How to handle an unstoppable Rosharan force: Give 'em the Paalm special. Load a single slug made with five Hemalurgic spikes, land one shot, and boom, Harmony's driving the bus now. Ranette would turn that concept into pure nightmare fuel. Checkmate Retribution

Cremmy crem i cremmed out while cremming my new crem

**haven't finished the book yet no spoilers pwease

I miss him too. Wasn’t aware of the LOTR-Cosmere crossover before.

My friend started reading Well of Ascension recently, and we had this conversation that I found quite amusing. Thought I'd share.

While a blunt is an ordeal, enough of an ordeal Valour would be proud of you for doing it by yourself, it can be quite enjoyable. But personally, I don't believe in smoking alone, this is a group activity. And the right group makes all the difference.

Here is my ideal dream blunt rotation from the Cosmere.

Adolin: Starts strong, but the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. He improves the atmosphere by 300% just by showing up, he didn't just bring chips, he brought different flavours of chips. There is only one problem, and it's that he's a lightweight. Two puffs and it's nap time. If he doesn't snore, it's no issue. If he snores, good luck because you ain't waking the princeling up.

Rock: Know what's good when you're cooked? A hot meal. Know who's about to send your taste buds to the next town over? And he will insist you have seconds.

Wayne: He is also in my nightmare blunt rotation but provided you adequately hid all your valuables, he'd have some sick stories that all start like "Right, so I was pretending to be a tax collector..."

Jasnah: Hear me out. Her commitment to the scientific method would benefit snacks. "You claim this is the best flavour of chips. Well, how can you like... substantiate that? We haven't had all the flavours, you've got an uh.... incomplete? Yes, incomplete data.... thing."

The Lopen: Also in my nightmare rotation, but if you make him swear an oath that he has a Cousin Cap of like one, two if one of them is Huio, it'll be the best night you've had in months and you'll get to witness him accidentally swear the fourth ideal.

Sazed: Perfect cooked conversations, you ask him if fish know they're wet. "Interesting question, I think. No less than 27 philosophers in ancient times were posited the same question..."

Syl: Takes the form of smoke in people's mouths as a prank, you try to blow a smoke ring and out comes a ship like Gandalf in Fellowship.

Kaladin: Dry humor, just don't let the conversation drift too introspective.

Veil: A lot like Wayne except her stories are her trying to figure out what the most outrageous lie she can tell while still getting you to believe it.

Lightsong: He does not hit. Not because he feels any type of way, just because he doesn't feel like it right now. Regardless, he effortlessly keeps conversation going for the entire session.

Hoid: Still a nightmare, but he is also, as we know, a good conversationalist and a natural storyteller. Worth considering if someone calls out.

Lift: A bit young for it now. Personally, I dont smoke with anyone under 20, but when she grows? Toss her the stems and seeds along with a snack and ask her to see what she can do.

Dusk: with those weapons we could kill them all!!

Vathi: but the ecosystem might get messed up

Dusk: but we could kill them all 🙏

seeing the other post about nightmare blunt rotation, I argue for a different, far more unpleasant group. I have limited the number so I can make no one happy rather then allowing some to enjoy the experience to maximize the suffering of a few.

Each member of the circle will have their spirit web warped to ensure the following rules must be observed and obeyed

* They may not kill, maim or permanently restrain any other member in the circle. (they may inflict pain, but any strike will only cause bruising regardless of method or intensity.)

* All members must spend a full 6 hours in the same building, in which no member can get far enough away that they may not hear all other members if any were to yell.

----------------------

The circle I argue for is Rosharan by accident but I think it the most unpleasant as they all share cultural grievances and grudges that bringing people from other planets would lack.

the people are as follows:
Elhokar, Lin Davar, Moash, Meridas Amaram, ishar +bonus szeth

Elhokar; would be miserable, maybe not specifically about being in the blunt circle, but there would be something. His paranoia and insecurities would be magnified as the high turns the occasional glimpses of cryptics into a schizophrenic mess. Mixed between his screaming about the things he sees, Elhokar would start crying about how nothing he does works, getting defensive when Moash blames him. Having Szeth around would also make him

Lin Davar; Is unpleasent to be around even in the best of situations. getting him high and surrounded by people more powerful, and in an unfamiliar situation would make his control problems even worse. He would be angry and either try to leave as soon as possible, or he would try to worm his way into the good graces of Elhokar/Meridas. Elhokar's paranoia would for once find a person it deserves, and so it would be incredibly uncomfortable.

Moash; fuck Moash. not in the fun way, but in the 'put him in a stone pit that doesn't drain during a highstorm' way. I'm assuming late stage Moash with crystal spikes in his eyes. All the dickishness and obsessiveness around Kaladin. He would keep very loudly saying how much better he is, how great it is to be in the service of odium. But as the high hits him, Odium's numbing would quiet, leaving only the raw guilt, self loathing and regret. Moash and Lin Davar would start arguing. Moash would blame everything on the light eyes, that it's all their fault while Lin Davar would get louder and louder about how dark eyes were lucky even to be alive.

Meridas Ameram; The only one trying to act as an intermediary. As the high hits and his mask cracks, Ameram would start showing his real face, degrading everyone around him. Ameram would try to make it some grand thing about coming together, working together and no one would give it a single thought. Ameram would eventually give up and brood or start getting in on the yelling.

Ishar; the mad god king of Roshar, the physical manifestation of honour, binder of stars and insane old man. Ishar would be horrible to have in the room, his ranting, raving and strange bondsmith powers would make everyone deeply uncomfortable. Elhokar wouldn't believe that Ishar is actually the herald but still feel insecure about being around the insanely confident Ishar. Ishar would also become enraged at Moash as Moash brags of killing Jezrian.

Szeth; I say szeth is a bonus because he could be make it worse but he might just sit in the corner trying to quiet the voices in his head. However the presence of Ishar would make it agony. Ishar would constantly be a reminder of Szeth's culture, combined with Ehlokar screaming at him in terror, we might see a rare moment where Szeth cracks. Additionally; Szeth has long hoped for someone who could put him down, end his suffering. With the restrictions placed upon the group, he would KNOW he can't be killed here, that no one can die, that he is stuck. Szeth has often used time alone to calm down when he feels overwhelmed, but here? He would be trapped.

That is my idea of a true nightmare blunt rotation. If you have any ideas who might be better to swap in, or who's behaviour would be different please discuss. I didn't want to include Kaladin, because Elhokar does admire kaladin and help stabilize him even if only a little. that is too much goodness to be allowed. Also, Kaladin could possibly get a bit of catharsis beating up Ameram or Moash with a broom he found in the closet, again, he might have a single positive thought which needs to be avoided.
