Wind and Truth theory fact. Gavinor did not grow to hate Dalinar for the atrocities he had committed, but rather as a natural consequence of having to watch your grand-uncle tell your dad that he's banging your grandmother 10000 times back-to-back.
fave thing is when people draw kaladin with perfect hair. curtain bangs and face framing layers and the perfect blowout. captain handsome reporting for duty always. herald of kings, wind, second chances, and fresh blowouts.
Looking back at Wind and Truth, I'm really glad I didn't reread any of the previous Stormlight books since Branderson had graciously decided to send half of the characters to the fucking Flashback Realm™️ so that you are essentially forced to reread all of the important scenes anyways...
ishar: behold the power of my Mega Depression!! you cannot possibly--
kaladin: yeah, yeah. the Mega Depression. we've all felt it. anyway, here's wandersail
*clenches fist* kaladin would want me to keep going
Marsh: Sees Moash with crystal spikes in his eyes
Pulls out his iron eye spikes.
Cleans them on his shirt.
Pops them back in.
“So my eyes aren’t deceiving me! we’re just doing knock off brands of everything now, huh?”
They literally turned tensoon into a marketable plushie
The Kaladin/Szeth chapters of Wind and Truth are so fucking funny.
We've got Kaladin and Syl going to therapy, picking up hobbies while doing their best impression of a dead spouse montage
And then on the next perspective over we've got Szeth playing the world's most terrifying game of Mega Man
I know that technically the Windrunners' third Oath tells them to protect even those whom they hate, but I swear to Adonalsium that somewhere in the second arc of Stormlight, Kaladin, having learned of Leyten's death and Sigzil's disappearance, is going to take a good, hard look at Moash and immediately swear the 6th Windrunners' oath which goes somewhere along the lines of: "...but THIS BITCH deserves to die."
Current theory is that "Knights of Wind and Truth" is the book Kaladin and Szeth write while bored out of their minds on the Shinovar trip. That title has all the vibes of a group project with horrible compromises
WIP of the Oathpact reforged scene, I’m so unwell about it honestly.
EDIT - Finished artwork here.
