    People here would probably say Renarin. I would too, either him or Elend.

    I completely agree with you on this one, Stormy. "Hey, you're about to die. Let's do the sex," is not poignant, to me. Especially for Brandon, it would be idiosyncratic at best. Though for some individuals sex is the pinnacle of romance, in my view it is not. This sort of walks back to the "humans are more than just death and sex" thing. That's a really cynical way of looking at life, my man. We have art, we have music, we have literature, we have love. These are the things that define us as us, not just the will to survive and proliferate. We are wonderful, intricate, beautiful creatures, whether made by a higher power or not, and we are more than just highly intelligent animals. We have culture, and the things within that shared culture that define us.

    So there's kind of a guy. And I say kind of quite loosely as he lives about an hour and a half away from me. We met about a week and a half ago at a choir function and have been texting back and forth ever since. He loves music, and musical theatre, he's all kind and funny. I'm gonna ask to hang out when he gets on break in two weeks. I'll keep y'all posted.

    That one made me laugh loudly.

    So apparently I have been within 20 miles of the legendary Daveed Diggs for the past day.

    River. Oh, River. Where are we now? Have we met Jim the Fish? Love Jim. Really though, hi! Welcome to the Shard.

    Did you hear about the Dysian Aimian in the city in the Pacific Northwest where it rains a lot? Yeah. Sleepless in Seattle.

    Quick question for y'all:

    When I go to see All Hail in two weeks, should I dress as Cecil or Steve?

      A lot of the Cecil's I've seen painted a purple "third eye" on their forehead, if that helps?

      If you want to go a bit further afield from your regular wardrobe, Steve might be a better choice. Unless you want to go even further afield and do something like John Peters- you know, the farmer?

      (Sadly, I suspect two days simply isn't enough lead time to build an elaborate costume comprising of five mechanical, puppet-operated dragon heads.)

      Two weeks, but even still.

      Oh, bleh. Sorry, mis-read that!

      More seriously... if you want, you could maybe go as something Night Vale inspired? Like, take elements from different characters you like, put it in a blender of your own style, and come up with a fictional Night Vale character? I mean...

      Maybe that sounds like a cheat; I'll concede that on some level it is. But Night Vale is a pretty big town, and we never see more than a tiny fraction of it's citizenry. There's room for OC's is what I'm saying :ph34r:

    I'm further east (way further east) than Nashville, originally from North Carolina. Lived here... 7 years? Maybe 8.

    @TMonsta FINALLY! Another Tennessean!

    You would not be getting a third.

    Happy birthday, Pinnacle!!

    Just finished Shrine 120. The reward is pretty damnation cool.

    Condescending internet-people.

    I would be down to. I enjoyed listening to the almost Marxist-philosophical story of how her upbringing shaped who she was for the first 20 years of her life. It's a very interesting, compelling talk.

    *bats at nose annoyedly whilst inhaling deeply* Agh. Really, though, y'all, this dude wins Best Intro 2017. Welcome to the 17th Shard. *"The Ballad of Fiedler and Mundt" by Disparition starts playing softly in the background*

    Nope. Just in general.

    A few weeks ago, Twi is a pug-based superhero and as a helpless teenager I have been forced to don tights and become her sidekick, so my one condition is that I must be rainbow-colored, and thank you

  22. marsoupial
    That is an exceptional worldview and you deserve a pat on the back. *pats on back* Go you.
  23. marsoupial
    I concur with Twi. Look, man, your suggestions and opinions are yours and are valid, but if he were to change all these things you suggest (and, side note, the method of suggestion wasn't exactly the best; you wouldn't walk up to an admired artist and say "I like your work... but I like that other person's better; change this, this, this, and this," but I digress), if Brandon didn't write in the way he did, and hadn't garnered up enough avid readers like ourselves to his wonderful works, this site wouldn't exist. Sanderson is Sanderson, not Jordan or Martin. And we love him. tl;dr: I'm sad to see that you spent up some of your free time penning this thorough letter telling my favorite author where he has gone wrong, but thanks for your input.

    Edge, hush! You don't want them to know our weakness.

    Make the chin a tad longer, the jawline a tad squarer, and the facial features a bit more angular.
