Kelsier, mistborn: "Never stop looking. There's always another secret."

Truthwatchers, bonding a mistspren: "I will seek deeper truth when others accept easy answers."

Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Kaladin got to invent therapy so I think Shallan and Venli should get to invent paleontology/archaeology. As a treat

Seriously, Roshar has got to have an insanely complete fossil record. It's canon that crem can perfectly preserve an archeological site in pristine condition for thousands of years - imagine what our heroes could find with a bit more rock slaying. Plus Willshapers and Stonewards basically have magic LIDAR capabilities so finding sites could be laughably easy. Shallan would also draw/lightweave the most kickass reconstructions of whatever fossils they find

How cool would it be for Shallan and Venli to lead a bunch of human and singer scholars in discovering Roshar's deep prehistory? If they survive WaT this is what I imagine them doing during the upcoming timeskip

Has anyone here considered Cognitive Shadow! Tien as a viable theory? Because I am VERY convinced of it and will be devastated if it ends up not being canon.

Stormlight Archive Characters and the Modern name I think they’d have

(Btw, im focusing on American/Western/ykwim names)

Adolin: Aaron (reason: the meaning is close to Adolin’s own, it’s meaning in Strong's Hebrew Lexicon being"Light-bringer", and the fact they have generally similar structure.)

Kaladin: Kayson/Callum (Reason: Kayson has a similar nickname format to Kal, being Kay. It also means “healer”, and i thought that was nice. Callum being a secondary option, more for the fact the nickname is identical, is also just generally a name i see Kal having.(Also it’s loosely based off of Saint. Columba, and the direct meaning is “dove”, which is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, and i think it fits Kal’s character to be named after a saint and a big religious thing, with his name being “born unto eternity”)

Shallan: Primrose/Lilias (reason: while Shallan’s name doesnt currently have a canon meaning besides being derivative of Shalash, it’s actual meaning as a name means “Poppy Flower” and because i didn’t feel like Poppy fit Shallan, i found names that matched Shallan’s energy and general meaning, taking ‘flower’ instead of ‘poppy.’ Lilias is a Scottish name— my own personal HC of where she would be from, or at least her ancestry— and fits Shallan’s name of having two consonants on either side of her name and the middle being symmetrical. Primrose was just a general vibe pick)

Dalinar: Dallas (Reason: Dalinar also has no confirmed names, its similar to Brandon’s son’s name, Dallin. That name means “from the valley”, so I looked at names with the same/similar meanings. Also vibes, and the fact Dallas is a city, and Dalinar sounds similar/has the same last letters as Kholinar)

Renarin: Raziel (reason: because there are NO good R names. No but this one was tough. Renarin’s name doesnt really mean anything i could translate into like an irl name, so i just went through all R names. This name kinda has the same feel as Renarin’s must in Roshar, being generally adherent to naming standards while sounding out of place. Also, in the Jewish Kabbalah, Raziel is an angel known as “The Keeper of Secrets.” So, (Spoilers?) pass at Sja-Anat and stuff)

Kaladin: that’s why I grow my own food.

Shallan: Where do you find the time?

Kaladin: You make time. I only sleep 90 minutes a day.

[thestormlightnetwork]

i hope all people who say shallan's name is "shallan kholin" know that it was revealed in a wob that the vedens keep their last name after marriage.

i shared this on the coscrew server but it needs to be known widely known that, and i shit y’all not, i had a dream last night that shallan developed a fucking kelsier alter (or factive, technically and hilariously, if a fictional character were to get an introject from another character in their universe).

it was pretty vague and nonsensical as my dreams mostly are but just. it was mostly alter!kelsier forcing himself in front to be little a chaotic for a bit and then shallan would front again like OUUUUAGGHH I HATE THIS MAN.

anyways this has now developed into “wait what would happen if another alter showed themself to shallan and it was a mixture of her fear of kelsier combined with a need to have an alter more willing to kill people, and was that plus a combo of what else she knew about kelsier based on public image, and named themself kelsier” and now my head is Full

[renarin-spren]

thinking about how spot on it was to make shallan a ginger. truly.

[rangersapprenticeincorrect]

Kaladin: How did you lose your arm?

Lopen: Did you know horses are omnivores? They make you think they're herbivores but don't let 'em fool ya!

If someone insulted my biceps, I wouldn’t attack him. I’d refer him to a physician, because obviously something is wrong with his eyes

Whenever people talk shit about the trash characters I love, all I can think about is "How can I develop the psychic ability to give a stranger lactose intolerance over the internet?" But also this video:

You may see a great big pile of garbage, possibly a fire hazard. But, man, you guys don't know the rad shit that's in this pile. Dilaf could totally karate shop a camel's hump open to drink the milk. OK, granted, he probably wouldn't, because I'm sure he knows where milk comes from, and would understand that there's no milk in the weird back lump of this strange animal. Sadeas probably would though--it's a new kind of meat that isn't a crab, you go for it.

Not sure how this turned into a thought experiment based around the question of "Which of my favorite characters would kill a camel?"

[thedragion]

I love this SO much
