Questioner Any more Indian mythology coming in the Cosmere?

Brandon Sanderson: Kelyani and Rahul, who do our worldbuilding for that, because my grasp of Indian mythology and things is... it's improving, because they're helping me. But they have turned in a rough draft of their world guide for the Indian-inspired world in the Cosmere.

So I do think more is going to be coming in the future. But I'm taking it slow, because there are certain things I've done a ton of research on, and I've immersed myself in. And Indian mythology is something new, and Indian culture.

So I want to do a good job with it. This is why I brought in experts to help me with it.

#love how thoughtful he is about this

I am going to get a dog in the next year and I’m thinking of Cosmere names I realized I can’t name it Siri. It’s a cute name for a dog but my phone would turn on every time I said it 😆

canonically, in the cosmere, Invested individuals persist in the cognitive realm for a short time after end of life in the physical. Considering Elhokar was in the midst of swearing the First Ideal, and was highly likely to have had numerous infused gems on his person, I think it's not only plausible but probable that he survived in the cognitive realm for at least a couple minutes after his death.

all that is to say, Elhokar got to see his son be rescued by Drehy and Skar. and also got to watch Kaladin Stormblessed crawl emotionally devastated towards his unmoving body. So you know. It's not all bad.

#I needed this thank you

dear stormfather.

#look I love Elhokar. I don’t think he’s pathetic so I’m not voting #but I’m passing it on to my followers because this is still HILARIOUS

About to start my re-read of the Cosmere and this time I’m attempting to annotate as I go. The last time I listened to audiobooks so this time I’m marking up my beautiful signed copies.

I haven’t annotated anything in a long time but the books I have annotations for are precious. Like little pieces of my soul are in them.

So I’m putting pieces into the books that changed me.

They're pure sunshine and love, pls, I love how Adolin always try to make her smile and how she teases him with silly jokes. Their dorky and adorables conversations in WoR and RoW give me life UwU

#this is SO CUTE

Today I saw on TikTok someone saying that Brandon Sanderson wasn’t “important lit” when the only book of his they’d even started was Tress of the Emerald Sea

TikTok has some of the most rancid book takes I’ve ever seen I swear

#brandon sanderson #cosmere #BookTok sucks

Sazed and Breeze both have mom energy, but Sazed is the "Wash behind you ears, have you eaten today, it's chilly outside, wear a jacket"-mom and Breeze is just a full on "it's five o'clock somewhere" wine mom.

#who ships Elend and Yomen????

[emrystheedgedancer]

Elend Venture is my standard for men. If you can’t do a research project and then take down an evil theocracy I don’t want it

*Scadrian Youth Pastor voice* I've heard a lot about the Ides of March, but have you thought about the Eyes of Marsh? Let's rap about what happens when you die...

#holding firm that he will refuse to be redeemed and Kaladin will have to kill him

Never mind if the other option is as handsome as sun, kind to everyone he meets regardless of thier station, passionate about his art, and genuinely humble in the weirdest, most confident way. Never mind if he actually seems to get you, and remarkably listens to your problems, encouraging you to be you - not hide yourself away. Never mind if being near him makes you want to rip his shirt off and push him into the nearest alleyway, then kiss him until he can’t breathe anymore. If he can’t fly, then well, you just have to call it off!
