Ship It or Rip It?: The Forum Edition

[Karger he/him]

How many more people we need, four?

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

Yeah, four more people. I’m considering starting it with twelve people if no one else signs up soon, with four teams of three instead.

I’ll join but be bad at it

OK the first episode of this just about killed me, so I'm definitely in for this version if there's room. Didn't know there was a second one, thanks guys, I'm off to die now.  

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

So I went ahead and started generating some ships... and storms some of them are hilarious . 

[Guest Coda]

If you still need another person, sure. If someone else really wants to play, I'd be willing to bow out.

Yep, I’ve just got to generate the teams and assign ships then we’re good to go. I’ll have them up within the next 24 hours (hopefully).

Hi @CahiraCelosial! I have not yet met you!

[Karger he/him]

*Gets directly down to business.* 

As we all know Elhokar's previous relationship was to put it kindly "less then ideal."  He found his wife Aesudan attractive because of her ambition a trait that he felt he lacked.  A trait that Blushweaver undoubtedly has.  Blushweaver admired Lightsong because he showed a measure of wisdom.  He saw through the court for what it was a system that rewarded ignorance and laziness.  These are the actions of a fully fledged Lightweaver.  Imagine a story of self realization where two of the cosmere's most self rewarding, self deluding people learn to honor, support and respect each other.  With Elhokar's help Blushweaver could find the strong, honest, righteous women she used to be and with Blushweaver's help Elhokar could learn to channel his good intentions in productive directions as opposed to self destructive ones. 

Also Hi @Ghanderflaffle look forward to working with you.
