Kobold King he/him Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I think there's also something to be said for changing the mindset of most wizards when it comes to house elves. Hermione, whose parents are Muggles, seems to be one of the few who finds their plight worthy of action; even open-minded wizards like Ron, who attempted the nastiest curse a twelve-year-old could know at hearing a slur use against one of his friends, presume that the elves' brainwashing is natural and normal. What is needed here is proof that it is not. Reform-minded witches like Hermione should look into the history of house elves, seeking a time they were free. They should look at the spells binding elves to their masters, and determine their nature and how long ago they were placed on the entire race. This research should be plainly written and made as public as possible. Not everyone will believe it, but those who will must be convinced. I favor the theory that goblins and house-elves are actually the same species--millennia worth of captivity and selective breeding have made the house-elves smaller with faces that are less wrinkled and off-putting than those of goblins, but otherwise they're very similar humanoids with extremely powerful innate magic. It puts the "goblin rebellions" Professor Binns drones on about in a better perspective... 5
Zathoth Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 While flipping through some old notebooks I found a line I don't even remember writing. "Ivory knew she would be dead in precisely four minutes, so she ate another chocolate." I would definitely read this book. Ivory sounds awesome. Either she actually dies and her death sparks the entire plot or she somehow survives and that sparks the plot. I prefer the first option myself. 2

Either she actually dies and her death sparks the entire plot or she somehow survives and that sparks the plot. I prefer the first option myself. A death starting a plot is too common in my opinion, just as just a survival starting it. The right way to make a plot from this line is by making it so that there wasn't any danger to her life in first place, find the most dramatic possible reason she thought there was, isolate her from everyone she knows, and give everyone conflicting intermediary goals that lead to the same end goal and all involve her. You can call it "The Idrian Gift" method. 1

Or she does actually die and spends the rest of the novel trying to break into an afterlife that has chocolate, which is mysteriously absent from the one she was designated. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Uh, that's.... let's just say disturbing for now Here's a better take on it: Every atom that makes up every molecule of your body was originally born in the heart of a star. 6
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Random thought of the day: If your atoms are made of the heart of stars, shouldn't we go supernova?
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Random thought of the day: If your atoms are made of the heart of stars, shouldn't we go supernova? We can, and we do. Ever seen a last-minute shopper on Christmas Eve who's told the store is all out of slippers? 4
Zathoth Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I want to say "Not that you need to slip more in this weather", but with this weather there wont be much slipping... It wouldnt have been a very good joke anyway... 1
Allomancy she/her Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Wow, there are so many random thoughts of the day. Even thought they are "The random thought of the day", there are multiple... odd.
Kaymyth she/her Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Please note: the following is likely to be the source of great controversy and division amongst Sharders. I experienced the glory of brussels sprout pizza tonight! (OK, it was brussels sprouts and bacon, but I managed to find a slice that was heavy on the sprouts and devoid of the evil bacons.) A+ pizza idea, would nom again. 5

A+ pizza idea, would nom again. Hurm. I've never had that, and my knee jerk response is "weird weird ew weirdie pizza"....but then I remember my favorite pizza is a Thai chicken pizza with peanut sauce and bean sprouts, so Brussels sprouts pizza might be just as good for all I know. 3

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) "A can of Coke exploded all over your pants tonight? Gee, that sucks, Twi. Don't expect us to do anything to make it easier for you to wash the soda off quickly. In fact, I think we'll change up our schedule so you'll have to wait even longer to take a shower." This is just what I expect from you now, parents. Edit: And Dad is completely unconcerned that his bath used up all the hot water and my sister had a cold shower. Good parents you are.

Kobold King he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 That's the one thing that bothers me about Captain Cold. Just say it already! Let's take a moment to realize that Barry could punch Captain Cold 400 times in the face in the time it takes for him to sound out his vowels. 1
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 My mind: I should probably get some sleep. Oh! Look at that interesting thing on the internet. And I still have to re-read some Darths and Droids. Hours later, I finally go to sleep. I should probably fix my methodology. 1
