More or less, I now imagine Ruin and Preservation as two control systems simulating sandbox VR-Scadrial. They're hooked up to everything, but they grief each other nonstop due to programming. Odium is trying to hack into Honor and Cultivation's server (which Adonalsium just left lying around to be used years ago) over from Braize, but has to use roundabout methods to get things done because he's dealing with two Admin abusers. He finally managed to kill Honor's account with a surprise move, but Cultivation is still around and the NPCs are walking around with Honor's inventory drops.

Not sure why you're quoting that, because nothing either of us said actually relates to each other directly.

Isn't Renarin kind of expected to be nearby to either Dalinar and Adolin most of the time anyway though? Especially since they've been together for the vision-recording sessions with Navani since WoK. Nobody pays attention to the person who is supposed to be there. He just needs a good distraction meanwhile.

They'd run out of metalminds to burn before they reach anything, out in a vacuum like that. I don't see how the bubble cancellation is an issue when we are just trying to get the vehicle to defy relativity, and the people inside certainly don't want to experience quite that much time. You want the ship to be moving ridiculously fast from the perspective of the passengers as well, or they'd be awake for some millennia or so, and that's not happening. Nullifying the dilation would actually make sense, if not for the fact that we need to solve the problem of the g forces you'd get past the light barrier.

I know we're referring to double copper (as the post itself made clear) but I'd like to point out that the title "copper twinborn" can refer to any of 31 different combinations of metallic arts. Stronger/clearer memory seems a popular theory, but I'm still a bit bothered by the notion of additional investiture being able to restore details that technically no longer exist in a conscious manner . . .

Because people are . . . born that way? We have people with hair that is literal gold in coloring and things like herdazians, and people having lighter eyes at birth somehow seems an alien concept? In all seriousness surgebinders' eyes could very well be due to some effect stormlight has on the spiritweb, which would potentially be hereditary. You can claim that change in color isn't permanent and all, but technically neither are inquisitor spikes. Or descendants of shardbearers. Moash's eyes seem to be at a normal level of light, while Kaladin is apparently lighter than any king when he changes, and the one Radiant from the Feverstone Keep vision had eyes that apparently might as well be white with slight tint. We don't know if the lightening from dead blades is temporary.

Marasi?

No, I'm not a Returned, so I don't diie a little each day. It only makes me wish I can burn cadmium.

If shardplate and the oathgate slot are locked spren, then I wonder where they wrote down the measurements for them. And how those things can morph to fit around whatever you put in them despite being locked in.

However much investiture that is worth, it certainly doesn't stop shardblades. When you can presumably block those even with a sufficiently awakened tablecloth.

I don't believe that diary even belongs to Marsh. And we really shouldn't be taking diaries as proof when even the author sounds like they're trying to convince themselves.

I see. . . that's . . . rusting odd.

The best part? He put up with everything that came in that scene and took it rather well considering. Then Dalinar goes "btw I'm now dating your mom. Deal with it" and he basically drops his jaw in shock.

I now have this hilarious image in my mind: *minor Mistborn trilogy spoilers*

Something something diseases, was it? Or was that a different minor world . . .

Isn't the third planet Ashyn an inhabited minor shardworld though?

Assuming Hoid is lightweaving his hair color constantly with his weird Yolish magic then doubling on systems is probably possible. Though whether surgebinding fails completely outside of Greater Roshar is a problem. Parts of a nahel bond's properties apparently come entirely from local realmatics, IIRC, something that will even happen to a seon and its bonded master if in range.

Same windrunner tries to lash a chasmfiend to the sky and accidentally full lashes his hand to it.

Misery seems accurate for Elend considering . . .

We do use the word "Justice" more though . . . Which reminds me, he's been doing way too much of the executioner's job lately and not enough of the judge's. Yet another way he's a bit screwed up.

Calling it "mythological" is a bit extreme though, for something all the terris probably knew the cause for, since I would think that non-castrated terris men kind of have to exist for the race to still persist in a breeding program so long. Rashek didn't just kill everyone despite the danger, so he probably wanted his people to continue on, and kerping them pure would be even more important as everybody else in the empire risks possessing allomantic genes. They can castrate them afterwards, sure, but I do believe long bone growth generally only happens when the procedure is performed before puberty.

Edgedancer gets hurt, and tries to Regrow themselves because stormlight was taking too long. Suddenly strangled by vines.

“You just recognized this because the killer was making others do his work for him, which is an expertise of yours.” You know you're good when a Ladrian tells you off for making others do your work for you. Interesting that it seems Terrismen haven't had elongated features in a long time. Maybe Harmony's fault when he fixed human physiology?

I can tell you this. In some circumstances dumbness can prove to be an advantage over mediocrity! Teaching yourself alchemy and jokes are two prominent ones.

Well, dung generally does contain a decent amount of nutrition for a few creatures. Makes good fertilizer I'm sure. Still has a lot of uselessness in it though. Maybe a little bit of trace crem. Some sorta-toxic nitrogen. The works. Perhaps 1 or two atoms of gold, who knows.
