Shard of Reading

I reread cytonic right before Defiant came out so, I remembered the shenanigans with Chet. As a whole I would rate Defiant at about an 8/10. It was really good, but not absolutely perfect. 
First the good things. I like how it ended and everyone seemed to be in a place that worked for them. Also the slugs deciding when to let everyone off of their planet was just so satisfying. I also really enjoyed spensa’s growth throughout the book, although I do think she switched from thinking “Im a weapon it doesn’t matter how I feel” to “yeah it’s fine to hang out with my friends and relax” a bit abruptly. 
And as with all Sanderson books the climax was really good. I didn’t see the twist with Brade coming, although in retrospect it makes sense. And Gran-Gran’s speech was really scudding awesome. And while I don’t like the fact that the fight with brass was cut off, I understand why Sanderson did it.  I also think the ending did a good job tying everything major up, but leaving some strings hanging for the next series. On that note, does anyone know if those will be full length books, or more around the length of skyward flight novellas?

Also, M-Bot thinks of himself as Mushroom-Bot. That’s hilarious. 

…so I’m bored and don’t want to go to bed, and somehow my brain was like, “go forth to TLPW cuz why not”

I am now the winner. (For approximately the next 43 minutes)(I know how this thread works)

Not sure if "chouta" being from "Roshar" counts as moving this from "Mistborn only" to the "Cosmere spoilers" sub-sub-section of TLM dsicussion, LOL

That thought did go through my head as I was posting this. I thought it wouldn’t spoil any of Stormlight so I decided it would be fine. 

When the first thing you do this morning is go and buy the e-book of TLM. 

Any theories on where chouta was invented? This is incredibly important discussion. I need to know if the scadrains invented it and if it moved to Roshar or vice versa. 
Also, I would love it if chouta became something of a running gag, where someone comments how it looks disgusting and everyone else extols its virtues. 

Wayne is officially the most awesome character in the cosmere. I will die on this hill. 
That is all that I need to say. 
(Also, ghostbloods!!!!! And aether!!!!!! And chouta!!!!!)

I watched this show with my family’s it was coming out, and while it’s been awhile. But I can say that this show is freaking amazing. The whole main cast’s growth is just so good. Also PASSPATOOOOOOOOOO (Sue me. I love that name)

I know nothing about Kerbal, but I do have a funny XKCD. So there.

Blast, you're right. 

Ah, man, and I thought I had a good crack theory, too. 

Do not worry, crack theories need not worry about petty things such as counter arguments.

Ah well. You'll still have a ton of fun.

Tell us what you think when you finish! (Or even before then.)

TPBM is somewhere far away in their mind.

Yup
TPMB spends their time day dreaming ridiculous scenarios involving most of the books they’ve read recently and multiverse 

Edit: scudding ninjas. 
(In case you were wondering, yes. Currently doing that with my rabbit)

On a scale of 14 blue frogs to 7 pink snakes I would rate them as a solid 34 purple rhinos. 

…how weird does your family think you are?

TPBM still can’t believe that they’ve already been in school for 2 days

It was actually solidly OK because fist week of school and all, but positivity helps. 8.5/10

Yup. It can get pretty confusing when you’ve got a 5 way conversation going though. 

…and maybe reading SMBC as well. On that note have a comic

Something random, well not exactly, I do in fact have a fat black cat. And now the win is mine, for promptly about five seconds.

Correct. I’ve got Nothing better to do. 

Would now be a good time to tell you that when I sneeze I set off an explosion at least as large as your mother?

When you realized you put a death threat and a your mom joke into one statement

Curses! Cats! My only weakness! (Seriously though. How did you know I’m allergic to cats? I don’t think I’ve been active enough lately for people to know about that. Or maybe you did something random that just happened to be what I was allergic to. What was it?) 

In case you didn’t notice while you were distracted by the monologue I stole back the win. 

I’m afraid I can’t let you do that good sir. *Takes back the win*

TLT is not allowed and as such you are having your win revoked

He already did that...

Oh I know, that was the joke

Listen, if you do that again, I’m going to fake ping chaos on you. So be afraid. (And also try to put at least 5 seconds into an original post.)

Also, *wins*
…Did I return to TLPWs with a lecture? Yes, yes I did. Holy cow I feel old. (HAHAHA Junior baby!)
