Context for WoB 14625

[GoWibble he/him]

Brandon Sanderson

In fact the original draft that I submitted to my writing group didn't yet have that scene where he go-goes. I was like "I'll get around to it eventually." They almost revolted. They're like, "WHAT? He's still alive?" I was like "No no. He will go-go. I just have to find the right way to write the scene." So they didn't actually get to read that scene with El and [Lezian].

Definitely one of those Brandon ending scenes that are just like "Wow there's some weird stuff going on here."

So many new questions.

All these weird Fused who've been around way too long. The guy [El] that they gave his name [Vyre] to Moash.

Can someone share the context behind this? I'm not parsing something here.

Not sure what you're finding confusing. Brandon just said that that scene with Lezian dying (with El) wasn't in his alpha draft, but it existed in later drafts.

Thanks! I guess that the use of pronouns threw me off. And "Go-go"ing? that threw me off enough that I guess I completely skimmed over the names and then I got more confused from the Vyre part

It's obvious that he meant that after perma-killing The Defeated One, "El" (no relation to Elend Venture) climbed up into a cage suspended from the ceiling, put on some 1960's era music and a pencil dress, and got down to gyrating.
