Personification

Yes. The joke is based on the fact that there is a CR character named Vax('ildan) and that "Is this Vax?" is a Cosmere meme. In hindsight, it might have been funnier if I had gone with Vex instead, but that may be too far.

I've been sitting on this idea for a while, partly because I still can't believe nobody has made it before:

Removed Nalthis, because SO MUCH PUNCHING! On which of these worlds have they invented overpriced coffee?

Sel, at least in the cognitive. Which of these is named after the god that worships Hoid?

Isn't this the scene where he finds out about Adams and immediately feels vindicated?

It is generally just Sanderson stuff, but you could pretend it was a Kaladin meme.

Lin wishes he were as bad of a father as Straff.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent

If you'd gone with a convertible, you could have had "Szeth-son-son-Volvo, Roofless of Shinovar".

I was right! I had remembered it from the book, but when I wanted to double check I didn't have it on me, and when I looked at the online released Lift interlude the text was different. In that case, I take back my taking back of my comment.

Never mind, I reread the scene and realized that I misremembered. Still, I think he has a son her age so it is a possibility.

Of course Mraize is nice. He is, after all, a man of wealth and taste.

Um. This literally already happened with Rock's son.

Nah. If she marries anyone it's Rock's son, and no matter whose children they are she will never be anything less than a weird aunt.

Welcome to the dark side.

Nah, that's the diagram.

SH:

The Ghostbloods 100% strike me as an evil organization. Not in a mustache-twirling way, but in a "trading a teenage girl to a mad scientist who will almost definitely kill her for diplomatic immunity is something that this organization is fine with" kind of way. Founding the Ghostbloods (and technically, we don't know that he did that yet, he may have joined and "taken over within a year" as Brandon said he could) is, if anything, more evidence for him being Evil. Also, to those who say he wasn't evil in Era 1, Brandon has pretty explicitly said that in any environment outside of the Final Empire as a skaa, Kel would have been a villain, and then he showed us what that might look like with Miles.

Can someone please do the astronaut "always has been" thing with (Mistborn)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: https://xkcd.com/391/ Also, I was offline when the season ended (which it technically hasn't in my time zone yet, though I understanding we are cutting it short because the SotS came out early).

In order: The Lopen, Kaladin, and Teft:

A collection of quotes from things that aren't by Brandon Sanderson that (fairly poorly) describe the arcs of some of the major characters through each Stormlight book: WoK: WoR: Edgedancer: OB: I was going to have more of these, but I had trouble coming up with them. If anyone else thinks of more, please add them.

Spren: Wow, your deadeye is well trained. Adolin: Actually, she is doing this on her own. Spren:
