The Lopen Rates Memes
As requested by anon. :)
1. Horse Plinko
Lopen: Now, this one I have to rate highly, yes? Because of my dear friend Kaladin, who is very strong and brave, sure, but fears horses. If Kaladin saw this horse bouncing, bouncing, bouncing down the pegs and into the fire, perhaps his fear would simply melt away the way a Passionspren melts away when they see Gaz coming. Lopen: I give it a 13.2. Sigzil: ...on what scale? Lopen: You cannot understand the Lopen's rating scale, gancho.
2. Expanding Brain
Lopen: See, this one is just showing what happens to people who spend time with the Lopen. Lopen: First they feel a spark of inspiration, and then their brain starts to expand, and soon they are fully enlightened. Lopen: Happens all the time. Lopen: This one is a solid 11.5.
3. Live Slug Reaction
Lopen: Slug? What is a slug? I've never heard of such a thing. Lopen: Should be something that people know about--live crab reaction. Lopen: Live Kaladin reaction. Lopen: Live Rua reaction. Rua: [makes rude gesture] Lopen: See? Now THAT'S applicable in many, many situations. Lopen: This one barely cracks a 7.
4. Crab Rave
Lopen: Now this is a meme that people can relate to, sure. Lopen: Whose brain is not, occasionally, full of dancing crabs? Lopen: I give it a 12.12--not quite as good as the 11.5, but a bit better than the 13.2.
5. Goncharov
Lopen: Lighteyed meme if I have ever seen one. Lopen: Lighteyes love to believe in complicated things that aren't real, yes? Lopen: Of course...we are all lighteyed these days... Lopen: ... Lopen: I guess I have to give it an 8.
6. Spiders Georg
Lopen: I am a generous and magnanimous man, sure, so I will ignore that nobody knows this "spiders" you are talking about. Lopen: I showed this one to Sigzil and he nearly smiled. I think "outlier" is a funny word to the Azish. Lopen: Change "spiders" to "cremlings" and perhaps it would be a winner. Lopen: Yes in the end even a generous man like me cannot ignore the spiders thing. Lopen: I say 4.8 but only because Sigzil kind of liked it.
7. Breaking News Supernatural
Lopen: There is something about those two lighteyed men. Lopen: I want to believe in their love, sure, because the Lopen knows and believes in love. Lopen: And yet the mood I get is "live slug reaction" and not "crab rave" at all. Kaladin: ...please do not start talking solely in memes. Lopen: What do you think this research is for, Gancho?? Lopen: It is a 3. It makes me sad.
8. Loss
Lopen: [holds up his right arm] You know, I had only one at first. Lopen: [holds up both arms, the left one slightly bent] Then I regrew my second! But, did you know--at first it was just a little shorter! Lopen: [straightens both arms fully] But luckily, just a little more glowing, and now both of my arms are the same length! Lopen: [Keeps right arm up but stretches out the left one] I can even point up and to the left at the same time! Lopen: Yup, yup, the loss of my arm sure was tough. Kaladin: ...and this has what to do with memes? Lopen: Just saying that this one is my favorite!
