Bowiespoon Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 If you had to create a sanderson-esk world, how would your characters say when their bosses fire them, when they walk into a coffee table, stub their toe, or just want everyone in the immediate vicinity to know what exactly they are thinking?

Left Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Buggrit -ing Whoops, never mind, Sir Pratchett took those already Mmmm, in all seriousness... I mean it depends on the shard and shardworld I guess, but I think swears related to food could be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashan’Elin Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Aonic swears have some interesting possibilities, maybe with Reo (punishment), Sheo (death), Ire (age), etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 You holder of Ruby! By the Diamond's Fragments. I'm working on a cubic planet, with magic systems sort of based on gemstones. Actually, certain gemstones I have acting like Shards. I had the basic idea for this before I discovered Sanderson and realized it was like Mistborn, the Cosmere, and a bit of Stormlight Archive.

Quiver Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm kinda batting two ideas for fantasy worlds around. One is a naval-based setting; lots of islands, fleets, that sorta thing. Not sure on swaers for it though. Storms would have been great, but I hear somebody has already taken it... The other is using this culture which believes horned/antlered creatures are sacred. So thinking of using "Tines" as a curse word equivalent to "damnation"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) You storming Sadeas. That would be probably better in the "sanderson insults" topic. Anyway... Some courses for the minor shardworlds: Threnody: Triple-broken-rules! Shadows forgotten! First of the sun: Patji's hundred deaths! Eyeless horrors!

ZotarDragonSlayer Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 One idea of a curse I've enjoyed is while working on a book with planes I've used numbers as curses, because people see different planes of existence as different forms of the underworld.

Erunion Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 That would be probably better in the "sanderson insults" topic. Anyway... Some courses for the minor shardworlds: Threnody: Triple-broken-rules! Shadows forgotten! First of the sun: Patji's hundred deaths! Eyeless horrors! Better ring to it - thrice-broken rules! Others for Threnody: Red eyed/green eyed monster! You blood shedding fool! You're not worth the silver to save! Shades be upon you! This is a world where bloody would probably a big curse word too.

Xaladin Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I already have my own swear. It's "busy beaver." Yes it has meaning. Yes I could build a world with a magic system where it is relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
