GreyPilgrim he/him Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 You even use 'Storming' as a curse in your dreams When you fail to see how that is at all unusual. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 When you name your XCOM soldiers after Brandon related terms, such as Dustbringer for your favorite assault and Shardplate for a MEC Trooper. When watching those soldiers die makes you sob with shame at your possibly-prophetic actions, and when you come up with in-cosmere explanations for psychic and genetic powers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Either that or he and Syl would get into a moral-correctness battle by proxy. Complete with "Tell her I said the ends will sometimes justify ANY means!". "She says that's almost as wrong as your accent." You just know this would come up at some point. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatebreaker he/him Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 It would get even better once Hammond got involved. "But Kel, technically she's part of God, so isn't it wrong to argue against the almighty?" "She's only a sliver of the almighty. And besides, it's not our almighty and he's dead anyway." "But can the almighty ever truly die, or does he technically live on through the splinters of his soul and the power of belief?" Breeze: "Oh shut up Hammond, your giving me a headache." 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatebreaker he/him Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 You're a Sanderson fan when you keep looking people in the eyes and determining if they are a darkeyes or lighteyes. That's racist. Well not really, more like occularist. Eye color doesn't really matter because all eyes are the same color when they're spikes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king of nowhere Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) three weeks ago I visited washington dc. Today I read in the annotations from mistborn The main inspiration for Keep Venture was the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. and immediately thought "oh ****" because I didn't visit it. not that I'm really intersted in cathedrals, I was there mostly for the iconic american stuff and the smithsonian museums, especially thoose dealing with technology and space exploration, and that left no time for anything else. Plus, I'm pretty sure that if i wanted to see majestic cathedrals, I could just stay in italy - I can think of at least half a dozen of them within a one hour car trip from home. No, the only reason I now deeply regret not visiting that place is that it inspired some locations in mistborn. Now I'm going to gooogle it so that I can see some pictures and get a better idea of how keep venture looked like. EDIT: well, it looks pretty much like the notre dame, which I actually visited. so I can just think of that next timeI read those scenes. I wonder if also on keep venture there is a darth vader head Edited September 8, 2014 by king of nowhere 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killersquirrel59 he/him Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 When you instinctively mistrust anyone with piercings because they might be hemalurgic spikes. When you catch your wolfhound eating bad meat out of the trash and just for a second wonder how cool it would be if your dog got replaced by a Kandra. When you have used Warbreaker as an example in an Economics class discussion on non-monetary based economies. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
