Mistborn

Posted 21 June 2012 - 07:01 PM

On tumblr I sometimes stumble across people's liveblogging reactions to Mistborn, and most of the time they're pretty funny. And then I feel bad....
BUT ANYWAYS, this is one of the best reaction post series I've seen:
-Final Empire
-Well of Ascension
-Hero of Ages

Some of my favorite quote:

"IS THIS THE END OF ORESEUR SKJFKSDHG CRYING OVER A TALKING DOG THIS IS MY LIFE"

"wow you guys weren’t kidding when you said things only got worse, huh? hahahahahahahahah hysterical sobbing"

"Oh great now I’m attatched to Human. Just kill me."

"be extraordinary at job. get ritually killed and controlled by evil force. there’s just no winning sometimes."

"i’m glad vin is feeling peaceful cause i’m broken inside"

Anyone else have awesome reaction stories?

I read "attracted" instead of "attached" there. Damn you brain. I think I broke myself.

The rest of the reactions are hilarious. I hope this person does WoK also.

I read these and thought "Oh man, I should follow this person on tumblr."

So I scrolled to the top and it turned out I already do.

It was a great feel.

I recall from an earlish episode of the RPGBacktrack podcast one guest describing the Mistborn series as something like "the repeated use of 'Nice Job Breaking it, Hero' before things finally get better." (for the characters. He loves Sanderson's books.) Certainly not as amusing as those comments on Tumblr.

That's pretty much how it it, though.

A website error has prevented me from upvoting this post, so I must reward you on breaking me as well.

Perhaps that's not a behavior that ought to be encouraged.

EDIT: Also, "I AM GOING TO EAT MY CURTAINS NOW AND CRY ON THE FLOOR" is basically my instinctive reflex to everything.

Ah, yes, I was looking through those a while ago. I should look at the newer ones as well.

ALSO, she has completed Way of Kings as well :D
There are a few posts for this one.
Her first one was basically:
"30 pages in The Way of Kings and Brandon is already blowing my mind and making me feel inadequate.

Well done, sir."

"THIS IS SO GOOD I JUST LEAPT FROM MY BED AND STARTED HITTING THINGS IN MY APARTMENT"

I think I did something similar to that the first time I read the part in question. :P

Seconded. I got to the, "oh I'll just move this closer to the sun...", and cracked a rib.

P.S. I did shout "what the REDACTED" on a train once at a part in Hero of Ages. Can't recall what it was but everyone was looking at me.

If I'm listening to music at the same time I tend to giggle at funny parts... loudly. That can be awkward when I realise the guy sitting next to me has moved.
