Szeth - Blog Posts

There were so many good moments but this one made me tear up unexpectedly

He enjoys using the power. His story is about the struggle between who he is and who he wants to be and who he is taught to be. In regards to his powers he's more like adolin.

He enjoys being powerful then hates himself for that enjoyment.

He has opinions and rage but he tries to be passionless cause he thinks it's the right way.

He's just a small wet meow meow.

szeth is all like "I hate killing people. I hate myself for killing people. Why must I kill people all the time" and then every time he fights it's the most elaborate fight scene ever. There is ONE GUARD and he lashes him upwards, binds him to the ceiling, puts his own spear under him, and then waits for the lashing to run out so the guard falls down and is impaled. and every fight scene is like that. if you think murder is morally wrong why did you do that to him

I actually don't know why don't more people ship kaladin × Jasnah. It's so similar to kaladin × lashwi.

1. They are both experts of their fields

2. They respect each other (grudgingly for style points)

3. They are both feared / respected

4. They think opposite to always be bickering

which Is perfect

5. They HAVE to work together to achieve

success. They can't do it alone.

6. If they get together shallan will write smut fic

of them.

7. Both are about individual Freedom.

8. They are both shallan's type

All the elements of a perfect ship is there!!!

What Your Preferred Kaladin Ship Says About You

[Minor spoilers for Stormlight]

Can the ships you like and/or write fanfiction for and/or read fanfiction for reveal something about you? Let’s say the answer is yes–what might your preferred Kaladin ship(s) say about you? 

1. Kaladin x Shallan

That scene in the chasms really got to you. You want to see two broken people raise each other up, preferably with a good helping of snark. Either that, or your love language is boot-stealing.

2. Kaladin x Adolin

You like a good rivals-to-lovers relationship, and you have a slight humiliation kink–it’s why you find yourself reading “bridgeboy” as romantic. 

3. Kaladin x Adolin x Shallan

Unlike Brandon Sanderson, you are no coward. 

4. Kaladin x Moash

You enjoy suffering. 

Or perhaps you just wish Sanderson hadn’t dropped the whole “the Alethi social system needs to burn” angle and still had Kaladin fighting against the system alongside Moash.

Which is to say–you enjoy suffering.

5. Kaladin x Lezian

You also enjoy suffering. The suffering of the characters, that is.

6. Kaladin x Lyn

Your ship was canon, but oh how briefly. I have to assume you write/read fix-it fanfic. 

7. Kaladin x Lewshi

You love a good, respectful, enemies to lovers slowburn. You say things like, “It’s about the yearning.” 

8. Kaladin x Renarin

I think you are probably a sweet person who wants only the best for your ships. You may have done a lot of research into epilepsy and how a fantasy doctor would talk about it.

10. Kaladin x Elhokar

I assume you are the type of person who says things like, “I want to put this man into a mason jar and shake him vigorously.”

11. Kaladin x Szeth

You probably have high hopes for the Shinover field trip. 

12. Kaladin x Rlain

You’d like to see these men explore their emotions…and presumably each other’s bodies.

13. Kaladin x Jasnah

You said “ace rights” and meant it with your whole chest.

14. Kaladin x Dalinar

You wish that a big strong man would look you in the eye and say in his deep, manly voice, “Your job is bad for your mental health. Quit right now. That is not a suggestion.”

15. Kaladin x Sleep

You just want to wrap Kaladin in a warm blanket until he feels better. 

That is to say, you love crack ships. 

Your questions got me thinking and realizing that I have additional questions:

Szeth is likely going to summon his spren as a sword eventually. Is it going to make Nightblood jealous? Will they see it as a way to destroy twice as much evil? Szeth dual wielding blades? Or Nightblood getting frustrated because Szeth really needs a long spear for a sky battle right now and he is using the sprenspear instead of a sword?

Or, would Szeth summon his spren as a shield while using Nightblood as a sword?

What is the conversation going to be like when Nightblood and the spren talk?

Or, y’all, Szeth and Nightblood and the spren in a sort of threeway poly nahel bond. Maybe the bond could dampen the spiritual cracks in Nightblood so that they don’t automatically suck all of the investiture out of anyone holding them? 

I wonder what it’s like to be Szeth’s spren.  Like, the only thing they have to do is stick close enough that he can surgebind.  Nightblood takes care of everything else.  Did some Highspren just go: “This is gonna be the easiest assignment ever heck yeah” and then sleep through the rest of the book?  Are they annoyed at not having anything to do?  Were they tired of working with more conventional Skybreakers?  What do they think of Szeth siding with Dalinar over Nale?

I have questions guys
