How To Mistborn 

UNDERRATED COMMENT Mostly because of how absolutely outlandish it must sound to the people in this comment section who get it without context

@@kavlan453 Do eat atium

In Wax's case it's kinda true

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Hmmm I do love throwing money to mortally wound my enemies

I will believe you. Yet... these three book covers look like horrible, tacky, stiff, generic, run of the mill, loaded with self-importance, no fun, bullshit.

@@j.m.w.5064 Read the books. I hereby give my personal pledge to refund your purchase thereof if you can convincingly categorize the contents of said books to meet at least 6 of the 8 criteria you have labeled above to your own satisfaction. You be the judge. Let me know what payment method you prefer.

@@laurelkeeper Hey. That is actually a nice challenge and I am willing to be positively surprised. I know what's happening since the covers of Terry Pratchett after the 90s are more than awful and don't do him justice. And my version of Dune is so hilariously ugly that I started to like it just for the sake of it. But I still can't help but dispair about those covers. And synopsis. They are the worst. Cheers!

@@j.m.w.5064 Did you/will you end up reading them?

this implies that you have seen solid excuses to prance around in mistcloak

@@alexasnider1176 This implies you need an excuse for prancing about in a mistcloak

@@MoonlitWyvern fair

You mean the solidest justification for writing off the cost of a Mistcloak as a business expense.

@@wclark3196 Gotta exploit those tax breaks. They'd just siphon the funds to keep a ghost of a shell on life support to act as a figurehead.

Mistborn is a fantasy series by Brandon Sanderson with a magic system revolving around ingesting metals to manipulate opposing forces. It's a great start to Sanderson, if you're a fantasy lover I absolutely recommend it!

Same

Same here, I had no idea what these Mistborn people were but I thought the video was hilarious anyways.

To all those who have no idea, please please read the books, Mistborn is amazing (and a really good introduction to the cosmere books)

Sempai noticed me!

From what I hear, if you can avoid follow-up questions, "The magic system is enthralling" is the way to fake your way through any conversation about any given Brandon Sanderson series.

@@tristanhaller8399 100% true

It sounds to THIS refugee from Michael Stackpole and J._. R_wling that the author is DESPERATELY trying to avoid the words "walk," "run," or "sat." Tell me, reader of the books: is there also an avoidance of the word "said"? Because I love books that avoid the word "said".

@@quietone610 No, he doesn't micromanage dialogue much. He avoids walk run and sat because his novels contain a lot of slick, stylized action, closer to what you'd expect in a superhero movie, vs say a war movie.

Woah woah woah, campy with good arcs? I'm in.

that’s one of my favourite quotes

"Kell, that didn't make any sense." "We Mistborn need not make sense."

@Nobody Kell agrees, and adds that he doesn't just SOUND magnificent.

You could make a religion out of this

@@kavlan453 Also a multiversal criminal syndicate.

and TRUST lol

My depression @ me

I chose to believe that the ribbons are somehow perforated so anyone trying to grab/restrain you by the tassles will overextend themselves

@@242nicolas You are describing a toilet-paper cloak.

@@GoneZombie well no, but actually no

It says in the books that the cloak is worn so that if it gets pulled, it just comes off.

Exception to the first: if your dreamy noble boyfriend mentions that he likes it longer. :P

Don't: Stand Do: Tower

@@Korban1066 And most importantly: Don't stand towers, bring them down to your level.

Does he tower maladroitly?

@@alansmithee419 seems like wax would be better at that.

If my memory serves, he was a mistling, not a mistborn. I assume the video on how to mistling comes later...

The tineyes see all the sitters.

just don’t sit normally. do anything else

Now I'm picturing Kelsier cast with Johnathan Frakes. Thank you for that

Yep, he kinda does that a lot 😂

We stan stage combat.

It's well worth the read imo If you're looking for a good fantasy novel, the Mistborn trilogy is a good shout

With Mary Ella

Mistborn is a series of fantasy novels by American author Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson is known for his elaborate worldbuilding and detailed magic systems. If you enjoy fantasy fiction, they are definitely worth reading.

Not only do they have a good magic system, fascinating worldbuilding full of twists, and basically just a lot of twists and subversions, the character arcs are really satisfying and well-done.

That's... actually not far off for Mistborn.

Kelsior in a nutshell

And hemalurgists have to pick up the pieces of both of them.

@@beng9790 Your comment is gold

@@fernandoiturbide9109 No, atium

@@beng9790 I'm pretty sure that others pick up the pieces after Hemalurgists, not the other way around.

Or if you're like Kelsier and Vin, just don't read. Easier to avoid a style faux pas that way

Also, read with all the pages of the book/manuscript scattered about the room in piles.

YES!!

Wait you need time to procrastinate? Isn't the whole point that we allways have time for it?

@@Eldoran1989 Time to read haha.

Now THAT is a whole ass mood, my good sir

Six actually. also best get on that. Brandon Sanderson writes books at a level of output approaching "Stephen King on cocaine".

@@DataumCats So just Stephen King

I do believe you've broken the code!

Ok this made me burst ou cackling in my room in the middle of the night so here, have a like

Pfft, you are clearly western spy. Any true slav know that tracksuit is most practical clothing!

@@rodrikforrester6989 I've never found one with pockets where my phone doesn't immediately try to jump out at every opportunity :P

@@BarbarianGod True slav only use Nokia phone. If you do not need phone, can use as weapon!

That was originally a Kelsier quote.

I tried *so fricking HARD* to get into Stormlight. I must have started Way of Kings THREE SEPERATE TIMES. you know how TFE starts off with a chapter that is basicly Kelsier giving the reader a tutorial all about how allomancy works? so you learn the rules of the magic RIGHT AWAY and can keep up? there's NOTHING like that for Stormlight, and if I'm not wracking my brain to figure out HOW the magic works - or even where it *is* - I'm grinding my teeth at the idiocy and incompancy the protagonist characters are exibiting, to the point where i'm actually CHEERING ON the parshendi. the guys who signed a peace treaty specificaly to get close enough to assasinate a king and spark the entire series, and don't (to my knowledge) have a single named character between them

😁 Welcome, you are indeed early!

eat a soda can and see what happens. Best-case scenario, you prove Allomancy is real. Worst-case, you go to the hospital. I think those odds are worth it!

Probably not a good idea to start with lead. Or Uranium. Try eating a kit kat. And the packaging.

@@AllaMortify tbf, I don’t think lead is an allomantic metal, so it’s kinda pointless anyway.

Harry Potter or Harry Dresden?

@@carsonrush3352 in this case, Dresden

DON'T: survive DO: survive anyway

Don't lie down, Do recline. Preferably in a cloud of Copper Smoke, it's not dramatic if they can see you.

@@anuragbh6302 you know a copper cloud isn't a literal cloud. It just hides the signature bronze burning detects

it's technically described as having a lower half made of ribbons or strips, if I remember correctly.

Probably only around Luthadel, and even then mistborns are quite rare.

If they’re made of a natural fibre, then they wouldn’t be QUITE as rustle-ey as mine was, but who wants to hem 200 x 1.3m strips of cloth? (Not me!)
