Chirolina she/her Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 Hi, my name is Brenna and I've been reading Cosmere books since 2018! Took a break for the past couple of years while I got pulled into other hyperfixations (*winks at fellow ADHDers*), but recently have jumped back in head first! I just finished reading all the secret project books, Lost Metal, and am now catching up on a refresh of Stormlight in prep for Wind and Truth. I'd like to give a huge shout out to the Coppermind folks who gifted us with chapter summaries of the books to make my life easier!! I'm an obsessive Shardcast listener, Coppermind fanatic, and Discord lurker. My favorite world in the Cosmere is Scadrial, and my favorite secret project is Yumi. While the Cosmere is easily my biggest fandom obsession, I'm also majorly into other fantasy books (WOT, LOTR, Harry Potter, the Maasverse, to name a few), xbox and console gaming, and finding new tv shows to get into (anyone else excited for Arcane season 2??) Anyway, nice to meet you all, and excited to formally document my presence in the fandom! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parks and Rec is good, but there's some... jokes and scenes that I'd have your parents screen/approve (depending on how old/mature you are) before watching them. Plus I've heard the first season is horrible, but from second onward I really like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents If only Eddie were still here Hi @Through The Living Glass! I've been lurking for a long time, but after hearing about the Forums on Shardcast I decided I might as well become an active member so I can nerd out with fellow Sanderson fanatics (I don't have any people IRL who are into the Cosmere). I'd probably visit Alethkar and eat/drink my way through all their various curries and wines!! 54 minutes ago, J. Magi said: *sobs* I'm not excited for Arcane season two . . . because I can't watch it anyway Welcome to the Shard!! What's your least favorite Branderson character? @J. Magi Why can't you watch?? Least favorite character....maybe Wax? Just because I don't feel particularly emotionally connected to him. Wayne was always my favorite in that duo, and Lost Metal solidified that even more lol 57 minutes ago, strmblsd said: welcome to the shard would you like a cookie? and what is your opinion on hemalurgy? Hi @strmblsd! Short answer is hemalurgy scares and fascinates me, but I'm excited to see how it's applied in the wider Cosmere.... "I maintain, however, that the one of these with the largest potential impact on the Cosmere is Hemalurgy. Usable by anyone with the right knowledge, this dangerous creation has proven able to warp souls regardless of planet or Investiture, creating false Connections that no Shard designed or intended." 42 minutes ago, Spark of Hope said: Parks and Rec is good, but there's some... jokes and scenes that I'd have your parents screen/approve (depending on how old/mature you are) before watching them.

It's one of my comfort shows (I'm in my 30's so the jokes are totally appreciated lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's basic but Leslie is my favorite! I get her most commonly as my doppelgänger (both in personality and looks), and she just cracks me up with how genuine she is! A very close second favorite is Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usable by anyone with the right knowledge, this dangerous creation has proven able to warp souls regardless of planet or Investiture, creating false Connections that no Shard designed or intended." It's one of my favorite magic systems, probably tied with Feruchemy and Allomantic coming as a close second. I'm very curious as to what else can be done with it and how it will show up in later books. 1 hour ago, Chirolina said: I LOVE Parks and Rec!!

That's my favorite part of Scadrial (besides the magic systems)! I love how we've seen each phase of that world developing on page and the religions and "lore" of the world are based on characters we grew to love first! It's makes the whole story so much more personal and nostalgic (I'm an Era 1 sucker) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Investiture of Scadrial is by far my favorite in the Cosmere. Can't wait to see how their magi-tech evolves! 4 minutes ago, Chirolina said: I love how we've seen each phase of that world developing on page and the religions and "lore" of the world are based on characters we grew to love first! It's makes the whole story so much more personal and nostalgic (I'm an Era 1 sucker) Personally, I think I grew to love Era 2 more, as I was a lot more invested (pun intended) in the world by that point. Plus, all the cool little connections I could pick out that tied back to Era 1 were so neat. I really hope Era 3 is like this, only better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahah hello fellow dopamine chaser!! Definitely Jinx, I got sucked into watching the show by seeing Tiktok edits of her character. Her storyline is so centralized around trauma and mental illness and I'm a sucker for characters like that. I am totally #TeamJinx for season 2!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
