My guys I HATE Multiplying fractions. Anyhow, I am now a mistborn, you may clap now if you so desire. Just feeling a little... a little tense. Math is just... geh. I binge reread books 2-4 of PJO on Monday and started book five at like 10 something o-clock. I finished it today. (PJO=Percy Jackson and the Olympians (spoilers for book four of PJO) The soundtrack for Dark Phoenix is just sweet. The Score's (a cool band) songs push me through the day. So much awesome songs... Sorry if I seem all over the place.

I made some champurrado and it is soooo good! In case you don’t know what champurrado is, it is a Mexican cinnamony thick hot chocolate. Basically chocolate atole. I love it!!! It just makes me so happy! … Until I remember all the stressful stuff, but that is future me’s problem

We just got back to school (I'm in high school) and... I am not happy. I was told by a teacher that this is a prime time in our lives! We don't have to worry about rent or food or other irritating bothers... but then school takes up most of our time and makes it VERY HARD to spend more waking hours in school than with our families. What if we only went to school one week out of every two? The teachers could condense all the homework time and wasted moments to teach two lessons' worth. But no. Instead, everybody thinks this formula should be reality (and it mostly is nowadays): School=1/2 childhood waking hours What a societal mistake. (If you wanna read more rants on this subject, I will enclose a document as soon as I can for your perusal. Make sure to cite your sources!)

Alright cool, I will take this back to Mod HQ and we shall let you know if we need anything more from you. Again thanks for being so willing to work with us it’s really setting an awesome precedent for the era

Never fear! I do have art today! Day Eighteen: Scrap Here is Sierra Satrebil from my other series Keyed.

What do you call a footnote by a pre-calculus teacher who works part time designing the scenes for movies? A set-builder notation!

Alright, I didn't have time to do much for today's, but I think it's still cute. Upon thinking of "salty/thrill," my mind immediately went to the ocean. So that's what I drew. And then I decided a wave was too boring so I added a cute lil sailboat cuz sailboat aesthetics are *chefskiss* So enjoy Salty/Thrill also I feel lonely in here so please reply even if it's not even about my art

Had a good day playing live Hungry, Hungry Hippo. Got a headache afterwards, but it was good. I enjoyed it :)) Day 17: Salty

Whoa I think I got hacked Lemme know if you see any other random images in my posts. I'll be changing my password and stuff for the time being.

Look what I just drew in FireAlpaca!

MAN. It’s been a great day today :DD Day 18: Scrape

Hey, I'm thinking of sticking with this pfp or going for something a little more in tune with my username (but won't spoil anything about Thaidakar). What do you guys think about this one? I think it kinda fits Thaidakar from Insanity Clinic. And, any suggestions about a more Thaidakar-y pfp?

Best costume idea: Adolin and Shallan. Bonus points if the guy is blond(like me) and the girl is red-headed(like my gf). See where I'm going with this?

Day eighteen: friend.

I'm willing to bet the Set may have been involved even earlier than this, but we get a couple of hints as to the timeframes for when Edwarn and Miles first got involved. Here's Miles from AoL chapter 17 (which takes place in Scadrian year 341): Can't say for certain that he fell under Trell's influence at the same time, but supposing he did that would put it in 331. That's around the same time that Edwarn went into hermit mode for a decade. Here's Wax confronting Mr. Suit in the AoL Epilogue: That faked death occurred in 340, so going back a decade gives us the Scadrian year 330. So that's 10-11 Scadrian years ago. Converting between Scadrian's Earth-like days and years to Roshar's 20-hour days and 500-day years, that would be between around 8.7 and 9.6 Rosharan years. I believe that Brandon has said that all of MB Era 2 takes place in the 10-15 year time gap between the front and back half of SA. Assuming that the contest of champions (which is slated to occur around mid 1175 on Roshar) is roughly the end of the front half, then Miles began to plan the train robbery and Edwarn went hermitlike around late 1165 to late 1166 on Roshar. That's somewhat intriguing because a number of big things happen on Roshar around that same timeframe: Shallan starting to bond Testment, Szeth being named Truthless, first contact between the listeners and the Alethi, and Axindweth giving Ulim to Venli.

Maybe Harmony wants Wax to spike himself with Harmonium and Trellium so that he can have a conference with Wax and Trell.

Day seventeen: errand. Posted late on accident, made while listening to Words of Radiance.

Insomniac poem v2 I wonder why I cannot sleep And then I realize: I'm listening to Warbreaker So it's not a surprise. Perhaps I should stop listening, Sink down and close my eyes. Yet as I climb the plotline slope To continue, I decide Insomniac poem: limerick edition The thoughts racing through my head, Lore thought up in my bed. Frankly, I'm certain That I ought to close curtains But my mind demands to be fed.

When you see something that says “ metallic markers” and you think it says “metallic arts” and you start freaking out thinking it is mistborn themed art supplies (it was not)

Yalb, definitely Yalb. If you don't remember he was the sailor who help Shallan in WOK when visiting Kharbaranth originally. Think he would be a fun radiant and buddies with Lopen.

Honorspren are direct children of Stormfather, so the bond with Honorspren have a more direct Connection to Stormfather than other spren. Beyond that, acceptance and any oversight of that acceptance should be different from spren to spren and what the bondmate experiences with that acceptance should be different, as well.

*sighs deeply* I am a lump. I have so many things to do or that I could be doing, but I just feel so unmotivated right now What should I do to make myself feel more motivated? any advice?

"Don't you agree, my friend?"

Another image released. I am guessing this is Odium's champion. Edit: Interesting could this be Ishar's Honoblade?

Everyone is assuming Wayne owes people money, but I think, for two reasons, that the situation is actually reversed. The reasons: Previously, Wayne invested money with and in the work of Sophi Tarcsel, who is the equivalent of Nikola Tesla's daughter, and who is likely doing very well in this modern age Dramatic irony - nowhere does Wayne say these people are after him due to him owing them anything, and everyone else is just assuming that he does because of his past habits Wayne doesn't owe people money, people are trying to track Wayne down to give him money, as a return on investments. This also might explain why he hasn't been as big a drain on Marasi in terms of metal nowadays, but that is a side issue. The bowler hat people, contrary of the beliefs of those around Wayne, are there to give him money due to his financial backing of Sophi Tarcsel's business.

In the most recent minis kickstarter update, they announced a mini for a character called Zellion. My best guess is that this is El, the Fused we briefly see at the end of RoW. If it is a Stormlight character like I assume, they certainly look like a Fused. What do you think?

Actually, I cussed and the Shard automatically changes any cuss words to cosmere-appropriate alternatives. I have been listening to the Stormlight Archive a lot, though.

You could say they're as close as friends as two lone wolves are who rarely see each other. In other words they're respectful of each others presence. I love these drawings though.

General stormlight (row spoilers) General sanderson stuff, no spoilers and one that describes this thread

Happy Birthday @EmulatonStromenkiin

Cassandra gave a sad smile. “It could work. It’s more on the track I was looking for. But I don’t know how much of me is human anymore. I’ll pay for the comission on the glove though,” she added, removing the strange enhancer and fishing in her bag for the right mark. ”This planet has so much… there has to be something. Somewhere.” She was in denial, still looking for a perfect bargain. Even still, that surprised her. She’d never been one to follow a rigid pattern of how she reacted to things, even after getting the Soulcaster. She hadn’t felt angry at her diagnosis. Just… stunned. In denial. Then straight to bargaining, trying to find a way out. There was a way out. Hang up the Soulcaster. Take whatever enhancing devices Technotic had available, whatever connection she would need, and live the rest of her life as a simple Lurcher and blacksmith. Sell the Soulcaster to the highest bidder, bury it, break it, cast it into Shadesmar or some lost Alley. Get rid of it. But she couldn’t. She still wanted to bargain. And the project was the only offer left. ”If you have designs for how those fabrials work, I may have another way to power them. I could pay for that as well.”

When you see the letters SF on a sign for the library and your brain automatically translates it to ‘Sanderfan’ until your friend goes “ sci- fi, huh, that one’s new” and then you feel like a complete idiot. also when one of your friends gets an earring ( I swear it looks exactly like Vin’s!) and you go up to them and say “ nice Hemalurgic spike, don’t trust any weird voices that you hear in your head” completely forgetting that this dude hasn’t read Mistborn and being confused at the weird look he gives you

Pg1 This is just a personal note, but Ar and Ae’s names are similar, which might become a little confusing. Not a major deal though. “New England” I think these adjectives might be in the wrong order, not sure though “70’s” that sounds like a nice play to live! I think it should be typed out “seventies” though. “barely looked” in what ways does it not resemble a door? This may have been mentioned in an earlier chapter, but I’d like to know how. Is it the wrong shape? Does it blend in with the wall? I like the description of the tailor! Ironic that they would wear rags IMO “neutral party” that’s an interesting detail Pg 2 “food and pencils and” I think one or both instances of “and” should be removed “charge for” smart thinking Pg 3 I like the bartering so far. It’s interesting. “everyone wore gowns” That sounds like an awesome ball! Now I’m imagining a severe faerie lord in a black gown or something “they queen” the queen? Pg 4 “unicorn Pegasus” missing commas “the you would be right” then you “Granted” I would remove this word and just start with “most” They have been gone for hundreds of years?? Interesting “knowable” not a fan of this word. Maybe something along the lines of “all there is to know” “slipped away” relatable “they thought remembered” They thought they? Pg 5 “C glared” didn’t C just remark on how harsh Ae was being? This seems about the same level of harshness Pg 6 “Very east to commands” Very easily? “They fae often switch” The fae? Also, I think that this idea is interesting. It definitely feels like something a fae would do. Pg 7 “they live for, like what” I would end the sentence after “for” Eavesdropping is one word Pg 8 I like how the steeds are telepathic, and I imagine that it is probably pretty annoyed with A, considering that it probably views flying as mundane at this point Pg 9 “circled through the forest” I would have thought circle above, since they are flying “a leaf-wrapped oat bars” remove “a” “their but” their butt Oooh, that is a very nice hook for the next chapter! I glanced through the previous two chapters but didn’t read them all the way through, so I will avoid making too many notes on the overall story so far until I’ve done that. That being said, I found this chapter to be interesting! I liked all the little details about faerie and the culture of the fae, and I am excited to see a story play out in this setting. I’ve always like the mix of fantastic legalism that fae seem to bring to stories, so I’m excited to see how that plays out. I’d personally like some more details about the surroundings and sensations throughout the chapter. For instance, I noted the door above, which is described as not looking like a door. What makes it not look like a door? Does it blend into the wall? Is it oddly shaped? Does it have leaves and flowers growing out of it? Are the rooms and hallways nicely furnished, bare, made of wood, or stone? What does the stable smell like? Does it smell like manure, or does it have a different faerie smell? What exactly is so exhilarating about flying? Are there any unique features to the landscape other than fields of flowers and forests? Do they look different from forests on earth? Do the sun, sky, and clouds look the same? Anyways, I’m sure you get the idea. And, admittedly, the previous chapters could have had some of those descriptions, so I apologize if that’s the case. Still, I would like to have a little more physical description. Looking forward to reading more!

When in chemistry all you can think about is actually knowing how alkaline metals (Harmonium) work.

It could be Melaan.

Hey grey knight, the mods have been talking and given that none of the moderating team has any particular exposure to 40k we don't believe we could effectively moderate such characters or easily make sure they were accounted for in any plot discussions. Furthermore, adding lore to the AV should not be done by saying that you were here first and thus it is so. We all gotta play nice with everyone and seniority doesn't give you any extra authority. Given that this would be the third time W40K stuff has been introduced, and that its never really seen any larger adoption by the AV as a whole, we are, unfortunately gonna put our foot down and say that we aren't going to have it in the AV going forward. We are really trying to make an effort toward being more collaborative and group focused (see the announcement thread for that stuff), so we really want to emphasize collaboration and group RP with any new additions. Sorry to disapoint.

Exactly! Doesn't have to be a wind runner. Don't know if he would fit there, but I want a Radiant Yalb.

YES! and we know he survived due to Rysn’s novella

I'm looking at the bowler hat people, and I think that Wayne might be helping other people out of trouble rather than being in it himself. And the Set is obviously trying to sneak a bomb into Elendel.

This is a limitation of Regrowth specifically. In Radiant Healing (Radiant, Squire, and Honorblades) as well as Gold feruchemy, the only perception involved is the person's own Self, nice and direct and Internal. But in Regrowth, it's weaker and also the target is External so both the Radiant and their Spren's Perceptions are likely to get in the mix.

So I am fully on Fused Blackthorn, but then I thought that would be the end result of the contest of champions for awhile. Zellion sounds like a Fused title to me, and that profile looks more human than Singer to me. What I love about this design is it gives me Vader vibes. Tall, dark and foreboding. I would push back on that being Ishar's blade, due to the length seemingly closer to a Sprenblade than a Honorblade. Though it being the Blackthorn with Ishar's blade is metal as hell, giving the Blackthorn bondsmith powers even if something happens to sever the bond with the SF

I think that if there existed a second clandestine group serving Trell, the Northern Set would not have to study the crashed Malwish ship in BoM so hard: they would have allies in the Southern continent to share the tech. Unless, of course, Trell keeps them both unaware of each other for some reason

I don`t think it is a foreshadowing, just showing that he is a little Steris - the heights and the way he plays with his soonie-pup really feels like Steris (the "spending time with wayne" is not but I guess that he got also a some part of Wax).

It was explained in the annotations; more specifically, this one:

I mean, it's possible, but I think that the guy with immense power that you thought was mute and couldn't use it bursting into the room you are in suddenly, yelling at you to stop, glowing in all his glory, and clearly being mad at you would provoke such a reaction from basically anyone.

I always recommend Brian McClellan. His Powder Mage series is really good and I actually liked his second series Gods of Blood and Powder better (set in same universe can read first but better if you start with Powder Mage). He was a student of Brandon's also.

"Err... riiiight. I'm going to have to administer a shot now..." "NO! NO SPIKES, AGENT OF RUIN!"
