*Adds a pile of sugar to the pie* "What? No..."

*throws muffins at everyone* *makes a large muffin punching muffin so that people can beat up the muffin and not other Sharders*

A few pineapples rolled suspiciously into the room.

An excellent job, important too! MOON PIE/10!

*rubs hands* "An excellent collection, Symph! Tell me... what type of wood is the wood pie? Pine? Oak?" *picks up a salt pie* "@Shining Silhouette, I found the perfect flavour for you!"

This gets a chuckle out of 10. Excellent memes, my good man!

"ALL of them!" *happy noises*

*shrugs* "I have no idea! He just pulled a lightsaber on me ha!" *giggles maniacally* "How many flavours of pies do you have?"

A sweet blessing to the blind And a hope hidden, unseen

I think we have properly befuddled the Lord of Languages with the swapping of pfp's! Now is the time to conquer the Shard! YAHH!!!

"Uhm... do you actually want to fight? I kinda want to remain vice president. That or be the official Sketchy Sketcher of the Initiative!" *drops down the to ground* *holds out hand* "Friends?"

AYO FACEPALM DAS SO COOL UR ART STYLE LOOKS AWESOME BRO!

Ah, but you see, you have not met nice cats, then. Either that, or they can sense you see them as an inferior species and have taken precautionary measures to make sure that you change your mind

Oh, this thread is so sweet! I have a few happy places too... If I need to wind down, or I'm stressed, or just plain overloaded and need a place to take a breath, I go to my room. Yeah, a little weird, I guess, but I'm blessed enough to have my own room - a place where I can be safe, and not be bothered. My bookshelf sits there, loaded with tiny worlds that I can pick up, enter and explore. The most wonderful moment is when I close the door, and curl up on my bed with my cat, reading a book. The feeling of rough paper between my fingers, the smell of nature through my open window, sunlight streaming down to light those precious black letters, the soft purr of my sole companion, and the beautiful worlds in my mind is just a wonderful experience. The simple comfort is like a warm embrace from a friend, telling me that I'm valued. Merely meeting a new character, falling in love with the story, the world, the twists and turns... it brings a small light of joy into my heart. My other happy place? Music. Be it a song that I am listening to, or that I playing on the piano or flute, there is something... peaceful. The moment when you finally finish a piece perfectly, or find the rhythm that you have been struggling with for so long... there's a calm serenity, and yet an excited discovery. Sometimes, I discover a song that I haven't listened to in literal years, and when it plays... the nostalgia flows across me like a warm blanket, surrounding my soul in the peaceful pleasure of rediscovery. Music with lyrics that connect to me - sounds that flow through my veins, and yet fly about with vibrant colours, bring me a simple joy. And the final happy place? Art. Be it painting, or sketching, or drawing, just losing myself in what I am creating is a wonder and a joy. The moment when you sit back from a long session of sketching and find yourself smiling despite your failure to draw, or when you glance at your hands and find them stained in blue paint... those moments are my happy places. Not a place, but a moment - a deeper connection to something deep within me, a creative spark or a smile. A precious gem, twinkling in the golden light, or a tiny kitten mewling - those moments are pure happiness to me. And there, in those moments, a happy place!

I am a shade! BEWARE, MORTALS, MINE GREEN EYES BREAK THE RULES, PREPARE TO DIE!

Welcome to the Shard, comrade-in-Sanderson! I have a question for you... If Hoid gave you a box of kittens, what would you do?

That was one of the purposes of starting this thread! (and that perhaps we can friend each other on Duolingo but that could cause privacy issues lol)

OoooooOOOOoooooo awesome!

Oh, cool! Jay's lookin' stylish, bro. I've already done a sketch of Eliira... but if you'd like to sketch her, you are very welcome to do so

And words scribed to paper With wishes so carefree

Bruhhhh I mean yes but no but yes Cool sketchies, tho! Pretty cool!!

Eliira walked over to where Jay had fallen asleep, then settled onto the floor next to the chair, placing her back against the wall. She studied her hands, then took a deep breath and focussed, creating another woodblock in her hands. Then, she began methodically scraping away layers of wood with her dagger, carving the wood calmly. Zirn'rii zipped over to her and settled onto her knee, forming into his dragon form. You see? You pushed through! "Yeah..." Eliira sighed. She glanced towards Jay's chair, then huddled down further, her carving speeding up. "But being near these people... it... it just..." The tool slipped from her fingers. "It reminds me... of them..." She shook herself and picked up the tool again, accidentally dislodging Zirn'rii in the process. He zipped up and landed on her shoulder, humming a low, calm tone.

Shhhhh we're not supposed to know! Every Sharder not doing Duolingo is being used as "inspiration." We must be cautious not to alert the Lord of Languages. (Also, Shadowed, I'm adding you to the Squad!)

"Uh... I'm pretty sure that's not allowed." Eliira said. "Did you hear the part about murder?" Zirn'rii zipped over to Fadran and twirled about happily.

*giggles maniacally as the CIA turns into a pie* *burns steel and pewter* "MMMMM YUMMY METAL" *brandishes lightsaber*
