sometimes a girl just has to explain her favorite book to an imaginary version of the girl she has a crush on
#sometimes I wonder how I would explain to someone why I like dalinar kholin because every time I try to explain him it's always like#oh he did a few war crimes but it's okay because he was mind controlled and also accidentally had the war crimes removed from his memory#and then went through like decades???? of character development before having the memories reintroduced#and he was completely fucked up over it#he went through the half of the redemption arc where he changes the root cause of the actions that caused a need for redemption#now he needs to deal with actually having done the war crimes#tbh so far he basically just publicly admitted to the war crimes I don't think he's actually done anything for the people of rathalas#I really hope dalinar gets to get into this stuff with the rest of the alethi because this all kind of started with#the kholin brothers uniting alethkar but in doing so instilling a culture of competition and conflict instead of cooperation#which dalinar recognizes as a problem but has never addressed as a thing that he was at least partially responsible for#okay I need to check again but I think adolin is the new kholin highprince after dalinar stepped up as king of urithiru?#I guess he's kind of changing things due to the way he's leading the coalition not as the Blackthorn but as the Bondsmith#but he still kind of has to manage the Blackthorn persona because that's what people expect from him#he's been on a constant road toward becoming who he is today and I'm so proud of him#I really hope we get more focus on him in KoWT and on his relationship with adolin bc iirc he was just knocked out for all of RoW
