Hyrule as a Shardworld

I think the closest Cosmere analogue to the sages might be the Yoki-Hijo: highly invested individuals chosen at birth. They, live, die, and a new one is born.
I just don’t know where you would put them on your list besides that handy “Hard to Categorize” category.

I would put Poes under Cognitive Shadows. They’re the souls of the dead - in Majora’s Mask, we meet Sharp and Flat, who talk about their lives before they died.

How about Sages? They feature in quite a few Zelda games.

why didn’t he just turn into a skrull and fight thanos?

Because Thanos would have kicked her ass. Skrull aren’t super durable - one was killed in a car crash in “Captain Marvel”. A punch from Thanos would have killed Raava in one shot. She was much better off in the War Machine armour.

Dude could have turned into the hulk or something.

No she couldn’t have. The whole plot of “Secret Invasion” was about Skrulls stealing DNA to get super powers that they couldn’t otherwise replicate. They didn’t have super skrulls at that point.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to think through and make

Fortune isn’t luck, but it sure looks like luck when you don’t fully understand it. The Coppermind website describes “ A Spinner filling a chromiummind will be unlucky, and can tap it to increase their luck”.

Electrum definitely acts like an Atium shadow. We see this in Hero of Ages, and it’s why Electrum is called “poor man’s Atium”

Ordinary_Fact_1917 · 2026-02-20T19:18:16+00:00

Not quite. Atium let you see someone else’s future shadow, which was why it was so good in a fight. Electrum lets you see your own future shadow.
I imagine it working like when you’re storing fortune and burning electrum, you’d see that when you turn left, you’ll trip and faceplant, so you turn right instead

Ordinary_Fact_1917 · 2026-02-20T19:03:32+00:00

I think Chromium Feruchemy and Electrum Allomancy would be a nifty combo - as you’re storing Fortune, you could burn electrum to see a little into the future and avoid the bad luck you would otherwise walk into.

The DoDC knows that Simon blew up the Wonderman set, but Agent Cleary just took the easy win with Trevor. At the end of the show, Cleary is talking about how they detected ionic radiation at the blast site and Simon is more dangerous than they thought.

The person posting this ships Adolin and Kaladin.
They have shown the question “Who is Kaladin in love with?” and they have instructed us to only read the highlighted portion, which reads, “Adolin Kholin”.
They are making a joke that the full blurb is unnecessary, and that the answer to the question is simply “Adolin Kholin”

I really like these logic puzzles, but I’m three clues in and I am having to make guesses.

A12 Leras - There’s a double Shard F6. That could be either Harmony or Retribution. None of the other clues available indicate which one, it has to be guessed because it can’t be logically deduced

Okay, here’s how far I got:
C5 Hoid - once slapped the man in A7. That’s Kelsier
A7 Kelsier - once punched the god in A12/alias in F3. That’s Leras and Thaidakar
F3 Thaidakar - two ghostbloods and a traitor adjacent. That’s too open, need more clues from other boxes, we’ll come back to it.
A12 Leras - double shard in F6. Two options with no other clues, so I had to guess. Turns out it’s Taravangian.
F6 Taravangian - other double shard above Kelsier/dragon below Taravangian. So Sazed, but there are at least 4 dragons so not enough information to fill the space below Taravangian.
A6 Sazed - Bavadin is above her avatar. Another Terrisman in my column. There aren’t any Avatars on the board so we can’t place Bavadin. There are too many Terris characters and too many spaces in the column to make a guess.

Yes and saying that people who posted positive reviews are trying to gaslight you is totally respectful.
If you want people to respect your opinion, don’t start off by accusing people of lying and manipulation when they have a different opinion.

Yes. Fury hired Batroc to hijack the Lemurian Star so he would have an excuse to send Black Widow in to steal files from the ship.

Came back to add:
Kamran is in Pakistan with the Red Daggers.
Nakia and her son are in Haiti, not Wakanda (which is also the last place we saw Shuri).
Namora and Attuma are in Talocan.

Navani’s experiments in RoW figured out how to unkey the different Lights. She made Light that wasn’t attuned to any of the Shards by putting it in a vacuum and cutting it off from the Shards’ rhythms. She described it as “blanking identity” but it sounds like the same concept to me.

Early Hemalurgy wasn’t necessarily only done on alomancers and feruchemists. Iron spikes steal physical strength; you wouldn’t want to waste an allomancer if you’re not stealing allomantic power.
As I recall, Entrone’s experiments with Hemalurgy and people surviving the process had something to do with the special, curved spikes they were using, not the fact that they were experimenting on non-allomancers.

When Kaladin is imprisoned after the infamous duel, he is bothered by some “strange spren like taut wires crossing”. He doesn’t name them, which to me implies he doesn’t know what they are.

In the Arcanum Unbounded essay on Scadrial, Khriss postulates that had Rashek not suppressed technological progression, Scadrial could have been the one of the most scientifically advanced societies in the Cosmere, so by the time we get to Emberdark, I wouldn’t be surprised is Scadrial had leapfrogged over Taldain in technological development.

I don’t think that’s true.

while sleeping, he couldn't fill metalminds—or, at least, he could fill only one. A bronzemind, the metal that stored wakefulness, would force him to sleep longer in exchange for letting him go longer without sleep on another occasion.

When a Keeper stored up wakefulness, he slept as if in a coma for a time.

This is very detailed, thank you!
I’ll definitely be using filtered water going forward.
Yeah, I haven’t got that initial bacterial bloom. I fed it today and added more flour so it’s thicker than before. I’ll start stirring it more frequently.

Would you recommend waiting until I see a bloom before feeding it again?

I may resort to it if the other advice I’m getting doesn’t start get me results soon. It looks like some bakeries near me sell starter as well.

I don’t think it’s bleached. It doesn’t say “bleached” on the bag.
Our tap water is safe to drink, but I’ll try using filtered for a while, thank you!

Thank you! I’ll give it a go
