Ah.. So I’ve Finally Gotten To My Single Favorite Theme Of The Stormlight Archives: How The World Is

Ah.. so I’ve finally gotten to my single favorite theme of the Stormlight Archives: How the world is mostly just a matter of perception. A king, a princess, a light eyes, a leader… is only that because others perceive them to be so. They aren’t inherently different than others, just possessing the arbitrary lineage, presence, and background for others to deign them as such.

It’s the entire power system of Roshar. You change things self-perception to soul-cast, you change the way your soul perceives gravity to lash, and so on and so forth for each and every power. It’s ALL perception.

Kaladin is just a bridge man. A slave. And all the men he comes in contact with laude him because of his presence. How many times have people said he MUST have been a light-eyes or what have you. It’s how they perceive him, because of how he carries himself, that causes this. Shallan is in the same situation, though I don’t feel the need to explain hers, as she quite literally created a personality based on this concept. It’s fascinating, real, and freeing. You are not bound by where you’re from who what you’ve done. At any moment - if you’ve the will to try - you can become anyone.

And this is why, because I believe in myself, I know I could get Jasnah to step on me

KILL ME

Shadows of Self Spoilers

She’s wearing Lessie’s face… and knew in intricate detail how she “died”. She was either Bloody Tan… or Lessie herself. I am. I am confident Lessie was a Kandra the whole time. It fits her hatred of being manipulated by Harmony… maybe she actually loved him? Maybe she didn’t want to lose the life they lived at the time. Maybe she was forced to go along with Sazed’s plans and lost her favorite face… and that broke her. Fuck, please if I’m right I’m going to be irreparable.

“The Lord Mistborn” makes me think Elend… but no, he and Vin didn’t have any kids, neither did Kelsier. Mmmmm…. I have no idea what the hell this could be in reference to.

It ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME that Athena has NO ANSWER to Ares and Aphrodite's arguments, and just opts to tell Aphrodite to suck it up and bribe Ares

Like-

Aphrodite: "He left his elderly mother to die alone to fight a war."

Ares: "He has shown cowardice on numerous instances, categorically refusing to face problems with honor and all but sacrificing his comrads."

Athena, mentally: 'Shit. Fuck. They're objectively correct. Uhhhhh'

Athena: "Aphrodite stop being a bitch and Ares oooooooo look at the Murder you like the murder oooooo"

—

And this just- works??? Honestly so proud of her for pulling this off.

You know, the Liberal Woke mob is going *too* far. They’re actually changing the history books!!! Yeah. That’s right.

You know Beowulf? Now *her* name is Beowolfcut. That’s right, they made the strongest king into a butch queen.

But they didn’t stop there. Gilgamesh is now *Girl*gamesh! And Enkidu? They’re now Enkidu!!!

And you know King Arthur? They’re now *Non-Binary Conforming Monarch* Arthur. And instead of pulling a sword from a stone, they pulled an pumpkin spice latte from the abortion clinic!?!

But it gets worse. They’re coming after America *itself.* Amerigo Vespucci is now Americunt Vespcoochie!!!! And… you guessed it, they’re going to rename the continents in *her* honor!!

This may seem unreal… but this is the future… or well, *past* that awaits you…
