Ailessar Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I am a stick. What is ‘am’? Do you know the meaning of the word? ‘Am’ is but an expression of your universal self in its eternal cycle of existence. So even though you ‘am’ a stick now, it’s really the same thing as you ‘am’ fire. Say the words ‘I am fire.’ You’ll see it’s true. I am a stick. Stick, do you know how many sticks long to be fire? To burn brightly and be a light to the world? You’re crazy to pass this chance up to light up the world. I am a stick. Did you not know that fire is the highest ambition of all sticks? That it’s, like, the first dahn of sticks? I am a stick. Listen, stick. Let’s play a game. If you be fire, I’ll be warm and toasty. I am a stick. Hey, stick, fires are babe magnets. They get to meet all the cute chick sticks. I am fire! 1
The Count he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Just FYI, if I ever get to meet Brandon when he visits the UK I am going have T-shirt printed to wear to the signing. It will be plain black with white letters and just say: "I am a stick" 5
Shards of Mist he/him Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I am a stick! Well, you will become a stick on fire. I am a stick! Listen, you little f@#%er, if you don't change I'm taking this bead over here and turning it into an axehound who likes to eat sticks!!! Oh S@!&! (bursts into flames) 1
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 "I am a Stick!""Oh, I know. Please don't let me interrupt you with that.""Oh, storms! It's Hoid!" *Turns itself into fire.* 2
LordCitrus Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 "I am a stick!" "I promise to put you out after I light this pile of kindling." "I am a STICK!" "You can be a hero. How many sticks become heroes? You can become the stick that all other sticks aspire to be." "I am a stick" "Fire or excrement. I think I see a beaver." 1
Goncho he/him Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Maybe she has to convince the stick that it's actually not a stick. Lie to it. Trick it into believing its fire. Not convincing 2

It will be plain black with white letters and just say: "I am a stick" I very much plan on doing something similar (although I missed the Sanderson signing in Seattle). I am going to make a white shirt though with black letters and a very simply drawn stick in a circle (to represent the sphere). I will high five any who recognize the significance of the stick.

ChocolateRob he/him Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 All very brave attempts but the truth is that you have no chance because, as his character profile on TV Tropes states, he is the stickiest of sticks and will not be persuaded otherwise. I felt he deserved an entry so I added one two weeks ago. (PS Maybe Brandon needs to have 'I am a Stick!' T-shirts added to his store.)
snote Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 "I'm a stick!"If you continue as your present self, you may find it hard to enjoy your stick existence."I'm a..stick?"What I'm saying, if you aren't aware, is the world is using sticks as chull suppositories."What the... stick.. I'm a stick."Yeah, it's disgusting. I don't even understand why. Maybe it's to prevent them "going" when they are in important places."...stick.."I can get you out of this, but you may want to prevent the stable hands from seeing you. Maybe, if you take my stormlight and turn into a burnt ember, then they won't use you. No promises. I just thought you should know."Fire.. make me fire! Almighty, please, make me fire!" 1
Starspren Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 "I am a stick." "Yes, you are. You are a particular nice stick." "I am a stick." "And so I thought I give you a name because you're so a nice stick. What do you think?" "I...I am a stick." "I thought I give you the name 'fire'. A nice name for a nice stick." "..." "Let me introduce me properly. Hi! I'm starspren." "I am fire." 2
Popular Post Seloun Posted March 27, 2014 Popular Post Posted March 27, 2014 What's really funny is that this is not the first time Shallan fails to Soulcast a stick. I'd forgotten that she tries in TWoK after stealing Jasnah's fake Soulcaster: She took a deep breath, then knelt and slid a small wooden stick from under the bed. A week and a half of practice, and she still hadn’t managed to make the Soulcaster do…well, anything at all. ... She sat down on her bed and forced herself to concentrate. She closed her eyes, holding the stick, imagining it transforming into quartz. Then she began humming. Nothing happened. She kept on humming though, trying different notes, concentrating as hard as she could. She kept her attention on the task for a good half hour, but eventually her mind began to wander. ... She stopped humming and opened her eyes. The stick had not changed. So much for that tip, she thought, setting the stick aside with a sigh. She’d been so hopeful. Sticks are her kryptonite. 18
Rybal Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I need you to become fire. I'm a stick. Please, become fire. I'm a stick. But you're dying already. What? I'm a stick. You're away from your tree - cut off. You're dead. You're no more alive now than if you were fire and becoming fire can help save me. I'm a stick. Fine! I guess we'll both die - together. Die? Yes. Cease to exist. Become nothing. You're already on your way and I suppose I'll be joining you. Maybe . . . <FIRE> 1
Awesomeness Summoned he/him Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 "I need you to be some fire for me. It's pretty cold out here." "I am a stick" -waves a hand over the stick- "These aren't the droids..." -cough- "I mean... you are fire." "I... am... a stick!" "Hm, a stick really should be too weak minded to resist... wait, I'm in the wrong universe again!"
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 "I am a stick." "You will be fire or you'll be many sticks." "I am a stick!" *Breaks stick." "We are a stick!" "We are a stick!" *Breaks both sticks* "We are a stick!" "We are a stick!" "We are a stick!' "We are a stick!" ...Kelek's Breath... 7
Crysanja Posted March 27, 2014 Author Posted March 27, 2014 hmm the idear to break the stick is realy good. maybe a "new" stick wasnt precived as a stick that long and is weaker? maybe it gets less difficult when you change the item before you try to soulcast it.
snote Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 "I am a stick!"One question, stick. Mulch or fire?"I am a stick!" Wrong answer! *Fires up wood chipper*"Fire, fire fire fire fire fire!"Good call!"Stick!" "Neeeeraaawwww" said the woodchipper. 2
Fedelpen Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I am a stick. I would like you to become fire. I am a stick. Yes, but I think you should become fire. Warm...bright...doesn't that sound good? I am a stick. Look, you've got nothing going for yourself now! You've been abandoned on this beach. I am a stick. .... I am a-- Yes, yes! I get it. You're a stick. I am-- Shutup!! ... ... I am a stick! Well you're not going to be one for much longer! I am a stick! You will be fire! I am a stick! ... *sigh* I am a stick.
Fedelpen Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Oh, and one more, for the René Magritte fans. [Look him up, it'll make more sense.] 1
Melaan Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Okay so I totally brainstormed with my family about this, and amazingly, my mother-in-law came up with the best one we could think of."I am a stick.""You are an ember in embryo""I am a stick.""That's what I just said; an ember in embryo."(She then stated that she has spent the last 26 years trying to get sticks to become fires, so she should know.)

Quiver he/him Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I can't tell you guys how disappointed I will be if the last scene of the Stormlight Archives isn't Shallan wandering down a beach with a can of gasoline and a match. "I am a stick!" "Hello again, my old friend." Edited July 24, 2014 by Quiver 8
Fatebreaker he/him Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I'll probably butcher this, as I haven't been to Scadrial in years, but here's an attempt: Wasing the being of flaming. Edited July 25, 2014 by Fatebreaker 3
