Mistborn Era 1 Characters Read The Mistborn Era 2 Books

As requested by @foxofscadrial :)

[Spoilers, as you might imagine, from all of Mistborn Era 1 & 2!]

I've done this for Stormlight a couple of times: Stormlight characters read the The Stormlight Archive (link here) and they also read just the Kaladin chapters (link here). Now we're going to have the characters from Mistborn Era 1 sit down to read the Era 2 series: how will they react?

Now, just for the record...some of these characters are in both eras. For those characters, it's their Era 1 version doing the reacting, if that makes sense--like they're seeing their own futures.

1. Vin Live Reactions

Vin: This world seems so beautiful... So green... So vibrant... I'm gonna cry... Vin: THE STATUES OF ME AND ELEND 😭 Vin: Wow. I wish *I* had guns. Guns seem cool. Vin: It.....feels weird that everyone wants to be me. Like, sometimes I barely wanted to be me. Vin: ....Allrianne set the gender norms? I'm so sorry, women. Vin: TENSOOOOOOON! That speech about me...I can't take it... Vin: Killing a whole building of people, huh? Been there, Wax. Been there. Vin: I'm kinda glad Sazed became god. It seems like a hard job. Glad I didn't get it. Vin: ...Man. I REALLY wish we had guns!

2. Lord Ruler

Lord Ruler: Ugh, it's even worse than I imagined. Lord Ruler: Everything was so STABLE and SAFE under my rule. Lord Ruler: And now people have "freedom" and "fun"...and giraffes for some reason. Lord Ruler: You all are gonna do SO bad in the Cosmere-wide fight. Lord Ruler: Good riddance. Lord Ruler: ... Lord Ruler: Also, that guy who ends up taking over--Lord Mistborn or whatever. Lord Ruler: Who even is he???

3. Sazed

Sazed: ... Sazed: ... Sazed: I seem stressed.

4. Marsh

Marsh: ... Marsh: So, it seems that I never escape from my brother's shenanigans. Marsh: ... Marsh: Strangely comforting, I'll admit.

5. Elend Live Reactions

Elend: Heck yeah. Democracy. Elend: Huh. The noble houses stayed, huh? I just...don't know how I feel about that. Elend: Wait a sec....did they just recreate the noble/skaa divisions but with hereditary nobility versus workers? Elend: No...don't be crazy, Elend. At least it's not horrible slavery. Things are better! Way better! Elend: Ugh, are they abusing the outer cities too?? That train system is so horribly inefficient!! Elend: Is it too late for me to tutor Spook in legislative philosophy???

6. Breeze & Allrianne

Allrianne: Omg, Breeze, can you believe it? Our ancestor is the hero! Breeze: Seems like quite a...scruffy independent fellow. Allrianne: Not a Rioter OR a Soother, though... That's unfortunate... Breeze: Wears nice suits in the Rough, though. Now THAT I can get behind. Allrianne: I think we did good. 🩷

7. Spook

Spook: Well. Spook: Huh. Spook: Knowing that my street slang is gonna be High Imperial one day... Spook: That might be just enough to get me through all this alive.

8. TenSoon

TenSoon: I could imagine many fates for myself. TenSoon: Serving humans and the Lord Ruler forever. TenSoon: Being killed. TenSoon: Undertaking the Resolution and turning back into a mistwraith. TenSoon: ... TenSoon: Inspiring a line of stuffed toys for human children was NOT something I ever considered. TenSoon: I'm so glad I met the Ascendant Warrior.

9. Tindwyl

Tindwyl: It is...gratifying to see that the Terris people have survived. Tindwyl: And that feruchemy has survived with us. Tindwyl: *tsks* Naming a street after me, though. It would be more valuable for them to come to understand the real us, rather than mythologizing us to such a degree. Tindwyl: Wax naming his daughter after me, however... Tindwyl: ... Tindwyl: That honor I will accept.

10. Kelsier Live Reactions

(Note: This is the living Final Empire version of the character)

Kelsier: ........There are HOW many metals?!? Kelsier: Heh. Flowers. You would have loved that, Mare. Kelsier: Oof, no Mistborn. That's kinda harsh. Kelsier: YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME--THEY CALLED IT ELENDEL?! (muttering) They could have at LEAST called it Vindale. Kelsier: "Ascendant Warrior," huh? That's my girl. Kelsier: "High Imperial." LOL. Kelsier: Omg, Marsh?! Marsh?!? Kelsier: SAZED IS GOD?! Kelsier: Heh, nice to know I have a crew in any reality. Kelsier: Yeah. I think I'm gonna be fine.

Allrianne, Vin, and Tindwyl from Well of Ascension.

I wish we got to see Vin and Allri get a little more friendly. Not because I ship them nope nuh-uh *cough*

I forgot Tindwyl has a long-ass braid so OOPS guess I'll have to draw her again oh no how terrible. 🤷‍♀️

[thestormlightnetwork]

i think “you are a fool, Elend Venture” is just white noise to Elend at this point

[qernna]

i imagine they’re dancing to “when you believe” from the prince of egypt

[mistborn book 2 spoilers]

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE CAN WRITE INTIMACY WITH ZERO NAKED BODIES SO WELL BUT AHHHHHHHH

SAZED AND TINDWYL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

[zephyscosmere]

"Vin... isn't like other women." Tindwyl raised an eyebrow, her voice softening slightly. "I think that the more women you come to know, Your Majesty, the more you'll find that statement applies to all of them." - WoA chp. 20

Damn, Tindwyl out here shitting on "I'm not like other girls." What a queen.

"No teenage girl is stable. Some are merely better at hiding it than others."

Well of Ascension. pg 438

My new favorite quote

Edit: I just realized I had it labeled as a hero of ages for months 🤦

[chamomile-tea-time]

They Would NOT Fucking Say That: Mistborn Era 1 Edition

Previously: Stormlight edition

In which I challenge myself to write dialogue for the Era 1 Mistborn characters representing something they would absolutely NEVER say.

Kelsier: Please! Surely we can solve this without violence!

Vin: Please! Surely we can solve this without violence!

Zane: Please! Surely we can solve this without violence!

Elend: Let's just kill 'em.

Ham: I'm sorry, but can we please just stick to the facts here? I hate pointless speculation!

Breeze: Oh, don't trouble yourself. I can fetch my own glass of wine.

Allrianne: How do you like my cargo pants?

Kelsier (again): The rich are rich because they're just better and smarter than us.

Elend (again): Democracy is stupid.

Vin (again): Women are naturally weaker than men.

Dockson: Let's get coffee, Ham! It's been so long since we've gotten to just sit and talk!

Marsh: Ugh, can we PLEASE blow all this off and just go to the club?

Spook: Kelsier, Vin, I can't help with the next part of the plan. I'm checking myself into Tin Rehab, the place for People Who Use too Much Tin.

Clubs: Today won't be a good day--it'll be a great day.

Tindwyl: Wow, Elend! Great job! No notes! 😊

Sazed: Hmm...I think I can forgot that religion. It was a stupid one.

Sazed (again): Um there are only two genders.

Straff: It's diversity that makes a society strong.

TenSoon: Vin is such a meanie. I wanted to be a BUNNY!

5) My friend who knows nothing about Mistborn helped me fancast Mistborn based on my descriptions. I will be posting our picks over the next few days.

Tindwyl was a bit of a challenge but she eventually settled on Aabria Iyengar

[florian-deruko]

[Spoilers for WoA]

TINDWYL WHY DID YOU DIE THERE WAS NO NEED

Sazed could have the faith crisis on his own you didn’t need to die.
