Necessary Eagle

Might as well update this one while the thread's back up: OB pretty much confirms that Felt is a worshipper.

"Hey! Listen!" (Okay I know that joke has already been made, but I can't resist).

Fic writers, you have a mission! A great mission, according to my phone and who am I to argue with the wisdom of Autocomplete?

"Ashyn was on fire and it wasn't my fault." (We all know Harry would be Dustbringer, right?) But back to the actual topic of this thread, my sword would be named Normbreaker. Because the Alethi still aren't too comfortable with arming women.

OhMyHonorWhatDoIDoWithThisThing. "Wyndle" , for short.

I think the shattering window was someone else's analogy, maybe a shard's? I thought Renarin saw the future as a stained-glass window. I'll have to check the books when I get home.

I don't think so, because Renarin's epiphany at the end was that the future could be changed. If he had a vision before the team left for Kholinar, he wouLd have assumed that things would play out exactly how he saw them, no matter what he did or didn't do.

Vivenna (at the end of WB): a jumbo box of Crayola crayons.

Hoid: a pair of Groucho glasses and a troll doll.

Perfection.

So it's not just me, then.

Chemosh is mentioned, too, in... *pulls out her copy of Bamidbar* Numbers 21:29. Well, it says 'Kemosh', but I think it's the same thing. IIRC Chemosh comes up in the Prophets, too, but I have to go now. Maybe I'll look it up later.

Instant noodle vendors. Sak's Premonitions of Doom Haunted House. Whack-A-Squirrel! Get a perfect score and win a Lifeless rodent of your own! Small Soonie dolls available as a consolation prize. Lightweaver fun house. A boat ride that plays "It's A Small Cosmere After All" .

So then? "REPLY HAZY, ASK AGAIN LATER," says the black sphere.

Last week I was shaming my Blackberry's autocorrect for mangling the names of most of the Radiant Orders. Well it now appears the phone has gained sentience, possibly via the Command Read Sanderson, and is trying to show off its new Cosmere learnings. I swear to Adonalsium, there is no contextual reason that would make this make sense. It just decided, on its own, that a conversation with a rabbi about meal arrangements could use some Cosmere talk.

The whole thread is a thing of beauty, but especially this.

Interesting, i'd thought it was Cultivation's doing somehow. So if the ancient Truthwatchers had some sort of future-sight (who knows?), that would have let them sneak-attack Odium's forces.

What if Jasnah had prosthetic arms? Hilarious, brilliant crack. https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/45737038?show_comments=true&view_full_work=false#comment_232863640

I assume you mean "couldn't" there, right? Anyway, I don't understand why there's "no reason". "He actively destroyed her body" or for that matter "he passively destroyed her body, because it's just too much Investiture for a mortal to safely handle" fits the evidence just as well. It doesn't need to be true, it just needs to be what people think happened or is happening. And Amaram was himself and relatively sane, or at least claimed to be, but Aesudan was full-on deranged. Imagine someone trying to describe what happened to Aesudan, and imagine the story in its third- or fourth-hand iteration. And Hessi is writing this down centuries after anyone's seen Yelig-nar, when many people don't necessarily believe the Unmade existed.

I don't think Hessi was conversant with Realmatic Theory. I wouldn't assume that "devours souls" means "destroys a person's Spiritual Aspect". Given what we've seen of Y-n so far, it seems quite plausible that Mythica is talking about how he takes over a host and there's less and less of the original person left. And even if he's literally talking about souls as the Cosmere understands them, that doesn't mean he's right. It just means that the Rosharans (or Hessi's scholarly reconstructions thereof) thought he ate souls. We've seen how literal and precise their collective memory is. In short, I don't see any reason to think Hessi is any more of a reliable narrator than the other in-world scholars and authors we've seen. I personally have strong doubts that Spiritual Aspects can be destroyed like that.

They have been forgotten even by the Edgedancers. They have gone unseen by the Truthwatchers. But now they have come out of the shadows to take their rightful place. Edgewaters. Stringers. Towards. Lightsabers. Elsecallefs. Wallpapers. They are the Knights Autocorrect. also, really? Elsecallef? Go home, autocorrect, you drunk

A-gold or F-gold?

Yeah, I'll bet you an emerald broam that there's more to it than we've been told.

Knight Radiants online! EDIT: now with Windrunners! Bondsmith: after starting a horrific Tumblr flame war, he comes to deeply regret his past online persona and blogs his resolve to unite instead of divide. To which the trolls say, "Challenge accepted." Elsecaller: "Citation needed." Windrunner: is a global moderator for the Urithiru.com forums. Lightweaver: joins Urithiru.com with twelve of her suspiciously similar friends, gets banned for sock puppeting. Dustbringer: joins Urithiru.com, gets banned for incessant flaming. Edgedancer: joins Urithiru.com, gets a warning for necro'ing threads that have been forgotten. Skybreaker: swears an Ideal of Crusade to cleanse the internet of bad grammar, misspellings, and incorrect use of the word 'literally'. Has not been seen since. Stoneward: wins all his online arguments by refusing to back down or change his mind on anything, until his opponents just give up out of frustration. Willshaper: passionately involved in the Homestuck fandom, and has written a 30,000-word AU on fanfic.net, which fortunately does not seem to have been found by the Skybreaker yet. Truthwatcher: plays games on Steam all day. Knows the RNG. Is one with the RNG. Is rumored to have compromising photos of the RNG, because no one is that lucky.

The Knight Radiants volunteer at an animal shelter: The Windrunner plays with all the dogs, even the ones that growl or pee on him, so long as they have had their shots. The Skybreaker hovers over the shoulders of potential adopters, making sure they fill out everything on their forms correctly. The Dustbringer reaches through the bars to pet a pretty calico and gets badly scratched. She pulls back her hand, swears for a bit, then gets a glint in her eye and says, "Playing hard to get, are you?" She spends the next several hours trying to befriend the cranky kitty, and leaves the shelter bloodied but triumphant. The Edgedancer remembers an elderly black tom that has been forgotten, and starts a Facebook campaign to find him his forever home. The Truthwatcher uses his visions to match which pets would do best with which people. The Lightweaver picks up the laser pointer, looks at it, grins, puts it down, and says, "I can do better." An hour later, as they're trying to guide a confused kitten out of the airducts, she shrugs apologetically and says, "Okay, maybe I overdid it a little." The Elsecaller sighs and soulcasts a hole big enough to reach in and grab the kitten. The Stoneward is rammed in the crotch at about forty miles an hour by an overly-friendly Great Dane, but he still stands where others would have fallen. The Bondsmith reunites a lost labradoodle with its grateful owners. The Willshaper is seen leaving the premises with suspicious kitten-sized bulges in her pockets.
