  1. Electro wouldn't mind having something to do, if Corpsemaker has nothing else for him.
  2. Marsh is awesome and badchull, but you cannot kill hope. Kelsier wins this one.
  3. I really like Patty Spivot too. But yeah, Jay not showing up bothered me too. Aside from that, I really liked this episode. I think I might already like Jax as FIRESTORM better than Ronnie.
  4. Brandon? I wonder the same thing every time I read it. It's one of the best action scenes in fantasy, in books in general, I've ever read. Another thing I just thought of:
  5. I'm rereading TFE, and I just finished Kelsier's fight scenes and oh, storms, I forgot how much I loved them. That scene definitely ranks as one of Brandon's best, in my opinion. It never ceases to give me the chills when I read it. Along with the HoA battle and some of the final battle scenes in SA, this is definitely one of my favorites. Spoilers below.
  6. No, you cannot. Brass and zinc, like Iron and Pewter, are external metals. They cannot affect you; just like you can't Push or Pull on metal in your own body, you can't Push or Pull your own emotions.
  7. I agree with dklee, Vasher is where my vote is going. Vasher is a cooler character, IMO too.
  8. I actually have like no charm.
  9. Perfect! Just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
  10. Ah, that's it. I thought it was [br] for some reason. Thanks!
  11. Oh okay, I'll try that, thanks. Edit: Huh, it works, but not when I copy it from word to the editor here.
  12. You get a bendalloy bubble! *Inserts Knights Dull*
  13. How? What do you type to do it?
  14. Twi, are we ever going to get the rest of Memeborn: The Final Meme?
  15. Emma post up. Does anyone know how to make those lines that take up the width of the page in between sections?
  16. "You too, Ev?" Emma whispered. Her sister laughed at her tears and shook her head. "Of course, Emma. You're too weak. What guy would like you?" Evelyn tossed her perfect hair over her shoulder as she walked off with Emma's boyfriend, or who she had thought was her boyfriend. Her sister had betrayed her. She had thought Evey was the perfect sister, but now she saw through the visage. Evelyn was just strong enough to get what she wanted. Emma went home, hiding her tears. When her mom came up to get her for dinner, she saw the makeup stains on Emma's face and asked what happened. Emma told her how Evey had stole her boyfriend, tears running down her face all over again. She waited for her mother to sit down and console her, give her a hug and tell her it'd be okay. Her mom just stood there for a minute, then her face contorted into an ugly face of anger. "Emma, how could you? Your father and I gave you and Evelyn everything. Evey knows how to use what she's been given, but you, you just wallow in your own self-pity. How could you be so selfish and weak?" Emma sat in shock, tears frozen at the brim of her eyelids. "You are ungrateful, selfish, and lazy! We should never have had another child after Evelyn. Our life would be so much simpler and happier without you, mooching our happiness and hard work for your own pleasure. The devil's own daughter, you are," Emma's mother continued her rant. "Get out of our house, now!" Emma stood up, slowly, still in shock. Her mother? Mommy? Evey and now Mom? How? She walked to the door, her tears edging to the border of her lashes. "And don't come back. You aren't a Runes anymore. Never again." Emma walked away from her house and as she sat in one of the Dalles' small alleys, her pent-up tears finally spilled over, the barrier of shock finally worn off. She wasn't wanted. Her mother hated her and Evelyn had betrayed her and she didn't deserve to live. Emma climbed to the top of the apartment building she had been sitting next to. She broke through the locks on the roof door. She walked out on the roof, cold autumn wind biting through her sweatshirt and leggings. She walked over to the edge almost in a daze. Emma looked over the edge. Evey, I'm sorry. She closed her eyes and leaned forward, tipping off the edge of the building and hurtling to the ground below. Emma woke with a start. Her heart was pounding and her pillow was damp. The nightmares never ended, not since that day. But worse than the fake feeling of betrayal from Evey in her dream was the deeper truth of her guilt of being the one who killed her. It wasn't Evey's fault, or her mother's, or anyone else's. It was Emma's. All Emma's. Her parents could never, would never, take her back after that, right? How could they? How could they look their daughter in the eye and see anything but a monster? The one daughter had taken the life of the other, Evey's blood still staining Emma's heart and she knew her parents would see that. Her mother especially, never failed to discern Emma's state of mind. Emma glanced out the window and saw the wreckage of the battle with the pandas the day before. She thought of the lives she might've saved by destroying the mutants. She thought of how she had talked Ethan out of his killing spree. Yes, she was a monster, but she could channel her anger and fear to be a monster, a weapon, directed by Vondra and by the Dalles' innate goodness. She cleaned herself up, took a quick, but hot, shower, and dressed, quickly eating a bowl of cereal. She spent as little time in this small apartment as she could. Being here just reminded her of her real home. The one she couldn't go back to. Arsenal was in HQ, giving orders through his radio, as always. "Sir, I'm here. Where do you want me?" Emma asked, devoid of sarcasm and mirth. She didn't feel like giving Arsey a hard time right now. She was having a hard enough time of it herself right now.
  17. Agreed. It was alright, better than I expected. I definitely am seeing the similarities between this and Flash/Arrow. Berlanti's hand is evident in the little flashes right before a commercial break and in the voiceovers. They sound almost exactly like they do on the Flash.
  18. GrantMHansen did Dalinar, I think. Wayne would be hilarious to see. Kaladin would be my second choice too.
  19. Just wait till you get to college, then you'll really like free food.
  20. For going to the same high school I went to!
