Crystin Radiant Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 When your English teacher asks the class about Plato and the cave allegory, and your first thoughts are 'Alcatraz!', and you are the only person that knew about it before that day, thanks to Alcatraz, (or Sanderson, whoever really wrote those books...) When you have to wait for your parents to pick you up and it's cold and dark out, and you wish you had some tin and pewter to burn... 3
Popular Post Oudeis he/him Posted November 10, 2014 Popular Post Posted November 10, 2014 When you're biking half a mile up a steep hill, realize halfway you'll never make it, and desperately gasp out what you personally believe to be a Willshaper Ideal, hoping it'll somehow let you draw in enough energy from the spare change in your pocket to get you to the crest... ((...I actually did make it without stopping. Didn't break any records, but I kept going.)) When you find yourself musing philosophically as you shave, "A play is sorta like a hemalurgic creation... bits of soul taken from dozens of different people, mutated together into one thing greater than any single human." 17
Delightful Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 When you find yourself musing philosophically as you shave, "A play is sorta like a hemalurgic creation... bits of soul taken from dozens of different people, mutated together into one thing greater than any single human." Wow, that's deep. And probably the most positive comment on Hemalurgy I've seen . Take an upvote! 4

Paragrin she/her Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Okay, that's creepy. I just read that quote literally 2 minutes before I checked this. 2
Shaggai Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 When you think you're on Roshar because a woman walks by only wearing a glove on her left hand. That's it? I think the Alethi have somewhat stricter standards than that. 6
traceria she/her Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 You know you and your significant other are Sanderfans when you're watching an episode of Legend of Korra and your SO walks in and you say in explanation: "He [Tenzin] is a windrunner...kind of." (This had to have been mentioned already, but hey! I just watched the first season for the first time over the weekend! ) 3

I think the Alethi have somewhat stricter standards than that. It depends. Flywinged, did you notice her eye color? Then again, she could be Lightweaving. 2
Shaggai Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 It depends. Flywinged, did you notice her eye color? Then again, she could be Lightweaving. I'm pretty sure that no matter your eye color, you're not allowed to walk around wearing only a glove. I mean, if you Lightweave some clothes, sure, but then how would Flywinged notice? 1

mail-mi he/him Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 I'm pretty sure that no matter your eye color, you're not allowed to walk around wearing only a glove. Ask Kal's mother 1
Shardcellist Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure that no matter your eye color, you're not allowed to walk around wearing only a glove. Ask Kal's mother Generally, darkeyed women go around wearing only a glove; it is not considered indecent per se, but the lighteyed women (especially those of higher dahns) hold themselves to higher standards. Consider the following: Like all Vorin women, she kept her left hand - her safehand - covered, exposing only her freehand. Common darkeyed women would wear a glove, but a woman of her rank was expected to show more modesty than that. In her case, she kept her safehand covered by the oversized cuff of her left sleeve, which was buttoned closed. The Way of Kings, Chapter 3: City of Bells The longer left cuff hid her safehand. Kaladin's mother had always just worn a glove, which seemed far more practical to him. The Way of Kings, Chapter 6: Bridge Four One more year, and she'd start wearing a glove on her left hand, the mark that a girl had entered adolescence. The Way of Kings, Chapter 16: Cocoons (Note that the girl mentioned is Laral, so it seems that young lighteyed ladies may also only wear gloves.) "A few minutes later she stood in front of the mirror, wearing loose brown trousers, a white buttoned shirt, and a thin glove on her safehand. She felt naked with her hand exposed like that. The trousers weren't so bad - darkeyed women wore them when working the plantation back home, though she'd never seen a lighteyed lady in them. But that glove... Words of Radiance, Chapter 42: Mere Vapors "Your disguise is gone," Pattern noted. Red hair. Shallan gasped, then immediately shoved her safehand into her pocket. The darkeyed con woman that Tyn had trained could go about half-clothed, but not Shallan herself. It just wasn't right. Words of Radiance, Chapter 43: The Ghostbloods The first quote, in my mind, seems to describe it best. Edited November 13, 2014 by Shardcellist 2
Unhinged he/him Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 When you stayed up till midnight waiting for WOR to be released, then ranted for hours when you realized that it's going to be a while before your tablet downloads it. (yea my roommate was not happy with me that night ) 2

Titan Arum Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Why would it be time to shave your beard? Winter is upon us, now is the time to keep the magnificence that is facial hair... Ha! Fair point...but job interviews sometimes trump winter face warmth! 1
