There were a few posts from them, but most SU's from what I could see when I looked at their profile. I mostly just had some ideas for FWH memes and wanted to share them with people who'd appreciate them. 4 hours ago, Trutharchivist said: Well, I've had to read back on the PM to find out you wrote mostly nothing, and from what I've seen - that tracks. It's the only book you said you weren't going to foreread. Hmm. Maybe I could meme you out of this... Is there a meme for making a choice then regretting it? How deep of a regret are we talking? On a scale of Spoiler to Spoiler with Spoiler sitting at the midpoint, where does this level of regret fall? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Mistborn Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I'd say right at the midpoint give or take 5% error @Trutharchivist, I know you already made one, but it was great, so if you want to try with another format. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Well, I finished Frugal Wizard, and let me tell you, it went in a different direction than I'd thought. A much better direction. Spoiler Poor John has so much self-loathing that it seemed like the narrative would back up his assumption about Ryan, but it did not. And I'm happy to report that…. I still need to read the other Secret Projects, but I did enjoy that one. Still, I'm going to assume that Ryan was fired and Jen was arrested shortly after they returned to Seattle, because that thought sparks joy. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Major spoilers for Yumi and the Nightmare Painter ahead. Spoiler First off, I've got to say the character development in this story is a real bait-and-switch in the best way possible. Spoiler What I mean by that is that there's a huge contrast between how Hoid depicts Painter in early chapters…. ….and how Yumi comes across at the midpoint…. ….with how they both actually are. This marks the second time I've thought Sanderson was going to use one of my least favorite tropes and turned out to be completely wrong. You know who else was completely wrong? Torish scholars. Spoiler Not the best plan there, guys. Yumi, however, was right about the power of creation. Like, more right than should have been possible. Spoiler Ah, well. It's a nice ending regardless. I liked the bittersweet one I thought we were going to get, but it's still a nice ending. Turns out, though, that the real losers in this story are the corporations in Kilahito. Spoiler I mean, yes, it seems like the Dreamwatch was little more than an excuse for spoiled rich kids to sit on their butts all day. But I'm sure some of them would want to "redeem themselves" by doing everything wrong in their new jobs as CFOs or board members or whatever other positions allowed them to ruin the rank-and-file's lives. Overall, an excellent story. Highly recommend. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trusk'our Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 (edited) As my two-thousandth, two-hundredth, twenty-second post, I wanted to do something a little special. So, I think now is the best time to dump a stockpile of memes I made (plus one I found earlier today). Enjoy Mistborn spoilers; Spoiler Basically whenever a Hemalurgist encounters any sort of problem; More Mistborn spoilers; Spoiler Scadrians once general knowledge of Hemalurgy gets out; Probably counts as a Mistborn spoiler; Spoiler When a Zinc Ferring and a Steel Ferring both fight the same guy; Era 2 Mistborn spoilers; Spoiler Basically, this is how all of Wax and Wayne's interactions go; Warbreaker spoilers; Spoiler When Awakeners are asked if they need help with something; Mistborn Secret History spoilers; Spoiler When Kelsier was trying to convince Spook to experiment with Hemalurgy; Just to be on the safe side, Mistborn spoilers; Spoiler Preservation's attitude; Stormlight and Mistborn spoilers; Spoiler And finally, this is the interaction I envision when a Surgebinding champion duels a Fullborn. Clearly, the fight is very one-sided; Aaaaaand, that's all I've got for right now. Hope you got a good laugh!

There's waaaay too many factors to make either claim. What era are we talking about? Are they on Roshar in the middle of rocky nothingness or a planet with cities full of metal? If the Windrunner is 5th ideal and they are up against a full born, do they both have years of combat experience? Does the windrunner have an oxygen supply...can they shoot up to the mesosphere and either escape the fullborn or see if -120 freezes them solid? Or maybe shoot up to the the exosphere and see if cooking at 2200-2700 degrees does the trick (We've already seen living plate withstand extreme temperatures)? If the full born gets that high..can the windrunner hit them hard enough to force them out into space? Would near absolute zero kill a fullborn? We know that at some point shardplate is fine in space..sooooo? I do agree that compounding makes for ridiculous amounts of power compared to other Cosmere abilities..but matching them head to head has to take a bunch of other factors into account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
