Brooke and Tyler call in @LiteraryTrope to help push past the brink of sanity with the wildest theories in the Cosmere. Is Nahadon a soup? Are mushrooms everywhere? Is Mare alive?

Cuando todo parecía ir viento en popa (o no), entra la policía de Bilming y todo se va a la porra: aparecen unos dobles bastante creepy, VenDell quiere cobrar por sus huesos, Wax se marca un Matrix, Hoid aparece con total precisión, alguno se echa tremendo whiskazo, Lour cita Divergente y comienzan las pistolas de Chekov (y otras). Hablamos de cierta sombra a la espalda de Armonía, mentes porosas, Fullmetal Alchemist, elegimos la mejor ubicación para una metalmind, debatimos sobre la Fragmentación y la afinidad entre Esquirla y Receptáculo y el capítulo termina con cameo al más puro estilo Disney Channel.
Hasta aquí hemos llegado: es el momento de llamar a la Línea Directa de Armonía y que alguien le de una explicación a Wax porque esto ya no se sostiene. Así que sí, se viene infodump sobre Autonomía y sus quereseres, más explosiones (no es broma que en la contraportada de la edición uno de los críticos llama al libro "un explosivo final a la saga" XDDDDDDDD ME MUERO), Sof nos da una clasecilla de historia, Marasi quiere dormir y no la dejan, Hoid se pone guantes blancos, llegamos a la ciudad de los autónomos y conocemos a Moonlight o Luzdeluna y su curiosa organización secreta.

****DISCLAIMER: A las Cosmirlas nos ha alcanzado la Tormenta Eterna y nos ha reventado la tarjeta de sonido -.- Desgraciadamente nos hemos dado cuenta tarde y nos escucharéis a ratos como si hubiésemos salido a volar con los Corredores del Viento. Sentimos las molestias y pocas gracias a Roshar por venirse a grabar con nosotras.**** Sigamos con la Bachata del Desacuerdo, el Tango del Desamor, la Cumbia Bélica; y abrimos paso con criminales VIP, una fortaleza que cuesta imaginar, personajes que dan pie a mucha teoría (hola, Dieciséis) y otros que… según, dejan notitas en váteres, o les sobra calle, o nos revelan de forma inesperada y se dedican a hacer sudokus. Recibimos una clase express sobre legislación honorspren, Sanderson hace un guiñito a Rothfuss, Patrón se imagina salchichas, Hoid cuenta la historia más amada del Archivo sin mucha ayuda de Diseño, y Lour y Sof rememoran el POV de Jasnah que más les hizo sentir (xd).

Brooke and Tyler invite Tik Tok and Instagram content creator @that.cosmere.chick to discuss the current state of the apps, a Wind and Truth mini-mid-game, and the variance in creating short-form versus long-form content.
