  1. I do disagree with this - while they're separate attractions (that happen to be in the same direction for many people), that doesn't mean every instance of sexual attraction in a book is devoid of romantic attraction as well. For a lot of us weirdo allos (and some aspec [asexual or aromantic spectrum, for our learners in the thread] folks too!), there are instances where sex or sexual attraction are inherently romantic, or where primarily romantic attraction does have a sensual element to it. In a lot of these spicier books, it is still romance happening. Heck, a lot of pure smut has romance in it, despite it not being the focus of the genre. There's also a marketing element as to what kinds of plots or tropes readers might expect to find in romance books. That's a tangent, sorry, I like talking about this stuff. Ever since I figured out I wasn't ace anymore a few years back I've found it all kind of fascinating. Humans! Your explanation was good
  2. I think it definitely could work, and Brandon might very well do it at some point! I don't think it'll be first or instead of adaptations, though, especially when steps are already being made on that front.
  3. 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.
  4. I would guess that just not all of his predictions are actually relevant to the story we see, and some were just Brandon having fun. I don't think the Mistborn reference was a prediction that came true either.
  5. Captain they've declared war they've declared war we are DOOMED. On the bright side, the distraction seems to be working?
  6. Published books, though - I'd look more to them for precedent, and at the stuff already on the Coppermind, but then I don't know what's on the Coppermind in this area. I don't know what would be best for the last one...I'd lean more toward a label like General or Multiple than Narrator, myself. Feels more wiki-ish? But I don't know if there's actually preferred terminology XD
  7. There is an R logo: Dunno if there exists a file of it off the shirt, though.
  8. *whispers* pssst, Captain, the propaganda campaign is going great, everyone totally thinks we're coming to destroy them instead of to steal all their gelato, but also I think it may have worked a little too well because they also think we're all-powerful and I don't know how to live up to that expectation, sir, what do we do
  9. I think I'll pass, but thanks for offering! Best wishes to the darker-haired cult
  10. Unless you're spamming a whole bunch of messages at them, I cannot imagine anyone would ever be upset at being genuinely wished a happy birthday. We're going for approachable, not "too scary to say hi to".
  11. Do other books have narrator POVs? I would not do that myself, the narrator isn't a character, just a slightly distanced voice. I'd say they're Jerick's, Frost's, and the last paragraph...multi? Dunno. Question for the Keepers on how they'd do it, maybe.
  12. Oh I love the cat in your banner! Are they a canon character or an OC?

      I've gotta do a reread at some point, I've been collecting all the books mostly secondhand and it's been a few years. I'm behind on the last couple series as well 

      He is great but I will admit I liked both his siblings better on my first read 😅 mind reading is just so interesting to me

      Jayfeather's powers are pretty cool. Its so sad that Hollyleaf died immediately after coming back....

      She should have had powers.

  13. It's a theory floating around, but hard to say for sure if this is what Dragonsteel's doing - running a theme park is pretty different from their current wheelhouse but maybe?? I definitely think the land around there is where they're building their events center.
  14. Moved to General Brandon Discussion since this is a more for-fun thing. *takes off mod hat* Also, it's pulling from the inferior wiki, down with Fandom Wikia
  15. I don't know how doable this is, but the pop-up has been bugging me too, honestly. The accidental mouseover is constant.
  16. Oh nice, I hadn't noticed the video. Cool stuff!
  17. Its code has always been ph34r - if you type that in (the same way you do in Discord) it'll pop up too.
  18. To be clear, I don't think her life being genuinely in danger excuses all possible behavior! But I think it does account for a good chunk of it. You're also making me want to reread now XD
  19. The quiz first gave me Willshaper, so I went with that for the TWOK campaign and decided to be a Willshaper for a while. The next time I took it I got Lightweaver. My personal choice would be Skybreaker or Skybreaker-Willshaper combo, and I went for Skybreaker stuff this time around. Been a while since I last took the quiz, curious what it would give me now...
