Does anyone else cast him as Tom Hindleston in your mindteathre?

Elend was definitely my favourite character in Mistborn, he became a total chad

Hope you are doing well! Can't wait to see you back

Willshapers can use spiritual cohesion to combine the physical realm with the spiritual realm and thus teleport. Jasnah (Elsecaller) used transportation in the city of Thaylenah Battle. She transported her soulcasting to others. It was incredibly impactful. Lightweavers can "substantiate" their illusions into near-real objects, which are nearly as sharp and deadly as a shardblade. They can materialize weapons at will from behind their opponents, making them extremely unpredictable. They could soulcast a wall behind their opponent, then use hard light to slam them into the wall, or stab them from below or behind. Dustbringers can ignite the air. They can use abrasion to make things more abrasive and rough. Dustbringers rock.

Seems odd that when all the Heralds went to braize(to hold off the voidbringers), desolations were only a few years apart. Yet after the last desolation, Taln was able to hold them off for 4500 years by himself.

One thing I wonder. If Hoid had the chance to ascend as the others did does that mean there is a free floating piece of Adonalsium out there? Did he give it to someone who wasnt involved in the shattering? Did someone take up two pieces?

What a silly dude

And here I thought I was the only South African that's heard of this series

Engagement 🎉

Who the hell is Felt 😅 I need to re read mistborn

Why not Vin like she faught the Inquisitors

Ey a South African channel, what are the odds. You've got a sub :)

Thank you very much!! This video has illuminated the mess I had in my head about the Heralds. Without a doubt you are a Radiant Knight of the order that governs Pallia, a Truthwatcher 🤩

Controlling the investiture economy would be huge... And i cant want to see an allomancer and surgebinder sparring

I predict that transportation will also include teleportation at some point, making Elsecallers terrifying

Can I watch this before reading RoW?

I was in college when Potter came out. I will always say "it's not a good series. You don't ##$*&#$ing explain how wands work in the final book. No being for kids is not an excuse." /cheeky crabby rant

Does anyone know why Raven stopped making videos?

In all of my amateur, never to be published fiction. The same first line always appears "It's not easy, being the daughter of a Goddess". I suppose the limits of my writing are exposed by never coming up with a second sentence, to rival that. The first sentence opens the door. The second sentence shows you what is behind it. I peaked with the door. Oh Dear.

I'm fine with the traditional fantasy races as long as you do something unique with them. Like how an elf from skyrim will differ from an elf from dragonage. They may both be immortal, pointed eared humans but their history and motivations bring you to two different conclusions about them.

Hrm, out of date. The Ghostbloods are primarily Scadrian, though they do operate heavily on Roshar. Also, we know exactly where Vasher is.

Hoid is the body of Adonalsium

Ever played paladin in vanilla wow? Progression (+patience) is pretty powerful in combat.

I'm with you on this one. Hrathen was easily my favorite character, and I found myself enjoying the scenes that he was in more than any others. Hearing his thoughts made me feel the tension, the disillusionment, the struggle, and the determination that comprised his character. Raoden and Sarene have their own journeys and arcs, but Hrathen's is the most poignant and visceral.

So... i got further into the cosmere, and did some research, most of the comments assume that a shardblade instant kills marsh, except Brandon has said i interviews that BloodMakers (gold Fuecharmy) can heal a wound from a ShardBlade. So this fight is far from one sided.

Abrasion allows control over friction of other things too. See Edge dancer when Lift uses it to make a window open quietly

Bro, Bondsmiths #9??? What did the god-king of Tukar teach you? He did ridiculously powerful things that we don't even understand. Heck, Ishar with his Bondsmith abilities changed the world and created the orders, potentially the spren and the surgebinding

Update: Virtuosity shard named in Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

So they basically want to become the Guild Navigators in Dune. Control the most valuable resource in the universe, and through it, control transportation

Moash>Kaladin

It's kinda hard to take your analysis sincerely when you repeatedly use woke and other terms to discuss the sometimes admittedly skewed viewpoints on the left when it comes to diverse casting, yet barely remark on the much more destructive and biased viewpoints that emanate from the right whenever a character (even completely original ones) are anything other than straight and white. You also barely remark on the decades of casting where traditionally POC characters are played by white actors on screen even when the characters' racial heritage is integral to their story, examples that still persist to today (from years of blackface and minstrel-portrayals in older media to more recent examples like Ancient One in Dr Strange played by Tilda Swinton, and ScarJo in Ghost In The Shell, come to mind). Your analysis tackles raceswapping of white characters for black or poc actors, even though the reverse is much more pervasive and more detrimental to storytelling and the craft of acting since black/actors already have very few roles in most popular media and any raceswapping for white actors further lessens opportunities for poc actors on screen. You barely remark on the fact that most shouts against any sort of diverse casting in Hollywood these days are indeed heavily rooted in racist, homophobic, misogynist or xenophobic sentiments and rarely actual legitimate critiques against the quality of storytelling. It's hard to accept your take as a centrist position on diverse casting if your talking points skew critical of the leftist takes and are not nearly as critical of the right-leaning positions. Just my two cents...

You’re missing he also gained the power of an Elantrian

As someone who suffers from mental illness, he doesn't write it very well at all. Because real mental illness has the habit of rearing it's ugly head when you need it least in your life. If's not conveniently not a factor as soon as you need to perform in order for the plot to happen. Also, stuff like PTSD makes you emotionally volatile with anger issues. Yet we never see Kaladin or Dalinar or any of the other characters that have to be traumatised by the stuff they went through, irrationally lash out at random people around them. Unlike for example my granddad who fought in WW2. None of them show realistic PTSD in their social interactions. They are perpetually nice to each other at a level that is unrealistic even for totally healthy individuals. The characters are pretty much all one dimensional.

Vin was the character that stopped me reading the books, because she is not only obnoxious but her character progress is utterly unrealistic.

Rlain and renarin?

Worth noting is that these "laws" are tenets Sanderson set _for himself,_ specifically, based on what he has found works best for his own writing. They make perfect sense if you're Brandon Sanderson, and they might be handy if you want to write _like_ Brandon Sanderson or find that you have a similar style. (i.e. you _really_ like very specific hard magic systems.) But they're not going to apply to all works of fantasy, because everyone has their own taste and methods of worldbuilding and storytelling. Brandon has said as much himself, and I think it's important to clarify that when discussing this subject. Case in point, I personally have some issues with the second law, or at least parts of it: I don't like magic having costs, and I think it should be limited in terms of scope and power but not necessarily in application. My approach is to have the basic mechanics of the system be as simple as possible while allowing for maximum versatility and creativity.

Up 🇧🇷❤️🇧🇷❤️

I don't agree with you there are no advantages to some things they are not gray and are just bad on every level the things you think are the benefits are things that were largely already there and in most cases they have been delayed by colonism the consequences are still there so leaving history behind only makes it easier to continue economic colonism I would recommend reading The Divide and How Europe Underdeveloped Africa I think you will find them interesting

Interesting take, but I strong disagree. Raoden goes from a hopeless bureaucrat dreamer who has never been tested, to a leader who has been refined through the fire ... but not lost his ideals along the way.

Glad the algorithm put one of your videos after a i watched something from a different channel. Ill be checking out alot of your play list and am lookinb forward to it. Great channel, you got a sub from me. Thanx

The Ghost bloods seem like one of those side quests that are seemingly going nowhere. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not really invested (pun intended) in what they're doing...

Thing is, I have this nasty assumption that I can't write until the world itself is finished at least to 70-80%. Otherwise it wouldn't feel alive enough, only mere decorations, and I don't want to risk those decorations falling apart once you start looking closer. Or even worse - have some aspect of the lore be left unexplained for the time being, write for a while, then come up with a brilliant explanation for that aspect, only that it would clash with what you've had already written, so you'd have to not just edit a lot, but start completely from scratch. I want things to be logical and plausible, I want everything to make sense, to avoid plot holes.

Thankyou

Kelsier is deeply evil, every bit ad evil as taravangian, ruin, the lord ruler, or Rayse. He is nothing but a murdering and a egotist, caring only for himself. He never really cared for the skaa or freedom or anything. If anyone believes their is a good quality Kelsier possesses they are guaranteed, all the way, maximum level wrong. Some people mistake this because he helped overthrow the Lord Ruler and fought Ruin as well as other deeds that look good if only looked at by the deed itself. Even sacrificing himself wasnt done for good or altruistic reasons. Kelsier did everything people mistake as good merely to get revenge on the Lord Ruler and later Laras and Ruin for being the gods that made the world fucked up. Kelsier hasnt even changed sense becoming immortal. He started a group called the Ghostbloods merely because he wants power. He wants to be considered a god. He only protects Scadrial not to protect the people the way a real hero would but merely because he is purely, undoubtedly, irreparably, and irrefutably evil and thus the world is HIS and the people are HIS and so must not be harmed to taken over because only HE is allowed to do that. Its the bull shit his Ghostbloods have been up to that made organizations like the Set able to rise up as well as beings like Autonomy being able to get a foothold on Scadrial. There are some good people in the Ghostblood but they are being lied to and fooled by Kelsier. He keeps secrets from those who thinks he doesnt and has them thinking he still has power when he doesnt because his ego wont allow him to let others see themselves as more powerful than himself. He keeps all secrets from others while allowing them to have none from him. He believes HIS murders are good and justified because they must be ad HE is the one doing them. He knows he is evil and does not secretly believe he is a hero. He knows he is equally or even more evil than the Lord Ruler but is okay with that. He embraces it. He knows Roshar is about to fall and refuses to even a little bit help. Instead he wants his people to do as many evil things as possible to get what he is after as quickly as possible as only it is what he wants only that matters. If he cannot get what he wants from Roshar then he happily wants it to hurry up and fall no matter the death toll because he might be able to achive his goals more easily if everyone that could resist him is dead. If an evil Shard like Odium offered Kelsier everything he wanted but in exhange he would have to betray and kill his own Ghostbloods he wouod gleefully do so and revel and enjoy the fuck out of their shock and despair as he betrays, tortures, and then murders them. He wouldnt even allow their murder to be swift or just a death as he would also mangle their souls by ripping them apart to make Hemalurgic spikes and enjoy it extra that they die extra badly and extra painfully while they just get killed and he still gets the only part of them he sees any use or value in, their powers. Kelsier hates all people but himself and respects nobody but himself. People only have value if they produce something he can use, have skills he can use, and are instantly hated rejected when they do not. Their only purpose then is to be horrifically tortured for any useful information they have, then hideously murdered slowly and to ultimately become a spike. This is the only methods he will use as they are the ones that let gim have fun with torture and murder. For daring to not be useful enough to him to justify their not being tortured and murdered by way of becoming a spike. Its THEIR fault they are being tortured and murdered. They torture and murder thenselves. They force him to do these things to them against his will by not having done more or knowing more or being more important in a way that benefits him. Its their fsult they become spikes because they have to pay for forcing him to murder and torture them so it might as well result in them at least becoming something finally useful, a hemalurgic spike. That way at least some part of them can finally not be a total failure and waste of existence. He enjoys hurting and killing them because its his revenge against them for not just being useful right away but forcing him to against his will exert effort on forcing them to become something useful versus just being that automatically. If they cant do even that much they arent allowed to be alive. Because in their place could be a useful, not useless failure that can be of benefit to him. So endless billions just need to be tortured and killed until his goals are achieved and all thats left is a mix of people who are all at least some type of useful. Its because of this philosophy he has active via his agents on Roshar that turns Roshar against Scadrial and causes the two to war in the far future Cosmere. The reason he and Hoid hate each other so badly is because they are exactly the same and are both rwually evil and selfish. People like the Lord Ruler are the purest of heroes compared to these two as at least he did have good intentions and tried to save the world and fix the issues brought by Ruin. And even Ruin the Shard is innocent in comparison as its just a Shard forced to act as it muat per its Intent. The only being the the entire Cosmere as evil as Kelsier in all the different ways Kelsier is evil is in fact Hoid who told the people of Roshar he would willingly let Roshar fall if doing ao got gim what he wanted and kept Odium stuck there. The Rosharans NEED to suffer and die and they should not just gleefully and happily like this being done to them but WANT this to be done to them. Odium being free would make Hoid's schemes a tiny bit harder, less than a trillionth of a trillionth of a single percent harder over millennia. Their lives arent valuable enough and nor are they csred about enough or important enough to cause Hoid even that small annoyance. Its just millions and even billions eventually of useless people dying. That can never be cared about because a trillion times zero and still zero and thus thats all the consideration they are allowed to be afforded. Its their fault for not being important, powerful, knowledgeable, or valuable enough to convince him to care about them. Currently Rosharans are doing the only thing that gives them any value to either Hoid or Kelsier, and thats dying in droves and suffering to the point their minds literally break to keep Odium occupied. All of these things are irreparable, objective, and irrefutable facts that cannot be denied or even challenged to the tiniest or slightest degree by anyone who is actually saying objectively true things. Some will say otherwise but only because they want and need Kelsier or even Hoid to be good and heroes because they are fooled or they knowingly lie because they are just as bad but hide it because if tohers knew or they acted on it their lives would fall apart in the real world. So they need these two evil fucks to not be evil because that means they can believe or fool others into thinking they arent evil. But not even the slightest nugget of true evidence can be offered to refute these facts as there isnt any. The books clearly paint exactly only this precise description of these two characters and offers no other interpretation accept by those who are deluded or are purposely lying to hide their natures. Kelser needs and deserves to die but I am glad he isnt because the stories need a real villain to commit these atrocities so that we csn be entertained by them. And so a real hero like Kaladin or Wax can stop them. Or me, but Sanderson cant ever create a hero in his story as good or innocent or objective as me as that level of competence and not being flawed would be boring. Not much of a story if the hero with pathetic ease immediately finds the villain and kills them within 5 hours tops of starting the role, ya know?

nice video

Ek het so paar jaar terug Way of Kings gelees. Hierdie jaar het ek Words of Radiance en Oathbreaker gelees. Maar ek het die Graphic Audio reeks ook gekry. Dis baie goed. Ek geniet tans Rhythm of War.

They seem to pretty clearly be a scadriel *nationalist society. (*nationalist isnt the right word but their whole purpose is to protect scadriel from other worlds)

The series does hint that bonding is a more powerful form / magic system.

I know tress doesn't have a real magic system but I still love the midnight spores, I always thought of them like little venoms
