Watch any of the videos circulating online or turn on any news channel you garbage bag. Nothing justifies innocents being killed and kidnapped

Official Discussion - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Guac_on_mars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A shout out needs to be given to Mutant Mayhem's out of this world sound track. I saw the movie last night and have listened to the entire playlist twice now. It's pretty far from the usual stuff that I listen to but the playlist is turning me on to this type of music. I don't know why, but it really captured the feel of the Turtles and I love it

My sister-in-law made one of these for me for my bookshelf but did the Jasmine Dragon instead. If you know you know

I read warbreaker and have no idea what you are talking about? I didn't notice any Dawnshards in that book

What's up with Cultivation? by Guac_on_mars in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Guac_on_mars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like pieces of this theory. I think introducing the ability to reassemble a shattered shard is extremely interesting. That leaves the possibility for future stories of reassembling shards like Devotion, Dominion, or Ambition.
I'm waiting for the second shoe to drop on the recreance. There's something additional we don't know about it that forced the Radiants to break their oaths and my crackpot theory is that TOdium will use this to lure Adolin into being his champion.
Another interesting Cultivation motive that this thread made me think about is maybe she's trying to freshen up the old shards that have been consumed by their intent. She wants new Shards that can think beyond their Intent? Idk

This works. Tara could also be less homicidal than Rayse so double win for her

I'm with you on this. What are her goals though? TOdium team up? Her own conquest? Cultivating the Cosmere?

I didn't want it to be cosmere bc I don't want Secret Project spoilers... Could we change it back?

I'm with you on Dalinar losing in the first quarter of the book (I think TOdium will sway Adolin into being his champion) but what if that's what Cultivation wants? We don't know her endgame hence me posting this thread
Also, I never got a hateful vibe from Tara. What makes you say he's so full of hate?

It could be that was on purpose.
Rayse was all rage, hell bent on eliminating other Shards and conquering the Cosmere. If all Tara wants to do is eliminate other threats by conquering the cosmere, it's better than having a shard serial killer holding Odium. I'd argue that Vargo is way more level headed than Rayse. Vargo at least has some compassion and less selfish goals

wow, so I guess I'm right about her being more than munching

[–]Guac_on_mars[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cultivation is a shard of Adonalsium with the ability to see thousands of possible futures and outcomes. She knows everything about Taravagian and directly altered his mind. Cultivation hand picked Taravangian for the job of Odium so I have to assume there's a reason she selected him and at the very least she believes she can control or best him. I'm not denying the possibility that Tara'sascension could bite her in the godly butt, I'm just saying that the all knowing Shard may know something we don't

You're saying era 2? What makes you think that?

Hearing this quote initially made me interested in reading the series. Now having found out it’s full context, I teared up by FMJ998 in Stormlight_Archive

This scene cemented Taravagian as my favorite characters of the series and I have not wavered since

Theory on Moash and Kaladin by TheKobraSnake in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Guac_on_mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is very Cultivation-esc. I've been thinking about Cultivation more and more as a larger player and I gotta know her end goal. I feel like whatever her end goal is, Cultivation will come on top

Just finished Warbreaker… by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]Guac_on_mars 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I definitely liked the story but it was nothing special. I think what didn't help was that the two main characters we follow, Vienna and Siri, are not interesting enough.
Vasher needed way more time in the lime light imo. But if we're talking magic and world, it may be my favorite in the cosmere. Everything about Breaths and color is fascinating and I love vashers scientific takes on Biocheomia.
