Huh
I took the knights radiant quiz and got Truthwatcher, which does make sense, but I guessguess I thought I was a Lightweaver, mostly because I'm an artist.
Then again, my art probably wouldn't work very well with lightweaving (it's very stylized), so maybe I am a truthwatcher?
It just goes to show you stuff

yep
its snowing again

I would recommend anything by Diana Wynne Jones, I haven't read all of her stuff but shes one of my favorite fantasy writers. Her books are usually more lighthearted, but they're not specifically for children. They do tend to be a little calmer though, there's not a lot of huge battles and I don't think you'll find the "character who can nuke a whole field," I love her writing because a lot of her stories tend to stay away from common fantasy tropes and cliches, her ideas are really original and entertaining. (also I know her books are on amazon because that's where I got mine ) Recommendations: Howls Moving Castle: Romance, really amazing female protagonist, interesting world building (has an anime movie based off of it that's equally as good), but it doesn't have a lot of fighting or battles. Castle in the Air & House of Many Ways: Sequels to HMC, but you could probably read them without reading the 1st one because they focus on other characters. These both have a bit more action than HMC but it's still not a lot. Chrestomanci Chronicles: this is a series of books she did, each book focusing on a different character, some of them being prequels to others (like narnia). I would compare them to harry potter a little bit, but don't read too deeply into that. Really interesting magic system and world building, with well written characters. Shes written alot more than that, but thats what I have read. -
My copy of Alloy of Law finally came in the mail!!
I'm really excited about it
even though I can't read till I finish RoW

"I'll admit I have heard of her before making this trip, I guess I just didn't realize she'd be so severe," Whist said, "I've dealt with self intitled rich people in the past, so I assumed that's all she'd be, clearly I was wrong." "There is certainly something off about her . . . is it possible all shes doing is threatening them?" Whist asked.
-
"I'm . . . I'm not sure," Whist admitted, "She could have us stop around dinner time to make up for missing the midday break . . . but I dunno, this is Grace we're talking about."

Happy birthday Haly!! Thanks for being so welcoming and friendly to me in my first days here. I didn't get to know you for very long, but I'm glad I could know you, even for a little time. The Shard won't be the same without you, Here's to hoping you'll make it back someday

thank you! I know right? I really love their dynamic, they work really well together

It is literally blizzarding so hard right now you can barely see past the other side of the street
holy crap

Hi Hello Good morning its been like a month . . . but I'm back! Here's a "sketch" of Hoid and Jasnah [mild blood warning] Its from that one RoW scene-- you know the one [edit: I literally just realized I forgot her crown/circlet but thats okay]

"Right," Whist said. They continued on along the path for a while, still not stopping. The sun began to fall in the sky, evening was coming. The soldiers armor clinked as they walked and obviously they weren't very pleased about the non-stop travel. It was easy to understand, half plate was heavy and it was a warm evening. A few grumbled as they walked but they mostly stayed silent, like they were scared of Grace hearing even though she was in the carriage. Muriel rode on behind them, emotionless and stiff.
-
Whist glanced at Muriel, she had assumed that they were far enough away, but MeSaan was probably right. It had been a long time since she had done this sort of thing. "Right," she said, lowering her voice after moving back a little, "What do you suggest we do?"
-
"We're not planning to escape right now, I think we're just throwing some ideas around," Whist said, "We have the rest of today and then tomorrow morning before we reach Caerlon, so we should use that time to plan."
-
Whist glanced between Fiadh and Lenne, "Well we should probably coordinate these ideas . . . If it helps at all I can make rudimentary illusions, but they might not be advanced enough to work in an open place like this."
-
"Okay, what do you think we should do?" Whist asked. @NerdyAarakocra @Tani @Shallan Stormblessed @InfinteInsanity

I'll be honest my brain just kinda stumbles through it and says something like "Kayoelcity"

You always make Syl look so magical! -
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

"It looks like we're still going to Caerlon, though we might have some trouble getting away from these people when we reach the city," Whist was trying to think of ways to slip away, but so far she didn't have any good ideas. She handed Fiadh an apple and began eating one herself. It was around lunch time by now, but Grace's company made no move to stop for the meal.
-
"Or grant them seven years in prison for trying to steal from the richest woman on the island," Whist said. "The berries on the the bush aren't worth the thorns." The company began to move again, the soldiers reforming around the carriage. Muriel once again trailed behind them all, this time with Whist and company in tow.
