    so I'm terrified my grade in ap art is gonna drop significantly

    because I think the teacher is gonna start grading us in a way he didn't explain or warn us about at all?

    and I kind of think the method super unfair, however I only overheard him talking about it and  so I don't know the details

    anyway so my super anxious self is very anxious about it,

    HOWEVER

    i cracked out the GPA calculator and worse case scenario (a D in the class) I still have over a 3.9 GPA

    which means that worse case scenario I can still qualify for the scholarship I'm working towards

    so worse case scenario everything should be fine

    I'm writing this to convince myself and force myself to stop worrying about it

    I literally should not care about this this much I know . . .

    okay we're good

    I think we're good

      I sadly don’t really play video games so I don’t completely understand the reference, but

      YES

      Huh, I can’t find the button to change font size with the new update. Did they remove that feature, or am I just missing something?

  2. I finished The Final Empire last night and holy craaap!!! it was so goooood!!!!!!!!

    (NOOOOO KELSIER- i will never recover:()

    I think sometimes when I start a brandon novel I forget that its going to end like a brandon novel

    That man writes climaxes like there's no tomorrow.

    (also I couldn't help but love the scene where hoid shows up, does absolutely nothing, and then immediately leaves, it was fabulous) 

  3.  things are getting pretty wild where I live rn, its kinda crazy

    so on sunday, we got like a full foot of snow, which is unfortunate but not that bad,

    but yesterday, the HIGHEST temperature was -1 degrees, and it got so low (-24) that they delayed school because there was risk of frostbite (yikes), we had to use a broom to push all the snow of off our car that morning (which I find funny for some reason idk it was a weird experience)

    today, it's still really cold, and on top of that the power went out for a while all over the area (not at my school though so I still had to go). It went out at around 9:30 a.m., and I have no idea if it's come back on yet. 

    It's currently 0 degrees, which is better than yesterday so hopefully this is the tail end of it 

    haha I really don't like winter :D

      yeeks.... we've gotten exactly (0) inches of snow since winter started. and we're not even in a warm place, at all. so can't relate. but good luck! I hope you stay warm n safe!!

  5. *Ahsoka spoilers maybe, I tired to keep it vague*

    Me watching that one scene in Ahsoka episode 4, knowing full well that the rest of my family will complain about it (having not scene rebels) and dying a little bit inside.

      Quote

       

      I heard she's apparently revealed to be force sensitive. I'm fine with that, but apparently that's not the common opinion and I don't get it


       

      that's . . . not exactly what happened (and I'll tell you this because it's discussed in like, the second episode, so its not really spoiler)

      basically: Ahsoka tried to take Sabine on as a padawan, probably more because she already understands combat a good deal, and Ahsoka doesn't have access to a whole lot of other people she could train. 

      {mild mild mild spoilers, like I said above}

      the show discusses how they tried this apprenticeship, but butted heads a lot, and Ahsoka ended up calling it quits because things weren't working very well, (and in my opinion, I'm sure there were more important things taking her attention at the time), and because Sabine struggles to access the force

      time passes blah blah, Ahsoka finds the map to Ezra/Thrawn, this is the premise of the show as I'm sure you know.

      Sabine and Ahsoka decide to resume her training because they'll be working together to find Ezra anyway, and Sabine wants to be stronger etc. etc. they make up mostly and etc.

      But they make it clear that Sabine struggles to access the force. Shes not naturally gifted with it the way our general Jedi character would be. She's shown attempting to move simple objects and failing, attempting to use it in fights and failing. We haven't seen her use it on screen at all yet.

      Now, Ahsoka insists (correctly) that the force is inside everyone, and with enough discipline Sabine can use it. I think a good analogy for this would be Princess Lea, who really wasn't obviously gifted in the force and never used in the movies she's present in. But that didn't stop her from training as a Jedi and making a lightsaber because she did have a slight inclination to the force. 

      So, suffice it to say, yes Sabine will probably use the force. But (in my a opinion)i n a way that will be believable, and small scale enough to make sense. It's a bit out of pocket but I can see honestly see it working and it didn't really surprise me, especially since we've seen her use the dark saber to some effectiveness (which could hint at slight force sensitivity)

      sorry that ended up being super long.

  10. akldsjflajsd why is changing your school schedule so needlessly stressful?? why am I so stressed out about this? 

    I was looking at the classes available left to choose from, to fill in one last slot on my schedule. Basically: there was one boring option, and a higher level class that would be harder, but more interesting. I chose the interesting one.

    and now I'm immediately regretting it! yaaaaaaaaay! I think I underestimated how much work its gonna be and now I'm (as stated above) stressed out about it. 

    I genuinely don't think I can ask to change things again, because the forum said we could only make one change per semester. yaaaaaaaaaaaay

    maybe hopefully i can chat with my counselor about it but who knows at this point

    anyway, I hope ya'll are having a good day!

  11. alkd;ad;lskjdf;lkaj

  16. Good Morning everyone!!!

    Today's my Shardiversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Woooooooooooooo!!!

    I should be doing Math rn but who cares!!!!!!!!!!

    Aaaanyway, I really can't believe it's been a whole year since I came to this place. It felt much, much shorter believe me.

    I just want to thank everyone here for being so kind and friendly, this is honestly the nicest corner of the internet-- and trust me, I've searched. I'm so glad I can be here and get to know all of you! and I'm so glad the school wifi doesn't block this site. Also thank you to the rp people for dealing with me being so incessantly annoying. 

    I honestly don't know how to express how much being a part of this community has helped me the past while. So just, thank you so much! 

    I'm thinking about starting an AMA thread in celebration if that interests anyone.

    Also update on the magic system thing: It has largely been put on hold because school is taking up all of my time and energy, but it will happen, someday, in the near-distant future. so :/

      the main problem is I don't actually know whether I want to go with hard or soft worldbuilding, which is definitely something important to know, and it will change how I explain the magic system

      also, there's a heck ton of lore needed to even begin explaining how it all works, so I need to figure out all the lore too

  17. GUYS

    We got Tears of the Kingdom gameplay today!!!

    It was so good!!

    Go watch it!!

    Seriously though, this made me unreasonably happy for some reason, I've had kind of a crap day so far, but it made me feel way better. I guess it's just really satisfying to see the realization of something that has been a mystery for such a long time. It wasn't very spoilery as well, it just introduced some of the new gameplay mechanics.

    also links hair was beautiful (But I won't fangirl too much)

    1. The Bookwyrm

      The Bookwyrm

      I was a tiny bit sad about how similar the normal ground level Hyrule looked. (I swear I know that world like the back of my hand by this point...) But the implications of it and the reassurances that there are changes make me very excited.

      In fact I bet they designed the game at least partially for people who already knew BotW Hyrule like the backs of their hands.

    2. Potato's Wit

      @Ranryu and I think his hair was ugly.

      It was very fun to see all the cool stuff though. Like, Keese eyes are useless, but not anymore! What other items we've just labeled as trash will be useful??

  18. Guys Guys Guys

    I've had an epiphany, a realization even.

    So remember when I was ranting about how I didn't know what I wanted my AP art theme to be? Like a week ago maybe? 

    One of the hardest parts about this class is I have to take all my reference photos myself.

    So I was thinking, with that brain I have in my head, what do I already have nice pictures of that I could paint?

    and then I remember how I obsessively take pictures of the clouds every time they're vaugely interesting looking. I have so many pretty cloud pictures.

    So what if that was my theme? What if I just painted clouds? I've never painted clouds before but it sounds fun!

    hehehehe I'm excited now

    1. Cinnamon

      Cinnamon

      That’s a great idea!! You could do landscapes and make cloud inspired architecture or characters or just lots of pretty clouds and storm clouds and… well there’s lots of things :P Have fun!

    2. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      Ooh that’s awesome!! I have a friend who was in AP art last year and she did entirely bike themed and it turned out insane. I bet your clouds will be awesome!!

    3. J. Magi

  23. Hello everyone, good morning!!!! Late Happy Easter!! (to all who celebrate, and good vibes to those who don't)

    I'm sorry I've been kind of inactive recently, here are my excuses: 

    -I had this last week of off school, so my family was doing stuff and I was busy (sometimes)

    -Alternatively I also spent said school vacation doing absolutely nothing because school exhausted me and sometimes you just need to take a week to ignore your responsibilities.

    -I also generally spend most of my time on the shard at school, so the habit of checking it just wasn't there (but I'm working on this one!)

    Anyway, I'm back now, and I will get to reading Facepalms writing thread!! (that's my first priority :D). Its good to be back!

    I've used lots of exclamation points today but I don't care!!!
