you are so ready to just do rps, then nothing really happens?

  16. Welp. Thanks, people. Definitely not the most... typical way to get this but... yay!

      This is not a very honest way to win a day
