  1. Chasmfiends eat men, but can men eat Chasmfiends? Are they edible? I always thought they sounded like crab... stew and chouta sounds good though. I'm a fan of stew.
  2. MEMEME! Recently been obsessed with One Punch. I haven't drawn anything for a decade but have started practicing so I can do my first fan art, or something along those lines. I've rewatched it about 4 times in a short time span- mostly for 'the' Saitama expression, I think. The same one throughout. Lol. I'm super hyped for the second season! I've watched AoT too. AoT is weird, in my opinion. It has a few great moments/revelations but once you get used to it the rest is kind of slow and meandering. I kind of get that the immediate threat is the Titans they meet, but I feel it kind of goes survive, survive, plot teaser, survive, survive. Or something like that. I still enjoy it, but I'm not eagerly awaiting next episodes like with some other anime I've watched in the past. It's one of the few I'm following right now. The writer said he was inspired by Naruto and I can kind of see it in the show, but I don't dislike it. It's typical shonen but I do love the characters also. My favorite is probably Bakugo and his raging expression.
  3. Love the colors! The hair and clothing looks super silky
  4. Red Sister by Mark Lawrence. Enjoying it so far. I also have Prince of Thorns but yet to start that. I suspect I'm reading in the wrong order but read somewhere that the trilogies aren't related so... yay for winging through life.
  5. I think mine would be eyes, odd as that sounds. Whenever I start doodling, I automatically draw eyes. I never draw patterns, stick men or objects etc and get bored once I'm done with the eyes and just end up with a really creepy page just it's been possessed by Wrath lol.
  6. I also used the word 'esprit' for familiars in my WIP! I guess it is a common word to come up with. Anyway, my first feedback on this site hope it's OK. I liked the writing, it was colorful and vivid. I enjoyed the relationship between brother and sister and I love friendly big guy characters like Cornias. Reading how the dreams work was also interesting. Improvement wise... Dreams are probably difficult to make concrete, perhaps grounding the readers with more detail in one aspect, such as the main character or the setting might help some? I think you also have a fair bit of repetitive exposition, for example, the explanations about the dreams during the fight, and also drawing the readers attention to Sophie's grace and zeal on at least two or more occasions. I found the tension on and off. Cutting some exposition and better phrasing some character actions or descriptions such as yawning and childish dreams etc might help with that. My skimmed page three, as I felt there wasn't much going on other than a blow by blow account, and on page 7 I was confused about the silver bar until Sophie's thought popped up. I wasn't quite sure what kind of bar? What it looked like? How he climbed through it? That sentence did seem almost like head hopping. She can't know what he is thinking, and you've made it seem like she's guessing, but it's a pretty exact assumption and is also mirrors the POV thought right before it. You can probably cut that. I hope this was useful. All in all, I liked this piece and would read more. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of audience/age group you are writing for? I wasn't quite sure if it was Children's or YA or Adult Fantasy
  7. The idea about Dumbledore leaving Harry with the Dursley is true, but I think Dumbledore was taking a chance either way and it's not like he didn't keep an eye out. Harry would be without the protection of Lily's sacrifice if he didn't live with them, leaving him vulnerable if Voldemort did return. I thought Tina was cute too. I didn't like Newt's character, but only because he reminded me of someone I know and not on particularly good terms with. Great acting from Eddie Redmayne to make me cringe from his awkwardness (and I am pretty awkward myself). The reddit link about his behavior as a zoologist was interesting! All the main characters were well fleshed out, I thought, though I didn't buy the Tina and Newt romance at all either and was surprised at the departing scene. I do wish the MACUSA was a better explored as well. I feel like there's a dystopian thing going on where every person working in a fictional government is either bland or evil, in this case the former. I wish they'd introduce and show some leaders who actually aimed to do good, or tried to be a moral and decent like Dalinar. I really didn't like the casting for Grindalwald, hoping I get proved wrong there. I'm a Potter fan, so I loved the movie for the nostalgia. In summary, the best thing was the Niffler.
  8. I was distracted by how much the movie reminded me of Inception with all the moving buildings, but it would look great for Cosmere. I hope they make the Stormfather scenes a bit better than Dr. Strange's CG final boss battle
  9. Same here! I'm usually so excited I superspeedread the books too so I miss loads of stuff and get so confused about things in discussions ^^;
  10. Thank you! But I do love cookies I'm not bad at making them, either, just saying... Butcher's on my TBR list. The number of books to catch up on is fairly intimidating D: I'm glad started Brandons on first Mistborn trilogy before the massive Stormlight Archive.
  11. Hi hi In all the years of using the internet, this is the second forum I've joined, the first being an SA forum I started using 2 months ago which has introduced me to the world of forums and more procrastination woo~ I'd like to meet some fellow Sanderson fans, join in with theories, writing, learn how to disguise as an inconspicuous human being and find out some Brandon-news-things that he dishes out like gummy bears. I've think I've read all of Brandon's main series, aside from the Wheel of Time and Alcatraz. My favourite series is Mistborn, though I love Stormlight and Legion too. I'm most looking forward to the next Stormlight and second Rithmatist. If anyone knows where I can buy/donate to get an ebook copy of the Altered Perceptions Anthology please let me know! Aside from Brandon, I like Patrick Rothfuss, Jonathan Stroud, Rowling, and Pullman. Underrated authors I think need more recognition are Blake Charlton and Frances Hardinge. Not a gamer, but an anime and manga fan!
