Cosmere Characters: Would They Be Good at Pulling Pranks?

Yesterday was April 1, aka April Fools Day, a holiday that encourages people to pull pranks. So that got me wondering: if such a holiday existed in the Cosmere, would various Cosmere characters be good at this whole "pranking" thing?

1. Syl: Yes, but only of one type

Syl is a prankster in canon: she likes to stick things together! Your shoes to your floor, your hand to your spear, your butt to your chair...so yes, she is great at pranks. I bet if April Fool's Day existed in the Cosmere, she would be an absolute menace.

2. Lopen: Depends on who you ask...

I think Lopen's pranks would be like his jokes: not intended to be mean, but actually kinda mean. In Dawnshard, Lopen came to learn that his jokes were not universally fun and beloved, and I feel like his journey with pranks would necessarily be similar. He'd love pulling them, though!

3. Wayne: Yes, and everyone has fun

Sanderson once said that the difference between Lopen & Wayne is that Wayne can read the room. So I think Wayne would not only like pranks, but would also be more aware of their effect. Like...if Lopen is tying your shoelaces together when you're late for work, Wayne is putting googly eyes (which he invented) on all of your family photos while you're out.

4. Sarene: Yes (mostly against Iadon)

Sarene, Miss Malicious-compliance-and-weaponizer-of-other-people's-misogyny, would love an excuse to "accidentally" prank Iadon. She'd either do really obvious pranks and blame them on feminine confusion ("Oh dear I just wanted to clean but I guess washing your portrait ruined it??") or do really sneaky pranks that no one could trace back to her (cut to Sarene secretly weakening the seams on all of Iadon's clothing so that a good sneeze will make them all fall off).

5. Kaladin: Not anymore

We know that in canon Kaladin pulled pranks as a kid--he told Tien to save a lurg to dump in their dad's bath later. But I feel like nowadays, Kaladin is too gloomy and glowering to pull pranks. He might just enjoy Syl's sometimes though...

6. Steris: Maybe they're just not the most creative...

I think that if a Pranking Holiday existed, Steris would study up and do a textbook prank. Like, she's replacing Wax's sugar bowl with salt, and then he drinks a sip of salty coffee, and then she says, "Ah ha! You have been Pranked per the Social Conventions of today's Holiday!" And Wax would be genuinely delighted.

7. Dalinar: No--not at any point in his life

Blackthorn Dalinar would think a prank is "stabbing a guy in the leg and laughing." Modern-day Dalinar would be puzzled that anyone actually does pranks--aren't they, you know, kinda beneath you? The Codes would DEFINITELY not allow them.

8. Sigzil: No, too much paperwork

The Prank Authorization Form is 7 pages and takes 5 weeks for review and approval. Who has that kind of time???

9. Lift: Yes, absolutely

I can see Lift positioning buckets of water over, like, Dalinar's door or slicking the floor right as that merchant she saw yelling at kids walks by. Now--imagine Lift & Syl going on a prank spree together. You're welcome.

10. Hoid: Nobody knows

Hoid put paperclips in the pockets of every single one of Elhokar's outfits. He put edible glitter into Rock's stew, turning it into Glitter Stew. He found one of Kaladin's buttons on the ground and straight-up ate it while making direct eye contact.

But...were any of those things pranks? Were they plots? Were they just Hoid being Wit?

Nobody knows.

I've already done some sketches of Wax with his gun, so I figured I'd try and do something different - hence Steris from the scene in Bands of Mourning.

I've never really drawn dresses before, so it was an interesting experience. I feel it turned out pretty well. The face could maybe have used some more refinement though.

Steris Harms She might be a side character, but she is definitely my favorite! I am not sure how satisfied I am yet, with what I came up here for her so far, but I am looking forward to draw her more. also: that moment when your new fiancé rescues you from your kidnapping, easily and literally flattens the building you’ve been held in and it definitely turns you on...

Someone here said that Steris would love Excel. This is certainly true, however...what if she CREATED the Scadrian version of Excel? She learned about this new fangled computer thing and found it to be a much easier place to store her lists but it was just missing ONE thing.

So you know ..she made it.

Cosmere Characters Do Their Taxes

It was just Tax Day in the US! Let's say that Cosmere characters had to pay taxes. How would that go for them?

Sigzil: Knows the tax code inside and out. Saves his receipts. Is basically the IRS's dream guy.

Hoid: Does not pay taxes. This is canon.

Kelsier: Does not pay taxes. This feels canon.

Marasi: Always pays her taxes.

Vivenna: Always pays her taxes.

Denth: Sure talks a lot about how complicated mercenary taxes are but if you listen carefully, he never actually says he did them...

Nale: Rigorously follows the tax code of whatever country he is in.

Wyndle: Claims Lift as a dependent. Reports all illegally acquired income at fair market value, as the tax code requires.

Lightsong: Does not pay taxes because he's, like, a god. But it's always bothered him, somewhere in the back of his mind, for some reason...

Adolin: Cheerfully hires someone else to do his taxes, at least so long as he's single.

Shallan: Does her own taxes, Sebarial's taxes, and Adolin's taxes post-marriage.

Steris & Wax: Do their taxes together. Romantically.

Wayne: Gives so much money to charity that he never owes any taxes. Orders his accountants to find a way for him to pay taxes anyway.

Straff: Does not pay taxes in the way rich people don't pay taxes--through, like, legal loopholes and off-shore accounts and shit

Elend: Rewrites the tax code to pay more taxes.

Lirin: Committed tax fraud. But only once.

Taravangian: Is not allowed to file his taxes when he is too stupid--because he cries about how confusing it is--or when he's too smart--because he's too good at finding all of the super obvious tax loopholes and anyway he's obviously way better than the government at knowing how to spend his own money!

Painter: Got in trouble once for not filing taxes because he knew he didn't make enough to owe any taxes. Seemed kinda stupid to him.

Moash: Makes an ethical argument against taxes, since the tax laws are written to benefit the rich and screw over the poor and he has no control over what the government uses his taxes for.

Kaladin: Is torn between paying his taxes like Dalinar ordered or not paying his taxes since he promised Moash he wouldn't until he finally files his taxes at, like, midnight on tax day

It's a whole thing.

Top three Cosmere Babygirls?

Vin, Steris, Marasi.

I don't really think about women that much, all things considered, but these three are def my top female characters! Vin because I listen to the Final Empire constantly (It's my comfort book at night.) And Steris and Marasi because they are just delights. I love that Marasi can be feminine and hardcore at the same time, and Steris really fights her insecurity.

Wish I could do that.

steris

steris probably really did not want to name her son 'maxillium,' and wax had to persuade her.

[lamaery]

When you have to invite the weird couple to your fancy skyscraper party because they are too rich and too influential to ignore. Let’s hope nothing gets broken, smashed or crashed. (It probably will).

--------------------------

[image description: two colored, digital drawings of Wax and Steris.  The first one show them standing very stiff and proper, both their right arms are at a ninety degree angle in front of their bodies.Wax is a tall man with black hair at almost-touching-shoulder length, but combed back and long sideburns framing his equally long face. His expression is stern and discerning and he wears his dark tasseled mistcoat over a dark purple vest with a matching cravat, dark dress pants and his gun belt around his hips. On the inside of his right upper arm Steris white gloved fingers are visible. She has a soft, oval face with delicately arching eyebrows and a full mouth. Her hair is an elegant updo with half of it curled on her head and half of it falling down her back. She wears a white dress with a pigeon-breasted silhouette and a wide but still respectable neck-line, with dark details on the short puffy sleeves and the torso. In her hand she holds a dark handbag made from a soft material. Her gaze is hard to read. Somewhere between aloof, neutral and resolute. They stand in front of a backdrop of a cold, light grey. The second drawing has a warmer, light brown as the background colour and shows them smiling each other. Cautiously so – Steris with a questioning look in her eyes and Wax with a lifted eyebrow and a teasing expression.]
