Commanders' Kickers Absent from Practice as Their Families Welcome New Arrivals

The Washington Commanders faced an unusual situation this week as both of their kickers missed practice on Wednesday. The kicker on the active roster, Zane Gonzalez, and his backup, Greg Joseph, were absent from training for a heartwarming reason: both were welcoming new children into their families. Head coach Dan Quinn shared this news with reporters, conveying the excitement surrounding the…

Cosmere Characters: Should They Be At The Club?

As I think I've mentioned, I write these lists a couple months in advance, usually. So I don't know if the great "They should be at the club!" meme is still going strong, or if people will see this and be all, "Bah! That's SO 2023!" But eh.

So anyway, should Cosmere characters be at the club?

1. Dalinar

Dalinar should not be at the club. Dalinar would not understand the club, and he would not like the club.

2. Sadeas

Weirdly, I think Sadeas would understand the club better than Dalinar would, but he still should not be there. Sadeas's presence would make the club worse, no matter how fashionable he is.

3. Tress

Tress was only eighteen! She should have been at the club, although the club would probably be less exciting than her life at sea.

4. MeLaan

MeLaann is only, uh, thousands of years old (I think) but she should ABSOLUTELY be at the club. She would love the club, and the club would love her too.

5. Rlain

Has Rlain ever NOT been having a tough time? He deserves a wild night at the club with Renarin, and I'm sticking with that.

6. Vivenna

Vivenna was only twenty-two when she was supposed to be sent to marry the god-king. Yes, she should have been at the club instead. She would hate it, though. She would hate it so much.

7. Painter

Painter should get to be at a club lurking in a corner, drinking vodka on the rocks because it sounds tough and wishing it didn't taste so much like rubbing alcohol.

8. Hoid

Hoid should not be at the club. He's very old and also, no one at the club would be able to hear what he was saying and that would make Hoid sad.

9. Demoux

Demoux was in his early twenties when Kelsier's rebellion was going on. He 100% should have been at the club instead. He's named after a friend of Brandon's and Brandon said he'd survive and "get a girl" apparently and those are both things that can happen at a club.

10. Lift

Lift should not be at the club. Isn't she like 13? That's too young for the club.

11. Kaladin

Kaladin should be at the club. Adolin will have to drag him there, though, and he will spend much of the time looking glowery.

12. Ulaam

Ulaam should not go to the club because drunk people cannot consent to giving up their body parts (even after death) and Ulaam knows that and it would make him sad to see all of those beautiful elbows or what-not and not even be able to ASK for them.

13. Sebarial

Sebarial should not be at the club--he should be home drinking with Palona. He would own clubs, though, if he could.

14. Hrathen

Hrathen should not be at the club. He would definitely kill the vibe.

15. Szeth

Szeth is like 35 years old. He should not be at the club. He should be wrapped in a warm blanket and placed somewhere quiet, peaceful.

16. Moash

Yes--at any point in the narrative you can look at what Moash is going through and say, "Would it be better for him to be at the club right now?" and the answer is always yes.

I saw a really cool analysis video about how Mysaria’s hair slowly starts to mirror that of Rhaenyra’s throughout season 2 and it brings me joy to know Elinda might be responsible for this and thus a rhaesaria fan. OR. the idea of Rhaenyra making very subtle requests/suggestions that Mysaria’s hair be done a certain way

Yes I also noticed that as the season progressed Mysaria started braiding her hair more and I fully blame Elinda for it. She was no doubt giving her queen and lady matching battle braids and all so that they can take the time to undo them at night.

someone needs to hold a live reading of tress since it's supposed to be a story told orally by hoid and that's clear throughout. and it should be interactive where the audience participates by for example actually asking the questions he says you might be asking and then tells you not to interrupt. it'd be so much fun.

"My hair is not the color of sunlight, Charlie." "Your hair is the color of sunlight, if sunlight were light brown," Charlie said. It might be said he had a way with words. In that his words often got away.

Hello, friend! I was wondering if you had any Brandon Sanderson recommendations? I really want to get into his writing because it all looks so good, but Alcatraz was my intro and it's a bit tonally different to the others lol. I have started Skyward and Mistborn but got distracted halfway through the second books because ADHD.

I love Skyward and I do hope you get to finish it!

But having to stop because of ADHD is so real and Alcatraz was also my intro. So it is kind of like whiplash going from that to another one of Mr Sanderson’s books. I myself have not read a lot from Brandon books unfortunately 😭, but I do have recommendations.

Steelheart and Elantris are good if you don’t often read fantasy, unlike Mistborn or Way of Kings.

Though I would also suggest Tress of The Emerald Sea. While I haven’t read it myself, I’ve heard it’s a great book you can read even without knowledge from The Cosmere.

There is also Warbreaker, though it is a bit more romance read compared to other Brandon Sanderson books. But only one book of the series is out because if he released the next book, it would spoil bigger, more “popular” books he has planned.

I hope you enjoy yourself and if you choose to start reading more of his books, then welcome to The Cosmere my friend!

Hey. I’m kinda late to the Cosmere Universe party? Anyway, I decided to start with the standalone novels (I read Tress of the Emerald Sea last year and really liked it). I’m so intimidated by the amount of books Brandon Sanderson has written (this is coming from a huge terry pratchett fan). Should I read Mistborn next or Way of Kings? I really have no idea where to start!

Hi!!! Welcome to my sideblog for talking about book stuff (main blog is @violet-arcana)

I'm Lux (most of the time), as of writing this currently I'm a big fan of the Cosmere and working on getting into The Locked Tomb

I will be posting spoilers on this blog, so on this pinned post is a list of tags to block depending on what you don't wanna see spoilers for, I will try to apply these consistently to every post I make

The song King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men makes me think of Tress and Charlie

(Specifically the chorus but also just vibe of the whole song)

Okay I don't know if anyone has posted about this but I NEEDED to express my emotional turmoil.

In Tress, there's a line where Hoid is talking about Huck telling Tress that his betrayal was "for your own good." And he mentions how hard those words are to hear, but that they can be even more difficult to say.

And then he says,

"Oh yes. I've said those words.

I said them with sixteen other people, in fact."

HOID WAS THERE!!!!!

And then there's THIS:

Hoid KNEW the person known as "Adonalsium," or whoever it was before they became Adonalsium.

He knew each of the people who took a shard after the Shattering.

He was there when Adonalsium shattered.

And now he wants to fix his mistakes.

So my questions are:

Why did he and the sixteen decide that Adonalsium needed to be broken?

Why didn't Hoid take a shard?

What made him change his mind and decide that they needed to be reunited? Was it Odium? Were there more reasons than just Rayse?

Gahhhhh I think I'm gonna die.

[shouldprobablybereading]

“it takes place in the same universe and follows the same characters but I promise you can read it as a standalone” is becoming a really annoying new sales pitch
