  1. Talk about dedication to the bit. Also, who was panda? I don’t really remember anyone by that name, but TLT is not the best for social interaction, unlike TLPL.
  2. Old member, I mostly remember him for his incredibly long and detailed posts on The Longest Thread that did a lot of lore stuff. Didn’t really know him outside that. @Aeoryi I just want to avoid it because it feels rude to remember him by speculation of why he was banned instead of the good things.
  3. Not really sure if I have the right to speculate. Out of respect for him, I will avoid muddying the waters.
  4. I think I remember a SU he posted that hinted at it, but all I got is speculation.
  5. Speaking of chaos, what happened to the shards from a while ago? And that angel devil thing that shattered the laws in the first place?
  6. *gasp* a triple poster?! Do we need to get Chaos back on TLPL? But why did they leave anyway?
  7. The other one had some stuff, but this thread has some hyperactive people that get unhinged pretty fast. oh and we also got @Conure1243 on this thread so that’s also an explanation.
  8. This overturning is a good part of the series. Accepting that the truth is more complication than one objective Truth was literally mentioned earlier in the series. This feels like a huge assumption. A ā€œfeelingā€ that the book doesn’t sit well with you does not send every person incapable of literary analysis to randomly latch onto random details. Many people like specific sections and dislike others. Any reader can do this much without writing a complex analysis. Why is literally analysis required to determine someone’s opinion of a piece of media? Can I not say that the Shattered Plains arch felt like a copy of Azimir, and then conclude that it feels like padding and makes me dislike that part of the book? Why is literary critique the ā€œend all be allā€, especially when the prose is included in a critique, but you say the content is more important. The popularity is the collective reaction of all readers’ opinions, regardless of how they word their opinions. Most complaints I have seen have said ā€œJasnah’s debate with Odium is simplistic and makes Jasnah seem stupid for not considering his responsesā€ or ā€œthe Shattered Plains arc is a copy of Azimir that doesn’t stand out from its other and also poorly sets up Sigzil’s failure and makes his ending come out of nowhere and feel forced.ā€ Content judgement is not the problem. The problem is that certain parts ring hollow for certain individuals or groups, which is completely okay. Nothing Brandon has written is objectively perfect and is the absolute perfection of writing that all writers aim for, so we can safely say that he will mess up something, and with a book as large as WaT those sorts of mistakes pile up. The book is seen as flawed not because the masses tunnel vision on superficial details, but because they raise genuine issues with the writing.
  9. My siblings by the looks of it. They could be holding him hostage, based on their incredulous skill at their instruments. I’m jealous.
  10. Motivation long left. If he was with me, I’d have a shiny zygarde, better Japanese comprehension, python, trombone.
  11. ? Haven’t seen much from that thing. Just as long as my friend Malamar gets a good ability, I’m fine. If not… Heads will be bowled.
  12. For a while competative PokƩmon, met a friend and @Aeoryi also dabbles. Hypixel skyblock till I got a friend addicted. Sanderson until I made a friend read it and joined the shard. TL;DR: I get a hobby and make other people join so I can stop ranting to my mom who so kindly listens.
  13. Ah another interest in which I am a lone enjoyer how poopy
  14. Finally watched the new Rekrap videos. It’s pretty fun.
  15. One of the worst ways to be woken up, as I have found out, is someone blasting yodeling.

    Like seriously it’s awful.

      I was once told to wake some others up by hitting a saucepan with a wooden spoon loudly.
