Sketch of Elegy from The Sunlit Man

[little-cute-pink-horrible-being]

I love how Sanderson plays with our perception of Hoid, and every time we think we know the guy, he is like "SIKE! You thought you knew what he was? Well he is actually..."

Mistborn era 1/tWoK/WoR: Mysterious and wise

Oathbringer: Kind

Rhythm of War: Not that all-powerfull

Sunlit Man: a piece of shit

ranking all planets in the cosmere objectively

Roshar: 3/10 no amount of native bird species, but there are still some from off world

Ashyn and Braize: 0/10 I’m lumping them together because they are in the rosharan system and have no birds and are horrible

Canticle: 0/10 this planet just. Completely sucks . Death world and no birds

Nalthis: 8/10 good amount of birds, have a lot of parrots and other beautiful avians, but no significant relevance for birds in nalthian culture

Lumar: 6/10 the primary mentioned presence of birds are seagulls (seagulls are still great tho) so the population/diversity seems limited

The Grand Apparatus: 3/10: it has Lawnarks which are not birds but are bird like so I’ll give it a consolation point. There could also be other birds but we have no idea

Vax, Dhatri, Bjendel, U’Tol, Obrodai and Mythos: idk???

Scadrial: 9/10 it’s supposed to be ecological similar to earth so that means that almost every bird on earth is on scadrial (at least post catacendre), and earth has a lot of awesome birds

Sel: 7/10 there are unique bird species mentioned (and more assumed to live there), but little actual worldbuilding goes into the birds

First of the Sun: 20/10: YOU KNOW THEM, YOU LOVE THEM, THE AVIAR ARE ***MAGIC*** BIRDS!!! BIRDS HAVE AN UNRAVILED IMPORTANCE ON FIRST OF THE SUN, SO ITS THE BEST PLANET IN THE COSMERE!!!! (also I know it’s the worms that are technically magical but the birds are the ones that do the things so it still couns)

Taldain: 2/10 dunno how many birds there are there but it’s likely there are at least some.

Komashi: 6/10 it would be way higher (BIG CROWS!!!) but I’m not sure how alive the birds are.

Threnody: 5/10 birds but not many or notable species :(

True Cosmere fans get excited more than they should whenever Hoid appears in a Cosmere book.

What if I make a poll bracket for which cosmere characters would win in a fight... hm

Brandon laces the cosmere with crack. That is the only explanation for my obsession.

I feel very paternal towards all of bridge four, specifically Sigzil in that scene where Kaladin asked if Sigzil was a moon. .
