In another life the Stormlight trio was Renarin, Tien, and Shallan, who were born in 1154, 1155, and 1156 respectively.

Entertainingly enough, the canon trio of Adolin, Kaladin, and Shallan were born in 1150, 1153, and 1156 respectively, so their age gaps are still equidistant with a Kholin as the oldest and Shallan as the youngest.

I want Renarin to swear an Ideal on-page in book 5. I want him to admit to himself how angry he is about his mother's death. I want him to get in a screaming fight with Dalinar. I want him to kiss his crab bf. I want him to go full unsettling prophet mode and creep out everyone around him. I want him to kill seven more thunderclasts. I want him to learn more about Listener culture through Rlain. I want Adolin to convince him to wear fashion frames. I want him to pursue his interest in fabrial mechanics. I want him to have a wine snob moment. I want him to help Rlain keep an eye on the humans I want it to be safe for Glys to live outside his chest I want him to say the words "there's nothing wrong with me" aloud I want

Literally always thinking about Renarin and how important he is

Hyperspecific poll bandwagon time:

My dad didn't meet me until I was almost a year old

I'm a huge wine snob

I didn't learn how to read and write until I was (Jared) 19

My cousin almost stabbed me one time

I used to wear glasses but I don't need them anymore

I killed a 30-ft rock monster to stop it from destroying a city

I have heretical visions of the future

I have a secret crush on a crab man

More than one

None of the above

Every now and then I think about the fact that "Renarin" means "like one who is born unto himself" and I have to lie down for a little

Kalarin vs Rlainarin

(send me a ship and I’ll give my brutally honest opinion)

I can only give my perspective as someone who read Stormlight post-Rlainarin-confirmation but both ships are, at this point, given only scraps in canon so really everything is based on fanon. So like, that’s what I’m gonna be going by

Kalarin is a quaint ship from a different time, one that isn’t objectionable but also isn’t exactly rife with content. Kaladin is a character that has had very strong friendships that lend themselves well to shipping (even though I stand hard and fast by my claim that Kaladin is not in a point in his life where he should be dating, much as I like (sha)kadolin). Renarin is not really one of those characters. Besides a couple lines, which I do think can be read as Kaladin finding Renarin attractive, there isn’t much there.

Rlainarin has even less, but there will be more in the future. This gives it a leg up. Most of the fic for it is also adorable and make me believe in love. BUT. One thing that distracts me in the fics is that the potential end of the world is 10 days after row and yet in that time Rlain is specifically getting narsty with Renarin. Like me too but like PRIORITIES MAN. Idk I think it’s sweet and cute and hot and healthy but I’m not Super Invested yet yknow. I know in the back half of the series when I’m in my late 20s I’ll be like YEAAAAH but for now it just sort of exists
