I would like that feature. I would like that feature very much. I've only done it once, but I live in terror of it happening again.

I also read once that when we see live-action movies or TV shows, we can still identify with the characters, but we're seeing someone else's story. But when we watch cartoons, that psychological barrier is down, allowing us to see characters as extensions of ourselves and making it that much more personal. But when the stories themselves are deeply personal….well, that's a whole other layer of trauma and catharsis.

"But then the former 4, angered at the change brought upon him, called upon his ally the 7, making himself seven times more powerful than the 2 and 14 times more powerful than a simple 1." Yeah, that could work.

Kobold, I couldn't decide whether to upvote that post because I agree, or downvote because it made me so darn sad. I finally decided to upvote it, for the same reason "Hurricane Fluttershy" is one of my all-time favorite episodes. But I am informing you that I considered the opposite, for the same reason I have to watch "Hurricane Fluttershy" alone.

I am a grad student. As such, I do a lot of reading. The books I read are….shall we say, less than interesting. I do my best to read them. I do my best to pay attention. Yet every time I get more than a few pages in, I find myself drawn, as if by a magnet, to more interesting works. Let's face it: Brandon Sanderson's works are addictive. Once they get going, it's nearly impossible to put one of his books down. And this is a problem for a student who just wants to finish her reading and pass her summer class. So. I have an idea. It's brilliant. It's crazy. And it's totally going to work. We get Brandon Sanderson to write our textbooks. I don't know how we'd do it. It'd involve a lot of fan letters, a lot of asking nicely, and probably a good deal of whining. But once he buckled down and did it—well, we'd have the perfect solution to grad school! A textbook that is nigh-impossible to put down—and a host of classes that are nigh-impossible to fail. There is no possible way this can't work, guys. It's foolproof.

I do like your idea of slipping her a copy of Mistborn so she'll be too engrossed to bother about homework. Then again, she might turn it into an assignment. It's called "Information Seeking Behaviors," so she might have us do a report on Vin and Kelsier's quest for relevant information about the Lord Ruler. Actually, that might not be too bad.

What Happened in Portland

"Criminals, huh?" Despite the Capitulation Act, despite the turf wars, despite Steelheart's success in Newcago, criminals was still something of a catch-all term for anyone who did anything that might be considered unsavory. Many a vanilla had pronounced Scorch a criminal before meeting a flaming demise. He stepped forward, marching in slow, deliberate circles around the vanilla. "What kind of criminal? Like you, or like us? Because if they're like you, then you can handle 'em. And if they're like us…" Scorch let his hand rest on the man's shoulder. He was already tense from whatever illusion Altermind had placed in his head. "Then I'd like to know why I wasn't in on it." -
"You're the Master of candies and sugar now, is that it? Is that what you've spent centuries of corruption and murder working towards?" "Yes!" "Oh. Well. Well, then, I hope you're happy!"

*bows* Thank you.

And the Master says...
-
This is my highest rated post so far. Yeah….
-
I must read further in Mistborn so I get the joke. Curse you, teacher, for sapping my reading time!
-
Before I go to bed, I must fulfill a promise. As Knight and Knitter of the Court, I give you….
-
I will give you yak meat. Oh, such yak meat will I GIVE! ....as soon as I'm near a computer. Phones aren't great for posting pictures.
-
Is....is the Knave going to be okay? One does not use crying Trixie pictures lightly.
-
Argh, I felt the same way about Jane and Thor! It's like making her a scientist was a halfhearted attempt at making her smart and strong, not an integral part of her character. So much wasted potential. Especially next to Cap and Peggy. And Tony and Pepper, for that matter.
-
Hope you guys have fun!
-
Um….I was literally asleep at the time Quiver drafted me into the Dark Side of Equestria, so….um…. Yak meat? Smooth, Twi. That was smooth.

He has summoned the ponies, silly! There is no betrayal here. Only friendship.
-
But....the ponies ould never overthrow Elsa! They are gentle creatures whose magic runs on friendship!
-
Someone needs to look into the "no multiple up votes" thing because it's really starting to bum me out.
-
I don't want them to take over. I just want to see Olaf as a pony. And Anna. And Kristoff. And I'd like to see Hans losing in a duel with Discord, please.
-
More, Quiver. I demand more.

Stuff that Must Have Happened

Which would also explain why none of the other Epics really liked him much. Why Iron Man doesn't ask for help. -

"Autograph. Sure." Scorch was painfully aware that he passed Altermind's entrance exams by the skin of his teeth, but even he knew no one sought the ruler's autograph. Not unless it was for some permit or another, in which case it was called a signature. He did like the way the vanilla called him Commander. It had a nice ring to it. "Your outfit sucked, by the way. You don't look a thing like me." "He's ugly!" Flashpoint chirped, obviously intending to draw similarities between the ugly vanilla and Scorch himself. He was rewarded with a fireball tossed at his arm, and Scorch was rewarded with an indignant yelp.
