Decided To Share A Small Comic Of One Of My Favorite Little Parts From Rhythm Of War In Celebration Of

Was reading on the beach when I hit the big reveal; truly next level Truman Show shit, except the actors had their memories altered? Diabolical.

Am devastated, may never recover. ~60 pages left, saving them for tomorrow.

I thought Liyun was the true villain the whole time and well… I was half right.

Prediction: Painter will paint Yumi to return her to her herself and they live happily ever after. I will accept no other outcome.

@easily-spooked got to That part of Yumi today

Master Thaidakar is very disappointed in your results, Iyatil.

Steel Alphabet from mistborn stamps

Concept: Depressing dystopian factory where everything is gray and samey and the workers are called by their employee numbers by an ominous deep voice.

But it's a really great place to work with high salaries, excellent benefits, and a flexible working schedule with plenty of paid leave. They just like the dystopian aesthetic.

every autistic person watching this episode of dungeon meshi:

Imagine if you came home to your beautiful wife and your beautiful house only to find that your wife had turned the house into a living being (a simplification), killed her wlw situationship, and invented antimatter bombs. And it barely breaks the top 5 craziest things that happened that week.

Quick Stormlight theory from a conversation with a friend

(WaT chapter 29)

This scene finally confirmed that Shallan actually went to Shadesmar physically in WoK, during the scene where she asks to be Jasnah's ward for real. At the time, Shallan explains this as her two spren pulling her into shadesmar, but later, after talking to her mother, Shallan thinks

(Wat chapter 118)

The heralds were all Surgebinders on Ashyn. We don't know how Ashyn surgebinding works, but we know that it tended to run in families (see: Shalash and Jezrien, Makibak and Nale). Lots of invested powers in the cosmere are inherited (see: allomancy, ferucmhemy, the royal locks of nalthis, whatever the fuck is happening on Threnody), so it's reasonable to guess that Ashyn surgebinding might've been inherited too. What if Shallan inherited the surge of Transportation from her mother, in the same way that a mistborn might have a misting child? The descriptions of her looking and falling into shadesmar are very similar to descriptions of Venli using Transportation.

If that's the case, then she'd likely have a resonance between Transportation and Lightweaving. That resonance would be something radiants can't normally do, because there is no radiant order with both of those surges. We know from her conversation with Kelek that Shallan's ability to see the Spiritual is not commonly found among radiants

(WaT chapter 7) I think that Shallan's ability to see the Spiritual might be a resonance between Lightweaving and Transportation. Lightweaving has a spiritual component (best seen in how Truthwatchers use it), and Transportation is used to see into Shadesmar as well as visit it. The ability to see into (and perhaps even visit) the Spiritual realm seems like a possible resonance for those two abilities, and it would fully explain all the weird unexplained shit we've seen Shallan do if that's the case. It also makes sense that, when Honor was picking the surges to grant his heralds, he'd avoid this particular combination -- Tanavast fears the Spiritual Realm (see the vorin prohibition on future sight, and Stormfather's objection to Dalinar's journey during the final 10 days), so when organizing the Oathpact, he would not have wanted heralds having this resonance.

Schrodinger's Cat is dead, but I'll see what I can do

I want a Mistborn videogame so fucking bad. The movement and fighting style would transfer so well to a videogame medium. The blue lines, the choice of what metal you'd have (oh maybe you pick one metal at the start and you can try to get through the whole game with one metal or go an Inquisitor route and start collecting more metals to use and it could entirely change how people interact with you. The more inquisitor you are, the more you get choices influenced by the lord ruler or ruin himself. It would completely change dialogue and interaction options. Oooo there could be so much), the possibility of hiding amongst the nobility. God there's so much they could do with that
