All hail Haly.

SHE WILL BE WE MISS HER

At this point, a squid came and insulted Monty Python. Loudly.

My seminary teacher calls it Jesus class if that helps.

There’s also someone at our school who has the bridge 4 glyph on his arm, i don’t think it’s a tatoo but it’s been there for a long time.

Other fish, causing them to

You don't have a choice. Congratulations, you have now, for the first time, lost the game. @Cinnamon I haven't seen you in a bit, how ya doin?

Well fishes I haven't read that either. I'll add both to the list

He had really cool lasers.

Fadran would kill us, he’s very scary.

BOW BEFORE ME I am a superstar!! A Tarachin one! not actually sure what that is BUT IT LOOKS WORTHY OF WORSHIP!

Yesssssss!! I’ll go read them!!

I’m not insane, criminal, or a child, thank you very much.

I’ve never heard of it, should I read it?

Oops yeah sorry I meant Tredon, I’m terrible at being specific. I think lgbtq relationships can be incredible in stories, but it’s so hard to do them right, especially in fantasy books. I liked the flashback! It’s always interesting to see old dudes when they’re younger.

Nah you’re good, it gave me like an extra 3 minutes of not losing

THE FISH CAME FOR HIM

Yes. Yooo dude I’m right here! Don’t forget me! @Wittles of Shinovar

I lost the game. @Being of Cacophony @The Wandering Wizard @Labyrinth

And so was very dead.

Ooh! That guy was super cool, I’m excited to see more of him. Lgbtq relationships are always interesting in older books. And yeah, don’t worry about editing stuff as you write it. I’ve heard it described as bringing the janitor in in the middle of the party; you need them later, but in the moment they’ll only make it harder to keep going. Super good, though! Don’t stop!

You never wanted a boon, but you get one anyway. You can now turn invisible. Unfortunately, you can’t control it and you disappear at the worst possible times. I wish for really good music.

I wouldn’t play, but my uncle has a massive server that my whole family plays on so I couldn’t get out of it. I can…survive. And I’m slow, but I can eventually get good stuff.

That was good! I liked it a lot. I thought the dialogue was well done, though one thing to point out is that not all of it has to end in a period, commas are super helpful for dialogue. But yeah, it was awesome! I’m excited to read more, if you ever post it!

Ah, Wittles. So much of being a teenager is doing everything all wrong and being someone no one, least of all yourself, likes. And the worst thing about it is that it’s all so extreme, so high stakes. If you fail this class, you’ll fail school and never go to college or get a job and you’ll die alone and miserable. If you don’t make this friendship, you’ll never date, never get married, be lonely forever. And the worst of it all is that some of the things your mind tells you are just true enough that it all feels true. You really will never be enough. You really will have days where absolutely everything you do is wrong. Sometimes you would be completely justified in watching it all burn with glee. Sometimes you might have plenty of reasons to just let go. But justified isn’t the same as right. The choice to keep living when there’s no logical reason to? It’s not justified. But it’s so, so right. The choice to keep trying, to take another step, to breathe another breath, to stand up and push through the endless darkness, even when there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? You have no reason to do that. And it will hurt a whole lot more than just being done. But it is a choice that will help you. It’s a choice you make daily, and every day that you choose life and love over hate and fear and exhaustion is a day worth living. Don’t get me wrong, it hurts, Wittles. It hurts so storming bad. Life will bring you so much pain, but there is joy too, even if you can’t see it right now. And emotions…they are strange and powerful things, especially during this time of life. They are so often completely outside of our control; we are their slaves, more often than not, and being told to control them is like being told to jump off a cliff and expect to fly. A beautiful idea, but completely naive and impossible. You’re human. This pain is real. The fear is real. The reasons are all completely valid. But you are worth saving. You are worthy to live. Sometimes there is no right choice, even when everyone but you seems to be making it. I promise you, the pain does end. Even if it takes days, weeks, months, years and all you end up with is a tiny, momentary smile. There is joy in this life, and you will find it, even if it takes surviving all this. Sorry, that was long and may not have helped at all. If so please just ignore it. Just always remember, you are loved, by us on the shard, those in your real life, and (whether you’re religious or not) your Savior.
