  1. Gets a feisty pikachu (with no pokeball) Inserts skymark
  2. Someone tried to eat my house. Oops! There goes my lucky ruler.
  3. Granted. You have a constant whispering in your ears that says “winter is coming” every time your local store puts out the Christmas decor. I wish my devices never ran out of battery.
  4. If only. I have seen numerous videos of people making jewelry however, and it looks super fun. TPBM has gotten 3 or more people to read Brandon Sanderson
  5. Can’t say I have. This might be a simple ship-in-a-bottle building problem, but I think I would have difficulty fitting the ship inside said bottle. Unless of course the ship was smaller than the bottle. Do you make your bed every morning?
  6. Fortunately, Thaidakar was happy to keep Jasnah's favorite Cosmere book a secret, and not tell anyone.
  7. Lift and Hoid. A terrifying duo they would make, terrorizing the entire Rosharan continent with their humor. (Yes they have met but they need to do a grand tour of Roshar)
  8. When you hear the plot of a movie that involves cloning and you immediately think about the implications of cloning an Invested person and using hemalurgy to get unlimited power.
  9. Unfortunately, that meant the contest of champions was about to begin.
  10. Gets RGB hair. Inserts Shardfork
  11. Oh yeah, I forgot to turn the portal off. The electricity bill is going to be through the roof. "Yeah, and there was this depressed-looking lobster thing with 17 legs and a sentient rainbow slime."
  12. Gets a disappointed Hoid. Inserts a good story.
  13. Granted, your bane is that the gas you see changes randomly from opaque to translucent. I wish for a cute fluffy dog or cat that I am not allergic to.
  14. I quite enjoy it, however I have not had the chance to pun very much. It’s a rare treat that I will never get tired of. TPBM has turned someone into a Sanderfan.
  15. Nope, the school has kindly allowed us Sanderfans to use the 17th shard (for now) TPBM joined the 17th shard recently.
  16. It is probably a reference to the Recreance, and not to other spren bonds she had ended. Also, I think Pattern was quite "young" at that point, and probably hadn't gathered all of his memories yet, and I don't think he knew Shallan had killed Testament. It seems the Honorspren hadn't known who had killed Testament, only that it had happened recently, so I doubt Pattern would. However, I do find this theory really interesting. It also makes me think about the painful psychological impacts of ending multiple spren bonds, which has never been done, as far as we know.
  17. Possibly something Honor-related, or related to oaths? Maybe something like duty (which isn't determination because it isn't the determination to do something, it's the obligation to), or integrity, or morality, or *insert any other synonym for honor here*. If it was morality, it could make for a unique villain that stores morality, so they always feel like they are doing the "right thing", no matter how evil they are actually being.
  18. I have, on multiple occasions. Overall, it's gone... about 50/50 TPBM has been to 3 or more countries.
  19. I first learned about Brandon Sanderson when watching youtube videos, and I heard he was "pretty good". I read Mistborn, and finished Era 1 immediately upon discovering there were sequels to TFE. Later, a friend told me pretty much every day, "read Way of Kings", so I read Way of Kings. At that point, I was a fully fledged Sanderfan and read every single book by him that I could get, starting with Words of Radiance. I'm not sure how I found the 17th Shard, but it was probably through the Coppermind. Now I'm waiting for The Lost Metal and listening to the Shardcast. How did you guys become a Sanderfan?
  20. Shallan spoiler Lift: I'm hungry. Everyone: But you ate a whole plate of pancakes already! Lift: I stole a whole plate of pancakes. Also tell my pet Voidbringer to be quiet, he keeps saying words like "Cognitive Realm" and "Investiture" and "Malnutrition". Nale: I murder people for glowing and flying around and stuff, but it's 100% legal. I would never ever murder someone if I couldn't legally justify it, I'm not a madman! Mistborn era 2 spoilers
  21. While this is an interesting theory, I think it's nothing to do with Mraize's aviar making people think he's a totally normal dude that would not like to murder you and your family should you become politically inconvenient. I think Mraize is just a really manipulative person, as we don't see many people seeing Mraize as a hire-able person( but it is odd that he has trusted positions in practically every nation). I can't really remember if Mraize brings his chicken to work. I don't think he would. His aviar probably has a different power, even though allomantic Soothing type stuff is something I feel that Mraize would be interested in. We haven't seen every type of aviar ability, but I think something Fortune related is also a Mraize thing.
  22. Amaram: "Ah, my uhh... Chicken... is a very strange breed. From an unusual area of Shinovar, they... attract a variety of negative spren. It really ruins the happy vibe of my office." Random guy: "Who taught it these very specific curses that seem directed to you...'killing all his men'?" Amaram: "The...uh...chicken seller...was a very profane man. I plan to be rid of this chicken once we reach the nearest town." Random guy: "Why has this chicken killed a Shardbearer?"
  23. I think one modified Hoid quote sums up my entire worldbuilding process (I don't actually write stories, I use my hours of watching nerdy videos on imagining stories in my head and never writing it down. That's my secret to avoid the "Well it sounded better in my head" problem.) "Nonsense. Balderdash. Figgldygrak. Isn't it odd that gibberish words are often the sounds of other words, cut up and dismembered, then stitched into something like them—yet wholly unlike them at the same time? I wonder if you could do that to a [story]. Pull him apart, [idea] by [idea], [concept] by [concept], [papery] chunk by [papery] chunk. Then combine them back together into something else, like a Dysian Aimian. If you do put a [story] together like that, Dalinar, be sure to name him Gibberish, after me. Or perhaps Gibletish." -Hoid if he told original fictional stories Basically, recycle ideas you find interesting or cool and rearrange them to make a unique but not nonsensical world.
