Inconceivable!

Film Ideas: - The Robot vs. Humans stereotype, but the 'Robots' are just people that live with VR headsets all the time now. - A world where there is a way to travel for short periods of time to an alternate dimension where you basically live through a scenario in someone's shoes. Like mind meld and it's like they are making the same choices that the same person was making so that they can perfectly understand what someone went through.

@The Halcyon Girl has reminded me over the past few days how terrible i am at chess beware everybody

AAA- GUYS! SO- TODAY I WENT TO DI (Deseret Industries) AND I FOUND TWO BRANDO SANDO SHIRTS!!!!

song lyrics running through my head... so fun... *sigh*

oh... i guess i won the day thx guys luv u all ~ stick

To me what makes the most sense is the Radiant and Spren becoming kinda-sorta one being. (Unsure exactly to what extent that is, if it's just "incredibly in-tune-with-each-other partnership" or if it's "This knight's cognitive aspect *is* their spren. They are one and the same now.") The bond is two-way, so the final realization of it should be important for both the spren and the knight. For the spren, the big benefit is being able to exist in the physical realm, and this kind of bond would be the ultimate manifestation of that.The benefit for the knight would be passive use of the surges, like we see spren use, and like we see fused use. I also do think that yes, this makes it as difficult for the knight to break their oaths as it is for spren, because now they are their oaths

What's this? A poem?

Favorite lines from the scene so far: (consider this a very vague, rubbish teaser lol) ( @shortcake, @The cheeseman, @Experience, @Edema Rue )

They're ADORABLE, I love them. YKYASW you have spent hundreds of dollars on your Sanderson collection and it's theoretically worth thousands?? (Book collecting is wild, man.) When there has been a magnet of Shallan saying "I am plotting tax evasion" on your whiteboard for like a year. When you met some of the people most dear to you in the world on this website.

*cries* you guys this nightmare is going so horribly idk if it's just my writing brain but like maybe i just need to read it out loud-- OH MY CHASMS WAIT I HAVE A LITTLE SISTER *GASP* SISTER SOUNDING BOARD TIME, LET'S GO i'll try and post by the weekend lol, i want it to actually be decent when i put it up xD THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE LOVE Y'ALL <33333333333333333

Ok, tomorrow is the day! Have an amazing few years everyone!

*inhales* I'm a bit better... I went oUtsIdE!! and I made a flower bouquet.. and a poem! Poem will be in writing thread (linked in about me ) and flower pictures are here! There's something pretty to brighten your time Love y'all thanks for stayin' with me in the hard times. It means so much. ~ Stick

I am new to Brandon Sanderson I am reading the way of kings.

Neither, both have their flaws. Who’s your least favorite president?

Correct reasoning!! I was born in the state of California, but my parents and grandparents wanted me to be a Texas kid. So my grandmother came from out of state with a sealed test tube of Texas soil, and got permission to place it underneath the operating table. Hence the phrasing.

Hopefully you move up before Szeth shows up for book 5...

A massive geode at a museum. Can you tell me what 2+2 is?

HOLY SCUD that was epic but terrifying ALSO I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO WRITES DARK STUFF LIKE THIS--

im starting to slowly translate this arcane language

I captured the Gingerbread man. We have a hostage!

Much thanks! I did in fact forget, and this is very helpful!

probably in a dark corner of your backpack What's your horcrux?

Last night was pretty bad. Really bad. I'm better now. And I won't share what I wrote then.

Alright, it's rant time. Subject: Super Mario Bros 2, among other names. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Got it completed and turned in. My next project was writing the code for a recurrent neural network to analyze HVAC data and make temperature recommendations. That one was a headache and I've been working on it alone for two days, but I'll be graded on quality of work and thought process, not completion. That was due yesterday and I submitted it. My next project today is fix the family bicycles and study for my final exams on Thursday and Friday, which thankfully I don't have to stress about. If I did my math right, I'll still pass even if I only get 50% on them. Oh perhaps, but even procrastinators can eventually get things done. Despite being a rather consistent procrastinator, I'm about to get my Bachelor's degree. Sure, I'm getting it 5-8 years after the rest of my high school class, but I'm still getting it (COVID put some huge detours in my planned route). In my case, my degree is in a field that wasn't even taught 5 years ago and my college still hasn't updated some of their webpages to acknowledge that it's a field of study. Not every time, but sometimes taking the long scenic route still can have things work out, since I wouldn't have been able to even study what I ended up studying.

Trogdor the Burninator!!!!

Now that I've been slowly easing my way back into writing, would anybody be interested if I posted some snippets here and there for some light feedback? And if so, should I start a dedicated thread?

I think it can still have merit to the degree that as his bond increased, the number he could draw did increase (Some in the Chasms learning in WoR, More fighting Szeth (after third oath), even more turning the Highstorm Winds to protect the captured humans, etc. )it's just that they were not being pulled from Shadesmar, but from the environment (and were therefore a different group each time - until he was able to form Plate). Well, with a possible side of "Some Surges are limited by the level of Oaths." (such as Skybreakers cannot access Division until the Third Oath) This, of course, relies on the interpretation that Squires (whom are First Oath - without a bond) are "borrowing" the Third Oath abilities of their Radiant; which is distinctly different from First Oath Kaladin in WoK, and partly different from Second Oath Kaladin in WoR.

Sorry for the double post. Poem! (because you do apparently have to suffer to write.) @Edema Rue had something really profound to add to this. Eddie, dear, will you kindly repeat what you sent me?

Asylum gaped at the radiant. A few snickers came from the crowd. The radiant wasn’t bad, they were quite good, but there was a reason Asylum had held the ring toss record for 5 years. Asylum grabbed two rings and threw them at the same time. After five double throws, the score was calculated. A perfect 30. “Better luck next time.” They said with a grin. ”And the newest ring toss record goes to Asylum Smedry!” Lucky said through a microphone as the crowd roared. “Thank you, thank you.” Asylum said with a grin. “You are all so kind.” The KHMD Carnival was the only yearly festivals Asylum thought was worth keeping. Competitions of skill, practice, but most importantly luck were played by all, and as long as Asylum kept up their annual display, the owners gave them a cut of the money. “I choose the high hitter.” Asylum announced. Walked over to the large vertical poll. The Koloss Head Munching Day high hitter was quite unique. Instead of the normal bell at the top, this high hitter had a comically large Koloss head. It also allowed more range of scoring because of the Koloss head’s varying volume based on the force put in. “Hammer please.” Asylum said, holding out a hand toward Lucky. The forger perked up with glee and grabbed a large wooden hammer. Thank you Lucy. Asylum thought as they started to spin the hammer for added momentum. Once it was going fast enough they took a step forward, and as the hammer fell down they pushed a small hidden button on the handle. Suddenly the inside of the hammer head changed from hard wood to lead. The weight in the pole shot up and hit the Koloss head. The yell that came out could be heard by most people in the carnival. The crowd roared twice as loud. Quickly Asylum pressed the hidden button again and handed the hammer to the radiant. “Let’s see you try.” @Lunamor @Scars of Hathsin

Ah, makes sense! This gave me an idea. What if you added 1 breath to a piece of laminated paper? And maybe you could put different symbols, like I dont know, the faces of past Monarchs on them to denote higher value paper? A completely original idea, I know.

* B l i n k s*

wow. auto correct got me there however, you hyphenate it, and also when it's a vowel you leave the vowel and add "yay" so I becomes i-yay whereas point would be oint-pay

I read that as "Threats and injuries" lol

... im so sorry. that sounds horrible.

ig-pay Allomantic tin-lay

cough cough should be studying for a test

I think first whoever was making the movies would probably have to do one of the more cinematic books(Like TFE*) and then do that. *I really think it would be hilarious if the first book to be adapted was White Sands.

You're gone for now, but come back to a slew of BIRTHDAY wishes!

Possible, but also note that Syl, who repeatedly mentions how much she does not like Deadeye Shardbaldes has never remarked on any Plate before this point. And it was not a lack of exposure, since she was around Shardplate from before Kal's first Oath (Sadeas wearing it on ever bridge run). Also, Kal never heard dead plate scream like a Deadeye blade. Also, WOB about Bonds with non-sapient spren: Granted that is a different (but possibly related bond - since we know Plate also has a bond), but it seems to imply that non-sapient spren pulled into the physical realm are just generally. . . content to be where they are.

I'm legitimately thinking about going 30 days without internet, as the detox is much needed to help me kind of reset as I'm averaging 10-12 or even more hours online everyday. The only thing that is making me think twice really is that I won't be on hear at all during that time. Which...I know I can do it, but I really wanted to do the next hunger games and some SE and random interactions with y'all are always the best. I mean...it is only 30 days, then I'll be back...for a few weeks before I'm gone for two months...and then college. Sigh. Hard choices, but I think I need to do this... we'll see ig.

They would not be benefited at all. They can't use Stormlight, Stormlight doesn't "fill" metals. Metals are a Scadrian thing, Stormlight is Rosharan. Unless a Feruchemist is also a Surgebinder and has a means of unkeying Stormlight - which is hard as nobody ever did that - they can't use Stormlight in combination with their Metallic arts. Lots of WoBs for you:

Odium/Toadium- I win this contest of champions!!!! Dalinar- NOOOO!!!! A blazing white figure fell down from darkest skies, like a falling star, like the heralds from Tranquiline halls. A brilliant Shardspear gleamed brighter than the sun, brighter than the day ever saw and his body scintillated with hundred thousand pinpricks of light, like stars illuminating the blackest night. His eyes smoldered as the birth and death of star, brighter and brighter until pure white energy wafted over his skin- Almighty's true essence. And when he spoke, it wasn't Stormlight that puffed from his lips. Kaladin (giving some signature pose) - I.....AM.....HONOR! The Stormfather grumbled in surprise- Oh, damn....I have been missing that all along!
