just remembered how during christmas break we got stopped at three different tsa checks cause they had no idea what the Dense Block in my moms backpack could be other than a bomb or brick of drugs. shout out Way of Kings by brandon sanderson!

this thing is 4x2.5x7 inches. literally more than half as thick as it is wide.

*clenches fist* kaladin would want me to keep going

i kind of sympathize with Sadeas re: Dalinar in Way of Kings. if I knew a guy who was basically like a rabid dog barely contained on a leash back when we were launching a military coup together and he had a kill count of like 999999999 civilians and then he had a complete mental breakdown and then came back from it like "hey I'm Catholic now and by the way God Is Speaking To Me and told me the apocalypse is coming" well i probably wouldn't want that guy in charge of anything either. to be honest

Questioner

I just want to say that the Worldhopper Ball was incredible.

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, all the actors and staff did a really great job.

Questioner

I especially liked the actor who played Hoid.

Brandon Sanderson

There wasn't— we didn't— we didn't hire anyone to play Hoid.

Questioner

So, Jasnah breaking up with Wit via text. Worst breakup in the cosmere, am I right?

Brandon Sanderson

I think the worst breakup in the cosmere was when Dalinar burnt his wife to death along with thousands of innocents—

So how did the Shattered Plains get their features? Was it a Singer vibration related thing? Cosmological?

Brandon Sanderson

Ah fuck that would have been smart. I just wrote that Adonalsium dropped it.

The culture of Shinovar divides people into “those who add” and “those who subtract”. How is their culture going to change once they develop more advanced mathematics?

Brandon Sanderson

You’ll see some of that in Stormlight 6, actually. One of Szeth’s second cousins is one who exponentiates.

books arent political when the majority of the plot is power struggles between warring factions or the relationship between the church/the government/the people or the ideological differences between two nations that have very different ideas about war and commerce trying to build an alliance or challenging a literal caste system or accepting your ancestor's own roles in the colonization of an indigenous nation. books are only about politics when men are kissingggggggggg
