  1. Thankfully not. Though on that note, today was the first day this half of the year that I had a cat sleeping on top of me. Winter is coming. TPBM is sleepy.
  2. Micrometer, because the letter μ looks cool. Do you like scented candles?
  3. And I teleport behind you. I'm now third in line to get a bite.
  4. Not often but it has happened. Once or twice during an exam even. Would you start reading TLT from the beginning? (seriously, that thing's long, but I'm tempted to see what weird stuff people have come up with across the years)
  5. I don't know. He was definitely driven by ego and ambition but Brandon does make sure to write the shadow of what once may have been a good person. For me it was when he decides to be harsh with Navani. We're told it was a choice, that he was actively trying to put distance between them so it will hurt less when he inevitably leaves her behind. Then his point about eternal war comes. This sounds foolish and selfish but I think it just comes to show how ingrained into him Alethi ideals were. War is the greatest art a man can pursue, men who die at war will help the Almighty in the war to recover the Tranquiline Halls, so the more men die at war the more help the Almighty has. Figuring out a way to fight forever would be nothing short of godly for that mentality. Stormlight is a series about change. People change, spren change, societies change, perceptions change. Dalinar as the one leading the war effort embodies that change, being the character that makes the biggest 180 so far. He is willing to drop everything he's ever believed in because it's the right thing to do. Gavilar was the most perfect Alethi we get to see, his belief in what he was doing was unshakeable, and that is exactly why he would have led Roshar to its doom. Of course by the end even he was doing some things that may be considered pagan, but his ultimate goal was as aligned with Vorin belief as can be. I think that's what we're supposed to see here, the massive contrast between Gavilar, stoic and immovable, looking straight forward, and Dalinar, open and malleable, staring in all directions ever looking for the right path. And why one of them failed where the other succeeded.
  6. As I do every Sunday night. TPBM listens to Halloween playlists.
  7. Sounds like illegal racing on trains. Would you like your hot chocolate with or without marshmallows?
  8. As soon as the sandwich touches your hand however, a highly adhesive boomerang flies by, snatches the sandwich right off your hand and starts coming back to me.
  9. Not bulky, intricate, and a kind that allows for a lot of freedom of movement. Did I just describe Shardplate? Favorite peanut butter and jelly variant?
  10. So this dropped. It's 99.99 the regular limited edition and 189.99 the one with the plushies. Honestly would love to have Three and Nine as a physical book.
  11. Almost every time there's a rainbow it's double. Do you like trains?
  12. I pull the plug at the bottom of the sea and wait below it for the sandwich to come to me. It may or may not cool the core but it matters not.
  13. As I stay unconscious, I dream of the insides of a piano. Shaken, I wake up. I'm still inside one. I fight my way out, Alien style, and start looking for whoever has the sandwich now.
  14. This was of course how things were fated to be. Otherwise it couldn't continue to be the most delicious sandwich in the world after all. It looks so good in fact that Eluviani's injuries heal from the smell alone and he jumps to take the sandwich right out of your hands.
  15. My previous statement made inaccurate, I don't make a miraculous recovery. The sandwich however does fall into my hands by some strange narrative paradox. So as the fight happens I lie on the ground. Half dead. Sandwich in hand.
  16. I'm gonna switch to future tense. The next person will do something, but I'll make a miraculous recovery from being hit with the bus and take the sandwich from them.
  17. From the ashes of my demons a phoenix is born, which happens to be a cucco. I step between Nameless and Thaidakar making him punch the cucco. The cucco is now mad and I take the sandwich while the massacre happens.
  18. My shard of reality happens to collide with the sandwich's. I am unexisting, but happy. Ninja'd. I switch to a mix of all 3 perspectives. Eluviani lands his ship and summons an army of demons that I decide to be near invincible. You all give up your hopes of getting the sandwich before his might.
  19. I escape the spaceship into one of the conveniently placed X-Wings I found in the cargo hold. Going back to Earth and shooting Keys to make him drop the sandwich. I grab it and keep flying.
  20. They arrive empty handed, as I was one of those mercenaries and took the sandwich and sneaked away without anyone seeing. Sandwich in hand I hop onto the first flight to Jupiter.
  21. I mourn the cow that died crashing into a concrete basement, then jump onto Thaidakar trying to grab the sandwich. Crying for vengeance over something that honestly was my fault.
  22. After waking up to find a cow on top of me, I befriend it and ride it into the basement, then steal the sandwich in the confusion.
  23. I flip a switch and invert the polarity of all magnets in the world, including sandwich magnets. The sandwich is now flying, full speed, towards me. I see, so The Ultimate Showdown happened because of a sandwich.
  24. Only online. Eluviani does sound kind of feminine. TPBM just woke up.
  25. No idea. But I'll say Steve. If a stranger on the street told you to hop on one leg while singing Hotel California, what would you do?
