  1. I would rephrase that to too seriously, because otherwise i sounds like it's a joke. It isn't, but it's also not serious enough to make your life decisions, apparently. I'm INTP, the most common type around this forum, and also the type that dislikes being common. Some irony in there... Is anyone bored enough to make the torus map that places all the removed-by-one types near each other? I think it'd help with accuracy. I myself found the ENTP type very close to me too, along with the result I got.
  2. Only madman sleep with socks! Though I do, in occasions. You may now question my sanity. TPBM truly believes he is completely sane, and is disappointed he won't be able to bond a spren.
  3. Does my name counts? I think it does, and thus, I am an Ookla. TPBM listens to Clamavi De Profundis' composings of Tolkien's songs.
  4. Apparently so! Though I'm not Selish. TPBM is scared because spoiler outsmarted spoiler.
  5. Maybe they need agreement from the patient. Spoiler tags are created by clicking on the eye symbol - you can edit your post so that the spoiler would be inside a spoiler tag.
  6. Look, all of us (except maybe Naerin) want to believe Hoid wasn't tricked. Thing is, only two things we know of are completely shard-safe: normal human memories, not stored as investiture in any way, and writings set on metal. Hoid might've felt that things are a little off, but he probably couldn't know what exactly it was. Besides, I get what Naerin says: the fact Todium is one step ahead of Hoid makes him far scarier, which sort of adds to this story. I, personally, was terrified when I read the epilog.
  7. Sort of partly halfways? I think? I usually lose some, but I kind of have a small collection. won't really call it an obsession, though. TPBM thinks sorting quizzes are fun to do any time, multiple times, and compares results between those. BTW, IIRC the first sentence I wrote is a Syl quote. Is that really so? If the answer is yes, do you know where it's from?
  8. Look, you clear;y know that we are all fantasy fans, and maybe science fiction. Of course we'll want a time machine! TPBM wants to ride a dragon that is also a time machine.
  9. Yep. I'm cheating, though - last time someone asked this question I answered, and I just wrote it up here, a few comments ago. TPBM is a proud Hufflepuff.
  10. Of course! Who doesn't? TPBM wants to be a dragon.
  11. Yep, that's in my name. TPBM did the order quiz and was dissatisfied with the results (which is to say nothing about mine, I pretty much like it actually. I even grew to like the fact I'm a Hufflepuff and not Ravenclaw).
  12. Indeed I have. TPBM really wants to write a RoW-spoiling TPBM, but won't ruin the book for those who slept each night the last week.
  13. This is great. For some reason, Autonomy and aluminium really fit together to me. I can't comment about all of it right now, though I do wish to mention that there's a WoB stating that Atium when alloyed gives both temporal and mental effects, while Lerasium gives physical and enhancement effects, and so I'd think that their shard's corresponding normal metal would be in one of those quadrants, though I understand it won't work with the opposites. I'll write more later.
  14. All right. This is something I once thought of: is there a theme for each metal that can fit through the Metallic Arts? I know that tin seems to have one - senses - but I'm trying to find a general pattern to all the metals. I don't have a specific idea, but I think we should work in the general direction of pushing/pulling metals. Here is the list of what metals do in each Metallic Art: Iron - A: pulls on metals. Fe: stores weight. H: steals strength. Steel - A: pushes on metals. Fe: stores physical speed. H: steals physical allomantic powers. Tin - A: enhances senses. Fe: stores senses. H: steals senses. Pewter - A: enhances strength and balance. Fe: storing physical strength. H: steals physical feruchemical powers. Zinc - A: riots emotions. Fe: stores mental speed. H: steals emotional fortitude. Brass - A: soothes emotions. Fe: stores warmth. H: steals cognitive feruchemy. Copper - A: hides allomantic pulses. Fe: stores memory. H: steals mental fortitude, memory, and intelligence. Bronze - A: allows to hear allomantic pulses. Fe: stores wakefulness. H: steals mental allomancy. Aluminum - A: wipes internal allomantic reserves. Fe: stores Identity. H: removes all powers. Duralumin - A: quickly burns any burning metals in powerful burst. Fe: stores connection. H: steals connection and identity. Chromium - A: wipes out target's allomantic reserves. Fe: stores furtune. H: might steal destiny? Nicrosil - A: enhances allomantic burn of target. Fe: stores investiture. H: steals investiture. Gold - A: shows past self (or alternative present self). Fe: stores health. H: steals hybrid feruchemy. Electrum - A: shows possible future of the burner. Fe: stores determination. H: steals enhancement allomancy. Cadmium - A: slows down time. Fe: stores breath. H: steals temporal allomancy. Bendalloy - A: speeds up time. Fe: stores energy. H: steals spiritual feruchemy. Proceed to read the spoiler with caution - it's not too spoilery, but it always pays to be cautious.
  15. Am I the only one wondering about general cosmere implications? is anti light still Investiture? If so, is it still Adonalsium-related? And it's all very horrifying, though it seems anti light clashing with light isn't all that strong. It will finish he war, but probably won't destroy the planet.
  16. Don't envy us. at least you are sane, as much as any sanderfan is. Which is, admittedly, not all that much sane, but is still saner than me. Oh, and of course, my answer is no, finished it approximately two days ago. TPBM waited until he/she finished RoW before posting in his thread. (Probably not, but worth a try.)
  17. Sadly, that is true. TPBM is as idiot as I am and finished all RoW in three days, during which he/she didn't sleep.
  18. What? I'm talking about dragon! Though addmitedly, I have only one post in this topic. I actually have a full YouTube video about dragons - mainly about their varying intaligence level - but it's in Hebrew. Sorry. Back on the topic, apparently I don't have much to say about it, especially since I know practically nothing about why it's supposedly impossible for them to fly. I already wrote about the book that tried to explain dragons' flight physical possibility, and I believe it was about using lighter-than-air gas. Again, maybe you should check that out. This is the Wikipedia article about this book.
  19. Define "slightly". TPBM likes to ask people to define things when they ask a question/state an opinion.
  20. It has been confirmed through WoB that allomantic pulses are connected to the rhythms. I don't know about the sleepless, though.
  21. Sorry, I don't really know how to make memes, only want to point out
  22. You mean the one with the cyborgs? Never read it, I have committed the worse sin in existence and read about it in Wikipedia. I don't know if it could help. Did you read what I wrote about the worldbuilding? I acually had an idea about something to differ it from the original story, part off which was making the prince disappear - replaced by an identical-looking innocent person - and the main plot would've been people searching for him. I'm just not sure if it's really a good idea.
  23. I don't know anything about the wingspan that should make flying possible, but I've heard of a book called Flight of Dragons that is about it's physical possibility. It's probably not really all that much scientific, but it's still interesting. Silly question: do you think dragons could be as big but with less mass? I guess the answer is no, but it could help the problem too. Though it might make them more vulnerable in close range fights. How much should their scales weight?
  24. I won't copy the oath but it's mostly right about me. Sadly, part of the reason I don't write a lot is that I have other things which I also procrastinate. I will add that I will try to think of interesting ideas for stories whenever I have time, but I'll never really use them ever since I'll procrastinate. Besides, I try focusing on one idea. I technically published a sort-of fantasy book, but it shouldn't count by any means since it was a very bad one, and it was only given to family and close friends. I have an idea for a world - it's in my signature - and also a vague idea for a story in it - basically some sort of a retelling of Cinderella, though I'm afraid this kind of stories was done too many times. I will like to have some help.
