The level of cute is unreal.

Doctor Wait, What?

Or, The Shardvengers: Infinity Weird

I heard the working title is Space Bear. Can we call it Random Stuff X: Shard Bear?

Forge floors as people step on them so that someone happened to place a lego under that person's foot and it is still there as they step.

The Ire are from Sel. But they do namedrop the Threnodites.

So, are we gonna start a new Random Stuff thread when the title of the next Star Wars film is revealed?

I made a Stick joke to my best friend and she replied with "Riiiiiiiiiiight..." and a slow, confused nod.

Every time I imagine Prof, I imagine Goran Visnjic. I don't know why, but I do.

Thundersnow... adding that to the long list of hypothetical thrash metal bands I could form if I even remotely liked thrash metal.

I hope so. That would be storming awesome. Have you never experienced a snowstorm before?

Don't let the brain weasels get you down, Quiv. You can do it.

Like, every day is a different alternate universe, exactly the same except a day behind the last? That's my take on Groundhog Day. This is really interesting. I'd love to see this play out.

So, doing some light reading in English class, on the Unmade and on Miles and Trell. I have made some connections. On Pre-TLR Scadrial, Trelagism was (and continues to be) an important thing: (from the Coppermind) Trelagism was a dualist religion named after the god Trell. Trell's opposite was Nalt, and the two were believed to be brothers. Trelagists believed that night was sacred and daylight was profane. During the night, Trelagists were able to see the Thousand Eyes of Trell (the stars) watching over them, but during the day, Nalt, jealous of the worship given to his brother, would shine his single eye (the sun) on the land, blocking Trelagists from seeing Trell's eyes. One can speculate that their religious observances, if they had any, were at their height during the winter months, and summer months may have contained many petitions to Trell or attempts to ward off Nalt's jealousy. Also, in the Purelake on Roshar, very similar religiosity occurs: (also from the Coppermind) The name of the Purelaker religion is as of yet unknown. They worshiped a god known as Nu Ralik. However, according to mythology, Nu Ralik had a younger brother, a jealous god known as Vun Makak. The Purelakers felt that they had to appease Vun Makak by pretending to worship him. They believed he was the source of all their misfortunes, but pretended to praise him for them. They often voiced gratefulness for Vun Makak's curses. The only time they were free to worship Nu Ralik aloud was in one of their holy grottos. These are very similar, yes? This brings me to my second point (don't ask how; it just does): remember the Unmade? Freaky antispren named conspicuously after demons in ancient Judeo-Christian tradition? One of them, the one called Moelach, is the one responsible for the death rattles (I already have a thread on this but I can't find the link and don't have the time). As Miles died at the end of AoL, he said some very cryptic, foreboding things. As I reread this, I thought of the Death Rattles. Could the influence of Roshar have somehow crept through? We already know that people from other worlds have visited Scadrial in the past, but could the Purelakers' religion have influenced Trelagism (or vice versa)? Could Moelach's influence be seeping through to Scadrial? This demands further study. So... thoughts? Angles? Impressions? "No bleeder you're digging too deep into the whole Unmade thing just leave it alone for Harmony's sake"?

My cat somehow let himself into my room at two in the morning, probably thinking: 'Oh, yeah, I'm gonna walk into Cam's room, and lay on his bed for a minute. Oh, hey, I'm gonna close the door behind myself, because that's a terrific idea. No, not gonna go on the bed. I'll just go get in the closet and meow for a few minutes then go roll around on the floor and up against the door and repeat this for a few hours because he's not waking up."

@Silverblade5 You're the most dedicated friend of literally anyone. You don't deserve this kind of stress, and Alex doesn't deserve this kind of mistreatment from her family. I hope the best for both of you. @Oversleep Just... be careful, okay? People on this site care about you a lot, and we don't want you to suffer.

I couldn't have said it better myself. This is good advice. They are strange. They'll stare at you in chorus like they want to say something but they'll never... talk... to... you... High school girls, man. Weird things.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/floperry/just-19-really-really-cute-pictures-of-cats?utm_term=.cb72bo228#.ra4NQrNNy There's a bit of profanity, but it's 19 cats so it's worth it.

You are a very reasonable person. What have you drowned your cares in tonight, Oves?

Oh, you're one of those people advocating for the erasure of the Sandstorm from Night Valean History Books. Not that anyone reads those. Who reads books? Not me. Too dangerous for my tastes. Oh, I finally wrote a song. And it's kinda decent.

I had the same realization, but with chord progressions.

See, that's good. And I can write music to that. I just am not great with my own lyrics. Maybe I just need inspiration.

Kay is secretly an Epic with parodying powers. This is beautiful, by the way:

That... is better than most things I've written.
