Gaze Upon Me!

[lilmage99 She/Her]

Hello All! I'm new here, but I've been consuming Sanderson Media for a couple years now. I'm not super familiar with how forums such as these work but I'm a quick learner so I should pick it up in no time! 

I'm a Creative who resides in the Midwest USA, I have an addiction to buying too many books (more than I can read honestly ), and I'm a huge nerd who easily hyperfixates on anything that draws me in (such as the Cosmere). I love meeting new people and making new friends! Can't wait to explore 17th shard

Editing at the recommendation of an experienced User to add that I've read all the books of the Cosmere except The Lost Metal and WaT (currently reading Wind and Truth tho). I will be reading The Lost Metal once I finish Wind and Truth (I wanted to read it before WaT but I didn't have time to before the new book was Released )

Is Quoting how you directly reply to someone?  

I've read all of the Cosmere except The Lost Metal, I'm currently reading Wind and Truth, then Moving onto TLM. 

I haven't read any of his non-cosmere stuff yet, but I plan on doing so starting with the Alcatraz series once I'm caught up on the Cosmere 

(Also thanks hee hee)

Usually, yes.

You can also ping them by typing @ and then their username, but quoting is usually used.

Nice! What's your favorite type of spren?

Dang, I love your pfp! 

What's your Knights Radiant order?

Ink Spren and/or Anger Spren! I love the descriptions of both of them, every time Anger Spren are mentioned I get a very clear visual of them in my mind!

Thanks  

This is a tough question bc I've taken the official test 4 different times throughout the past 2 years and have gotten 4 different answers. Willshaper, Elsecaller, Lightweaver, and most recently (which genuinely shocked me) Windrunner 

I most identify with the Willshapers though, the light Spren call to me, and their philosophy is one I very much so believe in! Also to have armor made out of joyspren sounds delightful and so me. Their surges as well are very appealing to me.

That's really cool! I'm an Edgedancer, most recently.

I fellow Willshaper! Nice.

Favorite Sanderson Magic System?

[lilmage99 She/Her]

@Ookla the Irreplaceable

Brass Misting + Aluminum Ferring 

@Vyzkel

That's a tough question 

Probably Forgery on Sel, although I'm very Partial to AonDor as well! Selish magic systems in general are overall my favorite of the Cosmere!

Hi! Welcome to the madness!

If you were to get stuck on an island with a Cosmere character of your choice, who would that be?

(Note that the character does not have access to whatever powers they usually have. So no "Kaladin so he flies me out" answer)

Hoid, hands down, simply for the reason that he's cute and would entertain me

Welcome to the Shard!

Which of the three Metallic Arts is your favorite? What do you want to see from each in coming stories?

[Mags she/they]

Welcome to the Shard! (Thanks for the random follow my guy)

We love a fellow hoid enthusiast, you are by no means alone let me assure you!

Who's you're least favorite Cosmere character so far?

Do you like bagels?!

(Also if you have any forum related questions, don't be afraid to ask. Plus, I think if you dig a bit you can find Treamayne's how-to threads somewhere, that are pretty comprehensive).

Hmmm I think Feruchemy, and I don't like to have expectations for any future works bc I want to go into each book with an open mind, as to not be disappointed by my own expectations 

@Magi

My least fave? Moash DUH haha, but in reality I focus so hard on all the characters I love that I don't really know who I dislike the most. Tbh even Brandons worst characters are compelling in some day 

Also I LOVE bagels, at the local farmers market there's this baker that makes bagels (the jalapeno cheddar are my fave) and omg they're amazing 

(Thank you )
