Imagine Kaladin realizing he’s falling in a new depression episode. And now that he’s getting better at therapy, he’s actively ,yet subtley, seeking help
So, He goes to find Adolin himself. Because Adolin always finds a way to distract him from his dark thoughts.
And Adolin realizes something is wrong. He doesn’t say it nor does he say that he could cry out of happiness that Kaladin is trying to let Adolin help.
And suddenly, since Kaladin is trying to escape his darker ones he accidentally speaks other thoughts out loud…
“ How DO you make your hair look like that ?! “
They both freeze.. till Adolin laughs so much he falls and Kaladin almost leaves.
“ Well, Bridgeboy, It’s easier to show you”
And Kaladin ends up with a new hair cut. He welcomed the change. It was one less reminder of his days as a slave and a bridgeman if he changed the sight in the mirror.
Not exactly like Adolin’s , but similar in it’s admirable casual messiness : deliberate style ratio. Yet more formal because it’s stormface Kaladin and we can’t make him too adorable
I can imagine it as shortened to his ears with layered waves
And it looked so good that Kaladin can’t complain about how much time it took and how annoyingly Adolin is grinning
…That Shallan didn’t even speak a word and instantly took out her sketch book and starting drawing him
…That Navani gave him a compliment.
… That Dalinar did a double check, raised his eyebrow at his son, dropped it, then nodded.
… That almost all Bridge Four members jokingly catcalled him in the barracks, The more polite ones told him it looked great.
She didn’t attack like the prim, excitable girl who had been trained by cautious Vorin society. She attacked like the frenzied child who had murdered her mother. The cornered woman who had stabbed Tyn through the chest. She drew upon the part of her that hated the way everyone assumed she was so nice, so sweet. The part of her that hated being described as divertingorclever.
shallan vs the midnight mother (oathbringer ch 30)
maybe if some one had provided danlan w more Theory then the conspirator crew would have had more productive goals than “get mr. war criminal on the throne asap”
Thank God Taravangian never found out about hemalurgy. Like, that would be ridiculously easy for him to abuse if he knew about it. And really, knowing about it is all it would take. Cause you can use it anywhere in the cosmere.
Especially since copper can steal intelligence. You just *know* he’d be out trying to recreate his Big Brain Day
Questioner:In The Way of Kings, there’s a Death Rattle that reads, “He must pick it up, the fallen title! The tower, the crown, and the spear!” Have the events alluded to in this Death Rattle occurred, on or off screen, by the end of Rhythm of War?
Brandon Sanderson: No. *evil laughter*
Questioner: Could the tower, the crown, and the spear possibly be referring to Renarin?
I really want for stormlight six Jaswit to be not a thing but for the stupidest reason. It’s only because Jasnah got annoyed with Hoid vanishing so many times that she called it off. He tells her some things about his history, realized he has somewhere else to be and goes there. She gets tired of it and is like “I’m THROUGH with this.” But he doesn’t know because she doesn’t know where he went to. When he comes back from his adventure as a coatrack in a noodle cafe and she is like “we’re better off as friends plus I’m not feeling that big on romance.” He‘s like yeah and in private they’re still really good friends and yeah but in public whenever he sees her he gets to act like a scorned ex-lover and is really overdramatic about it because he wants to have fun.
this better mean we’re gonna get jasnah sweeping into dalinar’s room with an armful of history books and thumping them all down on his desk like “THESE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS, WITH NOTATIONS, READ THEM”
give me history nerds niece and uncle nerding out together I will pay you 15 emerald broams
Dalinar:wow Navani, this book Jasnah lent me is so interesting! I think its my new favourite!
Navani: Its an allegory for atheism
Dalinar:MOTHERFU
I’d also like to see Dalinar andLift taking lessons together
Dalinar: I’m not sure I’m spelling this conjugation correctly, would you check it?
Lift, scratching an barely legible “Yaezir’s storming arsecheeks” on her desk with a corner of Wyndle: you should spell your starvin’ menu more correct, your lunch was boring again today
Navani, her hand to temple: You’re fine, Dalinar, dear. Lift, it’s not even nine-o-clock
Questioner: On Roshar, it’s kind of tradition men eat spicy foods, women more sweeter. Could it be possible that a sort of euphemism for gay men or gay women is, “Does he eat sweet food? Does she eat spicy food?”
Brandon Sanderson: I could see people saying that, yes.
oh my god lift is the BEST character….imagine being like 13 and caring about everything so deeply you refuse to let urself admit how much of what you do is to help others….she’s high int AND high wis but she keeps pretending she shoved all her points into dex….she’s like the definition of neutral good but she keeps trying to pretend she’s chaotic by making as many jokes as she can as fast as she can and also she had a little crotchety grandpa made of leafs floating around her at all times. PEAK character design.
Vorin men being illiterate is always funny but I think sanderson peaked when nan balat had to choose whether he wanted his love letters to be read by his 14 yearold sister or his barely older than him stepmom
