Hey y'all!
So... you may have been wondering why I've disappeared for a few days...
Yeah the Shard's blocked at home and I have been banned. Wheee
Therefore, this is the last post I'm gonna make on here for a while. So I would like to say thank you!
Thank you all for your support in my art and my writing - it has really meant a lot, and has helped me grow and improve!
Thank you for being such an awesome community! It has been a joy to hang out with y'all and cause cHaOs.
I apologize to y'all in the RP's and Sanderson Elim games - @The Wandering Wizard, you have full permission to do whatever you like with Telrao. She is yours now.
It has truly been a delight and an honor to be with y'all! Until we next meet:
May the sun shine upon your face
The wind be at your back
The path lead you to whatever place
That brings you the joy you lackI LOVE you all, and hope our paths shall meet again! Blessings

Welp, I'm back, y'all!
I had an epic 3 days on youth camp! I drove (at the wheel, ofc) down to Phillip Island. We hung out a bit, then did a Great Race around Cowes (in Phillip Island). One of the items was to bring back a live seagull, and if you did, you won youth camp (no teams managed it, but we were so close).
Anyhow, we had several bible study sessions throughout the three days, looking at the Story of God - from Creation, the Fall, to Redemption and the Promise. It was pretty good!
I got buried up to my neck in sand and was turned into a sand sculpture - so that was great! I also turned into a five year old at the beach before that and was running around like a maniac. Excellent times!
On the last day we went to a highropes course - which was epiccc!! Why do humans enjoy almost killing ourselves so much? Anyhow, got to help a couple of friends conquer their fear of heights - so that was awesome!
So yeee! 'Twas an epic trip, had a lotta fun, learned a bit about God, and got to hang out with friends! Woot!
Have a wonderful day, everyone!

So funny thing happened
I went driving for the first time in several weeks - which is fun!
It also happened to be SUPER RAINY! Like, it could compete with London rain, it was that bad. Funny thing, it was also my first time driving in the wet. Yay.
I managed not to die, but SOME PERSON pulled out RIGHT IN FRONT OF US as we were driving at 80kph
In the wet
I had to slam on the brakes and swerve into the other lane to avoid t-boning them. Fortunately, there were no cars in the other lane but STILL
PEOPLE THESE DAYS AHHHHHHH
Oh yeah, I'm over halfway though The Shadow Rising! And AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I also wrote another poem just then... so yeee apologies in advance *wince*
SpoilerDreaming
With a light touch, as a feather
white and clean, bright and soft
sweet and smooth, eyes open
to a world full of light.Warm impressions caress,
thoughts spin like pinwheels.
I see so clearly here and yet
all is fuzzy, indistinct.Drifting, like a leaf on the breeze
Hither and thither, this way and that
Thought to thought, memory to memory.
Reality seems distant, within hand’s reach.The sky is blue, now purple, now pink
Shifting colours that blend
Like watercolour, delicate and soft
Bright and vibrant, life-filled.Light fades to grey, bleeding
darker, deeper, darker, deeper
I’m falling, falling, falling
down and down and deeper.Blackness surrounds, slips
closer, creeping and salivating.
Fangs, sharp eyes glittering, claws
tearing at my heart, my mind, my soul.Fears, doubts, voices
Scream, howl, quarrel-
My own voice, screaming
As the water closes over me and-With a breath, I jolt awake
The nightmare now a cold sweat.
I breathe slowly, sit back,
Watching the sunlight grow.OH OH ANNNDD I'M GOING TO YOUTH CAMP ON WEDNESDAY
WHICH IS GONNA BE FUN
WE'RE GONNA LIKE BE ON THE BEACH AND MADE SAND SCULPTURES IF THE WEATHER DOESN'T GO APOCOLYPTIC BUT Y'KNOW IT'S FUN ANYHOW
SO YEAH
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY, GUYS!!

Hey, y'all!
I finished The Dragon Reborn yesterday and duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude that was SO AWESOME AHHH
I'm now about 1/4 of the way through the Shadows Rising... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEMSYEMS *excited noises*
I also wrote a slam poem randomly... 'cause why not.
It's pretty... chaotic? Is that the right word? In case you're wondering: Yes, I am fine. I am mentally stable, so please don't be concerned with what I wrote!
It's quite long, has not been edited, and is in a very very rough format. So apologies in advance!
SpoilerWithin Me
My body is taut with emotions.
Colours flash across my vision,
Roiling red and yellow, orange and violet.
Thoughts snap at each other like hounds
Chasing each other around my brain.
I fight to control them, to chain themBut they slip away, screaming, howling,
Fighting a war inside my mind.
When will they stop? Stop clawing at my brain?
I can feel a pressure building in my temples.
I press my hands to the sides of my head
But it does not help.A soft voice asks if I’m okay,
A different one screams anger and fury.
So many voices, so many emotions
So many impressions, crowding together.
It’s getting harder to breathe.
Nothing is helping.One part of me screams to run
Another to face it and fight.
The two sides quarrel and argue
Push and shove, yell and shout,
As I stand there, frozen.
This does not help at all.I open my mouth to plead
Scream, shout, whisper, anything
But no noise emerges but a croak.
A drop in the sea of words,
An incoherent murmur I cannot understand.
It… it doesn’t… help…The voices reach their climax
A deafening cacophony of chaos
A whirlwind of impressions,
memories and thoughts and colours
Howling for my attention.
Inside, I scream with them.“Listen! Why don’t you listen?
Speak! Speak up! We can’t hear you!
Why don’t you run! Flee! Flee!
Fool, stand and fight! You are a woman!
Grow up and stop blubbering!”
This. Does. Not. Help.Then, just like that, all is silent.
I strain my ears, blink,
And breathe a ragged breath.
In the silence, I hear a whisper
A voice different from all the others.
“Hold on,” It hums, “You’ll be okay.”I take another breath
Feeling a warm, peaceful glow from that voice
The warmth grows, flowing throughout my body,
Washing away the stress, the anger, the doubt
And I feel a strength, if faint, fill my soul.
A peace beyond understanding, glimmering
Softly, a hopeful murmurWithin me.
Thanks y'all for being such wonderful people! Have a wonderful day!

Hey y'all! Random stuff cuz why not
I sang backup vocals for the Easter Sunday service this morning - and I didn't get nervous! Like, at all! So that was awesome
Finished book two of the Wheel of Time! The Great Hunt was SO GOOOD but not as good as The Eye of the World... but I've just started The Dragon Reborn, so we'll see what happens
Also panicked because I realised the books I borrowed aren't gonna last the two weeks of holidays so... haaaaaa
Vitamin Sea by Owl City makes me so happy! Here it is:
(Owl City is my therapy I LOVE his music)
SpoilerI also baked some Resurrection scrolls! They were very yummy... and also had some apple pie... mmmm
ANYWAY
Happy Easter, everybody! He is Risen!

Four is my second favorite, so far. My favorite is The Dragon Reborn because of [spoilers] [spoilers] and [spoilers]
The Great Hunt and The Dragon Reborn go by REALLY quickly compared to The Shadow Rising. But 4 is still incredible. It's the first book wherein Robert Jordan was really able to show the truly enormous scope of The Wheel of Time.

Welcome to Random Thoughts with Telrao! Your weekly dose of Insanity is here!
I have figured out what I am going to name my children! (If I ever have any hehe
)
Firstborn: Raoden/Sarene
This is because Elantris was the first Cosmere book I ever read and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Secondborn: Amphisbaena/Spensa
Amphisbaena (yes I did spell it correctly the first time) is cool and I could call him Amphi. Spensa because SPENSA is an AWESOME name and Spensa herself is a fantastic character!
Thirdborn: Kaladin/ Lyn
KALADIN!!! Need I say more? And Lyn because the name is COOL!
Other names:
Adolin, Dalinar, Elend/ Shallan, Torena, Marasi
Any thoughts?

What’ll you do when they start reading the cosmere?
None of the characters I have selected have died (yet)
I think they will be proud of their names!
Quote... Emergency protocols ...
... will be absolutely hilarious...
QuoteI'm hoping your firstborn is a boy, and your last two are girls
Honestly, yeah. I want a child named Raoden. Such a cool name!
QuoteThat's a beautiful list!
Fantastic taste
*bows* why, thank you!
QuoteWhat'd you do if they never do?
Then I will sit them down and force them to read/listen to the books, or play the audio books in their sleep.
Even if they are adults -

I wrote a poem! (wow totally unexpected whoo
)
This one's a bit... deeper? Darker? Than the other ones so uh... yee.
Hope y'all enjoy!
[Spoilered for length]
SpoilerHollow Wholeness
What is this fear, that lingers
Deep within my heart? I feel
It building, with cold fingers
Squeezing my soul, the warmth frailAnd fading in the face of this onslaught.
Folding in upon myself, crumpled,
Broken, fearful, angry, distraught,
Afraid of the pain, I pleadWith the voices in my mind.
“Stop screaming, stop shouting!”
They continued to yell, blind,
To my pain, horror, and suffering.When I turn to my friends, hollow
Comfort is all I receive. “Smile,”
They say, words oh so shallow,
“It will all be fine in a while,“Don’t whinge,” They scoff,
“What right have you to complain?”
They sigh, turn their heads, brush me off,
Oblivious to my pain.I walk in shadow, head bowed
Beneath the weight of my fears.
The smiles I give are a shroud
To hide my weakness and tears.Who will help me with my burden?
Who will lift me from the dirt?
Who will push back the dark curtain?
Who will speak comfort to my hurt?A distant light on the horizon
That glimmers and glitters weakly.
It whispers for me to hold on,
It will come – it’s what I’m seeking.A glimpse of hope among the fear,
A soft touch in the night,
A voice that whispers in my ear
Gentle hope – and wonderful light.Have a wonderful day/night/ time! Y'all are awesome!

Oh boy, the last coupla days have been just a little chaotic - on Friday I had Youth Unite (Loud but wonderful at the end) and had to get up at 6AM to get to a wedding (which had fizzy drinks!). So that was fun!
So... this week I have a lotta stuff to get done, but I'm thinking of joining a Sanderson Elimination game sometime after next week. If y'all have any suggestions on what kind of game to play ect, I'd be extremely grateful!
