Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

first, sorry i haven't been active. second, THE OWL HOUSE FINALE-HOW COULD THEY DO HIS TO US *cries*

and third, i'm at the beach for a week! so i probably won't be active but that's not much of a change. i also get to share a room with my favorite cousin this year instead of my older brothers, which is awesome. and we're going to play d&d. my character's name is raine, they're a gnome and-a bard- look it was not my intention to make a gnome version of raine whispers, they have different personalities and i only noticed it after choose my class and name-

I am weird, exhibit A: I will rant for a half hour that the first five books of percy jackson are highly overrated especially compared to the later arcs (and will probably die on that hill), but can still recognize even the tiniest reference and remember practically every line of dialogue.

Kane Chronicles are also way underrated but I agree with the general population that Heroes of Olympus falls flat compared to the others (still a great series, but the finale was underwhelming).

OH MY CHEESECAKE YOU GUYS I JUST REALIZED. Vin from Mistborn (by Brandon Sanderson) and Nico di Angelo from Percy Jackson (by Rick Riordan) are basically the same person. (SPOILERS AHEAD FOR BOTH!!!)

Vin: Short

Nico: Short

Her brother, the only person she loved, died.

His sister, the only person he loved, died.

Dead mother, father doesn't care she exists.

Dead mother, father doesn't care he exists.

Goes through a character arc where she starts off scarred, abused, and mistrusting, then gradually begins to realize that good people exist, then finds a home among her friends. 

Goes through a character arc where he starts off scarred, abused, and mistrusting, then gradually begins to realize that good people exist, then finds a home among her friends. 

Of a small group of powerful people (Mistings), she's one of the extremely powerful ones (Mistborn).

Of a small group of powerful people (demigods), he's one of the extremely powerful ones (child of one of the Big Three).

Is more powerful than anyone (characters + the fandom) thought she would be. (Was as skilled after a few months of training as Kelsier was after two years, pretty much single-handedly stopped the koloss attack on Luthadel, killed the freaking Lord Ruler)

Is more powerful than anyone (characters + the fandom) thought he would be. (Summons armies of the dead, pretty much single-handedly saved everyone at the battle of Manhattan, shadow-traveled the Athena Parthenon literally around the world)

Fell in love with a really sweet guy, and then spent the next book quietly panicking she wasn't good enough for him.

Fell in love with a really sweet guy, and then most probably spent the next book(s) quietly panicking he wasn't good enough for him.

They're practically the exact same character!

Am I wrong?

You've got my interest, I wanna check this out now! (Never read Mistborn, but sounds cool :0)

YES. DO IT. READ MISTBORN. I SWEAR TO THE PATRON GOD OF BOOK NERDS THAT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I'm only on book three (of six) but it is so. Freaking. Good. The first book is part heist and part revolution, and the second is basically just a bunch of noblemen alternating between internally screaming and (somewhat unsuccessfully) trying to run a kingdom. It is glorious, and I can only assume it gets better.

like if you wanted to write a book you could take the nyc high school applications process, infuse it with magic, and then there you go that's it that's the plot

*continues stressing about high schools*
