Also, if the faces are not the actual neighbors, then they're probably people from Jamie's past, given that Sha-thoexis is specifically targeting her.

Wyndlerunner Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 James fought as hard as he had ever fought in his life, the Stormlight in his veins providing the only edge he had. "Light above!" he cursed under his breath as more and more of the shadows fell into position, "Draug!" he shouted, "How do we stop them?" @xinoehp512 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was at the top he made large rocks out of the wall’s stone and threw them down on the enemy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can define them we can know them if we know them we can beet them!" Quote Where is he? He wasn't dreaming last I checked. Jamie stopped shooting. They're coming for me. Maybe this is like the waves and I have to face them.... She slowly walked up to one of them, holding out her hand. It came closer almost touching her hand. Jamie took a step forward, making contact. The horrible whispers raced into her head once again. Jamie gritted her teeth, "Not this time, bastard! I am above your petty whispers, your attacks in dreams. Nothing you do can change that!" Jamie grabbed the creature with her other hand, imagining it exploding into light. Its figure glowed brightly for a split second, then was gone. "I think we're done here." Jamie muttered, firing a single shot into the air. The other creatures froze, then disintegrated into dust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 The dust from the thousands upon thousands of creatures mixed together and rose up in a black cloud. The whispers became louder and louder as the sky darkened. Draug cried out and ran for Jamie, struggling against the mental pressure of Sha-thoexis. He would not let her fall. He would not let her fall! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AonEne Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Quote I disagree with that policy of the Shard's. I think if you ban some cursing, you should ban all cursing, but that's up to the admins. This, while not being completely up to me, is something I have some influence over. I'm going to at least ask people not to. Edited May 21, 2019 by AonEne 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man moomba Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quote I'd like to point out that her swearing is sort of an important part of the scene. She's under quite a bit of stress Jamie heaved an enormus sigh, glaring at the black cloud. "I said we're done here." she slammed back against the pressure with everything she had. The whispers seemed to retreat as if in fear. "You won't have me today, my unrelenting friend." Jamie grunted, giving a final push. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man moomba Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quote Well, there are a few problems with that. First off 'You cremling' doesn't sound as good. Secondly, I've had her using 'Rusts' from the start. But they also use Earthlike swearwords on Scadrial. It just fits well in the scene and Jamie is the kind of person who swears in situations like this. Not doing that goes somewhat against her character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quote I can understand her being the type of person who swears, and yes, Earth curses exist, but I think we should keep this family-friendly. It's more of an OOC reason than an IC one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord_Lith Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Quote I say ignore or mentally filter what others say if it comes up and fits with the character, but unless in intense situations like this one, do your best to avoid swearing? Is that a good compromise? Edited May 21, 2019 by ShadowLord_Lith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndlerunner Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quote Whilst I agree with and somewhat understand your side, @AonEne, I also agree with @Dr. Dapper- It would be incredibly in character for Jamie to say that, and using a cosmere substitute would lower the emotional impact of the scene. (I might also add that the curses the Shard doesn't censor are the ones Brandon himself already uses) Now you might think its a bit hypocritical of me to say this, since James uses mostly cosmere/WoT curses, it is entirely within his character to censor himself with book swears. It's part of what makes him goofy and eccentric. I also think Lith makes a good compromise though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not attempting to disparage or invalidate your opinion- that's not my intent in the slightest. The only reason I bring up Brandon is the fact that, given where we are, you've read books that use this language, and obviously still like them enough to have joined a fansite devoted to his work. Once again- not trying to condescend or anything. I still think that we should look for a compromise of a solution. There's not much to be said for not speaking up for your beliefs, but there's not much to be said for foisting it upon others without reaching a solution that is mutually beneficial for both parties involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne Posted May 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quote If I thought he might do it, I'd ask Brandon to stop too. If you guys want to curse, I can't force you not to, just know that I wish you wouldn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sorana Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Quote What a discussion... I can only speak for myself here, but in general I try to avoid non-cosmere curses and knowing you are uncomfortable with them I'll take extra care, Ene. Shana stared in awe as the Strangers turned to dust and then seemed to attack Jamie. It was strange, as if there was another fight going on. Unsure what to do, she stayed close to Ben, in case the returned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
