So just when you find them in physical shops, I assume? 

We have a Rowlett and a small Wobbuffet from the official online shop, but yeah, mostly. Unfortunately, the Charmander we found recently was... not great, so our quest for the first gen starters remains unfinished.

We stuck googly eyes on the Ditto, it looks hilarious 

Hey look, it's my annual "log onto the Shard and see how many notifications I have"

Do you guys just buy Pokemon plushes as you find them, or seek out ones you want? 

Both? Bit of both. Building up a collection of Pokemon plushies, but we (husband and I) only buy the ones that we like. Would be neat to get all 3 first gen starters but we've only found Bulbasaur so far.

Kaladin hadn’t seen Lift sneak into the room—but then again, she often showed up where one did not expect her.

I recall speculation on an earlier chapter about the Mink being a (proto-)Edgedancer - this bit to me parallels quite nicely with his ability to sneak out of places unnoticed.

Could this be a sort of Easter Egg verification of something more/special with Kaladin? Others have said this, but I think when people say the winds know him, and also calling him Stormblessed, something more is going on.

I think it's likely there's something to this. The other bit that backs this up the best for me is when he stops the wind early in Oathbringer: 

Quote

A hundred windspren spun in as lines of light, twisting around his arm, wrapping it like ribbons. They surged with Light, then exploded outward in a blinding sheet, sweeping to Kaladin’s sides and parting the winds around him.

Kaladin stood with his hand toward the tempest, and deflected it. Like a stone in a swift-moving river stopped the waters, he opened a pocket in the storm, creating a calm wake behind him.

Maybe this is just a creative use of early Shardplate, but he's not even close to swearing the 4th Ideal here.

What's wrong with my precious cinnamon roll Kaladin?!??!?! Depression we know, but nightmares? DON'T YOU HURT HIM.

There may be something going on there, but most likely it's just a side effect/symptom of the depression and PTSD

I'm calling it now: MAY ALADAR!!

Three years after her much talked about debut in the Cosmere, she will finally gain relevance. 

This is exactly where my brain went too... 

I've been laid off for the second time since Covid hit; I have 3 weeks to find another job so we have enough money to finance our mortgage. I want to study some more to get on a career track I'm interested in, but we can't currently afford that, so I'm just trying to find a job that's tolerable for now. I'm still pretty young, I've got plenty of time to figure stuff out, but I'm just... confused, stressed, at a bit of a loose end, trying to find some sort of purpose. It sure has been a wild year, hasn't it?

Anyway.

*hugs* for anyone who wants them (and an open inbox if anyone wants to talk), and cat pictures!

Do you know what your wedding dress looks like yet? 

Only 4 months late, but yes, I know what my wedding dress looks like. And I no longer have it, I hired it, and then returned it afterwards.

Congrats Cae!

Thank you!!

I took it twice, and got the same top 5 but in a different order  - Edgedancer and Truthwatcher, followed by Windrunner and Bondsmith, followed by Lightweaver. I'm I*FJ.

Well, I surprised myself by getting Truthwatcher, but apparently according to the info that's because they have traits that I think a lot of us were assuming were more of an Elsecaller schtick. 

This is right on the money, I think, and why I was also surprised by getting a high result for Truthwatcher. I was surprised by Edgedancer as well, to be fair, but both make a lot of sense on reading the blurbs. I'm claiming Edgedancer for now

She is getting a novella(like Lift did).

Heck yeah! I remember hearing that now

In other news, I expect another Herald to be dead by the end of the next book.

Any thoughts on which one? Taln and Ash are supposedly getting books in the back half so they're unlikely. Nale, maybe?

A couple of things I'd like to see in Book 4:
 - Azure/Vivenna finding Vasher
 - More information on Ishar
 - Lift/Nightblood interaction
 - Rysn update

I'm doing a 10 week internship in a chemistry lab. We didn't have the chemicals I needed for the project I was assigned when I started and had to order them from overseas, so I did 6 weeks of odd jobs around the lab. I've done 2 weeks of the project I was assigned now, and have very little to show for it. I think I've made 2 of the things we were hoping to make, but have yet to run a successful measurement on either of them because they're not soluble in anything and some of our machines are playing up. Yesterday morning I started a reaction that looked like it would be easy, and should have taken 4 or 5 hours. It's now 3.30pm on day 2, and I haven't managed to isolate the solid that should have precipitated out yesterday morning. I have to give a presentation next Friday and I haven't got any results to talk about yet, 8 weeks in to my project.

Rant over, I'm just very frustrated right now.

Nice! What degree!

Chemistry!

Also @Sunbird I love your photos!!

I graduated university today!

I found this guy on YouTube while looking for music to study to, his piano arrangements are pretty neat

(The actual, recognisable song starts a couple minutes in, before that he's just playing around with chords)

I haven't got any advice that hasn't already been said, but *hugs* for everyone.

Yeah, happy birthday @Caesura! Best wishes!

Thank you! 

I'm pretty good. Started a summer internship in a lab, but there's not a lot to do at the moment so it's lots of sitting around reading research papers.

I am on day 7 of 8 of work in a row. currently at 86 hours. 

Oof. What do you do for a job? (If you don't mind me asking)

I'm in my last 2 weeks before uni exams, so I worked on a group assignment and wrote out a lot of notes.

I'm at DIDGERIDOO as well, I just got a little buried under all the posts while I was busy irl.

$: If you could learn a fictional language what would it be?

54: If you had to be in the middle of a natural disaster, which would you choose? 

$#2: What's your opinion of plain cheese pizza?

H: Where do you keep all your most valuable possessions?

!3$: If you could only eat one food you HATE for the rest of your life, what would you pick?

PJ: Do you have a favorite pen?

$223: What is the third word in the nearest book?

74: If you look to your left, what do you see?

63g: What color is your shirt right now?

4#3: If you could have a waterslide inside your house, would you want it?

￥: What brand is the device you are currently using?

⇎: Why do you think creatures such as Fawns, Centaurs, Mermaids, etc, are always half human?

⌨: Do you think there should be other kinds of combinations? Such as a Centaur, but the top half is orc?

45532: Hi?

$: Gallifreyan from Doctor Who, or one of the Elvish languages from Lord of the Rings, purely because I like how the writing looks.

54: Having seen the aftermath of several bad earthquakes and a couple cyclones, they're all pretty bad. The cyclones did a lot less damage though.

$#2: I'm dairy-free. Plain cheese pizza isn't worth the effort, it's gotta be at least pepperoni.

H: See, now, that would be telling.

!3$: Cabbage. If you cook it right, it's not so bad.

PJ: Several. Buying unneeded stationery is a weakness of mine.

$223: Nearest book is my lab notebook (I'm writing a report). Third word is acetoacetate.

74: A window, a picnic table, several trees.

Do you plan on killing Willow off?

I wasn't planning on it, no. Why's that?

Eek, sorry, been a very busy couple days.

A woman walked up to the counter, and appeared to say something, although Ava didn't quite catch it over the ruckus. "I'll be right with you ma'am, I'm just going to serve this man over here." She made her way over to the Azish man, who was signalling for a waiter, stepping over the broken glass of the drink cabinet. "What can I do for you, sir?"

The black sphere is May Aladar?

Flight of the Conchords is classic. Also anything by Taika Waititi. Yes, Lord of the Rings was largely filmed here. The Hobbiton set is a big tourist attraction now. Ofelia is a pretty name!
