  4. Explain a Plot Badly

    You all are killing me! Have a few non-Cosmere for juxtaposition.

    The Eye of the World

      Hide contents

    Sheep-headed youth discovers he's actually good at everything, then kills Satan.

    The Great Hunt

      Hide contents

    Sheep-head's friends get lost, several people that should kill him decide not to, and he kills Satan. Again.

    Also, one of his friends turns into Dances With Wolves, but with a battle-ax.

    The Dragon Reborn

      Hide contents

    Sheep-head not so important, check out my mad gambling skills! Also, Satan isn't dead, but pseudo-Satan is. I think.

    The Shadow Rising

      Hide contents

    Seriously, I thought the bad guys were supposed to at least try to kill Sheep-boy, and there's a really annoying angry ginger girl. Well, at least Wolf-boy gets a cool lady-friend. And no Satan in this one.

    The Fires of Heaven

      Hide contents

    The one time that exploding everything with a forbidden magic actually makes things right again.

    And they're finally really trying to kill Sheep-boy, while he gets cozy with the angry ginger, which was all we really cared about the last three books.

    The Lord of Chaos

      Hide contents

    The #$%@ you mean psuedo-Satan's not dead? And Sheep-boi is not the slightest bit suspicious about his new friend that he's given complete control over an unstable force of potentially explosive psychopaths...

    A Crown of Swords

      Hide contents

    Okay, is NOBODY dead, then? Also, it's hot, so we need a washbasin to splash our face in (hey, that rhymed!). And why why WHY is pseudo-Satan not trying to kill Sheep-head?

    The Path of Daggers

      Hide contents

    Shep-boi needs Xanax, and maybe a less stressful line of work? And maybe someone should talk to him about his friend training the exploding psychopaths.

    That's all I've got in me for now. Here's another completely unrelated summary.

    The Bartimaeus Trilogy

      Reveal hidden contents

    Wizard/lawyer/politicians don't make particularly good role models, especially when they brainwash the next generation to be just like them by enslaving helpless and generally kindhearted (*Bartimaeus doubles up laughing*) demon/elementals using funny words and sidewalk chalk. And if you let slip your name, Latin and Greek are the least of your worries.

    Thank you for doing Wheel of Time!  Been wanting to do those, but read them so long ago I can't remember what happens in each book exactly.  XD

    It's going to be 50 times more awesome now that's what.

    True true

    Can I do $75 for 25 years?  I think that's a good enough amount of time to not be spoilery, and a good enough amount of money for my wallet.

    Heh. How am I supposed to answer if I've already read Dragonsteel for free? B)

    Heehee same B)  But @Steeldancer's got a point too, it'll probably be completely different when Brandon eventually writes a publishable version.  I really wonder what's going to happen because so much of it has been recycled into SA.

    There's an annoying love story, a talking dog and the cult leader's protégé makes the apocalypse so much worse.

    All your favorite people die, including the talking dog, except that one guy who becomes God.

     

    The Hero of Ages one though.  So True.

  18. Favorite Non-Brandon Characters

    Nice to meet a fellow KH fan! I completely agree with you about Roxas > Ventus. I might even go so far as to say that I started to like Roxas a bit more than Sora! But my favourite friendship is Aqua/Terra/Ventus. Aqua is my favourite character of the franchise, but she and Terra had such awful english dub voice acting that it was hard seperating my strong dislike for it from the characters themselves.

    Other favourite video game/anime characters;

    FF7: Tifa Lockhart - Strong, dependable and beautiful, everything my little ten year old self aspired to be!

    Bioshock Infinite: Booker and Elizabeth - Both characters were fleshed out and interesting in their own right, but together they develop a strong if unusual bond which was a pleasure to witness.

    Last of us: Joel - I have an affinity to characters who endure struggles for those they hold dear. He was flawed too, as is evidenced by his debatably selfish actions at the end of the game. But those flaws make me love a character more.

    Full Metal Panic: Sagara Sosuke and Kaname Chidori - Love these characters simply because of the endless laughter their wacky interactions bring about. Is it the healthiest relationship ever? Probably not. Does it make for some excellent slapstick comedy? Why yes, yes it does.

    Yona of the dawn: Yona - Her character growth is one of the most notable in any recent media I have read/watched. From prissy, selfish princess to a weary, battle hardened warrior. Maybe not battles in the literal sense, but certainly every difficulty she has endured to get her throne back.

    I could honestly go on and on, but I'll leave it at that for now!

    Aye! Same! I played 358/2 first, so I totally like Roxas more than Sora. BbS is my favorite KH game, and Aqua's my favorite out of all them, and I TOTALLY AGREE about the lame voice acting.  Agh.  I guess maybe it's still better than 358 though where there's no voice acting and everyone just gestures without moving their mouths.  XD

    Funny story, I went to SLCC as Vin, but I bought Aqua's keyblade from a vendor while I was there, and it made me super happy when I got my Sanderson books signed and he asked if the keyblade was an intentional part of the costume XD

    When you are wearing a Stormlight shirt, reading Oathbringer preview chapters on your Windrunner glyph iPad.  (Someone legit called me a nerd to my face the other day for that lol, and she didn't even understand half the references.)

    When Oathbringer literally comes out on your friend's birthday, and you are secretly excited to literally put "release dates before birthdays."  (He's on a mission so it's not super relevant anyway, but it still makes me laugh.)
