I...I have a new long-term costuming goal. https://twitter.com/Sabriality/status/696856567292043265 But no. Armored Jean Grey first. Then Eva. Then....maybe this. Or steampunk fairy.

No, I think she wore it before. He told her to keep it during the discussion about Allomancy and jewelry, telling her that the earring was OK because it was a piercing.

Yeah, even when Ruin was still trapped, all he needed was a spike in a person to be able to whisper to them.

But...but...but brussels sprouts are nummy.

Dangit, why do these always seem to go up while I'm at work?

The basic explanation is thus: the different magic systems are created by an interaction between the Shards and the planets that they're on. Magic would exist without Shards, but it'd be super low-level stuff that would be scarcely noticeable. You have different magic systems because 1) different Shards exhibit different properties based on their Intent, 2) Shards interacting a planet creates a system, and 3) Shards interacting with the planet and another Shard creates yet another system. Also, welcome!

You get a Shardholding Willy Wonka. I hope you're happy. *inserts excitement, adventure, and really wild things*

Even more unpopular opinion: What's the point in watching halftime if there's not a proper marching band field show? I share this opinion! (Meat should not be crispy.) Eve 6 is fantastic. So is Imagine Dragons. And Lindsey Stirling.

Somehow, I find myself thinking that this would be perfect for angel food cake.

"Testicles" is an anatomical term, and the most clinical way to describes them. If anything, I'd say that "balls" is a far more vulgar word to use for them.

I...I try to ignore the fact that 4chan exists. Life is much, much better that way.

Don't look now, Twi, but...I think you're catching up to Kobold's rep. No. But whatever it is, I think it needs to be murdered with a spork. Your mother must have a really hard time with mirrors. She can look straight at herself and never recognize what she's staring at.

See, I have a much bigger problem with the deep-fried bacon than the idea of eating bug bits.

Dangit, I'm behind the times. I didn't even realize that Netflix had the second half of season 5 up, and y'all are talking about season 6!

I don't see why it wouldn't be OK. Having a mental image of a character in your head can really help when you're picturing scenes in your head. (and seriously, if I can get an entire trilogy of novels worth of story ideas out of what was supposed to just be a dang cosplay persona...)

I've figured for a long time that the people who say that sort of thing are under the very mistaken impression that this world has a shortage of bad intentions.

Eh...it can vary. Some people like ketchup on everything, others not so much. I like it on fries, and I'm a terrible person for preferring it over mustard on hot dogs. Really, the stereotype should be about ranch dressing. Dear gods, people here put ranch dressing on everything, and I hate the stuff.

If it isn't drenched in cheese or deep fried, it ain't 'Murrican food. Excuse me, I'm going to go over in the corner and quietly weep for my country now.

And then convention season starts!

I really don't think it did. Wayne demonstrated crude language/behavior before Bands of Mourning. Granted, was implied off-screen, but there was nothing in the previous books that indicate that this is at all out of character for Wayne. ETA: Also, what we saw in BoM really wasn't that dirty. At least, not from the point of view of a jaded 38-year-old.

Yeah, but time bubbles are different. You're not just messing with your age using Investiture, you're actually experiencing time at a different rate from the people outside the bubble. I don't see that this should be treated any differently from standard time dilation shenanigans.

It's appropriate for Wayne. I think it'd be a lot more jarring to see him suddenly picking up socially acceptable language on a general basis. That'd be totally out of character.

It's a thing with...balls and...sports and stuff. (Seriously, we're so out of touch with this stuff that we spent most of last weekend thinking it was last Sunday.) Yeah, we just wait till it's all over with and they're posted online.

The thing that Miles does that normal Bloodmakers can't is he keeps the healing going constantly. He's never not tapping/burning for healing, so he's got a never-ending influx of power. The reason he can do things like heal from a shotgun blast to the head is because his body is already healing. For Wayne, healing from an injury takes a certain set of steps. 1 - Oh, ow, I'm hurt! 2 - Turn on healing. 3 - Yay, all better now! The biggest reason he's unlikely survive a shot to the head is because he wouldn't have the chance to consciously start the healing process before he was dead. Miles just sort of...skips all that thinking nonsense and heals instinctively.

So, apparently there's some big Sportsball Thing today. Um...go Owlbears?
