    If. To be honest, I hadn't considered that yet. I don't think she's had much chance to see shipping yet, being a puppy raised by an Epic. But she does understand the concept of happy people = good, sad people = bad, so if she saw a happy couple she'd be able to make the connection that those people + together + kissing = happy = good. So she could, theoretically, come to understand the concept of shipping.

    Kobold King…of the sock puppets? You're right. I should scrap my plans to have Protector Pug bring the Unicyclist an actual Shardblade. I'm still not sure how that would've worked out anyway.

    …. Did you hear that? That was the sound of everything suddenly making perfect sense. (Yes. Yes, they would. And the destruction would be shiny, but it'd be hard to hang the ornaments on the tree….and touching them would cut your hand, and….where was I going again?)

    No, you want to see Nathan usher in a Golden Age during his glorious reign as Hand-God of the Northern Climes.

    WASN'T IT THE MOST AMAZING EPISODE EVER CREATED IN THE AMAZING HISTORY OF AMAZING AMAZINGNESS?????

    NathanXSunburst or NathanXRevolution? NathanXSunburst might not work for long, but NathanXRevolution would totally last, even after Funtimes banished them both to the Sock Puppet Dimension. Apparently without meaning to be. To me, I was just standing up there, going "Look at this awesome book I liked! I think you'll like it too!" and I guess they all liked it enough to tell their friends.

    I might have to tone it down IRL, though. I doubt many people would be pleased if I told them their one true love was an undead raptor. Yeah….I wasn't expecting it to go on this long, to be honest. Not that Brandon's books aren't amazing, because they are, but it's been a good five months now, and I haven't been able to find a copy of Steelheart in my local library in all that time. And I haven't even seen a copy of Firefight on the shelf since it was published.

    If you're in my area, the library might not be your best option. See, I did a book talk, which is basically a trailer for a book you like, back during my internship with a public library. Months later, all copies of Steelheart and Firefight are on hold (there's one ebook copy of the latter with 22 holds on it) and Mitosis is also on hold. And I haven't been able to find anything by Brandon in my public library lately, either, when before that book talk there was almost always a copy of Words of Radiance and one of The Emperor's Soul on the shelf at my library. Oopsie doopsies?

    For being concerned about public opinion on the life cycle of cheese.

    This is why I'm grateful for my job: I can buy Brandon books with dollars instead of organs.

    I don't know about your local library, but mine has an ebook copy as well as something called OverDrive. It basically allows you to download ebooks and read them on your browser, rather than to a Kindle or iPhone. (Alternatively, if you have a smartphone, it'd probably be possible to download a Kindle app for free and do it that way.)

    It's currently $1.99 in the Kindle store.

    So summoning any set of bagpipes, then? That would make a lot more sense, especially since the first thing most Epics would do after realizing what his bagpipes can do would be to destroy them. And now I'm getting the mental image of Lightwards shooting the bagpipes, only for the Unicyclist to summon another set. (Maybe...)
  14. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Quick opinion poll: I was considering making the Unicyclist's bagpipes work kind of like a Shardblade. Not in the sense that their song could cut through souls (well, except maybe with Lightwards, but that's just because he'll find the song so annoying that what's left of his soul will disintegrate ) but in the sense that he can summon them from anywhere, provided his weakness isn't in effect. Thoughts?
  15. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Your Epic weakness?

    Khione doesn't want Iconoclast to hog all the fun. (Did you know that if you only type the first four letters of Khione, my phone autocorrects to "Ohio"? Now I wonder if it'd be possible for Crush to fight Ohio.)

    But the reasons for downvoting a post aren't always self-evident from the start. The last post of mine that had a score of −1 (that wasn't an accidental downvote, to my knowledge) was what I thought to be an inoffensive Doctor Who joke. I still have no earthly idea why it was downvoted. Did I say something offensive without meaning to? If so, I'd like to know exactly what so I can avoid saying that sort of thing in the future. Did I say something offensive in a different thread and this stealth downvoter just wanted to get their point across? If so, again, I'd like to know what I said that was so offensive. Was it an accident? If so, no hard feelings. I've accidentally done that before, and I think a prompt for a reason would help curb that, or—if the votes were still permanent—would allow the person who voted that way to say "Oops, sorry, finger hit the wrong button on my stupid phone."

    Unless the accent was a power, it couldn't be gifted. And I'm completely on board with humor, but the only way we've seen gifted powers completely altering personality is when said powers corrupt a non-Epic or drive them insane. So…not the funny kind. If he ordered his vanillas to talk in ridiculous accents and killed them for refusing, that might be a more plausible (and Epic-like) reason for that. (And in the future, try to stay away from double posts. Just edit the old post. )

    Welcome! I'll let Comatose comment on how those ideas would fit in with Corvallis, but my biggest questions are 1) what is the dividing line between "Epic he'd work with" and "Epic he wants to destroy"? and 2) how would gifting his powers make people talk in English accents?
  21. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Sounds like it. Does your school have just one art teacher, or a couple?
  22. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    We aren't really told anything about Waterlog, or exactly how his powers worked for him. From what we've seen of motivators, though, they don't work for average people the way they worked for the Epics they mimic; they just approximate something workable. The gauss gun in the first book imitated an energy Epic who shot energy from his hands, whereas the gun was, well, a gun. I think Waterlog was able to summon water at will, and most likely utilize it with far more precision and grace than David had with the spyril.

    Oooohhhh, I remember a student teacher who treated us that way. She once had us stand up, saying—and I quote—"Now we're going to learn kinesthetically." Yes, yes, I'm very glad you learned that word in school, but we don't like when you make us learn that way. We're sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and we don't like standing up and singing stupid songs. Why did your teacher draw on your art?
  24. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Okay, I read the rest of the burned primaries pages while getting my car's oil changed, and I realized something: In the Reckonersverse, Fallen Ravenclaws are scary. More Firefight spoilers.
  25. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    I don't doubt that for a minute. Lightwards as he's currently portrayed is dark enough to kill an elderly couple because he needs a few zombies; I don't think there's much that could truly be considered out of bounds for multideaths!Lightwards.
