[OB]Taln appreciation thread and speculation
Steeldancer replied to Steeldancer's topic in Stormlight Archive
Well, Nale was in the area when the perp occured, so was Ash, and they didn't seem particularly changed in terms of their go to thing. Talns seems more extreme, where yes he knows who he is, but he is not in touch with his identity, his memories, who he IS, not just his name. The best thing would be to bond yourself, but I don't think that's possible. So yes, the spren would bring Taln closer to an ideal, but that ideal is also part of your spirit web. You become closer in tune with who you are, we see that with Shallan and Kaladin and Dalinar. So I think that should work for Taln as well. And if Taln dies, heads are going to roll. -

[OB]Taln appreciation thread and speculation
Steeldancer replied to Steeldancer's topic in Stormlight Archive
Naln's insanity is very different than than Taln's. Naln still knows who he is, and is cogniscent. I think he's a different kind of broken than Taln. Taln is more like Jezrien was, although Jezrien had no hope of bonding a spren, because he no longer lived those ideals. Taln always has, and presumably always will. -
[OB]Taln appreciation thread and speculation
Steeldancer replied to Steeldancer's topic in Stormlight Archive
Idk, that ouburst of amazingness at the perpendicularity probably has the Stoneward spren already fighting over him . Not to mention he has always epitomized these ideals, it is probably just a matter of time before the spren catch up with him. -
So, I probably should have made this thread ages ago. But Taln is my new favorite SA character, and if you disagree, you're wrong. I think he's the best guy in the entire cosmere. He is true Honor. The man who was not supposed to be a herald, but never broke for over 4,500 years, plus whatever before that?????? He's the best. The absolute best. Unfortunately, he's also lost his mind. Which is sad. What I find absolutely fascinating is that he becomes lucid when the perpendicularity forms. For some reason, the realms being closer together makes him less insane, and therefore I'm going to speculate on how he might get fixed and become the wonderful bad-chull Herald that we don't deserve. I basically think that somehow, somebody is going to tie his Spiritual Identity to his physical self more strongly. Evidently, them all being closer together allowed for lucidity to occur. And how do I think this will occur? I think he's going to attract a spren. The problem is, we don't know of any other mechanics that allow you to tie yourself to the cognitive and spiritual realms like a spren bond. A spren bond literally makes you more like a spren, bringing you closer to your identity and the cognitive realm (which is why Kaladin can see spren better). So, I think beforehand, Taln was never around long enough for a spren to bond him. But a spren bond now, I THINK, might be exactly what he need to bring his mind back together. The stonewards are described as being just like Taln, so Taln is also just like them. Therefore, if Taln attracts a spren, I called it, Taln is my man, forever and ever.

Probably not as much as I should. I am going to be in Pageant this year, though! -
I will note I had this theory a while back, but I now find it unlikely. It is the fused that torture the heralds into breaking their oaths, nothing more. Furthermore, the unmade are just... weird. If they were related to the heralds, I would expect some analogs of surges. But the unmade just... well they're odd. I don't think it's likely.

(OB) Most Disliked Stormlight Character
Steeldancer replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Stormlight Archive
Moash. You had everything you freaking traitor. And then you kill a herald? If you come anywhere NEAR MY MAN TALN, I WILL BEAT YOU SO FAR INTO THE COGNITIVE REALM THAT YOU DISASSOCIATE INTO YOUR COMPONENT INVESTITURE. Also, if anyone hates how Dalinar grew.... that was probably the most moving part of the book for me, because I know how that feels, (not exactly but I can relate). Anyone who overcomes their guilt can relate to this. And it darn well made OB for me. Besides Taln of course. -
I think he also did the drums for Assassin in White.

Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Steeldancer replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
That only works when my mom shuts down my entire phone, through Verizon, because everything else is based on external internet clocks. I've tried everything, it took a bunch of trial and error, but I have a system. So I get by. Another issue I have is my dad doesn't let me use my laptop in my room. I think he does it because he thinks I'll be unproductive and maybe look at bad things, and yes I'll be unproductive, but honestly, what am I going to get up to on my laptop that I can't do on my phone? Not only that, but my laptop is way better for my homework, and I like working on my bed. And my mom doesn't care. It's just dad. In other words, I can't wait to get out of my house in 6 months or so. I don't plan on going full on extreme partying, but it'll be nice not to worry about limits anymore. -

No, but they excuse it because they're doing work stuff. That's one of the arguments I use, and they always just say "We're the parents. Just obey us." And there's not really anything I can do but use my VPN to get around the restrictions. -

It's not a religious thing, although we are religious. They feel we will waste all our time on electronics, which isn't wrong. They're big fans of the "two hours a day" thing. -
You know what I'm looking forward to? Moash dying violently. VERY VIOLENTLY.

Yeah, I'm not blaming you, it is mostly in hindsight. And Devotary did play very well, props to you.

Oh storms it's an adorable kitten. How can I resist?

Ok, a couple things- darn it alv, when I said I thought I would be lynched after what I pulled in LG41, I didn't mean being shot 12 hours later!!!! Anyway, the mechanics for this game were really cool, but I felt like the elim team was at a severe disadvantage this entire game. We were up against a large village with a scanner and a bodyguard and a person who distributed kill roles. With three people with no roles. I don't think it was impossible, but I feel like the call to have the action of putting in the kill reflect on the entire elim team was a mistake. At that point, there was basically no way for us to win, other than my strategy of extremely aggressive bussing. Which also didn't work. I don't think this game was broken, but I do think it could have been balanced better with an elim role or another elim. Other than that, this was a great game, and I'm sorry I didn't give it the attention it deserved.
