'I'm a Stick' Sung by The Stick To the exact tune of 'I'm the Map' from Dora the Explorer

Stormlight Archive is my favorite book series The Way of Kings is my favorite book. no need for qualifications of any kind.

Hoid - he's an information trader

That reminds me of my favorite ending idea for A Song of Ice and Fire The Red Comet impacts the middle of the map, causing a planet-devistating natural disaster, killing everyone, and sending a larger message about the pointlessness of all their scheming and betrayals.

I don't recall calling him Harmony in my theory either.

Not my intention at all. The existence and identity of Harmony is revealed in the letters between him and Hoid. And I hope for all our sakes that none of the rest of that is a real spoiler.

Dalinar takes up Honor He and Taravangian kill each other, leaving Honor and Odium without vessels Shallan takes up both and becomes Sarcasm When Shallan and Sazed meet, the Cosmere explodes in sarcastic harmony

In Rhythm of War, Raboniel mentions that they tried space travel, and died During that she mentioned ( paraphrased ) : " the strange pressures of that place " Do we know whether that's just normal interplanetary space stuff? or are the pressures she mentioned Cosmere-specific? For example, I could see something like a pressure-based storm in space being caused by a reaction between Honor, Cultivation, and Odium at that distance. but anyway, has that ever been confirmed in either direction?

Ok, I can do that It doesn't quite get across the same meaning, but a slightly diluted message is certainly preferable to all this mess. it's not all possible paths, just the most likely one. The future Odium sees is like a highly-detailed snapshot. And I don't think Sanderson did that on purpose. That's why I find it funny. Because the effect is the same. The diagram Odium paints is precisely a projected outline of the plot going forward from that specific moment, based on everything Sanderson had planned at the time of that writing. ( minus the influence of Renarin )

Well this went sideways...

It's all good.

Despite the similar spelling, that's not what that word means. ( not when used in terms of writing fiction, anyway. )

Odium literally shows Taravangian the Plot Outline for The Stormlight Archive. Which I think makes Taravangian's inner monologue about how amazing and deep it all is, the most self-indulgent thing Sanderson has ever published. This isn't criticism. It is, however, hilarious.

That's a weird way to categorize people. Not that I'm gonna stop you from having a club about it. I only said that to emphasize that it was a time in my life when sleep and meetings were the only times I wasn't actively reading Oathbringer.

The Way of Kings is my favorite. it's also the one I took the longest to read. I finished Oathbringer the week it came out. on Audible at normal speed

What do you think the name will be? given the restriction that it has to make the acronym : K.o.W.T. ( symmetrical opposite of 'The Way of Kings' )

Animation, schmanimation. I get what you mean, but the visuals are more than doing their job to tell this story. This story, being easily in the top-10 most well-crafted I have ever been told. The sheer number of times my mind has been absolutely blown by it... Especially after yesterday's episode. My god. I have no doubt that it will be 1 of the central representatives of the art form that people study a century from now despite being born long after most of it has faded from our cultural memory.

Gurren Lagann is my favorite anime of all time. and if you're Brandon Sanderson, it would be yours too. ( all the reasons are massive spoilers )

My favorite Cosmere name is Nodnarb Nos'rednas
