natc Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 It's undoubtedly present in every cosmere story, but almost never referred to directly... Where they go after being used is one of life's / cosmere's great mysteries... Both are very important to someone wearing shardplate... ----- Shadesmar is like the internet... BTW (upvote to sunbird for a good response to my last post) Once you've in there, it's hard to leave, and everyone refuses to change their views on certain matters like a stubborn stick. Duralumin mistings are like eggs.
Sand Master Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 how...do you write history with a DIMENSIONL DOOR? I meant it like an artist draws another reality, the pencil is the key to imagination and whatnot Pretzels are like Santa Well I just finished reading Calamity and thought you were using dimensional doors in that sense. And since they had such a big impact on the outcome of the story, in a way they wrote history. Not literally writing, but as in they created it. Changed it. So by using the dimensional doors, Megan wrote history. That was my thinking, anyway.

ecohansen Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) toilet paper is like investiture: It's undoubtedly present in every cosmere story, but almost never referred to directly I doubt that industrial-scale TP production is a thing anywhere except maybe W&W-era Scadrial. I've always assumed that the safehand taboo hints that Roshar uses the Indian left-hand-and-water method. http://www.roadjunky.com/1585/the-left-hand-toilet-technique-and-spitting-world-hygiene/ In Shinovar, of course, they would have enough fowl handy to follow Rabelais' advice and use the neck of a goose. http://knowledgenuts.com/2014/08/11/why-you-should-wipe-yourself-with-a-gooses-neck/ Windspren are like quad rotor drones... if things start sticking together, you're in trouble. my writing is like a cob with all the corn eaten off.

CarolaDavar she/her Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Some times, you wish they were more productive, and a bit faster. Writing a good story is like chewing gum
Master Elodin Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 It gets easier over time. A stick is like fire.
CarolaDavar she/her Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Shallan can't make either Math is like Building with Legos 1
hoidhunter he/him Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 It gets easier over time. A stick is like fire. I don't want either near any of my orifices... "Math is like Building with Legos" Following the instructions sucks all the fun out of both... 1
Vander Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Since hoidhunter didn't do anything, I'll put one up instead: Roshar is like Randland. 1
hoidhunter he/him Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) ...literally (pun intended)...both are fictional geographic areas that the popular author Brandon Sanderson has used as a setting for some of his literary works...both begin with the letter R...both are two syllables...both have an even number of letters...both exist in books series that are very long...and I assume that Car'a'carn has read every word (so far) of story that takes place in/on them...and (i believe) both are large, Pangaea-esque continents... otherwise...both would be nice places to live if it were not for a baleful, magical, super powerful, presence. a long book series is like a live in girlfriend...

Roshar would be a nice place to live? You simultaneously want to get to the end and also never want it to stop

You simultaneously want to get to the end and also never want it to stop What can I say...all you can eat crab sounds great...and I like rainy weather... Giant, non-edible crabs are like a bad metaphor...

HAHA I WIN RANDLAND IS ACTUALLY EARTH SO I WIN BECAUSE IT HAS 5 LETTERS AND 1 SYLLABLE AND DOESN'T BEGIN WITH R. *sigh* Sorry. Had to get that out of my system. Anyway... Earth in the Third Age (At the end of which the series takes place) actually has three large continent-bodies- Africa, Asia, and Europe seem to have merged to become the continent where most of the plot takes place. (We don't know its name.) The Americas have become... weird... and are host to a civilization with super-powered military, flight, creatures of war previously unknown, etc. (Go figure. Dammit American propaganda... Though, to be fair, they're portrayed as a civilization of cremlings.) We also don't know ITS name (or do we? I forget... I mean, I guess "Seanchan"...) Oh, and the third continent is a place of repeated chaos and degradation where insane male channelers are speculated to be repeatedly changing the land. It's known as the Land of the Madmen. It's also conspicuously similar to Australia, in terms of climate, geography, and size. DAMMIT JORDAN. I still have to read a substantial amount of the Wheel of Time, sadly. But they both DO take place in very long (or GOING to be very long) series. I also need to go figure out why all of this was necessary. Oh, and giant non-edible crabs are like bad metaphors... They're both hard to palate, and when you do, you wish you didn't have to. Honor is like Egwene. Edited March 14, 2016 by Car'a'carn

ecohansen Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Best treated caustically (green olives are cured in lye). Reading ancient texts is like grating carrots.
Vander Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Boring, repetitive, and sometimes pointless (I'M JUST SAYING, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GRATE CARROTS INTO SOUP! YOU DON'T EVEN KEEP THE CHUNKS!) Super Saiyans are like a speck of sand.
hoidhunter he/him Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) You can stare at both for like 20 episodes before they do ANYTHING... St. Patrick's day is lihe the Weeping... (I'm with you man. I always just wash my carrots and eat them with the skin on. It's (probably) healthier that way.) Edited March 15, 2016 by hoidhunter
Stormgate he/him Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Some people like it, some people don't, but it comes around regardless. Kriss is like a Pop tart
hoidhunter he/him Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Awsome from time to time...but too much ruins the experience... Mistings are like dentists
Vander Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 (I'm with you man. I always just wash my carrots and eat them with the skin on. It's (probably) healthier that way.) Hey, same! Though, admittedly, I used to do that more when I was a bit younger.
