Info Dump About Yourself!
Pretty much what the title says. Introduce yourself - favorite fandoms, colors, animals, characters, weird stories, AEs, anything you want. Find things you have in common with other people. Have fun.
I'll go once it shows up.

oh my gosh that entire paragraph from avid reader to stack of unread books to reading on the internet to trying to write to procrastinating is literally so me
okay okay so hold on if you're also a fanfic reader into the Silm and Star Wars have you by any chance heard of EirianErisdar? Ransom of the House of Fëanor and The Silent Song, both by her, are so good and I absolutely recommend them. (@Admins, I'm not sure what the rules are regarding this kind of thing so... you can delete that paragraph if need be)
Ooh okay so what's your opinion on Fëanor? Evil or misunderstood or victim of circumstance or what-have-you?

Hello there!! Ok ok so I have not heard of either of those fics but I found them and are now on my 'read later' list, they both seem really good. I've read SO MUCH Silm fanfic (it's just so good!), my favorite author is definetly JaztheBard, their best works being Jailbird and Archeology. Marred but Remade by SpaceWall is also phenomenal :) Two Stars in Time is also very good (I'm a sucker for Meadhros & Maglor & Elrond & Elros as a family lol)
Ok, so my opinion on Feanor (I'm sorry the e doesn't have the two dots but my computer is weird and it won't let me T~T) is complicated. On one hand, I have a HUGE soft spot for the Feanorians, specifically Mae and Mags and Tylpe, but not really for Feanor himself. On the other hand, I think that he was kind of screwed over by the Valar, you know? Everyone gets on him for the Oath, which was very stupid, but to be fair his dad had just died and his Silmarils had been stolen, so. Plus, none of it would have happened if the Valar had locked up Morgoth in the first place instead of just... letting him roam free? Anyway I think that he was put into a pretty hard posistion and although I don't agree with all of his decisions (*cough* kinslaying *cough*) I think he shouldn't be viewed as the villian of the story. What about you?
I'm sorry, I could rant about the Silm forever XD

UPDATE ITS 1:10 AM AND I JUST FINISHED ALL 97,997 WORDS OF THE RANSOM OF THE HOUSE OF FEANOR IN ONE SITTING AND IM CRYING IT WAS SO GOOD H O W DOES SHE WRITE SO WELL OH MY GOSH
tysm for reccomending it to me <333
(February 3, 2022 - 1:13 am)
THAT IS AWESOME OH MY GOSH I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT
it's one of the best feelings when someone loves something you recommended
IKRRRRR and she said she completely pantses it, like she has a general idea of where the story'll go but not a really specific plan for each chapter and I'm like
how
Anyway EEEK yeah I love it
Ooh I'll have to check those out!! My favorite fanfic author is definitely EirianErisdar, though tbh I read more LotR than Silm stuff... ack but yeah the kidnap family rocks lol
YES and no I totally asked for it with that question XD. I agree, the Fëanorions are great but their dad... not so much... RotHoF sort of changed my mind on him - to an extent - but he totally was a jerk in the Silm - you can only take the Oath excuse so far, there was no call for Alqualondë or burning the ships. But yeah, he shouldn't be totally the villain.

I will make a form to sort my information (just for fun).
Habits: I eat the outside of carrots and then the inside, I get obsessed with certain things and then forget about them after a few weeks, I lick my lips when their dry instead of using chapstick even though it doesn't help
Current obsession: Creepypasta and creepy podcasts
Last obsession: Youtubers and Manga
Things I like to talk about: Video games, creepy stuff, creepypastas
Other things: I am extremely shy in real life, but online, I will talk to anyone and everyone (In real life, if I don't know you, I would probably completely ignore you. And if you tried to talk to me, i would sub-consiously try to end the conversation as soon as possible.), I hate wearing sunglasses and pants in winter other than sweatpants.

YESSSSS CREEPY SPOOKS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!
So, anyway, ever heard of SCP?
(February 4, 2022 - 7:47 pm)
They are like experiments, right? Or am I thinking of something else? I watched a youtuber play with a minecraft mod of them.
(February 5, 2022 - 5:01 pm)
Yea, it's a community that 'reports' on all these strange cases! :]
(February 5, 2022 - 5:22 pm)
What's creepypasta?
(February 21, 2022 - 12:47 pm)
I feel kinda weird about doing this but if I'm being honest I love talking about myself so
this is happening now.
I saw a bunch of people saying that they were tomboys and how great tomboyness is and that's lovely for you, but I am about as far from tomboy as a person can be. I'm very girly, and also I'm not a girl. (Pronouns they/them
)And that is about all I had planned for this so the rest will be spontaneous.
I love reading and writing and drawing and photography (that sounds so official . . . I have a camera and sometimes I take pictures of things that look cool but they always turn out blurry) and I really like words and how they fit together. Currently I'm in english and I finished my work but prooobably I should be working on something else but I don't feel like it so I cam on here. I also really like singing. I am very introverted and probably have social anxiety. I have an older sister and a younger brother. My older sister is Starchaser.
What else? I really like listening to sad music. My dream house is a cottage in the woods with a black cat and two big old dogs and chickens. I've finished one draft of a novel and am hoping to finish the first draft of another by the time this school year is over. I live right near one of the great lakes. I have no friends in school, but I do have friends out of school. Just not in school. So. I'm kinda friendless but kinda not. I sit by myself in the cafeteria. I really hate cafeterias.
I play violin. I keep a diary (I have since I was nine! So that's pretty cool.)
I cannot think of anything else to say lol. I really like amelia unabridged by ashley schumacher.
Yeah that's about all I think I've run out of thoughts to say about myself.
Goodbye!

I can relate to the kinds-sorta-friendless thing. I have friends in school, buuuut... I can't talk to them anymore. Like at all. It's scary, I dunno why. awkward, I can't feel comfortable with them...
(February 8, 2022 - 8:39 am)
My dream house is a mysterious witch hut (like the cottage) on the EDGE of a temperate forest NEAR but not too close to a town. I'd be an apothecary and a crazy snake lady (like crazy cat lady but better XD).

Hi! I'm new but love this place already!!!
I have really weird tastes. I don't like pickles, raw tomatoes, or anything minty. I'll eat salad but only the greens, no dressing, etc. I don't eat chicken nuggets with sauce, I like green apples better than red, I like ketchup but not mustard, relish, or mayonnaise, and don't like skittles but love M&M's. Also I don't drink tea or coffee. Yup, so that's me . . .
I love writing, reading, and drawing, but I'm not so great at math, to put it mildly (*pounds the table in frustration*). I start stories but never finish them. I love fantasy and Lord of the Rings! I'm so scared of public speaking or talking to people in general, like my mouth literally stops working! And also dying and the dark. Actually, what my imagination supplies to come out of the dark. So I have insomnia some nights. Those are long nights.
I used to like school but not anymore. It's just so loud. I was homeschooled last year and that was totally awesome. I love animals so much, especially horses, and will probably be an equine vet if my plans for a writing career totally flop.
Okay, so this probably looks like a stupid question to all you advanced CBer's, but please remember I'm new here: what are CAPTCHAs and AEs? THX!
(February 15, 2022 - 7:59 pm)
Hey Flamarestii!!!
Welcome to the CB! I'm glad you agree; green apples are far superior to red. I am slightly offended you don't like skittles, however. Writing, reading and drawing are amazing and math sucks, and I TOTALLY get the "starting-stories-but-never-finishing-them." Lord of the Rings is AMAZING, books or movies? In terms of anxieties, you and I are a lot alike *shudders* I find it hard to talk to my friends. I haven't gone to sleep before midnight in months.
CAPTCHAS: Those things that make sure you're not a robot. We give them names and sometimes they show up in our comments as we try to decipher what they said. (Mine, Confetti, says "kphfa," and I have no earthly idea what that means...) AEs: Stands for "Alter Ego's," they're parts of our personality that we've separated, got to know and developed into full characters. We give them speaking styles to differentiate. They also show up when we're trying to say stuff.
HEYYYYYYY FLAMARESTII WANNA BE BEST FRIENDS I'M CHAOS AND I LIKE CANDY AND I WANNA EAT CANDY AND WHY DON'T YOU LIKE SKITTLES
Hi... it's Squirrel. Don't you think flying would be cool? I wanna flyyyy like an eagleee...
[I'm Lyn; nice to meet you. I'm scared of death too. Among other things *quietly cries*]
It's Riko here, actually Moriko but Riko's fine. Math problems (badum crash)? RELATABLE-
You can look at other CBer's AEs for inspiration. (Writing especially has super well-developed and great AEs.)
Anyway, welcome to the CB, read you around!
(February 16, 2022 - 9:26 am)
Thanks so much for the help Tsuki! I totally relate to the friends problem! I have these two friends from years ago that I like never talk to anymore but I feel like I still should . . . awkward! About the skittles thing: I used to like skittles a long time ago, but then in grade 3 my teacher gave them to us as treats literally ALL THE TIME!!! So I guess I should be thankful I had such a generous teacher, but skittles really don't seem appetizing anymore!
