  1. Dioh chuckled. "Oh, certainly. You will definitely get going at some point in time." He drew his sword and tapped it to his forehead, saluting Cufre, then patted Gone on the shoulder, winked at Tacien, and left.
  2. Romans 8:38-39: "38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
  3. Don't forget to take attendance on the YW days! Also. I was reading scriptures today and happened across Romans 8:38-39. And oh, my gosh, that is an amazing, amazing scripture. That's a contender for favorite scripture.
  4. When everything you know about mental health and mental illnesses comes from Sanderson and the Sanderson fandom.
  5. True. But it pops up on the front page, and it would be sad for a newcomer to see it...
  6. Hellooooo! Glad to have ya, and welcome!
  7. I don't know... But you might want to edit your post to remove the potential spoilers from the title...
  8. Dioh raised an eyebrow. "What did you expect? I mean, it's a bunch of random, lost people. You think they're gonna have any experience with this sort of stuff?"
  9. "You. Cannot. Have. My. GOAT!" "You. Will. Not. Have. Goat."
  10. "I mean, I assume it was an accident. Maybe she worships George Washington." -Me "I think I have a problem. I stayed up too late last night outlining the plot for a fantasized, dramaticized hero's journey version of 'The Ugly Duckling'." - @The Bookwyrm
  11. Lucky me, lucky me, look at what I'm dripping with... CHROMIUM! ...I can't help kill Wit? Wait, I thought that this was editing my previous post... Whoops. Sorry about that double post.
  12. Hehe. CONVERT TO SHU-DERETH OR YOU WILL DIE!

  15. I think that you might be overstating this aspect of Kaladin's character... I mean, he doesn't want to kill Moash, not just because Moash was once his friend, but because he sees himself in Moash. Moash has lost loved ones because of lighteyes, just like Kaladin. Moash has been unjustly enslaved, just like Kaladin. And I think that Kaladin sees Moash as someone Kaladin might be if he hadn't had Syl. And a friend is someone who's hard to kill, in cold blood or otherwise. There's a part in WoR where Kaladin says, "If I kill a man, I'm going to do it in the sunlight, and I'm going to do it because there's no other way", and killing Moash would have been against that. Moash said, "I surrender," and Kaladin was A, shocked to see his former friend randomly in his hometown just at the moment he was there too, B, exhausted mentally and physically from his nonstop fighting, and C, reluctant to kill Moash because of his similarity to Kaladin. Moash knew just what buttons to push in Kaladin's tired, cracked psyche to make him not kill him. Kaladin is an amazing leader. He is inspiring and indibnibly good at uniting people, and he's an incredible fighter. And that's why he stayed in command so long: Dalinar knew that Kaladin was, usually, a good enough fighter that he made up for his moments of struggle. Along with that, Dalinar knew that fighting was... all he had left, pretty much. So Dalinar delayed in "firing" him. He wouldn't normally respond like that. He used to be a better bodyguard in the ways you've mentioned. But years of fighting and loss have taken its toll. He can't really kill, emotionally. I don't think Kaladin's going to be in charge anytime in the foreseeable future, if ever again. He told Dalinar as much at the end of RoW. Also, I don't think Kaladin was aware that Moash was the one to kill Teft, which is why he didn't hunt him down. I'm not going to respond to this thread again, because I'm a huge Kaladin fan, and my emotional instinct is to go, "B-B-BUT KALADIN'S AMAZING! HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY BABY!" Which is not great. So I'm going to avoid that possibility. Also, you might want to avoid using the word coward... I mean, PTSD is a real thing, and it could be offensive... I know that Kaladin is a well loved character, and so you might not want to be so... hostile, for lack of a better word, on such a controversial topic, I think. G'day!
  16. *winks and explodes*
  17. Whew! Glad I'm not the only one. Here's another one:

    Sazed

    I drew Sazed because he's actually the best ever!
  21. I'm rereading(well actually listening) to Wingfeather and just happened across this sentence in Warden and the Wolf King... 

    I just sat there with my hand over my mouth after moaning loudly.

    Don't click if you haven't read all of Wingfeather.

    Janner never made it back to Chimney Hill.

      *cries softly* Oh, I love these books!

  22. I don't think it was a conscious decision not to kill Moash. It was more of freezing up. Kaladin has severe "battle shock", or PTSD. And at the end of RoW, keep in mind that Kaladin didn't realize that Moash was there, so he couldn't kill him. And after Roshone's death, Kaladin doesn't want to stab his former best friend in the face when Moash won't fight back. Kaladin usually only kills people in combat, not in cold blood. That's just my input, feel free to continue your opinion!
  23. Finished Sazed! Or at least, I decided he's finished.
