Merlin

So, my friend recently finished Stormlight for the 1st time, and she's moving to Mistborn. I need a coherent way to explain the whole cosmere-multiverse-worldhopper-Splinters-Adonalsium thing without sounding like: "So, uh, there was this guy or force or something living on a planet called, uh... idk. Um... and he was destroyed? I think? Or, like, it's called Splintering, so he splintered into all these parts, or, like, um... emotions? I guess? And they all went to the different planets in the cosmere, which is like another universe, sort've. And one was Odium, and like, Cultivation. And Ruin and stuff. and Odium, like killed other emotion-splinter-things. And on Roshar there's, like Honor, who... Ok. I'll stop. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you guys could help try to come up with a little speech that's makes enough sense that I don't sound like a TOTAL madman. (I'm perfectly sane, it's my hallucinations who aren't.)

Granted, but "good" is a subjective term... and it just so happens that everyone's idea of good is Twilight, Grapes of Wrath, and Animal Farm. I wish to stop sounding like a dying cat whenever I cough up mucus. (And I wish to stop coughing up mucus.)

Granted. But you never get to actually watch it, you just have all spoiled on a wikipedia page. I wish for tom kha gai soup.

It would also be really hard to do the interludes. They would take up time and people would be confused why we have this random scene with a Purelaker guy all of a sudden, and I, for one, wouldn't remember enough about their stories to feel the significance later on. (Like with Rysn, who appears throughout and only becomes prominent near the end of Oathbringer.)

Thank you, Lucas.

I really hope people care enough about Stormlight to get pumped for it, and have really interesting discussions concerning it, but also that they don't turn it into a fanatical religion where they shoot down other ideas, claiming that theirs is right. I think people do have their opinions, and sometimes they are very strong, but not so much that they actually make death wishes for people who believe something different. (It is, after all, an epic fantasy series concerning flying men, instant transportation, a pathway to other worlds, and a corrupt splinter of an eternal being that's trying to destroy the universe, so I'd be VERY worried if someone did turn it into a fanatical religion.)

Moash to Kaladin:

In WoK, it is a puppet position, but it wasn't always one. The last Alethi king was the Sunmaker, and it seems like he ruled with a Shardplate fist (eh, eh?).Since the Kholin brothers recently restarted the tradition of kingship in Alethkar, there isn't much of a tradition for how the position works. Perhaps they all remembered the old traditions, but tried to bend and interpret them in ways they weren't supposed to be, making the king"s position a lot more puppet-like than usual.

Granted. Someone turns you into fire. I wish for food that's not ketchup to be in my fridge.

Granted. Cilantro is the only food you can eat for the rest of eternity. (Except salt. You can always put salt on the cilantro. Aren't I nice?)

Thank you! I've been... confused.

Don't accept any cookies with spikes in them. I have no idea why, but I got the warning when I first joined, so I assume it's important. Somehow.

I call him "TinkerBarbie"

And it says that Shin are often mistaken for children, which suggests that they are at least a half foot shorter than the average. It also could mean that Rosharians have the epicanthic fold (eye fold) of most Asians. I've always wondered if that was true.

In Arcanum Unbounded it says that the Rosharan year is longer than normal, same with the Rosharan foot. Exactly how much longer are they, and why?

Except he probably dines on the tortured souls of mortals or something.

Granted. It gains the powers of Godzilla and rampages through the city, mistaking the people for carrots and... you know. I wish for my foot to stop hurting.

Granted. A bat nests in it.

It's random, but it was 12 when me and friend came up with this. We thought it was hilarious, but in hindsight... Monday: Mistborn. Everything is bleak and it doesn't matter in the end and life is pain and death and there is no hope for survival... Tuesday: Stormlight. Off to a better start and your feeling confident, but... there's... so much... more... left to go... Wednesday: Warbreaker: Stuck in the middle, some good elements, but mostly just... there. Thursday: Elantris. We're there. Almost. Very close, but laced with elements of longing. Friday: Wax and Wayne. Ahhhh... If any of you have any ideas for Saturday and Sunday, I'm open! (Of course, this is my opinion, so if anyone has another and wants to share it, please do!)

Lord of the Rings. For the third time. I didn't like it the first time, so why I managed to come back to it again is a mystery lost in the dryer.

Granted. It always shows your most inward emotions, and you cannot control it. I wish for the stupid hangnail on my finger to heal.
