  1. Fans around the world expressed shock as they realized that the badchull bounty hunter character they’d all come to love—and who they assumed was a dude—was actually a girl. The news was...
  2. And honestly who wants to deal with that paperwork?
  3. Johnny watched the men brawl in the center of the room. The form the fight took surprised him. Walking through Alleycity, he’d expected fights to be flashy, colorful melees with fire and sparks everywhere. But while the blowtorch supplied plenty of both, Johnny saw that “powers” here were a lot less flashy than he thought. The men fought with unseen forces and strengths, throwing around small devices to their advantage while throwing kicks and punches. There were no lasers or acrobatics. Everything was just more... real. Most importantly, Johnny realized he didn’t have to fight. The guy fighting the maniac seemed plenty capable. Looking around at the rest of the room, Johnny wondered why no one else tried to take down the maniac when he’d just killed someone. Maybe they’re scared like me. Or maybe... this is just Tuesday for them. Specks I hate this place. Johnny crept around the edge of the room to a booth and took a tenative seat next to a woman watching the fight. She was admittedly beautiful, which here probably just meant she was dangerous to be near. Nonetheless, Johnny didn’t want to be standing alone in any one part of the room. He tried to make himself look small, scruching into a ball on the seat and watching the fight with anxious eyes.
  4. Why are these posts so peculiarly popular? Asking for stereotyping reasons.
  5. ....Well alrighty then. Granted. *Kelsier’s God Complex dies, leaving Kelsier a more humble and all-round more likeable character* Um... I guess the bane is your spirit is now cherry-flavored? Yea that sounds good. Your spirit is cherry-flavored. Do with that what you will. I wish to be a full feruchemist (this has been wished before, but storms I want it so bad)
  6. Johnny shuffled into the tavern, exhausted from his day. Surely I can stay here a few more nights and have it pay against my tab—He stopped with a jolt. He’d nearly bumped into the back of a hard-looking woman in a mask who was addressing the bar. He sidestepped her, before tripping over a body and sprawling all over the floor. Wait— BODY?! Johnny scrambled to his feet and stared down in horror at the man. Blistering and boiling skin festered on a gash across his face. His eyes stared vacantly up, a sad, yet strangely unsurprised look on his face. Johnny heaved, but retained his dinner. He looked toward the bartender, and saw him confronting a grinning maniac with a blowtorch. Anger, horror, adrenaline and fear coursed through Johnny’s veins, thousands of thoughts mixed with ragged screams ripped at his mind. Johnny’s hands clenched into fists... yet he stood there, frozen. He’d been through a lot today, he had grown, he had learned, but he was no fighter. He had powers—all his worldly possessions and the Portal Gun still in his room testified to that—but he had no control. As much as he hated the loon standing in the center of the room, he didn’t dare take a step forward. For that, Johnny cursed himself as a coward. And yet, he hoped with every ounce of will he had that the maniac would turn around and see him.
  7. And Voidus had been flirting with WOBs for some time, making everything really complicated. Fun Fact, romcom writers everywhere take notes from this dynamic for their own shows.
  8. A love square actually, since Jasnah Cosplay was completely infatuated with pineapples.
  9. Argent and WOBs. Theirs was a purely intellectual relationship.
  10. When Diddy Kong wasn’t having visions of Sakurai telling him to “unite them”, or that “the ultimate smash is coming”, he would stay awake weeping over the sorry state of his sons and his failure as a father to them.
  11. Not Diddy Kong, Highprince of Shenanigans, and ruler of the Kong province. He was too busy experimenting with peanut weaponry for such trivial things like bananas.
  12. They’re lucky because they contain high amount of spethylyne, the Russian Roulette drug.
  13. The black-turtleneck wearing guy—whose name, predictably, was Davian—clutched his bleeding nose and ran to the nearest Starbucks so he could nurse his ego back to health with his Macbook and his jazz.
  14. The unstability of US-Russian relations and the looming presence of socialism over the world. ”It’s pretty deep stuff, you probably wouldn’t understand it,” said the black-turtleneck wearing guy with a cigarette and a beret.
  15. The excited “extremely confused” vibrated with glee. It had never felt excitement before. It was excited at this new feeling. This positive feedback loop caused so much excitement the magnitude seven earthquake caused by the bunker’s vibrating sunk it into the ground, taking Kelsier with it.
  16. Kelsier aggresively flexed on Star by making it rain hard, painful, sharp glowing gems on her head. Then he laughed snidely and slamed the bunker door on her. Narrator Tech clicked his tongue disapprovingky before opening up his luxury bunker complex to the public at the low, low price of 3 firemarks/month.
  17. Kelsier outbid Star with 20 emerald broams for that same bunker. Because the ghanderflaffle empire was rising.
  18. “I took them out of this world, and I can bring them back in.” Kelsier snapped his fingers, and the Shard of Humor revived Butterflutter the Eighth and brought him into the room. Eighth snarled aggressively in between his sneezes.
  19. Kelsier glared at the narrators that had so rudely taken up residence in his sitting room. Shallan laid comatose on his lap—he’d been trying to wake her for the last ten minutes now. ”Do I need to call in the mimes again? Or is the ghanderflaffle empire going to have to rise again?”
  20. Kelsier sighed in dissapointment as a squad of mimes came in and broke up the argument between the narrators. The narrators protested as they were shoved behind the fourth wall, but the mimes took no nonsense. Long story short, many rude gestures were exchanged. They placed the tile on the wall, brushed the quantum dust off their clothes, and tipped their invisible fedoras to Kelsier before slamming the door behind them. Shallan was shook.
  21. “Where’s Waldo on Steroids times infinity” If Brandon wrote I-Spy books, it would take teams of dozens of researchers clocking 100-hour weeks living solely on coffee months to find that one. Freaking. Thimble.
  22. When my car spread burning oil all over the city, at least it wasn’t for political reasons!
  23. Like the tags say, I haven’t taken this anywhere, but has anyone else noticed how most glyphpairs largely look like spaceship designs? Particularly the Radiant Order glyphpairs; they all look like some kind of fighter or strike craft. This could be a red herring, but honestly knowing Sandserson... could this hold a significance with exciting ramifications? Thoughts?
