Celebrating Roshar’s Greatest Queer Ally: The Stormfather
For Pride month, lets celebrate Roshar’s best queer ally, who is obviously the Stormfather. Why, you ask? Well…
1. He’s a storm, so obviously he can create RAINBOWS
Yes, he brings death and destruction, and you do not want to be outside in his storm, but at some point, when the sun begins to return, there must be rainbows. And since he is a continuous storm, he also produces continual rainbows, like any queer ally should.
2. He will marry you against the church’s wishes
Church opposes your relationship on religious grounds? Well no matter–the Stormfather will marry you! So far we’ve only seen that with Dalinar & Navani, but I’m sure the Stormfather would honor any sincere oath.
“Regular couple? Yaoi couple? Yuri couple? I see no difference–an oath is an oath.” ~The Stormfather, probably
3. He motivates gender nonconformance.
It was thanks to the Stormfather’s visions that Dalinar became interested in reading, a shocking thing for any man to do. And in those visions, Dalinar saw women fighting too, and now there are female Radiants with swords everywhere. So we can thank the Stormfather for doing his part to fight heteronormativity on Roshar.
4. His power can trans your gender
Ral-na, king of Relu-na in the Reshi Isles, essentially got gender-affirming surgery once he formed his bond and became a Radiant. These abilities are powered by stormlight, which has its source in the Stormfather. Hence, one could say that the Stormfather provides free gender-affirming surgery.
5. Honor is a synonym of pride
I looked this up on thesaurus.com, so I cannot be doubted. The Stormfather is a shadow or a fragment of Honor, and Honor is the shard most synonymous with pride. So one could say that the Stormfather’s continuous storm, marching its way over Roshar, is one endless Pride Parade.
In conclusion, everyone say thank you to the Stormfather, queer ally extraordinaire!
