  1. The words

    oh you guys

    oh you GUYS

    the writing is going like the most crazy it ever has

    i’m obsessed

    i might be evil

    but I love it

    Spoiler

    “Is that your best?” Teacher spat to the side. “Barely two minutes. I expect more from you.”

    “I can’t,” Nite whispered, preparing himself for a hit, or the unnatural pain that came when Teacher was most angry. Neither arrived.

    “Who taught you to say that?”

    “What?”

    “Who taught you to say you can’t?”

    “I don’t understand.”

    “I didn’t teach you to quit. I didn’t teach you weakness. Did someone else, or do you think you can learn on your own, that you don’t need me any longer?”

    Nite swallowed. “Your dragon is too powerful, Teacher. Maybe if I knew your secret way of taming…” the words were bitter in his mouth. Even as he said them, he knew they were wrong. 

    “Look at me,” Teacher said. Nite did. The man was tall and haughty and proud. Fluid movements and a pair of thin swords. “You don’t have my permission to die, and so there is never a reason for you to give in. I expect you to put your chin up, wipe the sweat out of your eyes, and take the next step. You’ve done worse than this. You’ve done worse than this a hundred times over. Who gave you the right to let it beat you?”

    Nite swallowed. “Nobody, Teacher.”

    “Then get up and fight. I will not be so lenient if this happens again.”

    “Thank you, Teacher.”

    lemme know and I’ll post the whole scene when I finish

  2. Elder Wyrm!!

    you’re the greatest. Congrats on being even more ancient :))

  3. I know this is a writing thread but technically, it’s a words thread chthonic: defined as belonging to the underworld.
  4. tropes I love #1

    two characters are the best in the world at their given discipline. But they’re the main characters, so you forget that everything they do, easy as breathing, is considered impossible for regular people.

    then they meet those regular people, and you get to watch them shine

    1. Honors Spectral Image

      Honors Spectral Image

      I love that one too it’s so good

      AltonicKeys

      Trope that I love: A character (protagonist or otherwise) is dirt poor at everything they do and they meet someone normal and is blown away at how good they are and still manage to beat them via shenanigans

      There was a little girl,
                  Who was very hungry,
      Right in the middle of the day.
                  When she'd eaten,
                  She was very full indeed,
      But later that feeling went away.
       

      A Parody of Longfellow by Platypus :D

      I was a hungry young girl

      ok no but it’s about the Oxford translator’s revolution…except with magic, and the magic system is based entirely on what gets lost in translation.

    4. Through the Living Wrath

      Through the Living Wrath

      It’s also at around the same time as the Opium Wars. Hahaha.

      its a really cool book

  6. Weeping with joy, I arrive for lunch. I order a French dip sandwich, which reminds me of the joy of the real sandwich. I begin talking Platypus into giving me the sandwich. Subtly, of course, as it would be rude to just ask, especially at a lunch with him and Nerdy.
  7. ooooOOOOoo BYU sent me stickers to tell me their applications open tomorrow

  11. I believe I have missed caterpillar season

    i cannot describe the overwhelming devastation this has wrought upon my soul

    i wanted a caterpillar

    theyre kinda rare and live on a really specific poisonous plant near alfalfa fields, but only for a couple months

    and I was in Paraguay for much of that time

    BUT I REALLY WANTED ONE

    an eddie without a caterpillar is a sorry sight, my friends

      The first two in the secondary update kinda look like marewill flowers but with an extra petal! 
      How did you turn the pressed flowers into jewellery? is it resin?

    3. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      Yep, it’s resin! I did sharpie around the edges because I don’t have the right kind of wire and I’m broke, but I think they turned out so so good

    4. Cinnamon

      Cinnamon

  16. Day two…

    um yes this is going to be a very hard year

    i think I’ll thrive

    but it’s gonna be tough

    i’m in three very writing heavy college classes. Communications, English 2010, and philosophy and values. They’re…uh…something special. I’ve got a lot to learn from the people in the classes and the teacher, and I’m really excited, but with CNA and my college bio class there will be many late nights and weekends inside

    I usually read the moon classical poetry from my roof at night but I fear I may need to start reading her ancient Chinese philosophy

    guys I have 20 chapters of philosophy to read by Monday (they’re super short, but it’s ancient Chinese translated to modern Chinese translated to English and you can tell)

    I also have 4 quizzes and two pages for my CNA by tomorrow. And I need to register for 4 classes through uvu (but it’s $5 a credit which is absolutely lovely)

    I better be a scudding GENIUS by the end of this year

    also I’m the only one from my high school in a lot of my classes and storrrrmmssss some of the guys from other high schools…hehehehehe

      I’m trying something new this year called not hating things or people

      it’s really hard

      i’m a hateful person

      but I think it’ll make it a way better year

    4. Cash67

      Cash67

      She’s retiring from professional hating, we are all safe.

      (and it does make it a better time when you find things to laugh with instead of laugh at)

  17. College applications

    scholarship applications

    writing contests (aka more scholarship apps)

    on a board to help plan Storycon, a writing convention especially for teenagers in Utah which Brandon Sanderson (among many others) is going to.

    new classes

    three campuses

    6 college classes this semester

    CNA program

    first day of school, and none of my classes are at my actual high school

    watched the sunrise from the football field with beautiful friends I never expected to have

    new nails

    beautiful resin and flower necklace I made yesterday

    i have stories to tell

    i have people to meet

    i have a whole world to see

    and this whole world is going to see me, and i dare it to try to stay the same when I’m done with it

    guys, I know a lot of you are struggling. I know there are days when you don’t want to wake up. I know there are nights when you curl up on the bathroom floor, broken in pieces, trying to remember how to breathe, tearing at your hair and itching at the tearstains that never seem to leave.

    i know your ache

    i have sat on that floor

    i have looked in that mirror

    i have imagined the world if all it contained of me was a few words I’d left behind

    i have screamed at the wind and begged the earth to let me go

    and it didn’t

    because it knew that the person I was then wasn’t the person I’d be today

    it knew that there were untold wonders I couldn’t bear to imagine

    it knew that today was worth the hurt it took to get here

    And I know that the person you are now isn’t the person you will always be

    i know that there are untold wonders you can’t bear to imagine

    i know that some distant tomorrow is worth the hurt it takes to get there

    this whole life thing?

    it’s pretty amazing

  20. Day three of being so hot and not around anyone all day

    i should’ve stayed home

    buuuuuut i went to a bakery and got DIVINE macaroons and a scone

    and I picked acorns and made a necklace with them, it’s actually one of the cutest things I’ve ever made I love it

    and maybe I can find someone at hxp. Or at least a whole new group of someones. 

    Speaking of which, Tuesday night I will be disappearing from all technology and going to South America for like three weeks, if you have warnings, prophecies, or assassination plans, speak now. Soon it will be too late.
