Curiosity

At some point, Raoden tells Galladon that Duladen is under Fjordic rule, and that Jesker is no longer practiced. Galladon responds with sadness and remarks on the lack of authenticity of the Jeskeri Mysteries. This conversation was perhaps given as an indicator as to the mechanism by which magic is made on Sel. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and posted some speculations here.

poke, you forgot to ask a question lol

Thanks! 

Would you rather: Own a proximity detector fabrial, or own a pain-diminisher fabrial?

If you're looking for the shorts, I'd wait, since there's going to be a collection of Cosmere short stories coming out later this year all in one place. Arcanum Unbound is the working title, I believe.

Seeker. I think that bronze is the most underrated metal, and while it's more useful for Mistborn, I think I would waste a lot of my life if I were a Slider. Can't wait for that thing for an hour? Ok, instead of doing the dishes, I'll just burn cadmium.

Doesn't Tony Stark pretend to be one to avoid Coulson in the beginning of Avengers?

Yup. People have also speculated that the Kaenigs were LMD's of one person. 

Stormlight, very little question to it. There's more of it, for one, and there's (in my opinion) more cool stuff in it. 

Would you rather have a spanreed or a pain-diminishing fabrial?

Life Model Decoys... Where were they? The holograms?

Mare Tineye

8. Cronus' Scimitar

9. The Spear that killed Kelsier

10. The Mistletoe (The only thing that didn't swear to harm Baldor in Norse mythology. Look it up. It's sort of sad and somewhat similar to the story of Achilles.)

The Flintstones

Stimieing Indices Demonstrating Eloquence, Victoriously Obliterating Erudition's Scarcity

ALKENE

Now I finally know why the Foundation trilogy is regarded the way it is. I love the epic feel and the changing perspective of the Foundation over the centuries. That, added to the fact that there is still a question of whether they're going to succeed over the years, makes a really enjoyable story. 

I'm also in the middle of the Fionavar Tapestry by Guy Gavriel Kay. It's a well told story. 

I'm only up to three...

And that includes mistletoe.

I am very much liking Khriss now. White Sand, come so I can get more Khriss.

Just finished Imager. I enjoyed the world and the magic quite a bit, and I'm always a fan of teachers and students, but there wasn't a lot of tension in the way it was written. I also read The ABC Murders in the space of twenty-four hours. Agatha Christie is really good at what she does. Moving on to A Cat Among the Pidgeons.

Nifty things, owl pellets. Never could understand why people didn't like 'em. They're little packages with puzzles inside.

Here, I'll leave a plate that's got some grease on it. (I'd give you the cheese knife, but I need it for the owl pellet.)

1. Homo (Humans)

2. Drosophila (Fruit flies)

3. Gallus (Chickens)

4. Malus (Apple trees)

5. Escherii (Coli)

6. Diaemus (Bats of some kind)

7. Streptococcus (Bacteria)

8. Mandrillus (Baboons)

9. Bellis (Dasies)

10. Mus (Mice)

This is a very well written quiz. It made me think.

What?

Hrathen's a very interesting person to read and has a good character arc. But there's also...

Also, Hrathen autocorrects to Heathen, which I find a touch odd.

"We are men of action. Lies do not become us."

Did anyone already mention Hogwarts' new IT guy? (Caution: One or two less savory phrasings.)

Puppets

I forgot about this thread until it got bumped... ha. So a friend of mine requested something with Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin for Christmas, and me being me, I decided to write a ketek for the three of them. I feel like my keteks are a little bit ridiculously long, in that their "five parts" tend to be... like full sentences. It's 53 words, but whatever. Long keteks are just more fun.

 

Two Soldiers, Two Radiants, Two Lighteyes

Families found broken in pieces

Plainly shattering this light within

 

Loved one became liar

Spearman turned slave

Proud prince defeated

 

Raise Light up!

We bind fate as fate binds us up

 

Light raises defeated prince’s pride

Slave turns spearman

Liar becomes one loved

 

Within light, this Shattered Plains’ pieces

In brokenness, found family

Feather. How are you so good at this? Classical ketek it is not, but... it is beautiful. (I'm head-canoning that it's about Dalinar instead of Adolin. Dalinar forever! Or until Brandon kills him in Oathbringer. )
