Hopefully.

A band with a bassist that doesn't know what they're doing is worse.

I'll do drumlines to songs stuck in my head, guitar riffs, whatever. I get easily distracted.

So can I... when I want to.

There used to be a "Take On Me" one but I can't find it.

She's really good, guys.

I will often tap rhythms with my fingers on things and fiddle with shirt/coat buttons and such.

So, I recently got a signed first edition of Shadows of Self, and a day or so ago I began a reread. I noticed some things, one big thing in particular. On page 58, Marasi is interviewing some urchins on the street, who, aside from making some suggestive comments and making her blush, mention a character from "nursemaid tales": the Man of Hours. From what I've managed to gather, the Man of Hours was a storybook figure who lives "at the edge of dusk". From the way Marasi reacts to their mentioning of this man, he is a commonly recognized figure in Basin culture, but in the vein of kid's stories rather than mythology. As I read it, an idea struck me: the Man of Hours, at the edge of dusk (presumably far, far away). I think that this "Man of Hours" is Kelsier, in the Cognitive Realm, during the events of Secret History. Kelsier walked to the edge of the lands he knew, all alone, for hours and hours and indefinite amounts of time. He then returned to Luthadel, and hung around while the world ended and begun anew around him, and now we assume that he is still around, making mischief and such. He then began consulting Spook (the Lord Mistborn) as he ruled. We know that Spook had children, so perhaps Kell told Spook of his journeys, and Spook passed those stories on to his children, and so on and so forth. Perhaps this is one of the examples of Kelsier's influence in Era 2 that Brandon referred to? We'll have to wait and see. So... Thoughts? Angles? Impressions? Input would be great. Thanks.

Maybe we'll see that on Threnody?

So I was listening to Triptych again last night, just for the tears fun of it, and I realized something: I go to Desert Bluffs High School. DBHS is the initials of my school and I almost started laughing aloud at 10:30 PM when I realized that that would be Desert Bluffs' initials too.

Cosmere Trek?

Relatable.

If it's far enough in the future, cultures could have melded enough for anything to be possible, culturally.

I was not alive in 2000.

Alright, alright, this is getting Old-ium.

You have a very good point. Perhaps another culture invaded Scadrial and used Hemalurgy to gain their talents, et c? These are always possibilities.

I haven't seen Assassin's Creed and I do not plan to. New discovery: if put at the right angle in one's mouth, guitar picks make a buzzing noise when you hum not unlike a kazoo. Anybody bored/willing enough to let me attempt to entertain you with guitar on the Discord? I have nothing else to do except make eggs and do homework.

I have already posted a thread discussing this. Here's the link: After having read Sixth of the Dusk, I still find this theory to hold water.

I go to one of the best high schools in Tennessee. It's not plain ol' public school; we get an hour for lunch (or at least we used to, it's on hiatus now 'cause some people did stupid stuff). But it's a good school.

Off with (his/her/their) head!

Yes, please.
