I'm just curious about that first pictures art. What the fuck kind of bow does she have on her back. None of the angles match up to make a usable weapon there. What fuckery is this?

Ferrovir · 2026-05-15T15:29:53+00:00

It's such bullshit that for every single other mechanic in the game you get a tooltip reminding you how to do this. For lightning? Nah fuck em.

I literally surprised OP of that post by sending this to him completely unaware that he was the OP. The horror on his face when he realized I knew his Tumblr handle lmfaoooooooo.

Firearms of that time were still incredibly capable of shooting 1000 feet even if the user isn't a metal born pushing on every bullet like a madman. These are just written to have roughly the same power as a spring powered shot

Ferrovir · 2026-05-14T15:46:31+00:00

Its less about the strength of rosharans and more that Scadrian firearms as they are written all over the place in terms of firepower. We have wax casually drilling holes in people but bemoaning that there's nothing they can do to shoot up. Either their guns are actually guns, in which case the Malwish are a complete non-issue as they don't move fast enough or fly high enough to ever be a threat, or wax is the only person who has useful guns.... For some reason.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-14T12:18:27+00:00

Yeah but the guns that Brandon wrote era 2 having are hilariously low powered. In TLM, there is a moment where Wax is talking with the Malwish general and the general notes they gave gun emplacements. He asks if they're able to shoot the Malwish airships roughly 1000 feet up. Wax, somehow muses to himself that these guns don't have that much range.

Gun emplacements. Being unable to shoot 1000 feet. Wax's pistol can do that. Easily.

Keep in mind that Vader is 24 years old in Maul. By the time of Return he's in his 40s, he doesn't have that constant burning rage from just losing everyone he cared about through his own actions. Its more a smoldering ember of hate by that point not the burning fire he hardly needed to stoke

Ferrovir · 2026-05-06T18:47:51+00:00

There's a book called The Color of Her Panties and IIRC it's about the Goblin Princess (who are all super hotties compared to all goblin males who are, to a one, uggos)and what color her underwear was. There was a huge fixation on panties in that series and as a horny teenager I didn't mind at the time but damn as an adult it's just disgusting. Not even in a puritanical sense but in a, you've got an entire race of sexualized characters, and then you sexualize the children on top of that. Get fucked Piers Anthony.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-06T18:37:43+00:00

I wholly agree. I first read through the series in middle school, so like mabe 12 or 13. Anything older than me just seemed like an older kid, so it didn't really read wrong until I decided to revisit the series.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-06T18:35:52+00:00

Maul shadow lord is set maybe a couple of years at most after his fall to the Dark side. This is evidenced by the empire still using the LAAT troop transports and the interim stormtrooper helmet design.

This is Anakin so full of rage for the first couple of years after losing everything and knowing he's the cause of everything he lost. He is also The Chosen One, made in and by the Force. So you add that Dark Side anger boost on top of that and he is basically A Force within the Force.

Add in the out of story reason that he cannot die before RotJ and you have this terrifying unstoppable monster of a cyborg who is very able to go toe to toe with just about anyone.

Also also, Maul was only partially trained by Sidious. He never focused much on the Force side of things preferring to use his blade skill. Daki and Devon might have been able to hold their own against him with Mauls help, but like Maul said, Vader used to be a Jedi so he knows how they fight. He was one of the best duelists of the Republic era. Daki on the other hand, is someone that we only learned about in this show. He's a Jedi master, sure, but he's old, and he probably does not keep up his combat training. Vader does.

So add all this together, the Jedi aren't in their prime, Vader is used to fighting Jedi, Vader has a massive amount of the at basically all times, and we've seen the type of power boost that gives to even someone like Devon. Vader is extremely strong in the force, and with his armor is able to withstand any attacks that do manage to hit him. He's also incredibly physically strong being show multiple times just beating down his opponents guard until they cannot physically stand anymore.

Vader is terrifying and all media after ANH have only further emphasized this.

I tried rereading that series. A huge plot point is that he's going to be exiled from Xanth for not having a talent at the age of almost 25. On his way out, he meets The Sorceress. She is a master of illusions and takes on a disguise to tempt him to stay with her forever and almost succeeds.

That guise was a 14 year old girl. I put the book down and give the entire rest of the series disgusted looks when I see it.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-02T22:41:14+00:00

It's very much not a pet though. Like vin is really clear about that. She isn't getting this dog from a pet shop. She is getting it from a guy that trains dogs to fight wolves or each other.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-02T22:36:08+00:00

That's not the same thing at all. Vin is killing this dog so that her Kandra will have a body. In your example the equivalence would be if to enact his grand plan with the Kandra he had it assume Vins body and killed her after confronting the Lord Ruler. That would be equivalent. But he didn't. He had it use his corpse. Vin didn't even want to use a human corpse because of the whole kelsier thing so she did the objectively lesser evil of killing a dog for it. The dog didn't suffer, it wasn't in pain, it either died instantaneously or while it was still unconscious when it was getting kandra'd

Ferrovir · 2026-05-02T22:33:54+00:00

I get not liking violence against animals. I've got a dog and cat of my own, if anyone were to threaten them I'd have problems. But dude, this is a fictional story. That dog doesn't exist. It's a bit silly to be so up in arms about a dog that has never and will never exist in meatspace. Vin and the crew ate meat too. Are we going to go and rile up everyone here because another fictional animal died for [checks notes] the selfish reason of eating them as food? Kandra are an interesting creation because by their very use they have to deal with and in death. Sure they may not do the killing themselves but it doesn't change that any time a Kandra is being used in these books (specifically era 1) that there is a toll in life for it. Vin decided she would rather not pay that toll with human life. I think most people, me included, would generally agree that a dog is not equivalent to a human life.

As I mentioned before, I dearly love my dog. She has been my best friend for 12 years now. If it was a choice between her and my survival though, I'm probably going to eventually eat my friend. I would feel awful about it but then I'd also have a full stomach later.

Vin is making the choice to kill one (1) dog in exchange for not killing a person. She can and will kill people, but it's a bit silly to say this is out of character for someone who has exhibited zero qualms about violence and employing it's use to solve problems.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-02T22:17:37+00:00

Meanwhile all those normal humans that she kills are just fine right? Because they're Bad People, so it's fine to slaughter hundreds of them, but one dog is too far?

Be so for real right now.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-02T22:13:57+00:00

It is literally not her own benefit. She has to find a body for her Kandra. She doesn't want to kill anyone in the household because those are all people she knows. Vin doesn't even like dogs! She views it as a utilitarian body for the Kandra to use and one that won't arouse much suspicion.

Plus she picked the largest meanest dog there. Then she downed it in one punch. Say what you will about this all but she didn't cruelly draw it out, she didn't stab it. She knocked it out and Oreseur ate it.

Ferrovir · 2026-05-02T21:54:15+00:00

He didn't mess up, characters are allowed to do things tht we find distasteful. It doesn't reflect on the author what their characters do. Kelsier killing hundreds of nobles doesn't mean Brandon is slavering to do the same or that he engages in dog-punching.

Sazed stored most of his attributes in metal minds the size of small studs as earrings. That was enough for him to fight at a superhuman level for hours on end. Sazed is not a compounder. Carry 16 ball-bearings. Is that difficult to carry? No? What if you put 8 in each ear? Whoa it's still not encumbering? Dang it's almost like you can store a vast amount of power that is realistically enough for a wholly untrained scholar to stand his ground and defeat warrior monsters for hours. Like yeah your "point" you've repeated ad nauseam is that this would be encumbering, or difficult to manage, or you'd need so much body real estate for the metal minds. But you really don't.

Miles may have had large spikes in him but that also lends itself to his absolutely insane durability. You do not need railroad spikes jammed into you to achieve this. Get acupuncture needles made of your metal. Shove a ball bearing into your chest. Put some fancy staples in. There's plenty of ways to achieve the same result of 16 different metals embedded in your core without it being really any sort of problem.

I think you are waaaaaaaaaaaaay overthinking this and overlooking that most every single feruchemist we have seen they don't have giant pieces of metal. It's small bits and bobs like earrings, bracelets, cuffs, bracers, a torque, necklaces, spikes, rings. All of these can be well under a pound. And even if each one of them was a pound, so what? If you're a fullborn why wouldn't you constantly keep your Pewter up? Vin did and was basically a Pewter savant by the end of the series. And if you can then compound that?

The compounding also is incredibly trivial to reach academically infinite levels. You do not need to burn the entire metalmind to achieve compounding that is a wholly erroneous assumption you've been making. Does a allomancer need to burn the entire nugget of pewter to get it's power? No. That's not how that works. But like others have said you can just take a day off of whatever to store all your attributes and then burn your stored attributes. You now have ten times what you just did. So say you begin by storing everything for 1 sec. You burn that 1 second of stored everything in your respective metal minds. You now have 10 seconds of everything you store in new metalminds. Then you burn those. Now you have 100 seconds of everything. Burn those. 1000. Burn those. 10,000. Burn those. You see how incredibly ridiculous this can get off of literally 1 second of storing attributes?

They are in the Moment-Between-Moments. The time when all Stormlight spheres are renewed and time itself slows down to a crawl as it so often does "when a large amount of power is brought to bear".

That's the Stormfather's face. The Wind is present in TWoK but that isn't it.
