Adolin Getting A Longer Hug From Kaladin Than Shallan Is One Of The Most Throwaway Comments Brando Sando

Looking back at Wind and Truth, I'm really glad I didn't reread any of the previous Stormlight books since Branderson had graciously decided to send half of the characters to the fucking Flashback Realm™️ so that you are essentially forced to reread all of the important scenes anyways...

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

Wind and Truth theory fact. Gavinor did not grow to hate Dalinar for the atrocities he had committed, but rather as a natural consequence of having to watch your grand-uncle tell your dad that he's banging your grandmother 10000 times back-to-back.

Kaladin

Stormlight Archive brain mush. SPOILER THOUGHTS.

Can we talk about Kaladin "I had nine carefree days after going off the deep end and trying very hard to kill myself before deciding to sacrifice myself to save all the spren with my fingers crossed that the Wind and insane as fuck Ishar had a plan for it to not result in my eternal torture" Stormblessed??? That boy is not right in the head. And not because he suffers from PTSD and depression, but bc he thinks nine days of sorta fun is enough for him to know anything about self care.

That poor sweet (not?) gloomy asshole.

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 don’t care how many times Brandon Sanderson describes this man with hair covering his scars. I just can’t imagine Kaladin with bangs 💀💀

(Also I have a few more character designs ready to post in the next couple of days. So follow for more!)

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.

fave thing is when people draw kaladin with perfect hair. curtain bangs and face framing layers and the perfect blowout. captain handsome reporting for duty always. herald of kings, wind, second chances, and fresh blowouts.
