i kind of sympathize with Sadeas re: Dalinar in Way of Kings. if I knew a guy who was basically like a rabid dog barely contained on a leash back when we were launching a military coup together and he had a kill count of like 999999999 civilians and then he had a complete mental breakdown and then came back from it like "hey I'm Catholic now and by the way God Is Speaking To Me and told me the apocalypse is coming" well i probably wouldn't want that guy in charge of anything either. to be honest

Gavilar assassination flashback by Wind and Truth: you guys wanna see this lame asshole get his shit rocked again?

Welcome to Roshar, where ANYONE and ANYTHING can have character development!

a warlord? Of course!

the saddest, weirdest, most voices-hearing and rules-abiding assassin you’ve ever met? You bet!

a shred of divine power, inherently influenced by human perception? Heck yes!

a dead shred of divine power, slain by human-broken oaths, inherently influenced by human perception? Let’s go!

the cosmere’s bestest, truly my best friend, most evil-coded and universally lethal sword, like really it is literally sickening and constantly terrifying how much, how totally, how hungrily, this thing kills? Abso-freakin’-lutely! (Did I mention that it’s my best friend?)

the pure power of a god, driven by a single, absolute Intent? Bring it on!!

Welcome to Roshar! We just invented therapy, and we’re making it work!

I love how the heralds were actually trying to come up with a way to keep the Oathpact by setting up a rotation, only 5 being in Damnation at a time.

Then Tanavast was just 'nah... I don't vibe with 5. Not symmetric enough. Why don't you guys just betray Taln to a life of eternal torture?'

"immortal therapy retreat land" and "the only place on the planet left with sunshine" are funny places for "born-unto-eternity" and "born-unto-light" to end up in for sure

I've reached the part of Rhythm of War where Kaladin invents group therapy but also refuses to go to group therapy

Kaladin: I think it would be helpful to get a group of people who have been through similar trauma together in a safe calm environment where they could talk to each other. They could support each other and won't feel judged because they've had similar experiences. I think this will work because I've been through some traumatic events and I would benefit from something like that

Kaladin's friends: so you'll be joining this group too right?

Kaladin: Oh. No.

Might have connected some dots. Remember this Death Rattle?

He must pick it up, the fallen title! The tower, the crown, and the spear!

—Collected on Vevahach 1173, 8 seconds pre-death, by the Silent Gatherers. Subject was a prostitute of unknown background.

It might go like this:

Fallen title = replacing Jezrien as Herald

Tower and Crown = the cloak

Spear = Honorspear

I only read this much of chapter 14 of Wind and Truth and had to pause to make this meme 😂

Kelsier: *solves everything by killing noblemen*

Everyone on Scadrial: If only Kelsier was here, he'd have a great way to solve this problem.

Every nobleman on Roshar when they meet an assassin: I bet Kelsier planned this, it feels like something he'd do.

Questioner

So, Jasnah breaking up with Wit via text. Worst breakup in the cosmere, am I right?

Brandon Sanderson

I think the worst breakup in the cosmere was when Dalinar burnt his wife to death along with thousands of innocents—

kaladin telling "you are not a thing," to nightblood, which is literally a thing but also sentient, putting it into an existential crisis

[aplpaca]

yknow I feel like Hoid's claim that it's super uncommon for someone to be able to reject or let go of a shard is like. Actually not evidenced. Like it's based on a sample size of less than 20 people out of billions over 10,000 years, most of which were people who intentionally killed god and took the shards on purpose. Huge sampling bias. That p-value is Not statistically significant.

I've been trying so hard to find an asian/wasian shallan fc since everyone took the "She's pale" and fancasts her as white even though she's confirmed to have epicanthic folds and is inspired by Mongols by brandon. So for your consideration; Havana Rose Liu as Shallan Davar

[tanoraqui]

underrated hysterical moment in Wind and Truth: when Dalinar finally gets back from the Cognitive Realm, he goes directly to Navani (of course) and interrupts her in the middle of officiating the wedding of Sebariel and Palona, the Highprince and his Herdazian mistress who have been partners romantic, sexual, and in crime & politics for years without getting married, who have clearly finally resolved any personal differences and decided that if the world might end in an hour by god they’re going to be lawfully wedded for it— and Dalinar walks in, completely ignores everything, and he and Navani start making out.
