clifford the big red dog what is your mother's maiden name?

I've seen you around before, on old threads TPBM is trying to do complex algebra but keeps getting tripped up on addition errors edit ninja'd

Thanks! I like the idea that it would be a Dawnshard... maybe all of the Dawnshards are "binding agents"? If not, I wonder if you could reform Adonalsium without them? (there's probably a WOB or something isn't there)

that is incomprehensible CREMLING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOUP? Edit: (oh wait I just realized this is the regular AAA thread) (um)

Even more quotes - this time from Ashspren’s link - Spensa: Next time I'm at the pet store, I'm gonna take a hamster and drop it in the scorpion cage. I wanna see what a hamster's face looks like when it goes, "oh, ****.” - Spensa: Get in, loser, we’re committing vehicular manslaughter! - Maksim: Look guys, I need help. Nuluba: Love help? Pam: Financial help? Shiver: Emotional help? Spensa: Help moving a body? *Everybody looks at Spensa* Spensa: What? - Chet: Do you know a turtles only weakness? Spensa: No... well, their slowness. Chet: Their weaknesss is they can't roll over when they are on their backs. Chet: Now I have a plan. Chet: If I duct tape two turtles together, they'll be unstoppable. - Spensa: You’re charged with…..breaking into a pet store? Chet: I thought the animals might be lonely. - Chet: There's something I have to ask about you-know-who. Spensa: Voldemort? Chet: No. Spensa: Is it Voldemort? Chet: It's not Voldemort. Spensa: You haven’t mentioned wizards once this conversation, so I’m gonna have to assume it’s Voldemort.

Favorite movie quote? like scud you did

Oh I just saw you in the “Recently Browsing” and wanted to say hi (haven’t seen you on the Shard in a while)

Why are you wearing a strawberry? PIZZA AND PASTA COME AND GET IT

What is the meaning of life?

So you eat cereal? Eating… that’s the thing you do with your eyes, right? Banana bandana.

If they were on board with it. Why are you like that?

I’m indifferent toward it. TPBM is in school

Could Unity be a sort of “binding agent” for Adolnasium - something or someone that held the Shards together? This would make sense in the context of the Shattering - Rayse and the others killed Unity to shatter Adolnasium. This could also be a way for Adolnasium to be reformed, if that’s going to happen.

That’s true. I did feel like there’ll be some more resolution for that in Defiant though. I think Brandon wanted Spensa and M-Bot to have a little bit of a more in-depth conversation about that mid-late Defiant, judging by the decision M-Bot made at the end.

I don’t think this is the case. The way that Spensa describes Detritus’s new orbit (“that was new”) implies that it wasn’t that way before. Personally, I think something big happened in Evershore that knocked Detritus’s orbit off-course. Since much of the Skyward Flight novellas’ plot revolves around the taynix, I’d imagine that it might have something to do with teleportation, but we’ll just have to wait and see. It’s not like we have long to wait Edit: Hey @Thaidakar the Cool Ookla!

The first hundred pages of Cytonic were pretty bad. They just didn’t quite feel as polished as the precious books, and they lacked much of the snark and general charm that I love about this series. It took me a couple of days to get through them, and was spending more time composing a review of the book to post here than actually reading. But then, Spensa joined the Broadsiders, and my opinion of the book changed dramatically. The rest of the book was actually quite enjoyable. When the Broadsiders were introduced, the opportunities for banter increased dramatically, and the book was just a lot more fun. Instead of the cast of three we’d had before, there was now a cast of eight, and each of them interacted in different ways. “Delving” into Maksim, Shiver, Dlllizzz, Nuluba, and Pam’s character and personality was my favorite part of the book, and without them, I probably would have enjoyed it a lot less. “But what about Chet?” you cry. “He was interesting too!” I mean, I guess. But Chet’s character honestly felt a little flat to me. He seems like one of those characters that authors put into books that are injected with traits that are conducive to becoming the “fan favorites.” And don’t get me wrong - these characters usually turn out really well. Take Doomslug, for example. Brandon obviously meant for her to become a fan favorite, and she’s great! But Chet seems like he’s comprised of only those traits (plus the bare minimum number of other traits that move the story along). His enigmatic, dinosaur-riding personality just didn’t quite work for me. And I do know that there are reasons for why this is. It was, in fact, probably deliberate. But in my opinion, it fell a bit flat. My second-favorite part of the book was a tie between the delver lore, and M-Bot’s exploration of his new emotions. I don’t have too much to say about either of these things, but Spensa reading a trashy romance novel in her starship while M-Bot distracts her is probably my favorite scene in the book. Not sure why. It just is. In conclusion, great book, but like Starsight, it can’t live up to the sheer perfection that was Skyward.

Thrice! (actually four times but i don’t know the fancy word for that) Has never won the day.

No, with Dalinar at the climax of OB Also dragons are cool and awesome in all the best ways so 19/10.

Oops. oops.

(Oops) Meanwhile, breadmunks.

Enough? Yes. Enough? No. Favorite genre of book other than fantasy?

But what is this? The story has suddenly transformed into present tense!

with ur mom TPBM thinks that ^ was moderately cringy.
