  1. One of my favorite things about Sanderson books is that there are very few characters that can be easily defined as "evil". Yes, Moash is a jerk, but he was driven to it. Yes, Amaram is a liar and a hypocrite, but he is, in his own way, trying to save the world. TLR was trying to preserve humanity (and I do NOT agree with his methods, but he did give it a good shot). Honestly, I think the only characters that can be truly defined as classic villains are Ruin and Odium. Possibly all the Shards, since they are literally incapable of being anything other than their Intent. Everyone else is pretty much just a person with different goals. And the interaction and/or clashing of those goals is what causes conflict.
  2. Okay -- Odium, as a concept, is indeed pretty cool. So's Ruin. They have solid logic woven into their outlooks and provide an interesting look into what people would be like if they only had one aspect of a personality.
  3. David and Syl... Would probably get along great and get nothing done. Tia and Jasnah... Wow that's scary. Jasnah on caffeine. Kelsier and Dusk. Wait, no. That should never happen. Lopen and Wayne... Utter chaos.
  4. I Love All Of Themmmmmmm But overall, I think SA has the richest worldboulding and most well-thought-out character development. It just weaves together really well.
  5. Assassination Classroom (an anime that I have seen 1.5 episodes of)
  6. Ooooooh I'm so excited!!! Cosmere dragons! What could possibly go wrong
  7. ...Do highspren have a sense of humor? That might go badly for the poor Skybreaker. Edit: Also, what is a Silent Gatherer? Is it from WoT or something?
  8. Made one. Unfortunately, not for sale. (It has half the Willshapers glyph on it!!!)
  9. YKYASF when you're watching Attack on Titan (it's absorbing my soul) and EVERY TIME someone says "ODM gear" -- EVERY RUSTING TIME -- you think they said Odium.
  10. That reminds me of the time I saw a book called Night Blood and had a tiny panic attack. Also, the time I saw a graphic novel called Skyward. (And the grading system my school district uses is called Skyward too... )
  11. Oh Oh no AAAHHHHH WHAT IF IT IIIIIS THOUGH what have you done
  12. I would be VERY concerned if the Doctor was half as... manipulative as Hoid I mean, you're right, but they have very different vibes. EDIT: Also! That reminded me of this... (Not sure where it's from, I found it on a Google search)
  13. I myself have gotten these weird looks. They must be a sign of hidden awesomeness.
  14. It is highly incorrect to place a heart anywhere near that name. But I appreciate the sentiment
  15. Yay... another book to read. I have half a chalkboard devoted to books I need to get around to at some point.
  16. Fablehaven! Haven't read that in years. Or is it the new series?
  17. Ahh. Ahh! So many feels! nooooooooo Anyway, YKYASF when you call an aerial maneuver in Star Wars an Ahlstrom loop.
  18. Mine's sapphire too (Yay September buddies!) but I'm more of a Willshaper person (And kinda mad there isn't more about them).
  19. I once timed one of my (other) friends when she was reading a four-book series -- she finished them all in just over an hour. Decent sized books, too.
  20. I got our oboe to read all my Cosmere books (He reads SO fast it's almost scary )
  21. a ) Yay pep band!!! What do you play? (I'm an alto sax) b ) I once almost lost my copy of Elantris in the bleachers Edit: (Still can't put quotes in while editing... Regarding @Second To Last Post 's post) c ) My friends always joke that I eat books. (They're delicious )
  22. When you go on every car trip possible with your dad so you can listen to AoL together on audiobook (He's liking it so far!)
  23. My school doesn't use Kahoot often enough for me to really get a theme, but I've always wanted to play as "Hoid", win first place, and then never tell anyone it was me
  24. Here's a post so you can post again without double-posting, @Dr. Dapper Let us join in the quest to aid a fellow Sharder in getting 1000 posts legally!
