1. People like myself, honestly. My sister pointed this out because Willow is how I am around strangers. But Kydon is how I am around my siblings and good friends at 3 a.m.!

That’s awesome! (Totally understand hanging with friends/siblings late at night. It can be dangerous 🤣) Those characters sound like so much fun!!

2. Janner! F…

Sounds good, I’ll be excited to discuss it when I get there!

@jonas

Exactly! That is very much similar to what I am thinking. It would make sense if they were mortally designed, making the problem a human flaw, though I was thinking of it as some universal inconsistency within reality.

@jonas

That works for me. They don’t need to be talked about, but I just wanted to know if they were present.

That makes sense. If that’s what he said, then that’s how it will go I guess. I agree on the point that it could even come off as almost nihilistic with Adonalsium dying (I do know the basics btw, though I try to avoid spoilers).…[Read more]

@jonas

Yeah, that’s true. I just thought I’d point it out, and I haven’t gotten to RoW yet, but I think I’ll still enjoy it. It is a common complaint I’ve heard about Kaladin specifically, and it isn’t unfounded, I just differ from the view.

@highscribeofaetherium

Lol, thanks! Is there anything I can do to help reassemble your brain?

@jonas

Yeah, since math is basically the language of our universe, and systems like set theory were originally intended to unify mathematics, then could there be a system of laws in reality that mimic that?

Russel’s paradox is basically what ruined…[Read more]

@jonas

That’s fair. It’s true that you don’t want to become preachy about things, but I’m just thinking that if this really is the same God we worship, then that would mean that the same principles of the fall and atonement would be present. Perhaps it could take a completely different form than that, but it could still be there. It could also be…[Read more]

@jonas

I’m in the middle of OB as well, but I looked through your thoughts on the books before. I agree with Whale’s assessment on Kaladin. Suffering is what makes characters interesting to me personally, as well as how they deal with said suffering. Kaladin was often wallowing yes, and obviously not without good reason, but it can still get…[Read more]

@Godlyfantasy12 @lightoverdarkness6

Umm, I am not sure where we left off yeah, but I’m sure we can figure something out!

Do either of you want to RP first? Because if not then I definitely can

@jonas

I like it! So this is within a multiverse of sorts with our universe? Is earth perhaps one of the 12 planets, or is this a different reality completely that God created? Are you going to express the need of a Savior, since this is the same loving Heavenly Father?

Malgrium’s name feels to reminiscent of Melcore and Morgoth to me. Though I…[Read more]

One idea for a magic system that’s been banging around in my head for a while now, but I haven’t quite been able to figure it out is a paradox magic system. I’m specifically thinking of things like russels paradox. Imagine a magic system that is in some way analogues to the principles of set theory. It is a perfectly consistent system, where if…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Love it! It’s a solid, straight forward system. I agree with Jonas’ assessment, though perhaps there are more creative ways of exploring that other than just making it a higher rank. Like what if they are the analogues of the previous two simply expressed by a different people, race, gender, ect. Or perhaps the Soulbinders…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yes!! Into the Sebastianverse!

I would love to read anything you post on here. Your world(s) and characters are so cool.

@jonas

That’s fair, though it doesn’t need to be a full fledged language for things like fantasy. Just enough to have an extra aspect of your world. Brandon Sanderson doesn’t put too much stress on it, just alluding to different concepts in the languages he doesn’t care to explore. I really like to make them though, there’s another dimension of…[Read more]

@jonas

Although Critiques is also a good one to go on for particularly, well, critiquing your writing.

A conlang is a Constructed Language. A language that is made by one or a few people for some purpose. Tolkien popularized conlanging for things like fantasy.

@jonas

Just so I know, where would the best place on the forum be for that? I’m stilling getting used to everything.

Hmmm, there’s actually quite a few places. You can go through the General Writing Discussions page, and look through the most active forums, like the Place to Share… is one, but I would probably make my own on General Writing D…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 Yeah that sounds great!

@loopylin

I haven’t been active in the castle in a while either. It’s kinda been dead. I don’t even know when the last time I RPed in here lol XD

If no one else wants to I could have one of my new characters meet yours? I’m just barely coming up with their design so they really need to be expanded on 😅

@loopylin

Awww cute!! I love the siblings (especially Cody 🥰)
