Questioner: We've seen Renarin do some pretty *inaudible* things both in Oathbringer and in Rhythm of War.
And my question was, are Truthwatchers able to use aspects of the Progression and Lightweaving surge to have someone or something become a different version of itself?
Brandon Sanderson: They can't make that happen, but they can certainly invite.

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.

Questioner: Would Rock get along with Sixth?
Brandon Sanderson: Yeah, I think that he might. It's hard to not get along with Rock, let's just say that.

Sword gays showdown, losers bracket (Round 1)
Propaganda:
For Adolin Kholin:
HIMBO SUPREME!! Fights with a giant-ass fantasy sword. Unlike everyone else, he does not have superpowers, but he is REALLY GOOD AT SWORD!!! Best duelist in the kingdom, doesn’t want to go to war, just wants to be a jock. He’s still really good at war tho. Once took on a 4 on 1 duel in the most epic chapter ever written and won (ish). Befriends the sword. Her name is Maya. Befriends everyone he meets, actually. One character really wants to hate him, but can’t cuz he’s just genuinely a nice dude. Super supportive of his girlfriend, knows she’s a girlboss. Talks to his dad’s horse. Probably bi.
His church lets you pick One Thing to train yourself in, his is magic sword fighting (and hes only second to his father in it) on book 2, chapter whitespine uncaged, he fought basically (his friend helped but was super unprepared) 4 on 1 with an unfair judge and WON
He's almost canonically bi Loves his wife *SPOILERS* Loves his sword so much he resurrected her immortal soul
Omg he LOVESS swords so much. Which sword? Any and all. He talks to his sword before duels, he brings like 30 different blades on a mission and when prompted starts info dumping about what each of them is useful for. His ideal date - sword training his fiance. He is THE sword guy. And also him and Shallan are so bi4bi <3
For Liu Qingge:
Warning for spoilers, He’s the War God of Bai Zhan Peak basically the original sword gay in the world of SVSSS, whether or not you ship him with Shen Qingqiu, Luo Binghe or neither the point still stands that he’s a draw his sword first ask questions later kinda guy. Also SQQ basically canonically calls him a pretty boy, what more do you need
He's one of the best swordsmen in-universe! According to the author, he's not interested in a relationship so he's canonically aro and possibly ace as well!

“Yes, a person is more than their experiences, stacked up like stones. But our best moments are the foundations we use to reach for the sky.” - Yumi & the Nightmare Painter
I have a lot of thoughts about the Cosmere but Yumi & the Nightmare Painter is probably my favourite single book by Mr. Sanderson so far

In typical Sanderson fashion, the prologue shows what’s gonna happen in the rest of the story. Prologue—> Wayne’s mom telling a story, she dies the next day. Main book—>Wayne is telling/living the story. I can see where this is going, and I’m going to cry. He JUST fixed his mental health, I swear to the Survivor if he dies. I’m rioting in the streets.

Questioner: What's a character you thought would be more liked or popular, if you have one?
Brandon Sanderson: Oh boy, I don't know about that. I mean, I do think that the original version of Chet, from Cytonic, people would like more, and they HATED him, which is why I ripped him out and rewrote the book entirely.
That's one of the worst reactions I've had to a character - but, of course, that why I have beta reads, and alpha reads. When I flub up that big, then I want to know it before the book comes out, right?
Generally I have a pretty good instinct.
And it's odd, in book series, if you have multiple viewpoints, there will always be more variance in what people think of the characters. For instance, in Skyward, generally the characters are just not as divisive.
But in Elantris or Stormlight, where the character you love - other characters are pulling you away from, to tell their stories - you will generally, whoever that character is that you love, resent the other ones a little bit more than you would in a single-viewpoint narrative.
But that does make people kind of like the character they like even more, it's one of those things.

What is this?” Dalinar bellowed toward Sadeas, who sat only a short distance away. The lighteyes on the benchlike rows of seats between them hunched down or fled, leaving a direct line of sight between the highprinces.
Sadeas and his wife turned about, lazily. “Why do you ask me?” Sadeas called back.
Wait I'm sorry I missed this the first dozen times I read this scene because that is the funniest shit. POV: you managed to get pretty good seats for the duel! Then Highprince Kholin starts shouting at Highprince Sadeas and you realize a) why these seats were empty and b) this might be the day that the Blackthorn finally snaps and just straight starts murdering people again. And you are in between him and the guy he very clearly wants to start with.
You duck down because you're right in the middle and you don't think you can run in time. There's several points during the duel where you want to get back up because the way the crowds reacting its clearly a really good match but every time you peek back at one of the highprinces they are VISIBLY losing their shit. Apparently Adolin Kholin somehow wins against FOUR shardbareres?? You start to get back up but then he challenges SADEAS to a duel and then someone next to him challenges AMARAM and the king is ARRESTING one of them and you figure you'll stay on the floor until everyone else leaves.

Another Cosmere Inktober sketch finished. Ignore the fact it's now April and my last one was December and the sketch was done in October. Just look at my take on Cyberpunk Mistborn Hoid.

Questioner: Ever be a book like the one from the Radiant Orders video?
Brandon Sanderson: Probably not, but the RPG book should have a decent amount of that kind of information in it when we launch the Stormlight RPG later this year.
We're intending that at least one of those books to be of general interest to people who like the series, because a lot of the countries I couldn't get to in the books, we'll have some information on. Good information on all the brands of Fused, all the Orders of Knights Radiant, stuff like that that'll be fun for even if you don't [play the RPG].
