I love the covers for the Stomlight books and I think they're gorgeous, but man, then never align with the characters whose backstoey we're getring throught the book. Way of Kings? Kaladin's flashbacks and Dalinar and Eshonai on the cover. Words of Radiance? Shallan's flashbacks, Kaladin and Szeth on the cover (though one cover has also Shallan on it, which is good). Oathbringer? Dalinar and Jasnah on the cover. Rythm of War? Shallan and Adolin on the cover, Venli's amd Eshonai's backstory (which I think added nothing at all to the plot).

A video my boyfriend (Nashikitsune on Instagram) took when I took him to see Powerwolf in September in Brooklyn.

The very end of the pre-Dancing with the Dead bit.

I so would have got more of this myself if my phone wasn’t dying.

But I love and appreciate him SO. MUCH. for at least getting this.

Taravodium is giving his PowerPoint presentation of what he believes is the greater good for the cosmere and asking Jasnah if she would let Roshar be destroyed to protect all the other planets and honestly he's having this conversation with the wrong person. Can someone please bring in Kelsier? Mr. "I founded a secret organization with the sole purpose of protecting Scadrial from all threats" would thrive in this discussion. And he'd also slap Taravodium square in the face because that's his brand and personally I'd love to see that

Alan Ursillo (the actor who plays Papa Nihil) on The Accent 🗣️

INTERVIEWER: The accent– was that your choice? Was that Tobias? Where did that accent come from? 'Cause it's distinctive; it's perfect. People try to mimic it all the time, the "Seestor", you know, kind of thing. It's adorable. […] ALAN URSILLO: Yes, that's an accent that was given to me to do. So uh, you know, I– there was a lot of guys who interviewed for this. And when they came to me to say "Will you interview for a band and be this character?", I said "Sure." And they said "Well here's the accent you need to do." And I said "OK." And they said "OK, can you do it in Latin?" And so I said "Sure." I'm raised Catholic, so the Latin was easy. So you know, here I am doing my Latin-Transylvania accent. And they went, "You're in." Clergy Talk Podcast interview with Alan Ursillo (Papa Nihil) (July 5, 2024)

I loaned my sister my copy of The Final Empire and she has apparently started reading it because she just texted me that she is imagining Kelsier as Ryan Reynolds and I suppose that is a choice one can make

She's just at the part where they're first talking with Yeden and I am very happy to see this all unfold through her eyes

Okay so, I attended a VERY local event where Falk was a speaker. By very local I mean there were maybe 20 people ins refurbished bar and he just hung out with us after the Q&A

Things that he mentioned in no particular order:

- PW didn't have a crew on tour until around 2008 and it didn't include a sound tech, that came way later

- they used a refurbished truck they bought in ye olden days and one time Matthew said he smelled fire. They told him it was his croissant. It was not his croissant.

- Falk is the organizer and logistics guy for the tour because (my interpretation) he can't stand not knowing if everything is going okay. Including checking the weather constantly during festival season

- he's also super nervous about his keyboards not arriving when they take a flight. Apparently they have been hidden to prank him before.

- the band knows exactly how to push each other's buttons by now and it is being used lmao

- his favorite video shoot was We don't wanna be no saints because his slimy (his words) character was really fun to play and it was a great location

- the tennis video was just a spur of the moment thing. The biggest issue was actually getting a tennis ball because the location is in the middle of nowhere. Roel had to drive to several stores.

- Yes the staff broke, but they fixed it again lmao.

- Falk has murdered at least four harmoniums by now. Most of them were from eBay. One instrument he actually refurbished himself, he showed us photos it was great.

- Also, the guitars in the Sinners of the Seven Seas video were the original stage guitars. They had to have their entire wiring redone after.

- the water corpse pose in Sinners was something he made up because standing in the water, his legs couldn't move the way he wanted them to for his usual poses. Apparently the entire shoot was very physically demanding.

- rain scenes are fine but My Will Be Done was hard because they used water AND wind, and looking chill while being pelted in the face with artificial rain is rough. Also, there were just literally people standing on the sides throwing leaves into the wind for the scene, which is hilarious to me.

- Falk was HORRIBLY seasick during the filming of Sinners. The ship apparently didn't actually move much but the difference in motion patterns to modern ships and the slanted deck was not fun. He was however very appreciative of the ship itself and the crew that worked it.

- Falk forgot the name of Demons are a girl's best friend during the interview lmao

- when i said i liked his tattoos he got excited to show them and seemed almost annoyed that he started so late in life. He's planning a full sleeve apparently (good for him!)

- I was a bit surprised but even when speaking to people who did use heavy dialect, Falk didn't switch from standard German. Some phrases still slipped out certainly and some pronunciation struggles (ch pronounced as sch are an easy tell) but otherwise nope, nothing. I've heard Attila speak more dialect in BtS videos.

- Falk for his perspective on fandom especially in contrast with Ghost and Sleep Token (I answered an ask about that recently) since I was curious if he had an idea why three bands with similar themes have such a different type of fandom around it. His best guess was that Powerwolf are kind of approachable (case in point that I'm writing this) whereas Sleep Token and Tobias from Ghost are more at a distance.

And lastly, not only did I get a picture, I got the title page of my thesis signed (in green marker because I didn't find anything else at my brother's house). And Falk got a copy of my thesis, since he seemed genuinely happy to read it. I really do hope he likes it!

Overall he was an incredibly down to earth, funny, and kind person even four beers in and very very tired. He said bye to us with a hug as well 🥺

Unpopular opinion probably, but yeah... I'm going to pretend Stormlight ended with Oathbringer.

Some storylines were very well excecuted, some rushed. I love Brandon, but I might be not auto-buying all of the cosmere moving forward as I was before, and might focuse more on his standalones and other series. I've read all of cosmere, and now I might be slightly over it. The idea of a mass worlds and planets war is not up my alley, and nor is the more scifi aspect of space tavel and more futuristic technology. Personally not for me.

I think he's a brilliant writer and thinks through his characters and world building lerfectly, but I feel like at some point his books begam feeling repetative in plot points. Both the Lost Metal and WoT felt like rehashes of the ending of the Hero of Ages in various ways. But Hero of Ages felt much more waranted and more satisfying than them.

I loved the progression of Stormlight Archive. It was on the way to become my favorite series. I think about it alot. But RoW and WaT while still having very good parts felt lackluster to me.

Also, if we do get a full on war between cosmere realms, I'm team Scadriel.
