Mistborn era 2 teaser from SLA that I just got

I read Stormlight and then Mistborn, right so I forgot a lot of stuff by the time I was in era 2.

It took me until like the end of the very last book to realize that a couple of the Rosharan Ghostblood agents, most prominently Iyatil, was actually Malwish. I seriously didn't realize this until so much later than I should have even though it was so obvious lol.

Also side question, reading Stormlight and then Mistborn instilled a sense of distrust and negative emotion towards the Ghostbloods, so like.... are they cool or not cool? Also hearing about Thaidakar only briefly during SLA made the Kelsier reveal kinda bonkers not gonna lie, my head is still spinning about that lol.

This is why Wayne is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time

This is probably a relatable take, but Wayne was just such a good character

"'Don't try' Waxillium said. "Logic doesn’t work on Wayne.' 'I bought a ward against it off a traveling fortune teller. It lets me add two ‘n two and get a pickle'"

"'I need you to stay behind as we go into those slums, it's not that I don't want your help. I do. It's just going to be too dangerous for you. You need to stay where I know you're safe. No arguments. I'm sorry.' 'Wayne,' Wax said, 'Stop talking to your hat and get over here.'"

"Until you know it ain't true, treat every woman like she has an older brother that is stronger than you are."

"'It'll stop them from sittin' around and thinking so much.' 'Wayne, they scientists. Isn't that their job?' 'Hell if I know,' Wayne said, stuffing a little sausage in his mouth. 'But rusts, if it is, that would explain so much.'"

"'Yeah, your shoes,' Wayne said. 'Look plenty comfortable, they do. Can never have too many pairs of black pumps. They go with rusting everything.' She looked back at him. 'You're a man'"

"'Cuz in my experience, marryin' is the one thing people seem to get worse at the more they do it. Well, that and bein' alive.'"

"'Though the Ascendant Warrior also went on and murdered the woman Elend was planning to marry' 'What really?' 'Yeah.' 'Gruesome,' Wayne said in an approving tone."

"Gold could do some fun things with Feruchemy, but it was pure rubbish when it came to Allomancy. Well, rich folk liked it. So they paid a lot for it, and that made it valuable. No other reason."

"'Any window opens, if you push hard enough'"

"'Ten times? Yup. That's a lot! Almost double!'"

(Not a Wayne quote but close enough) "'What's harder, love? Doing what's right or doing what's wrong?' 'Doing what's right.' 'So who get's stronger? The fellow what does the easy thing, or what does the hard thing?'"

"She liked sparkles. He didn't blame her, far too few sparkles in life. Adults was supposed to be able to wear what they wanted, so why did so few choose sparkles?"

"And why did he assume this would be like the story? Well, because he'd thought of it, he supposed. Once you had a though, you had to keep ahold of it. That was how things was."

"Shouldn't they all... worry about that a little more? worry how they were changing the future right now, rather than writing books about peopled doing it in the past? Even if they couldn't know somethings, there was a lot they could anticipate. They might not make that future have talking lions or whatnot - but they might make it have angrier, sadder people."

"Independence Through Shared Struggle, it said. Wayne could have eaten a beer bottle wrapper and dumped a load the next day that made more sense than that."

"'Yeah, here you are. Your hand slick on the grip of your gun. Your heart, it feels like it's tryin' to rip outta your chest and run away. But you think 'I ain't got no choice. I signed up for this. I gotta shoot.' You're wrong. You don't hafta do this mate. To hell with what you said you'd do. To hell with it all. You're in the wrong spot, and you know'"

"Harmony's eyes softened. 'Wayne. You aren't the best I could do. You're the best there is. And no being, neither god nor mortal, could have wished for more than one such as you'"

"'You're meant to be helping people. Also, remember - ain't no fellow who regretted giving it one extra shake, but you can bet every guy has regretted giving one too few.'"

Wayne manages to have the maturity of a 13 year old, self awareness of a growing adult (excluding his moments of pure understanding), and the moral compass that honestly I couldn't make a comparison to.

Real Question Though

Just think about it,

What are the chances that we have a Worldhopper like Hoid? Obviously Cosmere isn't real, but I feel like some random person would come to Earth and just fuck around. Like the common "Aliens taking over" trope... just Hoid!

Quick Question About SLA

So Moash got Hemalurgic spikes, right? But they were crystals, and I know that on Scadrial metal is Investure so it wouldn't be the same, but why crystals? or whatever it was, was it just, like, Odium-ness?

Also I'm probably just forgetting but what power did he get from it? Also was it stated who was killed to get said power?

Sorry for the silly questions, just something I was curious about
