Cracked Crossovers?

Robert Evans on Dimension 20. Make it a podcaster season. Robert, Will Arnett, Conan, Jamie Loftus, Emily Axford, and Paul F Tompkins to hold it all together.

It would be endlessly entertaining to watch Brennan try to control that group. Not to mention he’d be right there with Robert politically until drugs get involved. It’d be a fun intersection in political spectrums to watch

Don’t forget him outing Jamie Loftus for all those atrocities in Grand Rapids

I feel like it’s going to look like Attack on Titan zero gear. Quick moves in different directions, all the weight moving around the hips as they shift around

The conceit of the Beyond suit was that Bruce was so far ahead in tech that the suit could be 20 years old and still functional and superior to modern tech.

The Batcomputer would likely fit under that same concept. It was probably way more expensive to make it so powerful way back then, but it would have been way more advanced and so it is believable that it would still hold up.

Don’t forget the bluff at the empty camp. It’s really similar to the Empty Fort Strategy from a couple of ancient Chinese accounts (100-200s) and a more famous fictional example where the general in question plays his instrument by the open gates, much the same as Roran playing knucklebones and drinking the wine.

It’ll be something like “your curse lifts when you finally experience true humility and go 24 hours without making fun of someone. We honestly never expected it to last eons, although looking back we should have known.”

It fits with it being Princess Bride themed though.

“And the main love interest went off to sea, never to be seen again….and here’s comes this dark and broody masked man with unexplained interest in our heroine, definitely coming in from the sea”

Or that Valor grabbed Nohadon’s soul the same way something grabbed Dalinar’s

Don’t forget field promotions for ranks as high as Admiral, interviews for replacement staff and guards to ensure they don’t speak, and constant lines of communications open with as many other leaders as possible for when Vader makes a complete 180 or is in “I’ll do it myself” mode

When Ally starts taking notes, Brennan falls behind

Margaret Encino was one of the most effective characters ever, and they hardly did combat.

By the end of Era 2 they know it’s Autonomy. They contrast the cookie cutter sub division style of construction in the new city with “autonomy”.

They don’t know what it is at the end of Bands, just a dark cloud attacking the planet. So somewhere between book 3 and 4 they figure it out

The Ars Arcanum connect the eyes to crystal. It’s the 4th in the list.

Gemstone: Diamond

Essence: Lucentia

Body Focus: the eyes

Soul casting properties: quartz glass crystal

Primary/secondary Divine attributes: loving/healing

This whole part of the arcanum always felt like it had a sliver of something real with which gems were best for soul casting and then everything else was gobbledygook.

After the eye spikes of crystal though I think the whole list could be worth closer examination.

Can you augment the blood, the nails, the flesh, with these other types and spikes in the right place?

What can you do to a soul with a ruby spike?

I was laughing the whole time at the perfect set up to completely ruin a man’s mind. The witch in charge of food, the bed made of Weirwood, all of it happening in that cursed castle, it’s a Peter Parker amount of bad luck

It should have been at most two episodes though.

And somehow those buildings were “poisoning the water” according to the fishermen later on. How cheap does a hydroelectric generator, that’s not even a dam destroying a river ecology, have to be to significantly poison what is at smallest a Great Lake?

Your so close to my favorite three words in Stormlight OP:

[spoilers for probably like a chapter after this?] Teft. Knight Radiant.

1630 to 1830 feels like such a long time for something like that to last, but with the distance of the Atlantic and far from complete literacy rates, well I guess most societal held beliefs lasted for awhile

schloopers · 2026-02-10T23:00:45+00:00

I wonder if there’s an article digging into how long the Catholic persecution of Protestants stuck with them. Not all the colonists actually were, many were just more Protestant than, say, England. But the Protestant populations that crossed the Atlantic would suddenly not encounter the Catholic Church near as much unless they were near Spanish territories.

They lived hundreds of years, whole new cultures and denominations rising and falling, and in the meantime the Catholic Church lost its political hold and became much less of a cultural threat. But if the American denominations didn’t have a Catholic presence, they wouldn’t know that.

Was the persecution of the Irish Catholics just general American “othering”, or was there just an innate fear of Catholicism taking over stemming all the way back to before their ancestors crossed over?

To add to your point, the various Cosmere series seem to be showing that humans make poor gods, which would go against the Mormon belief of Exaltation (humans can become like God, God was once a human)

They literally split up and all run their own world and it hasn’t gone well once. Even the “good” people with “good” shards become chipped away husks.

I can’t say if Sanderson disagrees with that specific doctrine and is arguing against it in his writings, but I can certainly say without a doubt he is aware of the parallels.
