Stormlight Archive brain mush. SPOILER THOUGHTS.
Can we talk about Kaladin "I had nine carefree days after going off the deep end and trying very hard to kill myself before deciding to sacrifice myself to save all the spren with my fingers crossed that the Wind and insane as fuck Ishar had a plan for it to not result in my eternal torture" Stormblessed??? That boy is not right in the head. And not because he suffers from PTSD and depression, but bc he thinks nine days of sorta fun is enough for him to know anything about self care.
That poor sweet (not?) gloomy asshole.
With his most recent skill developments, Kaladin would make for an absolutely incredible Soulcaster. He would simply therapize the Stick into realizing that deep down in its wooden heart it wants to be Fire. Shallan could never.
The best part about reading a Brandon Sanderson book is that every time you read it around someone else they are obligated to say some form of “wow! Big book!” and it brings back gifted kid™ emotions i haven’t felt since the accident
OH FUCK OFF GOLD BURNING MISTINGS SEE AN ALTERNATE VERSION OF THEMSELVES. ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. AU. AU IS THE ELEMENT SHORTHAND THING FOR GOLD. FUCK YOU BRANDON. FUCK.
I know that technically the Windrunners' third Oath tells them to protect even those whom they hate, but I swear to Adonalsium that somewhere in the second arc of Stormlight, Kaladin, having learned of Leyten's death and Sigzil's disappearance, is going to take a good, hard look at Moash and immediately swear the 6th Windrunners' oath which goes somewhere along the lines of: "...but THIS BITCH deserves to die."
Over 6 months in the making (mostly bc procrastination) but I finally compiled my Kanto Gym Leader Magazine series. I love the idea of an in-universe style fashion publication where they all do interviews about their hobbies and stuff
Want something like this for your own OC? My commissions are open!!

Gancho, Doug, my brother in Adonalsium (Highly), I'm going to hold your hand when I say this:
Not knowing what's going on is the default state for Cosmere protagonists.
Even Wit, who's whole deal is standing over there in the corner smirking like he knows what's going on, doesn't have a single rusting clue.
Read the whole Stormlight Archive backwards for all I care, you'll still find yourself better informed than Kaladin Stormface
The Kaladin/Szeth chapters of Wind and Truth are so fucking funny.
We've got Kaladin and Syl going to therapy, picking up hobbies while doing their best impression of a dead spouse montage
And then on the next perspective over we've got Szeth playing the world's most terrifying game of Mega Man
