Cosmere Connections

Wax as a child. Wax as a gun. Wax USING a gun! He stops a firebug only to later become chained to a kleptomaniac. Harmony sure moves in mysterious ways, eh?
This is season 7 episode 1 of Cosmere Connections and we are covering Mistborn: Bands of Mourning’s Prologue! We will be operating under the assumption that you have read the initial Mistborn Trilogy (if not, check out the episodes we have already covered for them) and the previous two books of Era 2. We try our very best not to spoil or ruin anything for you. Read first and then come back. We’ll be waiting!

WE ARE BACK!
The first (labelled) book of the Hoid Travels collection has arrived and - woah, this can't be right... We didn't love it? Is that allowed?
John, Kay, Reader, and Swiggity are here to discuss what they did enjoy about the book, what they didn't, and other aspects of how Brandon and the Cosmere may continue. So make sure you're tapping the spiritual realm, because this may go a bit long. 

Here is a link to the artwork of the book: https://coppermind.net/wiki/The_Fires_of_December/Interior_art
as well as the game John references: https://cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/fit650x1000/cms/feature/125446/okami_pose.jpg

Marasi helps a new governor come into power, assists a kandra in the suicide of the previous one, then sets her sights on the threat of Trell. Why not Wax? Because God broke him, his heart, and his ex-wife… Again. The Collective also discusses Harmony’s place when it comes to free will and if He should punish those who He knows will commit crimes.
This is season 6 episode 9 of Cosmere Connections and we are covering Mistborn: Shadows of Self’s Epilogue, Broadsheet, and Ars Arcanum!

Revelations unfurl as the identity (identities!) of Bleeder come alight under the burning city of Elendel. As Wax holds her at gunpoint, Wayne, Marasi, and MeLaan may just forever change the way things are run in this city as they try to stop the rioted riot from ruining anything else.

A lot of references to Era 1 from the dog’s kandra lips. Marewill flowers, a city on the brink of collapse, an old ally, holy bands, a return to familiar locations, and even the relics of a long-dead world and the remains who saved it. But in Innate’s secret safe, Marasi finds an island’s worth of files relating to his horrible deeds and Ranette drops off some loot for Wax’s strange order. As Wax realizes Bleeder’s plan, Wayne sees it in action before coming to the realization of who she’s disguised as. Then, beasts attack! Aiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee!

Wax stops to interrupt a man’s massage therapy after he claims to have seen the devil while Marasi convinces her boss that an evil cryptic is behind every bad thing going on in the city. Bleeder shows up, kills [REDACTED] (noooo!) and runs away, leaving Wax to catch a ride with his uncle on the way to the Homeland. Hopefully this talk will go better than the one he had with the elusive kandra.

Let’s go to church. Pick your favorite, the conservative Survivorists with their cool new sculpture nailed to the wall, the Pathians and their open-door/building policy, and, Wayne’s favorite, a pub. At one of these we’ll meet our favorite chaotic-good demigod MeLaan!

For the first time in Cosmere Connections history, everyone gets a ball chapter (well, everyone who covers a chapter this episode). Wayne becomes a mathematician (uh oh), Wax gets flirted on (oooh), and Bleeder monologues via hemalurgic bluetooth (huh?!). This then leads to a trap set by the Set with MeLaan to the rescue! Remember her? WE DO!

This is no normal mystery, it’s a SUPERNATURAL mystery. The assassin? A Faceless Immortal? The client? God, Harmony Himself. The detectives include a man with a past of crossing his eyes, a kleptomaniac who stalks a woman with a self-given runny nose, and a woman desperate to prove herself by being within steps of a gunfight. Again.

What’s a political party without bribery? And what’s a start of a Cosmere book without a bit (lot) of bloodshed? But before we get to that, Wax, Wayne, and Marasi hunt down the masked Marksman via motorcar into the slums. There we see a face from the past, just how useful Wayne can be, and how Marasi is now packing heat! Then it’s time to focus on a psychopathic Steelrunner.
