The Invested Beard

The power to be a giant douche.

It's possible. These three epigraphs have definitely moved me out of the Jasnah camp.

Wow guys. So much good stuff. My biggest takeaways are: Probably an Aviar I'm fairly convinced now that Tezim is either Ishar or Jezrien. Everyone else has hit on the reasons why so I won't repeat them here. Mr. T...Hard to tell if faking or not. I'm going to say not, but still definitely working towards a predetermined goal in his prodding. I cannot wait for whatever the twist with the "voidspren" is. I mean come on guys it can't be straightforward at this point. Too many little hints from Brandon that all is not as it seems. I'm digging the possibility of Stonewarden spren but not sure how exactly that is going to work. Oh and RELEASER! Finally. I've been really curious about them for a while. Excited to finally get one introduced.

You see as you are undoubtedly aware, we men stand up to urinate. As such we reach down to the roll of toilet paper instead of up from a sitting position. When the toilet paper comes from under, it presents a challenge to the action of tearing, creating a situation in which we are forced to bend and stretch in many unnatural and uncomfortable ways. And don't tell me you don't use a square when you pee you heathen. Just try it once, you'll never go back. Okay that got weird. It's late and I may have had a beer or two. I'll see myself out now.

Over. There is a reason for this. If I have to explain it you aren't a man.

It would be quite the Elvis level fake death if she wasn't. Everyone that knew her or even knew of her seems to think she is.

Also, there is speculation that Wayne could become a worldhopper in the future. I'm definitely holding out for that one.

We do have a WoB that says Honor didn't die until after the recreance so it's probably for sure that is a memory and not a fear.

What about Shallan/Dalinar/Adolin?

Lucky me.

Used to play a lot of Warhammer. These days I mostly stay away from Miniature games due to budgetary reasons. That's a hobby that can take over your spending quickly. One of my favorite tabletops right now is Dominion. It's a realy fun deck building game. Everyone should play it it's super fun.

I've thought about this. Maybe the strata light up inside as well and we get some cool lighting/color effects in interior shots.

Don't be so sure. I'm pretty confident something like this is going to show up in OB.

Yes but what's the Cosmere context? I don't think I've ever heard the term in a Sanderson book. If I have it's completely slipped my mind.

Fan-freakin'-tastic!

See I'm already something else. What in the Cosmere is a spinner?

Basically there aren't any 1 to 1 analogies straight across from Earth theologies to Cosmere stuff. As in nothing in Cosmere directly represents something or someone specifically from our world. It's the difference between Tolkien's Middle Earth and C.S. Lewis' Narnia.

I'm not sure all that matters as Brandon has stated previously that he's more in the Tolkien camp of non-analogous writing when it comes to theological perspectives and stories.

*Dalinar pats his pockets* CRAP I think I left my shardblade on the nightstand!

RAFO

That's okay, I like to read with my eyeballs. Which I totally have. Because I'm not a sapient beard. Yeah. Thanks though!

Socks and sandals are ONLY for going to take out the trash when it's chilly and you don't want to take time to put on actual shoes.

@C. M. Hayden Picked up book 1 to check out today. Wasn't sure I wanted to start with book 0 since the release is after book 1 and didn't want to spoil anything for myself.

Well he ain't never had a friend like Syl so he's got that going for him.
