1. It's the thing where the villain has the traits the author dislikes in themself. I really only hate her because she's so much like how I act IRL. Insufferable, but makes good points. 

2. That's tough. Maybe לעלות (la-ah-lote), to go up. Or חן (chein), favor/grace. Both are nice.

5. Ah!!!!! Ene, why?

I storming know them all by heart. Is that sad? 

1. In what world are you insufferable? I'll believe that when I see it. So never  

2. לעלות sounds pretty! 

5. To torture you 

Nah, not sad at all

5. Ah!!!!! Ene, why? Acutes, though. Inden, Nola, Pry, Light, Precious, Freedom, Unity, Brethren, Dawn, Lineage, Compile, Warmer, and Eon--I storming know them all by heart. Is that sad? 

...and it will be worse as they suffer even further.

How’s the deer population doing over there?

Good question!

I have no new pictures to share, but...

A few weeks ago, lightning severed a branch from a tree in my backyard. It was a rather large, leafy branch. The deer were quite pleased at this unexpected feast.

Then, you know, we brought in an arborist to remove it because it was, well, big. So now the poor deer have been forced to return to their usual sources of nutrition. 
There have been a lot of cute little ones around lately, though. Little speckled deer.

What is your favorite Sanderson book?

[AonEne he/him]

Psychology or sociology?

What's your favorite rep title that you've had?

I...managed to not see this for two months. Much apologies!

Warbreaker. Don't know why. It just kind of resonated.

Psychology! Sociology is scary.

Ghostblood. As a TUBAist, it was a humorous contrast.

If you ever needed advice would you ask it from my fast sinking advice thread?

Studying the behavior of people in groups... *shudders* It's a freaky reminder of how influenceable we are. Psychology can be counteracted by being aware of it and going through loops of opposite psychology and the like. Sociology, less so. Your natural inclinations within a group are harder to change, to control. I'm taking a history class with a side focus on human behavior this year and storms it is scary to see how pulling the right strings can make people do things they would never do otherwise. 

The two, psychology and sociology both, are scary. Sociology more so though, hence why I picked psychology.

I would ask in your advice thread even if I did not need advice!

These words are accepted.

What is the truth?

The ideal, unchangeable fact. Something unaffected by what people happen to believe at the moment. I can't tell you what specifically the truth is because that would be presuming that anything I know is truly the truth. 

The truth is the truth.

Great answer. It’s also an insane space with an Honorblade that has killed monarchs all over the world.
