    I already told you I was doing Thaidakar. Up to you which world he belongs on. (He’d prefer Scadrial, obviously, but I don’t have a preference.)

    Cool! I remember learning the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in school! Blasphemy! The Originals were infinitely better! TPBM prefers the old EU to the SW sequel trilogy.

    Several: My Dad’s cousin is the Chief Rabbi of Gateshead, my great-great-great Grandfather was the Magdunas Eliezer, my grey-great-great-great Grandfather was the Kol Aryeh, my great-uncle’s father basically created Jewish Williamsburg (he bought up the Naval yards and donated them to the community) and I’m descended from the Nodah B’Yehuda. And, like 99% of all Ashkenazi Jews, I can claim descent from Rashi and the Baalei Tosafos. Also, I’m technically related to every other Ashkenazi Jew ever somehow, so that’s a LOT of famous people. Which one? Now I’m curious! I love Jane Austen! That is so cool! I used to. These days I prefer to read more slowly. I also have less time.

    Worth noting: Kelsier wonders why he can’t bring himself to go Beyond, then stops that train of thought abruptly. And, unlike Vin, Kelsier was twice Commanded to Survive by Preservation. I think those Commands had a much greater effect than holding Preservation. Brandon has clarified that Kelsier did care about the Skaa and it was part of his motivation. “Kelsier is definitely a heroic figure. He did a lot of right things. But Kelsier is much closer to being a villain than people see, because he was in the best place for him possible, which is being capable of burning something down. He is just really good at tearing stuff down, and he is a great agent of chaos in that regard, and great at coming up with masterful ways to mess up what other people are doing to get what he wants. And what he wanted in that story happened to align very well with the needs and interests of the general population, and he genuinely wants to do good and right by them. It's not like he's some antihero who is accidentally doing the right things. But he is arrogant; he is very, very driven; and he is very, very dangerous; which are a combination that could have led to disaster in other circumstances.” My daughter has the same problem as the Southerners, btw. Her’s was caused by a TBI. She can literally freeze in mildly cold weather. She has been cold in 90 degree weather so... Also, from 2019 on Brandon has said RAFO! to whether or not Kell will appear on screen on Roshar. Edit: Also, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... it’s obviously a chicken.

    The Catacendre (The Tower) The Catacendre, representing Upheaval and Transformation. The original name of the card was the Ashmounts, but it changed over the first century following the Catacendre.

    Kelsier laughed. “And that’s why I like hanging out with you.”

    WoB is that TLR did not create the BoM. The Sovereign was involved. I ran into that one by accident.

    Kelsier smirked. “You realize you just repeated what I said, right?” Draco inclines his head slightly, ingrained manners taking hold. “Draco Malfoy.” ”Harry Potter,” Harry said, offering a bad imitation of Draco’s head tilt.

    Well, someone would have to let Dalinar know what Shallan’s done first...

    “Ah, but then you are your own audience. There is no one better suited to seeing the humor - or critiquing it.”

    “Welcome to join,” Eryn offered. “Can return tomorrow.”

    Carapace is hard and stony and Singer gems had a lot of flaws. Cracking a gem isn’t that difficult if you know what you’re doing and your nails are basically stone.

    Smiling Eryn allowed Zola to drag her toward the mine’s exit.

    Kelsier smirked. “In my experience, the value of a joke is determined by its delivery and receipt. You can have the best joke, but if your audience doesn’t recognize the humor than it will ALWAYS fall flat.”

    Kelsier raised a brow. “I thought your names were Gred and Forge?”

    The blond sniffed haughtily, looking away. “I suppose that was... kind.” It sounded like the admission paid him. The dark haired boy glared at the blonde. “You suppose? It sounds really nice to me.” He turned smiling. “Hey, I, um, didn’t get you names?” ”Kelsier,” Kelsier repeated. “And it sounds like these three have some history.”

    Kelsier shot the twins a mock glare. “Well, that’s hardly polite.” He turned back to Harry. “Sorry about them. It’s nice to meet you. Both of you,” he added, making sure to face Draco as well. The blond haired boy scoffed slightly. “What else would you expect from Weasleys?” Kelsier smiles, a slight edge to the grin. “Kindness, I suppose. Seeing as they’ve been nice enough to shepherd three lost foreigners about all day.”

    Kelsier smiled, heading toward a shop reading Madame Malkin’s Fine Robes for All Occasions. He pushed open the shop door, grinning rakishly at the squat woman in mauve. She turned away from the small, dark haired boy whose robes she’d been pinning. ”Madame Malkin, I presume?” Kelsier asked, bowing slightly. The woman tittered lightly as she glanced at him. “So polite! Here for robes dearie?” ”Yes,” Kelsier answered. “For me and my friends.” Madame Malkin nodded, pointing toward a small settee. “Wait there, dearie. I’ll be with you just as soon as I finish with these.” She nodded at the two boys standing on platforms, the dark haired main character, and blond boy with pointed features. Kelsier smirked as he looked over the two. The story lines were weaving around them. Rivals, it seemed. Well, wouldn’t that be fun to tweak? Eschewing the sofa, he headed over to the two boys. “Kelsier,” he said cheerfully. “I’d offer a hand, but I doubt the ladies would appreciate it. I don’t suppose you’d care to introduce yourselves?” ”Draco Malfoy,” the blond drawled, obviously trying to sound sophisticated. It was a good attempt, but a bit overdone in Kelsier’s opinion. ”Harry Potter,” the second boy said. The first promptly whirled about, causing the assistant to cry out in dismay, even as she turned to stare, as did the shop owner. The dark haired boy sighed. “Um... hi?”

    El knew because Raboniel sent a copy of their studies to Kholinar.

    My two year old loves it, lol! Maybe because I drank it when I was pregnant? Yes, because it’s morning and I just got up. TPBM has more than one child under age ten.

    “Clothes,” Kelsier agreed cheerfully. “And Brandon is my ghostwriter. Now, where was this clothing store?”

    I wasn’t saying how big of role those elements would play, just that there’s obviously some thematic mirroring. Its not about the reasoning; it’s that Kelsier won’t care about the comparison. He’s aware of it already and deliberately played it up for unknown reasons. It’s not going to bother him. Any comparison will be for us - not him. The only time Kelsier really sits down and reassesses is when he fails or when his plans succeed, but have terrible consequences. That’s the only thing that really makes him aware of the lengths he’s gone to and that those may have been too far.
