Controversial Opinions
The Invested Beard replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I'm still really looking forward to The Doors of Stone even though I'm tired of waiting for it and feel like giving up. -
On my latest read through of the books I'm getting the feeling more and more that being considered as a radiant isn't just about having cracks in your soul. I think every single person has them to an extent and I don't believe the severity is the gauge by which the spren measure who is worthy. Remember, you have to actively say the first oath and not only say it, but mean it. I think it has to do with realizing and working through what that means somehow. Not sure exactly how to put it into words but that's where I'm at with the whole thing.

So thinking about this further, would this make willshapers the Rioters and Soothers of the Rosharan system as one of their ability sets?- 58 replies

Lies of the Beholder Reaction Thread [Spoilers]
The Invested Beard replied to Chaos's topic in Other Stories
First time reading the stories or anything about them. Always wanted to check them out, and then when Brandon announced he would be releasing the third I purposely stayed away from learning anything about them until the full thing released. Yeah I know, I call myself a fan? -

Lies of the Beholder Reaction Thread [Spoilers]

Is it weird that I imagined all three of the main hallucinations as the actors they were based off of before Brandon let us know that? -
Legion is Sanderson's Metaphor for Himself
The Invested Beard replied to Alfa's topic in Other Stories
I just wrote basically the same thing in my reaction post. I think you've hit the nail on the head. -
Lies of the Beholder Reaction Thread [Spoilers]
The Invested Beard replied to Chaos's topic in Other Stories
I can see why Brandon has said this is such a personal story for him to tell. To me it's quite obvious that the aspects are something of a stand-in for characters that Brandon has lived with in his head for so long they have become almost real to him. Or if not real, at least important. Fantastical or not, this story at its root is metaphorically autobiographical. -

I agree with most of what has already been said. Definitely look into finding the correct format for your script. Work on variations of the lines using contractions and more casual speech to bring a sense of every day conversation into it. Only go formal when the character needs it, like the angel or the king. I also agree that Esther should be introduced in this first scene after the prologue if she is to be the main character of the play, even if it's in passing. Otherwise, keep it up! It's great to see a play set in this story, it's one of my favorites.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it would, that's just the real question here. Honestly it won't really make a difference unless it's a name we've heard before at this point, which I doubt.
-
I think the wording of the question should be what is his original name. Real name could be taken too broadly.

I'm pretty sure Brandon has addressed the animated movie question by saying the market just isn't wide enough for that to be justified and they would never get it off the ground. As for a live action show? Seems like he's leaning that direction and I can see a major company going all in as high fantasy is making something of a comeback in pop culture right now.

I'd give you a hug, but I'm just a beard. And yes, I liked Justice League as well. So sue me. -

What Are You Listening To Now?
The Invested Beard replied to Chaos's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Heck yeah I posted the whole 5 acts last page. Love TDH. -
Olympic pet peeve? All the news commentators acting like the North Korean cheerleaders are this amazing thing when in reality they're being forced to smile and dance or else they and/or their families will be killed and it's never mentioned. All this touchy feely stuff only lasts so long as you stay ignorant to the methods of the scary scary totalitarian dictator.

[OB] Religion questions
The Invested Beard replied to Carla Bridge Four's topic in Stormlight Archive
This. Just because he is currently at a level below the SF and NW doesn't mean he was always that way. I have a feeling he was on the same level but something may have been stripped from him to make him the "lesser" being he is presently in the books. The WoB in question only deals with what Cusicesh is at the current time and leaves lots of wiggle room. I could be completely wrong though. -

I was going to say Dave. Pay attention people! This is why we do re-reads.

The entire story so far of The Dear Hunter: One of my favorite concept album projects. -
Time for another not well thought out crackpot theory based on happenstance! YAY My brother and I were recently talking about this WoB: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/127-salt-lake-city-comiccon-2017/#e5112 It got us to thinking. What overarching concept permeates the Cosmere? Adonalsium. Wait a second, doesn't Adonalsium sound like the name of a metal? We have Atium and Lerasium, Aluminium, etc...And metal can be shattered.... I think we might be on to something huge here guys...
