This funny guy made becoming the messiah a whole project for himself. Can't believe a fortnite character would do something like that.

shallan and kaladin are like two sides of the same coin

> both take responsibility for things that were outside of their control in order to create the illusion that they had some measure of influence over horrific things that happened to them (because the alternative is too unbearable)

> both have hardcore main character syndrome - which is just reaffirmed by the narrative again and again lol (like, it is true that they do happen to be main characters in a book series. but even if they weren't they would still feel like that imo)

> both feel the need to take care of others and hate being the one that is taken care of (but despite how uncomfortable it is for them they still somewhat crave it)

> both have a very strong sense of justice (even if their ideas of what is right and wrong don't exactly align)

> both have put a lot of time and effort into one specific skill that they then use to define their entire sense of self-worth

> both try to view who they are on bad days and who they are normally as two separate people (i just say "the wretch")

> on that note: so much mental illness lol

> both absolutely abhorr failure

> connected to the above: both are willing to do slightly insane things in order for things to go according to their will

the main difference is that everyone views Kaladin as somewhat above them ("Stormblessed") even though he genuinely just wants to be one of the guys. He is just like everyone else! By the Almighty please stop worshipping him or seeing him as somehow better than the average soldier !! 😭

while Shallan is viewed as meek and somewhat weak and all around not something all too special (cue kaladin's absolute shock when she tells him her backstory) even though she really really really needs to be seen as something special. she knows in the end effect it benefits her if she doesn't stand out too much or if people underestimate her (their looks of wonder when she surprises them is always great) but damn it she went through hell and pulled through - pulled her brothers through, that are older than her - and still people can never properly appreciate her 😔

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.

I often think about Kaladin feeling at peace with the wind. Our boy deserves to be carefree every now and then. 💙 I think he looks pretty with the piercings so they stayed & I couldn't decide on an outfit, so I made both.

let me just put this out there. reading literally ANYTHING after a Brandon Sanderson kick SUCKS. I’ve read all the Sanderson books i have access to (all of the mistborn books, including secret history, first three stormlight books, the two novellas, and tress) minus RoW because i want to save it so now im reading mediocre books and its not fun.

Shallan getting excited about getting matched with Adolin as if every other highborn woman hasn't already been before her. It's not a betrothal girl, at this point it's jury duty.

[youravraragechessenjoyer]

The final Empire is cool because you have this build of political positioning and anticipation towards the overthrowing of a tyrannical dictator claiming to be a god with a man newly escaped from slavery who lost his wife beginning his vengeance lust, then you have a Wattpad romance thrown in. And. I Ate. That. Shit. Up.

Dalinar meeting the Nightwatcher I don't find much time lately for fanart, but this one just fitted my mood that day. It is based on an old sketch from 2021 which I never fully rendered.

Questioner: Ever be a book like the one from the Radiant Orders video?

Brandon Sanderson: Probably not, but the RPG book should have a decent amount of that kind of information in it when we launch the Stormlight RPG later this year.

We're intending that at least one of those books to be of general interest to people who like the series, because a lot of the countries I couldn't get to in the books, we'll have some information on. Good information on all the brands of Fused, all the Orders of Knights Radiant, stuff like that that'll be fun for even if you don't [play the RPG].
