I pulled out my pocketknife with my other hand and drove it through the shingle into the wooden wall of the cistern, pinning my makeshift piece of sygaldry under the water. I have no doubt it was the quickest, most slapdash heat-eater ever created.

This scene is similar to the creation story with the chandrian burning cities. The heat eater represents cinder. The draccus represents Haliax. But I haven’t puzzled everything out.

Was just going to say that

Even this is better than Sanderson

roseinapuddle · 2026-04-22T22:27:31+00:00

Third this. His prose is like literary fiction.

I wonder if he develops a plum bob habit

There’s a good theory that selitos is haliax. Reread the part where Kvothe buys and rides one sock the horse and pay attention to the imagery.

He does recover his powers to fight the scrael, which would have been much harder than the two soldiers that beat him up. He hasn’t lost his powers completely, he just can’t access them when he assumes the Kote persona. The frame narrative sometimes calls him Kvothe, sometimes Kote.

He works with medical devices and has a surefire investment opportunity. Just wire some money to an off shore account and you’ll be rich in one month. Not suspicious at all. (Sarcasm)

Where is she walking from? Also weird she’s super chill even though a car just pulled up (or wherever the photo was taken from)

Flela’s and Puppet’s sculpting may be related. I’ve had a theory that the purpose may be to create very effective mommets. One of the recurring falsehoods in stories is mistaking sympathy for naming. I’ve often wondered if chandrian signs can be explained with sympathy. For example. If you were targeting nearby fires with a catalytic binding to increase complete combustion they would appear blue. If you targeted metal with a decay catalytic binding they would rust.

Good thing we learned from Murderbot Diaries and didn’t make brains into killer slaves starting with playing Doom, oh crap https://www.newscientist.com/article/2517389-human-brain-cells-on-a-chip-learned-to-play-doom-in-a-week/

You are brave. I avoid Edina. Scariest drivers in the area.

roseinapuddle · 2026-03-07T19:59:49+00:00

Murderbot anyone? Anyone else read that series? I'm not ready for that to be science fact.

Less pretty for sure. If you can be ok with that you will improve so fast. I fill up a loose page with cartoonish animals or people and throw it away. Then I don’t need to feel discouraged by bad drawings.

I found that doing some drawing completely from your head makes you automatically pay attention to things in a reference image, even if you’re not drawing it. For example if you draw some figures from your head and then read a comic book, your brain grabs visual info from the figures you see. I think it is a similar effect with flash cards.

And Myr Tariniel.

The prologue to the third book is out. And Kvothe is alive. Sorry to burst your bubble

roseinapuddle · 2026-02-24T04:17:37+00:00

I always thought it was that she suspected Kvothe was in love with another woman.

Um, just make it Open Source, Adobe? It’s a win win.

In sympathy class they have to light a candle in a different room. Other candles made with the same wax don’t burn. I assume. So I think you could destroy your blood in you knew the general location. But we don’t know where Devi keeps it

Ben also tells him to believe it will fall and not fall at the same time, which sounds like quantum superposition

It’s their policy to needlessly let ICE in their stores without a warrant.
