The Allomantic Metalhead

As in, how would their powers interact? How could they combine? Could they be combined reasonably? What would this do to one's psyche? What would life be like with these powers?

"Acquire apathy"

...I don't know, I just want to see what'd happen...

Here are some options that I can think of: Kali or Venladin. I vote Venladin.

I vote Venladin too.

I think I have a minor case of Stockholm Syndrome or something, 'cos I'm actually beginning to ship them...

Well, lets look at the obstacles for that ship:

1. Diffrent races (small problem).

2. Haven't met (yet, and Venli is to become one of the main characters since the next book so also small problem).

3. Venli caused apocalypse (but she is good now, so... mabye a problem? Certainly interesting dynamic).

If any of you see anything more please tell me. As of right now I see very nice Pros and little to no Cons.

So... now that this is a serious ship (it was originally intended as a joke), what should we call it?

He already is the Parshendi advocate in Urithuru, his Windruners are the only known group within forces of Honor that activelly support idea of human-parshendi collaboration, he is the only known person to allow parshmen/parshendi use weapon, and has a parshendi amongst his elite group (bridge 4). He is also probably known amongst the forces of odium because of his actions in the frst part of Oathbringer.

Venli is supposed to become leader of Parshendi rebellion forces. She is bound to work closelly with Kalladin as he is "that one guy we can trust for sure", and has the single most mobile unit on Roshar period. And that close work can transform into something else.

Moreover he is probably seen by most people as the most "radiant" Radiant, and Venli is going to be the very face of rebellion. That is THE SINGLE BEST marriage for PR of humans/listeners cooperation.

They both have survivors guilt (Venli has it for a reason, but Kalladin seems to more affected), and seem to cope with it kind of similarly (unlike it is with Shallan who has completelly diffrent approach), and probably would find a lot of understanding towards eachother.

Also unlike with Shallan while Kalladin hates lighteyes he has a lot of respect towards orginal Parshendi, and Venli despite despising most of humans she has ingrain respect towards Radiants (and as I've said Kalladin is the most "radiant" Radiant).

I've hyped myself so much that now I belive it.

I will be laughing with satisfaction like crazy when it will be confirmed.

Did... did you just make Venli x Kaladin actually sound like a semi-rational ship?

I have no words...

I feel like calling things cancer all the time is objectively worse than shipping 

ISP calls himself cancer all the time, but, yeah, I guess you're right

My crackship for Venli is Renarin.

I normally don't do shipping of any kind, but I've been watching some cancerous YouTube channels like iSorrowproductions (his productions have nothing to do with shipping, instead, he just plays map games with people with funny mustaches trying to kill each other in them), and I'm pretty sure the cancer is contagious.

I don't know how I ended up deciding to express it with a crack ship, though...

Okay, so I admit that the only reason I posted this was to get attention and let everyone know I'm semi-officially off hiatus. I feel like the title says it all, so I'm not going to go into details about motivations and stuff.

Well, maybe my motivations for posting this cancer. I did it because every other even remotely plausible ship (and many even less plausible ones) seemed to be taken, and nobody else seemed to be posting about this. Also, Kaladin seemed a bit lonely on his island of being an extremely screwed up grumpy woobie, so I figured I might as well give him company in that.

Please don't like this trash. The attention it generates is enough. You can discuss it if you want in the comment section below, though. That's what the comment section is for.

I storming loved Sixth of the Dusk! Sanderson never fails to write entertaining and unconventional stories!

I wish to no longer be called BitKip.

Granted. Now nobody ever calls you anything other than "that guy", "you", or other equally vague terms. Even you slowly start to forget your name. By the time you die, the only thing on your grave is "That Guy. We don't know their actual name anymore. Or their usernames or anything. ??? - ???"

I wish people who should know better, pretentious know-it-alls who actually don't know anything, and just plain historically ignorant people would just stop associating the German Empire with the Nazi party.

Yes, I did have an argument with a guy who thought that. He didn't know what the Schlieffen Plan was, and thought that the German Empire had been around since the 1700s "at least", but the Dunning-Kruger Effect was in full swing, and he just wouldn't shut up about it.

Sorry for ranting, it's just... geez... we can always dream, right?

If your character is not allowed Donald Trump style hair/toupee, why not instead ask if your character can be a mind-controlling alien that just so happens to look like Donald Trump's hairdo?

That would go down even worse...

I wish for a delicious pork roast. 

Granted, but Odium loves pork roast, so he moves out of Roshar and makes a desolation on Earth before you can eat your pork roast. You are cornered by Fused warriors, and told to give up the pork roast or die. What a choice, eh?

I wish I had the powers of all of the magical traditions in Desolation but would only get 1/10 of the burn.

I wish that it rained candy, and that the candy falls softly enough that no people or animals are injured by the candy rain.

Granted, but the only candies that come from the rain are those disgusting sugarfree gummy bears.

I wish that I was extremely hard to kill, regarded physical pain with mild apathy, and could heal from almost any wound (albeit with the healing rate of a normal human) without even a scar.

Again, I wish for an infinite garage.

Granted. You immediately get lost in it.

I wish someone would write a really good fanfic about a world that was like earth until people started developing allomantic and feruchemical abilities in the 1930s and became superheroes.

I wish for a Cupcake Spren.

Okay. You get your cupcake spren. Your curse is that it can become tangible at will and will eat all of your cupcakes. It also talks way too much and has an annoyingly cutesy voice.

I ask the Nightwatcher to grant the human race the technology to map and traverse alternate realities throughout the multiverse. And maybe find an alternate reality where everything is the same except that they spell "Nuclear" as "Nuklear". That last bit was just for fun.

A broken beer bottle. Made of the glass of Rashid.

The Vision Bleak - A Curse of the Grandest Kind, a truly epic and bitter song.

"When the moon is on the wave and the glow-worm in the grass,
and the meteor on the grave and the wisp on the morass.
When the falling stars are shooting and the answer'd owls are hooting,
and the silent leaves are still in the shadow of the hill.

Shall my soul be upon thine, with a power and with a sign.
Though thy slumber may be deep, yet thy spirit shall not sleep.
There are shades which will not vanish, there are thoughts thou canst not banish.
By a power to thee unknown, thou canst never be alone.

Thou art wrapt as with a shroud, thou art gather'd in a cloud,
and forever shalt thou dwell in the spirit of this spell.

Though thou seest me not pass by, thou shalt feel me with thine eye.
As a thing that, though unseen, must be near thee and hath been.
And when in that secret dread, thou hast turn'd around thy head.
Thou shalt marvel I am not, as thy shadow on the spot.

And the power which thou dost feel, shall be what thou must conceal,
And a magic voice and verse, hath baptized thee with a curse.
And a spirit of the air, hath begirt thee with a snare.
In the wind there is a voice, shall forbid thee to rejoice.

And to thee shall night deny, all the quiet of her sky,
and the day shall have a sun which shall make thee wish it done.

From thy false tears I did distil an essence which hath strength to kill.
From thy own heart I then did wring, the black blood in its blackest spring.
From thy own smile I snatch'd the snake, for there it coil'd as in a brake.
From thy own lip I drew the charm which gave all these their chiefest harm.

In proving every poison known, I found the strongest was thine own.
By thy cold breast and serpent smile, by thy unfathom'd gulfs of guile,
by that most seeming virtuous eye, by thy shut soul's hypocrisy.
By the perfection of thine art which pass'd for human thine own heart.

By thy delight in others' pain and by thy brotherhood of Cain.
I call upon thee and compel thyself to be thy proper Hell!

And on thy head I pour the vial which doth devote thee to this trial.
Nor to slumber, nor to die, shall be in thy destiny.
Though thy death shall still seem near, to thy wish, but as a fear.

Lo, the spell now works around thee and the clankless chain hath bound thee.
O'er thy heart and brain together, hath the word been pass'd, now wither!"

Such an epic song... it never fails to give me goosebumps. Of course, it's by The Vision Bleak, so that's to be expected...

I was referring to gold misting and malatium misting as both, not one or the other.

oh. ok

Wilkommen! (No, I'm not German, I just like the language).

Which Brandon Sanderson books have you read? Which ones are your favorites? Which magic system(s) is/are your favorite(s)?

I haven't read any, but I have audible and listened to all of his works that are on there (except for the foreign language translations).

My favorites are Mistborn (All of them), Stormlight Archive (of course), The Reckoners, and Elantris.

My favorite magic systems are Allomancy, Feruchemy, Forgery, and Awakening.

Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of the Mistborn Adventure Game?

If you were both, than you either 1: have hemalurgic spikes, or 2: you would be a fullborn. I don't know what soulstamping would do to someone hemalurgically charged, does anyone have a WoB that would explain this? and if they were a fullborn there would be a whole host of other possible applications.

You could be a twinborn. We were talking about allomantic gold and feruchemical aluminum.

The point was that ‘in world’ Vindication makes no sense if named for Vin unless the language has changed. Which is very possible. But if it has changed, Kell’s name is the one most likely to be mispronounced, which I think he would find irritating.

Scadrians don't actually speak English, so far as I'm concerned, I call it "fantasy book translation", where the characters' language is "translated" to English (or French, or German, or maybe even Finnish) by the author. For all we know, the word for "vindication" is pronounced in a way that the pun would make sense.
