Kobold King he/him Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 When your friend that's a computer scientist is trying to explain monads to you, but every time he says "lift" your mind starts to wander... That's awesome. 2
Xaladin he/him Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 When one day you realize you have inadvertently picked up a few new habits. Like standing, facing East, with hands clasped behind the back. 6
Curiosity he/him Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 When chandeliers with eight-fold symmetry remind you of the Allomantic table of metals, but you're sort of frustrated by the fact that there aren't any with ten-fold symmetry. 5
traceria she/her Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 When you take a homemade yarn afghan out of the dryer with socks and towels and all manner of other clothing items stuck to it due to static, and you think it's like a laundry/clothing mistwraith. 4
king of nowhere Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I actually have given a couple of devotionals and talks where I have used things from the Cosmere as "evidence." The last one I gave I used the passage in my signature -and a summary of the rest of the chapter- about Dalinar and Kaladin. That scene was so awesome that I had to find a way to work it into a talk. Just curious, how did you introduce that to people without knowledge of what a shardblade is? Did you have to explain it beforehand, or did you substitute for some real-world priceless thing like a big diamond?
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Just curious, how did you introduce that to people without knowledge of what a shardblade is? Did you have to explain it beforehand, or did you substitute for some real-world priceless thing like a big diamond? I explained the backstory of it a bit. I equated it with something like a WMD, I think.

Curiosity he/him Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Umm, care to elaborate that? Well, a magical item is Invested, right? You can't affect magic with magic unless you've got crazy, Splinter levels of power invested in one man. *Realizes he never specified the context of movies and TV shows in the original post* Uh... Yeah. Sorry about that.

Yeah. Sorry about that. Okay. I was a bit confused. I wasn't sure if you were talking about real life, a magic show, or who knows what. Thanks for clearing that up.

Redbird he/him Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Wouldn't that make the heroes of those stories epics as well? This makes way too much sense. 5
