Maybe, but generally twinborn resonances are much smaller than other resonances in the Cosmere. It’s certainly possible though!

That’s actually fantastic! You’re completely right!

Random Twinborn Combo Day 4: A-Copper and F-Duralumin (Hiding Allomantic signals and storing connection) Alright. So Allomantic copper prevents detection of Allomantic signals within a certain area (about room sized). It also prevents the burner from being affected by emotional Allomancy, which is certainly a plus. Quite nice to have someone that can do it, but kind of dull if you’re the one that has it. Now F-Duralumin is more interesting. Tapping it, with the right intent, can do any number of things. Become friends with people you never met, speak languages you never spoke, and maybe do a whole bunch of other things. Are there any relationships between the two? Ehhhh maybe. Perhaps you could manipulate connection to have the coppercloud bind to someone else, but I somewhat doubt it. Without that, are these two still a good combination? Probably. F-Duralumin can be really useful, and copper is better than nothing. Resonance: Maybe increased emotional fortitude? A bit of a stretch, but maybe. Name: actually, this is the first one that I’m at a loss on. I would appreciate some suggestions! Rating: better than your average ferring, but a worse combination than your average twinborn. 5/10.

….So are y’all still doing the whole offering thing?

Actually, I really dig this theory! It certainly makes sense to me! Ruin by their nature resists growing into something more, and so a lack of strong resonances totally fits.

Darn! You’re right! Well, guess it’s electrum then!

“Well, I suppose he could be useful. Feynah, eh? Well, welcome to the job, I suppose. Do you need a down-payment like Mr. Assassin over here?” Clotho was not afraid to use her money, but it was not an infinite resource. She didn’t make much in the way of money, after all. ”Well, for now, we have places to be. We’re looking for a Nicroburst. I’ll fill you in on some of the details as we head where he likely resides. And concerns you have? You’re not being hired for anything particularly dangerous, if that is a concern.” Clitho, realizing that hiring someone in the middle of a street is probably not the smartest thing to do, added “Unless you have places to be.” @Stormlightsong

Random Twinborn Day 3: A-Cadmium and F-Electrum (slowness bubbles and determination) Alright. A-cadmium is quite an interesting Allomantic ability, as it is seen as much less useful than A-Bendalloy. Cadmium creates large time bubbles that slow down time for those inside, which can be theoretically useful, but often ends up being a hindrance. We’ve seen in the books that it can be used to give time for backup to arrive, as well as being used to great effect when Ettmetal is added into the equation. I suppose it could be quite nice in daily life, if you have to wait for ages. But given that generally us humans have the problem of too much to do with too little time, maybe not. F-Electrum stores determination. It’s not necessarily as useful as something like F-steel, but it could still be good. Perseverance through a boring task, or through just a really focus intensive task can be quite handy. It seems a tad more helpful for an academic than a fighter, but it could come in handy. Storing it can be kind of rough though, as not feeling up to doing anything is rough even before it is being magically imposed on you. I’m honestly not sure if the upside of extra determination is worth the downside of a lack of determination. But maybe it could work out. Combine these two together, and what do you get? Someone that is really good at waiting, pretty much. Is there other uses? Yeah, but many of them are quite situational. Maybe there’s something that im missing, but as far is twinborn combos go, this one ain’t great. Resonance: This one, I don’t really know. Maybe heightened patience? Perhaps there’s something that would make storing determination not that bad. Name: Stoic. A pretty solid one, I’d I say so myself. Rating: not that great—4/10 What are you folks’ thoughts? Is there something big that I missed?

Wait-were you first? Or were they first?

Why is everyone interested in her behavior all of a sudden? She turned to Tysan. “Would this guy be useful to us?” She didn’t know what Tysan’s plans were after Nicrobursting, but she assumed he had some sort of a plan. She did admit that his abilities could be…useful. They seemed familiar to her somehow, though she couldn’t place her finger on why. They types of people you find in the Alleyverse can be quite…unique. @I think I am here.

“What is an old man doing in a place like this?” Clotho said, amused. “Besides, what is it to you why I’m here?” Pondering the trustworthiness of what she assumed to be a con, she added, “unless you can help find what we’re looking for, of course.”

Actually that’s a pretty good idea. Now I do still say what each does in my analysis portion, but your point still stands. Yeah, I certainly intended it to be a non-subtle emotional manipulation, but you are right that the wording is a hair misleading. Interesting catch! Yeah, it probably would.

Clotho gasped. That hurt. When she turned, an old man had run into her. Something’s not right. Looking closer, Clotho saw desperation in the old man’s eyes. Something was off about him, but she couldn’t put her finger on what. What looked to be crooks rounded the corner, and it clicked. This was a disguise of some sort. Would she humor the man? She decided it was worth the risk. ”Tysan, put down your knives. They’re not here for us.” Clotho looked to an alleyway. “I think your culprit ran off there,” she said to the thieves, groaning slightly. It was probably nothing serious, but it hurt like Ruin. Watching the fools run in the wrong direction, she turned to the disguise artist. “Now what is all this about?” @Stormlightsong

Random Twinborn Day 2: A-Brass and F-Zinc Alright, now we’re getting somewhere. These are two completely different things….almost. So Allomantic Brass allows you to soothe and dampen emotions. You don’t get to know how present those emotions are before you soothe them, but you could certainly guess. You can be quite subtle about it, manipulating actions and what they end up saying, so it is often quite nice in political settings. However, it can be utilized combat-wise, by strongly tugging on emotions, making your opponent slip up. Feruchemantic Zinc, on the other hand, stores mental speed. It can be great for pretty much any situation, whether it be academic, political, or combative. The only downside to it is that storing in any capacity can be quite detrimental, and generally makes you useless while storing. Put these two together, and what do you get? Well, I suppose you could be a masterful politician, manipulating people with tact and quick thinking. I mean, both are quite useful in many situations, so I’m sure that you would be quite a happy twinborn. Is there any unorthodox synergies between these two? Not really. But that isn’t particularly necessary, given the general usefulness of both abilities. Resonance: Honestly, I don’t really know. Perhaps being able to read others’ emotions more easily? Though I don’t really know the line between something that would naturally manifest from the abilities versus an unnatural resonance that manifests without practice. Name: How about…a Mastermind? Maybe a Silvertongue? Rating: solid 7.5 out of 10. No real special interactions between the two, but still certainly nice to have. Let me know your thoughts! Maybe there is a secret synergy that I missed. Or perhaps you have a better idea for a resonance/name!

Rolling her eyes, Clotho gave some money to the cab driver. She began walking away, with Tysan close behind. ”Gold doesn’t work like that, you know. I’m stuck with these two selves for the day, and while both of them are great at talking their way out of things, neither are masters of disguise.” On to the task at hand: finding a nicroburst that’s willing to help. Actually, she knew a nicroburst. Hopefully they’re still alive in this timeline. ”I know a place. He’s not particularly nice with outsiders, especially street nobodies, but a little talking and a few boxings can go a long way. He shouldn’t be far from here.”

Ngl I was about to have an existential crisis over Aspiring Writer reanimation

Maybe? But those are a tad more content creation sites than socials, but they could work.

100% correct on the pfp. Cryptic with Cosmere shouldering a Koloss sword in a mistcloak. Made by the amazing Aspiring Writer, rest her chaotic soul (not dead just not on the shard anymore).

Maybe Instagram too?

Well, I didn’t really see a thread here, and it’s becoming spring here in the states, so I thought that it would be a good time to make a thread. To preface, I am a mere bug lover, not a full on entomologist. I love, love, love bugs, and actually have some pet isopods! But I’m sure there’s more of us out there. Our tiny friends are terribly misunderstood and are insanely cute! I feel like this would be a great place to post pictures, facts, or just general babble about all things insects/arachnid/other tiny critters! If there’s interest, I can post some of my isopod pictures here ;).

Actually, I just realized that I can officially be let in here now! Woooooo!

Whell, I could, but then I would have to constantly feel remorse for the lack of F-Malatium. To avoid the tears, Malatium will not be included. I sincerely apologize to Alder and anyone else that was looking forward to the inclusion of Malatium twinborn.

I would, but we have no idea what F-malatium would do. If/when we do, you know I’ll be adding it to the list.
