Draginon

Vin and Elend would probably congratulate them on marrying the one they love. Cultivation would... cultivate their love! Nightblood would offer to bring death to whatever they deem evil Hoid would be random Khriss would ask them to demonstrate Stormlight and Shardblades so she could analyze them for her Arcanum Wayne would exchange all the presents for something he deems appropriate but isn't Susebron and Siri might offer them a chance of getting a taste of true color by giving a few breaths from the treasury Spook would give them something but they'd be confused by his street slang to know what exactly it is I could imagine Sarene offering Adolin a chance to fence and beat him at it

Allomancer Jak is another character I don't care for. It was fine reading his stories in the broadsheets but the story in AU showed how terrible a character he is to me. @Captains Domon I can see what you mean where Tia is concerned where it's like 'Tia stop acting like David can't handle Epic stuff' especially when she borrowed his notes and refused to give them bad to him after he asked for them. (for those listing antagonists I wouldn't count them since they're supposed to be disliked)

@Calderis It could be more a thing like England vs Ireland on naming where they're neighboring countries with similar naming conventions but still distinct. Aona and Skai just sound different enough to be from different origins but similar roots. We can make some guesses on naming conventions just from the ones we do know from the Vessels, Hoid and the closest we have to Hoid's real name to know there's definitely different nations and cultures on Yolen when it comes to humans

I'm fine with him delaying W&W4 if it means he can finish another series (Skyward would be his third after Reckoners and Legion unless one counts Mistborn Era 1) though I don't want another drought to happen after this

I could see him being the killer if the victims were enemies of Scadrial or agents of Trell but with the main character being an outsider to the Cosmere stuff would just see a madman killing 'innocent' people and really would think he was mad if he starts claiming he's the Survivor

You could also count the Elantrians as 'undead' because they technically die but don't move onto the Cognitive Realm. Then there's the fact that Preservation says they're dead but not, and I'd take that to mean undead. Would revived dead shardblades count as undead or just restored?

I wouldn't be surprised if Aona and Skai were siblings and to explain why their names don't sound like it's from the same region they could be step siblings or mixed heritage with the parents wanting names for each culture

Pretty much this is to talk about characters from Brandon's books you don't like or even just annoyed by but still like them regardless. Wheel of Time characters need not be mentioned here. My list of dislike characters are Kelsier (controversial I know but I just don't like the guy) & Spook (he's a little annoying to me to the point of 'why do people like him') My annoying, but not disliked, characters are Wayne (his craziness gets to be too much at times, especially his attitude towards Steris), Kaladin (you can guess which trait is the annoying part), David (mostly on part because of his romance plot in Firefight), Lopen (this is more a 'if I met him in real life I'd be annoyed by him' annoyance) and Melody (I really like her but she has a smidge of annoyance at the beginning)

Just finished the Scadrian section of AU Scadrian Report The Eleventh Metal Nice little story though I don't really care for Kelsier that much Allomancer Jak This guy is such a blowhard. I liked the annotations a lot more than the actual 'story' Secret History The rest should be faster now with Taldain, Threnody, First of the Sun and Roshar having only one entry though I'll do my next review after finishing the solo story worlds

Hope you've been replaying the rest as well since Birth By Sleep shows how it all starts, Chain of Memories shows how Sora gets to where he is in 2, 358/2 Days shows a character who will appear in 3, Coded, Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep 0.2 are prologues to 3 and X [chi] is apparently mandatory backstory because of the Keyblade War and other characters.

Traded in some old games at GameStop and the amount was almost enough to pay for Kingdom Hearts 3, just under $20 remained, and I figured I might as well finish paying so now I just have to wait for that January date to arrive before I can see the conclusion of my favorite video game series

It speeds up drastically like a roller coaster

Was a little too busy to get around on my Fencon trip report. It was a meh event this year. I only went to two panels this year, I usually find way more than that to attend, so that shows how poor it was. People instantly knew I was dressed up as Arthur Dent so that was nice. Did get a good book haul while there. The first was All Systems Red, part of the Murderbot books, and got a couple $2 in change (don't have them now since I ended up using them for something else I saw). The rest are Doctor Who classic books. The titles are Shadowmind, Blood Harvest, Blood Heat, Falls the Shadow, Sanctuary, The Murder Game, Illegal Alien, Catasrophea, Revolution Man, Demontage and The Witch Hunters. I hope I'll be able to get all the books written back in the day. Only negative was that once we got home my mom started doing bills so I unloaded the suitcase from the car, unloaded the stuff from the suitcase and putting them where they go (laundry in the hamper, my purchases where I can get to them, food stuffs in the kitchen) and when there was just the cosmetics bag left she told me she'd unpack it so I went to check my purchases for any price stickers I needed to remove. While I'm doing that I hear her complain to my dad, who we picked on the way back, about her having to put all the stuff in the luggage away all by herself while I was only concerned about my purchases. crem dung! The only thing left was the cosmetic bag and she likes everything put back a certain way and she told me she'd unpack it. I ended up doing that myself. I didn't even get a thanks for it at all! And she pulls this every time we go somewhere and I get something while we're away. I mean I haul the luggage in, unload it, put stuff where it should be before even doing any opening of my purchases and yet she always acts like I haul the luggage in, unload the bag, open up my purchases and leave her to put everything away. The only things I don't touch and leave for her is the paperwork and that's only because she doesn't trust me to get it all out and on the counter for her.

Finally got around to finishing my watching of Seijuu Sentai Gingaman. It's a pretty average season for Super Sentai but it was still great since the heroes were so likeable. Probably going to do a watch of Gravity Falls now

When he had said he's doing the entire Skyward trilogy I realized we were in for a two year drought unless he pulls a miracle out of his hands.

I'm going to do my review of Arcanum Unbounded a little differently from the other books by giving my thoughts by system. Selish System I'm pretty curious about what the third great domain of Sel is. Maybe something that could be saved for another short story? The Hope of Elantris It was a sweet story, even more because of the postscript The Emperor's Soul Currently on the Scadrian System

@Yata Isn't the Skaze part of Skai/Dominion's power? What if someone bound them all together again to recreate either Skai or Dominion in a new body? Heck it could be done if you combine the different Dor systems.

Well I was just using Sel as an example. It's not easy thinking of how any other system we know about being end-negative. The closest I could think is any we think is end-positive or end-neutral but is actually end-negative or the ones we don't know the category yet.

Turned out to be a bad battery that needed to be replaced. Thankfully it still had a year of battery replacement warranty so it didn't cost me. I work with 'geniuses' so that shows how bad my workplace is.

It would be funny if it's a system we know a lot about but haven't really seen the end-negative side of it much. Like for example Sel, we all assume the systems work exactly the same way, but with them all being powered by two Shards there's got to be a percentage difference like AonDor could be 90% Devotion 10% Dominion and Dahkor is the opposite. There's certainly a high possibility that there's a magic system on Sel that's 100% Devotion and one that's 100% Dominion. Heck we don't even know what type of magic the third great realm uses!

Here's the WOB on her future role Aleesha (paraphrased) Will Shai have a role in the next Elantris books? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes she will have a role in the future Elantris books or at least a cameo in them if not. Thats the thing, we don't know what happened to Dominion's physical body. For all we know it could be preserved somewhere on Sel. We also don't know what happens to the body of a Shard if they die and it's left alone, whether it becomes a mortal body or stays 'immortal'. If his body is still around on Sel somewhere and Shai made it where he was just badly injured instead of Splintered like with the Emperor...

You know if it does turn out to be a reformed Dominion then we already have the pieces to explain how he's back: Shai is confirmed to play a part in the Elantris sequels and Forgery can rewrite history. What if she brings him back? What if she decides to up herself from reforging a ruler's soul and reforge a god? And who knows how Forgery affects a Shard. All of this also would explain why the Ire are pretty mum about events that have happened on Sel.

Going to Fencon over the weekend. Going to dress up as Arthur Dent on Saturday.

It's pretty good. You get a lot more out of the Rangers, Zordon and the villains than you do in the show. You grow to care about these characters a lot more as well. So far the trade paperbacks have everything before Shattered Grid so you can catch up on them before the Shattered Grid collection starts next year. Here's all the stuff so far involving Power Rangers: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The main series focusing on the team post-Green With Evil Go Go Power Rangers: Shows the team during their early days before Tommy shows up. Haven't read it yet but I've heard it's better than the main series in terms of characterization. Pink: Shows what happened to Kimberley after she left and why she wrote Tommy that "Dear John" letter Power Rangers/Justice League: You already know this one Power Rangers Aftershock: A small sequel to the movie Soul of the Dragon: Focuses on Tommy as an old man trying to find his son who's gone missing (coming in December) Archives: Collects all the comics from before Boom! started doing the comics. Now when it comes to Shattered Grid you have to know the stories of both the main series and Go Go since a character from Go Go is part of the whole event and reveals some stuff not covered in the main stuff. To know the whole story, just on Shattered Grid itself, you need: MMPR #24-30, GGPR #8-12, Free Comic Book Day, 2018 Annual and Shattered Grid Finale #1 along with episodes 19 & 20 of the Hyper RPG show Power Rangers Hyperforce. If you plan on waiting for the collected editions here's what's in them: MMPR 7 25-28 (March 2019), GGPR 3 9-12 (April 2019), MMPR 8 29-30 and Finale (May 2019), Lost Chronicles 2 2018 Annual and Anniversary Special (June 2019), Shattered Grid softcover MMPR 25-30, Finale and Free Comic Book Day (August 2019) and Shattered Grid Hardcover MMPR 24-30, GGPR 9-12, Finale, 2018 Annual and Free Comic Book Day (November 2019).

Just finished The Dark Talent. I'm just going to put all my thoughts in spoilers for those who haven't read the book yet. Now onto the Cosmere collection itself
