  1. I second both of these. My thoughts were a Scadrian in Silverlight due to the specific Ironeyes reference and "Worldbringer", though with the other references wider Cosmere knowledge is kinda a necessity. Also consider him name-dropping Sazed to provoke a specific reaction (shock at his blasphemy) from a Scadrian, and never referencing the Kandra as a "Kandra" as the audience would know what he means.... It's Demoux, isn't it. (No reason behind other than Worldhopping Scadrian, just a crackpot theory) Also: Sanderson if you kill Design I will NEVER FORGIVE YOU. Design is precious. (Though he could just be omitting her as to not spoil any part of KoWaT)
  2. Thus, I return. It's been a while. Who is Lucinda? Granted, you may smack Lucinda. However when you do, the offending appendage will fall off, come to life, and start smacking you. My wish is that my friends will actually like and understand the books I read... *cries*
  3. So I was reading some WoB recently, and I found this nugget: What if, and forgive my drunk theorising here, the Hoed are Elantrians who become the Ire?
  4. Granted. Here's your unoriginal bane: You must watch this video up until 0:14; Then you will scream the Wilhelm scream and then die in a Death Star trash compactor. I know they're different movie franchises but I'm a New Zealander so I'm allowed to use Lord of the Rings alongside any other movie. Deal with it. I wish for the ability to have more original banes.
  5. Not going to ask... Granted. The sentient raccoons become obsessed with the taste of human flesh, and go to your house and tie you and your family up. They eat your family alive in front of your eyes, and when they are done they will open up your insides and make you eat your own guts. But they will keep you alive, and they will eat your limbs and your body untill the only thing left of you is a still-alive head and a bunch of vital organs, attached through spindly veins and tubes to your head and somehow keeping you alive. You cannot move, and all you feel is pain. You will never die, and will be left like that, a head with vital organs strewn out in front of you, for the rest of eternity. All because you wanted sentient raccoons. Your family and you are the only ones they will be able to eat before they return to the realm of nonexistence. I think I may need help. I wish to be transported to the Elder Scrolls universe, with full Thu'um capability, maximum mage and warrior perks, and a merciless mission to slaughter every single Thalmor within the world of the Elder Scrolls. Such a good thing surely does not deserve a bane, right? Right...?
  6. What if... what if the Alethi blamed Kaladin instead? Sadeas was killed before Kaladin flew away (which could be suspicious) and Kaladin's motives for the murder could be revenge for the bridgemen... Shoot this theory full of holes if you want...
  7. @bdoble97 Have you considered commissioning your artist to do Nale/Nalan/whatever? You need a "bad guy" and I suppose at this point he counts as one... Maybe even Jasnah?
  8. Not sure if this has been thought of before, but could the Heralds be the literal children of Honor and Cultivation? Just throwing it out there. ..
  9. Granted, you now speak High Imperial. ONLY High Imperial. You can still understand English but you can't speak it or ever learn to speak it again. To everyone else you will sound like you are speaking gibberish, and you can't teach the language to anyone. Your bane? You loose your tongue and voice box. I wish to have a great evil cackle.
  10. Granted, you will read Oathbringer.. 30 years after it comes out. Your bane is that you will never again read a Brandon Sanderson book (aside from Oathbringer), so the book has no context because you will have forgotten everything about Brandon;s books in the 30 years. On the plus side, maybe a book written 30 years before 2047 will have some monetary value... or perhaps not. I have 3 wishes: 1. I wish to be a billionaire with a luxury mansion 2. I wish for immortality and eternal youth 3. I wish for 2 creative banes that nullify the boon. Have fun...
  11. For me, Brandon is a great author, but I can still read other series and they won't feel inferior to Brandon's books. The writing styles are slightly different but that doesn't make them worse. The thing that works best for me is the ideas in the writing, and this is where my favorite authors (like Brandon) excel. Another favorite of mine is Bernard Cornwall. Though he doesn't write fantasy (he writes historical fiction) he is one of my favorites. The Last Kingdom series has in my opinion a great setting, a great idea, great characters and a style of writing that suits all three. Christopher Paolini, whom I'm sure has been mentioned many times, does his thing really well. I know his storyline seems cliche but he puts a bloody brilliant spin on everything. His characters have a unique depth to them and things that seem simple are a lot more than they seem. Here are my thoughts. Don't shoot me please. EDIT: Oh damnation. I just realized that I necromanced this post. My apologies to the thread underworld.
  12. Granted, you get a pet lifeless squirrel that used to somehow be a Steel Inquisitor. Your bane is that it continuously says "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" at the most awkward moments. I wish for everyone to expect the Spanish Inquisition!
  13. *reads this post* "Kill me." "Later." Please someone understand this reference
