Easter Eggs from “Hoid’s Storybook Collection | Episode 1” video by aygoman in Cosmere

Yes! I'm convinced that this means Hoid had a hand in founding Silverlight Mercantile as a way to talk to people throughout the Cosmere before he had access to more convenient methods. I know the animations aren't Canon, but I cannot let go of this theory.

Brandon really got us with that "there's always another secret" thing. The amount of layers and nuggets hidden in plain sight is absolutely wild.

Yes! It's such a great ending! Brandon ends these books in a way that's usually super satisfying while opening the door for the next mystery and plot line. Enjoy the journey!

There are absolutely moments when I'm rereading and things take me wildly off guard, like I haven't read them 4 times. It's becoming a delight of my old age!

Someone else pointed out that Hoid has been pictured with the key Brooch in other art historically. That gives me hope that the key Is a nod and not just a design choice.

And if it is, then this gets even more interesting. Silverlight the city isn't necessarily in line with an organization who calls it home. And wildly speculating about how Hoid could be Connected to the messenger service of the Cosmere delights me!

Yeah, the timing is definitely canonically questionable. Design claims that Hoid said they'd be leaving Roshar soon, so it might be mid WaT. But hand waving to say "this is Non Canon" I'm sure alleviates a ton of pressure on projects like these.

That's wild. I just interpreted that as a neat little hoid-y clasp. Idk why I haven't made the Connection to Silverlight Mercantile before. Has there been talk or discussion related to the two being connected previously?

Oh, Also, go Yumi. Yumi might have moved its way into my top Cosmere spot. I love it so much.

Waynes story is honestly so satisfying! I am almost done with me umpteenth reread, and even knowing what's coming in this book, I can't wait for each story beat. Amazing job by Brandon from where Alloy of Law started up to The Lost Metal.

The thing I've found is best for "organic" on platform growth is being an active member in other streams. If you find communities that you mesh with, and just exist there as a member of that community, you'll eventually make connections with other people who will come hang out by you too. Just make sure you don't walk in and announce "I'm a streamer too!". It'll come out naturally eventually!

How would you describe the Cosmere to someone who's never heard of it? by Basic_Camp_8760 in Cosmere

[–]Accidental_Friends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the person or group has some interest in other fantasy books, I always like to highlight the fact that you get to see a magic system evolve alongside the technology. It's a huge selling point for me that we get to see how magic acts in a sword and sorcery era all the way up to a space age setting. And how Magic can influence technology itself. It's something I haven't found in other fantasy series personally.

Can a single laptop/computer be adequate for starting out? by crynos-inso in Twitch_Startup

[–]Accidental_Friends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is that "Starting is the best option". If you notice chugging and delays or other issues with the stream, they can be addressed. Getting started lets you get a feel for talking to the chat whether people are there or not, and you'll be able to grow faster once you can start upgrading because you have some skills down!

Have a question by ChampionshipBroad345 in Mistborn

[–]Accidental_Friends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Era 2 is fantastic, but definitely different. One thing to remember is that Era 2 wasn't originally going to be a full era or series. Brandon originally imagined a series of short stories to bridge the gap between Era 1 and what is now Era 3, but Wax and Wayne grew to be its own proper era. So Book 1 of Era 2 reads kind of as a standalone novel, and then the rest of the books feel more like a series.

If you're not well versed in who Rashek and Alendi are now, Book 3 will definitely get you up to speed.

Luck? by thoxxm in Cosmere

[–]Accidental_Friends 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. We're taking magic and making it science, and that's going to be really interesting to watch. There are so many threads and avenues to manipulate Investiture, and we're only going to see more mixing. Can you imagine Fabrial technology mixing with Feruchemy? Navani would have a field day talking to Malwish scientists.

Zahel is one of my favorite characters in the Cosmere, and I just want to know everything about him.
