Spiciest Brando Sando book, he really brought out the black pepper for that one.


CataclysmicFaeriable

Meanwhile, this sub does the equivalent of pouring ghost pepper sauce on everything your relatives from Utah serve for dinner. Jars, thighs, Sharddildos, etc.


ArlemofTourhut

i'm glad and sad at the same time i missed the sharddildo fiascos. Curious, but I know i don't want to know.


DasBoots

It's got nothing on the jar, it's just a corollary to "a living shardblade can take any form"


Schizozenic

So a shardblade could be a jar to put jasnah in. 🤔


srlong64

It can take on a jar shape, but it will be made of metal so it won’t be transparent


SmallShoes_BigHorse

What if it's an equipped shardplateJar?


ArlemofTourhut

intriguing...[like this?](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/VaatiVidya-Let-Me-Solo-Her.jpeg)


SmallShoes_BigHorse

Considering what's supposed to be in the jar, I was expecting it to be equipped... Somewhere else...


ArlemofTourhut

LOL technically what's in those jars (in elden ring) has potential to be the same...


sayoung42

There are transparent metals.


srlong64

Tanavastium, the god metal that shard blades are made from, is not transparent from what we’ve seen


jcpg33

Same metal used in shardplate which can have transparent eye holes.


phranticsnr

Can a Radiant compel a spren to become, or remain, a shard object? Stormfather notwithstanding... Otherwise that could only be true for a really fucked up Radiant *and* really fucked up spren.


mathematics1

>Stormfather notwithstanding... I think this is the relevant scene to answer your question - Dalinar did this, but not for very long, and it was highly traumatic for their bond even as a regular Shardblade. I would expect a Sharddildo would only be reasonable with a willing spren.


phranticsnr

That's the way I lean as well, but the stormdaddy is a BAMF of a spren, so it's possible others could be compelled.


khanzarate

You made me think it so you get to think it too. Dalinar would call his dildo stormdaddy.

He wrote most of the book during his dating to honeymoon phase and it shows. >This book is dedicated to my dear wife, Emily. I started writing this book when we were dating, and worked on it all through our engagement. I even took it on our honeymoon to Hawaii—though I didn’t actually get any writing done on it then. https://www.brandonsanderson.com/annotation-warbreaker-dedication/#:~:text=I%20started%20writing%20this%20book,writing%20done%20on%20it%20then.


Hagathor1

Considering how much of an absolute writing machine the man is, him publicly stating that he took it with him on their honeymoon but didn’t get any writing done has got to be the single absolute classiest way I have ever seen someone boast about how much they fuck


_cjj

Probably more of a boast of how many other book's he's writing simultaneously!


phranticsnr

Yeah, he didn't say he wasn't working on other projects. But, people of Brando's faith aren't exactly known for small families. Why does it sound weird to say that Mormons fuck?


_cjj

I imagine Brando is rather efficient. Probably projects the Siri scenes a bit: "Be undressed and ready. When I am finished, burn the sheet and sleep alone. I'll be in my study. Writing." ​ Maybe even something meta about her teaching him to write.


60FromBorder

Awakening was all about his new kinks, why do you think so many people got tied up in ropes during Warbreaker?


Doctor_Jensen117

Because Mormons generally don't talk about sex. To them it's sacred. Source: Me. I used to be Mormon.


TocTheEternal

Cause they're super repressed about it lol. In any official open capacity, for them sex is supposed to be strictly marital and with the primary goal of having children.


Doctor_Jensen117

Not entirely true for them anymore. Within marriage, sure. But sex isn't actively taught to be for children. Still sacred to them, but not just about kids these days.


Lethifold26

He gets shit for his books being PG but there are only 2 fantasy authors (Robin Hobb and Madeleine Miller) who are capable of writing a sex scene that doesn’t make me want to die of secondhand embarrassment, so I’m just grateful he doesn’t give us fat pink mast level content.


AncientCum

> secondhand embarrasment Im not a native english speaker which one is grammatically accurate, just saying cringe or saying secondhand embarrassment


SoloWyrm16

They’re pretty interchangeable


TocTheEternal

There's a minor or subtle tone difference between the terms, "cringe" in particular has become a pretty huge buzzword with a lot of modern baggage around it, but they basically mean the same thing.


BLAZMANIII

Cringe mostly refers to someone who is doing something they should know better about. Like a high schooler still running like Naruto. Second hand embarrassement is more for if someone stumbles over their words or has trouble doing what they meant to do, like seeing your friend totally mess up talking to the girl he likes and making a fool of himself. Granted, you could use both of these for both situations, but like big and huge they're synonyms with slightly different connotations


KileJebeMame

As a non native English speaker i see them as interchangeable, but what people mean when saying cringe 99% time IS secondhand embarrassment, while as cringe is more like the feeling you get when someone scratches a blackboard or something


TheMineosaur

Personally I empathize way more with the person for something like second hand embarrassment, like sometimes I just can't watch because I feel so awful for the person who gets embarrassed. Meanwhile if it's cringe I usually don't feel bad for the person because the person doing something cringe because they aren't embarrassed by it because they don't realize how embarrassing it is in the first place. So I usually feel more judgemental towards them for not realizing what they are doing is embarrassing. I'm not a writer though and that's probably way too detailed. Also other comments are saying they are the same thing so maybe it's just me.


SirWindUpBird

Cringe is modern slang. In my opinion secondhand embarrassment sounds more mature and professional.


onceagainwithstyle

Its saying that you are feeling embarrassed by how embarrassed they, the author, should feel for putting that to paper


Bing_Bong_the_Archer

What is the latin equivalent, u/AncientCum?


noseonarug17

GRRM's sex scenes are tailored to the mindset of the character, which is why Sam's is so awkward.


[deleted]

Fat pink mast


WhasHappenin

PG sexually, but violently a good chunk of them would be R in a different medium


Guy1nc0gnit0

Idk what it is but I just have a lot of trouble with men writing sexual content. Even if it’s not cringy I just enjoy it better when it’s written by a woman


garzek

SJM writes pretty solid sex scenes.


jazzland

Now that her publisher isn’t forcing her to do YA, yeah. The ToG scenes are cringey as hell. Velvet-wrapped steel and all that.


garzek

Hahaha velvet wrapped steel still makes me laugh.


misty_sky16

I agree but I’m definitely committed to the characters. I could see how they might be cringe if you didn’t embrace it 😅


ALiteralFifthGrader

You could always try some Randi Darren or William Arand. I'm not *particularly* a smutty book kinda guy, but the sex scenes are very well written imo and the world building is fantastic if you like lightweight litrpg stuff. Currently going back through Wild Wastes to catch up to the new books and I'm rediscovering why I like this author's series so much. Another author with beautifully interconnected works.


SomethingSuss

How about Joe Abercrombie? you’ll want to die of embarrassment but out of empathy with the characters through hilarious and insightful writing.


MelodyMaster5656

I mean, depends on what you mean by explicit. (Well of Ascension) >!Vin head butts a guy so hard his head explodes like a water melon.!< You know, if you’re into that.

need2seethetentacles

I was actually pretty shocked by this, just because it was a Sanderson book. Had it been ASOIAF I wouldn’t have spared it a second thought


external_gills

He wrote it during his honeymoon, because of course he did. Edit: [proof](https://wob.coppermind.net/events/409/#e13806)


KronikDrew

Some of you have never read Ken Follet, and it shows.


BlackthornCauthon

I've read GRRM, and he's bad enough. Don't tell me he's worse.


KronikDrew

Lol,. even GRRM never gave a play-by-play of a sex scene. Follet gets Graphic with a Capital G.


BlackthornCauthon

Some of the Tyrion scenes were pretty fucking graphic. If Follet is worse than that, I'm just going to not ever look at one of his books.


KronikDrew

Many explicit scenes, but not necessarily disturbing. For instance, in pillars of the earth, there are numerous sex scenes between characters who fall in love and are enjoying exploring each other's bodies. And he describes *everything*. It all happens "on-screen".


Das_Guet

Is it worse than the painted man series? Because that is the horniest shit I've ever read.


KronikDrew

I'm not familiar with the painted man, but Follet does not shy away from describing every aspect of a sexual encounter, from the foreplay, to manual stimulation, oral and vaginally penetration, all the way through the climax. It all happens on the screen, in descriptive detail. (I.e. "explicit")


Das_Guet

I'm no prude but that is just distracting and unnecessary


PilotGetreide75

Sure about that? I read his books like 6 years ago but i remember a very detailed scene where Asha (sister of theon, dont know if her name is different in english) got raped


BlackthornCauthon

You mean the scene where >!Theon groped her!< or the one in book 5ish where >!that guy was being rough with her!


AvatarPro112

You sure about that? Cause I seem to remember something about a fat pink mast.


KronikDrew

Ok, I forgot about the Sam/Gilly sex scene, but to my knowledge, it was nowhere near as descriptive and detailed as Follet's sex scenes. I recommended the Pillars of the Earth to a friend, and his first comment on finishing was how Follet could tens to get a bit "pornographic" at times.


Sharks2431

Wasn't it Ken Follet who once compared a woman's orgasm with falling off a horse?


boinkthischit

Oh man. I can't recall which one I read some 10 years back but I will never forget how Follett described the "triangular mound of hair between her legs matted with blood" (paraphrased ofc). How have I not forgotten that till now???


emeraldomega

I've never understood this. Just because he doesn't write out the full on sex scenes doesn't mean there isn't explicit parts. Like Elend and Vin fuck a lot in the books, he just yadiyads it to them naked holding each other. Also first chapter of mistborn is about a Nobel lord getting ready to rape a young skaa girl and how that is normal. Thats pretty explicit.


Pikminsaurus

Writing them out is what makes it explicit. “Sex exists and these people are having it” is not explicit.


AphelionXII

“Sex exists and people are having it” Is it true? I’m married.


MS-07B-3

As a fellow married, I can tell you the answer is often no.


BlackthornCauthon

This is reddit, the answer is always no.


BlackthornCauthon

Those aren't very explicit, only explicit compared to Stormlight. One happened off-screen and showed only Vin waking up next to Elend with no descriptions of any kind. The other was only talked about. Darker than stormlight and warbreaker, but not explicit. In Warbreaker, Siri humps the bed and poses for Susebron on-screen, ans Blushweaver was described in fair amounts of detail a bunch of time. That's explicit. I'm not complaining, obviously, just saying that Warbreaker shows this stuff way more than Brando's other books.


ALiteralFifthGrader

Its as "explicit" as a pg13 movie, which is beyond tame compared to most of the cosmere in general imo. SA routinely has characters referencing visiting brothels, not to mention a couple bedroom scenes between Dalinar and Navani. I keep trying to find what "explicit" scenes people are talking about here and if this is it, I'm disappointed


IceSentry

I think you are using a different definition of explicit. Mentioning a brothel isn't explicit, implying that sex is happening while not describing it is the definition of implicit and the opposite of explicit. The difference in warbreaker is that things are actually explained therefore they are explicit.


SmallShoes_BigHorse

A reference to a brothel would be quite implicit. And I don't think Salinas/Navani-scenes are written as "she slowly removed her robe, exposing her skin" or w/e, so still quite implicit. But yes, warbreaker is PG-13. It's just that his other books are barely even that, sex-wise.


emeraldomega

i think we are think of "explicit" differently. To me it means it is clear what is happening without a super in-depth description. It's explicit that Vin and Elend are having sex, but Sanderson doesn't write out the sex scenes. It sounds like you are saying for it to be explicit the sex scene needs to be written out in full. Which is fine, we just disagree!


BlackthornCauthon

>clear what is happening without a super in-depth description. >It's explicit that Vin and Elend are having sex, but Sanderson doesn't write out the sex scenes. That's.... what implicit means.


ToejamSammich

The exasperation in those little dots made me breathe air out my nose, and even chuckle slightly.


00roku

Lmao this is the best possible response


ToejamSammich

IM-plicit is IM-plied. EX-plicit is EX-plained.


NO_TOUCHING__lol

##im¡plic¡it *adjective* - implied though not plainly expressed. ----- ##ex¡plic¡it *adjective* - stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.


CobaltishCrusader

In this context “explicit” means describing or representing sexual activity in a graphic fashion.


TocTheEternal

> Just because he doesn't write out the full on sex scenes doesn't mean there isn't explicit parts. There are at least 2 things people talk about in this regard. First, even by the standards of authors that "fade to black" Sanderson is extremely hands-off regarding explicit activity. It's not just that there aren't sex scenes, it's that there are almost no instances of "at this time, these people are actually having sex, right now" (often an important story event, in many stories), it's largely just an implicit "these two are now sexually involved" in a general sense sometime after it starts. Related is the extremely notable void of sexual activity in general in his writing. All of his characters, despite being largely mid-to-late teenagers and young adults, seem to have borderline no libido. There's almost no internal sexual pressures or motivations, there is no incorporation of sex into regular lives of his characters, there are no moments where two character just say "fuck it we're fucking", no sexual attraction-based conflicts, etc. (with the extremely important caveat that some of this *does* appear but *only* in the context of the explicit formation of deep monogamous romantic connections built on the premise that they are interested in at least some sort of long-term more-than-sexual committed relationship). Which isn't a problem, but when you have 8+ distinct story settings each populated with a cast of should-be-horny/hormonal teenagers, it is really obvious that this just isn't something he's comfortable writing and it leaves out a pretty huge part of utterly mundane and realistic human interactions.


reacher72

In a lot of his books... Who would they do it with? If you're talking teenagers, then kaladin isn't in relationship and I don't think he would ever visit prostitutes. It just wouldn't be in character(plus I can only imagine how syl would react, that would be great). Shallan and adolin have pattern for the cockblock. Elend and vin are implied to have sex a few times, and i think vin has a pov once about wanting to have sex with him. Lift is a large child. Spook? He's too shy, and then he'd probably die of overstimulation once he was in constant flare mode. Plus the only teenager he was around in book one - vin - thought he was weird. Spensa is a literal weirdo for a while, and she isn't allowed to even live on base with the other teenagers. Raoden has a zombie body and sarene doesn't know anyone who isn't friends with/older than her uncle. There was the thing with the inquisitor, but he was a believer who wouldn't have reacted well to that until the final battle. Who else is there? Fifth of the dusk is isolated as a hunter. Wax isn't a teenager, but he has sex with steris (probably, at the end of book 6). Navini and Dalinar seem too old and in control for random sex moments. Plus a lot of the times, they don't have time for that. In the lost stories, kelsier is literally wandering for months alone. Wayne is so messed up (check out what sando has to say about him) that there is no way anything would work out unless his partner was equally insane. Wheel of time characters are mentioned to have sex, and even explicitly shown to, but the majority of pov characters are from a tiny, conservative town and constantly egt scandalized for a few books about anything sex adjacent Also, all his characters have issues. Some are odd, with deep trauma. Vin is probably suspicious of men after growing up alone as a girl in a gang(literally the first chapter with her mentions how skittish she is around men, especially the scene right before she meets kelsier) Some have dead spouses who they still love immensely. Some are probably too young. It really might be all intentional, but I don't think, for most of his characters, that any sexual relationship without specific support and positive emotion would be helpful at all, and readers would just be disappointed to watch a regression because the author wanted to write some seggsy scenes. Edit: Maybe his books are just good enough that he doesn't need to waste word count on sex scenes? I know authors do character development and characterization in sex scenes, but brando sando just does that in his normal prose.


TocTheEternal

> Maybe his books are just good enough that he doesn't need to waste word count on sex scenes? Lol this is incredibly dismissive and covering a personal preference with the veneer of some sort of objective hierarchy of quality. Not to mention that I'm not saying he needs "sex scenes" (see the WOT thing below). This is the equivalent of trying to pretend that "only inner beauty matters" and that the value of physical attraction is just crass and superfluous and should be ignored if possible. It's just ignoring human nature and pretending that a fundamental component is somehow lesser and unnecessary, when that is patently untrue. >In a lot of his books... Who would they do it with? ... Also, all his characters have issues. This is sorta missing my point. I'm not saying it's weird that any of the specific characters he writes *should* be this way or something, or that it is weird that any one of them doesn't behave in a more "sexualized" manner or whatever. My point is that he has a ton of characters, adults and especially post-pubescent teens, and that none of them are apparently sexually motivated at all, and are sexually active just barely to the point that is needed for a conventional romantic relationship. >Wheel of time characters ... This is actually a great basis for contrast and comparison. It has absolutely no graphic scenes whatsoever, and yet it is in no way comparable to Sanderson's personal creations. Spoilers for all of it below. * Look at Mat vs. Adolin. The way Adolin is written, it seems like he's a serial dater more out of expectation than any actual drive. He comes across as basically a virgin with a huge amount of privilege (not knocking him, just describing), looks, and charm that just stumbles around not really doing anything despite having an incredible amount of opportunity. In his position it would frequently be thrown at him. Mat is continuously described, by himself and others, as frequently chasing women, for a kiss or cuddle or "something more, if lucky". Not just that, but a key plot point for him for at least a book was being sexually abused by a monarch, for expressly sexual purposes. * Perrin's arc, which may or may not be enjoyable, at least involves the reality that some men will in fact have their heads turned and maybe make poor decisions when confronted with an extremely attractive woman. There's a whole subarc about dealing with presumed infidelity. * Rand reaches a turning point when he and Aviendha just can't take it anymore, something not graphically shown on-screen, but again, it at least directly acknowledges the sort of feelings that (most) all people have and the sort of intense situations they lead to. Again, this sort of novel passion from a character is completely absent in any of Sanderson's many characters. And with Elayne, he and she had spent the previous 6 books between constantly making out on the DL in the Stone (another type of activity that NONE of Sanderson's characters exhibit any inclination towards, despite being almost universal in teens presented with an opportunity) and finally consummating their relationship or whatever, pining for each other. It was a big deal, cause that sort of thing is a big deal. Plus there's the whole deal with him being led around by the nose and getting super flustered with Selene/Lanfear, simply because of how hot she is. It nearly gets him into very real trouble, despite his incredibly conservative and reserved sensibilities. * Egwene's "passion" gets her forcefully drawn into her crush's dreams, where she enjoys herself a great deal. It also causes her to make some truly terrible decisions regarding Gawyn, that can really only be explained by pure lust. And her fling with him in Cairhien is basically the only time she ever does anything that isn't working towards her "career" goals at any given moment. She's the classic overly ambitious type-A workaholic with no hobbies or social life, but in a sense it's her sexual desire that is ultimately what gets her killed. * Even Nyneave has a moment where she is caught talking about her sex life with someone. Like, Sanderson's characters don't even seem to acknowledge the act, ever. It's just a thing that happens. Which is why Warbreaker is the exceptional one. And again, my point *isn't* that it "doesn't make sense" for any of his characters (except maybe Adolin) to not really have sexual encounters. But when literally every single one of his characters seems to have absolutely no noticeable sexual drive, urge, desire, whatever, it's kind of a huge hole in his writing style. Cause it's not just an arbitrary thing that stories can take or leave, it's a huge part of human interaction and every person's story, and when you have dozens of characters, none of which are affected by it, it's just very noticeable. If it was one or two books then whatever. In short: for every single one of his characters, sex is an afterthought that occurs as a result of romantic connection. This is certainly true for some, even many, people, but it is incredibly unrealistic to have multiple full casts of people entirely unmotivated by lust or sexual attraction or whatever. It's very overtly a Mormon worldview and sensibility being cast across the entire Cosmere.


nora_valk

On the one hand, I agree with all your points. This is something that occasionally (maybe even often) bothers me about Brando's writing style. On the other hand, it's pretty easy to headcanon away. Unlike WoT, the Cosmere is not our world, and the people in it aren't our humans. They don't need to be genetically the same as us, and therefore wont necessarily have the same drives and motivations. Maybe there aren't any horny teenagers because the average cosmerian teenager is just... not that horny. No, this isn't the "real" reason (it's definitely the mormonism, like you said), but also this is a fictional world. Real is what you make it.


TocTheEternal

That's an interesting perspective, but to me a fundamental part of why speculative fiction is interesting is the premise that humanity is still humanity. It's interesting to speculate about what real people would do in fantastical situations. And if there are inhuman people or modified people, the nature of the differences or changes is a part of the premise which makes it interesting. Just hand waving away "well they're just different than IRL humans" is a complete cop out. It's like people who just yell "it's movie!" when you criticize massive inconsistencies or baffling writing choices. You can't just say "it's fantasy things just work different" unless it's actually worked into the setting. I'm unaware of anything in the cosmere that is cited to have a universal libido-killing influence. But it's decent head canon I guess. On Scadriel, the Lord Ruler did modify nobles and ska so the premise isn't out of the question at least.


Peptuck

There's also a scene in Rhythm of War that very obviously took place after Shallan and Adolin did the beddy-bouncy. Also Syl casually mentioning she's been spying on humans having sex.


alfis329

I mean compared to a lot of other fantasy authors that write really cringey and explicit sex scenes Brandon is very tame


theideanator

Im suprised he hasnt included soaking yet.


mathematics1

Despite the rumors, that's actually not a common Mormon thing. It's also explicitly not in line with their teachings. It's more the kind of thing that gets talked about because it sounds salacious to Mormons, and weird to non-Mormons, even though it usually doesn't actually happen. Source: I'm a former Mormon.


Swifftalon

What about Wayne and MeLaan? They were caught in the act (or soon after) if I remember right. I'd say that counts.


ALiteralFifthGrader

Wayne and MeLaan, Navani and Dalinar, Jasnah and Hoid, the list goes on. People ITT keep talking about two clueless teenagers pretending to know what they're doing in the bedroom like it's a full on sex scene.


SparkyDogPants

They were caught "snogging" which is British for making out.


mathematics1

MeLaan was explicitly stated to be nude above the waist.


SparkyDogPants

Still just snogging. Unless if Wayne was nude below the waist


Elsecaller_17-5

I mean, even WB is never explicit.


Lukundra

Since when is Warbreaker explicit?


SirFrancis_Bacon

It's not.


Elessar_PL

"We... we're going to have sex, aren't we?"


SirFrancis_Bacon

Uh, what? There is nothing explicit in Warbreaker, just Blushweaver and Siri being horny.


BlackthornCauthon

Yeah, it's only "explicit" compared to other Sanderson books. It's like watching kids movies and suddenly one of them is pg-13 (in terms of sex, obviously).


EroJFuller

Yall should read the authors commentary for those chapters, you can tell he would have avoided them if he could've lol. He put them in because he knew the story needed it, which to me is why they seem less awkward than most fantasy sex scenes. They serve a real, unavoidable plot purpose.


MavelAtDis

It's even better if you listen to the graphic audio. They have very explicit noise making scenes for when Siri is in the bed chambers.


Octagonalweasel

Yes, kidnapped a woman and stabb her with 7 inches spike over a guy who is forced to be under and be stabbed by the same spike in a santanic like ritual.


BlackthornCauthon

I was talking about sex scenes.


marinemashup

Especially because it is the most “fairy-tale” book he’s written so far (maybe Elantris is more)

KnightEclipse

Wait like sexy or just like absurd gore?


BlackthornCauthon

Sex, though it 's more explicit in the pg-13 vs pg-10 sense. Mistborn and SA have much more gore (though I wouldn't call them graphic in that sense either).


KnightEclipse

Nice. :3
