No question, just wanting to recognize and admire a fan's question

[Obeythelaw7 Him/He]

I was perusing the WoB's for my own enjoyment and stumbled across this question and wow...just wow. I love the style of the question, the question itself, the spirit of the question. I love it so much that I want it to happen in canon. we DESERVE an awakened, blood golem that can recombine like t-1000. maybe let it congeal so it is thicker, then awaken... That is all

Someone else brought up the point, can blood be Awakened?

Brandon Sanderson

Anything can be Awakened.

clyguy

If you make a human-shaped mold and you poured blood into it and you Awakened it, would you have a Terminator T-1000 style blood-golem that could recombine?

Brandon Sanderson

Um, heh, well Awakening liquid is possible but I don't think it would work the way you want it to.

Questioner 2

If you had enough of a cloud in one place, could you Awaken a cloud?

Brandon Sanderson

Um, you could Awaken anything. It's probably not going to work the way you want it to. There is a reason why they Awaken the things that they do. For instance if you want to make a transforming golem, you would be much better off with something thicker.

It makes me wonder... would crude oil count as having been alive?  

I'm not sure how smart it is to awaken something like that... but it would be thicker... closer to clay. 

Although I think that the blood clay has already been thought of and may work just fine as well.
