western-series

[tawny grotto]

Thank you

[sage remnant]

or you can read like in order that show || Industrial Revolution of Discworld world || Discworld

which is mostly happenning in background

[tawny grotto]

Also, what is GoTM

[sage remnant]

uhh Small Gods, any of Death, Equal Rites, and well I'll end up recommending more than half the series so I'll stop

[worthy crypt]

Oh I also read small gods I didn't even know it was discworld

[sage remnant]

Garden of the Moon
book 1 of Malazan Book of the Fallen

[tawny grotto]

So theyre rather episodic?

[sage remnant]

Discworld?

p much

there's events in the earlier stories that affect the world and that's visible

there's character arcs that span multiple books

but there's not really like a continuous plot that spans multiple books that you need a specific chronology to read them

[tawny grotto]

I see thank you

Bought the first one for starters

[sage remnant]

nice

I dunno how it's in German

but in first few books, Pratchett really didn't find the voice that makes Discworld what it is

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 question ||Chapter 14|| ||Is Preservation supposed to be the smoke in this situation?||

[sage remnant]

rafo

I dunno what I should answer to this man

I hate that epigraph

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 ||Part 2|| ||I like seeing how Kelsier's words can be twisted for cruelty, good bit of nuance from Brandon here in this city that Spook has infiltrated.||

[limber urchin]

I think you hate all of them in book 3 lol

[sage remnant]

Mistborn book 3 || Yes that's what the epigraph means, but the way actual characters discuss and find out about it happens wayyy later ||

it's like
It makes it even so difficult to even answer your question lol

[limber urchin]

you don't need to. RAFO is good enough for me. as long as I know answers will come

[sage remnant]

Hero of ages|| Spook's plotline is soo good... ||

[sage remnant]

cuz like

|| the epigraph answers it in a weird way||

|| robs the discovery/understanding and jumps to the conclusion ||

HoA

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 ||When I first read his name at the beginning of a chapter, I was worried it wouldn't be good. But I'm actually finding it enjoyable.||

[sage remnant]

Mistborn book 3 || Also a change of times. Kelsier's words for then were perfect for having the skaa take up arms but again he couldn't realize how extreme he was here and like everywhere ||

[sage remnant]

My fav HoA chapter is of his...

|| what was your reaction to Kelsier's death again || Mistborn TFE

you might know the reason I asked this specific quesion

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 and all of Stormlight and LOTR ||I'm still confused that he's dead, 'cause I can still swear I read a later book 4 or 5 chapter of Stormlight that suggested he was alive, or maybe somewhere here said something (or I misinterpreted what they said)? I know this sounds crazy, maybe it was just a comment I read on reddit; who even knows at this point. But I keep thinking Kelsier is gonna have a Gandalf moment. His death surprised me basically 'cause I was overconfident he was going to live due to the Stormlight thing above.||

[sage remnant]

nice

thankfully that worked for you

it didn't work for a friend of mine that started with Stormlight

Buffy, you gotta read a book called Secret History after this btw

[limber urchin]

which one is that

[sage remnant]

it's release order wise later

but since you have read Stormlight

|| it's a book that deals with Kelsier stuff and provides the answers you need|| Mistborn/Stormlight

[limber urchin]

oh nice

[shrewd sigil]

mistborn book 3 all (don't open buffy) ||it's clearly ruin, no? the epigraph talks about black smoke and ruin's entrapment in the well of ascension, and preservation has always been described to be white smoke/mist||

[limber urchin]

but darn it i have to read Salem's Lot first

[sage remnant]

it's edgedancer length

|| and is Kelsier as MC || Secret History main character spoiler

[shrewd sigil]

ngl idk if buffy can open this actually I just tagged it anyway since I dont remember the order of events in era 1

[sage remnant]

he cannot

and you are wrong

[shrewd sigil]

how

[sage remnant]

reread

[shrewd sigil]

[sage remnant]

HoA all|| it's supposed to be the cage that's formed of Preservation ||

[worthy crypt]

I only know one thing about secret history that makes me not wanna read it || kelsir is alive-ish ||

[sage remnant]

|| that's revealed by|| BoM right

?

It's the only book of Mistborn I really liked all the way to the end

[worthy crypt]

Uh maybe been a while since I read it but I don't remember it being direct I think it's just hinted or indirect

Either way I hate it and I'm gonna pretend it's not true

[sage remnant]

BoM/Secret History || Secret History was written as companion piece to explain what the fuck kelsier did in the hidden years ||

in his own ways

I exaggerated a bit

Secret History is a perfect book for me except for one single line near the end

which I delude myself into forgetting it exists

[shrewd sigil]

mistborn book 3 all ||goro I'm pretty sure it is just ruin man||

[brave orbit]

Stormlight all /mistorn 3 SH ||Its more like he is a Cognitive Shadow i think, similar to Szeth after getting killed by Kal||

[sage remnant]

ohh wait

|| well just let Buffy realize it when Vin does 300 pages later || Mistborn 3

[shrewd sigil]

||preservation was never described as anything but white, and ruin is his opposite so ofc hed be black smoke|| mistborn 3 all

[sage remnant]

|| yeah i got confused a bit. mb || mb 3 all

[sage remnant]

DON'T OPEN BUFFY

this mf fed is so spoiler holic

[shrewd sigil]

lmfao

[brave orbit]

It was mentioned in stormlight but ok

[sage remnant]

Not really?

Stormlight all/Mistborn Secret History || In the Gavilor prologue, it was just hinted at and unless you have Secret history info or Words of Brandon, it's still a question of what happened and what he is||

and even then it's not as clear as || he doesn't fit into Vasher's classification || Mistborn Secret History/Stormlight all

Stormlight All/Mistborn Secret History || Kelsier is the only cognitive shadow who doesn't have connection to Physical Realm ||

[limber urchin]

Don't worry, I always ask if I can read it if it's not by you.

[worthy crypt]

wor i-14 || am i supposed to already know why terravangion has varying intelligence? ||

[sage remnant]

uhhhhhh

what happened in non interlude chapters by then?

[worthy crypt]

wor i14 || he woke up and did some math problems that let them know how smart he is today and what duties he should be allowed to do. Then he reflects on the nature of his condition and his trust in a previous genuis self that had created some diagram of the future that convinced him he should send szeth against all the various targets, which we learned in the end of the first book ||

[limber urchin]

BTW, will I like Mistborn era 2 and 3?

[sage remnant]

I haven't read them

[worthy crypt]

there is no 3 yet

[shrewd sigil]

era 2 is peakkkkk

[sage remnant]

I continued era 1 just so I could read era 2

but disliked era 1 so much I didn't continue to era 2

[limber urchin]

got some fake brandosando fans (goro) in chat

[sage remnant]

yeah I never was a sando fan

I am a Stormlight fan

[limber urchin]

i am also a stormlight fan

[brave orbit]

||No, but you can probs guess by now ig|| wor i-14

[limber urchin]

but like a baby fan, i will need to reread one day

[worthy crypt]

oh you said non interlude chapters

wor part 4 || most recent thing is kaladin escaped the chasm w shallan ||

[sage remnant]

oh I think it's stated by that point already?

[brave orbit]

Nah

[sage remnant]

but you should obviously be able to guess it by like early WoR

[sage remnant]

fair. I'll trust you in that one

[limber urchin]

have you spoiled yourself on era 2 goro?

since you don't plan to read anyways

[sage remnant]

some bits

still not cuz like I want to read it but I don't want the same disappointment that era 1 was...

[limber urchin]

i've read too many books (relative to when I barely read any) that it's like balancing a really unstable janga tower in my brain.

I have enjoyed Mistborn era 1 so far. I like Stormlight better, but I also like Mistborn.

[valid thunder]

I will read era 2 if its necessary for era 3

[sage remnant]

the thing Era 2 does is one I always wanted to be done well in fantasy but have never found to have happened

[valid thunder]

Era 3 is the one which really interests me

[sage remnant]

but idk if even Brando could do it well

[valid thunder]

Oh also isnt era 4 supposed to the culmination of cosmere

Ig i will have to read era 2 anyways

[sage remnant]

era 5

[brave orbit]

||Considering you like Lift I would think u would love era 2, cuz Wax and Wayne are similar|| character mentions (SA and Era 2)

[sage remnant]

the reason I like that character might not be what you think it is

Mistborn era 4 is || Scadrial vs Roshar || Mirio

[brave orbit]

Not personality?

[valid thunder]

💔

Gaddamn

[brave orbit]

Era 5 if he makes another era like era 2

[limber urchin]

There's gonna be a Mistborn era 4 and 5?!

[sage remnant]

|| Lift character has more depth packed compared to the limited page time that she has. || Stormlight fed

[sage remnant]

yes

[limber urchin]

How fast does he plan to write?!

[sage remnant]

it's like Jojo Parts Buffy

uhh 2070

idk just kidding

[valid thunder]

One of them is gonna conclude cosmere. You would think that would happen in tsa

[shrewd sigil]

hes always been iffy on whether he'll have time to write era 4 tho

with the live action I wouldn't be surprised if he decides not to write it

[limber urchin]

I know he's a commercial kind of guy that produces max quantity but damn

[sage remnant]

he's gonna be another grrm...

who cares about adaptation that's gonna be mid anyway

and bring in bad fans

[limber urchin]

just churning out slop smh /s

[valid thunder]

I always wonder what he would produce if he slowed down

[worthy crypt]

I was on this rant yesterday but an imperfect ending is vastly superior to an unfinished story

[sage remnant]

yeah I had read it

I don't really agree but it's a valid sentiment

[limber urchin]

in 4 years time you'll be on this server chatting about the LA Mistborn with moms, grandmas, and sportsbros who only consume sports and nothing else but LA Mistborn

[sage remnant]

nah

[brave orbit]

2029-2031 era 3
2032-2042(?) Stormlight with Mistborn era 4 inbetween
2043-2045 Mistborn era 5

[sage remnant]

I feel like I'll just stop reading fantasy at this point Buffy

[brave orbit]

I guess smth like this

[limber urchin]

So much time

[sage remnant]

I have disliked more stuff than I have liked recently

[limber urchin]

Time to consume biographies by ghost writers

[tawny grotto]

So much to read

[valid thunder]

Even if the imperfect ending goes against the themes the series tackles before it ?

[worthy crypt]

Imo an unfinished story should be treated as the worst possible ending

[tawny grotto]

Should I read Mistborn or finish Stormlight first

[brave orbit]

Up to u

[shrewd sigil]

where are you in stormlight

[brave orbit]

Doesnt matter rly

[valid thunder]

Hmm idk have u read vagabond

[worthy crypt]

I have not.

[obsidian basalt]

read it it's peak

[tawny grotto]

Book 1 and I couldnt read for a while because my book was missing a few pages 💀

[brave orbit]

Mistborn is shorter so you could read it inbetween

[worthy crypt]

But I'd it's unfinished it very well could be that bad ending that goes against the series themes

[obsidian basalt]

midborn....

[shrewd sigil]

[north sun]

I don’t think Fed will like Malazan

[shrewd sigil]

yeah it's up to you, stormlight would probably be better tho since its the stronger book

[brave orbit]

Why not

[obsidian basalt]

this would never happen to a pirating warlord like me

[tawny grotto]

Went to a bookstore and rawdogged those missing pages so now I can continue reading with my book

[brave orbit]

Also hi Archer...

[north sun]

Hey 👋

[tawny grotto]

Yeah im thinking of doing that as well atp. Like with the further books

[worthy crypt]

Wor i14 || I can respect worshipping a previous version of yourself, I dunno if he's even a bad guy. He seems to think what he's doing is necessary and I'm inclined to believe him ||

[north sun]

Idk Malazan is very hit or miss for most people imo

[obsidian basalt]

I can send you my collection of good quality stolen stormlight pdfs if you do

[brave orbit]

If its exciting and ADHD friendly its good

[sage remnant]

General fantasy/Cosmere || I am at this point I don't really care about the mythologies and lore in the sense that older fantasies generally like to indulge in. I want to see how a world which has specific fantasy aspects in its world would progress if it reaches to a world which is akin to our own in timeframe. or even better if it's space age or w/e.

Like I want to see the steps in economic development or technological development being skipped cuz due to magic being an extra resource, it doesn't need it. Like not just commodization of magic to magitech. Even just a ice magic user in 17th century would have such interesting effects due to it being essentially a refrigeration technology equivalent. Large scale food transportation and etc could be achieved.

Or just like the impact a TV production line has to make if there's Giants coexisting with humans with fairies. there has to be so much bullshit and added complexity just size differnce between them create. Just random two examples off the top of my head ||

mindless rant

[shrewd sigil]

I'm convinced the 110mb epub i have of rhythm of war has a virus hidden inside of it

[tawny grotto]

Oh yeah Fed I was typing earlier because I saw you talk about a Wheel of Time series and I didnt know that existed

Is it good 🤔 because im interested in wheel of time too

[brave orbit]

WoT S3?

[sage remnant]

RoW || it's a reason I liked what RoW did and I say that RoW Raboniel/Navani portion is just better Navani/Shallan portion from TWOK ||

[worthy crypt]

its good if youre willing to go all the way to the end

and theres like 3-4 books in the middle that are rough

[tawny grotto]

I think in english might be too hard to me but maybe I will reconsider

[brave orbit]

I loved S3 but they cancelled it, i havent read the books

[sage remnant]

I did describe to him why it's hit and miss

but also just sent him an image of || Pale siege || to hype him. GoTM

[worthy crypt]

its such a shame i saw what they were doing it seemed like they were taking steps to remove the slog

[tawny grotto]

Just WoT in general

[worthy crypt]

it coulda been great

it just needed like a couple more seasons

[tawny grotto]

I see

[tawny grotto]

Wheel of Time?

[worthy crypt]

yes

it is 14 books which is a lot

[brave orbit]

What would you say is hit and is miss Archer

[sage remnant]

fed ignoring what I said...

[brave orbit]

Alsp have you not read stormlight...

[sage remnant]

archer has

[brave orbit]

I saw

[north sun]

It’s sprawling and convoluted and does not click with a lot of people for that reason

[brave orbit]

WaT too?

[sage remnant]

that Idk

[limber urchin]

I can hear Oda sweating in the corner

[sage remnant]

he hasn't been here much since joyboy possession theory failed...

[limber urchin]

but if One Piece ended right now I'd still considered it one of the greatest stories for me personally

[north sun]

No Joyboy possession took what little whimsy I had left

[sage remnant]

Archer and Pringles

what a time that was

[north sun]

I want to read Dagger and the Coin

[brave orbit]

I dont think Cosmere will be unfinished, he already has the whole Cosmere plotted out, and Brandon is training writers himself

[worthy crypt]

malazan all but vague/general || it doesnt really converge to the same extent that is common in anime and other stories. Some characters get left behind. Its not like youd expect one piece to be where literally every single character whos ever gotten a single panel will help in final war in some small way. And it doesnt really even begin the lesser amount of converging it does do until over 50% through. Book 5 is introducing brand new characters/societies ||

[sage remnant]

I tried Dragon's Path

[north sun]

Yeah, that too

[sage remnant]

just not the kind of stories I want to read anymore

[limber urchin]

Brandon is such a plotter. I want to see him be a pantser with one story.

[north sun]

Malazan feels like a comic book lol

[tawny grotto]

Hes doing it better than George...

[obsidian basalt]

Brandon's a workaholic the things getting finished

[brave orbit]

Damn, ok

[north sun]

Also dunno if Malazan is ADHD friendly but it feels like it’s written by someone with ADHD

[modern lichen]

It came out of a DnD campaign so that tracks

[north sun]

The Expanse did too

[sage remnant]

the expanse was originally a dnd???

crazy

[limber urchin]

Yeah Brando is definitely a workaholic, at least by American standards.

[modern lichen]

Maybe that’s why the later books apparently suck

[north sun]

Yeah, at least Levithan Wakes was

[tawny grotto]

Ill not get into Malazan yet then, I have taken on enough other projects

[valid thunder]

The first book sucks the hardest

[tawny grotto]

Just at the start of Discworld and Stormlight

[valid thunder]

Book 2 is a masterpiece

And then it never reaches those heights

[worthy crypt]

you mean expanse? or malazan? The final book of malzan is amazing. and 8th book too. 9... ehhh but for good reason

[valid thunder]

Atleast till book 6

[limber urchin]

How many books in Malazan?

[worthy crypt]

10

[obsidian basalt]

when are you reading true peak (Percy Jackson)

[limber urchin]

oh my

[north sun]

Gardens of the Moon is hilarious. ||Starts as a military fantasy with a magical conspiracy then BOOM four hundred page urban fantasy.||

[sage remnant]

10 in main series

there's another series by the coauthor of the Malazan universe

[tawny grotto]

I read that actually

As a teenager

[sage remnant]

and there's a sequel series by Erikson

[limber urchin]

jezuz

[sage remnant]

less than 100 pages left to reach that...

[worthy crypt]

i remember this shit so clearly, it was so good. The crippled god

[obsidian basalt]

is there a story that's like the wheel of time but without all the things that absolutely suck about the wheel of time

[north sun]

I liked it tbh

[sage remnant]

I haven't particularly liked the way the world and magic is at this point

I am || mid Darujhistan || GoTM

the fantasy's aspects of it aren't working for me yet

others are

[north sun]

Gardens is a weird book

[brave orbit]

Stormlight?

[sage remnant]

I really liked || that I have to figure out even affiliation between countries || GoTM

really BLAME! ish

[obsidian basalt]

stormlight is my favourite story but it's not really like that

[tawny grotto]

Im gonna write one myself

[sage remnant]

adood

you are looking for uhh

licanius

[north sun]

You are expected to pick stuff up as you read. When I went back to it understanding the world and magic structures it worked a lot better. But being thrown into it can be very obtuse.

[obsidian basalt]

which is?

[worthy crypt]

i might go read malazan again when im done stormlight. i feel like id appreciate it so much more the second time

[sage remnant]

Licanius Trilogy . first book is Shadow of what was lost

[sage remnant]

the first part is what's working for me, and is not a negative

[obsidian basalt]

ok but like what is it about

but also can't imagine a trilogy fitting what I want

[sage remnant]

history spanning millenia and magic like Sanderson

[brave orbit]

I think i just like longer stories/bigger worlds, being already invested in the world helps a lot

[obsidian basalt]

unless its 3 books that are like 3000 pages

[sage remnant]

Licanius first book

[obsidian basalt]

the history isn't what I care for about wheel of time it's the characters

[tawny grotto]

Licanius ||the Augurs?? Van Augur mention ||

[sage remnant]

Licanius was very reminscient of WoT's story and lore

[obsidian basalt]

I want a story that just has you follow along a lifetime of characters

[sage remnant]

you didn't read Malazan

[brave orbit]

Uhhhh lord of the rings?

[obsidian basalt]

huh

what is waffle bluddimg about

[sage remnant]

adood

read uhh Realm of the Eldeling

it's a series of trilogy

[modern lichen]

Robin Hobb hype

Can’t wait

[north sun]

Have been reading this

[sage remnant]

Realm of the Eldering|| for multiple characters, you cover their childhood to end of their life ||

[sage remnant]

Kim Stanley Robinson

[north sun]

He’s the goat

[sage remnant]

Have you read Green Mars

[worthy crypt]

If you like stories that take place across multiple eras and dont want a long ass series, Canticle for Lebowitz is pretty nice

[sage remnant]

well that whole trilogy

[north sun]

Haven’t got to Mars trilogy yet

[sage remnant]

you should

[north sun]

I have Red Mars

It’s probably next for me

[sage remnant]

[tawny grotto]

Wait this sounds peak how is it

[brave orbit]

I think i will give Malazan a try if its character driven

[north sun]

I really like it. It’s not what I thought it would be though.

[sage remnant]

I haven't read that one by him tho. Only Mars trilogy

[north sun]

Really leans into the spiritual side of things a lot more than I thought

[valid thunder]

It is nat

[sage remnant]

I think I remember either Sanderson or Dan wells mentioning that one in their podcast

[worthy crypt]

i dunno if id say its character driven but if you give it a chance you probably will have a pretty good idea by the end of gardens of the moon whether you wanna continue

[sage remnant]

Have you read the manga Silver Triangle?

[worthy crypt]

idk how i would describe it? World driven? plot driven? what are my options lol

[sage remnant]

Not really same but overlapping ideas. Only 1 volume so would recommend to give it a try

[sage remnant]

so far I'd say it's world driven

[worthy crypt]

yeah i feel like it cares the most about being true to its world

[sage remnant]

but like with chance of being a really great character driven story

in like idk

8, 9 or 10th book

like building up to a good catharsis

but one that requires more from the reader

that's what I feel the intention from what I have read

[obsidian basalt]

is midborn part 2 good btw

[worthy crypt]

characters do disappear for multiple books in a row, if you really love one or two characters you might be disappointed in that

i liked era 1 more but era 2 is still pretty good

[sage remnant]

you mean era 2 adood?

@shrewd sigil likes it a lot

[obsidian basalt]

that probably kills it for me I'm an agenda reader

[obsidian basalt]

yeah

[sage remnant]

general cosmere fan don't like it

but general cosmere fan don't like RoW too

so given that, you would probably like it

[obsidian basalt]

not really sure how you could be a general cosmere fan and not like rhythm of peak

but alas

[worthy crypt]

another spoiler to be extra safe but more vague / general discussion mistborn era 2 || the thing i disliked the most is the presence of elements that felt like they had no proper justification to be in this specific story but are being put in here so sanderson can build up his deeply interconnected cosmere ||

[sage remnant]

so TLM

[north sun]

Haven’t

Good?

[sage remnant]

Yes

and it's only 1 volume

and if you want a more credible source, it was Juba who initially recommended it to me

[shrewd sigil]

1 for 2

[sage remnant]

hmm?

[young compass]

have you read the mars trilogy?

it's really good

[shrewd sigil]

they're right about row and wrong about mistborn era2

[sage remnant]

he hasn't juba

already recommended to him 😎

[north sun]

Not yet it’s on my list next though. I have Red Mars.

[young compass]

im quite a fan of alt history stuff but personally never got around to years of rice and salt. will probably read it this year actually

[sage remnant]

what did you think of Man in High castle again

I forgot

[young compass]

ehh

i enjoy alt history stuff*

*that isnt about germany winning WW2

[sage remnant]

that made me laugh out loud juba

[worthy crypt]

you might like poppy war as alt history. Though I found it frustrating as it went on

[jolly ruin]

WoR I-4 || I usually dislike interludes unless they are Szeth, but this one threw me off with a parshendi interlude DAMN. I liked the shoe maker story, he seems to be another surgebinder?, and I like Rysn, can’t wait for her to be involved in the story in some way shape or form ||

[sage remnant]

It's been done to death hasn't it

[young compass]

stories like that are vehicles for boring critique imo

it's been done to more than death

[young compass]

yeah I didn't like this one actually

i read it somewhat recently

[sage remnant]

damn you actually read it

and you didn't tell me????

[young compass]

did you recommend it to me?

[sage remnant]

no

I recommended Babel to you as a joke

[young compass]

i have a friend really into babel lol who recommended it to me

[sage remnant]

cuz of its lack of subtlety

and wanted to see you lose your shit over it

[worthy crypt]

poppy war all || it started with such promise but it just like.. didnt trilogy well. It throws away previously established things to pick up new things rather than just building up the previously established things. Also Rin is increasingly frustrating over tiem ||

[sage remnant]

did you realize it being || story of Mao || juba. Poppy war

well you probably did

[young compass]

ill actually write you a review today

[sage remnant]

oh wait it was Yellowface

[worthy crypt]

im not sure if its meant to be positive or negative portrayal? Id guess negative but maybe thats just my biases

[sage remnant]

I lost the opportunity of watching you hate on a Kuang book

😔

[worthy crypt]

poppy war all || its not at all hard to believe that rin might cause a great famine if she were allowed to continue ||

[young compass]

ill probably never read yellowface, even my babel friend doesnt like it

[sage remnant]

quality aside, her approach to writing is just like on the other end of the spectrum from what you like

[sage remnant]

WoR I-4 || Ym my beloved ||

||dude didn't want anyone to have to walk shoeless ||

[obsidian basalt]

mistborn 3 || probably the best moment of the book so far ||

[sage remnant]

yes

[brave orbit]

WoR I-4 ||Eshonai ||

[valid thunder]

damn the bear is ending with s5

i havent watched since s2

might be time for a rewatch

[obsidian basalt]

mistborn 3 || it's not clear to me how ruin could affect the world to the point of changing text and could talk with the lord ruler at all times - and we know hes aware of the things surrounding the people he talks to as he reacts to them - and yet did not see where the atium was put ||

[raw gate]

Totally unrelated but that convo in this channel last night, which I just got done reading, was very funny. Thank you all very much

[lone bay]

Tokyo drift

I’ve been seeing a lot of these and they’re all hilarious

[rich meadow]

Damn they really offered James Bond to Aussie fuck

[mild seal]

who's Aussie fuck

[limber urchin]

Cunk has been cast as Bond

[rich meadow]

Guy in recent Wuthering Heights movie

[mild seal]

no idea who that is

[tawny parcel]

Jacob melordie or whatever

I think

[obsidian basalt]

mistborn 3 close to end || Im pretty sure, though not entirely, that this is the first story I've ever read in which the main character dies (completely dies, no coming back no ghost form or shit like that, no nothing) (and yes I know there's a million of these stories but I have not read a million books)||

[limber urchin]

Jacob M'Lordie

[obsidian basalt]

mistborn 3 end || Im ngl if there was ever an ending that didn't require literally any follow up it was this one, why the fuck are there gonna be like 10 more books. like theres no longer even mists what are we doing ||

[jolly ruin]

WoR 18 || “who were you protecting?” Damn syl that line was fire ||

[worthy crypt]

wor 78 || Ive always been a dalinar is doomed believer but I think he's especially doomed. shalan doomed him by telling him about her powers. and the amaranth conflict was resolved so hes no longer needed for that. and navani has bonded with shallan so shell be less utterly destroyed if dalinar dies. and adelin has bonded with kaladin so dalinar is no longer necessary as a friendly itermediary. and theyre starting to encounter storm form parshendi. and it would be tragic for moash to kill the king excepting to crown dalinar just for him to die instead. ive always been a dalinar doom believer but hes never been more doomed than this moment ||

|| also he got confirmation of his visions in his conversation with shallan, another thread neatly tied up. Man is quickly running out of threads, its dire ||

[tawny parcel]

WoR|| what did you think of the adolin duel scene ||

[worthy crypt]

wor || im glad he didnt just 4v1 that would have annoyed me. Kaladin was excellent in that chapter. Even renarin, though he didnt do much, having the courage to even try was great ||

[sand cypress]

mistborn 3 end || mistborn era 2 takes place after a time jump with brand new characters ||

[sand cypress]

peak

[tawny parcel]

WoR ||I’m a sucker for the hype moments and aura…i think this book was when adolin became my favorite.||

[tawny parcel]

I finished the blade itself

Started before they are hanged today

[worthy crypt]

wor || kaladin is still my favorite. Even in that hype moment for adolin its much more so a hype moment for kaladin ||

[sand cypress]

Good job hell yeah

[sand cypress]

The blade itself || say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a killer ||

Did you ever finish 20000 leagues under the sea wombat

[tawny parcel]

WoR ||kaladin is also amazing in that chapter that whole section is just peak. Adalyn becomes my favorite on for a little couple other reasons no spoilers though.||

[tawny parcel]

No lol i plan to go back and finish it sometime though

[sand cypress]

I'm reading it now. About halfway through. It's good

[tawny parcel]

Tbi ||that chapter was so good, especially with the one chick whose name I’m forgetting. I still think the most surprising chapter was the West chapter. I’m just glad Logen got something to do at the end besides stand around||

[sand cypress]

tbi || Ferro. Yeah those two together are awesome indeed Agreed about West, that chapter with him and Ardee was rough Was not expecting that at all. Keep reading, each book just gets better and better ||

[tawny parcel]

Tbi ||ya ferro is one of my favorite characters shes like logen where its fish out of water b it she just doesnt give a fuck about social norms and is willing to beat up anything and everything. But its so clear just how fucked up Ardee is its very sad. That chapter was probably the scariest in the book because till that moment west is kinda viewed at least amongst everyone else as one of the more normal ones and then one partially overly stressful day sets him over the edge and he just beats ardee. Its horrifying. The worst part is her reaction its not a fighting back or scream or anything like that its just cold. Its really fuckin depressing man ||

[sand cypress]

tbi ||first law is the quintessential grimdark fantasy series ||

[sage remnant]

Mistborn sequel trilogy are like Jojo parts

also book 3 is basically just as good as the first two you're a hater

[sage remnant]

Book 2 >>>> Book 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Book 3

[sage remnant]

take like part 3 and 4 than 1 and 2

[obsidian basalt]

I dropped early part 2 idk

[obsidian basalt]

I would agree if the book ended 550 pages in

but it doesn't

@sage remnant what are your issues with the book

[sage remnant]

Bad plotted, structural issues, everything with execution of || Sazed's character arc || HoA

No PoV except ||Spook's|| really worked for me

[mild seal]

ep5 of x-men 97 always gets me...

kinda makes me wanna read the comics

[limber yoke]

good order

book 3 isn't that bad tho

[sage remnant]

let me spew chaos before I leave

Book 1: 3.25/5
Book 2: 4/5
Book 3: 0.5/5

[limber yoke]

lmao

[obsidian basalt]

0.5 is diabolical

I think I have it like 3.8 4.2 3.8

[brave orbit]

Stop the cap

[sage remnant]

It's an opinion...

[brave orbit]

A WRONG one

[sage remnant]

shut up man

[young compass]

stormlight?

[shrewd sigil]

mistborn

[sage remnant]

Mistborn

OB is among my fav books ever lol

[young compass]

you were almost correct...

[sage remnant]

Idc man
I am very critical of stuff anyway. I am already right 😎

give me you a crazier take Juba

[brave orbit]

Have you read Rhythm of war

[sage remnant]

Until my reread of Poppy War in late 2024, I would put that series over TWOK

[young compass]

we even talked about it

[brave orbit]

O

[young compass]

though it was like 4 years ago

[brave orbit]

Well thats the best stormlight book...

[young compass]

i probably wouldnt agree with myself

it was my least favorite at that time

[brave orbit]

Have you read Wind and Truth

[young compass]

no

[brave orbit]

Dont think you'd like it knowing your complaints lol

[sage remnant]

Juba have you read Kushiel's Dart

since we are talking about fantasy slop

[young compass]

no lol

[sage remnant]

why's the lol

are you familiar with it

[young compass]

isnt that basically softcore

[sage remnant]

if you consider ASOIAF softcore

[young compass]

i havent read it so idk but i heard it was like

an actual plot element in dart

in asoiaf it's just like

perverted stuff

bc grrm is a weirdo

[sage remnant]

yeah it's more plot element as || the MC is a seductress courtesan doing the political maneuvering due to her station || Kushiel's Dart

[young compass]

yeah that sounds like softcore to me loool

[sage remnant]

I would consider softcore when it like

idk doesn't serve a function?

and is just there

[young compass]

softcore is when it IS the function

and the narrative is based around it

like any romantasy book with sex scenes

[sage remnant]

ah

[young compass]

where the function is to get women with autism off

sorry that's probably raunchy they're too popular now

[tawny parcel]

When do you think it becomes talking about the sex

[young compass]

when the book is about a courtesan who has sex with people

[tawny parcel]

Or like, integral to the plot

[sage remnant]

It's primary a political fantasy whereas like romantasy are just set dressing to further the spice and sex

[young compass]

when the story advances through sex

either as a cathartic element like romance stories

or as a themed thing like a courtesan story where she has sex with people to advance the plot

and the sex is gratuitously detailed

this is just hearsay once again i havent read kushiel

[tawny parcel]

Mnnnn…,words 🤤

[sage remnant]

I think there's a stark difference between romantasy and it

in just the nature of how it treats that plot device

but if those both fall under same umbrella, then well I'll take it

[young compass]

it's different

i agree

i think i would even call kushiel more like softcore

the other stuff is closer to straight smut

[tawny parcel]

Have you read intermezzo juba

[young compass]

no

[sage remnant]

a os comparison to get your classification right juba

[tawny parcel]

Ah

Shouldn't it be Xmen '26?

X-Men 97 - || its set in 97 post the original X-Men tv show ||

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 ||Up to chapter 25|| ||For the first one, I'm guessing it's just a hallucination Spook is seeing, but I am keeping my eyes open for any other Kelsier details that pop up. As for the second passage, not a fan of the defeat of the Lord Ruler being manipulated by a subtle fate of sorts set up by Ruin - kind of takes away from the agency of the main characters. ||

[sage remnant]

I mean

Mistborn book 3 || this has been the case ever since first book? ||

but it's a huge RAFO

|| just remember that this main series doesn't really take away any emotional catharsis of earlier book so hence the rafo on that one. Just didn't nail any until the end for me but I am in the extreeeeeme minority in this ||

also since you are already this far into it

Mistborn Book 3/Stormlight all || Compare what Ruin was doing to Marsh in prologue to what Odium did to Moash in book 4 ||

[broken fossil]

House of the Dragon season 3 teaser || https://youtu.be/i6w7O1kwuBk?si=mPqIJc-nvxNQWCUz||

[foggy rain]

X-Men 97 Latest ||It probably means nothing, Season 2 is coming this summer, so I don’t really expect any announcements or news on it ||

[frank rivet]

[sage remnant]

😔

Well regardless Mistborn 3/Stormlight all || Compare the way Marsh has some semblance of himself and then loses it and compared that with how Moash is during entirety of RoW and during after Navani's first ideal once he loses his Connection to Odium ||

[limber urchin]

it's all a distant memory with him

[sage remnant]

😔

[limber urchin]

i'll have to wiki it

[sage remnant]

Probably my top 7 character

[worthy crypt]

Wor 81 || the last day is an ominous chapter name. I'm gonna have to stop like 10% in to work though ||

[modern lichen]

What is Ryan Condal even doing with this fucking show

HoTD ||bro is telling an entirely different story about a whole other set of characters from Fire and Blood, it’s so bad ||

[limber urchin]

WAT all ||Raboniel, Kaladin, Shallan, and Dalinar will go to the top of my list any day. Maybe Taravangian, too.||

[sage remnant]

WaT || Raboniel and Navani are great too. Just didn't make the cut||

[limber urchin]

WAT all ||Yeah I should have Navani up there too||

[broken fossil]

HotD s2/s3 ||i heard they essentially made s2 a filler season and s3 should jump back on track but that interview with GRRM didn’t make me too hopeful lol||

[jolly ruin]

Yea lowkey I don’t really care about any of the HotD characters

It’s an aura and hype moments show now

[worthy crypt]

im tired of hearing george complain

if he wanted the main series to be faithful to his vision he shoulda finished that vision

and if he wanted more control over these other series he shoulda negotiated that, theyre his ip

[sage remnant]

I think for the latter, its breach of trust sorta thing?

Despite the contract, there seems to have been idk trust of George that they would trust his vision and input that they didn't?

[worthy crypt]

how is a 77 year old man so naïve

[sage remnant]

I am just speculating

also doesn't fit with the type of stories he writes lol

[worthy crypt]

i know from the world book and wikis and stuff but i couldnt read fire and blood i found the style to be so boring

[sage remnant]

Anyway book to screen adaptation is difficult than idk manga to anime so I don't think we could get one that can be extremely faithful and satisfactory

[limber urchin]

Isn't Fire and Blood done? It's on the showrunners if it turns out bad for the most part, unless George gave them terrible advice

[modern lichen]

george is not naive, he doesnt actively interfere in the shows being made and the stories being told but he has a lot of input on whatever goes on in them as per the involvement of the showrunner, condal broke that trust with season 2 and season 3 and completely ghosted him

[sage remnant]

loTR and HP are wonderful adaptations m, but even they are much different at times

[modern lichen]

condal didnt take any of george's advice or ideas to flesh out the show

HP as well is not that great an adaptation

except for prisoner of azkaban

[worthy crypt]

im saying if he really cared about that he shoulda had greater creative controls in his contract negotiations

[sage remnant]

Ye but in the realms of fantasy and scifi adaptations

[worthy crypt]

if he was relying on a handshake trust then he is being naive

[modern lichen]

its not handshake trust lol

idk if you know how tough it is to make a TV show with material directly supplied by the author

[worthy crypt]

if they can just ignore his input then he doesnt have any proper contractual/legal control

or hes not execerising it, jsut complaining about it

its a george L regardless

[sage remnant]

With the success of GoT, he could have negotiated for idk a Oda like or Sando like contract

[modern lichen]

he

what the

he's an older man than both of them

[brave orbit]

Stormlight up to RoW character list

||Kaladin

Wit

Shallan
RABONIEL
Lift

Jasnah
Dalinar
Adolin
Syl

[sage remnant]

Nice list

[brave orbit]

I think after WaT ||Adolin and Szeth will end up going up||

[sage remnant]

You aren't liking || Todium Interludes? || WaT fed?

Among the best part of the book imo

[brave orbit]

WaT ||I love him as a concept and it's very well executed, tho he is not very fleshed out as a character so far. I may be wrong tho||

[sage remnant]

I mean I would expect he would have had legal advisors who deal with this tho

[brave orbit]

Oh I forgot

Added them

[tawny grotto]

And even then people were complaining a lot about somethiing that was missing

But yeah id say starting with Goblet of Fire a lot started to be missing from the books

[sage remnant]

|| Eshonai over venli... || WaT

...

[worthy crypt]

yeah idk hes a millionare hire some lawyers. Or if it is jsut impossible to make it with an amount of creative control hed be happy with, then dont make it. Or just accept its a different thing and let them do their own thing.
The thing i find annoying is complaining about it all the time when he had plenty of power and ability to avoid the situation he finds himself in

[brave orbit]

||She is ok|| WaT

[modern lichen]

he has explained himself as not being as young to work on the show and to maintain that degree of control, he willingly does leave it to the showrunner but even then, HOTD sucked ass with season 1 so idk what changes here

its a really bad show that's only made popular by idiots who like shipping

[brave orbit]

I thought ppl liked HOTD

[modern lichen]

they do

[worthy crypt]

people do its fairly successful

[sage remnant]

I found half of s1 good

The second half started losing me

cba for s2

[brave orbit]

Matt Smith carried...

[modern lichen]

most of the discourse and fanbase is ruled by shippers and rabid fandoms that popular shows get

even matt smith couldnt do much in s2

[sage remnant]

tbf Fed
He really did in s1

[modern lichen]

s1 he had some stuff that carried a lot of the show

paddy considine as well

really horrible show

now its completely gone off the rails into fanfiction nonsense territory that apes on GOT's structure

[sage remnant]

For me the first 3-4 episodes had given me the enjoyment of first few seasons of GoT

in also the authenticity of set designs, the performance

Which one was the || Matt Smith fight in an island || HoTD s1

[limber urchin]

I liked season 1, but 2 drops the ball for me a bit, I think in the pacing department?

I don't hate it though

[modern lichen]

the pacing is dogshit yeah

[sage remnant]

That whole sequence was 🤌

[modern lichen]

that's season 1

[sage remnant]

I mean ep

[tawny grotto]

We dunno bro

[sage remnant]

Ik

Don't always expect replies lol

[modern lichen]

episode 3

[sage remnant]

Seeeee

Harsh knows

[brave orbit]

Brandon is already 10% in the mistborn screenplay 💀

[obsidian basalt]

its funny i couldn't tell you who my second favorite stormlight character is

wouldn't be able to tell you who's even in the competition

[brave orbit]

Because they arent memorable?

[obsidian basalt]

wouldn't say taht

[brave orbit]

Cuz cap

[sage remnant]

Midborn screenplay

[obsidian basalt]

i would say its because i'm not attached to them that much

but also that's not really true

[brave orbit]

I feel like its gonna be much better than the book

He learnt a lot as a writer

[obsidian basalt]

idk i'm not sure how well the story transfers to a movie

[sage remnant]

Doesn't mean he would write a story that might work more for me

[obsidian basalt]

its a story that kinda depends on character's perception and thoughts

[sage remnant]

I don't think the things that would make me like Mistborn more could be done in Movie

[brave orbit]

I think he would execute it better nowadays

[sage remnant]

ie || giving the crew more characters and stronger presence || Mistborn

[limber urchin]

I wanna see an alternate universe where Brandon is at his peak in the 1980s, but then we introduce him to cocaine. Imagine the possibilities.

[sage remnant]

A movie would have to cut stuff from even || Lady Valette || Mistborn

[brave orbit]

I think he wanted to do the opposite lol

[sage remnant]

I don't understand

[brave orbit]

Merge some of the characters

[sage remnant]

Then you say make him write horror in alt universe

[sage remnant]

See would be even worse for me

[brave orbit]

He already talked about what he was changing in the movie version

[limber urchin]

Brandon in the 1980s with cocaine just becomes Stephen King.

[sage remnant]

Him growing as a writer is already making a book I liked enough into a story I would hate

[sage remnant]

Yeah that was what I was going at

[limber urchin]

ah that's what I thought you might be doing

i'm so smart

[obsidian basalt]

i need the midborn movies to just be the most popular thing ever so the stormlight show actually gets made

[sage remnant]

I am not very keen on wanting adaptations

[brave orbit]

Well technically stormlight is already included in the deal

[obsidian basalt]

i know but could easily see midborn flop and the whole thing falls apart

[sage remnant]

I am satisfied by fan animations which are actually good

Than a Brandon Sando vetoed adaptation which would suck

cuz I won't trust that hack

[obsidian basalt]

ragebating for no reason in big 26...

anyway fan animations are only for aura and hype moments

and that's not really the point

[tawny grotto]

I just wanted to bait

[sage remnant]

I don't like OPLA and it was the creator vetoed adaptation and that creator is also.a hack

[obsidian basalt]

opla is ass but also i trust brandon much more than oda

Cosmere is the Anime Book series

i also an weeaboo trash and want stormlight anime though

Don't give him my position

Stormlight 2 end ||Brandon, give me anime Szeth vs Kaladin and my soul is yours.||

[sage remnant]

i spent half a year setting my position as that

but its still really good

[brave orbit]

[obsidian basalt]

one can always dream

Wow this is cool

[sage remnant]

Better than any mid LA could be...

[valid thunder]

The studio which did arcane should pick up tsa

Avengers infinity war but its Cosmere

[limber urchin]

Bro, seeing this shit in theaters. 🥹

[brave orbit]

They going bankrupt dealing with arcane i doubt they doing stormlight lol

[tawny grotto]

Sorry, wasnt here for that and Adood calls it Midborn every time

[valid thunder]

Damn

Its such a popular show too

[obsidian basalt]

fed is right tho that the existence of lotr proves the theoretical ceiling for stormlight la is generational

[tawny grotto]

icl I wished this for Skulduggery Pleasant

Better

Better than midborn or Stormid adaptation

It would look like cgi spaghetti

[sage remnant]

But nor OB

[brave orbit]

OB could

Its literally taken from a liveaction movie already lmao

[sage remnant]

Meh

[valid thunder]

After twok they will definitely run into problems with making it look good within budget

[sage remnant]

That was writtrn much before IW man

What is fed smoking

[obsidian basalt]

are we assuming there's no budget?

[sage remnant]

Just do anime man

ez

[valid thunder]

I cant think of any la rn which would be comparable to a hypothetical tsa one. Lotr is not a good comparison because it doesnt have a hard magic system.

[sage remnant]

You could consider Avatar ...

It's not animation...

[valid thunder]

I havent watched avatar tbf

But ur saying it would take

James cameron to

Do it justice ...

[obsidian basalt]

don't think the magic system is really an issue

its very simple to convey in a visual medium

[sage remnant]

I am a adaptation doomer in this case

[brave orbit]

I swear to god i saw somewhere that Brandon gave tips on the infinity war plot structure

[sage remnant]

He ain't big man...

Your naivety surprises me

[valid thunder]

Iw wouldnt be so peak then

[brave orbit]

I swear i saw this somewhere

[obsidian basalt]

goro there are good adaptations

even great ones

[tawny grotto]

no that was Speed

[sage remnant]

None except LoTR...

And maybe HP

but both of them are a different case

[modern lichen]

LOTR adaptation maintains the soul of the original even with how different its adaptation is in tone and pacing

[brave orbit]

I just want cinematic epic fantasy cavalry charge

They can fuck up the rest

[sage remnant]

Don't really care about that

[brave orbit]

🙏

[obsidian basalt]

i think at the end of day it'll probably come down to the tone

like i believe they will get a budget big enough for shit to look good

[brave orbit]

They also can get Brandon to pitch in some $$ for pre-production

Removes risk from Apple

[sage remnant]

....

😭

[brave orbit]

He is already writing the screenplay and seeking talent himself so

Its nothing but still

[limber urchin]

in one of his classes explained the Infinity War plot structure because the writers or someone explained it either to the public or him.

[limber urchin]

[copper phoenix]

2 spirited 2 away

[obsidian basalt]

peak....

[main lion]

we wouldnt have gotten howls moving castle... ponyo... the wind rises... the boy and the heron....

the last 20 years of ghibli films wouldve just been spirited away...

[obsidian basalt]

peak....

anyway i do think there's more value in extending a story than people often make it seem

telling a story in a world that's already well known to the audience with characters and events they remember either positively or negatively has massive advantages

[main lion]

the massive advantages is that you get to ignore flaws because at least you're seeing your fav characters again

ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease is a terrifying illness

[brave orbit]

@sage remnant WaT ch 63 ||The plot with Renarin and Rlain trying to figure out the other ppl in the visions and Renarin getting to play the Herald without the social anxiety/austic traits (?) getting in the way is peak.. also Dalinar not recognising his fiddling unlike Rlain bc Dalinar wasn't present in his childhood is great||

[frank rivet]

HEAT

[lone bay]

[sage remnant]

WaT 63 || Calculating the impact that is needed and having the successive lashing for it and starting that successive lashing from the needed distance||

my man

his POV is so fun

[foggy mirage]

I'd say its worth a watch tbh

[sage remnant]

is it more Wanted like or more The Gray Man like

[foggy mirage]

If you mean quality wise

More like wanted

[sage remnant]

then it's good

cuz The Gray Man was so disappointing 😭

[foggy mirage]

Gray man was a mess ngl

[sage remnant]

wasted ryan goshling

[brave orbit]

@sage remnant WAT CH 63 ||"ONLY ONE WAY FORWARD" PEAAAAAAAAK ||

[sage remnant]

WaT || every single one of them had me crying 😎||

[tawny grotto]

Me frequenting #western-series to see all the spoiler tagged Stormlight messages that I cant open for the next 5 years

[sage remnant]

its just the recent person reading it
and me

@limber urchin progress report

[brave orbit]

@sage remnant did u not read sunlit man

[sage remnant]

why would I read Mid

[brave orbit]

The stuff i read was pog

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 and all of Stormlight ||Into Act 2 somewhere|| ||Nothing much to report other than Sazed and Breeze and Allriane having finally arrived to the city that Spook is in, and Spook is trying to understand if he really saw Kelsier or not, then he heard Kelsier again in his head. I'm now theorizing Kelsier has obtained the shard that belongs to Preservation - a metaphor for him preserving his own life. That probably doesn't make much sense though since you usually have to be alive to do such things (like how Taravangian killed Rayse and took the power of Odium). Other than that, just Vin and Elend planning to siege the city they're at either by force, assassination, or diplomacy; and now Elend knows Ruin can read thoughts and must just trust Vin going forward. And they are still working out the number 16 (really odd number choice WTF Brandon???)||

[sage remnant]

why

for the last part

[limber urchin]

Mistborn book 3 ||16 is not an important number in my eyes. Usually it's number like 1, 3, 7, 10, 25, 100. 3 is very important biblically for example, lucky number 7, and everyone feels that 10, 100, and divisions of them like 25 just feel nice.||

this is some Oda shit

[sage remnant]

Buffy...

[limber urchin]

Lulusia

[sage remnant]

you are forgetting stormlight stuff

😭

[limber urchin]

16 lasers

yes i am

Stormlight all ||Are there 16 shards? what am i forgetting?||

[sage remnant]

yes

that's what you were forgetting

[limber urchin]

ah the alzeimer's has not won yet

[sage remnant]

well that's not an answer or anything, cuz that's the only connection I could make

[limber urchin]

then it's RAFO right?

[sage remnant]

which wasn't really any conclusive

but at that point another of my thought was

which is again not really spoilery

Wind and Truth all/Mistborn book 3 || Tanavast/Honor had the number 10 ||

[limber urchin]

oh i see

[sage remnant]

Wind and Truth || 10 surges. 10 Heralds. 10 orders of Knights Radiants ||

[limber urchin]

fine, i'll accept that it's at least consistent with Brandon's cosmere lore

[sage remnant]

but other than that, it's a big rafo

[limber urchin]

Mistborn ||are there gonna be more important 16s? 16 Mistborn in the final battle or something?||

[limber urchin]

I don't think I ever paid attention to this at all

[sage remnant]

also now @shrewd sigil read Buffy's above message and

Not Safe for Buffy

Mistborn all/Stormlight upto RoW/ Mistborn Secret History/ Cosmere all || DUDE GUESSED IT SO WELL. The major plot point and cathartic moment of Mistborn secret history ||

[sage remnant]

there's some "focus by elusion" sort of thing Brandon did to this

Like || in Oathbringer, when Dalinar asks 10 powers or smth, and Stormfather says only 9 for Odium side and doesn't clarify || Stormlight all

[tacit basin]

Not yet. Waiting til next Wednesday when rogue #2 drops to start reading

[limber urchin]

"damn this shit mid homie" - eclippy

"what did i do?"

[limber urchin]

why did he say that?

[sage remnant]

|| Oathbringer or RoW ||stormlight all

[limber urchin]

not when, why

i'm kind of blanking on the details, but maybe I remember the scene? it's just all a blur. 5000+ pages in 4 months a year ago will do that to you

[tacit basin]

?

[sage remnant]

|| Well, he did that a lot || Stormlight all

[limber urchin]

it would be hilarious if you didn't like them clippy

that entire stack

[sage remnant]

there's maybe a reason. I don't really care about it to find out why

[wooden swift]

@fair echo this shit is so classic it doesn't even need the "Boo-urns" https://youtu.be/e5CxaWr1FTw?si=5LgfptuxNZ9ZaHr0

The fucking Ben Hur scene kills me

"Drink up, Judah Ben-Hur!"

[tacit basin]

i promise i did my research on like 90% of everything
I just wont be reading ultimate xmen

I got those for the covers only

[limber urchin]

btw slightly unrelated but all of Stormlight ||Is book 6th gonna take place while Shallan is still pregnant, or will the child be like 20 or something? is it in the future?||

[sage remnant]

Man I need a Ea-Nasir Mistborn crossover

my brainrotted brain wants that

[sage remnant]

uhhhh

[limber urchin]

none of us truly know right?

[sage remnant]

Stormlight all || iirc it's gap of 10 years. But depending on how much Shallan spends outside the bubble to inside, the kid would surely be more than 10 years ||

[limber urchin]

Stormlight all ||i forgot, did Shadesmar or going off-world have time dilation or something?||

[limber urchin]

post photos of the interior artwork when you start, i want to see it

[sage remnant]

Stormlight all || Shards combining or breaking have weird actions ||

[limber urchin]

ah

darn

[tacit basin]

I WILL

Can’t wait to bother everyone with it

[sage remnant]

Stormlight all || like we got one shard breaking information. This is now a Two shards combining part. So in both instances, it's consistent ||

[limber urchin]

Peronsally Stormlight all ||I don't really want too much time to have past, I enjoy following the characters as they currently are. But I assume Brandon knows what he's doing.||

[sage remnant]

I think that's a weird thing to always do

but like

Stormlight all || these characters are gonna have like Dalinar esque role ||

Stormlight all || with new characters being the main focus ones. Like idk Lift, heralds ||

I would expect him to not fumble yea

[limber urchin]

fuck

awwww

Stormligth all ||I'm going in cautiously optimistic, having all these characters i've come to love ripped from me will hurt a lot.||

[sage remnant]

Stormlight all || It's gonna be same, but different. We would have Kaladin, Shallan but in a different role and light. It's gonna be bittersweet when the POV just starts man ||

Stormlight all || we will have the characters, but not the POV I believe ||

[limber urchin]

[sage remnant]

seems like a proper direction
