  1. Granted, you can now speak to oranges I wish I was a Kung Fu master!
  2. That they were, so afraid not, mate Damn! That is the correct answer! (next clue was gonna be This place is associated with a particular colour, that being grey)
  3. Would it be possible to use Investiture to side-step pregnancy? I mean, Investiture can create life: not just Cognitive Entities like spren but also humans. That's how Preservation and Ruin did it on Scadrial. No boinking required (sorry, Comatose). Surely human beings are less Invested than spren? Surely it wouldn't take as much Investiture as Awakening Nightblood. If a Lifeless can be Awakened with a single Breath and a Drab have a little less spark than ordinary Cosmere folk then human beings probably aren't too Invested. We're impeding some Invested Arts but not that much. Assembling the body would require a bit more Investiture but it should be possible. Maybe the Nightwatcher has given people babies to people as Boons. Some Shard somewhere has to have thought "well, this is messy, here's something better!" and added something like this to their Invested Art "There you go girl, no 9 months of labour! There you go gay couples, your own baby!" I know there'll be social consequences from this but I don't think it'll be bad things unlike all those speculative sci-fi books. I don't think this would devalue women (also seriously, feminism? You of all people should not be saying that! People's worth isn't determined by their reproductive worth. In primeval nature, sure, but now? Def not, that's the whole point of development. Though there is something to be said about the whole process of motherhood being the part of their identity for a lot of women) So, is this plausible? Do you think we might see something like this in the Cosmere?
  4. Elantrian. It's a very versatile magic system, useful all around. I don't even mind living in an Elantris on Earth, though I'd prefer not to be on Sel, it wouldn't be unbearable to live there compared to other Shardworlds, like on Roshar (I like the stories but don't want to live there... maybe in a future era). Elantrians are powerful and if on Earth, it's not necessarily a combat type magic but I can still keep myself safe (Elantrians have regeneration, non-Reod ones that is). Hopefully no Reod like event happens but if it does, I already know how to go about it thanks to the book
  5. Granted but your dreams also always remember you, including the nightmares I wish for interstellar travel to be possible & economical during my lifetime
  6. Nope! 1) This is a major location in the setting of the story and yet nothing terrible happens in it during the course of the story, nor does anything notably terrible happen in its history that we know of 2) This place served as a place of exile
  7. Nice! 1) This is a major location in the setting of the story and yet nothing terrible happens in it during the course of the story, nor does anything notably terrible happen in its history that we know of
  8. That is why it's a popular theory! The Ire were not near Sel's subastral but Threnody's. The Ire mention something about "the powers of Threnody wanting to join the stage" and worried about Shades possibly reaching their fortress somehow
  9. Melishi, no wait Nohadon? No wait, the Elsecaller whose words were recorded in the first few zircon gemstones within the Urithiru gemstone archive?
  10. Jasnah? (with the Veristitalians being her research partners)
  11. Oh? Sounds to me like it is one of them is it Toa?
  12. Was that Cryptic doing the Naruto run? Omg Somebody gotta teach the Cryptics breakdancing in the modern era!
  13. Granted, you get a dog who's somehow also a crazy axe murderer I wish for the ability of complete biological manipulation of my own body
  14. Elantris or one of its three abandoned gateway cities
  15. @Jash, love that asoiaf breakdown, but you forgot Davos! He's also a very morally good character, struggling between moral good and lawful good. Seeing lawful good as the bigger good and the moral good as his own selfishness & ungratefulness towards Stannis. Catelyn is my favourite PoV character too! It's a shame she's so hated by the Asoiaf community for trusting Petyr (whom she grew up with) & her miscalculation with trading hostages (which I think it made sense from Westerosi cultural perspective). The only point against her is her neglect of Jon but again I can kind of understand where she's coming from there.

  16. I assumed so because of his Noble line and Vin's own potential, but no, I checked too and found nothing
