They call him Adolin “I’ll fight as many at once as I have to” Kholin. Genuinely what the fuck. What the fuck do they put in this man’s food. He never even considered the fact he could lose. It- oh my God.

I’m getting really good at stopping myself partway through a Stormlight Tumblr post to check the tags and like, perfect-parry Spoilers

I’m on early Rhythm of War, no one spoil future stuff!!!

I’m genuinely baffled what the hell Shallan is suppressing that could possibly be worse than what she already remembers. Like. What. What the fuck. How.

Rhythm of War/Mistborn Era One Spoilers

I- wait. Is. Is the Shard in the Interludes. Is that. Is that fuckin SAZED.

AAAAAAAAA ADOLIN IS UNWILLING TO BECOME A RADIANT BECAUSE HE BELIEVES HE CAN HELP HIS SHARDBLADE RECOVER!!!!! AAAAAAAA HE’S SO CUTE AND WHOLESOME AND I LOVE HIM AND I BELIEVE IN HIM.

Knowing who Zahel is while watching him spar Kaladin without his powers feels like bullying, actually.

Ooohhhhhh my God the One of Husks not believing Kaladin could have possibly not used any Stormlight. This is so good.

Kaladin feels actively nerfed when not using his Radiant powers it’s genuinely insane.

…

Looks around

…Kaladin and Leshwi should kiss

Rhythm of War spoilers

THEY MADE AN AIRSHIP???? THAT’S SO COOL!!! THAT’S SO SO SO SO COOL!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Aghck, no, Shallan is too nasally. I like Veil and Radiant, but Shallan is… aaagggh….. nooooooo..,,

AH!!! THE VOICE ACTORS ARE DIFFERENT!!!! WHAT WHAT WHAT WHY!!!! I- they’re trying and they’re good, but also they’re DIFFERENT and that’s BAD

Started Rhythm of War, and…

What the FUCK Gavilar is the WORST. I didn’t expect him to be this AWFUL. When everyone talked about him changing I expected it to be in the Dalinar style of defying Voran ideals, not… this horrific, narcissistic monstrosity. I am so happy he was stabbed.

Oh my God??? The Dawnshard gave Rysn the Breath???????? There’s truly just so much Warbreaker in this series.

Dawnshard time!!!

The Sleepless are soooooo coooooollllllllll!!!!!! Yes yes yes bugggsssss

Hmmm… the Fourth Ideal, something Kaladin cannot say… if we look at the themes of his story so far, it’s probably something like “I will protect only those I can”. Kaladin has always struggled with accepting that he can’t save EVERYONE, because he is just… too compassionate, but it’s gotten to the point where it’s crippling his ability to act, to save anyone. I expect Rhythm of War is gonna have a lot of Kaladin brooding

You. Cannot. Have. My. Pain.

More Stormlight Archives stuff! Super excited for Wind and Truth but it's gonna take me a HOT minute to read- 490k words is crazy!

Now the big question… which God did Humanity bring with them… On one hand, Honor is their sponsor and seemed to have loved them, but in the other… well, their homeland was totally destroyed, and that seems to me like how Odium rolls.

Oh that’s Vivenna.

Okay Googled her to see what she looked like again and got confirmation on accident lmfao. Hellllllll yes, so she managed to awaken a sword fully? Proud of her! Suuuuper curious what her command was!!! Aaaaa this is so exciting.

When you look at Dalinar as a man, in his entirety, he is the perfect Bondsmith. His Honor and Passion mediated by Growth and Understanding. Were Odium not the enemy, Dalinar could have - probably would have - been able to be sponsored by all three gods of Roshar????

Seriously, looking at the Oathbringer flashbacks, this man must have had Odium kicking his feet. He charmed Cultivation and well- literally is chosen by Honor.

Mmmm…. Elhokar death flags. He’s too likable. I think I’m starting to see the patterns and I don’t know if this is good or not.

SHALLAN WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WITH YOU THAT’S NOT HOW YOU RESPOND TI BEING SHOT IN THE FACE WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THR FUCK

Oh Dalinar you didn’t, did you. Please tell me you didn’t.

Hmmm…. Okay so I have a weird theory stuck in my head. It’s- bad and doesn’t make sense, especially because Renarin has already demonstrated a traditional Surge, but: While reading, I keep getting the vibe that Renarin’s spren bond is wrong. I don’t fully understand why, but I keep thinking he’s perhaps bonded to a renegade void spren.

The numbers in Words of Radiance were ABSOLUTELY done by Renarin. I don’t doubt it for a second. I’m so confident about this. But… well we know the two surges of the Truthwatchers, and future prediction was NOT one of them. Beyond that, when Shallan is fighting the Unmade in Urithiru, it mentions trying to take Pattern’s place, which all but STATES non-Radiant spren can form bonds with humans… ergo, it’s feasible for Renarin to have bonded one of the Void Spren, which would facilitate the future stuff!

Anywho, that’s that! I think it’s likely I’m wrong, but could be interesting!

Teft… he is so… I… what a tragic, beautiful man…

Oathbringer Stormlight Spoilers

I really like how the chapter headers sort of trick you into thinking the book is by Jasnah, before you start learning more and more about Dalinar.

Biggest problem with this liveblog is that I get random, unprotected spoilers for shit that happens later in the series. Like seriously guys what the fuck please don’t just…. Ugh whatever.

It’s fantastic how much I hate young Dalinar while loving old Dalinar

Adolin, here and now, more than anyone else in the series, you are truly radiant.
