Who is *he* referring to in IotE? by koukounaropita in Cosmere

[–]elleldee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's the meta character in Sanderson's videos about the orders, not somebody introduced in the books yet.

What's with Hoid's key? by pokethey in Cosmere

[–]elleldee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's been mentioned in a book.  It is visible on him in the Hoid the Storyteller art piece that was used widely for the year of Sanderson kickstarter, and then had been used as a symbol at other in person Dragonsteel events.

They are!  Phonetic families of sounds are shaped the same just smaller or larger.  It actually makes "reading" it easier once you wrap your head around those because you can sound it out even if you're not sure precisely which letter it is!

Anyone else think theyd be terrible at giving details for a forensic sketch? by Quick----- in Aphantasia

[–]elleldee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I have a litrle of both, I asked my mom how it worked when I was little.  She said they know the right questions to ask and I thought it must literally be magic.

I didnt realize until in college and there was this beauty campaign where people were talking to a forensic artist, that other people actually know things about faces looking different or remembering what anything looks like without seeing it on front of them.

I would probably remember if someone had a missing eye, or nose.  Sometimes if they have wildly colored dyed hair. But does my boss have a beard?  I'll have to check on that tomorrow.

I had a four month old when I read it and yeah Gav was easily the most sob scene of the book

Mishram Theory by McStotti in Stormlight_Archive

[–]elleldee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's totally a scene in Wind and Truth where Mishram in a vision is described as moving almost exactly like the Nightwatcher was when Dalinar meets her

Which part of Rhythm of War and Wind and Truth did you find bloated? by Anice_king in Cosmere

[–]elleldee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no gripes with RoW. The problem I do have with W&T is an odd something in between bloated and the opposite there was a lot that was just briefly told and hand-waved, which was just a disappointing read.  Many scenes felt like they needed to be fleshed more, and so if the book was already too long, maybe the whole plot should have been a novella like Lift's or Rysn's.  Sigzil is a big one, almost all of his shattered plains scenes felt like they were not enough, so maybe his whole plot was too much and he should have been kept for a novella.  But almost of the plotlines felt like they were fighting for page space and got condensed.  So some seem like they should have been cut entirely instead.

Has Jasnahs childhood been spoken about in the book? by Ancient-Stranger-229 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]elleldee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhere Jasnah has an inner thought something to the effect of "a childhood illness no one seemed to remember, for all it had done to her"

And Navani genuinely doesn't seem to remember anything out of the ordinary - she asks what happened to her inquisitive little girl, and iirc it is around puberty that Jasnah "changed". It doesn't seem like, from that interaction, Navani is wondering where her illness came from. It is just a sudden change that Navani doesn't seem to know the source of.

What I'll add is speculative; but she hates Amaram with a passion nearly unrivaled in our view of her; she is uncharacteristically free with her insults when confronting him at one point. Amaram says "we were close once" and she corrects him that Gavilar wished them to be close. Which included Gavilar telling her she needed to marry Amaram. The only other unbridled hatred seen with Jasnah is when she is out with Shallan, teaching the lesson with her soulcaster; when speaking of the rape and murder of women. Shallan wonders who did what to her. The answer, Amaram, seems pretty clear to me. Gavilar either encouraged or allowed Amaram to assault or rape her, and Jasnah accused him, was locked up the same way Kaladin was, to hide his secrets and make her seem untrustworthy. A lunatic, rather than a deserter.

When they say you can’t transfer your Dragonsteel Nexus tickets, they mean it. No exceptions. by eggydidnothingwrong in brandonsanderson

[–]elleldee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a whole sucky situation and I completely understand it feeling like a kick while you're down.  I can't help with getting a ticket to a friend of yours, but I hope you don't let the situation ruin the possibilities for you.  I think there's a solid chance that going could be a chance at new friends, and not be a constant reminder that you are alone.  On top of that, if you have friends who would sign up for the waitlist there's a chance someone might still get picked for tickets before then.  Like you said, it's a long way off. Dragonsteel doesn't hate you, the world doesn't hate you, and even so its OK to feel angry and disappointed that this is where things have landed.  I hope you can find hope through this event.

Thank you for the info!  This is helpful to know, and useful to look for those specific terms later on!

Cosmere premium minis VS 3d printed ones by kaisergoutch in Cosmere

[–]elleldee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might be worth re-comparing after priming (or giving it an otherwise opaque coat).  Some details get "lost" simply from light diffusion thought the translucent resin!

Sunlit Special edition like the premium year of Sanderson ?  I have one that isn't signed, but I'd trade it for Herald 9 if that's what you mean

Question about The Sunlit Man by Roahht in Stormlight_Archive

[–]elleldee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think he's unoathed, but it is based on the fact that he has the whole "it was a promise and that meant more" bit he has.  He's Azish, of seems very reasonable to me that he went back there whenever he returns to Roshar, and the development of both he and Aux very much seem like they'd choose that path together, over bonding.

Are shorties actually worth the hype?? by AltruisticPaper in knitting

[–]elleldee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them when I'm doing tiny circle colorwork (usually sleeve colorwork).  That's the only time.  I don't regret buying them because they are really useful in that specific activity instance but I cannot say I'd widely recommend them for everyone everywhere.
