  1. @Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Erikson is currently going over the copy edits of it...so end of 2021, first half of 2022?
  2. Oh, I always make that connection when I can, it's infuriated me so! Between the Magic novella and Apocalypse Guard, we had a perfectly reasonable explanation for why The Lost Metal wasn't written. I'm now convinced that was a lie Brandon wanted us to believe. I'll say specifically what I mean later, but I believe once it's finally released, we'll have the "true reason". It also fits in with why he wanted to release Shadows of the Past and Bands of Mourning a couple years apart instead of within months of each other as Tor ended up doing. I'm still going to hate on the Magic novella and Apocalypse Guard, though
  3. @Bremen Not surprised dark age Europe got their taxonomy wrong!
  4. Maybe there's some technical difference between a Connection and a Bond. Like a Bond could be something that is wholly Investure based (as we understand Investure) whereas Connections are just things that arise naturally (though can be affected or percieved by Investure)
  5. You're describing a wyvern! And it's not called Wyvernsteel, it's called Dragonsteel!
  6. I think she was too focused on combating Rayse. In his letter to Hoid, Harmony speculates that he should be more concerned about the Shard's intentions/ influence instead of the specific vessel. I think he's about to be proven right.
  7. Good! Dragons SHOULD have four legs!
  8. Was there ever any doubt? I had read before the season premiered that she was filming scenes that weren't for the Mandalorian, so I at least did not have any doubts.
  9. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 by a Mr Floyd.
  10. Dark magic cult WITHOUT human sacrifice?! People need to not waste our time! 

  11. Well, at least you got to read a solid trilogy before then!
  12. Lectures on the History of Philosophy Vol. 1 by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel.
  13. A post after my own heart! Also, it's the Magic novella's fault... and Apocalypse Guard! Especially Apocalypse Guard! I think it's interesting that I was off by only a year for The Lost Metal (I said we would see it in 2021). I would say that could be due to the Covid Pandemic, buuuuttt, I'm not sure. This IS a dire ommision!
  14. Mix your Hegel with your Marx responsibly, kids! 

  15. Yeah, I'm glad they cleared that up. I know I was confuzzled about it!
  16. The following is the best Weird Al song... everything after has been downhill!
  17. You are welcome! Though seriously, there isn't really an "in-world" explanation that doesn't involve "Din just wasn't himself because stress" explanations. There's only structural explanations. Which is bad writing, but that's Star Wars!
  18. Finished watching season 1 of Hilda, which is good because season 2 just came out!
  19. So the plot can happen.
  20. First, and most importantly: Dubstep?! In MY Star Wars?! Booooooo! It's also odd that we probably won't get a continuation of the story next season:
  21. *Reads entry on W & W book 4 in State of Sanderson*

    Boooo! Hissss!

    1. The Ward's Guard

      @The Ookla's Guard It's actually a very good update. I just hyperfocus on specific things! 

  22. Next Stormlight book will likely be in 3 years. Then, the sixth will be written after the Era 3 Mistborn trilogy! (And maybe after Elantris 2 & 3 and Nightblood, those books are hard to get a commitment from him! ) Of course, that's assuming things haven't changed, today's State of the Sanderson should clarify the release schedule a little.
  23. I'm listening to the only good Christmas song
  24. It'll be fine. The biggest issue we'll face is that the TV shows won't matter too much. Like Agents of S.h.i.e.l.d. We get something that is hopefully better but that isn't going to tie into whatever crossover event will happen in the future.
  25. Secret History is great! But it relies heavily on its association with other Mistborn books and the Cosmere at large.
