Attentea she/her Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hello! I just joined this site. I've been a fan of Sanderson's books for a few years now, but after reading RoW I just had to share my cosmere theories so I joined the forums to talk with other fans. I've read all the cosmere books, and I'm working on Sanderson's other books now (next up is Legion). I'm a cosplayer, artist, gamer, bookworm, and all-round geek and nerd. If I could have any power in all of the cosmere I'd be a Windrunner. So that's a bit about me. Feel free to visit my pages on Facebook and Instagram where I post about all sorts of geeky and nerdy things. Looking forward to many interesting journeys here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you signed up! I have to pick one book?! Lol. I really love Stormlight Archive and of the four books so far I think Rhythm of War is my favourite (though Words of Radiance is also awesome). I also really love the first Mistborn trilogy, the first book in particular. It’s a tie between those books as to which is my favourite. As for favourite character it’s a tie between Kaladin, Shallan, and Vin. Trying to pick a favourite is so difficult when it comes to Sanderson. I love it all!

RoW blew me away and is now definitely one of my top picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ward's Guard he/him Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Welcome aboard Sharder! (That might be a term that could apply, I honestly don't know) You said that you're a cosplayer, do you have a specific cosplay that was your favorite? Also, do you have any tips for a guy who's looking to get into it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you have any tips for a guy who's looking to get into it? Thanks! When it comes to my cosplays I really love my Celes from FF6 and my Alyssa from Cosmic Star Heroine. (Hopefully the images attach to this post.) Though right now I have plans for a Syl cosplay that will probably become my new favourite once I'm able to make it. As for advice, my first piece of advice is to start simple. Cosplay doesn't need to be complicated or difficult or involve hours to do. There is something called "closet cosplay" which is basically looking in your closet to see what you have to make a cosplay. Look for a character with a simple design. Usually casual or everyday outfits work best. Then look in your closet to see what you already have that could work. It doesn't need to be perfect, just close enough. Then anything that's missing head to your local thrift store, dollar store, or discount store to find the other things you need. Cosplay can get very expensive, but if you keep it simple and are creative you can do it cheaply and effectively. Once you get some experience with simple cosplays then you can work you way up to sewing and crafting more complex costumes. I've been costuming for many many years, but this year I gave myself a challenge to create at least one closet cosplay every month and take photos of it. I was able to reach my goal so if you check out my facebook or instagram (links in my signature) you can see photos throughout this year of the various closet cosplays I've done. Hopefully this gives you some ideas. If you have a particular character(s) in mind let me know and I can give you some ideas. Or if you want to talk more about cosplay just send me a message. EDIT: I just noticed that the Gallery page has a section for cosplays, so I've uploaded images of my three Sanderson related cosplays if you're interested.

Aeternum they/them Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) One little detail here, nothing big, but mods prefer if you don't double post. (Don't worry most of us made the same mistake, I did ) You can tap the plus icon next to Quote on several people's posts to quote multiple at once! Those cosplays looks really cool!

Hoid the Former Drifter he/him Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 @Attentea, welcome to the shard! Who's your favorite character and which character do you hate the most? What order of radiant are you/ do you want to be? If you could choose one allomantic power, what would you choose? What about one feruchemical power? if you were a twinborn, what would you want to be? Of all the powers in the cosmere, which one do you most want to have? which of sando's books do you like the most? This includes not cosmere books like reckoners, legion, rithmatist How many more questions can i ask before you stop reading this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to cosplay as Kvothe (from The Name of The Wind) it didn't turn out well. . . I read the Kingkiller Chronicles this summer. It’s pretty good. That’s awesome that you cosplayed Kvothe. Do you have any photos? I’d love to see what you did. On 2020-12-20 at 9:11 PM, Hoid the Drifter said: @Attentea, welcome to the shard!

Favourite character is Syl, though Kaladin, Shallan, and Vin are also up there. Hated character, Sadeas is the first one that comes to mind. Knight Radiant order would be Windrunner. One allomantic power: Zinc. I want to enflame people’s passions so that they are inspired to do great things. One feruchemy powe: Copper. So I can learn lots and remember it all. Twinborn: see my answers above. Of all the Cosmere powers I’d want to be a Windrunner. Of all of Sanderson’s books Rhythm of War is my favourite, though the first Mistborn book is close. You need to ask a lot more questions before I stop reading. Lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is your least favourite book in cosmere? (Sorry for taking so long to reply) My least favourite book in the Cosmere is Warbreaker. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the others. A big part of this was that I was expecting something different from the story than what it was. I've been meaning to go back and re-read it to see if I will enjoy it more a second time around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
