Belated hello

[Blightsong he/him]

I don't think I did one of these when I first started posting, so I might as well get around to it after this new update.

 

I'm Blightsong, I've been posting on here for a bit over half a year to a year, although I've been lurking for quite a bit longer than that and have been immersed in the cosmere since WoK was released. I spend most of my time playing video games and listen to audio books when I should be studying or messing around at my local gyms practicing my martial arts (I do Krav Maga and Kendo). 

I was largely introduced to fantasy by WoK, which I picked up after seeing it in the recommended section for Wise Man's Fear on Amazon. After reading it I was immediately captivated by the world and quickly found and devoured the other Cosmere books. From then on I've spent a lot of time obsessing over WoBs (I've probably memorized most of theoryland at this point) and writing and refining questions to ask Brandon on the rare occasions that I can swing over to a signing or Con.

I'm probably most well known on this for asking a bunch of questions at and transcribing my audio from OddeseyCon  (It was nice to meet other sharders there), recalling a lot of obscure WoB, and being very sceptical of most theories.

It's been nice interacting with you all, and I plan on sticking around for a long time. See you all around!

I guess you already know to avoid the cookies, huh?

Where did that joke/meme start? I've always wondered...

Eh... One of the people in the Dark Alley thread said they'd be lured down a Dark Alley if there were cookies. From there, someone made a joke about cookies being disguised as Hemalurgic Spikes, and things snowballed from there.

Yeah.  Just read the first couple pages of the 'People you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley' thread, and you will get the idea.

The welcome cookie started YEARS before the dark alley. It was actually KChan's way of welcoming new members to the site.

Belated welcome to you Blightsong! I've noticed you are particularly active on the site and I always get excited to see new posts from you! Cheers!
