Well i'm certainly waiting to see it, that ought to be dark as Damnation

Would you venture into the unknown world of recommendations? I'd sure love to see more Cosmere Disney songs!

Alright, fine. I don't think it's as good as Kell's though.

The ash falls softly through the air tonight

Not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation

And it looks like I'm the king

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, Ruin knows I try

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good skaa you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and grab that ax

I don't care what Ruin might make me do

Let the storm rage on

The spikes never bothered me anyway

It's funny how my powers make everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me

Can't get to me at all

It's time to see what I can do

To test the metals and break through

No right, no wrong, no rules for me

I'm free

Let it go, let it go

I am one with the ash and shadows

Let it go, let it go

You'll never see me cry

Here I stand and here I stay

Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air and to the ground

My soul is spiraling in ashen fractals all around

And metals burn within me fueling my power

I'm never going back, the past is in the past

Let it go, let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go, let it go

That perfect man is gone

Here I stand on this darkest day

Let the ash rage on

The spikes never bothered me anyway.

Ah, that's kinda nice to get out of my system. And yeah, I think so. I've always liked making parodies.

On another note, have you guys noticed how well The Greatest Showman fits for Mistborn stuff? I mean Rewrite the Stars has major Velend qualities, Come Alive is like Kelsier talking to Vin, The Other Side is like Kelsier convincing the crew to join him and A Million Dreams is like Kelsier in general. Storm it, why are they all about Kell? I have issues.

Wow, those are very dark lyrics for a Let it go adaptation. I like it!

Why thank you. *bow*  I made one for Marsh too 'cause I have way too much time on my hands. 

I feel like this song could fit somewhere in WoR. It fits really well for Shallan and how they have the countdown to worry about.

Also, I admit to having made a Let it Go for Kelsier.

The mists sweep wide through the city tonight

Not a footfall to be heard

A kingdom of broken memory

And it looks like I'm the king

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, Mare knows I've tried

Let them in, but don't let them see

Be the Mistborn you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

They'll never know

Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Anything to avenge her death!

I don't care what they're going to say

Let the storm rage on

Hathsin couldn't break me anyway.

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

And the limits that once controlled me can't get to me at all

It's time to see what I can do

To test the limits and break through

No right, no wrong, no rules for me

I'm free!

Let it go, let it go

I am one with the mists at night

Let it go, let it go

You'll never see me cry

Here I stand and here I'll stay

Let the storm rage on

My metals burn within me stirring up my wrath

My knife is deadly spilling noble blood on the ground

And one coin flies into a blackened noble heart

I'm never going back, the past is in the past

Let it go, let it go

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

Let it go, let it go

That broken man is gone

Here I stand in the light of day

Let the storm rage on!

The scars never bothered me anyway.

When literally every song you listen to makes you think of a Cosmere character no matter how far you have to stretch to make it work.

When you have to explain to everyone in your English class what chulls are.

When you have to relate everything to something in Brandon's books. (Oh my Shards, this scarf is like mist! Look, that dress could be a havah! Spook would hate streetlamps. I wonder what Kell and the crew would do at a beach... That symbol could almost be an Aon. If you changed that person's nose and eyes and mouth shape just a tiny bit and made their lips just a tiiiiiiny bit different, they could look like                 !)

Well, I think we need some more Elantris lovers on the forums. Welcome!

I'm already almost halfway through TFE!

Q uick question for when I'm through with era 1: I haven't read era 2 nor Secret History so far. With which should I start?

It's really up to you. I was told not to read SH until after BoM, but I couldn't handle it. I picked it up about halfway through and I was not disappointed. I don't think it matters.

That depends. How much do you love Kelsier?

Can he redo the Eragon and Percy Jackson movies? I think a lot of people would appreciate that. 

Count me in! When I started OB I was really willing to give him a chance and I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, he'd redeem himself and then... AGH! I hate him forever and always. I can't accept what he did to Elhokar and he's joined the Voidbringers. May he burn forever. He doesn't deserve redemption in any form. 

I'm not usually one for theories, and I can hardly say this counts as one, but here goes. So, Preservation makes a point of saying that he's "already dead" throughout Secret History. I've always thought that he's referring to his "death" as when he locked Ati away. That's a little vague so let me explain further. Basically, it would mean that Leras was so crushed by having to do that that he let his Shard take him over, thus "killing" what consciousness Preservation's Vessel had left. I really wish I could explain this more simply. But what do you guys think?

Elhokar. It's not original, but everyone else's death's felt... sealed. Their stories are over. Elhokar's end was just plain unfair.

Wow, this song is perfect!

Probably Kelsier or Wayne.

Fabulous choices. 

Well, welcome! Who's your favorite character?

Honestly, how can you not love Kelsier at least a little bit?

Definitely OB. I feel like at that point you're just super connected to all the characters so you're really on the edge of your seat while reading it, especially since the stakes are so high. It was really cool to see Dalinar grow so much. I was seriously close to crying with joy when he turned the tables right on top of Odium. Also, Renarin is my favorite character so it was awesome to read from his perspective. You just get to see all the characters in their element. Jasnah was awesome, Lift was hilarious, Szeth was fantastic. I think my favorite thing about the ending of OB is that everyone is together and, well, united. 

So, a lot of times when I listen to music, I'll try to fit different songs for different characters and stuff. Anyway, I've found a bunch of different "themes" for these things and I think this one fits for all of Roshar. Tell me what you think.

There is a line in HoA from marsh's Pov where he state that he have about twenty spikes in him.

More then normal.

See The Hero of Ages chapter 72.

 

That makes sense. And I'm pretty sure he has more than normal because Ruin wanted to keep him tethered down. Marsh is a fighter which Ruin would definitely find out pretty quickly (I can only imagine how frustrated he would have been trying to get Marsh to kill Saze in WoA) and the more spikes you have, the harder it would be to resist. Fortunately, Marsh is amazing and he's not going to give up like that. 

I've totally thought about this before! (I mean, Shard of Thought, I think about everything) And yeah, I agree. As for Kelsier (don't judge) I may have signed out of my Pottermore account to take the sorting quiz for him and he was a Gryffindor. But how knows? My friend like to complain that the houses are too general anyway. If Kelsier was in the world of Harry Potter, that would kinda be up to the Sorting Hat and how he felt that day. I can see Ham in Hufflepuff. Spook too, though he'd also fit pretty well in Gryffindor.

Eat something. 

(We've never seen Marsh eat. He must compound bendalloy. Like, eat one cracker, and be full for the rest of the day)

OH MY SHARDS! I've wondered about this. Seriously. How did Ruin feed them? Did they just live off of grass like the koloss? Also,

Marsh: Um, excuse me. How are we going to bathe?

Ruin: Don't know, don't care. Use the rain. BACK TO WORK!

Favourite Mistborn character... Hmm... I think that would either be Spook or Sazed.

Good choices. I think Spook deserves a bit more love. But then, I say that about Marsh and Dox too...

Maybe he was the experiment for Spook and them finding out the bind points.

That makes more sense, though I have a hard time seeing why Marsh would let them do that. Still, I won't dismiss the possibility. 

Just now, Use the Falchion said:

What if...what if YOU'RE MARSH AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IDEAS?!?! I'd say wait until Gen 8 comes out to collect all the Pokémon. 

But joking aside, I think Marsh might be able to find a community that accepts him more willingly in Silverlight/with the in-universe Seventeenth Shard than just on Scadrial. 

You never know... MWAHAHAHA!

Yeah... Marsh deserves more. #SpikedLivesMatter

Holy Kelsier, what would he think of all this...?
