I'm reading Oathbringer and Will Santino's comic hit a lil too hard

[brothermouse-skeleton]

Most spren when bonding a Radiant: This will be difficult, but I will do it because it will make me more than I was before. I will become wiser, kinder, stronger, more human.

A Bondsmith spren five minutes before bonding: F*CK YOU, F*CK HUMANS, AND F*CK YOU AGAIN! I'm not doing this! I don't need to change, I don't want to change, go die in a fire. I'm not doing it! I don't wanna! *Begins thrashing around like a toddler* I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I don't wanna!

Stormlight Archive brain mush. SPOILER THOUGHTS.

Sylphrena has storms in her eyes.

She's the Ancient Daughter. The only spren created by the Stormfather. So precious and unique, the Honorspren felt justified imprisoning her rather than allowing her to endanger herself. And when her father dies, she feels it, AND THERE ARE STORMS IN HER EYES.

Then she and Kaladin together were able to create a new TRUE honorblade??? Made of Honor??? After Taravangian took on the Honor Shard and became Retribution and threatened all of the spren???

Syl had her own arc coming to see herself as more separate from Kaladin, as independent with a destiny of her own. She's cosigned this new evolution with Kal, but it feels like she's got another independent evolution happening.

I believe entirely that something was passed to her in that moment when the Stormfather died. Maybe that independent part of Honor that infused his Avatar? Maybe something bigger that Taravangian can never reclaim with the Oathpact reforged?

Cannot wait to see her 10 years down the road.

If Other Stormlight Characters Served as the King's Wit

As requested by anon. :)

"The King's Wit" is there to insult people in the king's stead. In this role, Hoid basically gets to stand at the entrance to feasts and make fun of people. It's a good gig for him. But what if other characters had this job?

1. The Stormfather

Stormfather (rumbling with displeasure): You have broken an oath today. Stormfather: You promised your son that you would play "Shattered Plains" with him this afternoon, but you did not. Stormfather: Though you feast for today, my storm winds shall one day scatter your dishonored bones. Elhokar (visibly sweating): Ha ha my new Wit sure is, ah, intense!

2. Kaladin

Kaladin: Ew. Another Lighteyes... Kaladin: Sniff, sniff! Smells like the exploitation of the powerless in here! Kaladin: I can name a dozen men better than you and guess what--they're ALL darkeyed. Kaladin: Nice outfit--did it come free with your ancestral privilege?  Elhokar (muttering to himself): I will not put him in jail again, I will not put him in jail again, I will not...

3. Shallan

Shallan: [sketching] Hapless Lighteyed guest: Is that...me? Shallan: It is! [shows Ideal Self portrait--it's the same person, only their sadness and distrust is gone and they shine with an earnest and honest light, looking out toward their future] Hapless Lighteyed Guest (visibly tearing up): I...It's beautiful. Shallan: Please, go ahead & take it! Elhokar: Shallan-Wit, why is everyone at my feast introspective and crying? Shallan: I'm really good at art.

4. Adolin

Adolin: Wow! You are so brave to put those colors together, and in a style from two years ago ago! Adolin: You are almost pulling it off. 

5. Dalinar

Dalinar: Hello. I could not help but overhear your heated argument, my friends. Dalinar: It reminds me of a tale from the Way of Kings, which I will now quote from memory... Dalinar: ... Dalinar: Aaaaand, they fled. Dalinar: That's the third time that's happened this evening.

6. Ialai

Ialai: [hands hapless lighteyed guest a folded-up sheet of paper] Hapless Lighteyed Guest: W-Where did you get this information about me? And my husband? And my...former boyfriend's sister's cousin? Ialai: [merely smiles] Hapless Lighteyed Guest: W-What do you want? Please! I'll do anything! Ialai: Why...nothing at all. Yet. Please enjoy the feast.

7. Lift

Lift: Mmmm....4. Lift: A solid 6! Lift: Perhaps a 5, but ONLY because of those pants. Lift: Wow! An 8! Wyndle: P-Please mistress, I don't think the job of the King's Wit is to rank the butts of all attendees! Lift: They need to know.

8. Jasnah

Hapless Lighteyed Guest: Ugh, I don't think it's right for the king to employ a heretic as his Wit! Jasnah: It's strange--one might think that your faith in the Almighty would inspire you to strive to be a good man, yet in reality your mother weeps each and every night to have produced a son who loves drinking and gambling more than he loves his children, his wife, or indeed the Almighty. Jasnah: Should you wish to inspire faith in others, perhaps you should try to demonstrate even the smallest reason why yours has produced an iota of good for anyone in this world aside from yourself. Elhokar (across the room, watching): I...am afraid.

9. Lopen

Lopen: Hey, I know you! I got a cousin in your army! Lopen: He always laughs 'bout how weird it is that your officers make the men pay for their own boots 'n' stuff 'cause it's an army not a charity, right? But then your officer son gets an allowance which is funny 'cause that kinda seems like the 'charity' thing that an army isn't! Lopen: We Herdazians tend to use a word to mean a thing, yeah? But you Alethi sure like to make a word mean whatever it is you want!

10. Szeth & Nightblood

Nightblood: Evil. Evil. Evil. Definitely evil. Big evil! Little evil, but still evil. Szeth: You've identified every guest so far as evil, sword-nimi. Nightbood: Yeah, I'm so good at detecting evil! So when does the slaying start? Szeth: I told you. I don't murder entire parties anymore. That is my past, but it does not have to be my future. Nightblood: But you're the King's Wit! You got wit-tle down the evil, right? Szeth: That is not what that means, sword-nimi. Nightblood: ... Szeth: ... Nightblood: People sure do speed up when they have to walk past us, huh? Szeth: I am pretty sure that means we're doing a good job.

the stormfather should post feet

[bug-the-chicken-nug]

an au where kaladin's not a windrunner and instead somehow the stormfather bondsmith would be incredibly funny in book 1 just because i'm imagining a bigass chunk of it is just stormfather: *trying to explain a bunch of heavy prophecy shit* kaladin: oh so you literally hate me. god literally hates me. you are just fucking with me, the Saddest Boy In The Whole Wide World, for your own sick amusement. stormfather, who has already tried to explain like three times that that's not what this is about and that he isn't even god necessarily: *sighs so hard it creates a mini-highstorm*

[ohhhmio]

*In a vision*

Navani: Where are the parshmen?

Stormfather, a literal remnant of god: Recruited by the enemy, I think.

Dalinar: You think?

Stormfather: Oh, give me a break—this was a long time ago! I was a kid back then, alright?

[danhn10]

So now that I have finished book 5 I have a theory spoilers if you haven't finished.

When the stormfather died Syl took up his role as the storm and whenever she returns she'll be able to bring back the high storm. After his death she is discribed as having storms in her eyes and since she is the ancient daughter and oldest surviving honorspren she is probably the one to take that role.

RHYTHM OF WAR SPOILERS

Still mad about Eshonai. One of my favorite Cosmere characters. I love that the Stormfather was kind to her at the end, but it makes up for nothing. She deserved better. 😭
