We know that in the Cosmere, the method of obtaining Investiture is tied to the Intent of the Shard it comes from, although the use of the Investiture is not. For instance, Surgebinders make oaths (Honor) that come from growth as people (Cultivation); Awakeners must be gifted Breath (Endowment); ...
@Jenayah in the most recent edit, it shows everything that was already in the answer as red but also has it as green, making it seem like editors deleted everything then added it again
I honestly don't remember much more but it seems really similar to the howl's moving castle book - but I don't think it is.
I think our protagonist is a girl, it's her uncle's (?) house, and there are many doors inside that leads somewhere one day and somewhere else another day.
I seem to rememb...
I knew that he was a dentist in the movies, and I've read the books, but apparently, he either has a different job, or it's called different in the book... I want to know what this is, any answers die-hard HP fans?

What she means by saying :that was metropolis skyport ?
What’s metropolis skyport?
Our ride to poiseidonis have been grounded?
Is this means a fllying or what? Please explain
I have a few actors here to choose from: Jeremy Shamos, Damian Young, Edward Norton and Micheal Keaton.
I'm aiming for the younger versions of these guys. If my outline were to become a movie, I would let modern CGI do the work to make the young faces and young bodies of these actors. (I know M...
When we first meet the original Turaga (Vakama, Nokama, etc), they have lived on Mata Nui for over 1,000 years, and have built their civilization effectively from scratch there while under constant attack from Rahi controlled by Makuta Teridax. As such, I always assumed their general wisdom, app...
@Stormblessed Often this is the result of a formatting change that doesn't change the text; I think I've seen it with markdown changes, but it might show up even with double-quoting the text. Switching between rendered view and markdown view can help spot the reason, sometimes.
What happens to a world's intelligence agencies and their version of classified information when they join the Federation? Does it get passed on to Starfleet Intelligence? Are they allowed to keep it for themselves?
> I’m a prolific editor but I try and stick to what is on the homepage at the time of editing, bumping old posts, especially ones with accepted answers on story I’d Qs isn’t exactly the best use of time.
So out of curiosity, as this is part of the edits I make, does it annoy you?
I've been editing trying to keep the homepage diverse and all and so far that seems okay but if enough people tell me it's a bother, I'll slow down on these
It's been a few years since I read through the series.
I have the three The First Law books (The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged & Last Argument of Kings) & the three that followed those (Best Served Cold, The Heroes & Red Country), he's still alive (though older) at the end of those.

It is usually due to a markdown change.
In this specific example I removed a couple of the > that get inserted in the middle of a sentence when you click "Insert quote" button. You can see this if you review the side-by-side markdown version.
As for why I did this, well, it's easier to edit a...
I know people have already replied but that was asked on meta only 3 days ago (ish)
I read this story a year and a half ago and I can't for the life of me remember where I found it, the name of it nor who wrote it.
It starts off with some aliens, who can only speak from direct contact, from Mars visiting the planet one closer to the sun (Earth) to make some observations, take d...
Im trying to put together a theroy and I cant find out wether this is the case, I want peoples opionin on wether I can asume this or not. I know the info is not in the books as we never see it happen but I think it might be the case.
I am looking for a synopsis or summary of two Spider Robinson short stories, "It's a Sunny Day", and "Father Paradox". This is kinda a reverse story-identification... I have name and author, I'm looking for what the story is.
Many years ago I ran across a copy of Melancholy Elephants, a collect...
I have yet to see The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part so I am not sure if it answered there and I can't remember it being answered in The Lego Movie.
Who, in universe, wrote and performed the hit song "Everything is Awesome"?
Yeah, he had a Bassett. Got it from the pound, after its previous owner died. Lazy dog, either too lazy or too stupid to get the dog treats from its treat dispensing toy.
Brought it to work with him.
Then one day, the front door was open and it just took off. We had a good laugh seeing him chasing it down the field across from the office.
Okay, it involves Dumbledore attempting to change his fate, by having the prophecy retold without a fanfiction only line surrounding himself removed, and having the fake prophecy stored in the Department Of Mysteries, it explains why the Teacher's interview would have been done in the Pub, where ...
@Jenayah It's a real French name (from the French phrase “vol de mort”, meaning “flight of death”), but Voldemort pronounces it wrong: the T at the end is silence.
So you remember the incident in Harry's first year where Neville gets injured during the first and only flying lesson actually mentioned in the book. Since it's the inciting incident for Harry getting put on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, even though he's only 11 at the time, due to nepotism.
We...
It's a kind of mangled French sentence, from what I've heard, since it can refer to a desire to avoid death, the theft of life from death, (in a broad sense, which is to say theft from death,), or the Flight from Death (in a loose sense.) — James Lawman9 mins ago
@Jenayah Considering the language here and the description I would be incredibly surprised if this was not a troll question. — TheLethalCarrot31 secs ago
There's a well known story about the last chapter of Deathly Hallows, summarized in Wikipedia: She has said that the last chapter of the book was written "in something like 1990", as part of her earliest work on the series. (there's a source attribution too)
In this novel series which has 7 or 8 books, there is a nice little boy who has a scar on his head and was attacked by a racist, misogynistic, patriarchy propagating Nazi loving pig, who killed the little boy's parents with green light and gave the boy a scar. The boy then goes to live with two p...
Only if we're assuming good intentions and it's actually an elderly person asking a genuine question (in which case we might want to stop ridiculing them).
I've always found that a weird one, at what point do you not edit it out? Here it was irrelevant anyway and made the question "salvageable" to a point but at some point it's better to leave it to attract the R/A flags
@NapoleonWilson Aye that's what I mean, there's no real objectiveness to it but at the same time you still want as few people as possible to see the R/A-ness
Since your question is specifically about "blatantly off-topic posts", I'll restrict this answer to the context where the questions are clearly off-topic and none of the users involved want to reopen them.
There's usually no point in editing such posts ...
Questions which are off-topic should u...
@Stormblessed It's going to be deleted anyway so the rep will get reversed and making edits "totally not just for rep..." is in bad faith and not to be encouraged
I'm voting to close this question because this really looks like bad faith (see the revision history) and I don't think this should stay open. Peace, if your question was genuine, you're welcome to tell us so in the comments. — Jenayah32 mins ago
I've for some time now been trying to track down a graphic novel published most likely in the 90's as I read it in the mid to late nighties in my school library.
From what I remember, the main character was a grumpy half-elf character who wore all black, Three Musketeers-style boots, a big cloak...
Right after leaving this comment: "I take a nap for half an hour and come back to see my question put on "hold". I don't understand what that means? Can someone help please" - so either ragequit or troll. ...I say, who cares?
@NapoleonWilson Princess Diana was a squib mistreated by magicals so she got herself into a position of power where she planned to kill off all magicals using a magic suppressing biobomb. Dobby and Winky were trained by Unspeakables to be part of a elite hunter-killer team whose magic was undetectable to Diana's magic sensors.
In Infinity War, Dr Strange looked into the alternating futures to see the outcome of the battle against Thanos. And out of millions of possible outcomes he said that only in one outcome they came out as victorious. In the climax Dr Strange said to Tony that "it is the only way" before disintegra...
