Does this mean that Kelsier sits like a queer person?
I feel like everyone in the church of the survivor should sit in their chairs backwards.
Because every time Kelsier sits down brandosando specifically writes that he sits down in his chair “the wrong way” like not once did that man sit down proper.
He has to do things the charismatic fun way.

2. I could see Sterris going for either Elsecaller or Truthwatcher, tbh.
5. I think the shift from Lightweaver feels from The Emperor's Soul to Edgedancer state might be due to what has happened to her in between The Emperor's Soul and The Lost Metal and Brandon has been tight lipped on that.
6. Waxillium, I could see as a Skybreaker, but definitely one of the more philosophical ones, honestly, by the end of Mistborn Era 2, I think he achieved his version of the Skybreaker Fifth Ideal.
7. Marasi as Truthwatcher makes perfect sense, given that a major aspect of the Order is holding those in power accountable to the Truth.
8. Rashad the Splinter of Preservation vs a Herald in debate on Law. I would love to read this.
9-11. Vivenna and Ranette and Bleeder are spot on. Though I'd love to see what would happen if the Surge of Division were used on Harmonium. Or even Tellium.
12. Kelsier... I think this is going to be HIGHLY contingent upon where in the overall cosmerelogical timeline he is.
Hmmmm... Honestly I could see Painter/Nikaro as going for Windrunner as much as the possible Lightweaver inclinations his artistic abilities indicate. I think his flavor of trauma could go either way.
What Radiant Order Non-Stormlight Characters Would Belong To
As requested by anon. :)
If non-Stormlight Archive characters had the opportunity to bond spren, what orders would each of them belong to?
(I’m a Edgedancer, by the way, per the quiz!)
1. Vin: Windrunner
As pointed out by @itmakesssenseincontext (here), Vin literally thinks The Words that make someone a Windrunner, as she vows to only use her power to protect those unable to defend themselves. So. Like. If there had been an Honorspren around, she’d be a Windrunner already.
2. Steris: Elsecaller
The Elsecaller order is about self-improvement, and it attracts people who are quote "less flamboyant" and more serious, like scholars. Their spren are logicspren. I think this order would suit Steris very well!
3. Wayne: Edgedancer
This is per WOB! I mean, I do see it. Wayne’s power is essentially Super Empathy, as he can make himself understand other people’s perspective in order to pretend that he is one of them. Plus, he literally cannot forget the man he killed, creating elaborate and unhealthy rituals to remember him forever. I guess he does have healing powers too; I dunno if that’s part of the reasoning. Per Brandon, the other Edgedancers would find Wayne “strange,” but come on. Wayne & Lift would get on like a house on fire and would possibly literally cause that.
4. Sazed: Bondsmith
This is one of those that just felt right to me immediately, and then I just had to sit and try to figure out why. I think partly it's because Sazed literally bonded two very disparate Shards together into one, which feels very Bondsmith of him. But Sazed also cared a lot about connecting people and helping people understand other cultures, so there's that as well. I suppose the other one I could see for Sazed would be Edgedancer, given that he makes it his mission to save all otherwise forgotten religions. But I'm going Bondsmith as my number one choice.
5. Shai: Lightweaver
WOB has Shai as an Edgedancer, which I found shocking. I mean...the artistry? The literally becoming other people in order to be ready for various situations? The one last-ditch personality whose entire purpose is to craft an intricate lie to hide Shai from herself??? To me, Shai is a Lightweaver through and through. But per Brandon, Shai is an Edgedancer. So I guess it depends on who knows this character better. A random person who blogs or the literal author.
6. Wax: Skybreaker
As a lawman, basically. Plus, there's the whole conversation between Miles and Wax where Miles tries to convince Wax that if the law is unjust, you have a duty to oppose the law and Wax is like, "Nuh-uh shut up." (Since that so mirrors Kal and Moash, I can understand teh Wax as Windrunner argument, but we can't have ALL the protagonists be Windrunners!)
7. Marasi: Truthwatcher
This is almost certainly just me--I so strongly headcanon Marasi as an investigative reporter that I can't even remember the truth anymore. Ironic, I guess, given the subject of this entry... If I wanted to try to justify this, I guess I'd say Marasi does have a canonical interest in discovering the truth...but yeah, I don't expect many to agree with this one!
8. Rashek: Skybreaker
Had to include this one, as it's a WOB. Not a very good one, per Sanderson, but a Skybreaker nonetheless. Let's all imagine Nale having to deal with Rashek, shall we?
9. Vivenna: Stoneward
Vivinna does feel very Windrunner to me, given her bro chemistry with Kaladin. But the Stonewards are about being where they're needed, about being dependable and good team players, about making the best of a bad situation. I think of Vivenna showing up on a whole new planet, seeing a city without leadership, and being like, "Sure, I'll take over the city guard and forge a team of incredibly loyal guards until it's time for me to move on and go to the next place I'm needed."
10. Ranette: Dustbringer
Mostly because of the tinkerer angle--dustbringers are interested in knowing how things work, plus their power is inherently destructive and so requires careful control. And Ranette, you know, makes guns 'n' stuff.
11. Bleeder: Willshaper
The Willshapers are about freedom--for themselves, and for others. They want to free those who have been unjustly imprisoned. And oh man. What Bleeder wanted was to free herself and others from Harmony's influence, from the way he could literally take her and others over. So she wanted freedom for everyone and would do anything to obtain it.
12. Kelsier: Edgedancer, Dustbringer, or Willshaper
Sorry to end on a WOB, but I'm fascinated that Sanderson can see so many possibilities for Kelsier. An Edgedancer in his desire to change the world back into a green paradise for Mare. A Dustbringer or Willshaper for self-mastery and determination. Honestly, I'm most fascinated by Willshaper, due to the comment that they believe any law is a form of oppression. That extreme form of freedom really feels like it suits Kelsier, to me.

My friend is reading WoR and I reread the duel chapter and had this thought: One of the guys trying to cripple Adolin in a full disadvantage duel: "This isn't about Honor. This is about Punishment." Adolin seeing Kaladin approach: "My brother in Honor, you are completely correct. Punishment has just entered the ring. But NOT FOR ME!"

They mean the finance bros don't know who they are dealing with. You think they'd have learned not to piss off Trekkies by now.
What do you mean FINAL season of Lower Decks? 😭

I’m not sure who needs to hear this but it’s normal and okay to be DISABLED by your DISABILITY.
Sometimes it is going to stop you from doing things, and that’s okay. Sometimes it’s going to get in your way or make you struggle or cause problems in your life. But that’s okay, that’s why it’s called a disability.
You don’t need to fight yourself or “not let it hold you back” because a lot of times it will, but that’s the point.

Here are some of the things that you can use to summon Cosmerenauts at conventions Lok'tar Ogar style.
There's the First Ideal/Immortal Words, of course.
then there is the loud cry of "I! AM! A! STICK!"
then there's the loud demand of either "I AM OFFEND!" or "BOOTS!!!"

Yeah, that's not our problem, that's the problem of those who decided to structure our utilities around profit extraction models.

What frustrates me with being an "out of sight, out of mind" person is that people tend to love suggesting notepads, diaries, apps, lists, anything that you can write reminders in. But my kind of "out of sight, out of mind" extends to that as well. Truly. If it is not in my sight, it is not in my mind. And you know what happens when you close a book or an app? It is not longer in sight.

So, you folks who have been decrying government spending and neglecting infrastructure investments in order to worship at the altar of Reagan and Thatcher, where no problem requires complicated solutions...
You know, the whole philosophy that the only maintenance and work the Shiny City on the Hill requires is feeling good about yourself...?
O Spartan dogs,
More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea!
LOOK!
Look at the tragic loading of this bridge!
This is thy doing!
The object poisons sight.
Let it be revealed...
