Honestly, the thing that has surprised me the most about this post, aside from the one person that promptly voted for Moaladin, is that Kadolin is getting much more traction than Shakadolin. I would have thought that the polycule would have been much more popular than it is, but perhaps that’s my own bias showing a tad .

YOU MUST CHOOSE

Welcome to the shard @Grant04W! The Brando pipeline is strong. First you read one, then you can’t read anything else until you’ve read everything. Then you find the Coppermind, and it’s all downhill from there. Welcome to the Shard!

Weeeellll, if the polyamory isn’t doing it for y’all, I suppose I could add Kadolin…

So this is something that I have wondered recently, as I’ve been more active on the Shard. There’s quite a few here who change their profiles a lot, and quite a few others who just have one profile picture that they keep through the ages. There’s also the thing of changing profile picture for special events, such as the recent green pfps for stress awareness. This post will serve two purposes: one, to gather data on Sharders’ profile shifting habits (anonymously), and two, to ask a few more in-depth questions. One habit that I have found myself in is associating the Sharder with their profile picture. Now, this isn’t that surprising of a thing, but where it goes sideways is when communicating with Sharders that have the base picture. While it can just be someone that is literally a blank slate, as in a 12 post newbie on the Shard, it could also be someone like @cometaryorbit or @therunner, who are certainly not a blank slate in influence and reputation on the Shard. Is this a common experience? And for those that have a profile picture, what does it mean to you?

Hmmmmmm. I would say that Jasnah doesn’t love herself thaaaaat much, but that I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I headcannoned Jasnah as the closest she could get to emo in a royal society. She sure ain’t self-deprecating, but she has the “sick of the Almighty’s crem” feel down. Howrver, I could put Gavilar and Gavilar up there if ya want!

Hey, if ya want me to add it to the poll, I certainly can.

Y’all are playing a daaaangerous game with spoilers here. And I don’t mind the takeover, I really don’t. It’s fun to see all the banter, and I certainly think it can be useful to help get us closer to understanding all o these complexities. However, if you want to be taking up my thread space, which I am more than happy to give, I demand a price. Consider me a landlord of sorts, where rent must be paid to occupy their space. Or I suppose a land…Overlord. The contract shall be sent to you all shortly. Accept or reject, the terms will be set.

Where hath the almighty @Stormtide_Leviathan gone to? It seems like ages since I’ve seen em.

So to kick of Pride Month, I noticed that there was quite a few queer ships that appear in SA, and while teeeechnically there’s only one canon one, that can’t stop me from dreaming! So: what’s your favorite ship out there? My personal fave:

Perses turned to Cobalt and the others. “Well, we have creatures from damnation chasing us, and we just lost two members of the group. What do we do now?” Perses was beginning to feel the dread set in. A group of mismatched strangers, all trying to make their way through a shapeshifting room towards and object that no one actually knows what it looks like or what it does in a room than no one has been able to reach. All the while, being chased by unkillable creatures. To make things worse, they were now a split party. why did I decide to join in on this mess? @ZincAboutIt + everyone else

Welcome to the Shard! If anyone on here says that they haven’t don’t this approximately every other time they try to reference those books, they’re lying ! Anyway, time for the important newbie Sharder questions that might just shape your entire presence on the Shard. If you were to befriend one of Taldain’s sandlings, how would you manage it?
-
Wooooo it’s that time of year again! I get to be extra queer with little to no questions asked!!!

Honestly, I think that you, @Underwater_Worldhopper, and @therunner deserve your own thread that is literally just you guys bantering over how the entirety of the Cosmere’s inner workings function. I’m ready to see it get up to the highest page count of any thread on the Shard. I’m not saying this because I’m bitter that my threads are being hijacked—I’m just noticing a trend with y’all

OMG I LOVE YOUR PFP!!! Also if the June swag box isn’t just countless pictures of Renarin and Rlain holding hands, I’m going to be sad.

Back to one of my OG profile pics we go. It’s honestly one of my favorites, made by the wonderful @Scout_Fox, who has since long left the Shard.
And happy Pride Month y’all!

Honestly, it feels so weird to be back on the Shard after all this time. I used to be really active here for quite some time, and then everything kind of crashed down when Covid hit. Now I’m back, and all of my pals have kind of…vanished. I feel bigger than I ever was before, but I feel like I have so few real buds on the Shard.
I suppose I’m building a new face on the Shard, aren’t I? I’m almost beginning anew, in a way. It’s interesting, for sure.

Random Twinborn Combo Day 37: A-Copper and F-Aluminum Well isn’t this an interesting combo. A support metal with a we-don’t-know-what Feruchemical metal (Honestly, Feruchemical sounds ridiculous and rolls way worse off the tongue than Feruchemantic IMO). Could there be something interesting here? Certainly! …if we can figure out how the heck storing identity would work. We sorta know how other things can interact with it, but there ain’t much for what it really does. What would having less or more Identity even do? I have lovely theories on how it would affect A-Gold, for example, but I really don’t know what it could do on its own. Resonance: This would be a good one for the spike-holding resistance, honestly. Name: Truesoul sounds good, but seems like a mixture of Trueself and Firesoul. Rating: 6/10, but who knows! If Identity was less of a mystery to me, it might bump up that rating. …I know I did this resonance idea before, but I can’t seem to easily find it in the thread. Please tell me this isn’t the first accidental repeat combo?

Hey @Underwater_Worldhopper, be wary of spoilers for Sormlight. While it isn’t plot, I still think speaking of the shards on Roshar and their nature still fits under spoilers for it.
-
I agree with @alder24’s point on intent matters, and the scene with the BoM is pretty solid evidence. However, what of Elend within the WoA? He burned lerasium without knowing what it was, and then subconsciously burned pewter. Now, you can explain away the burned pewter with the whole “subconscious intent” thing that Brandon mentioned here. Could that apply to Elend burning Lerasium? Maybe?? But I feel that if that was the case, Wax should be able use the bands from subconscious intent.

Random Twinborn Combo Day 36: A-Bronze and F-Nicrosil Again, we don’t really know much about F-Nicrosil, but maybe it gives temporary metallic strength? Not sure. If it does, this combo could pierce copperclouds, which is something. But we don’t know for sure! Anyway, potentially interesting combo, but we don’t really know. Cant really determine name or resonance without knowing what half of the combo does, so yeh. 7/10 if it works the way @alder24 thinks it might, 6/10 if it doesn’t.
-
Destineye is the best name someone could think of! And I like the idea of reflexes! We gots ourselves a cohesive Twinborn!

Basically being unlucky would mean being more likely to run into bad people, getting into unfortunate situations, or running into more potholes than you really should. Tapping luck gets you in the right place at the right time, and so storing would be being in the wrong place at the wrong time. While tapping A-tin, you are more aware, more capable of noticing the unfortunate things before they happen. Ergo, compensating.

Well, I can’t be too upset, given the pact I made with them years ago. But I’ll keep trying to win you and the masses over, I assure you!
