Right, but I’m asking about what would really happen when the glitches come about? Though they would originally be errors, I’m trying to think of ways they might have specifically unique effects that could be used, no longer a mistake, but a feature.

@jonas

Yeah, I was confused by your first message for a second😂 I’ve played with the idea for a while now of a Turing complete magic system for the particular purpose of creating paradoxes, but everything I’ve done just doesn’t work for me yet. I’m definitely gonna keep working on it though, because I’m the stubborn type😅 I still wonder though,…[Read more]

@jonas

Yeah, I mean, if nothing else, Sanderson himself is their god. He’s joked about how writing can be about playing god before. He does himself have his own beliefs he subscribes to, that of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a religion he and I actually share, so it would be odd if he subjected his characters to a cruel reality…[Read more]

@jonas

Yeah, that’s always been an issue I’ve had with stuff like Harry Potter. If explained in that light, it would actually become significantly more intriguing. I’ve had the thought before, but haven’t explored it too much. If sci-fi is regarded as a magic system, then that could be coxed into the idea of human made magic systems, though they…[Read more]

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…

@light-warrior-pen

I love suspense, although I have only watched suspense movies.

My WIP isn’t really focused on it, but a couple of crucial parts involve romance. Mostly with the older MC because she almost married someone before they got captured, then someone from her past who she was betrothed to comes back into the story. So her…[Read more]

@jonas

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]

@esther-c

Whew! All the questions!

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.!

2. Janner! From the Wingfeather Saga

3. C.S. Lewis, Jesus, and my Grandfather.

@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]

@freedomwriter76

*sobs*

No!!!!!!!! I love Bucky and Steve

I can’t lose either of them

@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]

@freedomwriter76

Prepares myself

Yes please tell me

@freedomwriter76

Ooh interesting

The endgame one is one I’ve thought about a lot, especially with the soul stone

@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]

@freedomwriter76

Aww poor kids… and the whole sibling argument is totally realistic XD

@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]
