A Summary of The Cosmere

highmarshall-azure

White Sand: *Eric Andre voice* who killed the sand masters? Also it’s a comic instead of a book for some reason.

Elantris: A poor understanding of geography causes the zombie apocalypse.

The Hope Of Elantris: Sanderson realizes he forgot to write the ending of Elantris.

The Emperor’s Soul: Original Soul donut steal

Mistborn: Gandalf is evil and the Fellowship has to take him the fuck down.

Wax And Wayne: Lethal Weapon but with magic and cowboys

Allomancer Jak: *Indiana Jones music plays*

Mistborn Secret History: Kelsier discovers the mysteries of the universe and gets totally burned by Hoid.

Mistborn Era 3: Hotline Miami: Scadrial Edition

Mistborn Era 4: HOID IN SPACE

Warbreaker: The worst honeymoon ever. Guest-starring the Master Sword.

Nightblood: Will likely be (and should be) renamed “Vasher and Nightblood’s Excellent Adventure” when it comes out.

Shadows For Silence In The Forests Of Hell: A bounty hunter tries to catch a bad guy whilst respecting the trigger warnings of angry ghosts.

Sixth Of The Dusk: That scene from Spongebob where a caveman meets a robot.

The Silence Divine: *smokes blunt* dude what if the flu gave you superpowers dude.

Dragonsteel: Is probably gonna attract a bunch of dragon fuckers to the fandom. People will ship Hoid and Frost, if they haven’t started to already.

Edgedancer: Lift has a wacky misadventure while the world gets invaded by cosmic horrors.

The Stormlight Archive: Cosmere: Infinity War. It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is getting eaten by Voidbringers.

I like starting discourse. Please discuss.

Ok, fair enough…………… but now the real question is which of those empty spaces can we slot the Blackthorn into

IMPROVED IT

LET THE DISCOURSE COMMENCE

basket-of-radiants

I endorse this for Taravangian and Amaram.

Sadeas gives me a lot of pause. I don’t think either Szeth or Nale has ever thought something through in their lives, but Sadeas is a schemer. No wait that’s wrong, I guess Nale does he just turns out to be wrong 100% of the time, so that would check out. I’d need some more convincing to sign off on it but I really want to go with it though for no other reason than that I like the idea of the exact middle between Nale’s stiff, professional black outfit and Szeth’s flowy, dramatic white outfit is actual fashion sense.

The thing I hate about this addition with a passion is that you’ve implied that, in becoming a bondsmith, Dalinar has become more similar to Nale. I just…just….. Or looking at this a different way, Amaram + Szeth is Blackthorn but Amaram + Kaladin is Future Dalinar? I just…….fghjklcvgb hjklgvfghlp;lknbv bnj

basket-of-radiants

#surely Taravangian is Amaran+Dalinar#blackthorn dalinar is dalinar+sadeas ofc#honestly the combination that gets you sadeas is sebarial+odium neither of whom are on this chart#but I def agree with moash being szeth+kaladin#since moash is kaladin but wake me up inside instead of wake me up when september ends#then again sadeas being sebarial+odium and blackthorn dalinar being dalinar+sadeas implies that there’s something sebarialy in blackthorn da#sebarial is iconic in every way and blackthorn is …not that (via @blacksheepboybucky​)

I hope you don’t mind I put this great addition here. Thank you for nicely summarizing the SINGLE difference between the characters of Kaladin and Moash. I’m defending this interpretation of Taravangian though. He spends half his time doing terrible things because he feels he has to and spends the other half of his time crying about it because he knows that they’re terrible. That’s kind of Szeth’s Thing™©® right? Admittedly, Kallie’s a little harder to place there, but Taravangian’s into protecting his people and stuff, just on a slightly less personal level. Hmm, no, I definitely see what you mean though, Maybe Taravangian should be in the center instead of Adonalsium, who we know pretty much nothing about.

Anyway @tousleheadedpoet​ I don’t have enough faith in my artistic skills to increase the number of circles, but feel free to update your chart with these new opinions at any time.

tousleheadedpoet

curse you all for challenging me….. I need to lie down………. this is the final and definitive version don’t @ me

cosmeme-shard

I can’t believe you guys. How can you leave the SINGLE most important character out of this graph? Stick

Personally I would put either stick instead of adonalsium, or stick is the ??? of kaladin/odium.

“Stop treating [female characters] like a role and start treating them like a person. Most of the times when guys write girls poorly, it is because they are saying "Well, this is the X. This person’s role in the story is X,“ and they make the person not exist beyond that. Every character, regardless of gender, should have their own motives, passions, and you should be able to know what they were going to do with their life if the plot hadn’t smashed into them, and that can go a long way toward helping with that. That was the big thing for me, was not writing anyone to a role, but making everyone the hero of their own story. That was the big thing, but it was a process over time, figuring out treating people like characters instead of roles. That’s kind of nebulous, right? Tell them to read a bunch of books by women, because a lot of them haven’t, and that’s part of the reason they’re doing it poorly. Oh and here’s another big thing. The first way of being sexist in your writing involves writing people into roles, right? Into stereotypes. The next thing that people generally do, you’ll see this a lot in cinema right now, is take the underrepresented group, or the token female or something, and make them awesome, so that they don’t actually have any sort of… they’re just good at everything. Right? That’s the next level of doing something wrong, and the third is where you’re like, “Wait a minute. Let’s make everybody kind of quirky and interesting in their own way, rather than putting anyone on a pedestal,” and things like that. And it’s a process for all of us. You’ll notice that like in the Mistborn books, I was so focused on making sure I had a strong female lead, that there are like no other women in the book. And that’s a really common mistake. But you’ll just get better at it the more you write.”

“What did she tell you?” he said, voice ragged, “What did your mother say about me?”

“The only honest officer in the army,” Renarin said, “The honourable soldier. Noble, like the Heralds themselves. Our father. The greatest man in Alethkar,”

What stupid words. Yet Dalinar found himself weeping. Renarin let go, but Dalinar grabbed him, pulling him close.

Oh Almighty. Oh God. Oh God, Please… I’ve started to hate my sons. Why hadn’t they learnt to hate him back? They should hate him. He deserved to be hated.

Please. Anything. I don’t know how to get free of this. Help me. Help me…

Dalinar wept and clung to that youth, that child, as if he were the only real thing left in a world of shadows.
