Cosmere Characters vs. Wrapping an Oddly Shaped Present

It's a well-known bane of Christmas time: you've gotten somebody a stuffed animal or a tennis racket or a small, tasteful antique lamp...and now you have to wrap it. If Cosmere characters had Christmas or wrapping paper, how would they approach this unique challenge?

1. Siri

Uses way, WAY too much wrapping paper...but she gets the job done.

2. Vivenna

Carefully measures out the correct amount of wrapping paper...which is inevitably not enough, meaning that the paper doesn't quite meet in the middle. She has to cut off the extra strip of wrapping paper and tape it across the middle to finish the job.

3. Kaladin

Tries over and over again, but each time, the wrapping paper comes up short and can't quite cover the present. Finally, at the last possible moment (15 minutes before unwrapping time), he gives it one final try...and nails it.

4. Sebarial

Hires a professional gift wrapper to do it for him, loudly claiming that it's because he's far too lazy to wrap a gift by himself.

5. Kelsier

Wraps cardboard box instead. Inside the cardboard box is another, smaller box which is also wrapped. Inside that is, you guessed it, another, smaller box that is also wrapped. But if you keep going, you'll eventually get to the smallest box, inside which is a note, which says, "Look in your bedroom closet." The gift is there. The whole process takes 30 minutes and he does this every year.

6. Steris

Carefully figures out the exact geometric shape needed in order to properly and neatly wrap the gift. Nails it.

7. Navani

Has her team researching the best ways to wrap gifts of this particular shape. In the end, Navani invents a whole new type of math while getting it done herself.

8. Dalinar

Simply hands over the gift, unwrapped.

9. Wax

Puts a fancy bow on the unwrapped present and leaves it under the tree.

10. Wayne

Does not wrap the gift, exactly, but does hide it somewhere which is kinda like wrapping it.

11. Vin

Has only just mastered the art of wrapping a square gift. Sazed takes care of it for her, and it looks beautiful.

12. Adolin

Just gives it a good, honest try--yes the wrapping is a bit weird looking and he uses a lot of tape, but it's done and you can really tell he did it himself.

13. Jasnah

Has never struggled to wrap a present of any shape in her life. She just does it. It looks amazing.

14. Shallan

Manages to wrap the gift in a way that makes it appear to be an entirely different gift--think "wrapping a tennis racket so that it appears to be a stuffed bear." Lightweaving may or may not have been involved.

15. Yumi

Uses lots of smaller pieces of wrapping paper to cover different parts of the gift, so that in the end it is all properly wrapped.

16. Painter

Uses bamboo-print cloth to wrap the present instead. Just puts the gift inside, gathers the edges of the cloth together and ties it off. Easy.

17. Tress

Her first attempt at wrapping an oddly shaped present is admittedly poor, but once she becomes the go-to person who wraps all oddly shaped presents for everyone she gets really, really good at it.

18. Lopen

Luckily he has this one cousin, see, who's just REALLY good at present-wrapping.

19. Renarin

Puts the gift into a box first so that it is easier to wrap.

20. Sarene

Uses a gift bag.

This is reminding of the Word of Brandon from the Lost Metal release where Brandon said that Autonomy is aware of Kelsier and she's a fan.

Okay the biggest thing I'm looking forward to in Era 3 is a certain dumb idiot wearing 80s fashion like it's the most dashing thing he's ever seen...

Last night i dreamt that the fifth book ended with Navani grabbing Thaidakar by the hair and showed him Vin from the Spirit Realm so he could see how disappointed she is

“vin and elend are dead” TO YOU. to me they are actually very much alive and happy

[offonaherosjourney]

When Scadrial eventually gets internet I hope Hoid is always somehow able to snatch the username/gamertag Kelsier the second a new social media or videogame comes out. People eventually realize that they all appear to belong to the same person and all sorts of wild theories start circulating. Could the Survivor somehow be... alive? Whenever Hoid is off-world, Marsh keeps the accounts active. Thaidakar fails to emotionally blackmail Harmony into revealing who is behind the accounts on a weekly basis.

Cosmere inktober 28 boast

This man has a crew he is proud of and a plan which feels rather boastful in context. :D

-------------------- Image description: digitally painted sketch of Kelsier in front of a chalkboard. The survivor stands there with an only slightly manic grin on his face. He wears a long vest with a delicate pattern of cloud shapes on silver lines on dark purple ground. His shirtsleeves are rolled back to his elbows, exposing his scarred forearms. In one hand he holds a piece of chalk, while his others is placed demonstratively on the wild notes on the chalkboard, fingers spread wide. The notes include several diagrams and illegibly scribbled names and words, but also two tiny mist cloaked figures and a big, crowned one with two spears to his chest. That last one has a circle around it to emphasize its importance.

Text that says "what the" in pink italics with "fuck" in silver on the middle section and "kelsier" on the bottom in white.

Behind the text is a neon triangle and a dance floor at the bottom

Marsh being mentioned in Tress of the Emerald Sea in the chapter The Survivor is so funny to me. Marsh is never escaping his little brothers shadow, even as a death god on multiple worlds
