Ask ANYONE anything

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Good question. Kindness, I think, and while this isn't strictly speaking a personality trait, I really admire competence.

Where do you get your news?

[Eluvianii he/him]

From a meme a week after the fact. I then ask my friends and family for the details and they look at me incredulously while asking "How did you not know about it? It was everywhere". 

You're a secret agent about to be killed by a villain, there's no way out and the villain is the only person who will see you die. Last words? 

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

Finally, I'll be rid of that shadow creature in the mirror! Also, have you read the Book of Mormon?

What is the best movie?

[The Isochronism he/him]

Thor: Ragnarok; Knives Out

 

What's the negative equivalent of a sphere? 

[Robin Sedai she/her]

I don't know. Is this mathy stuff? I don't like mathy stuff :(.

What sort of accent do you have?

[Eluvianii he/him]

Northern Mexican I guess. I've barely ever traveled anywhere so I don't notice it, but we're known for pronouncing "ch"s as "sh"s to a comical degree.

You have been spoiled the ending to the entire Cosmere by some timey wimey means. You absolutely hate it (which sounds more unbelievable than the time travel in this scenario, I know). Do you still keep reading the books as they come out? 

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

YES? Maybe? Most likely

What is the best nightwatcher bane ever?

[EmulatonStromenkiin he/him]

seeing stuff so the colors are reversed.

What is the worst nightwatcher boon?

[Eluvianii he/him]

Imagine being a kid, wanting everything to taste sweet. You ask for it and now you're stuck with that "boon" for life. I'd hate it, and this is coming from a sweets addict. 

Nightwatcher bane that sounds terrible but might actually be fun/useful?

Put a bane instead of a boon

[JaySurge he/him]

Only being able to make sarcastic comments.

Most exotic place you want to visit and why?

Edited July 19, 2022 by JaySurge
FRIGGIN GRAMMAR!

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

The tropical habitable moon of a distant gas giant. Sometimes I think Earth is boring, because the largest celestial object we can see (besides the sun) is this small little sphere that barely takes up any of the sky. The moon is cool. But imagine standing on the surface of an alien world and looking into the sky, only to see a gigantic planet dominating a good fourth of the visible space in the sky. It would have swirling clouds that you could see with incredible detail, and you could probably also see nearby moons easily. It would be insane and incredible.

Barring interstellar destinations, probably a Polynesian island.

 

What is your dream interstellar destination?

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

*shrugs*

 

who is your least POV character in SA?

[Eluvianii he/him]

Probably Gaz. You mean who gets the least povs, right? But seriously, I don't think I could choose a least favorite. Nor would I want to.

Can you find a specific constellation in the sky?

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

I can find Orion, and usually Cassiopeia too.

Do you ever get the urge to just wander around in the woods Ranger of the North style?

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Never. I'm a city girl through and through.

What's the weather like today?

[The Isochronism he/him]

Perfect. (There's a story behind that answer, but this seems like the wrong place to go into it, so we'll just leave it at that.)

 

What's one thing you wish you'd done 2 weeks ago.

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Hmm... Bought some bananas. There were these perfectly ripe bananas on sale, and I didn't buy any. It's an odd regret, I know.

If you could pick one song to represent your personality, what would it be?

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

That’s hard. Like, really hard. It changes frequently as well. Numb Little Bug by Em Beihold or Mulberry Street by twenty one pilots. (Jus the vibe)

 

If you woke up one day with long beastly claws, how would you react?

[Trutharchivist he/him]

Stare at them for a moment, then start complaining on the fact I didn't get a tail or wings. Afterwards I'll probably tear my skin to shreds and might accidentally commit suicide - I scratch my neck way too much, but that's not really interesting.

What would you do if a literal witch took over your household? (Assuming we're talking about the more evil kind of witches.)

[Eluvianii he/him]

Look, the witch can be evil, but initially I wouldn't know that. I would most certainly ask her to teach me magic. May get killed after that.

Is there a thing you love that you would start disliking given the chance? (as in, maybe you love cakes but too much sugar is bad so you wish you didn't). 

[Cosmerenomics Enthusiest.]

Definitely most unhealthy things is what I'd choose but they taste so good

If you could have any question answered what would it be?

[The Isochronism he/him]

I guess it'd depend who's answering. Maybe I'd ask who I'm going to marry, or how I can achieve a successful career. It's hard though, because some of these things are probably things I should figure out myself...

If you could force Brandon Sanderson answer one question that's been RAFO'd, which question would you have him answer?

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

What determines how good a shard is at reading the future.

What kind of fantasy creature would you like to make?

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Can't think of anything, sorry.

Is it just me, or is the Shard much less active round this time of the year?

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

I don't think it's just you. (I know I joined this time of year, but I also lurked for a bit before )

Were you a lurker?
