Are Cosmere Characters Easy to Christmas Shop For?

You may know some people who are very easy to shop for, when it comes to buying Christmas presents. Especially people who Collect an Animal. Then there are other people who seem to have no earthly desires. So if you had to buy Christmas presents for the following Cosmere characters, would they be easy people to shop for?

1. Adolin: Easy

Get him a sword or a bottle of wine. Wine is the easiest because the quality Does Not Matter. Canonically, he cannot tell the difference!

2. Shallan: Easy

Shallan is an artist. She can never have too many drawing pads, charcoal pencils, or laquer. You might even get a nice drawing in return!

3. Nikaro: Easy

Nikaro is an artist. He can never have too many paintbrushes, ink, or drawing paper. You might even get a nice drawing in return! It will be of bamboo.

4. Tindwyl: Hard

You think, "Oh I'll get her a lovely biography--she likes biographies." But how sure are you that you'll pick one that she both likes and hasn't read??

5. Marasi: Easy

Chocolate. Mission accomplished.

6. Kaladin: Hard

I think Kaladin is one of those guys who just doesn't want anything. You'll see your present in some secondhand store within months.

7. Breeze: Easy

Wine, of course. Now, it might have to be nice wine, but also, if you're pouring, he might be more generous in his estimation.

8. Jasnah: Hard

I think Jasnah does want things. Books. Nice clothing. Nice makeup. But can you accurately buy an object from any of those categories that meets Jasnah's standards? No.

9. Tress: Easy

Go somewhere. Buy a souvenir cup. Done.

10. Dalinar: Hard

Dalinar is a dad, aka the hardest type of person to shop for. You get him a book to support how he likes reading now and he seems to appreciate it but then after dinner you find him reading Way of Kings. Again.

11. Steris: Easy

You just have to get her something from the list that she herself provided.

12. TenSoon: Hard

If you get something that's good for a human, it's like--what is he supposed to do with that? He's got paws! But if you get him something good for a dog, that just seems offensive, somehow.

13. Ulaam: Hard

It's easy to know what Ulaam wants. But it's hard to actually make the promise that you will gift him a body part postmortem. Just seems a little morbid for Christmas.

14. Lightsong: Hard...?

It's hard to buy gifts for someone who can literally have whatever they want at any time. Actually, scratch that; Lightsong would freaking love an escape room puzzle.

15. Vin: Easy

Got a handful of change? You're done.

I dont think you understand Ulaam is A doctor Hoid is THE doctor and Jasnah HAS a doctorate

[hoidianslips]

They're a ten, but they want to eat your bones.

Ulaam, 1 week after Hoid appears on scadrial: Maybe Jasnah wouldn’t have broken up with you if you wore those red sequenced briefs more

Hoid: somehow I doubt it

[natequarter]

“Oh!” I said. “You can have mine! It keeps trying to tell me that dirty socks aren’t an acceptable strainer for pasta, and if that’s true, I do not want to think about it.”

Ulaam grinned, then plucked a little notebook from the inside pocket of his suit coat and began writing. “I’m recording the most embarrassing ones,” he said at Tress’s confused glance, “to share with him once he’s better. I suspect I can milk this for decades.”

He did.

as i say: i find his suffering erotic

Here's my second try on Ulaam and yay for his appearance with Hoid in WaT XD (Slightly adjusted my former design of him to make him look less scary.)

[l3st1b0urn3s-707]

Hoid's now in Scadrial!! The vaporisation didn't go as Retribution had planned, apparently Hoid had a plan in case that happened, I guess that's what you have to do when you piss off most of the shards of Adonalsium. Anyway, I loved the references to the era 2 of mistborn, Ulaam's also there, which sounds very fun. Hoid did say that he won't be able to return to Roshar in a long time, because of Retribution, but also because Autonomy's planning weird things on Scadrial (and having read era 2 I know what he's talking about, that's so exciting!!). My favourite part, tho, was when Hoid admitted he, in fact, would care if Roshar got destroyed and that he loves the people there, contrary to what he told Dalinar in Words of radiance. Love the character development there.

Ulaam being a real friend by making sure that Hoid‘s inspirational bouts of poetry don’t get lost for future generation.  ------------------- image description: a digital illustrationdepicting Hoid and Ulaam seated next to each other. Hoid sits on the floor, the soles of his feet placed against each other. He is in the process of putting an old shoe on top of his mulleted head. His legs, arms and tummy are bare, but he wears his glittering, red, short, short pants and a light blue, semi transparent crop top, with a lacy border and small polka dots. A brown shoelace is tied around his right biceps and a green gift ribbon with golden stripes hangs loosely tied into a bow from his neck. His eyes are closed and his demeanor is relaxed as he seems to talk or recite something. Ulaam sits to his right on a chair. He wears a sharp black suit with a tailed coat. Its collar and the ascot Ulaam is wearing around his neck are made from a shiny black material. One of his legs is crossing the other and on his knee he balances a notepad into which he currently writes down the poetic waxing of his cursed friend. Ulaam's hair is slicked back into a small ponytail and his features are unnaturally sharp-edged – especially his cheekbones and nose. Red irises look down at what he is writing, the tiniest of smirks formed by his mouth.
