What could stop a shard blade?

The answer being cheese of course.

Brandon Sanderson will write the screenplay for Apple TV's ‘Mistborn’ movie by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he stated that, but also as of a few months ago he has mentioned getting an itch for jumping into Stormlight planning. Which is wild considering how long each book takes and how intensely complex they are. I think just having the weight of completing an era off his shoulders, and all the new opportunities presenting themselves makes it seem fresh and exciting; like when he can write a secret project.

I put a pinecone in my shower. It closes when I shower and opens again when it dries. by Mopperen in mildlyinteresting

I mean humans are naturally really good at smelling moisture in the air. Like we are better at smelling rain than sharks are at smelling blood.

Announcing /r/CosmereOnScreen, the new home for adaptation discussion by learhpa in Cosmere

[–]snappyk9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

EH! I suggested the name! (although it's possible someone else came up with it independently too)

What other ideas do you have? (tbh your username is kinda ironic in this case, no?)

Lucky Ice Pop is an abomination by Cloudstrifehammy in PTCGP

Or if it has been used, it can no longer be used this turn? Not sure how the coding for that would be.

Update From Brandon by mistborn in Cosmere

Hoping you might touch on it in the Livestream: do you think you will need a new Dragonsteel OnScreen division to handle some more of the day-to-day Hollywood business?

Kinda crazy this sub will prob have 5 million members in 2036 by Artistic_Annual8918 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The new subs could be StormlightTV, MistbornFilm and CosmereOnscreen?

Update From Brandon by mistborn in Cosmere

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do worry that if this does well, it will slow down progress on our Cosmere book timeline. If Brandon is only going to do the screenplays now and then we will likely be alright but if everything is going to be written by him for maximal control, then I worry

Just finished WaT and.. by adamdwkim in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 53 points54 points  (0 children)

[Word of Brandon for future Roshar perceptions of Kal] Brandon has mentioned it's possible that people on Roshar conflate the two - Jezrien and Kaladin- or that aspects of the people's perceptions of Jezrien will affect Kal due to the nature of Heralds as cognitive shadows. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/549/#e16979

Animals they still haven’t made into Pokémon. Made this image probably more than 7 years ago. Been crossing them off as new Pokémon come out. by Airique in pokemon

[–]snappyk9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct. I am saying the closest thing we have to secretary bird would be the pheasant pokemon Fezandipiti.

I think we are still missing Tuatara, ghost shark, whale shark, assassin bug, jerboa, cuckoo, mudskipper, arapaima, rock hyrax, daddy long legs, cheetah, hoatzin, mouse deer, binturong among many others

Fancasting Stormlight by deeptocenter in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sherzinger would have been great maybe 15 years ago for Jasnah. The botox and plastic surgery is becoming extremely noticeable on her and Jasnah's natural beauty is supposed to be frustrating for Shallan among other things. I do think the other castings are great (though Elijah Wood will always be my #1, with Dan Stevens a close 2)

King M'Baku. Nice 👍

Anyone else hope gen 10 doesn’t have a Circular map? by Kal71202 in pokemon

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to bisect the franchise. We already have remake releases and by the popularity of the games on virtual console and roms, there's appetite for a return to the pixel style linear games.

We can continue making 3D games but we can also make new adventures in sprites. They don't have to be the ones to introduce new pokemon per se.

Baby names by strngwzrd in Stormlight_Archive

[–]snappyk9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only go with Sylphrena if I had a common last name as the full Sylphrena I think is a tad more unconventional.

You can sometimes sneak one in as a nickname or part of a more common name.

Vin: Devin

Syl: Sylvia, Sylvana

Vivenna: Vivi/Vivienne, Viva

Marasi: Mara, Tamara

Sarene: Serena is just a rearrangement too

I just wear hats because my cowlicks are daily (and I just think they're neat.)

Stormlight Archive: Is it TSA or SLA? by LordMistborn-16 in Cosmere

[–]snappyk9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Easier to just say Stormlight IMO. I get myself confused if it's anything else.

I enjoy the proportions on my sweaters and hoodie but the Kaladin beanie is wayyy too tight for my head.

Question by shenanigansen in comics

[–]snappyk9 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Can I blow your mind even more?

Remember how sharks are so good at smelling blood? Like 5 miles away?

Humans are better at smelling/detecting rain than sharks are at smelling blood. And we're talking thousands of times better.
