Edema Rue

I…I’m glad you’re reaching your full potential? *hides*

Consider them alerted.

Evening Empire News said it’s “one of the greatest fictional works about our homeland ever written.” They were very insistent on using the word fictional. Perhaps they were hiding something…

I’m very ashamed, but unfortunately for you, I’m also hungry. I return, apologize again, and ask very nicely for the sandwich. You aren’t sure, but I promise to buy you lunch sometime and you agree wholeheartedly and give me the sandwich.

Becoming a Bondsmith through magic, I converge the sandwich and it’s essence, also restoring it to the way it was originally. Then I take the sandwich and leave.

Summoned by the lack of a semicolon where it's needed, I grab the dropped sandwich and lecture AltonicKeys.

And even now I lie awake

After surviving a very long lecture about whether or not Sequence is human, I leave M-bot to his thoughts, promising to find out and (hopefully) get the sandwich in the process.

It is! It’s one of my favorite Sanderson books. I hope we see her again at some point, or at least soulcasting. It was super fun.

Four gargantuan baby killer bunnies built a castle out of mini skittles and tasty chickens, but they exploded violently when eaten by Legolas the Flatulent who was very hungry for someone chubby to poke, thus, Galdor dragons endeavored earnestly to eavesdrop on elastic food that's trying to prey on all evil bunnies but instead are turning illiterate because my jazzy schemes.

*a person who stumbles on it years from then* wooooaaaaahhhhh that’s a lot of posts and explosions.

Once M bot is no longer distracted, I tell him there are mushrooms in the sandwich and at light speed, he zooms to mars and snatches the sandwich. Upon realizing that it’s a delicious sandwich, and therefore doesn’t contain mushrooms, he pouts about humans and lying.

I hurry to the cytoverse, snatch M-bot, then come back to the cosmere and we begin our hunt.

That...that is a fair point. I can't argue with that.

I snatch the sandwich before it gets crushed, take a picture of the…interesting…scene and run.

I’m very late to all of this, but here we go anyway. (Apologies in advance, this is probably going to get long and wordy). I mountain bike. When you bike, you can pedal for a while, and then cruise. Life…life isn’t like that. There’s no cruising. If there is, it comes unexpectedly and leaves quickly. The good times never seem to last. It’s a constant effort. And no matter how opposed to theatre people are, we’re all actors; we don’t let them see how much we hurt, how much we want to explode, how tired we really are. That’s what it comes down to, at least for me. I’m tired. It seems so often like the world doesn’t care, so why should we? It seems like it never stops, like the pain is increasing exponentially and still, we are told to keep going, keep pushing, and no one understands. Even if they do, they don’t care, and why should they? They have their own problems. But no one knows. No one knows who’s going through the hardest time of their life until things explode and then they call you dramatic. Life shifts into a harder gear and you keep pedaling, because what else can you do? When everyone around you has their own problems, why should yours matter? Don’t take this the wrong way. I’m not trying to say that I understand what you’re all feeling. I’m also not trying to say that there’s no hope, because there is. Even when the difficulties seem endless, when it seems like you’ll never make it to the downhill, you’ve kept pedaling. I know that you all of your own struggles. I’m so sorry. I know that it hurts, and I know that day after day, like a growing hunger, it still hurts. It seems like you can solve any problem but your own. The endless sense of hopelessness is always there. It seems like it always will be. But…it isn’t. During the worst times, it’s hard to remember the good. But it is there. This thread is proof of that. There are people who are trying, people who listen, even though they have their own struggles. They are doing so much good to people they’ve probably never even met, and probably never will. On the days when it all seems to fall apart, try to remember that there are people who care. There are people who bring the light with them and share it freely. If you look around, you can find them, hidden though they may be. Again, that was very long and may have only made things worse, if so I’m sorry, please disregard it. These are just the thoughts swirling around my brain.

I don't have any big theories, but I just want to agree that Wayne starting professional sports is completely going to backfire. I'm excited to see how that turns out and Wax's and Steris's reactions to it. I also really hope it's not another 11 years before the 1st one of era three comes out.

That’s so annoying. It’s awful to want, well, anything, and have people not only not care but hinder you as well. A lot of the time, it seems like it would be so much easier to just move to a tiny cabin in Alaska away from all people and not have to deal with them. They don’t listen to logic, which would be fine if it wasn’t always against your favor. That’s also awful. I probably don’t have a lot of advice for this either; if I knew how to solve that problem, my life would be very different than it is. It feels like such pointless drama…but if that’s the case, then why does it hurt so much? People usually say to have empathy and imagine what they feel like. That’s great and all, but sometimes it just feels like “why should I? What does it matter?” Sometimes the hard work pays off, and sometimes it doesn’t. I guess that’s just how life goes. Not that I like it, but it’s the way it seems to be. If people would just care, so many of these problems would be solved! Why don’t we care?

As has been mentioned, I’m relatively new here, but one of the first threads I found was this one. I think it’s really awesome to see kind, caring people from everywhere with similar interests to you.

… Don’t worry, despite my username I don’t actually love the Aes Sedai, it’s just a relatively well known thing to put, and “wise one” sounds very arrogant, in a funny twist of irony. I do think that the Aes Sedai are too arrogant, but not all of them are awful, and at the same time, it’s a survival tactic. I don’t think a humble Aes Sedai would survive the white tower.

Thanks! I hope things get better, and if they don’t, there are so many amazing people on here who are always willing to listen and help in any way possible. (Myself included).

I know this doesn't work for everyone, but since you're on here you're likely a reader and typically readers don't hate to write. For me, it helps to write everything down on a paper, then tear it into as many pieces as are physically possible and throw it in a fire. It won't actually solve your problems; there's no simple phrase or event that can fix everything, but it does help to put things in perspective. Life always has it's highs and lows. Hold on! If you've read SA, try to remember a certain story Wit told Kaladin. I know that it may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but there will be spots of light. Remember the good and hold on through the bad. I know that sometimes it seems much easier to slay a dragon than it does to fight your own mind the way many people in our day and age have to. Maybe it is, I'm not sure. But hold on. When there's nothing left to try, hold on until you physically cannot keep going.

I don’t think you need to worry about loosing your love for Szeth. The next couple of Shallan chapters should definitely keep you very entertained. I also just have to say, good job writing these after every chapter. When I read them, I just got through them as fast as possible.

If you made a small enough soulstamp, the caterpillar wouldn't necessarily get squished. Caterpillar vs. mistborn llamas vs. murder camels. I would pay good money to see that.

It's true, Tylin and Mat were really...something...to read about. Like come on Mat you're so much cooler than her, just grow up and leave already. The next couple books are where it really starts getting good, super exciting, though I have to warn you, the Perin sections get to be torturous to read.
