Necessary Eagle

Phooey.

I have this whole detailed fantasy about being able to take my cats on the plane without it being A Whole Production involving pills, tears, and puncture wounds. I just need to know: would I be able to Soothe them? (Assuming that I had the proper Allomantic abilities).

If you ever revise the reputation level titles again, pretty please could the starting rank be "Doug"?

Wait, what? Is this a WoB somewhere? Edit: found the WoB on Arcanum. Fascinating. And uncomfortable to think about for very long.

The book was... all right, I guess? Like, I didn't hate it or anything, but I didn't particularly care enough about it after it ended to want to re-read it. The guidebook excerpts were funny, though.

IIRC in the WoR chapter Nale says that he used some sort of advanced fabrial. Of course, that doesn't rule out using Weird Herald Powers with the fabrial. Edit: ninja'd, by which I mean the other replies saying the same thing didn't show up for me until now for some reason.

let me find the most relevant quotes, first of all. So yes, that's the general impression I get.

Well there was a "Dug" in the Lost Metal Prologue...

Because the narration says the kandra have gotten weirder over "the decades" since they went their own ways.

The most interesting Cosmere connections: 1. Apparently Saze set all the kandra free? And the implication was that this was within a century of whenever the story takes place. 2. Is Xisis Foil? 3. If Midnight Essence comes from (or is associated with) Aethers, what does that imply about Re-Shephir's nature?

I love it!

I've been checking the Arcanum almost every day, looking for that reading, and it's finally up.

I had an epiphany about this the other day. Wax + Steris = Cosmere Batman. Because if there's one character known for being always prepared...

It was an unkeyed metalmind.

Problem: Sazed is losing control of his Shard because he's out of balance from trying to be more Preservation-y than Ruin-y. Fact: Ruin's signature trick was altering the written word. Solution: Make words appear. Lots of words. Lots and lots of words. Every time someone throws out a scrap of paper, Harmony can write "Saze wuz here" up and down both sides. Every time someone scribbles something rude on a restroom stall, Harmony can change it to a Pathian proverb. Alleyway graffiti can migrate from wall to wall, correcting its spelling and grammar in the process. Sazed can continue the Words of Founding-- The Further Thoughts of God on Everything, Volume LXIII-- in any discarded book. He can write the Great Scadrialian Novel. He can write the Terrible Scadrialian Novel, if that appeases his inner Ruin more. He can write fanfic for A Hero for All Ages. He can (again, if he needs to use up some extra Ruin) write disturbing, badly-spelled TenSoon-centric smutfic for A Hero for All Ages. I cannot see any flaws in this logic and I expect Harmony to start on his writing career immediately. You're welcome, Sazed.

This is a very very small thing, but I find it hilarious that Harmony sometimes lets Marsh play psychopomp for real.

Trillium, you say? I think you may be on to something.

Would Discord produce the same godmetal as Harmony, or would the different Intent/Identity create a metal with different properties?

It would be funny if Brandon throws us a curveball and Trell turns out to be, like, Endowment or something.

curses! wasn't able to check the page until Tuesday night because of the Jewish holidays, I was wondering what was going on

Oh, good point!

One of the possibilities on my suspects list for a while now has been "Autonomy and Odium working together". Though [Stormlight]

Wait, where does it say that? Am I missing part of the image?
