Arachiel

I noticed the Hoid thing when I read Warbreaker (I'd remembered Hoid in Mistborn but not in Elantris), but, since I'd played so much Final Fantasy, I just figured it was like Cid, who pops up in every game but isn't the same person. Go Sanderson, for blowing my mind.

I think Adolin is going to be Odium's champion. Just look at the end of WoR. You can see the seed of jealousy starting up now that his father, his younger brother, his fiancee, and his bodyguard are all Radiants (and now he'll be completely overshadowed). And then he goes and kills Sadeas out of complete rage and hatred (and no honor, I might add). Also, as a side note, I feel like Sanderson is going to make Kaladin and Shallan a couple eventually, and that can only happen if Adolin falls. Adolin was Dalinar's heir, was the golden boy of the Kholins, but now that he's being overshadowed, how do you think he'll feel? Bad, very bad. And that's when Odium will pounce. It won't happen immediately, but you can see it start with the end of WoR.

I just recently finished the first season of Psychopass on Netflix, and I must say, I was really impressed. It starts out like your average dystopian storyline, but the ending is fantastic. The first episode is a little grimy, but the characters are pretty decent people to each other, and the villian is a really good villian. I really recommend it if you're looking for something exciting that doesn't take too long to finish (though season 2 just recently came out).

Well, as implied in the Letter, he seems to be against Rayse/Odium (and actually trying to take action against him), and anyone who's fighting against anyone named "Odium" can't be that bad.

Just found this on Coppermind under the Sliver page: Vin avoids Hoid in book 3 after she held Preservation briefly at the Well, which makes her a Sliver (or once a Sliver). So, at this point, she can sense that certain people are different in some way, though of course, she doesn't know anything about "Investiture," slivers, or shards. So, she has this sense, which she attributes to her intuition, and because of this, she avoids Hoid. Does that mean that Hoid himself is a Sliver? Expanding on what Mistborn_Jedi said earlier, this may also mean that the other person who had been looking for Hoid with Galladon and Demoux may be a Sliver as well. I'm not sure how long-distance that "sliver-sense" would be. I agree with what Mistborn_Jedi said, though, that Demoux and Galladon, one without atium, the other so far from Elantris, probably aren't too extraordinarily powerful unless they've obtained some new level of badassery since the end of their stories (which we have no way of knowing right now). This could be a possible answer to how those three are tracking Hoid despite his ability to disguise himself.

I wasn't sure if someone had done this already (as I looked through the forums and couldn't find anything), but I used Harakeke's handy list of Alethi glyphs taken from Thaylenah symbols (found here: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6487-thaylen-and-alethi-glyph-translation/page-3) and used them to translate part of one of Nazh's maps from Words of Radiance. Unfortunately, it offered nothing especially insightful in this case (but maybe on a later Stormlight Archive illustration). There were a few things I didn't know how to translate, though. For example, the two words near the top left look like lth kr, but I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. The word on the banner near the bottom right looks like rthrn. The words next to the blue castle look like zttrd flns, and the blue word that shows up a few times in the water next to "danger" looks like zfwrkt. Does anyone have an idea? I think the symbol for z might be wrong, but if it happens to be, I don't know what it's supposed to be. *Harakeke also noted that the compass rose says "Urithiru" on it.

Does anyone else think that Aimia seems more 'out-of-symmetry' than everything else on the map? Maybe connected to the superstition surrounding the Aimians?

Sadeas might end up doing some damage to the Kholin reputation after all since Adolin just murdered him and is now going to try to hide it. What's going to happen when people find out? On the other hand, I wonder what this action is going to do to Adolin emotionally. Despite the fact that he probably feels justified in killing Sadeas, he still knows it was dishonorable and wrong to do it the way he did. It'll probably make him somewhat guilty and we'll probably see him having some emotional issues in the next books what with that coupled with pretty much everyone he knows being a Radiant while he's not (I think there was a statement about that near the end of WoR, how now that Shallan's a Radiant, she basically outranks him and he seemed pretty shocked at that realization or something to that extent). Also, of course people are going to find out it was Adolin who killed Sadeas, but so far in the story, Adolin's been the golden boy of the Kholins. Now, Renarin's a Radiant, and Adolin's going to be seen as a murderer. Meanwhile, Kaladin doesn't seem to hate Shallan as much as he once did (and now they're both Radiants). I wonder if that'll be affecting Adolin in any way...

Who else likes Sket Dance? I've only seen a couple of episodes, but it's hilarious.

You have a DeviantART page? Let's start a VinxElend fan group!

Oh, no! That's sad On the other hand, for anyone who hasn't seen Angel Beats, watch it. It's fantastic, way better than I thought it'd be. Also, has anyone else seen Pandora Hearts? I just finished the anime yesterday, and it was really disappointing

Wait, what? I'm right in the middle of the manga right now. Do you mean the anime was cancelled before they started it up or that the manga stopped being released? D:
