I feel like someone must have made this already, but I haven't seen it yet

Hey! I understood that reference.

So. A while ago, I made a note at the end of Chapter 9 of Way of Kings, which ended with, "And for the first time in a year, Kaladin found himself crying."
I was reading a random part for the umpteenth time. Since I was on Kindle, I made a note. This was that note: "He hasn't cried in a year? What about the day Amaram betrayed him and he killed Helaran? It SAID there were tears on his cheeks." And Kaladin think to himself it's been about 2 or 3 weeks. This is inconsistent.

Later. Like... I have no idea how long later, I opened up good 'ol Way of Kings, and on that same chapter, it now said "And for the first time in over eight months, Kaladin found himself crying."
What happened here?

Other than this, there are other changes such as two instances of me noting "typo" and then later looking back and there being no typo, as well as "Kaladin's eyes snapped open, and they leaked light, faintly glowing amber." (or something like this) being changed to "Kaladin's eyes snapped open, and they leaked light too." I also made a note on this, "Amber?! AMBER?! They turn BLUE!!!" And now it's different! What's up here? Is Isaac Stewart reading my notes? (i certainly hope not, cause some of those are a little... odd. also i don't really think that's happening.) I'm just curious, does anyone know?

also, is it just the typo thread thing, still happening? but I didn't see any mention of any of these things on there. This might be a wee bit dumb but I don't know

Something like "Master of the House" from Les Mis but for Odium, Sadeas, or Amaram.

"Honor is dead"

"I'm Adolin Kholin and I'm in a Duel"

"We chose!"

A song for every important Oath that's said.

Shallan's "oh no I killed my ____"

"The King's Wit"

All of Hoid's stories.

"How bad can I possibly be" from the Lorax but for Amaram

"The Assassin in White"

"Oh storms... what have we done?" - the prelude

"Unite them"

And finally...

"You. Cannot. Have. My. Pain!"

Bonus track: Moash

He doesn't deserve a punctuation mark. 

"oh no I killed my ___" cracked me up in a dark way

Oh and also! I'm trying to write a Taravangian villain song but it ain't happening, mostly because I have no way of writing music and I don't know any music theory. Also don't know what to do.

Oh! Hehe, I do, I am super slow(literally the slowest on the team during the season but that's okay!), but yes, I do sometimes!

This would be so confusing if I had not read Stormlight 

I showed it to a friend who hadn't read Stormlight. She was extra confused cause she didn't know memes. 

When listening to Way of Kings(specifically the Bridge Four and Droplets chapters) motivates you to run longer and more often with your friend.

Not really a Swiftie... but looking at some of the lyrics and saying

...are you okay, Taylor???

When you have this conversation:

Person, seeing my shirt: “MISTBOOORRRRNN!!”

Me: “MISTBOOORRRNNN!”

Person: “I love mistborn!”

Me: “Me too. That’s why I have a mistborn shirt.”

Person: “Have you read any of his other books?”

Me: “All of them.”

Person: “All-”

Me: “ALL of them.”

Person: “Oh…”

Me: “Oh.”

 

Is their "oh" mean "me too"?

You're definitely deep in the Cosmere when you find yourself eyeing your friends suspiciously, wondering if any of them might secretly be worldhoppers. It's like a real-life game of Spot the Cosmere Connection! Who knows, maybe you'll stumble upon a fellow Sanderson aficionado who can share in your excitement for all things Cosmere. Keep your eyes peeled and may the Shards be with you!

When you wear all your Sanderson shirts when you're in public to maybe meet a fellow fan.

We had to make a poem imitating the rhyming scheme and rhythm of The Raven.

I made mine about the Cosmere.

Also I got to go on The Coppermind for homework. Which was fun.

HAHA!! I'm pretty sure that I did that exact same thing.

YKYASW you misread Seth as Szeth.

Uh... hate to tell you this, but he basically signed that agreement the moment he took up the Dawnshard. Unless Roshar invents immortality, he will outlast all of his friends in Bridge Four. That's what it means to be an immortal among mortals and versions of this concept have been reiterated over and over in literature. Whether he stays or goes, so this  It's a continuation of his choice to retain his Torment rather than trying to siphon it completely away. In many ways, at this point retaining his Torment(s) and hardships is his choice and he's turned a corner in his choice to regain his frayed honor and conscience. What's different here is that he has permanently left Canticle better than when he found it, and that he himself has become a better person.

Basically, not every good friend you meet you keep for life. I was a counselor for a youth camp and it was basically my job to create an environment where temporary friendships could form and people could come out of their shells and learn more about themselves and others and grow. A weekly cycle of getting a new batch of teens, learning all of their names, doing my best to learn about them and care about them before letting them going out to normality and trying to gear myself for the next week. Life is not a youth camp, but those days can still be special and everyone involved can grow from the experience. Just because it's temporary doesn't mean it's not worthwhile or happy.

Well, my problem isn't mainly that he can't see his friends again.

What breaks my heart is that he can't ever rest or stop running. And now he doesn't even have Aux to keep him company. I am sad.

I took this as unreliable narrator POV. Afterall, what he really says is (TSM Epilogue):

  Reveal hidden contents

He’d likely never know what happened to Rebeke, Elegy, the Greater Good, and all the other Beaconites. Because he couldn’t afford to look backward, didn’t dare bring the forces that chased him anywhere near people he cared about. If he ever returned there, they’d know the place meant something to him.

Which, of course, does not account for the eventual defeat of his pursuers, allowing him to resume all of his personal relationships. It's not that he can't see his friends again, it's that while-depressed-after-losing-aux he cannot see an optimistic future through his depression. 

You make a good point! I hadn't seen that.

I actually loved SM's ending. I feel like we never get sad endings from Brandon, and I was happy to see it. I felt like the entire book was kinda built upon the idea that Sigzil's life was sad, so I loved that the ending matched the theme.

I suppose... I don't agree, but fair enough!
