  1. Yeah, this will pass. You'll probably suddenly be overwherlmed by tiredness soon.
  2. @Zathoth, I wish you happy things to celebrate another cycle of the Earth going around the Sun that your mortal shell survived!
  3. If he could, he would have done it instead of going through the Well Of Ascension which was getting more and more dangerous at the time. And while getting off Sel he had gone through the perpendicularity, so...
  4. More like "It is crazy how saying - sentences backwards - creates - backwards sentences - saying how crazy is it".
  5. Impossible. To get to Sel in the first place he had to go through the Cognitive Realm. And Connections are Spiritual in nature.
  6. Ekhm: Let's stop with that "canon until proven otherwise". As of Bands Of Mourning it's nonsense to say that anymore.
  7. Actually, it could be true - some Dysian could have wanted to keep tabs on the liar's family... (Shallan is one of the "four whom they watch" after all)
  8. I thinks it's cultural difference - here there is no such concept as "apartment without washing machine is cheaper" because everyone has one.
  9. I suppose the correct term is "ambivalence", right?
  10. Greatest quotes of 2017, part one Changing your habits, going out of addiction or losing weight share the same fundamentals: you gotta do it slowly. So slow that - perfect scenario - body will barely notice any change. If you're starting exercising, you start lightly and keep on adding on as you go. You can't just start doing hardcore exercise. For example, about a year... I think? Maybe ten months?... I decided I'll stop adding sugar to my tea. And I drink a lot of tea. I got from almost three teaspoons to one. I probably could do it faster but what's the point? Anyway, weight loss is not about "I'll diet and exercise and that'll do it". It's about changing your habits. Permanently.
  11. Because it's 81% of the THIRD draft. IIRC Stormlight is done in five drafts.
  12. ...not really. I'll allow Szeth to explain it himself:
  13. No worries. I even did the emoticon on the end and all... I did some reading on wikipedia about music and it's not so bad. I mean, I half-remember some things and I got a decent grip on physics too... But I could use some good, not very advanced, book on music. Or music theory. Basically, with a good measure of physics in it.
  14. Well, I'm basing it all off on my knowledge from like 12 years ago and I have never studied what are all these called in English Anyway, @Quiver, I forgot a thing: octave is 8 sounds. C,D,E,F,G,A,H (or B as you English folks call it) and back to C. That's why it's octave. 8 sounds.
  15. @Quiver, octave in music is basically what 10 is in decimal numbers. There are different sounds: C, Cis/Des, D, Dis/Es, E, F, Fis/Ges, G, Gis/As, A, Ais/B, H. Then you go back to C and all over. (technically F would be Eis and E would be Fes... if there was such a thing) This will be helpful: Between C and D there is a full tone. Between C and Cis there is a half tone. A tone is two halftones. An octave is 12 halftones. Halftone is the smallest distance between two tones. It's a music atom, kind of. Is this helpful? EDIT: Oh wait, you guys have B instead of H. Huh. But the rest still stands.
  16. I think they might be more concerned with the Apocalypse going on and literal demons from Hell returning.
  17. He is. Kenton's skin is lighter than Darksider and darker than Daysider.
  18. Wait, what? Lift got her Shardblade at Third Ideal - the same as Kaladin, a Windrunner. IIRC at the end of WoR Shallan is one step ahead of Kaladin and she spoke a Truth then. So earlier she was at Third Ideal level (First Oath + two Truths) and using Shardblade. Of course, Shallan is a massively non-standard issue. But so far we have consistently seen Surgebinders gain Shardblade with Third Ideal. Anyway, Kaladin was able to inhale Stormlight and used Reverse and Full Lashings before speaking even First Oath. Dalinar was also able to inhale Stormlight before end of WoR and his talk with Stormfather... there is some debate going on about when he spoke the First but I believe he swore both First and Second in Urithiru.
  19. I'm afraid gaseous form is Stormlight. Anyway, Roshar: 0.9 cosmere standard in size 0.7 cosmere standard in gravity high oxygen environment
  20. Just chiming in: I also have idea of magic music for some time now (those who frequent Creation Daily might remember project Lanternlight). But I need to approach it from a little more physics side... wavelengths, frequencies... I have some really basic music knowledge (I can read notes) but nothing advanced . Some recommendations where can I start researching? The setting is kinda steampunk but music magic is basically a means of survival there.
  21. Really? I only remember something about plants being watered with water from highstorm. Do you have a quote maybe?
  22. Dark skin on Darkside because they get a ton of UV. Particulate ring blocks most of the visible radiation, but UV gets through just fine. But it baffles me to why Daysiders have such a bright skin as they live under constant desert sun.
  23. Or even simply that because now she is on Roshar, she kinda influences everything by some degree. Compare Scadrial where P&R permeated everything.
  24. I think Wordpress is kind of too big and complicated for a blog. From my experience it's better for sites. I think blogspot would be fine. As for topics, I suggest gathering your old posts about stuff, refining it a little and that should be just fine. (for example, the Xorn thing?)
  25. *ominous music*
