  1. Hello again, I'm back! I haven't been here for a while, so what about a quick life update?

    Last month has been... more of the same. Old and new demons, more and more work, more and more stupid school administration, more failed interviews for my internship. But also some fun times and laughs with friends and family, good books, good movies (go watch Dune if somehow you haven't already), and slow reconstruction work.

    Speaking of books, I have finally gotten my hands on copies of Tress and Sunlit Man! This means that I am caught up with the Cosmere, for the first time since TLM released. You might see me occasionally in the theory boards now. 

    How about you? How's been life treating you recently?

      Hiiiii!! I feel this so much…I’m good for the most part, very tired and feeling a strange and wistful sort of peaceful happiness.

      Thanks!! I went to a masquerade ball and decided that masks are so storming FUN. 

  2. Now I've read Tress and Sunlit, I'm gonna give my thoughts here. (4: Frugal Wizard. Haven't read that one, probably won't for a while. From what I hear, it will probably end up here anyway because I don't see it top the other SPs.) 3. Sunlit Man. Really great, but I felt that we had too many holes in the main character's story to fully appreciate it. It might be improved with later Cosmere releases. Also, the permanent breakneck pace made it exhausting (which I guess was what he was going for, but wasn't exactly what I needed right now.) Again, great book, but not my favourite. 2. Tress of the Emerald Sea. Banger from end to end. I fell in love with the characters as soon as they were introduced, the worldbuilding was incredibly cool... Pretty much an instant favourite for me. Best read by a crackling fire, or with a blanket if unpractical. 1. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. Just as Tress, an instant favourite. Some of Sando's best character work with Yumi and Nikaro, cool worldbuilding, a nice plot with a brilliant climax... But what inches it ahead is how much I connected on a personal level to Nikaro's struggles. Even though my brain is whispering me that Tress is the better book, my heart and my vote go to Yumi and the Nightmare Painter *whispers* Everyone. I think he's watching
  3. Granted. You forget about everything you remembered prior to this. You now know you have a math homework to do for tonight, but you don't remember to who give it back. Or what name you should put on it, for that matter. I wish for a rational school administration.
  4. Reading this was quite the experience. Keep up this way, you're awesome
  5. Proof: He's called "Child of Tanavast" by the Stormfather. Theory: The Rosharan kandra is Chiri-Chiri.
  6. Are you sure you're not the rational part of my brain? Because you sound exactly the same. Jokes apart, the work has been done.
  7. First, I haven't interacted with you yet, so welcome to the Shard! I haven't finished TOTK but you know all of that is just surface-level similarities, and/or incredibly common tropes that existed waaaaay before WoT? Like "Age of Legends" well there aren't an infinity of ways to call a very ancient golden age of which there are only legends left Similarly OP legendary swords are not something WoT invented (cough cough Excalibur), and the Flame of Tar Valon and the Dragon's Fang are just a yin and a yang. Same for ouroboros, it's an incredibly common imagery for anything cyclic. And for the Dragon Reborn - there are no actual dragons in WoT, it was just a surname. This is entirely a coincidence. (I'm not sure if you were sarcastic. If it was, well sorry.)
  8. Wait this existed for a week and I didnt know about it? Well, hello fellow procrastinators. I should be doing my project thing for tomorrow morning (it's night here) but instead I'm on the shard.
  9. False, Europe is a part of Italy. Roses are red and violets are blue.
  10. Shrimp ! With weird eyes! 8/10
  11. A lifetime's worth of experience, of laughs with friends, of tears, of heaftbreaks, and of celebrations. What is your favourite Queen song?
  12. Proof: Honor is not dead so long as he lives in the hearts of men. Honor still lives in the hearts of men. Therefore Honor is not dead. Theory : There are only fifteen shards. One of them is fake.
  13. Granted. You are so ambiguous, the Nightwatcher didnt understand what you were asking. She will keep asking for your boon over and over again until the end if time. I wish to remember the neat little theory I had when rereading SA recently, that I didn't write and forgot everything about. I know it's there help me
  14. Plant it, see if it grows a bunch of gold potatoes. Like that golden apple tree in Greek myths, but in the earth. Let's call it the earth apple tree. What would you do if you found the finale of Mistborn Era 4 in your pocket ? (You do not have access to any other future book, just this one.)
  15. Granted. "RAFO!" I wish for an illumination.
  16. I might have to take that back. I'm so fed up with myself. I have so many things that should have already been done by now. I had nothing else to do yesterday. But of course instead of trying to catch up, I'm gonna burn down the software that limits me and just play for half of the day. Why can't I just do things? I have the means, the time, the documentation. All I have to do is just do it. And even then, nothing. Even when I wasn't playing, it was something else - Youtube, downloading another game on my phone, or just doomscrolling the internet. I don't know what to do anymore. I have a presentation to do tomorrow and I can't possibly make anything decent by now; what am I supposed to tell them? They're not going to accept the "I couldn't do it" excuse again. And all of that for a game I am not even having fun anymore with Anyway, since games make it even worse (just have to check how well I slept last night vs the previous one) that's done. Steam account is going to be deleted forever, as well as everything game-adjacent on my PC. I'm so done with that.
  17. I'm really confused right now.

    If your schoolwork is stressing you to death, and you are mad at yourself for not doing it, it means you care about it  right?

    Then why do I just put it off all the time like it was nothing? Shouldn't this happen if I don't care?

    I don't understand what is happening here.

    Also, I went to the bookshop today!

      You know, I wish I knew the answer to that question.

  18. The entire album "A Black Mile to the Surface" by Manchester Orchestra. 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins Guts' theme from the 1997 Berserk anime Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, or the cover by Disturbed Every single song Pink Floyd ever put out. (But especially Echoes, Time, Wearing the Inside Out, Hey You, and maybe Amused to Death if you count Waters' solo works) Le vent nous portera by Noir Désir
  19. Once again you nailed it.
  20. *hugs* If you want to talk to me, my PMs are always open too. I hope all the best for you and that whatever happened those last days is getting better. *more hugs* Same. My PMs are still as open. And I wish everything that makes you suffer will go somehow. *even more hugs to everyone*
  21. Granted. You cannot wear anything else ever in your entire life. Good thing it's several metres long. I wish to be able to freeze time.
  22. *big bear hugs* I'll echo Stick there. We're all here for you, and if you ever want to PM me, dont hesitate.
  23. They are both crabs from Roshar. Also, have we ever seen a baby chasmfiend, or an old axehound? It's obviously because axehounds are actually chasmfiends larvae! Later in their life cycle, they go to the chasms, make themselves giga-cocoons and turn into the things we know as chasmfiends after a couple decades. There is a high rate of losses among axehounds during the trip to the Shattered Plains, which is why there are more axehounds than chasmfiends on Roshar. Fortunately, the axehounds are fertile uner this form, making the survival of the species not a concern. (Shallan is wrong about the chasmfiend population fall, it's just because the war prevented the axehounds to hibernate properly.) Theory: Syl is actually Ba-Ado-Mishram who got implemented false memories. After Die Hard, the next action movie remixed in SA will be Total Recall.
