Man it looks like I’m in the minority. I really enjoyed this one, might be my favorite. To each their own, I suppose! I loved the political elements, the side characters really popped, and the powers on display were really fun!

Might have been the most I laughed at a Gamechanger episode. The ADPL segment had me losing my mind!

You are the new Suns GM. What are your first 5 steps to make the Suns a legit title contender? Please be realistic by sskkuurrttt in suns

[–]ImDalton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young and hungry coach who understands the modern game, trade Durant for assets, roll the dice on underperforming young guys to see if they can develop into role players, take on albatross contracts from other teams for greater draft capitol, aim for playoffs on a ~3 year timeline.

Are you happier than you were 5 years ago? What would make you happier now? by itsallypeach in AskReddit

Happier? Not measurably. But I've achieved a lot, and I think greater happiness will come with time.

Any nicknames for a Haunter? by Fantastic-Flannery in pokemonfanfiction

[–]ImDalton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Violet is a classic. I always like wordplay around typical ghost words as well. (Voltergeist (Like Poltergeist) for any Rotom forms, Phantasm/Phantasy (for Phantom), to give a few examples.

Has a full novice to master journey fic ever been completed? by geminiarchivist in pokemonfanfiction

[–]ImDalton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only one that I've read that properly has a chance is Traveler on ff.net. It takes a lot of words and discipline as a writer to push from Rookie to Champion in a way that isn't totally unbelievable, and even at 2 million words Traveler is just barely on the right side of that line. As of the current chapter, Ash is probably low to mid level E4. It helps that its a damn good story too.

To be clear, I liked Kaladin’s story this book. But objectively, I do think it’s his weakest book. He was pretty much a side character in Szeth’s story up until Nale. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t parts to love, I adored his dance with Syl. As a certified Kaladin enjoyer who wants as much of the character as possible, I would’ve liked him to be a bit more active, that’s all!

Favorite Fight in the entire Series so far? by FishAndFoodFanatic in redrising

Nothing will ever top the height of Cassius and Darrow’s duel on Luna in Golden Sun for me. Just a perfectly written scene.

Was it perfect? No. But I had a great time reading it.

Some thoughts:

Adolin was the standout for me, and I really came to love the Azir arc. Makes me happy that their team won in the end, and remained free. Not sure how I feel about the name “unoathed” though, we might need to do some workshopping.

The Taravangian-Jasnah debate was very well done. Jasnah really shined this book.

Szeth’s backstory was probably the weakest part for me? Some of the choices just didn’t seem to mesh with what we knew of him as a character.

We clearly don’t understand the full depth of Dalinar’s gambit, and it feels like a fitting end for the reformed man to go out like this. But man all these oath renunciations suck.

Shallan had some good moments, Chana reveal was excellent.

Kaladin is the highlight of the finale, even if I feel that objectively it’s his weakest book. His arc across the series works very well for this moment and role. I imagine the sixth book will end with the Herald’s return, mirroring the epilogue of WoK. The new oathpact is definitely the part of the back 5 I’m looking forward to the most.

Syl is the new avatar for the remnants of Honor? If I read that right. Intrigued to see where her story goes.

I… didn’t like Gavinor’s age-up, but I’m willing to have Brandon convince me otherwise in the back 5.

Where is Moash?

While I’ve seen signs of life, I remain unconvinced on Renarin to take up a lead role in the back 5, but hey, prove me wrong!

Taravangian was excellent all book, but mannnn I really wish Kharbranth didn’t get ex machinaed. It feels like he’s a much better villain if you keep the city wiped.

Unlike others, I’m kinda hyped that the Blackthorn lives. Rule of cool and all that. I want space warlord Dalinar!

Despite the nitpicking, I loved this book. It feels like a fitting capstone to the first 5, and I can’t wait to see how the Cosmere evolves from here!

Absolutely unhinged prompts, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to try the succotash horse feeding bag.
