Sarene: Well, my husband's apparently dead, so I have nothing to do. Time to troll people in power.  Ashe: Please don't troll the King, my lady.  Sarene: Of course not.  Ashe: Oh thank goodness Sarene: That would be too easy. Now, that religious crusader with the armor, psychopathic sidekick, and massive army of priests… he might be fun to play with Ashe: Oh sweet merciful Domi why *meanwhile in zombieland* Raoden: I am going to cure everyone's depression using shoes and history books Galladon: Pretty sure that hasn't ever worked Raoden: Of course it hasn't worked, it hasn't been done by ME yet. 

I love Elantris so much. The rest of the Cosmere gives us complex backstories and traumas seasoned with snark and philosophy and epic magic systems. Elantris is just two separated soulmates who decided to punch fate in the face because they felt like it. Simple, but delicious.

reading the stormlight archives when im the age of the character is crazy, you shouldnt be here!! you should be having disastrous gay situationships

[bookipsies]

Being (very) old I am like who is letting Kaladin run anything. This is a child. Yeah. He should have gone to college. You know. WHAT KIDS DO.

Shallan is fine only daughters are just like this.

[lord-of-hollows]

Here's why you don't take stormlight character ages seriously until you do math.

Book 1 says Kaladin is 19 during his arrival in the bridge crews. A Rosharan year is 500 days. So during Book 1, Kaladin has been alive for at least 9500 days.

Thats 26 years in Earth time.

It goes like this for every character, by the way. In Earth years, Shallan is 19, Dalinar is 68, Szeth is 41, Venli is 21.

Adolin is 27, Renarin is 23, Jasnah is 40, Lift is 16 this one is funny to me because Lift is written in a way that makes me think 12. (Loving the preview chapters by the way, first character in the Cosmere to use a real swear, Lift said shit.)

Now of course the younger a character is the less dramatic the difference in earth years will be. When the book says Oroden is 2 and Gavinor is 5... yeah, the math says Gavinor is about to turn 7 and Oroden is still 2. But when the book says Taravangian is in his 70s, without specifying the exact year. That means he's AT LEAST 95. Makes all the fussing about his age and frailty make a lot more sense, doesn't it?

[absolfan]

All very good math, but have you taken into account that each Rosharan day is only about 20 earth hours?

My needling aside, that is very good math for getting a better sense of where everyone is. A lot of them still need to chill, sheesh.

[usuallystickyprince]

If each day of Roshar is 20 earth hours, that means a Roshar year is about 416 earth days.

So kaladin is really 21 or 22 at the start of the book.

Shallan is 19, Adolin is 26, Jasnah is 37.

Traravangian is 80.

Which is really accurate to how I pictured them while reading.

Kaladin felt like he was old enough to drink but not old enough to rent a car at an airport, you know.

they probably cant love me back in a human or even mammalian sense, but my goldfish with their smooth pea-sized brain have learned to trust that i will make them better when they are sick. i feel like crying about this often

[cantabilechaos]

Maybe Princess the tarantula never had anything resembling what we as humans know as emotions, but she still came out of her burrow and up to the glass when we’d talk to her and used to stare at the drawing I’d tape to her terrarium. Maybe she couldn’t even comprehend what we were, but she knew we were there to take care of her. And even if she never showed that sort of curiosity or trust we’d still love her.

[gay-jesus-probably]

Idk if Munchie the praying mantis felt love for me, but I do know he trusted me enough to climb onto my hand when offered and was comfortable with allowing me to carry him places despite me being absolutely massive in comparison to him. So that's close enough in my book.

[valtsv]

the author's barely disguised lack of socialisation and profound sense of alienation from all other human life

[wizardarchetypes]

let me tell you driving from Ohio to Washington in a SmartCar with everything I owned was funny enough on its own but once I got west of the Rockies, every. single. time. I stopped ar a gas station, random dads would just spawn beside my car. like there was some sort of dad portal following me. and they’d see my ohio plates and go, “did you DRIVE through the mountains in that?” and every. single. time. I’d go, “well, they didn’t airlift me!”

it killed. it absolutely cleared ever time. never failed to make the dads laugh. they were obsessed. i said it the same every time. it was like I was in a groundhog day timeloop on interstate 70 westbound gas stations. and you know what? I was happy.
