Spoilers for Underworld Saga, and Oathbringer

Listening to the new Saga for Epic the Musical and its got me thinking—

Okay for a little background context for ppl who havent read or listened to the Odyssey/Epic Odysseus is MC and over the course of his journey, he blames ppl (monsters, for thematic effect)for doing horrible things, although they were protecting themselves and their family. And at the end of the newest saga, he realizes this, and goes “what if im the monster” in reference to all the horrible shit HE’S done, and THEN, he goes “yea i have to be the monster” to get him and his men home, mainly Him so he can see his wife and son again.

(“If I became the monster to everyone but us / And made sure we got home again / Who would care if we're unjust?”)

Getting TO THE POINT, I want Adolin to have an Odysseus level character development. I want him to stop worrying about what Dalinar thinks is right, what the Knight Radiants think is right, etc. and realize that just because you’re ACTING honorable and having good morals, doesn’t mean that the world will cater to that and sometimes you HAVE to do bad shit to get to your goals

Although i DESPISE all three of them, Sadeas, Gavilar, and Amaram understood this. Those three died because they meddled in shit they weren’t supposed to, (Gavilar w the.. all of it, Amaram w the sons of Honor, Sadeas with insulting Dalinar in front of Adolin) like if those three ppl had had foresight and aligned themselves properly, they would still be alive.

And rlly the only reason Dalinar remembers the Rift is bc he killed his wife. I would bet some money that if his wife didn’t die there, he would just file it away under “horrible shit i did during the war” and never gone to the Valley, etc.

I want Adolin to be a more morally grey character, mostly bc the main characters of the story rn, not including Shallan, are like “holier than thou” type shit. Also it would totally be a good breakaway from Adolin’s adolescence into his true adulthood where he is not just Dalinar’s Son.

TL;DR: (Odysseus = Adolin, hopefully) I want Adolin to do bad things, know they’re bad, not care, because this is War and you can’t always make ur dad proud

bored in class have a very hastily sketched Shallan (she has big hair in my mind so sue me)

I often think about Kaladin feeling at peace with the wind. Our boy deserves to be carefree every now and then. 💙 I think he looks pretty with the piercings so they stayed & I couldn't decide on an outfit, so I made both.

I always read “blonde peppered with black” NOT as like he has black roots or highlights like a more natural hairstyle i ALWAYS interpreted it as chunky little streaks

all adolin fanart is good fanart but i have a special place in my heart for the ones that commit to giving him chunky streaks like an early 2000s boyband

#honestly i was kinda suprised ppl interpreted it as black highlights #SAME WITH RENARIN #SAME WITH RENARIN!! #i always saw it as streaks #not highlights #actually insane over this #adolin kholin #cosmere #stormlight archive #the stormlight archive #brandon sanderson

Hoid-Kaladin dynamic is awesome bc Hoid isn’t even that annoying to Kaladin. He’ll truly just be like “rough day huh Kaladin” and Kaladin will go “do you ever shut the fuck up”
