Ripheus23 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Quote Questioner [PENDING REVIEW] Just give me a worldbuilding quirk, some weird quirk of a world. Something you haven't written or don't intend to write. Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Something I don't intend to write but I someday will. Crab people. source There goes my Lobstershendi theory 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imriel452 Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Read Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Tales of the Apt” series for crab people, wasp people and all sorts of funky characters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasper Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Do you think Singers taste good? Say boiled and served with butter and cocktail sauce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchwood17 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Weren't the guards from the alien space station in Skyward described as being like crabs? Did Sanderson in that quote say it was something from the Cosmere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripheus23 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I think he implied that he has yet to put crab people in a story, which implies that my crustacean-theory of the singers/listeners/w/e is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Sanderson in that quote say it was something from the Cosmere? He didn't but the WoB is from a signing on the Skyward tour so I'm pretty certain he isn't refering to any of the aliens from that work. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Oh, yay! I want crab-people now. With the plot twist that they are lobster-people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imriel452 Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 Mental Theory: Yolen is destroyed by the fainlife so the Yoleni/Yolenites flee underwater, and over time, they divide into the Lobsters and the Crabs. Adonalsium is a concept of the crab people and the lobsters plan to destroy it with their specially evolved claws, hence Brandon’s comment that the weapon that killed Adonalsium is still around, just not in the same form... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
