This makes me laugh so much. I love this community. 

Oh, the lord ruler. Lol not Taln then. 

First, I like this. 
But where's my boi Taln? He can't just be useless sitting around. And Renarin is entirely absent, I've figured book 4 will involve Shallan looking more into this whole thing about Glys and whatnot. That, or Jasnah figuring more about that. I just feel like Renarin has some stuff to do despite not being the main focus yet, after the revelations of Oathbringer. 

I hope all listeners enjoy the new WTCC jingle, it was a labor of love. 

If you dont like it, blame chaos for the memes. 

be still my beating heart, it's time to THEORIZE ABOUT ALL THE NUTS STUFF WE CAN DO WITH THIS

“Oh yeah I’ll finish Skyward by the end of the year,” he says. All three books, he says. But because it’s Brandon Sanderson it turns into a fourth book facepalm Oh Brandon you’re a blessing and a curse. 

aghhhhhh my poor, poor wallet. It cries out in pain. 

Matt is dead to me. 

My theory of how the highstorms have altered Roshar scream against the idea that Honor's perpendicularity is outside of the highstorm. We've never heard of spheres being filled in any other way. I had assumed the cognitive realm had the weirdness of the perp because it's the cognitive, and it doesn't actually totally hit the exact same location in both realms. 

Ian was too quick to say he doesn't pay Grace. 

Also, yeah, Odium, not Passion. Passion only makes me think of passionfruit, which is disgusting.

Some thoughts. 
Every time Taln gets mentioned, my heart flutters a bit 
I think of the Shards more as part of Adonalsiums mind, as part of the aspects of what God is, in Cosmere terms. 
I also think of how people are molded to the intent more like the shard is a massive spirit-web with a very specific shape. You get on the shard, and while originally you don't fit perfectly, over time the shard will turn you into that shape. There is no way your spirit web could change such a massive one, and there is no resisting being forced into the shape demanded by the Shard's web. 

I just appreciate the little porg there. 

Noooo i was trying to SAVE MONEY

Quick thing- Taln is mine. 

...what the HECK was that at the end?!!!

What is fain life? I keep on hearing about it everywhere, but googling it just results in 17th Shard threads.

If you find the chapters of Liar of Partinel somewhere in the site, it explains it pretty well. The only canon mention we have of it is in Arcanum Unbounded, in the Scadrial essay. 

Ok, two thoughts. 

First, i still think Adonalsium formed because investiture seeks sapience, especially if the Cosmere started with a big bang of some sort. It just makes more sense given that situation. 

Second, it is my theory that Felt is the hemalurgist that a few WoBs have referred to. A hemalurgist who goes around the Cosmere collecting stuff, who's not Hoid because he won't use Hemalurgy. 

This shardcast was fun for me. I had all sorts of comments- which thankfully Chaos would bring up a minute or two after they were thought of. And it's so nice to be right about Autonomy doing it to expand her power base. It makes so much sense theoretically and story wise. 

Unless said Steel Compounder became an edgedancer 

You know what I'm looking forward to? Moash dying violently. VERY VIOLENTLY. 

A couple notes: what the heck was that pronunciation of Elend?????? 

Also, we have seen a confirmed full Radiant- Nale. 

I really want more discussion on what I'm terming the "Turn". When loyalties reversed. I am particularly curious as to why the Aimians sided with the humans. I was kind of disappointed when you stopped discussing that. 

Anyway, great discussion! You cleared up my current head canon quite a bit. I would also LOVE to have some more discussion on the Spiritual Realm. Even if Chaos hates discussing that. 

Oh, and I was surprised no one speculated that the Dawnshards are super-diseases. This is Ashyn after all. Ebola that gives you ultimate control of Soulcasting? That's pretty OP. 

I have a question. If you spiked Jebus, who did you kill to do so? 

Again, I am not above bribery to get this.

I gotta admit, my eyes glaze over with any Spiritual Realm stuff. It's the cheat realm where Brandon does whatever he wants in it to make the magic work. What specifically are you referring to here?

I'm gonna try and explain stuff. I've been working on something for a while... I'll post it eventually.
