Gancho, Doug, my brother in Adonalsium (Highly), I'm going to hold your hand when I say this:
Not knowing what's going on is the default state for Cosmere protagonists.
Even Wit, who's whole deal is standing over there in the corner smirking like he knows what's going on, doesn't have a single rusting clue.
Read the whole Stormlight Archive backwards for all I care, you'll still find yourself better informed than Kaladin Stormface
I am manifesting with all my soul that Kaladin gets something cool to do in the (presumed?) 10 years before the Heralds need to return for the Odium showdown again. Therapy is great and all, but after 2-3 years I think most of Kaladin's work will be done and it will be up to the Heralds themselves to put into practice what they had learned/discovered.
I need Kaladin to be conveniently summoned/manifested offworld and save a planet from inevitable doom. I need a Kaladin training arc with Taln and Nale from which he will emerge an absolute menace to the larger Cosmere.
I need it so that when he finally gets his dramatic return in the second arc of Stormlight he will single-handedly turn the tide of the war.
I am Kaladin fanboy trash and I am not ashamed to admit it.
adolin getting a longer hug from kaladin than shallan is one of the most throwaway comments brando sando could have made, and he did, for no reason, unrelevant to the story, just for us. my heart is warm.
Silly comic about the episode where they worked in their formal fits.
They slayed so hard that episode it was DISTRACTING
ishar: behold the power of my Mega Depression!! you cannot possibly--
kaladin: yeah, yeah. the Mega Depression. we've all felt it. anyway, here's wandersail
*clenches fist* kaladin would want me to keep going
Jasnah to become pathetic wet cat just as the Wet Cat Boys Caillou and 7ft Sigmund Freud finally leave wetcatness behind them, nobly maintaining pathetic balance on roshar
I like how Szeth's spren's name, 12124, has the following properties:
1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 10
1 × 2 × 1 × 2 × 4 = 16
It contains both of the Cosmere's most popular lucky numbers
Every time Hoid makes an appearance in a book, my brain immediately just thinks of this post
Current theory is that "Knights of Wind and Truth" is the book Kaladin and Szeth write while bored out of their minds on the Shinovar trip. That title has all the vibes of a group project with horrible compromises
