Kobold King

I for one can scarcely wait. Sure thing. But I claim all upvotes for koboldkind.

That's a very good analysis of the two shows. You're right; Phineas and Ferb's status quo is so unbreakable that it becomes a recurring gag in the series itself, while from the two episodes I've seen so far Gravity Falls seems to hold a good deal of continuity between episodes. (The second one had a direct reference to the first, with Dipper asking Mabel whether she'd gotten a picture of the gnomes from the first episode. It was a simple thing, but it did wonders to stress that the characters perfectly retain the memories of their experiences.) Not having seen any more of the series, I can't answer your well-worded points with anything else but an upvote. In other news, I watched a YouTube video that pointed out all the subliminal messages in the opening credits. It was... strange. Honestly, I've seen videos of UFOs and supposed cryptids that didn't send as many shivers down my spine as it did.

Added to the Pony Vault. I like him.

It's almost as if General Zoi never foresaw that her creator would be used to ponify the strange and unconventional characters of a brilliant fantasy writer. "My fellow Americans.... Putin is way tougher than I am and he's scary HALP!"

Still working on him. It's hard making a pony that's sufficiently rugged in the creator, and there's no beard option that I like at all. As long as he stays away from the Giant cook's bookshelves.

I think there's a good reason Vasher doesn't just leave him out in the open where anybody could feel compelled to touch him and get slaughtered by him. Oh, wait. That's exactly what he does. In the Marvel Universe, Backtrack would be the one person who gets exposed to gamma radiation and dies instead of getting superpowers. In Gotham City, Backtrack would be mortally terrified of clowns, but would end up pressured into becoming the Joker's assistant. How long he'd live depends on whether the Joker thinks Backtrack is as funny of a joke as we do. In Middle-Earth, Backtrack would finally hit a stroke of good luck. A fancy gold ring, just lying out in a field! Content that things were finally looking up for him, he'd put it in his pocket and walk away with it. In Narnia he'd wander the country, constantly being terrified out of his wits by every talking beast, dwarf, Marsh-Wiggle, or sword-carrying Narnian lord that he comes across. Finally he'd stumble into the court of the Gentle Giants of Harfang, where he'd live in peace and luxury for the rest of his days.

I'll leave that to your impeccable imagination. I hate being "that guy," but you wrote "Nighthound" instead of "Nightblood" twice in the last post. If it makes you feel better, I didn't notice it until the third readthrough. The problem with Nightblood is that he's an imperfect tool for measuring morality--being a sword, he's not exactly qualified to do the job. And his lust for destruction is such that if he gets a strong scent of evil like that coming off of an Epic, he'd probably go into a destruction frenzy right away. It would probably be very hard to train him not to murder all Epics right off the bat. If Backtrack went to Scadrial, he'd uncover the Lord Ruler's dark secrets through retrocognition, but would keep quiet about them out of sheer terror. Nonetheless, the Steel Inquisitors would assume his power was achieved through the use of a new Allomantic metal, and would spike him posthaste. If Backtrack went to Sel, he'd be struck by the Shaod. And he'd travel not twenty paces into Elantris without tripping, falling on his face, and spending the rest of eternity mumbling "Why me?" as a hoed. If Backtrack went to Roshar, he'd be eaten by a whitespine. That, or he'd manage to suck up to a highprince long enough to get assassinated during a power struggle. Either would fit him. And finally, if Backtrack went to the Rithmatist-verse, he'd be the only Rithmatist to regularly walk face-first into his own Line of Defense.

You made my stomach growl. Welp, time to head to Nalthis. I'm know I left my worldhopping pants somewhere... So the question boils down to: what level of self-centeredness does Nightblood consider evil? Clearly he sees people who are willing to harm others for personal gain to be evil. Would he consider kidnapping to be a major enough offence to warrant immediate destruction? (On that note--if taught how to do so, could Nightblood come to recognize the difference between a person's innate evil and the corruption endowed upon them by Calamity?) It's clearly a tough question on many levels. Similarly I'm not sure whether Backtrack could touch him while at his best, but I guarantee you that even if he could wield ihim he'd only be able to run five steps before tripping and cutting himself on his blade.

Oh c'mon. If any Cosmere planet has tacos, it'd be Nalthis. Would Epic!Funtimes be able to wield Nightblood? She's self-centered to the point of criminal self-indulgence... but would Nightblood decide that she's evil?

I believe that one of their Ideals will be either "I will destroy my enemies" or "I will destroy evil." Either way, this would help Adolin bond a Dustbringer spren (flamespren?), given his characterization by the end of Words of Radiance.

That seems about right. "Goddess, do you divine anything from this painting?" "Oh... I'm divining something all right." "Really? What is it?" * pulls out paper to write it down * "Your goddess has divined... THAT IT'S TACO TIME!" I could see Lightwards as the god of the dead, who commands the largest body of Lifeless and constantly pushes for war with other nations to unite Nalthis under Hallandren rule. Altermind would be the god of intellect, admitting only the brightest of priests into his retinue. Nighthound wouldn't get to be a Returned, because Endowment is way pickier than that.

I'm necroing this thread, Quiver. You owe the Kobold Capo a favor. To the rest of you: have you got the horrible songs from Equestria Girls stuck in your head? If so, then you are in desperate need of this hilarious literal version of "Helping Twilight Win the Crown." You are especially in need of Sunset Shimmer's part at the end.

We've speculated about what WHIO characters would be like on Scadrial. But there's another pressing question... If Funtimes were a Returned, what would she be the goddess of, and what would her Lifeless codes be?

Out of curiosity, which would you rate higher as a children's cartoon: Gravity Falls or Phineas and Ferb? I've heard you speak highly of both.

I saw the episode "Legend of the Gobblewonker."

On that note, use Lashings and a variety of small household knick-knacks to actually write the word "gullible" on the ceiling. Tell as many people as you can when they enter the room.

We know. Believe me, we all know. Also, I barely had enough time to post the comic twenty minutes ago, so I didn't get a chance to say this: every time I read that chapter list for What Happened in Luthadel I laugh more.

We all need help. We all do.

That's no stick. That's a member of the insect order Phasmatodea. It should be burned as a blasphemer and a false prophet.

Personally, I would like to canonize the idea of Sharkbait and Wandersail looking exactly like these two: And Blackwave should look like the Team Aqua captain. Just because. Timeport's probably never read the Bible all the way through, Lightwards doesn't understand ecology half as well as he thinks he does, Fortuity probably doesn't know more about "extospicy" than he learned from a dictionary entry about it, and Blackwave is less qualified to talk about pirate history than Johnny Depp.

I'll go one better. I'll sic a glaring Trixie on your homework. Also, I found this Pokemon comic today. Somehow I can't help but imagine it as illustrating the difference between Lightwards and Blackwave as leaders.

The powers of Backtrack, Glamour, and Ray combined to bring about one glorious scene. I can dig it.

I miss Swimmingly. Hasn't logged on since October, and still in the top ten list. And he knew how to jury-rig Hemalurgy like nobody's business. (Least of all the Dark Alley's.) Adonalsiumspeed, my fishy, spikey friend.

Aye-aye, cap'n! I'll get a Backtrack/Deathwish post up... schooner rather than later! Ha ha ha ha ha... I hate myself.
