Introductions are hard

[CadmiumBQ]

hi! i'm. not great at intros but i'm giving it a go because why not? be patient, please, i'm a shy potato and sometimes it takes me months to actually let people know i exist for more than 2 minutes. object permanence is a farce. also my casual typing is littered with grammatical nonsense and capitalization in weird places, such as a full sentence being 'i'm'. shhh

i picked up TWoK on a whim (45+ hour audio books my dude like wow) to listen to at work and i'm currently working through the cosmere books in the ~recommended~ reading order (for funsies). i've gotten through all of the mistborns, all of the stormlights, and the emperor's soul. next on my list will be elantris.

Welcome there, CadmiumBQ! Good to see you here

Which Sanderson book is your favorite?

[S. Stormy she/her]

Welcome, friend! Introductions are hard, but you did a good job.

[CadmiumBQ]

thank you both!

i don't know which book specifically is my favorite, but i think my favorite series is stormlight. the original mistborn series is a close second tho, methinks. the stormlights are the ones that have made me legitimately smile in the middle of work the most. there are some really powerful scenes and i love the way a lot of the various things like mental illness and stuff are handled.

Welcome to the Shard! Have you by chance read The Wheel of Time?

[CadmiumBQ]

i haven't! i'm still relatively new to all of brandon's works. only around like... half a year? i don't read much because i have issues focusing on things but i listen to the audiobooks and i've gone back and relistened to a few to see if i can catch new connections and stuff. but i'm digressing lmao

[Edema Rue she/her]

Welcome!! Enjoy all of the cosmere, and then please read Wheel of Time. It is delightful. 

[CadmiumBQ]

i'll give it a go when i get a chance!

[curon he/him]

Even though I, too, only arrived here: Welcome to the shard  Introductions and About Me stuff is tough! I feel you did pretty well. Do you have a favourite Stormlight character so far? Also, what would be your favourite world building aspect in that series?

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Welcome, it's great to see you! I hope you like it here

[CadmiumBQ]

xD thanks! i'll probably be a pretty quiet bean but everyone's been sweet so i gotta say so far i'm likin' it 

hmm... favorite stormlight character... that's a hard one. i do really like adolin. he's a good egg. navani too. and dalinar. it's hard to pick okay. favorite worldbuilding... hmm... honestly i'm always intrigued by the ecology and stuff. i'm a sucker for the way all the living things interact and survive! like sometimes i find myself thinking about what adaptations these creatures have to survive on roshar

Welcome to the Shard, comrade-in-Sanderson!

I have a question for you...

If Hoid gave you a box of kittens, what would you do?

thanks and that's an excellent question. probably a pulser that is unintentionally always burning the cadmium. i'll feel like an hour has passed but i look at the clock and it's been a solid 2 minutes
