The Well of Ascension?
-
Thank you for sharing, which really surprises me because I wouldn't have shared such personal details in these circumstances. But yeah, I had much of the them same experiences but with an added tag which is even more heavier in my part of the world. I hope I didn't push you away from speaking up.

@king of nowhere It's okay, well not really, you really did hurt me there, hard. But I'm trying to look at this thread with a fresh perspective, a lot of the things you said still aren't okay. *sigh* Some of the things you said in the beginning were nice but then you got angry and defensive and deviated. But maybe you are trying I guess. I understand the part about associating so much with a movement that anyone who points out a fault within that movement is targeting you. I've had the misfortune of understanding that perspective from both sides. And yeah, we do get butt-hurt fast. I'll try to explain why... when there's a very real possibility that you're looking at an entire lifetime, alone in more ways than one, isolated. There's always an undercurrent of worry when you're with your friends, don't let them know. You get wound up. You try to find a safe space, that isn't always there. Then you find it and other people are there, all of a sudden you have a support structure. Then you start noticing some undercurrents, and everyone starts to look more bad, even the ones who really were looking out for you. Like, yeah, I've decided to treat you like a normal human being, isn't that great? Doesn't that make me a great person? And so the spiral begins. This is of course assuming the person isn't in a super religious intolerant community and without any overt discrimination so you don't think I'm trying to guilt trip you I hope you understand. Thank you for the apology and sorry that this is the most I can extend as an olive branch. I'm not comfortable that the hate LGBT people have to face is being compared with irritating campaigning @Elsecaller_17.5 Thanks for the apology DM. But I'm afraid I still stand by what I said. I can't quite make myself get over the fact that your first and immediate response was a "tone it down bud" without even seeing what it was that made me angry, not even the slightest hint of a benefit of the doubt. You kind of put me on the opposition bench the moment I created the thread and got defensive, reacting as though I was attacking Sanderson and then you. I don't think you really tried to see what I was trying to convey on the thread, just tried to do exactly what you said, moderate.

Ooh, that's a neat concept. If I recall correctly, the alloys could be burned even if they had incorrect ratio of metals, it was just difficult. And I rather liked the idea (and homage to era 1) of the Hazekiller rounds, using ceramics against steel and iron, and noise against tin, recognizing that aluminium would be recognizable to Allomancers. I'm not sure about the viability of the alternative idea here, but Ranette's approach wasn't bad, I don't think

A lot of your comments, intentionally or otherwise, are rather... hurtful This is a reminder that you're not just expressing your discontent against certain issues but also hurting a certain subsection of people who are so often maligned. Plus, nowadays people seem to really be against any form of activism. They cite sympathetic exhaustion, and I understand that or at least try to, to some degree. But there are so many people still suffering from what they say they're tired of fighting against. It's okay, that some people are tired of the fighting but don't bash or ignore those who still are I understand that I seem petty to you. But I've already told you that your last contents hurt me deeply and yet... You seem far more petty to me

Ah, good old King of Nowhere fighting against the gay agenda! Give yourself an applause! Why do you feel so attacked by us asking for some representation? Me and many others have tried to explain why exactly people feel disincluded and glossed over, and why that feels bad. Minorities aren't check boxes to tick to begin with. We are people. Since you've taken the liberty to point it out, I assume you have noticed that most fiction are more likely to include certain types of characters, while putting certain others on the fringe? Why would people lobbying to see themselves reflected in what they read offend you? And Look at what I underlined and said: No one's asking for that? I never asked for any existing character's orientation to be changed. That was it.

@Daneil/@Dawnbreaker, you might want to talk to the mods about that. If something happened to your previous account they might be amenable to you creating a second account as long as the first one is taken down. I think the issue you are facing here is one of post count. There are certain restrictions on new members until they reach a certain post count, it's to prevent spammers. If something more happened to your previous profile, like getting issued a Warning Point, go send a DM to a mod or create a topic in the 17th Shard Discussion forum where they handle these issues -
Aligns with the Intent of a Shard, has military significance, pivotal in a Desolation level event but not Urithiru or Elantris... Kredik Shaw?

@twenty second of the sun, you can join the two double posts by clicking edit on one of them and copy-paste, then hide the now-empty one A lot of the time the criticism doesn't come from people who want better representation or even better foreshadowing but simply didn't want a certain character to be gay (kind of like the opposite of what shippers do, basically). They just hide that under the banner of wanting better representation, sometimes it's blatantly obvious, like with most of the Dumbledore/JK Rowling memes. Originally the complaint was that Dumbledore being gay was simply an FYI by Rowling and not actually something put into the books, now it's turned into people complaining about their favourite childhood characters being turned gay. And agreed, some people are just gay, some characters also should just be gay, without it needing to be an integral part of the plot. "what does so and so being gay add to the plot?" is a stupid question. Though of course we would want a gay character to have that part of themselves not just be a background element of their character and see it in their character development and interactions. There's an overestimation of the number of authors who'd be willing to put in the effort and an idea that a character being gay is like hitting option two, while straight is the default option and hence such a choice requires justification

Sanderson has ruined other fantasy books for a lot of us

Alethkar? or the Vorin nations as a whole

The Orders are based on the Honorblades, to be exact and yes, historically the Bondsmiths didn't have Blades but in OB we see Dalinar forcing the Stormfather into Shardblade form to open the Vedenar Oathgate. The statement could very well be a historical truth, not a law

There is Vyre's knife. It had a gem at its pommel, it sounds like a fabrial

Honorless replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Ouch, that has to be a record. Has anyone else ever gotten it with one clue before? If not then wow this is embarrassing... I probably should've pretended otherwise dammit! Anyways, congrats @FantasyFanitic! Your turn to give the clues again. Or if someone else has an idea, go for it! -
A place that aligns with the Intent of a Shard, but not Elantris or Urithiru.... Hmm... The Court of Gods?
-
Then perhaps it's only the Godspren that can create a Bondsmith, which the Unmade qualify as but on the other hand, there are nine Unmade because they're missing a Bondsmith analogue I do acknowledge that, the point I'm raising is that there shouldn't be any Realmatic mechanical reason why certain Orders wouldn't have had Squires, except maybe a thematic one
-
Perhaps spren on the level of Cusicesh the Protector, the Storm Striders or Storm Walkers (whatever they may be), the Caretaker of Laughter, Smolderbrand, etc also allow something similar. There's no shortage of one-of-a-kind spren on Roshar, and one can bind spren other than the ten Nahel Bond capable ones, as we see the native life of Roshar frequently do and confirmed by by Brandon. Why doing so might be considered seditious (rather than treasonous)..... In theory all Orders should be able to have Squires, as there the Bond is between the Knight and the Squires, a single Knight should be able to have multiple Squires, that shouldn't have been limited by the number of Bondsmith spren but apparently some Orders didn't have squires, we don't understand why, so we can't really say which Orders would have them and which one wouldn't, that would just be arbitrary speculation.

Well, that should make the fight with HemalurgicStickBreaker easier for you

You must've annoyed RShara a lot, lol, well done!

@Booknerd, what's the story behind your sig?

why not? We're supposed to eliminate options by asking questions and removing the selected choice, right?
