    Oh nooooooo! I have failed in my quest for vagueness! How could I do such a thing!

    Ok I’m officially joining because of RoW. Not cool moash, not cool.

    Oh wait I was going to say that I’m glad the argument is over because the mods are not happy when arguments break out, but I just noticed one of the arguers IS a mod. Huh.

    It’s interesting how humans do that. Generally us beings default to thinking that others are not part of our group, which ends up not being too great.

    Yeah, I see where some issues can stem. I do relate to some of the stuff, but yeah, some might not relate, which is fine. I mean, I associate with it, but I get what you mean generally A bit of a generalization, but yeah, most feel that. Personally, my body is kind of a burden. Being a shapeless void wearing a hoodie would be my ideal form, but I can’t have that, so here I am. Could you elaborate on that one? I bets it’s a fact, but my brain can’t quite compute what it is supposed to fully mean with that wording. you get what I mean, but I dunno if you get what kingsdaughter means. I think she’s saying that her symptoms aren’t quite what trans peeps feel, and it could in fact be a bad idea to say the two are the same. Oh I want to get into that! But maybe in private message chats. That titling doesn’t quite hit as hard as “lift, the trans icon,” but yeah. Icon in this case has lost its meaning a tad. In this case, it doesn’t quite mean a role model or somethin, just someone to relate to. I might be stretching the word a tad, but that’s what I meant. Yeah, I dunno what the title could be. This title hits right on the emotional level, but does not quite compute on the logical level.

    So you make someone else accept an oath that will be a very silly burden on them in an unexpected way. (also don’t double or triple post. Mods aren’t happy about it.)

    Gotta love reading spern.

    I’m so happy to see kaladin tackle mental illness and advance the medical field in the shattered plains. He seemed to have finally found his purpose. I really hope that he can continue on that path, even after he got over his battle trauma.

    Ok, so lift is not trans, so far as I can tell. But her nightwatcher wish portrayed the feeling of physical dysphoria very well. Not wanting the body to change is pretty much what physical dysphoria is. I related with lift so hard on that part. Did anyone else relate?

    Ok! Sorry I’ve been off the shard for a while. I’m checking in now. If you were to invent a new spren, which spren would you invent (and why)?

    Piano is great. Chords make good sounds.

    So while I do agree with you, I do think Kelsier can change. He can be broken like the heralds, or can just go through a drastic change as he realizes the world is not as he thought. I also think he could be like Taravangian. Kill the few to save the many. Now I have my own issues with the idea. I see all the similarities, but Kelsier is NOT a leader of an organization type. He gathers a small group of friends or does amazing things alone, then gathers a group of followers to worship him. We saw this in both era 1 and 2, and I have a feeling that will not change as his morals change.

    OhhoHO I didn’t think this thread would return (and in season too!) you just need to reread all the posts if you didn’t already. The topic’s been brought up, and has been talked about. We don’t want to upset the mods, so we gotta be civil if we are going to restart this discussion (which I don’t NECESSARILY advise, given that I think all the points that can be made have been made). Since I like to inform humans (Even though this is my opinion, not actuall fact. That stance doesn’t quite apply here does it?), I will say it is all about representation. minority groups need more representation in any media more than is statistical. It’s all because of the role model thing. Obviously someone that is gay can have a non-homosexual role model, but it is easier as humans to have a model that has the same problems that you need to overcome. That is why you need some more LGBT characters-as role models. For example, Captain Jack Harkness from Doctor Who. He doesn’t necessarily NEED to be omnisexual, but he is, and he is a BOSS. He is a role model to the flamboyant gays all around the whoniverse. So the more LGBT characters, the better. Even a small thing, like in dawnshard, was fantastic. He has added some LGBTQ in the past and plans to add more. He is doing amazing currently. Dawnshard and RoW had some WONDERFUL stuff that I could relate to and made me smile. And both times were flawlessly done, not making you feel like it was shoved down your throat or pushing an agenda., which is important for some. So basically, Brando Sando is doing just fine and is doing it well, while still staying within the whole statistics thing.

    I still can’t get over the fact that whimsy is an actual intent for a shard. Highlight of the book.
  16. Koloss17
    I was really surprised by the book. It was really fun to read! Obviously I knew that, but some stuff was a bit of a surprise. Sazed was in the pre-chapter texts? There is a shard of WHIMSY??? The sibling being a mix of cultivation and honor? Navani figuring out inverse light? The fact that the three types of lights behave like sounds, which are a type of wave, potentially allowing a lightweaver to manipulate them? Navani becoming the second bondsmith? Those things were surprising. I legitimately teared up when Kaladin spoke the fourth ideal. It was wonderful. also I love that there was a lot of depth in the way of mental illness. Nice messages, variety of viewpoints, giving people that have such illnesses role models. That’s the good stuff right there. Also moash has officially gone too far. TEFTY WEFTY IS GONE AND I AM SAD. There is also the whole thing with the deadeyes, which I am excited about. Maya coming back from the dead will be exciting. Also shallan’s spren was a surprise. Just when I thought we had all the secrets out of a lightweaver, there is more. How the heck will two shardblades work anyway? I also like the trans inclusion, intentional or not. The sibling being non-binary and a boss is great. They would be a grand voidsona indeed. There is also lift, which somehow portrays physical dysphoria perfectly. I resonated with the feeling of not wanting to change. That was wonderful. sadly I got spoiled by the coppermind with the whole Taravangian reveal, so I can’t comment on that much. I will say that it is clear that the cosmere is far from safe from Odium because of a change of vessel. Now, I was confused with the whole Wit epilogue. What happened there?
  17. Koloss17
    I’m so sad that I did see it coming. I got spoiled by the coppermind. I wanted to remember the name of the vessel that held Odium, but there the name Taravangian was, instead of Rayse. Storm it!

    If you were to destroy any aspect of one magic system and replace it with another aspect of a different magic system in any of Brando Sando’s works, what would make the most interesting results?
