My ability to overthink and panic about something that is inevitably completely fine is unmatched.

Sorry If I'm being a little more inactive recently, I'm going through some stressful stuff in life and I feel the need to focus on that. 

So, I probably won't pop on as much as normal the next couple days. Please don't worry, I'm fine, school's just getting really intense. 

Also, I realize that Threnodite Hunger Games has started, I will try and get to it, but we'll see. It's difficult to judge how much energy I'll have.

Oh! quick update on my reading: I finished Tress, which was an absolute masterpiece, and I've started Yumi.  I'm only a few chapters in but I am enjoying it so far. 

I hope you all have a great day!

when you forgot about the update and then you causally log on late at night-

deep breaths

d e e p b r e a t h s

okay we're good

I think we're good

remember how the other day I said I used a soldering tool and didn't burn myself? 

yeah . . . 

that streak didn't last long

Sooo . . . Instagram has pretty much crashed and burned up into a tiktok knock off . . .

Is twitter worth getting? 

Can you avoid the arguing people?

I soldered something for the first time in my life today, and it was honestly less scary than I thought so that's good. I didn't even burn my fingers!

It was real simple stuff, just connecting 2 wires, but I'm still proud of myself for some reason.

Just one of those things that seems scary until you actually do it I guess.

I finished TLM last night and it was *wipes tears* very very good.

I started Tress and I'm really enjoying it so that's fun.

"Don't worry Mr. Teacher Sir! I'll get all my missing schoolwork done over fall break! I'm totally responsible and organized!"

800 posts, that's cool!

I have to go to my robotics class now, which is terrifying but I know that smart kid so it's probably fine.

my grade is suffering

no I don't know what a transistor is sir

sir I can't soder stuff after only watching one vague demonstration, I will burn the school down please help

smh, the minimalist propaganda in my interior design class is just disappointing

yaaaaaaaaaaay

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 :/

Gavilar Kholin and Master Kohga are cinematic parallels

how do you-

how do you get yourself to play video games?

like actually make yourself grab the controller and start playing?

Cause I have several games I love, and want to play. But my brain can't fathom playing them? Like for some reason I can't get myself to get off the couch and walk 2 feet over to get the switch. 

And so I just sit there. 

There are some days when I'm tired from school and don't have the brain power to play games, but on days when I'm perfectly fine I still can't do it.

Why is this so hard?

Like yeah, I could be doing more productive things I guess, like schoolwork or drawing or whatnot. But in reality, if I don't pull out the game, I just sit there and watch tv instead.

So it's not like I'm missing out on being productive because I'm not going to be more productive anyway.

Why can't I do it? Why I am typing this and not pulling the game out? Why isn't Kass in Totk?

guys I have to write a speech in English

and I can give it on anything

but I have no idea what to do

alkd;ad;lskjdf;lkaj 

been kinda sick lately, which is why I haven't been as active 

today's the day I'm ever so slightly well enough to go back to school so yay

having a greeaaaaat day

Might be a little late, but I was told to advertise so here we go:

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

things I could be doing rn:

-Drawing

-Writing

-Drawing but on the computer

-Playing video games

-Watching that show I promised my friend I would watch

there are so many things I could do so I just end up doing nothing brooo

Why is it so hard to get myself to do the stuff I like doing and definity want to do????

So today is bringing all of your stuff in anything but a backpack day . . .

I brought a laundry basket 

10/10 backpack my fingers do not hurt from carrying it at all.

Update on the magic system thing:

I have not made any progress at all since the last SU, (I'm lazy, Youtube is an addiction), but I did decide on just explaining the lore

Also I'm now realizing how basic and unoriginal it is but that's sure as heck not gonna stop me : /

I need to revise some bits and add a lot more stuff but this is where we're at:

Me trying to write out this magic system thing:

Anyways, I've got most of my ideas down, I just have to finish writing the actual explanations. 

Also I'm struggling with writing out the lore section so I thought I'd get your input. I need to explain some of the world's basic lore so you can understand the magic system better. My problem is I'm not sure how to write that out.

Would it be better for me to write it like I'm explaining it to you?

Ex. "Hi this is what happened in the lore"

Or would it be better to tell it like a story"

Ex. "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away . . ."

what do you think?

Guys this magic system is taking a lot longer to type out then I anticipated 

uuuumm it's also really long

It's still coming though! Just prepare yourself 'kay?

I broke the shard lol

hmmm

I need help developing an (extremely over complicated) magic system for the world building I've been doing, and I'm debating making a world building thread for it . . .

I've never shared this stuff with anybody (other than my mom) before so it might not be very good.

What do ya'll think?
