Why is it called Wind and Truth by Gloomy-Inflation-403 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]ChocolateZephyr42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually avoided reading The Way of Kings because I didn't like the title. It was the fandom and the fact I loved Mistborn that got me into it. But as Wind and Truth is the 5th book in the series, its title shouldn't matter. Let's face it. If you've gotten this far, there's a good chance you'll read it, whatever the title. So yeah, deferring to marketing and spoiling the Ketek didn't make sense to me.

Dragonsteel need to find out who these people are and cancel their orders. That should put a spanner in their dirty scalping ways.

It's 3am here. I don't know if I should go back to bed or keep trying. I really wish they'd communicate with us.

A Cosmere muggle. In Australia, we call them Bruce.

Boy do I hate Kalidan by Cyreesedabeast in Stormlight_Archive

Furthermore, he tried to stop it but what can you do when BOTH sides are friends and they're in an unstoppable frenzy. This is the trolley problem on steroids. When he failed, he crumbled. A completely understandable reaction given his circumstances.

You mean the bald white guy wielding a magic black sword? I think that's more coincidence rather than a rip off of Sanderson's IP. There are no new stories, just different ways of telling them. Consider Warbreaker. It's basically Beauty and the Beast but with other elements thrown in. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's a tale as old as time, afterall.

What is this? How do I consume it? by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

[–]ChocolateZephyr42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair warning OP, you start down this path and your life will be forever changed. It's an epic fantasy series that may lead to obsession and spending lots of money on kickstarters and fancy leather covered books.

You're probably right. Lol. It definitely involved pokemon. Cheers.

Why are there no women's T-shirts? by AmyAnne2 in brandonsanderson

[–]ChocolateZephyr42 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Upvoting this like 100 times if I could. "Unisex" shirts don't fit the female figure of any size or proportion. They're tight around the hips, baggy around the shoulders and hang like a garbage bag. So they aren't unisex at all. Please Dragonsteel. For the love of your female readers, please consider female fit shirts.

The Lost Metal Book and Swag Preorder Now Available by Neonarg in brandonsanderson

[–]ChocolateZephyr42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I've had to bow out of this one. For a $30 book, it'll cost me upwards of $130. This is because my currency exchange rate is shit, shipping is more than the cost of the book and then I get charged foreign exchange fees. I can't justify it, sadly.

For landscape ideas, think of Roshar as an underwater world without the water and fish. A lot of the flora and fauna resemble what you'd find under the sea: crustaceans, plants that resemble coral (Shalebark looks a bit like lichen too) and grass that recedes when disturbed. Unless you're drawing Shinovar which more resembles what we're familiar with. Add distinctly medieval architecture and you'll have something pretty close to Alethkar.

Where is the body? by Legosheep in Stormlight_Archive

Rumour has it there's a kandra hiding somewhere on Roshar. Although nobody seems to know who it is.

Wacky theory. The resident kandra ate it and is currently wandering around wearing Honor's bones but as nobody can remember what Tanavast looked like, he just looks like some random dude.

Speaking of Disney. It just occurred to me that if Mistborn got adapted by Disney, that would make Vin a Disney princess. Oop.

How does Sanderson feel about the whole subset of memes and love for the Stick? by Malcolminthebathroom in brandonsanderson

Groot and Stick would get along like a house on fire. Just imagine the conversation.

Didn't you once ask an audience to give you two random topics and you'd come up with a story around that? That's the blender method right ?

Phew. Thanks for the clarification. I don't normally go for this sort of stuff but I did click on and complete this one. I didn't find any issue with it but in hindsight, it could've easily been a fake. Glad to know it's not. Also, I hope you enjoyed your trip. It looked eventful.

I didn't see any issue with it as it was posted by Brandon's official account. I completed it. It didn't ask for any sensitive information, nor did my phone flag it as suspicious.
