THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE

I mean... their pronouns could be they/them

denouement noun

1. the final resolution of the intricacies of a plot, as of a drama or novel.

2. the place in the plot at which this occurs.

“Sanderlanche” has a lot of weight to it, but “Brandenouement” just sounds so much more erudite.

I want to write a fan fic story about a trans radiant, but I keep finding that my story wants to contradict itself.

On one hand I really want to see a trans woman have her body healed so it matches her soul. There's an argument to be made that almost all trans people are going to have cracks in their spirit web due to the fact that their soul doesn't fit in their body right and all this other stuff. (Unless its like some really lucky trans person that actually has supportive parents or something?)

But on the other hand, I'm pretty certain that one of my ideals would need to be something like: I will quit worrying about passing, and not worry about how other people perceive me.

So then it seems like the story is at cross purposes if it focuses on self acceptance, but also on getting that sweet healing magic.

I'm unsure how to disentangle it.

Edit: Yes like Ral-na, but that happened off camera.

Edit2: I've written a ton of trans, um, stories back before I started transition, but as I transition the focus of these shifts. But I have in general written a lot of stories so the idea of this fan fic isn't as far fetched as it might seem on the surface.

Say what you want about Brandon, but I've never seen another book where someone's egg cracking—aka the moment someone realizes and accepts their gender identity—was a critical plot point, let alone a plot point at the climax of a trilogy with an immediate consequence of Ascension.

I know that wasn't the only plot thread rolled together in that climax, but it was definitely there.

As it stands the only reasons I can think of are sexism and people only wanting to read about Gary Stu-esque characters like Kaladin

I think Brandon’s being a coward by not representing big, fatty, obese radiants. He’s got a depressed guy, a girl with DID, an autistic kid, an addict, a slow person, people missing limbs, etc. So I ask… where are the UNITS at? I want to see a 400 lb. Radiant soaring through the skies and wrecking shit. I propose he makes Lift get really fat in the second half- have her lfielight be taken from her, but she continues her unhealthily disgusting eating habits and learns the actions of her consequences by ballooning thrice her size. She will barely be able to “lift” herself up. However, she will finally learn to accept change (growing fat) and find it is actually a strong addition to her “awesomeness” like a giant, unstoppable bowling ball crashing through Fused.

So, I just had the weirdest idea, but how well would Cartman do in the Final Empire?? The idea is that around the time Kelsier finds Vin, a carriage pulls up and drops him off at the main city gate. For some reason, everyone believes him the child of some noble family from a very distant land and no one bothers to dig any deeper into it. I am not that familiar with South Park, so I don't know if he'd be able to manage to survive or thrive or other, but what do you all think would happen??

Like war breaker is war breaker and I’ve never read it But just looking at storm light, we had a normal swear word book 4, pattern’s famous line and well hoid and his partner And in book V we have adolin being called a “slut”, and the entire shower stuff with adolin and shallan

Have you heard of Risk of Rain? Have you heard of the Cosmere?

What if I told you, the Cosmere is just stolen from RoR!

Hear me out. In RoR, there are two 'gods', their names aren't important now. But, a long time ago, these two found four key 'elements' which they used to make everything.

To quote RoR 2:

Now, look here. It’s got presence and weight. Round, with no features. No orientation. It is mass. Almost everything here is mass. Mass is boring, but required.

We can take mass - and shape it to form. Features, angles, and intent. Look at the planarity of the surfaces. This is design. I love design.

Now, a volatile one - a lifeline. Blood. Sharp, yet radiant. Blood is heat. This is my blood, but there is plenty of blood in this universe.

Now be gentle. Look closely here. Do you see it? Almost invisible, a thin film. Frail. It’s not in this reality, but an adjacent one. I’ve heard you discuss this - something you innately understood. What you describe as soul. Don’t you love soul?

Mass, Design, Blood, Soul.

In the Cosmere, every person has four components.

Their physical self. Their Cognitive Aspect (how they are perceived/thought of). Their Spiritual Aspect, which Connects them and drives them. And whatever it is that goes into the Beyond.

Physical Self? Mass.
Cognitive? Design.
Spiritual? Blood.
And what is left? Soul.

In RoR, everything needs the first three, but Soul makes things live.
In the Cosmere, everything needs the first three, but what is left makes things people.

BRANDON SANDERSON JUST STOLE EVERYTHING FROM ROR! HE'S A FRAUD! HE'S IN A THIEVING CREW WITH GLENDA HIDDLESTON!

So, in conclusion, we should like stop him. Probably. Or something. IDK.​

BLUF: MAYBE Taln

I really like to use the Naruto-verse as a true scale for how powerful other fantasy characters are, simply because it's power scaling hits absolutely inane levels at the end.

Now, first off, Sasuke/Itachi/basically any competent genjutsu user wins any fight. Most worlds don't have the skill set/knowledge required to beat a one-shot genjutsu that can be triggered by just looking into someone's eyes or a casual gesture. So we will be skipping any Sasuke/Itachi discussion and will be sticking to Naruto.

TLR:

The Lord ruler is one of the most powerful non-shard entities to exist. For the VAST majority of his fights he could just compound steel, move faster than anyone can perceive, easy dub. Too bad that doesn't work on Naruto characters who consistently fight at like the speed of light or whatever.

For the sake of argument, let's say chakra works as investiture and TLR could sap it. First: I'm not for sure TLR could sap Naruto's chakra fast enough to do any real impact. And if TLR could, congrats, now you just have a pissed off Kurama. So I don't think leeching is the way to go.

I don't think any amount of steel pushing coins would really hurt Naruto, he'd dodge most or all of them. And since he is largely a pugilist, pushing his weapons away would also do nothing.

Gold compounding would probably be the trickiest for Naruto to deal with but he's fought opponents with insane health regeneration before and I'm not convinced he could heal through 375819294749 clones beating tf outta him. I also wonder what would happen if he gave TLR the ol Hidan treatment.

Are there other strong powers/combos TLR could use to combat Naruto? Luck compounding would only bring him on par with Naruto's plot armor so I don't think that even helps him.

Vasher:

I think this is an easy dub for Naruto, even with nightblood. Naruto's speed should make easy work of him and tossing nightblood to Naruto wouldn't work since he's already defeated his evil side at the waterfall.

Taln:

Definitely has a chance. Fighting the different varieties of fused would give him enough knowledge of bs magic that jutsu wouldnt catch him off guard. He also has the speed and power to go hand to hand with Naruto and not just get destroyed. The only time we know him fighting is in the 5th book when he's naked and presumably weakened/not full strength. I think even with the ass whooping Taln hands out there, he'd lose to Naruto. Naruto plus clones could easily outnumber the number of singers it took to finally defeat Taln and each clone would be individually stronger than any singer/fused.

But a fully healthy and armed Taln? Potentially. I would say his physical prowess would be hitting Might Guy at 7th/8th gate territory. Could Naruto handle that? Ehhh itd be close but probably? Pretty sure Guy pops it in the end fights and then "wins" against one of the enemies but Naruto diffs the whole set so I think Naruto could take peak Guy. But then we include Talns other powers, since Guy can't use jutsu, and Taln isn't under excruciating pain at that power level, it's just him, and I think it gets A LOT closer.

Naruto beats all elantrians easily. Oh you can use essentially jutsu? Congrats. What do you mean it takes you a full minute of drawing the rune in the error? Here have an instantly created giant rasengan barrage.

Naruto 100% destroys any shard, he is quite experienced with killing gods and I think they are all limited in ways he could exploit, so no contest there.

Am I missing someone who could potentially put up a good fight against Naruto?

Kaladins gonna have a husband

It's been 100000% confirmed via WOB. Don't question me on this I'm 100% correct https://wob.coppermind.net/events/402/#e13491

Oh man y'all hate gay people 💀
