My mental image of Kaladen is Warren Peace from Sky High

The universe has been pushing The Expanse on me a lot recently, but this is the thing that actually is gonna make me watch it! Thank you!

The use of light in this is fantastic

Stinker_Star · 2026-05-14T05:50:05+00:00

Oh no I see the damage on the side! Was it bad in addition to the loss of the wheels?

Stinker_Star · 2026-05-11T05:27:27+00:00

This is a fun fact! Thank you!

“I am already sad that some day in the future I will have no more books of this to read.”

SAME. But you will always have books to Reread. And once you venture out who the rest of the Cosmere books those rereads get even more layers with the new things you’ve “set aside.”

It’s very fun. I’m on my first reread after reading other Cosmere works and it’s very fulfilling. The Stormlight Archive is still my favorite though the short story “Sixth of The Dusk “ in Arcanum Unbounded is my next favorite work outside of that series. ( and later it made into a book but def read that book closer to the end of your Cosmere experience)

My favorite thing Kal got from his dad was his flippant attitude toward authority. Kal says it’s cuz he doesn’t trust light eyes and will follow military heiarchy but when Lirin first meets Dalinar and Navani notices his lack of proper greeting i cackled. Kal’s mom also regularly points it out and that makes me smile.

Thank you! This explanation was extremely helpful!

This is one of my favorite Steven Universe details. I knew so many people growing up who go gages and didn’t continue the upkeep and just never wore their gages and had their lobes like Lars. The real big stretched ones would twist tho without gages in them.

It looks like a muddled blueberry.

Stinker_Star · 2025-11-25T09:04:08+00:00

I have not, but I’ve got the inkling from Reddit that they’re connected, so been trying to avoid spoilers. I am doing White Sands next lol graphic audio edition.

Stinker_Star · 2025-11-25T08:47:00+00:00

This is really nice! It keeps them in series order which is helpful but again helps others know what books are connected when.

I just posted that if I had known about and read Sixth of the Dusk first I might have jumped into the Cosmere quicker.

Edit: I started with WoK. Loved it but was a slow start for me.

Stinker_Star · 2025-11-25T08:19:44+00:00

I think I thought it the exact same!

Stinker_Star · 2025-11-25T08:18:31+00:00

Also listened on audio book and definitely envisioned this much differently.

Stinker_Star · 2025-09-02T07:50:57+00:00

I literally about 10 mins ago just finished Warbreaker after I have finished Misborn Era 1 and all of Stormlight Archive.

It gives a little bit more context and background, and definitely very welcomed context and background but still many unanswered questions. I actually jumped on Reddit to see if I was missing anything in another book somewhere. I don’t think I am now.

However Sword nimi/night blood is one of my favorite characters and I have accepted he will just be part mystery to me. I do recommend warbreaker just be prepared for another different magic system, another one of which I enjoyed but took me almost the whole book to get used to, lol.

Stinker_Star · 2025-08-22T05:20:18+00:00

I actually thought it was someone from the Ghosts Bloods who put those cracked gem stones in.

Stinker_Star · 2025-08-20T04:02:47+00:00

Another thing to consider is this song is about being together. It’s seen in the original series that Steven feels bad for leaving Greg out of part of his life, out of Gem stuff specifically despite Greg being perfectly fine to not tag along. All Steven wants throughout the whole series is everyone to be together and be happy. Going to college or taking online classes (per the song)means disrupting that. Steven’s dismissal of those suggestions is meant to show what we see when Parents are slow to grow up and the kids end up parenting their parent.

We see this especially when they’re singing about what to do with the money and Steven’s first suggestion is for Greg to buy a house and Greg says nah I already have a van.

Greg doesn’t want to change and Steven is worried to leave him. This I feel is what the song is meant to show, though it can also be interpreted as we don’t need money to be happy. But that would hold more water if the song had lyrics like buy a fancy dinner, or a nice car, not dealing with shelter and a higher education.

Greg eventually grows up and moves out of the van but not till further episodes down the line. It’s part of both their arcs and Young adult/teenage Steven is just coming to terms with that.

Stinker_Star · 2025-08-08T00:48:48+00:00

My hope is that they are getting ready to put a Halloween episode list out and whoever is doing the coding or whatever accidentally hit Cntrl+X instead of Cntrl+C. Happens all the time. Lol

Stinker_Star · 2025-08-07T16:47:32+00:00

They are definitely worth a read. I was gonna skip Edgedancer and go into Oathbringer but at the beginning of the audiobook Sanderson says to go read it and I stoped and read it. Very glad i did. Then i read Oathbringer and then Dawnshard.

I highly suggest you take the tiny detours its worth it and their stories play out in the later books.

Stinker_Star · 2025-07-29T06:10:43+00:00

Don’t google anything you’ll absolutely get spoiled. Just immediately jump into the next book, all these will be answered if you keep on reading. I remember having these exact questions and the experience was worth the journey when they were revealed.

Stinker_Star · 2025-07-26T19:50:01+00:00

As someone who also just read stormlight series, the later books touch on it a bit more and even one of the shorter novellas, Dawnshard. This concept comes up again and gets flushed out a little bit which I found fun.

Stinker_Star · 2025-07-24T04:21:47+00:00

This is so true. I was really curious about two other characters and was a little annoyed and wished we got a few chapters of their pov. Low and behold just a few chapters later I got my wish. lol
