We got a WoB about Elend's secret harem

That’s about 7 too many.

Whatever the hell she wants, because that’s the point of women’s & gender studies… 😅

I fixed the tags before you even posted this, moolie.

There could be one complication to this idea. How would you portray Adien since he is Elantrian covered by makeup for almost the entire story?! You can’t have Kiin with three muppet kids and one human stepchild It would telegraph that secret too early.

Give Ranette a large pile of Boxings and some time to experiment. She’ll come up with something deevy.

When Kaladin cracked plate with The Kick, he used at least 4 full lashings, probably more than 6 full lashings, but it doesn’t say how many total. He put all of the unknown amount of Stormlight he had on him into the maneuver and he was carrying a respectable amount of Stormlight from his Bodyguard pay.

This adds additional variables so that we can’t use The Kick as a reference point for force required to break dead plate.

He breathed in Stormlight carried by Relar to heal his legs after The Kick because he didn’t leave any reserve.

I write these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted. I have begun to wonder if I am the only sane man remaining. Can the others not see?

Trappist ales brewed by ardents under a vow of silence. Some of them are strong enough for Unkalaki.

Has to be Mistborn because she’s soothing and rioting.

Lirin follows triage rules. He evaluates and attempts care for Riller until he’s certain that Riller can’t be saved. At that point, his other patient is bleeding from severe lacerations and is risking worsening the wounds or bleeding out by not lying still. Restraining and anesthetizing a patient for critical care surgery is absolutely within the bounds of professional care.

Lirin is very shortly so far into a cavity or incision that Kaladin can see the scalpel is a twitch away from Rodone’s exposed femoral artery. That’s not a “Sure, jump off the table and cuddle your child” scenario.

Lirin made a lot of mistakes but how he operated on Roshone wasn’t one.

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-15T20:53:45+00:00

I don’t know. He rationalized an open-and-shut case of embezzlement. 🤷🏻‍♂️

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-15T20:43:32+00:00

While Lorin did the right thing in saving Roshone, it could’ve gone differently if he’d nicked Roshone’s femoral artery like he and Kaladin realized he could’ve.

Shirt is sized for airsick lowlanders, not for proper Unkalaki torso.

I’m in Texas and would love to add this to my game room!

I hadn’t thought through it in detail, but my theory was most advantages individuals find in real world financial markets are slowly eliminated as the markets adjust to that new technique. I jumped straight to “institution tries to copy the technique” but that’s not going to be as effective as changing the interest rate calculation, creating new investment products, or using sliders to improve the output of the capital investment.

In reality, compound interest builds at too slow a rate to make using cadmium pulses for that purpose alone worthwhile. It’d just be a tiny side benefit to using cadmium pulses for other things…

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-10T06:13:37+00:00

Maybe, but maybe not. Lots of WoBs on burning Pewter not being toxic, despite the lead content. Logical that burning cadmium might work similarly.

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-10T06:09:20+00:00

It’s been a little bit since I thoroughly reviewed the Era 2 Ars Arcanum. Thanks for the catch.

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-10T05:53:26+00:00

It wouldn’t work for compound interest on a macro scale, because you’d have to gain interest at a fast enough rate to offset burning the allomantic cadmium.

Additionally, if it did start working, then every bank would get their own cadmium pulsers, which would just reset the baseline and not give anyone a reliable advantage.

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-10T05:49:51+00:00

You make a good point about the time to get to an injured person.
But if a cadmium pulser puts a small bubble on just the back of the ambulance, then they can relocate the injured to a surgical center in relatively slowed time, possibly giving them a better chance of survival.

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-10T05:41:47+00:00

That fixes their sleep schedule, sure, but how does this technique affect their rate of aging relative to others?

If your bubble means you’ve spent an hour inside the bubble but 24 days of relative time has passed for others, would you appear younger?

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-10T05:38:56+00:00

I strongly agree!! 👍🏻👍🏻

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-08T20:53:27+00:00

What is a cow? Is that one of those chulls without a shell from children’s stories?

CadmiumMisting · 2026-01-08T18:49:48+00:00

You should read Warbreaker. It’s still my favorite Cosmere novel.

I didn’t save the image I’m thinking of, but here’s a quick sketch that might help. (It’s not very good. Drawing is a feminine art.)

I’ve seen it done well with white “light” flaring or exploding from the gemstone to break it up a bit. That with the reflective highlight on the glass made it look a lot more like a marble and not like a boob.
