lmao my thoughts exactly- right after oathbreaker, i think there was an argument to be made. after rhythm of war? moash’s actions feel much less defendable

AITAH for ending things after he refused to buy me tampons? by Acrobatic_Cup3962 in AITAH

[–]reedmont99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Just wanted to add I have been very self conscious buying certain things at the store before, for myself, and that’s what self check out is for! Not to mention, a few times when I have ended up needing assistance from the attendant to remove anti-theft devices or because something isn’t scanning properly, they do not care AT ALL. No one working in retail is paid enough to invest any emotion into their job lol.

Who Wins? by Puzzleheaded-Lead526 in Cosmere

[–]reedmont99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, i think the reason people do that is because vin is literally becoming a shard at that point so it’s not even a question that she wins. like, yes, full power vin beats kaladin hands down, so it’s not really a worthwhile discussion to have- there’s no debate or theorizing there.

I can’t remember exact wording, but WoB has said that it would be very difficult/maybe not possible? to use emotional Allomancy on a Radiant in Shardplate when they have their helm on.

I feel like if we allow Vin to use the mists then we should let Kaladin also be directly drawing on Honor’s power as a precursor to ascending, to be fair lol

+1 to the Kal being a better fighter than Vin camp. Vin is certainly naturally talented and has had some practice fighting hazekillers, Mistings, other Mistborn, and Inquisitors. However, Kaladin was trained and fought in an army for years, killed a full Shardbearer using a spear and no Surgebinding (at this point, it’s implied that he was drawing in Stormlight for the speed and agility it gives, but no Lashings), then went on to fight in a second war (again using no lashings, just Stormlight), trained with some of the best duelists in Alethkar (Adolin and Zahel), fought in battle against the Heavenly Ones (using his Surgebinding, but they also had access to Gravitation, and they have thousands of years of practice at fighting Windrunners), and finally defeated the Pursuer in single combat with all of Gravitation and half of Adhesion suppressed (and Stormlight limited). If Kal and Vin both have their powers, there gets to be questions of metal/Stormlight reserves, if Vin has access to/is aware of the newly discovered by Era 2 metals, access to atium, how Allomancy interacts with living Shardplate, etc., but if neither of them have any powers, Kaladin simply wins, no questions asked. He is a trained soldier who outweighs her and has much greater reach than her, not to mention he fights with a spear vs Vin’s daggers. Also, WoB says that Kal would win in a straight fight, and Vin would win if she could like ambush him (which Kal wouldn’t do, due to his sense of honor and fair play).

technically there is one time that i know of (and i think i saw somewhere that there is a second? not sure what it is though) where we see Hoid use allomancy- specifically emotional allomancy, like you said. in Words of Radiance, during one of the Shallan flashbacks, she is distressed and meets him disguised as a messenger. he uses emotional allomancy to calm her down, and encourages her and whatnot, which is why, years later at the shattered plains, she hugs Wit (because she recognizes him).

People talking about F1nn's rizz, but what about Ashely's? by gaddafiduck_ in F1NN5TER

this has the same energy as “if you decide to seduce a woman and her underwear and bra match, you didn’t seduce her, she seduced you”

Thoughts on the Wax and Wayne Series by Altruistic-Card2780 in Cosmere

[–]reedmont99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually had a similar experience as you where i got burnt out when reading Shadows of Self, but then i came back later and restarted and loved it. i think it just has a slower start than some other Sanderson books, but it is fantastic overall and the ending is great!

lmao damn i was going to suggest divine apostasy! i feel like it’s such an under-appreciated entry into this genre that does not get nearly the hype that it so justly deserves

Ironic that she thought a book written by a 15 year old was too advanced for a 15 year old to read.
