Wizards are not naturally immortal. In fact, creating their own form of immortality is their graduation thesis.

Was bored so I gave Odysseus a Pokemon team

Lycanroc: Originally a simple housepet as a Rockruff, Lycanroc now mirrors Odysseus's own balance between cunning and ferocity; he is a steadfast companion who never leaves his master's side.

Decidueye: Gifted to him as a Rowlet by Athena, Decidueye is Odysseus's only rival in the field of archery.

Slowking: When Odysseus was given a Slowpoke by his father Laertes, he had assumed it to be some kind of joke; the creature seemed to be incapable of doing anything with any level of competence. In truth, this was a test of Odysseus's ability, and upon its evolution, Slowking became his intellectual equal and top advisor.

Falinks: Encountered by Odysseus during the Trojan War, they impressed each other with their courage and tactical prowess; Falinks quickly agreed to join Odysseus's unit.

Basculegion: Found by Odysseus as a Basculin shortly after leaving Troy; he was intended to be eaten, but Odysseus took a liking to him. He evolved following Poseidon's massacre, and now carries the souls of Odysseus's slain comrades.

Kangaskhan: Odysseus came across Kangaskhan after his encounter with Circe. Sharing its parental instinct, Odysseus took her and her child in as part of his team. When they Mega Evolve, there are few who can stand in their way.

Dude all th3 people saying this is sad or scary

Bro maybe he just loves teaching?? Maybe his kids are what gives his life meaning

Some people do their jobs cause they love them

In a heartfelt demonstration of dedication, a teacher’s last act before his passing was ensuring his students’ assignments were graded. Sandra Venegas captured this emotional moment with a photo of her father Alejandro Navarro working from his hospital bed.

Even while dealing with his own health crisis, he made sure to bring his laptop and charger, knowing he was headed to the emergency room. His unwavering commitment to his students was evident as he diligently completed their grades.

If We Could Teach Earth Slang to Cosmere Characters...

This is directly inspired by @awesomepossumredux's post (here), in which they expressed their desire to teach Adolin "slay" and "fierce" as slang words. Not only is that pure truth, but it made me wonder what other slang should be introduced to various Cosmere characters' vocabularies...

1. Sadeas: Alpha / Beta Male, Snowflake / Woke

Just think about how more obnoxious he would be if Sadeas knew these terms.

Sadeas: Ugh, stop being such a beta, Dalinar. ... Sadeas: Ooooh, are you upset that I betrayed your father, Adolin? You're such a snowflake. Part of the woke mob! ... Sadeas: Alpha males wear orange.

2. Denth: Bromance

I just think he would use innocuous, cutesy slang for evil.

Denth: Now, me and Tonk Fah, we may be mercenaries, but that doesn't mean we know nothing of romance. Denth: Or bromance, as the case may be. Vivenna: What is...bromance? Denth: Don't worry about it.

3. Nightblood: 80s slang

I think that, once introduced, Nightblood would never stop using 80s slang.

Nightblood: We gotta kill that guy! He's bogus! Vasher: ... Nightblood: Come onnnn! Slaying evil is totally groovy! Vasher: ... Vasher: Please stop. Nightblood: Whoa! Take a chill pill! Vasher: ...Awakening steel was definitely a mistake.

4. Kaladin: YOLO

It would just give all of his dramatic entrances a little extra something-something.

Kaladin: Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do. Kaladin: [Takes a second to look Dalinar straight into the eyes] Kaladin (in a fierce whisper): YOLO

5. Anyone on Komashi: High Key / Low Key

I mean, they already have (highly) and (lowly) as tone indicators. I think they'd love this.

Akane: I am (lowly) high-key upset about this.

6. Lopen: Talk to the Hand

His favorite slang term both before and after getting his arm back.

Lopen: Talk to the hand! Lopen: And if that's not enough, talk to the OTHER hand too! Lopen: And if that's not enough, you can talk to Rua's hands too! Rua: [both middle fingers raised] Lopen: Wrong gesture there, gancho, but I like your style!

7. Raoden: Hastag

Something-something Aeons are like computer programs so therefore this makes sense.

Raoden: Ahhh, just look at my beautiful wife! Raoden: Hashtag blessed. Sarene: ...What are you even saying

8. Siri: 90s Slang

I'm not sure why my brain is so convinced that Siri needs to use 90s slang, but I feel it deep in my soul.

Vivenna: Siri, you need to grow up already! Siri: Tch! As if! Siri: I'll get right on that....not!!! Vivenna: Where are you learning to talk like that??

9. Wayne: Gaydar

He maybe needs it.

Wayne: So anyway, I've decided to leave you alone. Ranette: Y-You will? For real? Wayne: Yup. Got gaydar now. Wayne: It's pinging OFF THE CHARTS with you. Ranette: ...I'm dating a woman. Wayne: Yeah that's probably why.

10. Shallan: Literally any slang that will most annoy/puzzle those around her

Shallan would be a MENACE if she had access to slang.

Shallan (leaning against Adolin): Ahhh, evening with the bae! Adolin: The what now ... Shallan: Good point, Kaladin. Based. Kaladin: ...based on what? ... Shallan: Lookin' fly, Daddy-O! Dalinar: ...is that good? ... Shallan: Maaaan, adulting is hard! I am shook! Jasnah: Must...not...kill...ward...with...my...mind... ... Shallan: Wow. That guy is getting wrecked in this duel. Press F to pay respects. Hoid: He is getting pwned to be sure. Shallan: ... Shallan: [tips imaginary hat to Hoid] Hoid: [tips imaginary hat back]

Now I don't agree with his views on morning time but that "also chai" was on point

my little brother & i are having a scholarly debate about mornings

Is no one talking about that stormlight reference? Good work @falliblefabrial

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

[unsavory-melon]

Ah here comes the pain

BLEEDER WAS LESSIE?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK

[unsavory-melon]

finished book 2 does this mean anything or is the reference too niche

People think elantris sucks ligit only because of the smelly hot dumpster that is reddit

Okay when I read elantris for the first time I loved it so much that I reread it immediately after

And then I reread imidiatly after AGAIN it was the best thing my little mind had ever read.

And this was his first book. Elantris is wonderful and everything after only git better. But people don't understand that istborn or stormlight having better writing than elantris doesn't mean that elantrisbis bad.

And why don't they understand? Because REDDIT IS A HELLHOLE. The most braindead place on the internet. AND GUESS WHAT

ELATRIS WASNT WNOUGH FOR THESE FUCKS they're coming after mistborn too

OF YOU DONT LIKE THE BOOKS JUST DONT PARTAKE IN THEM BRO LEAVE US ALONE

I read Elantris for the first time this year and because of all the discourse online I was preparing myself for the Worst Cosmere Book. So imagine my surprise when I absolutely loved it.

Yes, I loved Hrathen, one of Sanderson's best characters for sure. But what about Sarene??? She does suffer from a little of the 'not like other girls' syndrome, but otherwise she's such a great character! She is cunning, smart, strong and compationate. I loved the scene in the library where she's studying politics from the old books in Elantris. You can definitly see that she will become a great queen.

And Raoden. Wonderful, optimistic Raoden. I remember telling someone that I loved reading his chapters and they told me that Raoden was a Gary Sue. Which... sure, I can see that, and he definitely got away with some pretty horrible things (i.e. getting Shaor killed, lying to Sarene about his identity). But reading his parts made me feel so much hope! After the emotional turmoil that was reading Stormlight last year, reading about someone who's life was ruined trying to make the best out of his situation and while also helping other people in his position felt so good!

I agree that Elantris has its faults. But overall it was such a pleasant read. And I needed to read a book like this at the time. People need to be nicer to Elantris.
