Another day, another Les-has-finished-mistborn post, today I'll be talking about Marasi :). Again, SPOILER ALERT for mistborn era 2 and The lost metal.

One of the coolest things of this book was all the Cosmere references, and Marasi's interactions with the ghostbloods were the ones that showed a bit more information. I love Marasi's character a lot, specially her constant search for information and her desire to make the world a better place, and that's the main reason why I knew she wouldn't join the organisation. Still, I think she'd make a great worldhopper, maybe just by herself, discovering all the secrets in the cosmere. Who knows? Maybe we'll see her in future books.

Her relationship with Allik was wonderfull, they were so cute together. He's a very sweet boy, and a great person as well. They're both so lovely, it's hard not to like them.

I was surprised when I read that she wanted to become the governor of Elendel, but it actually makes so much sense. I'm sure she'll be great at listening to the people and doing what's best for them.

I really enjoyed seeing her grow more confident as time passed by, both arround Wax and Wayne, whith her work, and as an individual. She's one of my favourite Cosmere characters for sure.

Going feral over the fact that Kaladin's name literally means "born into the eternal". Kalad = eternal, din = born into. Same way Adolin is "born into light" adoda = light, din = born into. Bro

bored in class have a very hastily sketched Shallan (she has big hair in my mind so sue me)

Questioner: We've seen Renarin do some pretty *inaudible* things both in Oathbringer and in Rhythm of War.

And my question was, are Truthwatchers able to use aspects of the Progression and Lightweaving surge to have someone or something become a different version of itself?

Brandon Sanderson: They can't make that happen, but they can certainly invite.

I feel like everyone in the church of the survivor should sit in their chairs backwards.

Because every time Kelsier sits down brandosando specifically writes that he sits down in his chair “the wrong way” like not once did that man sit down proper.

He has to do things the charismatic fun way.

Questioner: Would Rock get along with Sixth?

Brandon Sanderson: Yeah, I think that he might. It's hard to not get along with Rock, let's just say that.

Sword gays showdown, losers bracket (Round 1)

Propaganda:

For Adolin Kholin:

HIMBO SUPREME!! Fights with a giant-ass fantasy sword. Unlike everyone else, he does not have superpowers, but he is REALLY GOOD AT SWORD!!! Best duelist in the kingdom, doesn’t want to go to war, just wants to be a jock. He’s still really good at war tho. Once took on a 4 on 1 duel in the most epic chapter ever written and won (ish). Befriends the sword. Her name is Maya. Befriends everyone he meets, actually. One character really wants to hate him, but can’t cuz he’s just genuinely a nice dude.  Super supportive of his girlfriend, knows she’s a girlboss. Talks to his dad’s horse. Probably bi. 

His church lets you pick One Thing to train yourself in, his is magic sword fighting (and hes only second to his father in it) on book 2, chapter whitespine uncaged, he fought basically (his friend helped but was super unprepared)  4 on 1 with an unfair judge and WON

He's almost canonically bi Loves his wife *SPOILERS* Loves his sword so much he resurrected her immortal soul

Omg he LOVESS swords so much. Which sword? Any and all. He talks to his sword before duels, he brings like 30 different blades on a mission and when prompted starts info dumping about what each of them is useful for. His ideal date - sword training his fiance. He is THE sword guy. And also him and Shallan are so bi4bi <3

For Liu Qingge:

Warning for spoilers, He’s the War God of Bai Zhan Peak basically the original sword gay in the world of SVSSS, whether or not you ship him with Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe or neither the point still stands that he’s a draw his sword first ask questions later kinda guy. Also SQQ basically canonically calls him a pretty boy, what more do you need 

He's one of the best swordsmen in-universe! According to the author, he's not interested in a relationship so he's canonically aro and possibly ace as well!

“Yes, a person is more than their experiences, stacked up like stones. But our best moments are the foundations we use to reach for the sky.” - Yumi & the Nightmare Painter

I have a lot of thoughts about the Cosmere but Yumi & the Nightmare Painter is probably my favourite single book by Mr. Sanderson so far

Take a Hoid. In THAT outfit.

Original non-nightshaded version on my BMC for subscribers (it's just 1€ per month).

In typical Sanderson fashion, the prologue shows what’s gonna happen in the rest of the story. Prologue—> Wayne’s mom telling a story, she dies the next day. Main book—>Wayne is telling/living the story. I can see where this is going, and I’m going to cry. He JUST fixed his mental health, I swear to the Survivor if he dies. I’m rioting in the streets.

Questioner: What's a character you thought would be more liked or popular, if you have one?

Brandon Sanderson: Oh boy, I don't know about that. I mean, I do think that the original version of Chet, from Cytonic, people would like more, and they HATED him, which is why I ripped him out and rewrote the book entirely.

That's one of the worst reactions I've had to a character - but, of course, that why I have beta reads, and alpha reads. When I flub up that big, then I want to know it before the book comes out, right?

Generally I have a pretty good instinct.

And it's odd, in book series, if you have multiple viewpoints, there will always be more variance in what people think of the characters. For instance, in Skyward, generally the characters are just not as divisive.

But in Elantris or Stormlight, where the character you love - other characters are pulling you away from, to tell their stories - you will generally, whoever that character is that you love, resent the other ones a little bit more than you would in a single-viewpoint narrative.

But that does make people kind of like the character they like even more, it's one of those things.
