It's his hitherto unknown Epic power? His Rending involved sitting random people down and never breaking eye contact no matter how hard they tried?
-
I'm not sure. My memes were working okay, and I upload them straight from Imgflip. Your new icons are working well now.
-
I think it might be this site, actually. I went to revisit some old favorites on the Sanderson Memes thread, and none of the images there were working.

I just left a gas station that sold cold cheeseburgers in individual plastic wrappers next to slightly squished tuna sandwiches. Arizona, you scare me.

Confession: I don't think the Hoover Dam is really worth seeing.

Pulling into fabulous Las Vegas now. Not terribly impressed so far. It's a bunch of buildings surrounded by sand. Whoopee.
-
I approve of this.

Prof I can see. Megan was freed from the corruption in Babilar, so I don't think this prologue makes as much sense for her.
-
Do I propose calling them "Obliteration chest burgers" for simplicity's sake, or does that sound too wrong?

Northern Nevada is creepy as heck. The second we crossed the Idaho-Nevada border, six casinos were waiting for us. There are casinos at rest stops, for crying out loud. All around you is a vast wasteland with hardly any cell service. So I'll be out of touch for at least part of today. And I'm never moving to Nevada.

You'd have to ask Kobold and Edgedancer. I'm afraid I have no idea.

Behold: The world's most distracting gif!

I love how sneaky Taylor is at baiting Glamour.

"Heheheh....once this half-repaired leaky pipe bursts in the middle of the night, I shall have my revenge and it shall stink to high heaven! But not for me. No, for me it will smell sweet. Metaphorically speaking." Somehow, I don't see the Evil Plumber trope catching on. I wasn't worried about the fact it's been done before, exactly; more the way it's been done before. In everything from Doctor Who to X-Men comics, the Sinister Minister is pretty much obviously evil from the beginning, and he always claims that he's doing "the Lord's work" while punching orphans and punting puppies, and everyone always falls for it and the writers act like they're breaking new ground. I want to go for a more...I don't know if "reconstructive" is the right term, but I do want to make it more grounded. Show how ministers allow their beliefs to be tainted by personal prejudice and pride, until they can't even see where they went wrong anymore. Maybe I was worried about falling into those pitfalls of the trope. Like, if I go this route, would I wind up derailing his characterization out of convenience or something similar? And at the same time, I know it's a trope some people find irritating or offensive, so that worried me too.

I'm considering changing a few names and roles around in my WIP--making Whitelaw the main antagonist instead of Stombaugh, giving Whitelaw the retrocognition power, and making him a minister. Though I'm still trying to decide on the last one; is the Sinister Minister trope played out, or do you guys think there are still ways to play with it? Or should I give him another occupation entirely? I'm thinking he's the reason Susan doesn't go to church anymore, and making that the root of their conflict and eventual enmity.
-
I don't see why we can't have both. Ah. He's in Corvallis right now, though I also find it easier to recall facts about threads I'm currently involved in.

Oh, it's easy to grasp. 1. Wonder who Steelheart should be shipped with. 2. Think of the most horrifying partner you can. 3. Picture their first date. Make it awkwardly sappy. 4. Add glitter. 5. And a pug. 6. Grab the pug and run away screaming as Steelheart gazes longingly into Faultline's eyes.

So many cows in Idaho.

So would he use the +1 Bare Chest of Lame, or the +1.5 Covered Chest of Shame?
-
What if Backtrack joined the tournament?
-
On the bright side, Nighthound's +3000 Bare Chest of Creepy might convince Obliteration and Remington to see if the Bare Chests of Judgment and Vengeance together can stop him.
-
Am I the only one who thinks there should be a Bare Chest Championship Tournament?
-
Someone into tabletop RPGs might look at those pictures and the title of the book and wonder if Remington killed Koschei with his "+500 bare chest of smiting."

What does your heart tell you?
About six more hours until I can see the pugs, according to my Maps app.
