  1. Is this the official recipe for one of the pancakes?
  2. I agree. As an aside, I thought it was interesting that Dalinar suggested he could be an ambassador. I think Kaladin would find a lot of fulfilment in diplomacy. Not saying he'd never fight again; but it seems deep down, at the moment, he does not see singers, and even some Fused as enemies; or at least not completely. It was most obvious during the fight between the wall guards and the singers in Kholinar, where Kaladin recognized Sah and Khen; you could see he has gone to respect Leshwi and see honor in her. I don't know exatly how this will happen, but you can tell Kaladin has a unique experience that allows him to connect all of these people; to unite them, so to speak. I think he can build bridges (wink wink) between groups where Dalinar couldn't. It seems interesting, too, that Kaladin wanted to help the singers gain independence by teaching them things, while he was their "prisoner". He seemed to have a lot of the same goals as Venli does now. Just one more argument for the Kaladin X Venli shippers, I guess. I can see this bridging happening in this way. I don't know how flexible his "role" as a Windrunner is, as the role of ambassador seems more Willshaper-y or Bondsmith-y to me. But who knows what can be done in that regard. With Renarin bonding a "corrupted" spren, Venli seemingly having bonded a spren and a voidspren, Nale being both a Herald and a Knight Radiant, I have to be open to some weird combinations.
  3. Or "Wah", like the ending of "froid" (cold)... unless they add an umlaut on the "i" (which the French sometimes do for words like polaroid or celluloid, lest someone pronounce them polar-wah or cellul-wah); in this case Hoid would sound much closer to the English pronunciation (but without the H): 'o-eed
  4. I was wondering: do people from the Central Dominance pronounce "tin" differently than an American would?
  5. Urithulu, Taravangee... LOL Another Uniqlo X Evangelion t-shirt. Maybe I ought to give the reboot another chance.
  6. I had forgotten about Jix as well. Perhaps the Overlady is going to attract cultivationspren with this one.
  7. Thanks! I was genuinely asking. I know not to take my pronunciation cues from the Overlady ("Djash Ker-... the place where Shallan's from"), but at 50:13 the Overlord himself said "Tyne", so I wasn't so sure anymore. I'll chalk it up to: - Jebus not being a pronunciation nazi; - the need for humans to use the same language to communicate properly (and marriage is about compromise, I've been told); - the need for the conversation to go smoothly; - the need to maintain a favorable environment for some of these surprising and hilarious pronunciations to keep coming up.
  8. Is Tyn really pronounced that way (rhyming with "pine")? I didn't know.
  9. One of my favorite characters! Exactly as I pictured him (And he's got great deltoids from all that bridge carrying).
  10. Welcome! There's a bunch of Brandon/Cosmere subreddits on Reddit (r/Stormlight_Archive, r/Cosmere, r/brandonsanderson... oh, and r/cremposting). Brandon also posts on Reddit under /u/mistborn.
  11. @Overlord Jebus, great shirt once again.
  12. Like: "Where's Waldo Maya?" I've scanned the drawing but couldn't find her. Help? Speaking of patterns, where is he?
  13. Good idea - that would certainly be the considerate thing to do in the circumstances.
  14. Thanks! No one is bound to do what is impossible. Some thoughts on determining which titles are spoilery and which aren't: perhaps it is a function of screen resolution, but only the beginning of titles are visible on the main forum page. So if I open with a spoiler, everyone will see it, but if I start with something innocuous and end with a spoiler, it might be fine.
  15. Hi! When we open the main forum page, the latest thread with activity on it, for each board, has its title displayed next ot the board's link The Rhythm of War spoiler board is a part of the Stormlight Archive board, and if the latest thread with activity is from that part of the board, its title will be displayed on the main page, next to the Stormlight Archive board link. I humbly suggest that thread titles from this spoiler board should not be displayed on the main forum page, as they are spoilery. If not possible, maybe advising users to keep spoilery information out of titles, maybe? Thanks!
  16. @25:50: Llarimar = "Llama" @30:08 Susebron = "Subaru" (Confidence in motion ) At this point I expected "Pancake" instead of Pahn Khal.
  17. I'm going off the rails on a Shardcast train
  18. Ha! There's few things I've obsessed over in my life, but the 90s NGE series is definitely one of them. What a show!
  19. @Overlord Jebus I think I see Sachiel on your shirt pocket.
  20. To complete the picture, I'd say Kelsier likes Kelsier, and Kaladin doesn't like Kaladin. I think nuances could be made and evidence to the contrary could be presented, but as a general rule, Kaladin is an incredibly harsh self-critic (hating himself for not saving everyone, even though he already went far above and beyond) whereas catastrophes have to happen before Kelsier starts to realize that maybe he was reckless. Both kind of need external voices to fight their tendencies (Dockson, Sazed, Marsh or Vin, for Kelsier; Syl, Bridge 4 members, Wit, Adolin, etc. for Kaladin).
  21. This part cracked me up: For a minute there I thought she was referring to the Lord Ruler.
  22. Welcome! (RIP Sureblood, btw, I'm still not over it.)
  23. Thanks btw! (Meant to edit my post, but I got this message everytime: "We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code 2T252/F")
