"I am the Lopen, which means I am ready for anything at any time. You should know this by now."

"Hey, gancho! Hey! You want me, I think. You can use me. We Herdazians are great fighters, gon. You see, this one time, I was with, sure, three men and they were drunk and all but I still beat them."

"I’m an expert on one-armed Herdazian jokes. ‘Lopen,’ my mother always says, ‘you must learn to laugh before others do. Then you steal the laughter from them, and have it all for yourself.’ She is a very wise woman."

"A one-armed Herdazian is still twice as useful as a no-brained Alethi."

"Oh. Oh. Question for you! What did the one-armed Herdazian do to the man who stuck him to the wall?
Nothing. The Herdazian was 'armless.'"

"Ain’t nothing wrong with being a woman, gancho. Some of my relatives are women."

"Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before pancakes."

"If you’re crazy, you’re a good type, and I like you. Not a killing-people-in-their-sleep type of crazy. Besides, we all follow crazies all the time. Do it every day with lighteyes."

These are all exclusively from the Lopen. Though I know Kaladin and the others have their funny moments, they're just harder to find. xD

I hope this helped!

How exactly would 3D chalklings be worse than 2D chalklings with the glyph of rending? The 2D ones can interact with the 3D world, but are also able to slip through impossibly thin cracks. Just about the only advantage I can think of for the 3D chalkling would be an ability to step over a stream of acid that the 2D ones couldn't get past.

I suppose that another advantage would be that a Line of Warding wouldn't be effective. They could just reach over. You'd have to use a Line of Forbiddance, which might corner you into a box. Though considering how easily wild chalklings can tear through Lines of Warding, it might not be a huge advantage compared to what they already have. Perhaps 3D "non-wild" chalklings would enable each individual chalkling to fight humans directly. What are your thoughts?

I wonder if it would automatically take on both the properties of a Line of Forbiddance and Warding... That would be one awesome Circle of Forbiddance... or whatever it would be called.

Oh my dusts! You know what 3D printers are? They basically allow you to draw lines of plastic-like material in 3D shapes. I wonder if they could make an equivalent, but for chalk? That would be... dangerous. Imagine three-dimensional chalklings??? Worst. Nightmare.

A lot of the students weren't paying attention in their classes yes, but a lot of them were also really bad at drawing good circles. Those who didn't pay attention, didn't succeed.

It's just like with regular students. The goofs do poorly on tests, and the few freakishly devoted nerds ace them. I think the same principle applies here. Stories tend center on the abnormal people, so I guess that's why it seems that in the Rithmatist... a lot of people can draw good circles. They're just the ones that we interact with more.

I liked your post though. Drawing with chalk is what Rithmatists do for fun instead of video games. xD Beautifully put.

@Jorville I'd have to say Roshar. Really any one of the Surgebinding powers is just awesome. xD

Thank you all! I feel so loved

Oh and my favorite Brandon Sanderson character(s) are Shallan and Kaladin. I know most people don't like Shallan, but I'm weird like that xD

What's my favorite Brandon Sanderson quote? Ummmmm..... ALL of them??? Does that count as an appropriate answer?

And... thank you Archer for warning me... I think?

...Me. Now you know I exist. My life is complete. Thank you
