  1. For a couple days now, the sun has been rising early enough for me to see it before diving in the subway tunnels. I missed that.
  2. What does this meal taste like? I did it myself! I... never thought you could use a fire extinguisher for this kind of thing.
  3. Yes, in 10 languages. I can actually speak 2 of those, and make simple sentences in a third one. For the other ones I just know a couple words (and one of those languages is dead anyway.) Bonjour, hello, guten Tag, buenos dias, bom dia, buongiorno, salaam aleikum, ni hao, zdrazstvouitsié (or something), salve. TPBM doesn't want to go in class.
  4. Hello again, I'm back! I haven't been here for a while, so what about a quick life update?

    Last month has been... more of the same. Old and new demons, more and more work, more and more stupid school administration, more failed interviews for my internship. But also some fun times and laughs with friends and family, good books, good movies (go watch Dune if somehow you haven't already), and slow reconstruction work.

    Speaking of books, I have finally gotten my hands on copies of Tress and Sunlit Man! This means that I am caught up with the Cosmere, for the first time since TLM released. You might see me occasionally in the theory boards now. 

    How about you? How's been life treating you recently?

      Hiiiii!! I feel this so much…I’m good for the most part, very tired and feeling a strange and wistful sort of peaceful happiness.

      Thanks!! I went to a masquerade ball and decided that masks are so storming FUN. 

  5. Now I've read Tress and Sunlit, I'm gonna give my thoughts here. (4: Frugal Wizard. Haven't read that one, probably won't for a while. From what I hear, it will probably end up here anyway because I don't see it top the other SPs.) 3. Sunlit Man. Really great, but I felt that we had too many holes in the main character's story to fully appreciate it. It might be improved with later Cosmere releases. Also, the permanent breakneck pace made it exhausting (which I guess was what he was going for, but wasn't exactly what I needed right now.) Again, great book, but not my favourite. 2. Tress of the Emerald Sea. Banger from end to end. I fell in love with the characters as soon as they were introduced, the worldbuilding was incredibly cool... Pretty much an instant favourite for me. Best read by a crackling fire, or with a blanket if unpractical. 1. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. Just as Tress, an instant favourite. Some of Sando's best character work with Yumi and Nikaro, cool worldbuilding, a nice plot with a brilliant climax... But what inches it ahead is how much I connected on a personal level to Nikaro's struggles. Even though my brain is whispering me that Tress is the better book, my heart and my vote go to Yumi and the Nightmare Painter *whispers* Everyone. I think he's watching
  6. Granted. You forget about everything you remembered prior to this. You now know you have a math homework to do for tonight, but you don't remember to who give it back. Or what name you should put on it, for that matter. I wish for a rational school administration.
  7. Reading this was quite the experience. Keep up this way, you're awesome
  8. Proof: He's called "Child of Tanavast" by the Stormfather. Theory: The Rosharan kandra is Chiri-Chiri.
  9. Are you sure you're not the rational part of my brain? Because you sound exactly the same. Jokes apart, the work has been done.
  10. First, I haven't interacted with you yet, so welcome to the Shard! I haven't finished TOTK but you know all of that is just surface-level similarities, and/or incredibly common tropes that existed waaaaay before WoT? Like "Age of Legends" well there aren't an infinity of ways to call a very ancient golden age of which there are only legends left Similarly OP legendary swords are not something WoT invented (cough cough Excalibur), and the Flame of Tar Valon and the Dragon's Fang are just a yin and a yang. Same for ouroboros, it's an incredibly common imagery for anything cyclic. And for the Dragon Reborn - there are no actual dragons in WoT, it was just a surname. This is entirely a coincidence. (I'm not sure if you were sarcastic. If it was, well sorry.)
  11. Wait this existed for a week and I didnt know about it? Well, hello fellow procrastinators. I should be doing my project thing for tomorrow morning (it's night here) but instead I'm on the shard.
  12. False, Europe is a part of Italy. Roses are red and violets are blue.
