Kaladin: I did it. I went to therapy

Syl: Finally! How did it go?

Kaladin: Pretty well. I helped my therapist overcome his past traumas.

Syl:

Syl: you accomplished literally the exact opposite of why we sent you there

[onlycosmere]

I wanted Kaladin to be happy, but not like this. Not like this.

Kelsier: Noble should be robbed at least once a week.

Vin: Why?

Kelsier: Builds character.

“You are my king,” Lightsong whispered. “And lord of the gods.”

And then he reached through the bars and grasped the God King’s hand. A fake priest looked up with alarm.

Lightsong met the man’s eyes, then smiled broadly, looking down at the God King. “My life to yours,” Lightsong said. “My Breath become yours.”

A vibrant cloud of shifting, iridescent air burst from his mouth, puffing toward Susebron.  It traveled along Susebron’s arm and the God-King drew it in, collapsing on the ground.

Susebron arose, grinning. For the first time in his life, he could speak.

In a clear voice, the God-King of Hallandran said, “We get it, you vape.”

thinkin about dalinar tonight. who let him. who let him be like that. that scene in wor where he gets hurt and the surgeon sees him with his shirt off and is like ???? brightlord you physcially have no skin left to scar. not to mention literally every blackthorn chapter the man was nearly assassinated and then straight up recruited the guy who did it cause hey! he did a good job! the knife highstorm thing. the gloryspren when he holds adolin for the first time. that line when he was like ‘if a guy didnt see my massive gains id question his eyesight’. NO WONDER he meets kaladin ‘just promoted a guy despite being the lowest rank possible on another person’s army and is now yelling at me, the most powerful person in the country, to get the fuck off the battlefield’ stormblessed and was like ah ok this feels familiar heres my cloak ur adopted forever. 

[shallanspattern]

Adolin is in the same pose Shallan drew Elohkar in. On one knee, supporting his weight with a sword, head held high and looking into the distance. I thought this might be foreshadowing Adolin’s death but I think it may be foreshadowing him taking up Elohkar’s character arc. Adolin feared being like Elohkar, becoming a king before he was ready for leadership and ruling poorly but when Shallan drew the young king like that to show a man at his lowest that’s clearly about to take steps to making things right. It showed she thought Elohkar was on his way to becoming a good king. Posing Adolin like that may suggest he is about to take that journey. This made me worry about Jasnah but then I remembered that Adolin has always specifically worried about taking his father’s place, encouraging his father to remain as Highprince partially out of worry that he wasn’t ready to be Highprince and outright refusing to take his father’s place as king after Elohkar’s death. I hope this means that Dalinar ascends (taking up the shard of Odium and the remains of Honor to become the vessel of Justice) rather than… the alternative.

Taravangian’s curse becomes even more interesting when you think about it like a metal mind. And there is a metal mind that you can use to store intelligence. So it’s like he’s storing his intelligence on most days and on the days he’s super intelligent, he’s getting a large burst.

On a completely unrelated note, the metal used for storing intelligence is zinc which is the allomantic metal used for rioting emotions.

For no reason in particular, I am bring this post back.
