highvelocitypineapples Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hello! I go by highvelocitypineapples here and on the Discord. I'm not sure how active I'll be here, but I figured I'd make an account regardless . I've been reading Sanderson since I was a kid with Alcatraz, which I love, and I read The Rithmatist as a young teen (rip Rithmatist 2). I read Mistborn and Stormlight last year and liked them both, but didn't get sucked in until I figured out the cosmere was a thing. Since then I've read all of Brandon's stuff except Skyward (I plan to get around to it eventually), Legion, Dark One, and White Sand Vol 2 and 3 (I read 1 but didn't love it). I also discovered Shardcast in quarantine and listened to all of it because I had nothing else to do... Random other stuff about me: I love history, I play the piano, I have a six month old labradoodle named Barley, I have three cactuses named Rayse, Wyndle, and... a character introduced in RoW (I assume the Discord spoiler periods apply here as well?), I am deathly afraid of spiders, and I may have a slight addiction to chewing gum. (Polar Ice is my favorite.) Excited to be a bigger part of the community! (I figured out how to spoil by clicking around. My third cactus's name is Spoiler Lezian) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one who usually does the welcomes, but since you've posted about an hour ago and I happen to be active, I figured that I would do so, lol. What would you say you're favorite Cosmere characters are and why? While we're on that note: What do you say you're favorite Brandon Sanderson book (or books) are? I personally love Vin, Shallan, and Lightsong for reasons, lol. Both of the Mistborn trilogies have grown to be one of my favorites, Warbreaker being up there with them. Words of Radiance is with them as well, but not as high as some others, lol. I've been playing the piano for ten years, so I can relate to ya in that category. What kind of music do you play? If you asked me that question, I'm not sure how I would answer, lol. I play a lot of different genres of music and seem to do fine with all of them, lol. I've noticed that a lot of the music that I like to play is kind of those flowy pieces, but I also know The Entertainer and some other ragtime if I were in front of a piano, lol. Ahhh, I love pets! My dog recently passed, so as an owner who loves my pets still: Give Barley a lot of love please. You'll never know how precious they are to you once they're gone. What would you say the best thing about Barley is? If you have multiple things to say about Barley, go ahead and say them! They're all good qualities, I'm sure. Ah yes, spiders. I'm not exactly "afraid" of them, but rather I know not to mess with them and they won't mess with me, lol. There are some spiders where I wonder why in the heckfire they exist and are living in the same time as I, lol. You wouldn't want to live at my place, since spiders love to take up residence around the outside of my house, lol. Either way, welcome to the chaos Shard! Everyone here is wonderful, and don't forget that. We have all sorts of people here, so feel free to talk to any of them! They don't bite hard, I swear, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite character depends on my mood but generally it cycles through Kaladin, Elend, Kelsier, ...all the spren, but mostly Syl, Pattern, and the SF, Vasher, and Adolin. I’ve also become more and more fond of Szeth as time has gone on and as I’ve reread the books, so I’m pretty excited for his flashback book. My favorite book has got to be The Final Empire. I love heist stories, and Vin and Elend are one of my favorite romances, and I love the magic. There are other reasons, but those are the main ones. Close second place goes to Oathbringer, because it probably has the best lessons of any book I’ve ever read. The idea of Journey before Destination and Dalinar’s story has resonated with me just as it has with a lot of people. Hey, I’ve played piano for about ten years too! I really like classical music, but I’ll play whatever. Depends Ahh, don’t talk about Barley leaving me D: One thing about Barley is, she’s a very good puppy. My friend has a dog a little older than her, and he is a huge troublemaker. Barley still destroys stuff and disobeys, but generally she is very well behaved. She’s also adorable. She’s an F2 labradoodle (I think is the terminology) so her parents were both labradoodles. F2 can have unpredictable traits, whereas F1 are more what you’d find if you looked her breed up on google. Point is, she looks more lab, but has REALLY long poodle legs. She’s super tall! And she prances and leaps like a circus dog. It’s really cute because she’s also very clumsy ugh I hate spiders. Hate hate hate. There was a spider in my bed a few months ago and I slept downstairs for a week. Thanks for the welcome! I’m excited to be here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should definitely read Skyward!

But I'll take them over crickets or cockroaches. *shudder* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
