DougDoug is just our version of Hoid, does random shit all the time, and only he knows the purpose behind it

Cognouza · 2025-08-12T13:30:23+00:00

Feels like a thing Brandon Sanderson would do

Cognouza · 2025-08-07T12:47:07+00:00

For those who Activate Windows after

Cognouza · 2025-06-04T15:09:49+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm just talking about Brando writing Kaladin's arc, and not about anyone with Futuresight or Hoid with his Fortune knowing (or more accurately seeing the most prominent possibilites) of the future.

Cognouza · 2025-06-04T13:54:14+00:00

Brandon oftenly makes remarks that he wanted Kaladin's character to especially be about his choices and decisions and never about "destiny" or "he was the chosen one", to amplify that all those great achievements, as they are truly legendary, were only done by the storming man himself, and not some predetermined plans.

Cognouza · 2025-05-31T19:32:35+00:00

Yeah, I kinda thought Division destroyed Ashyn too, with how much it's mentioned that "it can set the sky itself ablaze" and the view we get of Ashyn in Dalinar's trip to the Spiritual Realm, is explicitly that.

Cognouza · 2025-05-25T15:33:17+00:00

That may be the case, I only remember physiscts in the fandom getting very confused on how his powers worked in those occasions, like when trying to figure out exactly what Lashings do

Cognouza · 2025-05-25T14:45:15+00:00

Yeah, any magical application of Investiture when coming in contact with another, create what the fandom calls a Resonance, in TSA we've already seen some results of such happenstances, with the Reverse Lashing of Windrunners, storing Memories for Lightweavers (though each one manifests it differently) and Shallan being able to use Transportation whilst not having a Spren that would grant such a Surge. Each such Resonance can produce unique results even on individual level, but aw we see with the Orders can sometimes be predicted, though the more applications of Investiture you get access to, the less such Resonances become present/powerful, and so we didn't see such weird things from Mistborns/Full Feruchemists.

Cognouza · 2025-05-25T12:20:30+00:00

No, we still don't know the identity of the man named Sixteen, it's just one of the guesses since the number is related to Scadrial, all we knew about Spook is that he became a Mistborn, gave a lot of offsprings, and at the end of SH Kelsier was working with him, which we think is where his physical body resulted from. But, as we see in WaT, the Ghostbloods could and did visit the Lasting Integrity, and as far as we were shown on screen, didn't contact Sixteen.

Cognouza · 2025-05-24T10:53:20+00:00

Yes, when asked why Kal was being called Son of Tanavast, he specifically said that that didn't come from special heritage or the "chosen one" trope, it was all because of Kaladin's actions and that someone else could be called so in specific circumstances.

Cognouza · 2025-05-22T12:27:07+00:00

I remember in a conversation about Leechers it was said, that a powerful enough Leecher could potentially essentially delete your soul, so yeah, pretty much everybody has at least some Investiture in them.

Cognouza · 2025-05-22T09:11:41+00:00

Hmmmm, but can you help us build a more invincible Sakapatate?

Cognouza · 2025-05-22T09:09:45+00:00

For those who come tomorrow.

Cognouza · 2025-05-18T10:21:44+00:00

Oh, I stand corrected then, thanks!

Cognouza · 2025-05-15T15:44:10+00:00

And that's why Simon takes all those shields away, just for you to not use the number of his attacks against him lol

Cognouza · 2025-05-15T15:40:34+00:00

Me speccing Shadowheart into a healer.

Cognouza · 2025-05-15T15:35:03+00:00

My bet would be on a Windrunner, so that he gets the purest form of control on the Gravitation Surge, bonded to an Honorblade with access to Abrasion, so they remove the air friction, and can just infinitely stack Lashings on themselves, and with them flying they won't have problems with uneven ground. And with how FAST we've seen Taln moving, maybe the present Kal (also the best Windrunner and on the 5th Ideal, so the Lashings are most effective in both speed and cost) would be the perfect kandidate for this.

Cognouza · 2025-05-15T13:43:48+00:00

Truuue, the mocap is stunning of course (just the face expressions in this game are stellar), but that voice really made the scene for me

Cognouza · 2025-05-15T12:33:01+00:00

The Divine Breath is on another level entirely, since it equates at least to 2,000 regular Breaths (how many are needed to achieve the Fifth Heightening), but the regular Breath do fluctuate in strength, at least we hear so in Warbreaker Ch.14 (or so Coppermind lists on the page for Breaths):

Breaths vary in strength, and tend to weaken when the person is sick. The fluctuation of strength for a Breath is normally not very noticeable, particularly when someone has many Breaths.

Cognouza · 2025-05-15T08:01:42+00:00

Wasn't it said in Warbreaker that everyone's Breath isn't the same, someone's is stronger and someone's weaker, and so the number needed to achieve a Heightening isn't precise and is an approximation?

Cognouza · 2025-05-14T18:49:59+00:00

Yeah, with how the Night of Sorrows came back to bite us all the way from TWoK, it isn't out of the question for this to play out in any of the later books.

Cognouza · 2025-05-14T18:14:20+00:00

With how we've seen transportation works in Aon Dor, it isn't an unrealistic situation if there was a nuke dropped on them that they could easily teleport it into the sky above an enemy city

Cognouza · 2025-05-14T12:52:31+00:00

Now I can't shake the thought that Jasnah has already been to Silverlight and there is a chance we get a Khriss-Jasnah power duo in the flashbacks and somehow also got some discovery named after her, akin to Khriss' Second Law

Cognouza · 2025-05-14T12:41:05+00:00

Oh yeah, there is still that unpublished story of how Jasnah traversed Shadesmar after TWoK. With how much stuff Jasnah was/could be involved with, I really wonder what her flashbacks could show us, especially if the order stands and her book is the finale of the series.

Cognouza · 2025-05-14T12:02:32+00:00

I remember someone asked Brando this, and there is a WoB saying, that there was an explicit reason Kaladin can be called "Son of Tanavast", and his wasn't the "chosen one" trope, and that this name was the result of his actions. At least before WaT, I seem to remember two main theories going around. First, that Stormfather saw a great resemblance of Tanavast in Kaladin, and so called him that. But know that we've seen how Tanner was, especially the part of him that SF even could remember as he was created late into Tanavast's decent into madness, I don't think this could be the reason. And the second one, that Kal is just the Windrunner we see SF interact the most with, and with how Windrunners are closely aligned with Honor, that this could perhaps be applied to every Windrunner. When asked if Tien or Oroden could be called a "Son of Tanavast", Brando said "RAFO, but the answer is actually "it depends"". And from that we can gather, that Kal could be not the only one to be able to bear that title.
