Last Chance To Pledge For Full Negative Book

Badger and I were contemplating what color axehounds should be and then they said there should be sparkle axehounds and that reminded me of My Little Pony and then Badger drew this and it is EXCELLENT.

If you have questions about editing or the Coppermind in general, I would also be happy to help/encourage you :-) 

In the vein of wikipedia’s wikiprojects, I have recently made a few pages which will help people who are looking for a way to contribute to the coppermind but don’t know where to look to find things that need doing. They are a set of pages which list the status of various articles, so you can see which articles really need help. As a new contributor, adding content to the articles in the good or stub categories of your favorite series would be a reasonable place to start.

Alcatraz

Cosmere wide

Elantris & The Emperor’s Soul

Legion

Mistborn: Trilogy, Wax & Wayne, Crafty RPG

The Reckoners

Rithmatist

The Stormlight Archive (warning: this page is huge, there’s just so many articles relating to it it’s still not very usable)

Warbreaker

I'm having trouble getting the next chapter of my Shallan in HP land crossover right, so I've been rereading Shallan chapters trying to figure out why things aren't working.  It's getting there.  In the mean time, have some Pattern thoughts:

“The pattern seemed impossible to capture. Its complex repetitions twisted down into infinity.” (pg 67)

Our dear friend Pattern is a fractal. This much is clear. It takes a while, but Shallan finally gets around to asking Pattern if he has a name beyond the one she has given him. His response:

“Name is numbers. Many numbers. Hard to say. Pattern...Pattern is fine.” (pg 215)

Fractal patterns that are on some level infinitely complex can often be described by seemingly simple equations or sets of rules.

Theory/ Headcanon: Pattern's true name is a mathematical description of his fractal form. The fractal exists in multiple dimensions and his appearance in the physical realm is just one tiny slice of his full form: the intersection of the fractal with the physical realm. His apparently changing patterns are not actually his pattern changing, but instead him moving so that the intersection changes and we get different views of him. His ability to shrink corresponds to moving so that his intersection with the physical realm is smaller.   

Now I really want to know Pattern's true name.

Ohhh... this looks like fun...

Cinderella's fairy godmother is a lightweaver who sent her spren to the ball with Cinderella to maintain the illusion.  The midnight curfew is there because she could only infuse her spren with so much stormlight and the illusion will fail when it runs out.  Maybe the spren stays with the glass slipper and uses the little bit of stormlight it still has to continue maintaining just that part of the illusion...

Princess and the Pea is an easy one, relatively speaking. The princess in question is a tin-compounding Twinborn who got stuck in a touch loop at an early age. The easiest way I can think of for that to work is that she doesn’t know she’s doing it - perhaps she fundamentally doesn’t understand...

Rithmatics: Part 2, the potential for 5 point defenses

In the last post we looked at what happened with acute triangles with three distinct angles, equilateral triangles, and the isosceles right triangle.  In this post we consider non-isosceles right triangles.

The Potential for 5 Point Defenses

Let's consider what happens when we look at non-isosceles right triangles.  As with the 4 point case, the right angle vertex counts as 3 of the 9 points.  The difference here is that the altitude from the right angle vertex no longer bisects the hypotenuse, which gives us a 5th point.  The three side midpoints and the right angle vertex still form a rectangle.  It is interesting to note that the resulting circle has 3 arcs of the same length - the arcs corresponding to the short sides of the rectangle and the one connecting the short leg of the triangle to the hypotenuse.  This seems like it would be important to keep in mind when constructing defenses based on such circles.  Also note that, as with 9 point circles, there are infinitely many variations on the 5 point circle since different right triangles can lead to different bind point spacing.

In the image below I include a speculative idea I've had.  Since there are vertices which count as multiple points in the 9 point construction, it seems from a mathematical perspective like you ought to be able to bind multiple things to this point.  Whether or not this actually works rithmatically is currently unconfirmed. I will hopefully be able to find out at the upcoming Atlanta signing.

My sister @neranishin and I have projects. She got me a piece of faux fur so we can figure out to make a Soonie pup and I found her fleece that I figure would make good skyeel wings. So there are going to be Cosmere plushies :D

This feels like a crazy long shot, but do I know anyone who plays Pokemon Go in the Uxie region?

P is for Prickletac.  

Ok, so after the skyeel came out yesterday, I decided to try a chull today.  I'm not entirely happy with it, but here, have it anyway.

The first oath of the Knights Radiant at the request of sprenborn :D I kinda went all out for this one and I really like how it turned out

kalynaanne made a much needed edit to this photo and I can’t thank her enough
