Personification he/him Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 This one has minimal changes and minimal OB Spoilers: "The Stranger" (Sung by Shallan and Hoid to the tune of the song with the same name by Billy Joel) Spoiler Shallan Hoid Well we all have a face That we hide away forever And we take them out and Show ourselves When everyone has gone Some are satin some are steel Some are silk and some are leather They're the faces of the stranger But we love to try them on Well we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Would he be so surprised If he ever saw the stranger Will I ever let my lover see The stranger in myself? Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south Every now and then You've done it, why be Someone else? You should know by now They are all yourselfOnce I used to believe That I was the stranger’s master Then I turned into a woman That I could not recognize When I pressed me for a reason I refused to even answer It was then I saw the stranger Look at me right with my own eyes Well we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Would he be so surprised If he ever saw the stranger Will I ever let my lover see The stranger in myself? Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south Every now and then You've done it, why be Someone else? You should know by now They are all yourselfI may never understand How the stranger is inspired But she isn't always evil And she is not always wrong Though I drown in good intentions I will never quench the fire I'll give in to my desire When the stranger comes along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Personification he/him Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Here we have another one with minimal changes: Zahel's Lament (To the tune of "I am a Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel) Spoiler A winter's day In the riddens of The Highstorm, I am alone, Gazing from my window to the streets below I can see the gems begin to glow. I am a rock, I am an island. I've built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an island. Don't talk of love, But I've heard the words before; It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, I am an island. I have my work And my swordplay to protect me, I am shielded in my armor, Hiding out on Roshar, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain, And an island never cries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Personification he/him Posted April 20, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Here is another new parody, which I have been thinking about for a long time and am very proud of, however be warned, it contains OB Spoilers: "Bye, Bye, Tanavast What a Guy" (or "The Day That Honor Died") to the tune of "Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie" by Don Mclean Spoiler A long long time ago I can still remember how My honor used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could fight Herdazians And maybe win some glory for a while But Tien’s death it made me shiver To my parents I could not deliver The news that I’d witnessed it So instead I reenlisted I can't remember if I cried When I learned Amaram had lied But something touched me deep inside The day that Honor died So Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Did you write a dying note And why was it a random quote, Gavilar why did you go? Was desolation your true goal? Can Honor save my mortal soul? And can you teach me how to act noble? Well, my sanity’s been set adrift 'Cause I saw her burnin' at the rift I’ve got nothing left to lose Please, Nightwatcher cure my blues I was a lonely warlord born with skill With some new shardplate and a drive to kill But then I learned to hate the Thrill The day that Honor died I started drinkin' Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Now, four eons we've been on our own And crem grows fat on a rolling stone But, that's not how it used to be When the ardents ruled for the king and queen And claimed the future could be seen In a time known later as “Heirocracy” Oh and then one king put his foot down The Sunmaker put on his crown Old knowledge was unlearned All prophecy deterred And while Shallan read a book on art Eshonai made maps in the park And the king’s newfound orb glowed dark The day that Honor died We were singin' Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Helter skelter in a summer swelter The bridgeman strung up with no shelter There was a Highstorm coming fast Suspended in a bead of glass The gem glowed at the stormwall’s pass On the roof of barracks that had been soulcast Now the humid air was sweet perfume While bridgemen sang a happy tune But something wasn’t right Oh, the gem held no Stormlight Incredibly the bridgeman healed His wounds were all so quickly sealeld Do you recall what was revealed The day that Honor died? We started singin' Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on Fleet be nimble, Fleet be quick Fleet ran over the shin mountains But, the storm still caught him in the end Oh and as I watched him through the cage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No Herald born on Braize Could beat Wit’s turns of phrase And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Raise laughing with delight The day that Honor died He was singin' Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die If we went back I knew we’d lose So I asked Jezrien what to choose But he just smiled and turned away I went there after every war Where I'd sworn to Honor years before But the man there said our honor ends today And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The Heralds all were broken And the three wisest men by far, Jezrien, Nin, and Ishar They left Taln to be torn apart The day that Honor died And they were singing Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Bye, bye Tanavast, what a guy Driven crazy by Raise maybe, but till then he was fine, And Radiants were drinking violet and white Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die 38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine he/him Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Ok, to give credit where credit is due, the idea for this one came from @Okdes's joke on the Sanderson Memes thread (page 96): On 4/6/2018 at 6:29 AM, Okdes said: Once, I met a Returned woman who took my breath away. After I read that, I had Berlin's "Take my Breath Away" from the top gun soundtrack rolling around in my head. My initial idea was to make a full soundtrack for the movie "Top Sword" starring Nightblood as Maverick and possibly Szeth as Goose and Nale as Iceman. But in looking more at the lyrics, this is the song that had to be. I humbly present to you, for your possible amusement, Lightsong the Bold singing "Take My Breath Away" (warning this has major spoilers for Warbreaker): Spoiler Take My Breath Away (Sung by Lightsong to the tune of the "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin) Ignoring every motion in this foolish Tarachin game In Hall'dren by the ocean, Immortal yet I have no aim Turning and Returning From the life I lived and died Living in slow motion 'Til the day at last I say Take my breath away Take my breath away Watching I keep waiting Staring at the painted forms Always hesitating To become a useful God Turning and Returning To the secret trapped inside Haunted by the notion That some day I'll have to say Take my breath away Take my breath away Through the iron bars I saw you As Blushweaver bled away Susebron my king I called you– You turned to hear me say Today must be the day I am unafraid Take my breath away Take my breath away With my final motion I helped end Blue-finger's game Peace found in the notion That the world won't end in flames Turning and Returning To some peaceful place beyond Peace found in the notion That I turned your way to say Take my breath away Take my breath away Here's the Belin video spoilered below (like a time machine back to the 80's but with a lot more atmospheric fog and fighter planes than I remember): Spoiler 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasper he/him Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Lightsong needs to sing something from Weird Al, I am not sure what but it just fits. Dalinar should sing Safe and Sound from the hunger games. I have not heard a male rendition of it but I think it fits. Just for kicks, but the Kandra need to sing one of the genii songs from Aladdin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so this one didn't actually take that long, but it's just the first verse and Chorus. Here's Lightsong singing "Living in a Boring Paradise" sung to the tune of Amish Paradise (a parody of parody, if someone made a parody of this version that would be one more level of recursion than the universe could withstand, it would be forced to pull in on itself and implode). Spoiler Living in a Boring Paradise (sung by Lightsong to the tune of "Amish Paradise"): As I walk through the valley in the city of color I take a look at my priest and realize he's my brother But that's just perfect for an Immortal like me You know I shun serious things like sobriety When I wake in the morning I'm describin' my dreams And Scoot writes them down, those are important it seems — fool And I've been drinkin' and jokin' so long Even Mercystar thinks that my mind is gone I'm God in this land, I'm sarcastic as well I don't b'lieve in Heaven but it feels like I'm in hell But if you drink all your wine and I finish mine Tonight we're going to party and tomorrow we'll feel fine Been spending our new lives Living in a Boring Paradise I look at art, give lame advice Living in a Boring Paradise One breath per week's the price To keep living in this Paradise I can't wait 'til I die twice Then I'll leave this Boring Paradise.

Personification he/him Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 I have a weird question. Does Kelsier ever end up on any currency at any point as far as we know? I am trying to make a parody of the prologue to Hamilton, and I want to put it in to replace "Ten dollar founding father", but the coppermind is strangely lacking on info about any Mistborn currency, despite the fact that we actually have official coin art for both era 1 and era 2 clips and boxings. I know that he is not on those, but from Wax and Wayne I also know that the have many more denominations, and they even have paper money, so more information would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personification he/him Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 @Herowannabe, yes, but that isn't actually recognized currency. I was hoping for an amount given in boxings or clips, and I would be shocked if he wasn't on some of the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
