Wayne could've been Mischief instead of Harmony. Satisfy Ruin by messing stuff up all the time, but only a little. Satisfy Preservation by making the mess ups causally keep things from changing too much. Similarly ineffective as Harmony, but more fun.

Post Wind and Truth addendum time :P

When’s he gonna talk about the greatest invested weapon of all: the stick?

Thanks for the video! It was super informative!

Mhmm, mhmmm, oh yeah! I know some of these words! ✨️

idk who this dude is but he living life for sure

Fast forward 30 years to when we get a What If series for the Cosmere.

actually, i believe that anti-stormlight is not exactly anti-investiture, rather it is kinda charged by a force, opposite of honor. another explanation could be soundwaves, as those were used to create it, but i don't understand enough about that to speak confidently

Brandon Sanderson Cosplay when?

I believe there was an annotation that said if the war between Hallandren and Idris continued, Yesteel would have taught the Idrians how to Awaken steel. Meaning if the war went on as planned, more Nightbloods would have been created

Every time I see you post a new video I have a little party inside my head! I ignore about half the videos my subscriptions post, but I watch every single one of yours. As long as you're making videos, I'll be watching them.

Omg I love your videos so sad I didn’t run into you at dsnx

As a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I greatly thank you for calling us by our full and real name instead of “Mormons” or “The LDS” and even though a small thing is greatly appreciated

Spoilers for WaT Man I hope you won't have to go to Roshar for a while, Retribution is not someone you want to meet. Plus the big time bubble around the planet you will be there for years in hour time just to film a video

I need to get my hands on bavadins secret. Gonna have to learn to create mini perpendicularity.

I gotta find a reliable perpendicularity. All of these worlds seem so interesting.

Bro this is an accurate depiction of everytime either of us texts the other to hang out or talk Cosmere haha

This is a very accurate depiction of what it’s like trying to find a time to hang out with you 😂

Spoiler to Mistborn era 1 and Secret History: I like to believe that the shades don't go on like other people in other worlds because there is no perpendicularity on Threnody, unlike in Scadrial when Kelsier was greeted by Preservation in the Cognitive Realm following his death, but Threnody not having a perpendicularity means that the dead cannot move on to the Cognitive Realm to the place of no return, therefore they stay in the Physical Realm, rotten, lose their sanity by the Investiture that got twisted after the Shattering of Ambition, stated by Khriss.

Thanks so much for posting this! I missed out on this panel during the con and was really bummed.

Biggest Cosmere butterfly effect: what if Aidan had stopped dragging his feet and bought a ticket to go to Dragonsteel Nexus?

33:40 Isn't the nowhere a version of the Spiritual Realm?

Finally, was so sad I missed this one. Stupid cool to see you do a panel

I really liked these What Ifs.

Thanks for posting this! This was one of the panels I sadly missed out on attending.

I knew you were big into this series but I didn’t know you were part of panels for it! Maybe I need to finally get into it… what’s the best place to start? It seems like it’s quite a big series now lol

What if Vasher had revealed his true self before the Court of God's as soon as they started debating whether or not to go to war?

What if Rashek had been benevolent? Also, what if he had been able to use the Well of Ascension again?

"what kind of hat would he wear?..."😂

Your comment on the socioeconomic implications of the currency of the Cosmere is very interesting. What you think about how almost every currency in the Cosmere is utilitarian; they all have purpose outside of being money: spheres can be light sources, and coins can be pushed off of.

I feel like the "God Beyond" is not necessarily an entity, more like the concept of death and what comes after. Even the Shards said, that they don't know what comes after death, if there's another realm or what else happens to the souls of the dead when they get sucked into the tiny sun in shadesmar. I think the God Beyond is just that, the belief that theres a purpose to the universe, that there's a "real" God out there, compareable to the abrahamic God. Like when Dalinar talkes about the Almighty. He says that Honor was not the Almighty and Adonalsium wasn't the Almighty either, because the Almighty couldn't have been killed. The Almighty for Dalinar is just the concept of a God how we know it. I think that's what the God Beyond is too, just under a different name. If it actually exists or not is as much up for debate as the question of the existence of the abrahamic God is here.

Love the video, love that you did the whole thing on a beach. I'd really like to see more content on the physics of the cosmere (realmatics?), sort of a scientific lens like what Khriss provides in the ars arcanums or Sigzil and Navani's perspectives in Stormlight. Keep it up man! Edit: and of course Marasi's perspective!

❤

Clearly, the trick is to go as a worldhopper from Scadrial and bring your drinks in your vials.

(This got long, I'm sorry lmao) Nodding along hard to a lot of this! The atmosphere and setting were fantastic, exceeded my expectations. I totally missed that the glyphward station was a thing when I was there, but that's on me for not exploring enough. The performances I did manage to see were really fun, great acting. But after I left the edge of the dance floor to do other stuff, I lost the chance to see anything else lol. I'm short and that made it worse but I think even tall people probably had trouble because everyone was crowded around and not moving and I don't really blame anyone because they also paid to see the show, but yeah it was ROUGH. I was in the late night Friday session and still thought the music was insanely loud a lot of the time. Maybe that's autism speaking, but it was pretty uncomfortable at times. And this is in contrast to barely being able to make out what the actors were saying a bunch of the time - I heard there were mic issues in our session at least but also I just have trouble hearing people speak sometimes, and I wish there'd been a script to stand in as real-life captions. Kinda want to know what's going on lol. (I was lucky to be fairly close to Chana getting rushed out but I also have heard that if you weren't, some people had no idea that anything was happening at all.) I didn't have the chouta, wasn't a fan of the curry. Loved the drinks though (violet and orange for me). Some of the other Shardcasters and I lined up to get in fairly early and when we got in I went straight for the drinks bc I heard the lines were bad, and got my second drink much later in the night when things were calmer, but it was also hard to tell where the lines WERE a lot of the time which was stressful whether or not I was in one because trying to figure out if I was in the way or where I should go was difficult. Dragonsteel could have and imo should have communicated more about what the event was, especially when it's so expensive and requires dressing up. You don't have to give away everything that's going to happen, but a more precise and accurate description would have done wonders. I also really think they should've made the menu public ahead of time, esp with it being so limited (there's only so much you can do in a big event like this, they can't have unlimited options, but it does make things harder); there are so many different kinds of food issues or allergies or preferences that people have, and going into the event not really knowing if you'll be able to eat there or how you will be eating is not fun. Overall I think Dragonsteel needs to stop leaning so hard on "there's always another secret" and learn that it's a better experience when not EVERYTHING is a secret. (But that's a topic of conversation that could go for a while.) Did I ultimately have a good time and do I want to go to the next one? Yeah. But yeah, there were some big hiccups too.

Petition to be your official chouta taste tester in that future video 🙏🏻

It's crazy that it took you so long for drinks. In our session there were drink lines, but they only took about 5 minutes (or less) to get through. The lines for signing the guest book or any of the character photo ops were the ones that really took a long time for us. We didn't get to do any of the character photo ops or meetings because we chose to wait to sign the guest book.

I went to session 4 and still had a lot of notes for things that were various levels of rough, but my goodness the set was beautiful!

Everyone I was in line with expected a seated dinner experience. As soon as I realized it was a “Knight’s Tale”-ing of a modern wedding into the setting, it met all of my new expectations.

Heya Jason, Do you have a discord server?

I loved what they were going for. But agree with the criticisms. So hard to see anything. And drink queue was real. Agree with the loudness... Which is why i always always always have a pair of earplugs on me in my keychain. I did love the emo music at the end, but for me that was bonus inside joke time.

Yes, give us the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll 100% take that chouta recipe video, I've been wanting a recipe to try out.

Hey there fellow first night survivor! A lot of your feelings echo my own. The music being too loud, the lines being two long, and the seating being a bit too sparse were really rough. By the time we got through the hour long line my friend really needed a drink so we were in the drink line. We then stepped out of the drinkline to watch the first part of the show and had a good view of the speeches, first dance, and Sandersons speach. We missed the rest of the performances so we could get my friend something to drink. By the time she had a drink the volume of the music was really overwhelming her so we ended up taking a few more pictures... skipping the foodline and heading out. I definately feel like less people for the first session while they worked out some of the kinks might have helped. That many people in the room did make it a bit unweldy. That being said i am curious to see how they improve the event for next year. Ive been to dragonsteel for 3 years now and each year they listen to feed back and do there best to address and improve attendees experiences. Shout out to the actors though they knocked it outta the park

I saw the title and immediately said Threnody. I’m glad to know other people share my opinion!

I'm wondering if the third type of bond could be something similar to honor blades (or, spoilers for wind and truth, night blood after learning how) being able to grant surges. Those are heavily invested entities in the physical realm there are able to grant power.

Hey Jason! It was a pleasure meeting you at the ball, though I'm sorry you didn't get to talk to Jackson as much as Wit. Thank you very much for all the kind words about my performance. I really did work hard at being punchable and getting a good voice down, and those seemed to be two qualities that people especially enjoyed from the character! It was a ton of fun and I'm beyond grateful to have had the experience. Definitely the first show had the most hiccups, the rest went pretty smoothly. The drink lines, as far as I could tell, were also *significantly* better in future sessions. The folks who put together the event had to use the catering company provided by the convention center, so they should get a little grace there since they were stuck with no options, the folks handling food/drink weren't their staff, etc. But I believe they got their act together for future shows and the lines were more normal. The music *was* loud that first night. For the next two days I had to rest my voice for most of the day and chug tea because I'd spent the first night yelling over the music so I could actually interact/engage with people! So you're spot on there too. They did turn that down in future sessions. Anyway, I think you've got a lot of great feedback here. Something tells me the seating issues and visuals especially will be big learning points for the future! If there's a silver lining about that first show it'd probably be: If I'm remembering correctly, this was the only show Brandon attended that people were allowed to mingle with him at. He came to a later event, but we kindly (Wit unkindly) asked people to leave him be so he could enjoy the night with his family like any other attendee. The other silver lining for this show was that this one was *before* we realized that people were stealing tons of extra goblets to take home to their friends, and future shows we had to do disclaimers to ask people NOT to take them because they would be getting a free one lololol. So some people who went to the first night heisted tons of goblets! 😂

Their chouta was likely soulcasted

I think a lot of people expected a sit down dinner. Also, the goblet was a big part of the price?!? I mean they are great but I'd rather have a sit down meal than a take away goblet. Oh well.
