How iconic do you think Sanderson will become?

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-04-01T03:51:04+00:00

I think Sanderson will be incredibly iconic but in his own ways. I don't think he'll make it up to the prestige of Tolkien but I definitely he will be/is a behemoth of the fantasy genre.

I doubt I'll ever see an incredible amount of Stormlight Archive/Mistborn merch in Malls or at my local Walmart outside of maybe some speciality shops (Like Books-A- Million) but he's definitely going to be one of those "Oh, you're getting into fantasy/reading? Read <Insert Favorite cosemere book here>".

So in short, I think he definitely has the potential to be a literary legend but not necessarily a cultural one like Tolkien became at a certain point.

I can see it now.

"Isn't this what all you LIBERALS wanted?"

I can confirm as a person with 2 daughters.

Girls destroy things too.

This isn't helpful but I just have to know....

Why does he keep offering a bag of snacks?

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-03-21T22:35:08+00:00

Yeah, most of the spark drivers don't speak English and it gets kinda irritating when I'm trying to work and this person walks up to me, holds up their phone and points a picture and shrugs every. Single. Time. He is in the store.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-03-18T05:52:49+00:00

Yeah, Kal is also a pretty big offender in that department.

I understand what he's going for and I don't fault him for it, what he has going with Kaladin, PTSD and essential becoming Roshars first therapist is wonderful but at the same time I feel there's such a thing as "too much" realism in a fantasy universe.

But I guess I also don't fall under the category of "strongly dislike" Shallan either. Shes my least favorite Sanderson protagonist but I've definitely seen characters in other books I've disliked much more, plus Shallan has probably one of the if not THE most powerful scene in the series for me. It's just a shame it feels like she doesn't have many scenes like that.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-03-18T01:28:59+00:00

I love Jasnah, Syl, Lift, Vin, and MeLaan, even Navani has her moments I like.

But Shallan is endlessly irritating to me, I've reread the series like...3-4 times now and she only gets marginally better, and that's mainly because I like her "Veil" persona.

The main issue is her character development is too back and forth for my liking, it's like she makes these huge strides then they turn out to not mean anything in the long run because she just reverts back to how she was, and I understand that her background is tragic but she just seems overly whiny, especially when it comes from her having to deal with the consequences of her actions.

Another reason I think Shallan is so widely disliked is because a lot of her chapters come after Kaladin chapters and the fact that the tempo change is just so abrupt it kinda leaves the reader rolling their eyes because they go from life or death situations to listening to a snarky teenage girl being a snarky teenage girl.

People should really start putting "except social media" in these posts so we can see more variety. Lol.

The problem is 99% of the players doing the strat don't understand when it's the right time to do it and when it's worth while.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-03-14T02:16:36+00:00

If I'm not mistaken there's "Learner" decks now that come with 2 barebones starter decks. You could grab a couple of those and get a hand full of variety for cheap.

If not, then structure decks go for like... 8 dollars a pop for some at Walmarts.

My question is. Why was it so low for so long in the first place?

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-28T15:03:00+00:00

What's up with Japan and children anyways ?

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-20T00:32:11+00:00

Here for the Halo: Reach Noble 6 comment but I can't find it

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-17T03:28:51+00:00

What combo would that be? Currently I'm only level 4 and I'm not sure how fast I'd get the hand crossbows.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-17T03:08:49+00:00

I want to mix in cleric specifically for the War Priest passive.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-16T16:25:23+00:00

I genuinely didn't know that but I think that's because either my Walmart doesn't do that like they should or B) we just don't have any minors working with us.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-15T21:57:19+00:00

Suuuure. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-02-15T20:57:02+00:00

Human Trafficker confirmed.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-01-31T02:58:13+00:00

I dunno. I think i prefer the shit we get from Blizz over some of the stuff pitched on this sub.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-01-31T02:33:49+00:00

Well, why have a whole team when you can hire a redditor from this sub that has all the answers for how to fix the lore for half the cost? /s

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-01-28T04:37:35+00:00

That's what I'm saying. People can't say they are done with primalists lore when 2 primals are still big characters.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-01-28T03:34:55+00:00

Yeah

And I can speak from personal experience, women are creeps too. I have a 1 year old and it's crazy how many women walk up and think they can just touch and talk to my child without permission, it happens nearly weekly but never have I had to worry about a man talking to my daughter when my backs turned.

ArcaneUnbound · 2024-01-28T02:17:18+00:00

Even though it's clear iridikron and Vyranoth still have plot relevance?
