Brandon Sanderson/Cosmere Thread!

Re: Mistborn rereads: besides the moment I mentioned upthread, some of my biggest keyboardsmashes were

Spoiler

things in the epigraphs about the Hero of Ages. Like Alendi talking about how "THE ANCIENT PROPHECIES say that I will have the power to save the world but ALSO TO DESTROY IT" and it sounds like generic prophecy pablum until you realize.

Preservation and Ruin.

The prophecies were being very specific and literal.

 

Spoiler

the lifeless keep some skills. makes me think of the returned. lightsong searching for what he knew. something something there is a connection between the returned "gods" and the lifeless.

 

Spoiler

GODDAMIT

THE MERCENARIES

+ something is Up with clod tho

 

Spoiler

The worst thing about being a mercenary is living up to the stereotypes. 888)))

I don't think who Clod was is explained in the text, but it is in the annotations. I'll explain when you get to the end if you want.

 

i just finished warbreaker and i am now the human embodiment of a keysmash

i gotta read all the annotations tho i skipped them bc i wanted to avoid spoilers the first go around
aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Yeah, that's. Pretty much the Warbreaker experience.

Spoiler

Raise your hand if you have trust issues because of Denth.

 

Incidentally, my personal favorite "GODDAMMIT BRANDON" reread moment from Warbreaker:

Spoiler

"Vasher had seen the type of people who ended up in line for Returned petitions."

 

FUCK

GODDAMMIT BRANDON SANDERSON

 

I KNOW RIGHT

 

i just read all of the warbreaker annotations DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE MISTBORN ANNOTATIONS and bought elantris on ibooks

aaahhhhhh

 

One of my favorite bits from the Warbreaker annotations is that

Spoiler

his editor kept trying to get him to cut the bit where Lightsong talks about statistics and he was like "NUH-UH."

 

me, sobbing while reading the forward to Elantris,,,,,,

this is my life now. being repetadly stabbed in the heart by brandon sanderson's books. im ok w this.

 

One of us. One of us. :::PPP

 

There has been. A meet cute.

oh gods

In other news I continue to like Sazed a lot and how I keep getting more and more snippets of religion from him. The bits before the chapters proper continue to grow more and more ominous too so that's fun.

Also I like how they hung up Camon like he was a fucking butchered pig. But they did it while he was alive and screaming. Gods that must have been a fun sight. As must have been the crew's lair.

imagine his kicking though

good shit

 

"All of the rich folk go wining and dining all the time because reasons." "I AM SO FUCKING BORED OF BALLS HOLY SHIT I JUST WANT TO READ FINE LITERATURE AND HATE MY FATHER."

vin has found a new way to hide

behind makeup and ten tons of fabric and shit manners

 

sazed is so fucking great i love him

 

I would legit just sit there and talk with him about dead or dying religions all fucking day long. And share what I know of the ones from our world and share with him my methodology on my own reconstruction.

we would have so much fun

 

Bought the other two books in the trilogy. Fuck my life. Halfway through the book so far. I remain skeptical of Elend. Are you a worthy heterosexual love interest boy? You better be.

Terrible ships to consider unhealthy and unbalanced Vin<3<Shan.

 

good content

 

we must get her near more women
