The 10 orders doing homework

Windrunner: Does homework on time, fulfills the minimum requirements. Reminds everyone else to study and lets anyone work with them during class.

Skybreaker: Shows work on every problem, cannot even fathom the idea of copying, lectures everyone on the long-term effects of cheating and plagiarism.

Dustbringer: Their assignments can usually be found crumpled at the bottom of their backpack, but they're creative about finding other places (like the washing machine or a bonfire).

Edgedancer: Does homework on the car ride to their sport practice. Uses sticky notes to remember what to do. Occasionally shares answers and provides emotional support.

Truthwatcher: Prefers to work alone, likes to finish homework in class. Sometimes has panic/anxiety attacks the night before a test.

Lightweaver: Doodles during the class notes, procrastinates, and uses Google to "check" their answers. They like to compare work with someone else, mostly the Willshaper.

Elsecaller: Studies obsessively, overthinks every question, creates cheat sheets. When pressed for answers, they only give hints.

Willshaper: Listens to music when they do decide to start. The rest of the time they procrastinate and try to compare answers, usually with the Lightweaver.

Stoneward: Always does homework in a certain order, keeps a calendar, submits all assignments on time. They guard their answers like the last (spike-free, obviously) cookie.

Bondsmith: Helps others when done with their own homework, prefers not to work alone and asks the other orders to join their study group. They do not approve of cheating, but try to avoid arguments.

Thank you, both of you!

This might be a stupid question, but I couldn't find it in the Coppermind or Arcanum. In the prologue of AoL, how did Paalm leave Lessie's bones after she "died" without being noticed? Did Harmony have something to do with it?

Second favorite Aon?

Favorite shape?

Do you say GIF or JIF?

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

Favorite section in a grocery store?

Which part of the day are you most productive in?

How long have you been on the Shard?

Rereading Well of Ascension and Hero of Ages.

Sure! *High fives Ene*

My Talent is being absolutely unable to navigate anywhere. Seriously. I don't even know how to get to the grocery store.

I also have the ability to pronounce any word I learn from a book completely wrong.

YKYAS when you shamelessly advertise the Stormlight Archive (yes, this actually happened):

Great question! Personally, I don't think Rock can see Shardblades as dead spren, but that could be a factor in why he is a chef, not a warrior.

Kaladin: Joins army to protect Tien

Also Kaladin:

The glyphs are read symmetrically from left to right as a single symbol. The symbol is a word. They symbols aren’t separated into letters. You then would stylize the general shape into the noun.

Oops.

how did you find those? 

I must learn those

 

Here's the pictures I used. The English letters on the script image look pretty similar, so double-check you're writing the right shape!

You know you're a Sanderfan when you write your name in Alethi script and glyphs (sorry for bad quality).

David and Wax. Both have strong senses of justice that border on obsession, are ACTUALLY obsessed with guns (and very, very skilled at using them);

  Reveal hidden contents

have fought their lovers on opposite sides in a conflict (and have had them die in their arms), practically become gods at the end of their third books, if only for a bit, after facing the closest thing to god in their respective series;

they annoy their superiors with their success and recklessness, and most importantly HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH BRANDON WRITING THEIR SEQUELS (*cries in The Lost Metal and The Apocalypse Guard*)

Definitely agree!

You know you're a Sanderfan when you see a book called The Blackthorn Key by an author with the last name of Sands, and immediately get suspicious.

I was wondering if anyone else made that connection! Have you read it?

When you say "I am offend! You will apology with boots!" to your barefoot sister.

When you think your car's windshield in winter looks like the Shattered Plains.

When your NitroType name is Ryshadium.

When you create a deeply troubling Cosmere-themed Christmas carol (WoK spoilers):

I had a dream that I found a stick that was actually the key to my neighbor's door...?

David Charleston and Mat Cauthon are surprisingly similar. They both have a sense of humor and tend to be impulsive and reckless. Anyone else have Sanderson character comparisons (any book)?

Nightblood is similar to Jack (aka Sumarbrandar) from Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Both are slightly annoying, but skilled and eager. So I  think it would make sense that Nightblood sounds like an angsty, but refined teenager.

Perfect!

True.

Not trying to start an argument, just voicing my opinion on David. I don't like his bold and impulsive attitude, but my main problem is with his character. He seems more like a machine than a human at times. The metaphors were a great addition to his personality, but I can't help but feel that there's something missing from his character.
