  1. Guys

    I plan to leave the Shard on maybe Wednesday (no I'm not telling you when school ended/ends).

    My Shardiversary is encompassed by the summer.

    So ig I have to say something.
    If I forget you, it's because I'm not following you (I think).

    @___/Mippo, I've enjoyed getting to know you. Although you don't say enough insane things to make the one liners, you still say lots of funny things that make my day. You are a great sausage.

    @Through the Living Hopper, you helped me figure out this strange site, and for that, I am in your debt. I also appreciate your pfp. I laugh sometimes when I see it. It strangely reminds me of my little sibling, who looks like a Cryptic running in her nightgown sometimes.

    @AltonicKeys, you created the Battle for the Sandwich and the Shard wouldn't be the same place without it. Thanks for almost a year of crazy Sandwich-stealing.

    @Bird Furious, I didn't know you that long, but the time that I did know you was awesome. We all miss you Haly! I don't think that you'll see this, but thanks for your time on the Shard.

    @ChipsAHoid/[redacted], I'll try not to make this too long. Wow! You've almost lasted a year as both a Shard/irl friend. It's been amazing to have a friend (still sounds strange to say). Storms you're insane. Thanks for introducing me to the Shard/Stormlight, and being the only person in years I feel comfortable talking to. It's been surreal, truly. Thanks for being an awesome Sandernerd/ marimba player/absurdly kind and witty person. Thanks for making me laugh so hard my face hurts. Thanks for a year I'll never forget. Thanks for giving me hope.

    @CoderDrag0n8, the official ORV Bondsmith! I'm reading it, seriously (not sarcastic). And it's awesome. You're a pretty cool flavored concrete-snorting, fae king, book wyrm, etc. I know there's stuff I'm forgetting please don't kill me no no no. Anyway, the Shard is not the Shard without you and therefore you are the Shard and the Shard is you (don't question my logic it makes sense trust).

    @Conure1243, you're the most unhinged guy I know (and that is truly one of the best compliments I could ever give). Or maybe the entire world is insane, and you're the only sane one. You never know. Anyway, I love you're amazing quotes and your art that makes my art feel pathetic (which, it is), but that's beside the point. Conure's art is awesome. If you haven't seen it, go look at it because it's insane (and much better than my passable stick figures). I am honored to be the sandwich on the floor.

    @First of the Tide, the Shardblade you made for me is awesome! I know you're not active on most threads, but that doesn't change how much I've enjoyed talking with you.

    @GG0z, I still think of you as a 'New Sharder', but you've proven your activity by now. It's very fun fraternizing and being insane together on TLPL. I look forward to hopefully seeing you after summer. Congratulations on me remembering you! *spawns celebratory thunderclasts*

    @Honors Spectral Image, I believe you were my first Shardbuddy! Thanks for tolerating a year of insanity and confuddling comments! You're super awesome!

    @Ink and Embers, you're the first Brit I've ever known, and now my opinion of Britain is high. You're so funny and kind and just all around awesome! Thanks for being so nice! I love it when we're both on the Shard at the same time.

    @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren, I enjoyed meeting you this year, particularly on the Let's Be Radiant thread. Somehow, I've seriously multiplied my sanity by negative two this year (yes because my sanity was in the negatives before; also, no I'm not terribly sane now but it's an improvement), and I think my oaths had a lot to do with that. Understanding myself and all that nonsense. So, thanks especially for refounding the Knights Radiant. And just being yourself in general. You have more humor than Kaladin, trust me. *sends snow*

    @Kansas Stormcursed, I wish you were on here more often, but I hope you're having fun!  You (like pretty much everyone on the Shard) are super awesome. When I first joined on July 5, my parents kicked me off shortly, and the only Shard username (besides Chips and his sister) by the time school startedwas you. Needless to say, I was momentarily very confused because I thought it was a reference I didn't get, but here we are! Thank you for contributing to this awesome year!

    @PianoSavant/[redacted], I know you don't post on here much, but that doesn't mean that you aren't an amazing Sanderfan! I love your banner---particularly the taynix art! It's beautiful, seriously. Wish I could see you more often.

    @The Great Wyver, I miss you and all of your absolutely big windy delectable platter of meaty liquids! Super sad that the Shard is blocked :( (surprised it hasn't on mine yet but am very happy). Hope you're doing okay!

    @Through The Living Ash, you're another one I miss. I really appreciated your Ashkalodaness (although I suppose I never learned what Ashkaloda even means). I hope you have an awesome life after high school!!!!!!!!

    @Through The Living Ketek, Master of Keteks, thank you for letting us be insane nerds together. No, I never joined your cult, but that was because it was too late by the time I noticed what was going on. Don't kill me...please. Fellow engineering nerd, fun acquaintance, and good friend overall.

    @Through the Living Shadow, yippee for like 70,000 name confusions! I survived! Thanks for your kindness, wit, and wrath. Well, it depends on how you define wrath. I wouldn't describe you as a 'wrathful spirit'. I read your writing, it's good too.

    @Through The Living Star, we're so similar we're practically clones! Except you're nicer, saner (yes you are don't argue), and better at writing! Also you speak Chinese and play ultimate frisbee and do all sorts of cool stuff. Anyways, stay super cool and awesome and don't leave over the summer bc I'll be sadddd. And try not to die. Too much. I'll miss youuuu.

    @Verdance, congrats on graduating high school!!!! And you're still on the Shard, so I continue to benefit from your presence. And I actually kinda thought about your username a little, and decided to go on a walk (with a Sanderson book). And now instead of sulking, reading, and being depressed, I stare out at nature, sulk, read, and am depressed! (It's better actually so thanks).

    @Vielence, I miss seeing you more often and hope you're doing great (and getting your much needed warrior cake)! *sends some as a 1 1/2 month late birthday present*. I have definitely enjoyed your often amusing comments!

    And update: I found Spartan, he wasn't following me (what a sane guy), which is why this part is a little later. If there's someone else I'm forgetting lemme know so I can clear up that terrible mistake :)

    @SpartanBrigade, you're the most awesome 148-year old guy I know! (well, so says your birth date). I've enjoyed the magic

    Spoiler

    cocaine

    and the too juicy steak and the too buttery lobster. All in all, Spartan, you are a really nice guy and thanks for existing!

    Update 2:

    I also forgot
    @Usseewa, thank you for letting @----- (no I want my head attached, like Vie said at some point I think) change your username back. It's been simply awesome. Thank you for your persistent kindness and insanity.

    Storms that took a while.

    I'll miss you all.

    And no I'm not dying.

    See you August or smth (I might be able to sneak on and marvel at the amount of notifs at some point in the summer, but I won't be active until then).

  2. I'VE DONE IT

    Divine intervention, is that what you seek?
    To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek?
    You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame
    But if he's worth the risk of going under

    Who ever my Athena is, thank you.

  10. Yesterday I watched the Project Hail Mary, along with a bunch of friends, some of whom had read the book (@Spahc11@Katalri_105@Emperor Comatose) and others who hadn't (@The WorldHopper Taynix@RealMemori@ElendTheEmperor, and 2 non-Sharder non-Sanderfans).

    Now, some background

    1) This was the first time I voluntarily went to a movie in years

    2) This was also the first time I watched an adaptation of something I'd read. I'd read a lot of books with adaptations, but never watched any of them until yesterday.

    So, my (probably controversial) opinion: it felt like a rushed version of the book. And that wasn't just me, it was everyone I went with who'd read it. The people who hadn't read it said it was alright. Which is strange, as everyone here on the Shard as well as my uncle and aunt who watched it said it was really good.

    So not to say I didn't like it, I did, but not that much.

    PHM spoilers below.

    Spoiler

    I just felt like they'd cut so much and rushed through so much else, like Grace figuring out where and who he was, learning Eridian, the whole thing with using the beetles for propulsion, the first Taumoeba leak, the nitrogen, etc.

    And basically everything happening on Earth in the flashbacks was like 

    Gone

    None of Stratt's Vat was even named, and most didn't appear at all. 

    Again, this is probably because I'd never seen an adaptation before, but everyone else I went with thought so too, so I don't know.

    1. AltonicKeys

      AltonicKeys

      As someone who didn't read the book, I liked it a lot. While yeah, the pacing was kinda fast and it definitely felt like they were trying to cram, I kind of liked it. I feel like a lot of movies always beat around the bush when doing stuff, so in a way I'm glad that they didn't have unnecessarily long segments.

      Spoiler

      Like I feel like Grace remembering the flashbacks as they're revealed to us without really addressing them verbally, it flowed better than him sitting down and going "Woah I remember." I like how there wasn't a 10 minute long montage of Grace and Rocky submitting words into their translator, I sorta like how they didn't always play Rocky's Eridan speech. and I don't mind them not showing Grace learning Eridan when he started living there, it was p much an epilogue so time skips are standard

      My nitpicks come from some discrepancies that didn't sit right with me. Like how Tau Ceti was 20 lightyears away from earth or something, but the probes they'd send back took 4 years to return, and they clearly don't have FTL travel. Or why couldn't they just breed more astrophage for a return trip home. I get the narrative reason, but still.

      Maybe I'm glazing the movie too much because I liked Rocky. I'm a sucker for non-humanoid aliens. But I did genuinely enjoy it. I guess  experiencing an adaptation of something is bound to have some inconsistencies though, so I 100% understand where you're coming from.

      idk

      There was this one anime my sister watched, Mashle I think, where this one villain has like wicked fearsome magic stuff and might have been one of the coolest characters in the show, and then later he's introduced as the guy who calls girls "females"

  17. A low boom rocked the world as a grey/green mist spiraled, then solidified into an imposing figure with a powerful build, and an impossibly geometric head.

    The being inhaled, filling his newly formed lungs with air after far far too long. Then he roared, a terrible earthrending sound accompanied by the thunder and lightning of the nearby storm. A sound that made the whole Shard tremble.

    Frustration had returned.

  18. That one time a Death Eater disrespecting McGonagall filled Harry with enough rage to cast an Unforgivable Curse

    Spoiler

    Amycus moved forward until he was offensively close to Professor McGonagall, his face within inches of hers. She refused to back away, but looked down at him as if he were something disgusting she had found stuck to a lavatory seat.

    “It’s not a case of what you’ll permit, Minerva McGonagall. Your time’s over. It’s us what’s in charge here now, and you’ll back me up or you’ll pay the price.”

    And he spat in her face.

    Harry pulled the Cloak off himself, raised his wand, and said, “You shouldn’t have done that.”

    As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, “Crucio!”

    The Death Eater was lifted off his feet. He writhed through the air like a drowning man, thrashing and howling in pain, and then, with a crunch and a shattering of glass, he smashed into the front of a bookcase and crumpled, insensible, to the floor.

    “I see what Bellatrix meant,” said Harry, the blood thundering through his brain, “you need to really mean it.”

    “Potter!” whispered Professor McGonagall, clutching her heart. “Potter—you’re here! What—? How—?” She struggled to pull herself together. “Potter, that was foolish!”

    “He spat at you,” said Harry.

    “Potter, I—that was very—very gallant of you—but don’t you realize—?”

    “Yeah, I do,” Harry assured her.

      I'm kinda realizing. for stuff named "unforgivable curses" there sure is a lack of restriction/regulation. The only thing stopping people from just killing each other is having a moral compass, which Harry kinda loses sometimes? idk
