Favourite Obscure/Side Characters in the Cosmere
Kobold King replied to Iredomi's topic in General Brandon Discussion
As an animal person, and more specifically a bird lover, I genuinely felt sad reading Warbreaker a second time and watching Tonk Fah's parrot and its amusing antics. -
I look forward to disagreeing and debating with you in a lighthearted manner! I'll upvote you later, I've been handing out upvotes like Halloween candy all day.

Of course. And David is David Tennant.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Kobold King replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
What... that's not how all of us found Sanderson? -
Or he doesn't properly believe in the power of belief, thus rendering his belief not believable enough for the universe to believe in.

Don't forget that Prof is John Hurt, and what he did, he did in the name of peace and sanity.

On behalf of the Guys and Gals of this Forum, I hereby post your first welcome to the magnificent 17th Shard.

Aaaand we're off topic. RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL TOPIC OF DISCUSSION. OBEY! O-BEY!

... This looks a little more eldritchly terrifying than what I had in mind.

Much better. We all link to traumatic endings, if you think about it. But that's OK. That's good. As long as you keep moving... hold on, I should probably stop there.

Can we find another phrase to use besides "regenerating"? The word "regeneration" implies something slightly different. End of Time from Doctor Who:

Favourite Obscure/Side Characters in the Cosmere
Kobold King replied to Iredomi's topic in General Brandon Discussion
There are so many side characters I've loved. Lopen. Rock. Dalinar's sergeant. Lift (she counts as a side character, right?) Mab the cook in Warbreaker. Parlin and Tonk Fah's parrot. And of course, Nightblood. Who else... this isn't Cosmere, but I liked David's dad and Conflux from Steelheart. -
Indeed. Somehow this: Is more exciting than this:

Or don't bring it up in front of them and just take our word for it. That way you won't "disappear" for asking the wrong kind of questions, like so many other new members... Welcome to the forum, by the way.

The "Wit"-iest Character in the Cosmere
Kobold King replied to Fatebreaker's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Yeah, definitely Wit. I mean, it's in the name and everything. -

Would You Like to Destroy SCP-682 Today?
Kobold King replied to Kobold King's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Wait a minute. Remember the Church of the Broken God? They're trying to reassemble Adonalsium by gathering heavily Invested items. Dr. Kobold: Request to places instances of SCP-504 on Thread-12364, AKA "Hey guys, why am I afraid of my post count?". 05-12: Request denied. -
You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Kobold King replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When the Joker says "I'm an agent of chaos" and you wonder what secrets staff is hiding from us. Why would you hire an evil clown, Chaos? WE TRUSTED YOU. -
Soulcast the Dalek's shell into something soft and squishy. Plunge a Shardblade straight through the forcefield and into the squid within. Leave Nightblood lying around on Skaro and watch the hilarity ensue. The possibilities are limitless.

The conclusion to this arch will undoubtedly be the most ridiculously epic story on the forum. I don't suppose we could work a Dalek into this somehow? Maybe Weeping Angels vs Inquisitors? Figuring out whether Inquisitors could see stone statues could be fun.

Just to play Voidbringer's advocate, there's no reason why two different Hoids couldn't have visited Scadrial. Or that street informant!Hoid is the same as Well of Ascension!Hoid.

Would You Like to Destroy SCP-682 Today?
Kobold King replied to Kobold King's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Maybe we could Forge it into being killable? Or let Ruin try to destroy it? I love SCP-294 (and think it's hilarious that it's Joe's favorite). I wonder what we could use it for... maybe a cup of lerasium? A cup of Investiture? A cup of Adonalsium? -
Would You Like to Destroy SCP-682 Today?
Kobold King replied to Kobold King's topic in General Brandon Discussion
SCP-682 (when asked why it had killed humans): "They were... disgusting." I get the feeling that if exposed to Nightblood, 682 would somehow convince him that humanity really is disgusting, and thus by twisted logic, evil. Then they'd team up and we'd all be crying for Vasher or Hoid to come save us. Hemalurgy? That's probably our best guess yet... though one of 682's more devilish attributes is its ability to mutate and adapt to face new threats. It'd probably hijack Hemalurgy somehow and use the spikes to its own advantage. SCP-682 a horcrux? I am really, really terrified of the dark wizard who made that. The only thing I can think of would be to try Soulcasting it. Nothing can survive having its Cognitive aspect permanently and fundamentally altered... right? If that fails, use whatever splintered Adonalsium on it. -
I have noticed several references on the forum to SCP-682, the "Hard-to-Destroy Reptile" made famous by the internet creepypasta wiki. The wiki, for the uninformed, is about the fiction "SCP Foundation", an immoral organization which locates paranormal items and entities, and contains them away from society. From the article: 682's chief claim to fame is that it seems to be impossible to destroy my any means. You can blow it up, and it'll reassemble. You can poison it, and it will adapt its body to metabolize the toxin. You can create an entire pocket universe where the sole underlying law of physics is "682 must die", and it will somehow warp reality just to survive. But let's be optimistic for a moment. Brandon Sanderson has created a universe filled with overpowered, extremely dangerous powers and weaponry. Surely something in the Cosmere is capable of destroying the lizard? So how about an imaginative exercise: state your idea to kill SCP-682, and I or somebody else will come along and explain to your precisely how it will survive and proceed to ruin everything you love.

Well... I personally think that knowledge of the Cosmere increases enjoyment. Whenever a character gazes up at the night sky, I happily think "We as the readers have seen worlds around those stars. This truly is a vast universe unfolding before my eyes." Hoid also becomes infinitely more interesting, if a little frustrating. You read through the books, reveling in the mystery, soaking up any clues you can possibly gather. Then Hoid comes along, and you realize "This man knows all the answers. This man is important, and the sheer scale of his importance transcends the very book he appears in." Hoid's story will not be completed in Stormlight, or the first three Mistborn novels, or Warbreaker, or any of the other books we've seen him in. When we read the about the exploits and quirkiness of Hoid, we catch a glimpse of a much vaster storyline. WoR spoilers:
