Fair enough.
Just thought I'd mention that, since it is called Sharder One-Liners, I believe its original purpose was to document quotable things said on the Shard. However, thread purposes can change so keep doing what y'all are doing lol.

*do written things count as quotes?
That's......what the vast majority of these are. Usually things said irl aren't included unless they were said by Sharders.

Well, just watched the episode myself. Spoilered for obvious reasons.
Ngl, I was just a tiny little bit disappointed with the roles of Belos and the Collector. I was so storming excited when they revealed the Collector as the villain. Hyper powerful eldritch god with the mind of a child is such a good concept for a villain. But nope, it was Belos again. He also became a bit boring in season 3. I feel he was a lot greyer before, but they turned him fully stereotypically evil at the end so there was a villain to kill. His last scene was almost cool too but sigh, they had to go for the "humiliating the villain in his last moments" cliché.
The Collector was great though, I love how he learns about human emotions. I just wish he had been the villain in full and that realization had happened as the climax.
We got closure for almost every character and it was a good one. I'm honestly impressed they managed that in under 3 hours. Although, uhhh does anyone remember what happened to Amity's mom? She didn't appear at all but maybe she died on episode 2 and I forgot? I thought it was a shame because she was an interesting character and you can sort of see she cared about her family, but along the way those feelings got mixed up with her greed, and everything went to hell. It would have been nice to explore that more instead of just, kicking her out of the show.
Man, that last revelation about glyphs was good. Sort of FMAish. Like sure, you can master magic theory, but where do you think all that energy is coming from? And there it was. I loved Papa Titan, during the 2 or so minutes he was on screen he was everything I could want from King's father. Gosh, I want more of his character.
Animation was great. The corruption slowly crawling around when Belos possessed the Titan looked pretty sick.
Ending was maybe too conveniently happy but you'll never see me complaining about something like that. Overall I'm slightly disappointed with how the season developed, but also really impressed the managed to make something good at all with so little time, and happy with the end result. Good show, clap clap. Once again I'm out of animated fantasy for kids. Maybe I'll check out Amphibia next.
SpoilerAmity's mom was there for a second during the reunions, she was just ignored while Amity hugged her dad.
I'm a fair amount through Amphibia, and I do highly recommend it.

She's amazing and has a lot of tips and stuff but also she's just really funny and has a lot of entertaining videos and stuff, it's just a grand old time. 10/10, highly recommend.

Cause I could use some. Any advice that comes to your mind is great!
Prioritize yourself. Be nice to yourself, because you deserve it. Give yourself time to do what you need, and even when it's hard or you're worried that it might hurt someone else, take care of yourself and set the boundaries you need to set. You can't be there for other people if you're not there for yourself first.

Well, now it's done, but President Nelson's was definitely my favorite by a long shot. I think everyone (including non-members) could get a lot out of it, it was so good.

How's life?
It's going alright! Been pretty busy with school, work, choir, maintaining a social life, and keeping myself alive (adulting is hard), but I'm surviving and I think I'm doing pretty good for someone who hasn't even had a year of experience with adulting yet lol.

Yeah I'm bored so I'm dropping in to win real quick.
...do you ever think about the fact that, eventually, someone actually will win forever? Like this thread will eventually have a permanent last post and that's really weird and I don't like that thought.

I still really like the Halloweeny vibes of your pfp, it's very distinctive and recognizable. Also now we both have witches

I saw Mary Poppins last night. It was AWESOME!!!! The vocals were i n c r e d i b l e and the props and set? Well let's just say Mary Poppins herself would have been proud. I can safely say that it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. The quality it presented at was at was so high that even if the acting sucked I still would have thought it was alright, the acting however, far from sucked. The Banks children were so small yet so good and Bert and Mary, well, the best way I can describe it is practically perfect in every way. I think what really pushed it over the edge from great to splendiferous is the fact that you could tell that everyone was having fun, they put so much energy and life into it you ouldn't help but get engrossed in their world. I have once again been reminded of why I love theatre so much
What makes it even better is that I was having a terrible week, to the point where I would go to the bathroom and cry at lunch and I was starting to feel like I didn't care about anything, not even theatre. Then I remembered I had these tickets and I was worried that my mood would ruin it and i wouldn't get the joy I usually get from performing and watching others do the same. Boy, was I wrong. I'm in no way 'cured' of feeling like cremling droppings, the feeling with come back eventually, it always does, but, it is lesser now. Reminding myself of what I love really revitalised me. I feel like I could take on the world! Or at least my huge pile of homework.
Oh good!!
...my only comment that isn't necessarily positive is that you totally missed the opportunity to say "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" instead of "splendiferous."

Ah, but thou forgetest, “Queen”. I never requested this position that I have been tasked with. Indeed, all I requested was a name. When promised wishes, I sang the beginning into the woods. These did not notice, but canst thou truly find fault in such a thing? My aims were low, my reign, an accident. But this kingdom requires protection, and so I shall give it.
What protection doth it require that I am not capable of giving? Thou mayest not see the good I hath given, but it is there, and I do not wish to accept praise or worship from others for it. Thy reign may have been an accident, but still thou acceptedst the power, and, as Shallan Stormblessed well stated, thy refusal to relinquish the power tis a bad sign.
We are Single Pringles, Not Ready To Mingle, as we focus on taking care of ourselves before turning to another to worship and provide for. Those who were so willing to fall at thy feet and offer wishes were weak, but thou...thou didst not even remain true to the proper lyrics of the song you meant to quote.
Thou didst say "I wish…more than life…more than anything…more than the moon…I wish…"
Any true drama queen would know that the true lyrics to Prologue: Into The Woods are:
I wish
More than anything
More than life
More than jewels
I was initially willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, for 'twas naught but a minor mistake, but thou hast proven that thou art not worthy of even that.
It hath been two and a half years since my reign began. Two and a half years of peace. I hath been given no glory, and I would not accept it, were it offered to me. I am but a humble servant of my subjects. I aim to put myself first in my own life, as I encourage my subjects to do, but beyond that, keeping the peace is my priority. This kingdom requires no protection from one who would accept my subjects' worship.
48 minutes ago, Being of Cacophony said:I said not that she was our supreme being, only that there are many desiring such a thing. If thou dost hide the thread, that creates room for a new one! Then the purpose could change. is that what thou desirest?
If thou decidest to create a new thread, any harms that may befall upon thee would be on your heads. It is no concern of mine if thy own mistakes harm thee within thy own realm. However, as this is my realm, it is my responsibility to protect it.
However, if I lose those I aim to protect, I shall not stand in their way.
I would prefer this thread remain open, and if thou wouldst prefer, thou mayst begin a new thread, away from here, where thou wouldst not need abstain from electing to put one above the many. But as thou art here, thou wilt abide by the purpose in place.

Do we, though? It seems that thou art the only one still standing up for your supposed "supreme being." I would also like to remind thee that I have the power to hide this thread if its purpose becomes tainted. I do not wish to take such drastic measures, but I will, should it become necessary.

Ah, but a true empress must show herself as supreme. Thus it requires an amazing name.
The purpose of this thread is that no one is truly supreme. All that I am here for is to keep things running smoothly and to step in when something such as this arises. If you wish for a so-called "supreme" leader, you may go somewhere other than my haven.

Hey!
I've been writing a lot of poetry and music stuff lately, so I figured I'd share some of it :))
Promises (written more than two years ago)
If I told you I promised I’d always love you
Would you return the words and say you love me too?
And would you promise to stay by my side,
Never alone, with me ‘till we died?
Would you promise anything, or are you too afraid
Of being bound by all the promises you made?
You long to be free, flying high through your life.
Would I tie you down by becoming your wife?
You’d be linked to me, two birds chained together,
Always by my side, always and forever.
A promise is kept, and if it is broken,
It scars your soul, you’re fin'lly awoken
From the dreams you had, the dreams you dreamed,
You’ll find your life to be sadder than it seemed
Flying free sounds beautiful, it’s what you always wanted.
But if you fly alone, the freedom will be haunted.
You say you love me, I know it to be true
Otherwise why would I be here with you?
I have dreams too, things I want to be,
But I would like to be them with you right next to me.
What are dreams if they’re not shared,
What are vulnerabilities if they’re never bared?
If someone knows your weaknesses, they’ll show you your strengths
That might defeat those weaknesses, length by length by length.
Live my dreams with me, I’ll live your dreams with you,
And though I can’t promise life will never be blue,
I can promise I’ll be there if things go south,
All I ask from you is two words from your mouth.
“I promise” is all I ask, two words that mean so much
Those two words, and if we break, we’ll be each other's crutch.
We can fly together, the chain holding us side by side
Will never cause an issue if we put it there with pride.
We’ll build that chain, link by link, completely willingly,
Then fly through life, fly away, fly so thrillingly.
So say those words, I beg of you, I ask of you, I plead,
For, my love, your promise is all I’ll ever need.
I’ll sign a contract, join our lives, I’ll use my blood as ink,
To prove that ours is a boat we'll never ever sink.
You’ll be free, but not alone, we’ll be free as one,
Knowing that our life together has scarcely begun.
Will you fly with me?
Promise me?
Be with me?
Because you know,
I will.
I do.
I’ll go.
Made to Hurt (2 years ago)
I'm broken
I'm bleeding
I'm falling apart
I'm broken
I'm
I'm broken
You have destroyed me
Crushed by your words
Crushed by your lack of love
I thought you cared.
You said you'd be there.
But now
You're gone
But it's fine
I'm fine
Yeah I'm broken but it's fine
Don't mind me, I annoy you anyway
And I really don't have anything to say
Nothing that matters
Nothing but the pitter patter
Of my heart racing
Only you
My thoughts gracing.
I may have a feeling of loneliness and loss
Unrealistic expectations with a mighty cost
I want to be heard, want someone to care
Someone who wants our lives to share
But me being me, it's a hopeless case
A fact that I can't quite bring myself to face
You are you
And I am me
I suppose I may never see
A day where I find real comfort
I was merely made to hurt
Not Lit (2 years ago)
I know that I hurt, and that's it
I feel like ev'rything's been hit
I'm in much distress
An emotional mess
My life right now is not lit
Contradictions (2 years ago)
Uncertainty is certain.
The inability to count on anything is always to be counted on.
Feeling lost is always found.
Impossibility is possible.
Hope (2 years ago)
I felt all kinds of sorrow
No happiness could I borrow
I feel so pained
The terror reigned
I have no hope for tomorrow.
Drown (2 years ago)
I feel broken
I feel like I need to cry
But my tears are dry
They refuse to flow
They're stuck in the dark hollows of my once-bright eyes.
I'm in pain, but it's not physical
My heart aches, a feeling I didn't know 'til now.
My voice breaks with emotion that refuses to show on my face
The tears must be flooding my mind
Because I feel like I'm drowning
I can't come up for air
Because my painful emotions weigh me down
As I drown
I drown...
Drown.
Dragon Lullaby (under two years ago)
In the land of ice and fire
The power of desire
Grows strong and weak,
Bold and meek,
Where strange events transpire
The creatures of fire and ice
Before you know the price
Will draw you in
Adventure begins
More chance than a roll of the dice
Ice and fire cover the land
Impossible to understand
But find the dragons,
Follow their passions,
Then all the pain withstand
They said the skies won't be ours
That we cannot go that far
But on dragon wings
We'll share vows and rings
Then write ourselves in the stars
Depend On You (...year and a half? Ish?)
A house needs a foundation
A tree can't grow without its roots
The earth supports a mountain
And I could never live without you.
Cause I depend on you
And you know that if you need,
You can depend on me, too.
Defied (also year and a halfish?)
Take it in stride,
Not giving up, throwing away my pride
I'll come right out the other side
Cuz way back when, those tears I cried
Come back to now, those tears have dried
And I'm stronger now, roll with the tide
No I won't be defied
Love? (Yearish ago)
How do you love me?
What do you mean
When you say those words?
Tell me the truth
Even if one of us ends up hurt
What if I don't love you the same way
That you love me
When you tell me you love me at the end of each day
What do you mean?
Dino Poem (Maybe a bit over a year ago)
Diplodocus plods along
Pterodactyl's terrific in flight
Stegosaurus is sweet but strong
And T-Rex is all ready to fight
Velociraptor is small and fast
Plesiosaur swims, small tail, long neck
Parasaurolophus' head thing is vast
And Triceratops is cool as heck
Pachisepholosaurus
Certainly lives up to its name
All the dinosaurs that came before us
Deserve tons upon tons of fame
Voyage (little over a year again)
You voyage into the bright light of day
And long to reach that ne'er before sought land
Where bare a touch, and there you'll always stay
And there your thoughts and dreams fore'er expand
It can't be found on map, but in your mind
The way grows clear, you know where you must go
You travel through all things, and then you find
A place wherein all things you somehow know
A place where those you love are always near
A place where pain and guilt refuse to be
A place where you no longer feel fear
And in this place, you'll fin'lly be with me
Come taste my sweet, intoxicating breath
Come have a taste of what they all call Death
Good In Me (pretty recent, end of March)
I don't like my hands
I don't like my nose
I don't like my chin
Or my eyes, my feet, my toes.
There are days when I wish my body was shaped differently
But you help me see the good in me
Ocean (written yesterday) (tw mostly vague mentions of abuse) (not based on true events)
I am the ocean
You are the sand
You think you're the strong one
But I'll take command
I am the ocean
You are the stone
I break against you
But I'll break down your throne
I am the ocean
You are the rocks
You try to chain me
But I'll break through the locks
I am the ocean
You're acting smug
As you pull me in,
Force me into a hug
I am the ocean
You think it's bliss
But my life flows away
When I feel your kiss
I am the ocean
You're kissing my corpse
But the tide will come back
And you'll feel my force
That's all for now, I tried to keep them all fairly in order of when they were written. I'll post more when I write them, or when I find old ones that I want to share.
