Cosmere Characters' Cosmere Blorbos
If Cosmere characters had access to all of the Cosmere books, they might end up with their own Cosmere blorbos--you know, their special interest character that they're lowkey obsessed with. And if that happened somehow, here is how I think it would go.
1. Moash's blorbo: Kelsier
A guy who was tortured by the nobles on his planet and then turned around to take bloody revenge and never die? Moash would be the embodiment that one meme: "Friendship canceled with Kaladin. Now Kelsier is my (fictional) best friend."
2. Kelsier's blorbo: Kaladin
Meanwhile, Kelsier can't help but imagining what it would take to corrupt Kaladin, maybe writing 1 to 15 fanfics about that premise.
3. Kaladin's borbo: Tress
Kaladin is enchanted by a world where someone can easily make friends and nobody dies and where when you set out to rescue a loved one, it actually works. He's commissioning fanart of Tress standing there with a smile surrounded by her alive friends. It makes him feel a certain way.
4. Tress's blorbo: Navani
Something about this dangerous scientist doing dangerous experiments really catches Tress's imagination.
5. Navani's borbo: Ranette
This gruff, weapons-creating, antisocial lesbian really captured Navani's heart. With Ranette being a relatively minor character, Navani is almost single-handedly keeping the Ranette fandom alive, writing endless meta and appreciation posts.
6. Ranette's blorbo: Captain Azure
Ranette is instantly obsessed with the ultra-cool Captain Azure. She likes to draw her with guns. Sometimes gun-swords. Sometimes with gun-swords and a girlfriend. Ranette loves Warbreaker just because it's Captain Azure's origin story.
7. Vivenna's blorbo: Szeth
Something about this sad, violent, wet cat of a man instantly lodges in Vivenna's brain. He's so competent. Yet so pathetic. Yet so tortured. Yet so dramatic.
8. Szeth's blorbo: Silence
Sometimes Szeth likes to imagine being in a world with only three simple rules. A world where if you kill people, they can in fact still kill you back. A world where the Evil is, like, clearly labeled. And in such a world, Szeth likes to think about Silence, who is tough and no-nonsense and loves her strange, traumatized child.
Silence likes to think that her daughters could be like Vin: so overwhelmingly powerful and competent as to meet any challenge, and so loved by their found family.
10. Vin's blorbo: Shallan
Vin is just endlessly fascinated by Shallan, this woman who is so different from Vin herself and yet also feels strangely familiar.
11. Shallan's blorbo: Nikaro
Nikaro has it all for Shallan. He's an artist. He's good at art. He has something gender going on. He's overdramatic. He's just a little bit pathetic. He does a body swap. Shallan is instantly obsessed.
12. Nikaro's blorbo: Spook
Spook, well... Well, he's just inherently cool, right? Nikaro thinks so. He fights while wearing a blindfold. He burned so much metal he became a savant--incredibly powerful and always in pain. He's lonely. He (almost literally) can't be understood by most people. He walked into a fire. His name is Spook.
Nikaro is Spook's #1 fan.
