  1. Currently no plans doesn't mean we never will! Just that we haven't talked about anything yet.
  2. We have had general WYR threads before but they're dead, so new one works! No legs, I feel like there are better mobility devices to help with that. (Though if anyone with experience in the area thinks I'm wrong, feel free to teach me more ) Would you rather ride an elephant or a panda?
  3. I do disagree with this - while they're separate attractions (that happen to be in the same direction for many people), that doesn't mean every instance of sexual attraction in a book is devoid of romantic attraction as well. For a lot of us weirdo allos (and some aspec [asexual or aromantic spectrum, for our learners in the thread] folks too!), there are instances where sex or sexual attraction are inherently romantic, or where primarily romantic attraction does have a sensual element to it. In a lot of these spicier books, it is still romance happening. Heck, a lot of pure smut has romance in it, despite it not being the focus of the genre. There's also a marketing element as to what kinds of plots or tropes readers might expect to find in romance books. That's a tangent, sorry, I like talking about this stuff. Ever since I figured out I wasn't ace anymore a few years back I've found it all kind of fascinating. Humans! Your explanation was good
  4. I think it definitely could work, and Brandon might very well do it at some point! I don't think it'll be first or instead of adaptations, though, especially when steps are already being made on that front.
  5. They're ADORABLE, I love them. YKYASW you have spent hundreds of dollars on your Sanderson collection and it's theoretically worth thousands?? (Book collecting is wild, man.) When there has been a magnet of Shallan saying "I am plotting tax evasion" on your whiteboard for like a year. When you met some of the people most dear to you in the world on this website.
  6. I would guess that just not all of his predictions are actually relevant to the story we see, and some were just Brandon having fun. I don't think the Mistborn reference was a prediction that came true either.
  7. Captain they've declared war they've declared war we are DOOMED. On the bright side, the distraction seems to be working?
  8. Published books, though - I'd look more to them for precedent, and at the stuff already on the Coppermind, but then I don't know what's on the Coppermind in this area. I don't know what would be best for the last one...I'd lean more toward a label like General or Multiple than Narrator, myself. Feels more wiki-ish? But I don't know if there's actually preferred terminology XD
  9. There is an R logo: Dunno if there exists a file of it off the shirt, though.
  10. *whispers* pssst, Captain, the propaganda campaign is going great, everyone totally thinks we're coming to destroy them instead of to steal all their gelato, but also I think it may have worked a little too well because they also think we're all-powerful and I don't know how to live up to that expectation, sir, what do we do
  11. I think I'll pass, but thanks for offering! Best wishes to the darker-haired cult
  12. Unless you're spamming a whole bunch of messages at them, I cannot imagine anyone would ever be upset at being genuinely wished a happy birthday. We're going for approachable, not "too scary to say hi to".
  13. Do other books have narrator POVs? I would not do that myself, the narrator isn't a character, just a slightly distanced voice. I'd say they're Jerick's, Frost's, and the last paragraph...multi? Dunno. Question for the Keepers on how they'd do it, maybe.
  14. Oh I love the cat in your banner! Are they a canon character or an OC?

      It was a cool twist that it wasn't her and was Dovefeather (iirc the suffix?) instead, but her story IS tragic -_-

    3. The Stormfather

      The Stormfather

      Dovewing.

      I think Dovewing's power's are the most useful of all of them, honestly. Being able to spy on anyone when they make plans to attack you, not being able to get snuck up on, it just seems so helpful for them. 

      In the final battle however, she did practically nothing except nearly get killed by Darkstripe.

      RIGHT Dovewing. I really need to reread these lol. 

  15. Adblockers are my best friend!
  16. It's a theory floating around, but hard to say for sure if this is what Dragonsteel's doing - running a theme park is pretty different from their current wheelhouse but maybe?? I definitely think the land around there is where they're building their events center.
  17. Moved to General Brandon Discussion since this is a more for-fun thing. *takes off mod hat* Also, it's pulling from the inferior wiki, down with Fandom Wikia
  18. I don't know how doable this is, but the pop-up has been bugging me too, honestly. The accidental mouseover is constant.
  19. Oh nice, I hadn't noticed the video. Cool stuff!
  20. Its code has always been ph34r - if you type that in (the same way you do in Discord) it'll pop up too.
  21. To be clear, I don't think her life being genuinely in danger excuses all possible behavior! But I think it does account for a good chunk of it. You're also making me want to reread now XD
