Oversleep

Oh yeah, it is. *proceeds to eat a whole jar*

Here's a bigger picture: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLfErcCV4AApk3A.jpg:large @Pagerunner Could you put it in the first post?

The superior choice is homemade chocolate butter, of course.

I changed my name to Overstorm in celebration of the approaching Last Desolation that is in the Oathbringer. I think I need to change it back, new Sharders don't recognize me :<

@jofwu You have not taken into consideration on of the biggest issues I have with your model: you assume the Windrunners to do unconscious Lashes upward they don't notice doing. Which is a massive stretch since Basic Lashing is the hardest Lashing to do and it have to be learned and practiced, yet you argue they all do one up instincitvely from the get go while struggling to make others. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that in Model B the Lash is 2g? Then how do you explain Szeth Lashing something sideways three times and refering to it as falling at three times greater speed that normally? Mind you, it's not that hard to measure this stuff and Szeth was trained in Surges - I think he'd known if there was something funky like that going on.

My model for how Basic Lashing works: Basic Lashing makes (part) of your mass exempt from gravity's pull and instead makes it pulled in choosen direction. One full Basic Lashing cancels all of planet's gravity on you and then makes all of your mass being attracted in another direction. However, a partial Basic Lashing only cancels a part of planet's gravity: half a Lashing upwards leaves only half of your mass being attracted by the planet and the other half being attracted up. Effectively you'll float. A quarter Lashing upwards leaves 3/4 of your mass attracted by planet and 1/4 attracted up. Effectively only half of your mass is being attracted by the planet. Therefore, when dealing with multiple (more>1) Lashings we do not factor in planet's gravity because there is no mass that's left to be affected by it. What's interesting it's how partial Lashings downward would work: turns out they won't do anything and the normal pull downward would remain. This is true for any partial Lashing down up to one full Basic Lashing down. Now, we have instances of Szeth Lashing himself down to restore normal gravity to himself - perhaps if the downward Lashing (less or equal to one) is the only one affecting you then simply gravity reclaims its grip on you.

Oversleep back at proposing totally mundane explanations which upend entire lines of reasoning again!

Strangely encaptivating. Please continue.

It could also happen much later. Like Hoid came visiting to a Shardworld and the Vessel there offered to give him his Shard?

No. I mean yes. Assuming she also got unsealed medallion granting bendalloy Feruchemy, she would be able to tap the bendalloymind for calories which she would then be able to convert into Stormlight.

@The One Who Connects said it's this one: I don't have time to look for the transcription doc if there is any. I pulled it out of WoBinator 4000.

It does not necessarily mean Wit IIRC - it could also indicate worldhoppers?

3. It was unable to do anything, similarly how Harmony will have a hard time to act given his opposed Intents. I wouldn't read into that. It was confirmed Adonalsium came from "Adonai".

Well, it does not mean they're native - they might just have come to Roshar before Shards did... (however, is it even possible without perpendicularities that Shards make?) Nontheless it's something to take into consideration. Unless the spren that bond humans (Nahelspren or Radiantspren as some call them) have only realized they can once Honor created Honorblades. I could see it happening that way - the non-sentient spren could naturally bond Listeners, however those who are sentient and sapient needed to realize they can. EDIT: Here you go

It's very, very cool! Also, is the book & flame Isaac's artistic choice or has he consulted you on the stylization?

Granted, it was already in the final stages of plot when it got cancelled but the end is rushed nontheless.

@Left Have you finished Psyren yet? If not, I feel obliged to tell you that it got cancelled and author had to make ending quick and as such the end is not that great. Best to start managing those expectations now. But, apart from that, it's a great series.

Now his sighs are bolded and italicized! What's next, sighs size 72?!

I prefer to think of them as isotopes. (Bands of Mourning spoiler, kinda) Actually, honorspren claim to be the most Honor. There are some who would agree with that and some who would disagree. He only said that Honorblades are parts of Honor.

Well, maybe...? *turns on appreciation* I'm not sure how I'd handle stuff should my mom join the Cosmere groups I admin So I can kinda relate to this situation!

*backs out slowly*

In Chapter 40 Demoux says he's been sick for two weeks. This was after they found out that the number of days is 16 but it was not out of place for him to say just two weeks. In chapter 47 Elend in his internal monologue even says "The men who, like Demoux, had lain sick from the mists for weeks, instead of a single day". So the information in coppermind goes like "people were sick for three months (96 days)..." since in one place it was said three months and later clarified to be 96 days, but it does not mean a month is 32 days. Does that make sense?

Something like that? https://what-if.xkcd.com/10/
