Suda21

I have always been under the impression a "Warrior" is someone who fights without needing to follow orders or rules of engagement. Whereas a "Soldier" is a warrior that follows orders and ethical code of conduct when it comes to fighting. 

We see that with Kaladin, someone who follows orders with fervor and does what he is told. 

The second I saw the flower design I realized how close it looked to the Ghostblood symbol. It is such a fitting touch and brings such a deeper meaning to logo. Especially since people gotta get it tattooed onto them. I am sure there is so much more meaning to it now. 

You are doing the Stormfathers work! I know how hard it is to read out loud. I used to read to my dog to help me work on fixing my speech impediment. It is not easy at all but your are so committed! I wish I had that drive! The paint you feel is both the pain of glory and also your throat giving out. 

I am so excited that we are getting Stormlight miniatures. I would love to get my hands on Mistborn minis as well. I would love to be able to make little diorama's.

Welcome to the Shard Suda! Your job sounds coooool. Stormlight is one of my favourites too but Mistborn will always have my heart 

I started with Mistborn and loved it to death. I just did my big Mistborn reread.

Welcome to the Shard! I'm excited to see some of your work someday, if you've done any Sanderson stuff  

I have done some Sanderson You Tube stuff. I would kill to do some Sanderson professional stuff.

Hello Suda, and welcome to the Shard! We're glad to have you here!

Thank you very much! That means so much to me! 

Hello everyone, 

My name is Suda! I have lurked on here for a while but never made a full introduction. I have been a huge fan of Brandon Sanderson's work for a very long time. When I am not delving into the Cosmere. I am working on feature films, short films and podcasts for a living. My favorite series is Stormlight and the messages and themes really hit him to me. I am very chill person but can get passionate about themes and deep dives. I hope to have a chance to interact with you all. Because it is a real please to meet more like minded people who love the same worlds as I do. 

Here is a fun little PSA video I made for RoW. I hope you all enjoy it!

I just love how you are casually making videos when there is a storming ashfall outside due to nearby wildfires...

It really puts you in the mindset of talking about Mistborn. Luckily all the brave firefighters were able to contain the fire that night.

Wow. Just. . . Wow. That was great. I like how Brandon is planning for a movie, and some things you brought up are very important and would be great in the movie. Thanks for making that! I was bored and now I’ll have something to think about. Also, I like how you make these videos about Sanderson. I’ve seen a few around. . .

That is mighty kind of you to say thank you very much! I am curious what are some of the very important things and what are things you would love to see in a movie adaptation? 

I made a small video talking about the changes Brandon wants to make within Mistborn and some of my own, including approaching certain aspects of the material. As I was recording this video, it was raining ash because a wildfire was near my house. I would love to hear what people think and what they would love to see in a Mistborn movie.

Totally, yeah no biggie! Makes complete sense. The base audio level from recording podcasts and on camera audio would be different because of the mic proximity so you were just using the levels off the other.

Yeah, just a small balancing issue with the dubbed audio seeming higher than the on camera audio but that's super easy to level for next time. Nice stuff and props for being chill about the suggestion was exactly how it was meant (i.e. I was not trying impale you with the flames of a thousand fiery swords in a personal attack against your honor )!

Your fine! I appreciate all feedback and I totally understand the critique. Every video I’m learning and improving! I have gotten a good response from the video overall but even I am finding ways to improve for the future.

Lol loved the Sword-Nimi/Nightblood reference. Not sure if the book would have survived the box stabbing (although with Brandon Sanderson books it very well might have ).

The book weight gag is top notch too lol. There was a whole discussion in the memes thread about how we might need book stands in addition to the books for later releases so I definitely feel your pain. This is literally why I've started getting some of them as Kindle versions lol. 

I would take the dubbed audio down just a tad for future things to keep better balance. Overall, good quality and plenty funny, nicely done!

Thank you for the advice, I am so used to editing podcasts and keeping the audio at a certain level I did not realize it was so loud. It is going to be changed in the future. 

Thank you so much! 

Thank you very much! Every time I hold a Stormlight book I feel like I’m gonna snap my wrists. 

My friend and I made a little parody video. It was a lot of fun to put together. I would love to hear what people think.

But is that really known to most of the characters? We know this is Odiums intent/goal. But is it the Fused's? Is it the listeners? Is it the newly restored parshmen's?

I find the term genocide to be carelessly thrown around in this context. For the last year the listeners have not been slaughtering people. As far as most Alethi are likely concerned this is just a new army that was suddenly much more powerful than them.

I understand Lirin's opinion, he is a man used to having people with more power get their way. But I don't think he sees this new reality as a threat to his very existence, just a new foot at his neck.

Upon further consideration and research, I think you are right. I might have irresponsibly used the word genocide. I was basing it off of my understanding of how other Desolations have been perceived and how the prologue for Way of Kings gives that feeling that it has always been a pattern of sheer survival.

I dont feel like "not killing people" is an impossible standard to live towards.

I think it is an impossibility during wartime where the very war is for your very survival, and you are in a small select group of people that can prevent all-out genocide. It might be an impossible standard, given the current situation.

I would not call Lirin hypocritical.  His sense of idealism is very strong though.

He has thought about it. Especially considering letting Roshone die to solve their problems, but his better nature gets the best of him. Although I don't believe Lirin is hypocritical. Personally, I think that he holds his son into impossible standards. That I feel like if he really was in a life or death situation to protect his family again is where he would find himself in a huge moral conflict. This time we would most likely see it internalized through his POV and not from Kaladin.

I don't like Lirin anymore. What the hell did he expect Kaladin to do? Beg the Singers to leave? He gave them the option to leave peaceably.  They chose to attack him. He fights back and Lirin gets all pissy. 

I think Lirin will die and that will snap Kaladin completely to where Dalinar makes him the surgeon mentioned in Syls interlude chapter. 

I known people like Lirin, who hold certain people to impossible standards. Due to there own personal values or beliefs in certain things. Usually, they are deeply flawed people who don't follow their own advice. A good example of this is the first time Lirin sees the airship. It is discussed how it is a perfect device for war because you can move so many troops. However, the first thing Lirin says about it is how it would make a perfect mobile hospital instead of seeing it as a flying marvel. He understands the world differently compared to how Kaladin sees the world or anyone else is the Roshar.

Haha I've also been thinking about Lirin a lot lately! You have an interesting idea... I think it would take a lot to make him break his code. The man is stubborn. However, I really want it to happen, because I think it is time for him to have an inner moral conflict about killing, protecting, and saving after what he has made Kaladin go through.

Seeing how we now have POV's from him. I would love to see what moral conflicts he is going to have, especially with his entire life being literally moved away. 

I was reading through the new chapters, especially with the Lirin POV. I have noticed a lot of foreshadowing of Lirin having to come face to face with his own code. Can one kill to save lives?

"There are two kinds of people in this world, son. Those who save lives and those who take lives ... . You can't protect by killing." -Way of Kings

I think Lirin will be put in a situation where he will have to kill someone to save a life. Most likely against the Fused or a human adversary. I would find this to be super interesting because, as of right now, Lirin does not have radiant powers, but he still has sworn the oath of doing no harm. Brandon loves to explore the idea of people’s faith. May it be in religion or believing in something or a concept, seeing a Lirin POV chapter much like in Oathbring with chapter 84 with Kaladin’s internal perspective. How either Lirin will either live by his sworn oaths that he chastizes Kaladin about constantly or have to break them to save possibly Hesina or Oroden. 

It has been something I have been thinking about since reading the new chapters today. I wonder what will happen because I would be interested to see what the outcome might be if this occurs. What do you all think about this?
