I always assumed Emperor's Soul would work better as a stage play (musical numbers on the minor side). Stage trickery has easily advanced enough for things like the spontaneous mural and the pit trap, not to mention that you can refocus it onto being a character study of the central cast of Shai, Gaotona, Frava, and Ashravan very easily if you cut out the fight scenes.

No tears over here, but I definitely had a moment of respectfully glum silence for that brilliant man.

I thought the Dor (in all it's forms from AonDor to Forgery) was a hodgepodge of the remnants of Devotion's and Dominion's powers, manifesting through the land because there's nothing conscious directing the power like on Scadrial or Nalthis.

Hey, I've just exhausted all of Brandon's published Cosmere works, and I'm eagerly anticipating more books! And that Mistborn movie project. And most things Mistborn, come to think of it.
I'm overthinking this. Glad to be here!

In the Ars Arcanum for Words of Radiance, it calls the Surge of Adhesion a "Full Lashing" and the Surge of Gravitation a "Basic" or "Reverse" lashing. However, I'm wondering if a "Full Lashing," in addition to sticking things together, also makes the stuck things believe that down is the direction that sticks them to the other thing. Basically, I'm wondering if both Surges aren't being used simultaneously when the Radiant in question is performing a "Full" Lashing. Is there evidence to support this?

He's also the one who annotated that map of Elendel on the inside cover of The Alloy Of Law.

Mistborn - Spook has a Welsh accent. Terrismen and Women are ambiguously brown, and everyone else is white. Also, time bubbles red/blue-shift light.
Stormlight - Lopen is a one-armed Michael Peña. I don't care what the descriptions say, or how he's voiced on the audiobook. I can't say his lines in anything other than Peña's perky pseudo-mexican accent. Thunderclasts are a cross between scorpions and rock wraiths from Dragon Age, but bound together by lightning rather than lyrium. Broams are fist-sized, marks can fit in someone's palm, chips are those glass things you put in pots when you don't want to use soil. Szeth is bald (EDIT: Turns out he actually is bald! Hehe, who knew!). Sadeas has a Snidely Whiplash moustache, and is the only one on the Shattered Plains who puts more time, effort, and spheres into his hair than storming Adolin. Which is really saying something. EDIT: Pattern warps the pattern of whatever surface he's on at the moment to become fractal-esque, save for a central point of origin.

Mapping features onto Aons
in Elantris and Emperor's Soul
Posted
We know that Aon Aon consists of a straight line for the Arelish coastline, a curve downward for the Atad mountains, a dot in the center for Lake Alonoe, and another line coming off the curve for the Chasm. Furthermore, Some Aons, e.g. Aon Mea, have additions which correspond to physical features of the map (in this case, the x denoting an especially fertile valley and the extra shape around the central Aon denoting the region in which the Shaod can take place). In that vein, then, what do the 4 circles around Aon Rao really denote? The two circles encompassing Aon Tia? The Circle in the middle of Aon Nae? Heck, what are the rotated and mirrored versions of Aon Aon supposed to signify, map-wise?
