I can't. I made a mistake name changing. Limit on how often you can change your name.

Kind of. Animism is the belief that all things have a soul and an awareness. Taoism indicates that there is only one great soul that all things are patterned off of. I am massively simplifying here of course.
-
I personally find Rock to be more in keeping with animism. Otherwise I agree with you.

Yes. There are still some sticklers for using he but even they tend not to be consistent. NPR did a great story on this.

In theory and sometimes needing help. Also no physical law stops humans from making planets. We just find it too expensive right now. Long lived is just decent medical care. Also age is not enough. Do they? They mostly exist in the SR but that does not mean that where they are is beyond human understanding. Depends who you ask. In monotheistic thought, God is conceived of as the supreme being, creator deity, and principal object of faith.[1] God is usually conceived as being omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (all-present) and as having an eternal and necessary existence. I don't think the shard pass any of these tests. Additionally in my view worship of a god should be a useful and beneficial practice. If Jasnah does not find that worship benefits her then her doing so would be hypocrisy.

Mistborn can burn any metal. This includes god metals.

Give you breath. Beauty Generosity

Makes sense. The planet is called scadrial. It is like saying those guys who come from the ground. This actually hits at some more major spoilers and should be edited

It is not so much that she believes it as that she is stubborn in refusing to acknowledge it. Memories are not accurate. They are basically guesswork about what you feel is right. If you muddling things up you can actually loose quite a bit. Also she has a supernatural enhancement in this area. She doe slip up occasionally especially in new situations(like with Amaram who she has not been around much). However yeah I could also walk into a classroom with failing grades and think and talk like I was a perfectly happy B student.

Discovering Dustbringer ideals via Spensa(Starsight Spoilers!)

It can be but it can also be loyalty to an ideal. Also this is an argument about weather or not she is obedient. I am saying she is not. Why not? In this case function following form makes way more sense considering we are talking about ideals. -
Discovering Dustbringer ideals via Spensa(Starsight Spoilers!)
Karger replied to Karger's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think I already did post on Windrunners somewhere and that you and I had different ideas of where it goes. My standard radiant pastern theory indicates oath four is about trust as apposed to forgiveness. It could also be neither or both. It is just a theory of course. PS I intend to do Truthwatcher after Willshaper. -
I was not aware I was on this thread at all.

Welcome!

That is an effective and real world copping mechanism. It is also a fairly common one. For example when I got a bad grade on a test my natural inclination was not to look at that test but instead hide it away in the back of a folder with the vague promise to look at it "latter." She will never learn from her experiences until she can confront them. That is a natural part of her character arc. That scene is KA! Shallan defeating a demon by going mean girls on it was amazing! But think how much less anxiety we would all feel. Well yeah, he is the main character! Really? The ghoostbloods and the hunt for the oathgate do not interest you at all? You do not find Pattern adorable?

We were clearly separated at birth!

I think this is a reference to the fact that the outer defense platforms the "skin" of the planet is steadily "decomposing" to form the new planet.
-
Well assuming you want to know what Mistborn era four is like...

I feel no real discomfit in 40 degree weather assuming no humidity or wind chill, I can also wiggle my ears and waste impressive amounts of time.

I thought it was just going to be Vin. I did not see Saze coming.

Having your fundamental wold view changed does not apparently both you but it is a huge concern for me. Why? He recognizes that the current system is not stable and wants to improve it to make it arguably more stable.
-
We know they can which is why I have not ruled them out as a possibility. My point is that him faking his death was clearly planed carefully. Going into this the Ones would not know how the people they are trying to fool are going to react. Risking the life of a valued member of your team(likely even more valued if scadrain) who might give away your plans if anything goes wrong is something a planer would work extremely hard to avoid. As such I think regardless of their origin I think getting an advanced lifeless or bloodsealed individual is smarter and as such more likely.

I said change the outlook. I never said restrict. I was pointing to how (at least I think) his behavior changed after eating lerasium. As to him wanting to change the entire system he realized quite rationally that TLR's ideas of how to run things needlessly perpetuated cruelty and injustice without solving underlining problems.
-
Even before holding the shard Also this might just be me but Elend seem much more determined to keep everything together after he eats lerasium.
-
Vathi says he "choked while eating" and that the emissary was "sent to work with them." To me at least this implies that the emissary showed up talked for a while choked during his meal and died. Vathi also says that this experience and knowledge "changed how she viewed them" which implies direct knowledge or a firsthand account.

Also tapping makes you hungry.
