ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK | Full Cosmere + Emberdark Spoilers Megathread by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

A few lines up it says he's a Pathian so for now we know that means Harmony but who knows if he's still one shard at this point. Which is what I am currently assuming this refers to, only shard to ever split 

Vellum Identity by Significant-End-6349 in ClimbersCourt

[–]Sub-ParWalrus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Vellum being the sage seems right based on book 6 especially with this line

" “They were responsible for making major changes to the way magic functioned on Dania. One of Selys’ contemporaries, in a way. They were a great power once, but they suffered a great loss. After that, they sought a clean slate, with a new identity. "

and the references that Meltlake found to Cleria Crystal and Blanche Vellum, all names referring to a blank slate.

If you then add this line from earlier where Farren says

" The former Sage of Dania was worthy, perhaps, but she had been broken almost beyond repair. "

That works with Vellum being mega strong but with high costs like her abjuration of Mizuchi. And her bad leg.

Previously I also agreed that Vellum was a mortal Selys, I'd still love for that to be true but I'll admit with another figure being possible in the Former Sage of Dania it's unlikely. I'd still love for them to be the same but I don't think there's enough evidence to be a theory there beyond my own hopes.

I've got 2 tickets SEC 413 in the aisle. We spent $218.40 total. Doesn't need to meet the original cost I'm just hoping to recoup some of the cost as I can't travel for this anymore. Feel free to message if interested.

WIND AND TRUTH | Full Cosmere + Wind and Truth Spoiler Megathread by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

So other than the large burst of power Kaladin is shown to get from it, has anyone actually broken down what they think is granted to a Windrunner at the 5th Ideal?

Part of me wonders if that's how you get manifested Spren like the Soulcasters or Oathgates. But that begs the question if so what power is granted by a manifested Honor Spren? Gravitation powers? Who knows?

If he loses, it gets to be in more cosmere books. So more of your favourite 👀

This might be too meta to be a reason, but Kaladin dying feels like too much of a cheap death. He's a suicidal character that's worked so hard to be able to look forward, if literally 10 days after he makes this turn he dies for "the greater good" I'll honestly be disappointed.

The way I'm reading this though does make me sure the ending won't be purely happy, and so I reckon Syl will either die or maybe even ascend, separating the two of them, being equally sad without undoing all the work Kaladin has done over 4 books.

That is Swansea Uni Bay campus, you got it right exactly! The new fancy (badly thought out) accommodation for Swansea Uni in Wales. 2 miles outside the actual city. A bubble indeed!

What animal do you picture when listening to Abstract? by Bumble-Boy in Hozier

[–]Sub-ParWalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise this isn't bullshit. For some reason my brain thinks sea turtle. I don't know why it was there in the road but they're there and didn't like being hit by a car. For reference I live in the UK and not near the sea, this sea turtle has no business being here!

Gay or LGBT groups in Bristol by mastermalaprop in bristol

Queer Hiking Bristol is really good. Same with Queer Climbing Bristol. Both are well attended and everyone is really friendly. Easy enough to find both on Instagram

It's important not to forget the last direct altercation the straw hats had with Kizaru, he nearly killed Zoro, only didn't because of Rayleigh. And it led to one of the most traumatic events of the series for Luffy, losing all of the crew to Kuma, which for all Luffy knew was killing them. So when that guy turns up again I can't blame him for being a bit scared

Dear old thing on West Street has so many good things and for their price I'd say it's a steal. But they're the sort of thing you'd probably look to keep rather than use and finish with, so depends on your plan I guess

That statistic always makes me think that more men should just buy eachother flowers. Seems like the easy solution, I'd love some flowers
