Pros and Cons of Stormlight Characters in the Middle Seat Next to You on a Budget Airline.
As requested by anon. :)
1. Kaladin
Cons: His legs are so long. His hair is so luxurious. His shoulders are so broad. This large, beautiful man is not trying to be in your space, but the budget airline seat cannot contain him.
Pros: You started what you thought was an idle conversation, but by the end of your flight, he had diagnosed your chronic pain and become your therapist??
2. Shallan
Pros: Well, she's more of a regular-sized human and she's friendly but quiet. She seems to just want to sketch the whole flight, so no complaints!
Cons: Why does she keep staring directly at a space across the plane and sketching the creepiest symbol-headed creatures you've ever seen with her eyes vaguely glazed over like she doesn't even know she's doing it holy shit is this a Twilight Zone situation where there are invisible gremlin monsters on this plane that only she can see and is it your imagination or do you hear humming from somewhere
3. Adolin
Cons: Listen, this is a budget airline, and this guy seems to think it's a fancy spa?? He's got the slippers, the posh eye mask, the luxurious travel pillow, some really nice face creams, and he seems to be video chatting with a girl even though the internet on the plane doesn't even work. Frankly, you're jealous and grouchy about it.
Pros: Okay, he actually seems really sweet and he gave you some of his way-too-nice-for-an-airplane snacks. You take it all back; this guy is awesome.
4. Szeth
Pros: He is so still. So quiet. Almost folded in on himself. Barely...breathing? Honestly, you keep forgetting the middle seat is occupied, and how rare is that!
Cons: You just...you think you'd feel better if he just blinked. Just once. Please.
5. Lift
Cons: You had to sigh just a little when a little kid plopped down next to you. Also, she goes to the bathroom every five minutes, and comes back with food every time. You think she might be robbing people.
Pros: She complimented your butt quite sincerely. You've always been kinda self-conscious about your butt! But apparently yours is the "second best she's ever seen." Feels nice.
6. Jasnah
Pros: Like, is it possible for someone to just be really good at flying? She came in, expertly stowed her luggage, sat down elegantly, did her seatbelt, used a wipe to clean up the tray table and surrounding area, and immediately starting reading some thick tome. Do you have a crush on her? You might have a crush on her.
Cons: She glanced at the book you're reading, and you know she judged you for it.
7. Wit
Cons: Does this guy EVER stop talking?
Pros: Okay, actually, you found him kind of annoying at first, but that story he told you about the temple and the duck might have healed years of trauma? Did you just realize that you don't have to forgive your mom and that's okay?
8. Renarin
Pros: He sat down and you were like, "Okay. Cute nerd. I dig it."
Cons: You just wish he wouldn't scrawl foreboding-seeming numerals on the back of the airline chair in front of him. Is it counting down to...just before the plane lands? What does it mean???
9. Amarem
Cons: He came in and was IMMEDIATELY like, "I am taller than you and so I should have your seat." And then he just...waited? Like he thought you'd just comply???
Pros: He seems intent on pretending that never happened. Fine by you. That guy seems like an asshole.
10. Zahel
Pros: He falls asleep, like, immediately and doesn't stir for the entire flight.
Cons: He's just kinda stinky.
11. Dalinar
Cons: He sits down and, unprompted, says something like, "In my youth I would always battle to occupy every armrest but now, after reading The Way of Planes, I have realized that it is the journey, not the armrests, that matter, so you can have them" and then you're like, "Dude, the person in the middle seat gets the armrests that's just common courtesy" and then he looks at you and you look at him and it's vaguely awkward the whole flight and nobody uses the armrests.
Pros: Actually, after a while you do take the armrest and the tension goes down a lot.
12. Taravangian
Pros: He just kinda seems like a nice old man, you know? Kinda confused about stuff, but harmless enough.
Cons: He falls asleep partway through and droops his head onto your shoulder and drools a bit and you know you sound ridiculous but it feels somehow calculated. Intentional. Evil.
13. Sebarial
Cons: The very second beverage service starts he's all, "Bring me a BOTTLE of wine" and you're like, "Oh no. It's one of those dudes who gets way too drunk on planes!"
Pros: You know? This guy actually seems pretty jolly and chill. You catch yourself thinking, "I wish I could pretend he was my uncle." You're not sure where that came from.
14. Rock
Pros: He scoffs at the provided airline snacks and gets out this thermos and gives you the best damn soup you've ever had in your life.
Cons: He's just a large, warm man. Very large. Very warm. Not his fault, of course, but now YOU are very warm.
15. Elhokar
Cons: Every time there is plane turbulence, he mutters something about how it's the assassins coming to finish the job. Poor dude must be really scared of flying.
Pros: You feel a warm, parental feeling growing in you as you look at this sad, scared man. Maybe your mom was right. Maybe you WOULD be good with kids.
16. Eshonai
Pros: This lady is, just, SO excited to be traveling that it can't help but make YOU excited to travel. Like, you always thought plane travel sucked, especially budget airline travel, be she is so delighted by everything that you find yourself thinking, "You know, it IS pretty amazing that we're soaring through the sky right now traveling to a new land."
Cons: Cons? No cons. You wish you could ALWAYS see flying through this woman's eyes.

All problems in the Stormlight Archive could be solved by giving Renarin a sniper rifle at the beginning of the books and letting his visions and Adolin's immaculate people-sense guide it.

I love how bitchless amaram is, like, I've seen thirst posts about nearly every old man in the series, regardless of their war crimes, but nobody gives a single shit about amaram
#its what kaladin wouldve wanted#stormlight archive#cremposting#amaram#meridas amaram#cosmere#the stormlight archive#taravangians-storming-posts#where is the rare pair gavilar x amaram posts they could be so horrible together

Apologize to Kaladin! One of my very, very favorite scenes from Word of Radiance which solidified my love for Dalinar! Felt such a whirl of happiness and adoration while I read this part. Kaladin deserved someone standing up and believing in him;_; Anyway, almost quit painting this piece because it was such a challenge, but I'm glad I didn't!

i think the “aligned with me in this war, but i hate them for their other views” type character is seriously lacking in stormlight and was a huge missed opportunity with sadeas, amaram and even taravangian to an extent. all our main heroes may have some friction but are ultimately Good People with different perspectives. Sadeas and Amaram could have been morally reprehensible but valuable allies that make for interesting narratives and choices. even taravangian was imprisoned when he was discovered to have been in dialogue with odium. could have been an issue of like “yea i did that, and what of it? i have strategic advantages that you need, and so you have to overlook it.” i’m still at work but just spitballing
#amaram was like a super underused character imo#he would have been a REALLY good ''but we have to work with him'' character because of what he did to kaladin#the stormlight archive#oathbringer#rhythm of war#amaram#sadeas#taravangian#just spitballing bc i’m still at work

Amaram: Enough! How dare you mock me in such a manner!
Wit: Well. How would you like me to mock you? I take requests.

I want more details about the history between Amaram and Jasnah. And I mean beyond just Gavilar trying to force that ship to sail and Jasnah being an excellent judge of character.
Like I love her but she typically has more diplomatic ways of dealing with people she doesn’t like than just openly calling them a pigfucker to their face. Amaram was known to be very careful about crafting an honorable persona as his public face, and Jasnah is smart enough to know that.
Which means at some point Amaram fucked up spectacularly before we see him interact with Jasnah in Oathbringer.

fic idea. Kaladin's old slavemaster the one he rebelled against with 20 armed slaves and caught him branded him 'shash' called him 'intriguing' them sold him, is Mraize. And this linked as to why Tvlakv seems to know that Kaladin isn't actually a deserter and that he was wronged by Amaram though idk how much he knows of the specifics.
Edit: Also with Mraize opinions of Restares who he knows was in on Kaladin's enslavement to begin with...
There's also all that information that Mraize gave to Shallan in OB relating to her brother Heleran being in with the Skybreakers and assainating Amaram and that the 'long since eliminated' line with reference to Surgebinders. Which I'm 90% sure refers to Tien. Was that lighteyes who cut down Tien also in with the Skybreakers? Did they suspect but he died after being thrown onto the front lines as cannon fodder before they could target him? Did someone deduce he was a proto-Radiant after he died? I have questions.

Would Cosmere Characters Borrow Their SO's Giant, Comfy Sweatshirt?
A very important question. (SO = Significant Other, so, a romantic partner)
1. Siri: Yes
Susebron is a giant man, and so would have the most giant and fluffiest of all sweatshirts. Siri would absolutely be snuggled in that 150% of the time.
2. Susebron: Not at first
This is because he is too giant to wear Siri's sweatshirts. However, once Siri starts requesting sweatshirts that might double as a tent in an emergency, Susebron is at last able to wear hers (for a day. Before they are burned.)
3. Shallan: Yes
Adolin's large comfy sweatshirt smells like Adolin and she likes that.
4. Adolin: Yes
Other Alethi men are all, "You can't wear your wife's clothes. It is unmanly" but Adolin says, "My mom raised me toward a softer sort of masculinity and now I am more comfortable than you. Suck it."
5. Dalinar: No
Sweatshirts are not part of a regulation uniform per the Codes, and he cares deeply for the codes.
6. Amaram: No
Sweatshirts are not part of a regulation uniform per the Codes, and he cares deeply about seeming like he cares deeply for the codes.
7. Sadeas: Yes
Wearing his wife's sweatshirt is so daring it's fashionable plus it annoys Dalinar plus it is just so much more comfortable than that stupid Shardplate.
8. Vivenna: No
It is a sin to be comfy.
9. Azure: No
She must always be Ready for Action.
10. Sarene: In private yes
I think Sarene might not to wear Raoden's sweatshirt in public, as she likes to control how she appears to others, but in private? I think yes, she'd want to be comfy in Raoden's sweatshirt.
11. Raoden: Yes
I think he'd be tickled to wear Sarene's sweatshirt any time, any place.
12. Breeze: No
Allrianne's sweatshirts are too pink, too fluffy.
13. Allrianne: No
Breeze's sweatshirts are neither pink enough nor fluffy enough.
14. Steris: Yes
Only, of course, once they have been together long enough that stealing and wearing your partner's sweatshirt is socially acceptable and produces the right rumors about their level of intimacy (privately, though, she'd been wearing Wax's sweatshirts for a while).
15. Kelsier: Yes
Kelsier would definitely wear Mare's old sweatshirt, and he would smile doing it, but inside, I think his heart would be lowkey breaking.
#cosmere#cosmerelists#Sire#Susebron#Shallan#Adolin#Dalinar#Amaram#I included him even though I don't think he's ever dating anyone just for the joke#Sadeas#Vivenna#Azure#Sarene#Raoden#Breeze#Allrianne#Steris#Kelsier

My opinion on the matter in as few words as possible and why I want Moash to persist as a character through the second half of the series.
#stormlight#stormlight archive#cosmere#cfsbf#i don't even mind the depiction of killing elhokar as a bad thing. phenomenal moment#but my issue with it is it says ''DONT DO WHAT MOASH DOES'' and doesnt even humor the respond ''then what should you do''#my amaram essay is still floating out but currently the Moash plot is entirely defined by:#''YOU KILLING GUY YOU HATE BAD. ME KILLING GUY I HATE GOOD.'' which is such a nothingburger of commentary#killing amaram was an easy out to avoid answering the question on how you bring a man protected by the system to justice#words of radiance said killing isnt a viable option and then the following books dont tell you what is#oh just wait for the guy you hate to betray everyone and become possessed by a demon then killing him totally chill#it would have been particularly effective if it also looked at what made killing sadeas permissible#anyways. don't care that moash is a villain. only care that the books refuse to properly engage with him
