  1. Thanks so much for doing this, we're working on adding a summary as well as GM intros to an intro post!
  2. *even more extreme anger* Summoned her in three ways...you were angry, I was mentioned, and I read your member title.
  3. Slide another plate

    Onto the bar

    That I struggle to lift.

    Add another ten,

    Twenty,

    Thirty,

    Forty.

    I’ll get through it.

     

    Heavier weight,

    Makes for stronger muscles

    Even if it hurts now

    And they’re sore for days after.

    The forge

    Melts the metal.

    The hammer

    Shapes the sword

    His vision

    Overcomes the imperfections.

     

    And between sets,

    Between blows,

    Between pains,

    There are moments of peace.

    There are times to laugh.

    And if now

    Is a time to cry,

    Then let the tears flow

    Let them soak your shirt,

    Your pillow,

    Your heart.

     

    But keep living.

    Laughing

    Does not demean your pain.

    Smiling,

    Does not mean your hurt is worthless.

    Moving forward

    Does not let others down.

     

    Growing

    Doesn’t have to mean 

    Forgetting.

    Remember

    The pain

    Remember

    The forge

    The hammer

    The love

    In your Maker’s eyes

    As He shapes you

    Into His child

    His tool

    His servant.

     

    Do not

    Be overcome

    By the plates

    On your bar.

    Do not

    Be afraid

    Of the hammer

    Coming down.

     

    There is a moment of rest

    Just around the corner.

    There are lights

    In every dark place.

    There is laughter

    Through the deepest of sorrows.

     

    And the pressure

    The worry

    The anxiety

    The to-do’s

    The lists

    The failures

    The hopelessness

     

    They

    Are not all

    That you are.

    Spoiler

    So...on top of everything else happening this month, my mom got surgery today, which means I also need to make sure our animals (and my siblings) get fed and watered, and the house stays clean and in order, and a whole host of other things.

    But do you know what's strange? Despite all that's happening right now, I have hope. And I know that many of you aren't Christian, aren't even religious, but I believe that that is the power of God.

    Hope.

    The ability to see light where there is none.

    The ability to smile as you cry.

    The ability to...well...to think celestial, even when your day to day life is determined to grind you into nothing.

    I love you all. And if you ever need anything, be it advice, laughter, a friend, or a poem for you, I'm here. And so many others are too, even when you can't see it.

    Keep breathing, okay? Keep what hope you have and let it grow. That's what makes this life so beautiful.

    One family.

      Do you mind if I share this, Ruey?

      Pain, when working out, at least, is weakness leaving the body. And hope is from the peace of God, our rock and our salvation.

  4. Heehee we're actually working on that (@Lord Spirit, thanks for suggesting it) we just also want to put in a little bit about who the GM's will be for the next games, so it'll be a few days as we're figuring out characters and the like.
  5. *hugs back* *blushes* Thank youuuuuuuuu she's so much fun to write, I love her too.
  6. Well...that's why it hurts so much now (this probably hurt me way more to write than you to read because I know their full stories). She and Ien dated, they were lovers for a little while... *cries*
  7. I LOVE HER SO MUCCCHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT TO GIVE HER A HUG SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH BUT SHES SUCH A MONSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *hugs back squishily* Heehee that would be fun but no...I have other plans for Mari >:3
  8. Thanks guys!! It means so much that you guys read my lil words
  9. Write about a character who doesn't believe they're evil. It doesn't matter if they are or not, but they see themself as good.
  10. <333 Always. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. *hugs* Love you too <333
  11. Thank you all!! I really enjoyed writing it Tomorrow:
  12. ~_~ Thaidybear...someday, I'm going to find you and attack you with a shardfork.
  13. Woah, that looks incredible. Nice job Wittles!!
  14. More inquisitors were coming now, 6 including the one holding Rue. "If you die here," Rue said, "I'll never forgive you." Or myself... "You need to tell the clinic what's happening here before they spread." The inquisitor stuck his hand over her mouth, and she bit at him, but he wouldn't let go. She concentrated, and a gateway appeared behind TAAron, to the shock of the guests. Then, with a wave of air, she shoved him through it, letting it snap shut behind him. *** In the mess hall at the clinic, Tal glanced at his watch. "Oop! I'm on break now. See you guys later." Then he popped out of existence. @Aeoryi @InvisibIe
  15. Rue struggled, but the inquisitor held tight. Even as she tried to blast it with Air, it held on. "Get out of here," she hissed.
  16. Rue winced and pulled away, looking it in the...ah...spikes. The inquisitor grinned. "Found you," he murmured, grabbing Rue roughly by the arm and reaching for TAAron.
  17. "I suppose that isn't the strangest thing I've-" Rue cut off as an inquisitor stepped onto the dance floor, the crowd scattering and twittering as he walked towards them.
  18. Rue shook her head, her smile fading. "No...light, he must be in a side room..." There were, however, noticeably more inquisitors. "Can they...can they see?" Rue asked.
  19. Rue stiffened, and moved hesitantly at first. I am Rue Sedai of the red ajah, she thought, somewhat incredulously, and I am dancing with a man. A man with power... "It...is," she agreed, letting out a small breath.
  20. "I don't carry knives," Rue replied, taking his hand. And somehow...against everything I've ever believed...I think I trust you.
  21. Rue found herself smiling back, a little more naturally now. This is absurd...we need to protect the clinic, and other worlds, and...and... "It...can be enjoyable. Occasionally." She stepped onto the dance floor.
