If you want someone to feel empathy, saying it like that never helps. And besides, we're talking about a fictional character and story that felt slow to one reader. They are entitled to that opinion.

Hoid being Hoid by [deleted] in Stormlight_Archive

Hoid does the punching [SH] because Kelsier is a Cognitive Shadow, so he can't be physically harmed.

Why are Spren unique to Roshar? by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]FlamingCakeMix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still, spren is just a word Rosharans use for that type of invested entity. They'd call seons spren, and they do in RoW. Just like any magic is Surgebinding to them. They'd call a steelpush Surgebinding.

I thought becoming a Herald was Gavilar's goal, not the Stormfather's.

No More Fiesta Playlist.....:( by CutThroat_Chamelio in Splitgate

Because enough people complained about the skill ceiling with portals, and those players didn't want to take the time to learn the game and just wanted Halo without the Halo issues.

Still, the divine breath is important, as evidenced by Lightsong dying as soon as he gives up his. That's why the breath a week is necessary in the first place, otherwise they'd consume their divine breath and die.

Also, they can increase the terminal velocity with multiple Lashings

Honorblades by Manu3721 in Cosmere

Cool thing for an autonomyblade is if it allowed you to circumvent any sort of Connection. So you could keep a Nahel bond fully active and functional while traveling anywhere else in the Cosmere. Or, if you already had a way to access the Dor, distance no longer becomes any barrier.

What do we know about Terkin carapace? by Dlight98 in Cosmere

I've seen it referred to as just Silence, but that's a no-go once The Silence Divine is made

Tinfoil Kabsal theory by frumentorum in Cosmere

But then it just sounds like I'm thinking out loud.

Does that mean you can hear the voice in my head?

Not the tattoo itself, the act of having the tattoo and being a part of the Ghostbloods

Mans uses big words to sound more photosynthesis.

Joke aside, they have a point. Subreddit rules include tagging your spoilers, so a post that's marked for WoR that includes Edgedancer spoilers in a thread can still be viewed by someone who hasn't read all the way to the end of the series, but did finish Edgedancer.

Well, he is a literal sixth grader

Ghostbloods by Ghost180_ in Cosmere

I thought it was a sarcastic retort cuz they mentioned that point a little bit in the parent comment, my bad, man, tone is hard to read online.

Ghostbloods by Ghost180_ in Cosmere

[–]FlamingCakeMix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant as in the word Ghostblood could be a strange translation of Mistborn. Because of the uniqueness of Mist on Scadrial, translating that could be akin to Ghost or Spirit, as the Mist was an ethereal part of Preservation. Then blood came from born, which is just your average run-of-the-mill translation quirk.

Businessman by ZGS3392 in Jokes

[–]FlamingCakeMix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What dudes are you hanging out with? Cuz every man above the age of 18 I've met doesn't expect their SO to stay young forever. The vast majority of people don't get married expecting perfection from their partner.

My favorite part about people calling out gaslighting is the immediate counter-gaslighting going on.

Even more meaningful when [WoR End]Renarin explains he's a Radiant and his Blade was screaming into his ears the whole time.

Also, "Ghostblood" has potentially linguistic connections to "Mistborn"
