  1. There are organizations now? I try to play the viola and fail spectacularly.
  2. I steal your WaT too, then realize I already have a signed copy and return it.
  3. Whoa this thread got longer than the last time I visited So what's up my fellow WIZBIRBs?
  4. Heheheh, having completed my first high school course (Health) I think I can say I'm a part of this group now. Basically, I chose all the advanced classes for my first year of high school; many of them require work to be done over the summer, and in one instance an entire course, because taking AP Human Geo leaves no room in the school year to do Health (normally you take regular Geography one semester and Health the next but APHG is a full year).
  5. I steal the Sandwich viola and run away.
  6. Whoa, I didn't expect that!!! RIP I attend the funeral.
  7. Did I interact with him ever? What threads did he post in? Wait what did his profile pic look like that might help me remember
  8. Wait who was Celloist? Sorry it's been a while.
  9. Yeah, I feel like you should update the list. After all, there are plenty of new, active Sharders out there, and plenty of Sharders on your list who have been inactive for years. Heheheheh
  10. Hardly the "olden days" I think but those are fond memories. What happened to Cuz I'm Bored, did people get bored of it? I don't really pay much attention to RPs unless I get pinged in them so I kinda forgot about it and the other ones I was in.
  11. Well he is pretty cool anyway Hey, hey, what about me? Am I pretty cool?
  12. Me too! I mean, I never left, I just lurk all the time now.
  13. AAAAH GUYS I COME BACK TO THIS THREAD AND EVERYONE'S SAD AGAIN HUGS!!!! HUGS FOR EVERYONE!!!! AND PLEASE HUG SOMEONE IN REAL LIFE TOO BECAUSE IT'S REALLY GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
  14. "You can't just leave the dead bodies out all night! Put them in bags!" "If she didn't know her long lost relatives existed she can't be sad about their demise."
  15. I would be surprised if there was anybody on the Shard who is part of the Silent Generation or earlier, although it is possible to put your birthdate as early as 1875 on your profile, which would put you in the... Missionary Generation I believe? I guess the 17th Shard is prepared in case Ethel Caterham joins (although she is a member of the Greatest Generation).
  16. Wait I haven't been following the Shard for a while when did you become a Tauriel defender?

      4-it's contextually hilarious for her to be ginger if you know the wider Tolkien lore

      5-I really like elves

      6-she gave thranduil a reason to have more screentime, and I'm obsessed with him.

      (rant warning for more serious thoughts)

      Spoiler

      I have spite for (intentional and unintentional) misogynists who use critique of her character as a platform for misogyny. I could go on an angry rant about this, but I hope it's not necessary. No, Tauriel is not a very well written character, but including a named female character in an adaptation of a book that doesn't have ANY is a good, if not necessary, thing. We can change stuff in adaptation if the og has flaws from being a product of it's time.

      In the end I don't even like her that much, I just find myself alone in the fact that I didn't think she was terrible. I liked some of her scenes. I didn't like some of the others. People view media with such a black and white lens these days and it's really frustrating. Media exists that isn't garbage and that isn't a masterpiece, and it's okay to enjoy it and appreciate the good parts. I find myself defending her on principle, for the sake of defending having a nuanced opinion on mediocre pieces of media in general.

  17. TIL that about 25% of the population in Guyana is Hindu of all religions... I'm still kind of confused.

  18. I hope so, but I won't defy the Gamemakers just yet if they don't.
  19. The Greenspine chases after him, pushing him further towards the other tributes.
  20. The Greenspine wasn't happy to follow the Gamemaker's orders, but it wasn't as foolish as its predecessor, the Redspine, was: recklessly joining the tributes it was supposed to hunt and asking another tribute to kill it so that it could further defy the Gamemakers. The Greenspine didn't have the same flaws as the Redspine. It wasn't hindered by foolish emotions. But the Gamemakers didn't intend the Greenspine to be smart, ruthlessly smart. So far, it hadn't revealed its plan. It wasn't about to now. For now, the Greenspine would continue to work under the Gamemakers, until its chance came to escape. The Greenspine rushed at Squall, claws bared, vines shooting to its sides to prevent him from dodging or running around it. The only thing Squall could do was attack, or run the opposite way. Towards the other tributes. @TheRavenHasLanded
