Boy, I have to say, I would *LOVE* a Wit/Jasnah fling. Just for funsies. I don't think Brandon has the "casual fling without any strings attached" in him though. Jasnah, as pragmatic as she is, surely would if she had the inclination and felt safe enough to engage, but my guess is that there's no actual relationship between them save information sharing and ally ship. But I'm having fun imagining this one. So much wit. So much snark. 

U know that's literally the first thought I had when navani mentioned rumors. Thst they have a FwB relationship. Hopefully Brandon will either say they are just friends or leave it ambiguous .

Well, I dare say I like the mink. And something tells me that so will Dalinar. 
There are rumours about Jasnah and Wit! Raised eyebrows. I want Jasnadin not jasnit. 
 

 

Yes he wasn't passive aggressive this time. I think he will be great.

And yes. Jasnadin is the only way. If they are dating , they better break up soon.

3) Mink's hyper paranoid reaction reminded me of Vin a bit

6) Ishar's forces are behind enemy lines, who are sandwiched between him & the coalition over in Emul. I think this might be where the Skybreakers who joined Odium under Nale's guidance strike. Nale still listens to Ishar.

Oh yeah vin would have probably Pushed a Storm of coins at the illusion before jumping out the window. 

Oh yeah. I had never taught about how nale would react to Odium trying to kill ishar but now it seems ishar is on Odium's side too. Hmmm but we don't know for sure yet. 

Whether he really is with Odium now.  Maybe odium just hasn't attacked him cause nale loves him and he doesn't wanna lose the skybreakers. 

Or maybe he just doesn't care about ishar anymore.

I double upvoted again!

well,

@PrinceGenocide I haven't seen you in a while where you been?

Hmmm . It's a bit strange to explain. Well I guess I kinda have 2 memes. 

Rosharan new age religion era 3. 

Plan to resurrect Adonalsium

Also thanks frustration. 

Finally Sadboi hours are back  !!!!! . Szeth is in 

1). What the ....they sank Nergaoul in the ocean!!!!!!!!

Dude u had nightblood , he could have finished the Unmade once and forever. 

Of course I guess they don't know it's true strenght and perhaps were afraid of freeing it by breaking open its prison. 

2).Still sinking it in the sea doesn't seem too wise to me. Not against a Shard. Although perhaps cultivation could take care of it. Hmmmm

3). Jeez navani . Don't treat him as such . He even technically did u favor by murdering gavilar. I mean sure he tried to dalinar too .. twice but still he's been through enough and was instrumental in the victory at thaylenah . 

4).

Quote

Szeth sighed softly. “He did not speak of the sphere. He was dying; he could barely force out his last words. I am not certain they are prophetic, as the voices of the dying sometimes are in my land. 

So it seems Moelach resided in shinovar as well. Hmmm , I wonder ,the Unmade don't require stormlight and as such , if moelach could reside there , which other Unmade could.  Could they be responsible for the cruelty of the Shamanate ?

Also I'm surprised szeth didn't make the connection with the death rattles he heard when he met taravangian in WoK. 

And that he is not aware of similar prophetic dreams across Roshar. 

Hey , has he not told dalinar and co that taravangian was killing ppl for death rattles , cause they didn't ask him. 

5). 

Quote

There were even a few Aimians, remnants of the humans who had escaped Aimia, the men with their beards bound in cords

Ah they also were in shallan's first pov when she comes to port in WoK. She doesn't recognise them as Aimians tho and yeah like @Honorless said it makes sense that humans would have lived in Aimia too. 

6). 

Quote

The child was still far too small for his age, and the doctors weren’t certain if something strange had been done to him during his time in Kholinar

Chekhovs gun ??? I mean Aesudan would have wanted her son to be strong . Unlike Elhokar as she would put it. 

7).

Quote

Another of the engineers came over and accepted the sphere and loupe, whistling softly. “I have a higher magnification in my bag over there,” she said

Coming from the patriarchal world of ours , I automatically assume it's a male when someone is referred to as an engineer. Hopefully both Roshar and Earth will continue on the path to gender egalitarianism. 

8).

But it feels painful. Voidlight is dangerously inviting, like if I touched it, my body would drink it in eagerly.

Voidlight is highly attractive to the Parsh !!!! Even Rlain who hates Odium but not to humans. Strange. Does he feel feel similarly about Stormlight ?

Is it just cause he has a gemheart or is there something more nefarious about it ?

Would a radiant feel the same ?

Also it doesn't make sense. Why is voidlight more efficient to storage and use ? 

I mean , shouldn't stormlight be better seeing honor and cultivation both have contributed a lot to Roshar compared to Odium. 

Is it just a random thing or is there some reason behind it ?

9). Why don't they use the term "voidbringers " any more. I mean singers refers only to the Parsh. Not the skybreakers or common Soldiers from Iri. 

If it does ,then again Voidbringers is just as good a title. 

10). Oh man Jasnah is gonna be onscreen next week. Yayyy

@Use the Falchion thanks for the info. I Didn't know he planned to write elantris and era 2 alternatively. 

Strange that he has left Elantris untouched for so long tho.

Also man I gotta wait till 2024 for the Mistborn serial killer. Ooof

Kaladin said that may be we can get the fused to abandon odium, convince them to give up war and live with them sharing this world! 

Very idealistic but wonder which fused lady gave kaladin the idea!! 

And Kal asks zahel “how he gave up the sword” so they know.... interesting. 
 

Ooooooo that would be a cool thing. Leshwi also seems to be ready to betray Odium if she gets to know he intends to destroy Roshar to win. She , kal and Venli could work some alliance out . 

I don't think kal knows about Nightblood and Zahel. More probably he meant it like ' how did u transition to being an ardent from a soldier '.

I actually forgot what they were called, aye fabrial circuitry!

I have to say that wasn't a philosophical dilemma I was expecting with Cognitive Shadows at all (aside from Shades, now that I think about it) only with Ashravan

Brandon did get colourful with Wayne and there was... uhm "Nale's nuts" quite recently

Ooooooo fabrial circuitry. Noice name. 

Yeah I thought thier souls never left to the Beyond. 

Heyyyyyyyyy , secret history spoilers

Yeah but Wayne never actually uses real swearwords. 

It's diluted and uses a whole lot of euphemisms. 

Nale's nuts comes close tho yeah . 

But the A word has this intensity ya know ?

Oh. So basically tLM will end up being like the sequel to rithmatist and nightblood; we will never get it! How many times has it been delayed now?

Nah. We will get it. I mean Mistborn alongside stormlight are the twin pillars of the cosmere . Sando says elantris is just as important but idk.

Wait I thought it was 2021? What changed?

Skyward 3 got moved ahead

Yay Zahel!

Kinda sad that we didn't get any more color related sayings like red on his ears.

Yeah I miss those too

Wait so logicspren are basically analogues to semiconductors  right ? 

I think that's what the epithet is implying. 

Yo yo. The clothing , they were just laundered. And he's ripping them apart. Wow . That galls me for some reason

Woah , omg , so they are copies. Perfect copies. Not the initial souls. 

Huh like Whole Brain Emulations , theoretical copies of brains run on computers which have the same exact personalities and memories as the human being emulated  , which can hypothetically let humans achieve immortality and super intelligence and a few other things. 

Woah . He's using real world sci fi and science analogues for Magic. 

My respect for Sanderson as an author has increased so much. 

So Zahel seems to be a living case of the ' Ship of Theseus ' paradox .

I would say that a being is a pattern of information set in neurons in real life or in Investiture in the cosmere , so Zahel is really the real Vasher . 

I mean if u make a perfect copy it's no longer a copy but rather another original. 

Also I know I'm no one compared to most everyone,  let alone Brandon Sanderson himself. 

But I can't help feeling proud that he actually used a real swear word.

This is more interesting/depthful than it might seem at first glance

Storing health makes you sick... but the 5th heightening prevents that.

So you can just store health when you're relaxing at HUGE rates that would normally make people miserable, and then tap your enormous reserves to heal the physical injuries that the 5th heightening can't manage on its own.

Holy u don't even need compounding for that then. It wouldn't make you as resilient as miles but heck I don't really plan on living a dangerous life. 

Noice

You deserve an upvote, but I’m all out... You put my feelings into words for me. Mistborn is home.

Yay. So I'm not the only one who's upset that we will have to wait till 2022 for book 4 . Feels nice to not be alone 

Well.

Brass : As a guy from India , let me tell  u I wouldn't mind having to store all that excess ambient summer heat 

______

Copper : The best according to me. Store Traumatic memories. Throw it away. 

Store the memory of any great book u read. Read it now as if it is the first time you are reading it. I wouldn't mind trying this trick to reread the ending of HoA. 

Then u can tap the first reads back. 

Works with other media too. Might work for maintaining romance too. Although it would require far more detailed and subtle storing away of memories. 

Also no need to fear spoilers !!!!!! 

_____

Bendalloy : well , staying thin has never been easier. Also u could become super skinny as a disguise or to fit in small cramped places. 

____

Chromium : enter into the Guinness world records as the unluckily man alive. Lol

_____

Zinc : cure for anxiety. Might also help a lot in meditation. 

____

Iron : literally jump on someone to hug them without breaking thier bones. ❤️❤️

Jump from 2-3 floors up to impress ppl . 

_____

Tin : use it to eat healthy but terrible tasting foods. 

_____

Bronze : sleep at command. 

_____

Electrum : use it whenever u r feeling like you are gonna make a decision you will regret. Whether it be that extra helping of icecream or a tattoo . 

___

Duralumin : read a book in peace without anyone interrupting u.

I’ve managed to switch in my head how all the characters’ names sound... and now I can’t turn it off, which is annoying because Brandon pronounces them ‘like an American would.’
 

I used to do it wrong though. And it took me forever to envision Kell with blond hair. I kept thinking it was dark...

Oop. Sorry for double posting. Yep my friend had the same problem with kel. 

I have the pronounciation problem with stormlight charecters esp. I'm from India so I say Kaladin like Indians and Arabs would say Aladdin. ' Khal-ah-dinh ' instead of ' kal-a-din '. 

Shallan I pronounce as ' Ssh-hal-hun 'rather than the American ' shal- an '. 

Jasnah I still pronounce with a J rather than Y. 

And Szeth I pronounce as ' Sa-zeth' ( much like Sazed ) rather than just ' zeth ' . 

Ati I pronounce as ' ah-ti '.

Aona as' Ah-o-na '. 

I like my pronounciations better tho. 

Also I read elhokar as elkohar. 

Ah @The Traveller had a similar experience. She didn't realise kelsier was blond. Sorry Trav :v

Me well I envisioned Sazed as being somewhat like a dark skinned English butler with like a army haircut . One with a lot of earrings and nose and lip piercings. 

I dressed him up in a butler suit  with that V pattern thing as a big cloth square with a hole in the middle for his head , wore such that u get u see a inverted triangle on ur chest and upper back . Kinda like mexican clothing. 

I still get a cognitive dissonance whenever I see fanart of him  or hear him described as a bald guy in a robe. 

I like my visual idea of Terrismen servents way better. 

@Use the Falchion I could not agree with you more. Esp the point about Antman missing up on his daughter growing up. I never thought about it like that. 

I loved era 2. Heck when I first got into AoL i expected wax and Wayne to be teenaged boy-girl rogue duo for some reason . 

The prologue was amazing but reading the second chapter really threw me off. Mistborn are mythical !!! The Koloss never show up !!!!! It really is a civilized society !!!! 

Like I expected grimdark and you get comedy and I was like what ?? Didn't touch it for a few weeks or so.

Then I did and really loved the comedy. Then u had miles step in and woah I was blown away by the new configurations of magic like twinborn and ferrings. And single metal compounders. Oooof. 

I went through the other two books quickly. The comedy was the best part. 

Although the other plot elements were sick too. 

I love era 1.5 just as much era 1 . Can't wait for book 4. But no we have RoW and Skyward 3 before that . 

I love stormlight and Skyward both but mistborn is most like home to me. 

I love immortality so Gold compounding of the Fifth Heightening . 

Also SteelDancing. Compounded steel with abrasion and progression

So as we know lerasium is a metal anyone can burnt by anyone turning them into super mistborn . 

So does they apply to non humans as well ?

Could Koloss or kandra become mistborn ? 

Could the Parshendi ? The Dysian Aimians or the other one. 

Also is it hard to take those beads offworld. Like due to the connection with preservation and Scadrial. 

Hoid managed it but maybe only by burning it. 

As an aside , would it have been harder for Elend to leave Scadrial compared to say Marasi ?

If that is possible then how is it that Hoid is the only one to steal it. 

We know that there most probably were 16 beads of Lerasium , so the fate of four beads  are still unknown. 

Shouldn't odium , autonomy, the Ire , my hypothesized Nalthian secret society or Cultivation  have tried or be trying to steal it too. Or have they already stolen it already???

Perhaps TLR had his hands full fighting away these would be Mistborn  for a millennia or so . Using Ruin as a guarddog as well. 

Also , suppose a kandra were to become mistborn. Would it's death be the end of the line ? Could hemalurgy be used on these Hemalurgic constructs ?

Koloss can have children so I guess they would inherit allomancy 

So would singers but what about Dysian Aimians ?

Like suppose the Dysian Aimians consumed one. 

Perhaps they would rather alloy it into 16 smaller pieces each granting a misting ability. 

So that some of the cremlings could riot or sooth someone to an extreme degree in alethkar while others would leech someone in aimia. 

Also what would happen if say a horse or a giraffe had consumed one. 

Could animals become mistborn too ???

Oooooooo what if a Chasmfiend were to consume one ??? 

I mean yeah I guess they would require metals and some amount of cognition but still ..... Could u use hemalurgy to steal from them ?

And could Spren consume them ? Is that possible in the cognitive realm. They use investiture to make children so perhaps they could throw a bead into the clay too. 

Perhaps most Spren couldn't do it , saturated with Honor , cultivation and Odium as they are but thise Soren which still mostly use the original ambient investiture of Roshar ?

If they were to bond to someone would the shared spiritweb lead to the surgebinder becoming a mistborn or Misting ???

Wait what's that ????

This is interesting. Like Iron Man 3, a human bomb. I know Wax does something like this, with is iron. He stores a whole bunch of weight, an then at one point he has to break through a floor, so he taps it all at once and just falls through. I wonder if you could suddenly kill yourself by doing something like this with atium. Store all your youthfulness at once and suddenly you're so old you're dead. It probably doesn't work like that.

U can't store all ur attribute. 90% at most I think. But yeah still might kill u

4 hours ago, CodeMnke said:

Quick question on that, I am trying to think back through the scenes .... have we seen Timbre outside the gemheart since the bonding at all? Now even if not that might just be because of the situation but would certainly be interesting if they were trapped 

Ah yeah. That could be possible. Although it could be that Venli and her are being cautious is all or that she needs to actively suppress the voidspren. 

Hmmm it would be interesting if singers couldn't manifest Shardblades

As I’ve been reading the preview chapters and seeing the powers of being radiant balanced with the “side effects” of being radiant I have been grateful that Adolin seems grounded in normalcy. I truly hope that he does not become radiant and does not have to deal with the negative side of holding those radiant powers. We need someone to helps out those radiants when they become depressed, or can’t remember who they are. 

Yeah . Exactly.
